The clothing vendor says that there is new stock coming next week if you pick other options.. I'm not sure what that means, but I'm hopefull that this has been done becuase of an update scheduled.

2 week trial and cancelling.
This is complete bollocks. You have no idea of this, and still it's a reach considering you don't know what peoples consensus is.

Good to know, hope my mate stays subscribed so I never have to pay for a Microsoft game again. Doesn't seem like a great business plan.

Your reasoning is incredible, you say 1 mill milestone is due to free copies, then you say its a bad business plan even though they reached a massive number almost immediately!

As far as im concerned your trolling, you can see it when you start to contradict yourself.

Also, if you like playing dirty while solo:

1. Get a gunpowder barrel and rifle and set up the gunpowder barrel next to the gold merchant.

2. When you see a ship approaching your current outpost, let up your anchor and drop the sails but hop off the boat as it heads away, giving the impression your leaving the island to flee.

3. Set up in a position where you have a clear sightline to the gunpowder keg you placed earlier and not too much ground to cover in order to pick up the chest and turn it in before their teammates retaliate.

4. Boom.

You sick fucking asshole.

*takes mental note of strategy*

This is how you should be updating players in a service based game. Seems we'll have a client side update next week (probably Monday or Tuesday) and they'll probably be watching how it goes over the next week with players and scale. Then they probably will drop the live campaigns sometime the week after or late next week I would presume.
As a once-upon-a-time Destiny player, it's good to see a company running a game like this taking a healthy approach to engagement.

Under what scenario can you not "gameshare" with a Gamepass game? Because my kids can play all of our Gamepass games on their accounts just fine, including Sea of Thieves from what I've seen thus far. We haven't played a co-op voyage yet, but I hope to this weekend with them.

Rare posted an update video. More than 1 Million Unique Players in a 48 hour Period. No wonder they have had server issues.

And my controller just died after about an hour of sailing around, dealing with various ship stuff, trying to find another ship to engage with.

Y'know what? I think that's probably gonna be my breaking point for this game. The game's just asking players to bear through way too much tedious crap while waiting for the fun parts to happen.

Do the more expensive guns hold more ammo?
Purely cosmetic at the moment.

In the Beta, that includes the scope on the nice-looking snipers still being a cracked bit of glass, but I haven't checked if that has now been updated to a nice-looking crosshair.

What region are you?

I'm in the UK, and haven't had to wait more than a few minutes to see another ship on the horizon. Mostly sloops, but finally saw a galleon today. If you sail from outpost to outpost and keep an eye out you should find someone within 10-20 minutes, unless the other regions are having issues with matchmaking boats together.

Okay, don't sell your loot when other players are around.
I'll try to do that next time. And no, I didn't wait 3 hours to sell my loot. I've lost three hours because I lost all my loot during those hours. I got killed every time.

Yeah. Im sure its a bitter sweet moment for them. On one side Sea of Thieves is already very successful, so congrats to Rare. on the other side they are rewarded with 24/7 maintenance work because the mass scale.
For sure. I'm certain though that they new a persistently online release comes with many unforeseen challenged. All hands on deck mentality should have been stated.

Guys what the fuck do you when you're stuck in a storm in a sloop and your compass doesnt work and you can barely steer? My compasses was literally spinning in a circle and no help. I had my map thankfully but it was damn near impossible to steer. The weather her is so intimidating solo.

Also, if you like playing dirty while solo:

1. Get a gunpowder barrel and rifle and set up the gunpowder barrel next to the gold merchant.

2. When you see a ship approaching your current outpost, let up your anchor and drop the sails but hop off the boat as it heads away, giving the impression your leaving the island to flee.

3. Set up in a position where you have a clear sightline to the gunpowder keg you placed earlier and not too much ground to cover in order to pick up the chest and turn it in before their teammates retaliate.

4. Boom.

I'm 100% going to do this today. I've been a good pirate so far but today when I get home....

Is Reset ERA setting up crews or anything? I've been hearing that the game is much better co-op. Not interested in trying it solo. I don't have many friends on my friends list...or any that sign on frequently.

If your playing solo and might be worried someone is guarding an outpost, just pull your sail to half mast, and line up your boat to keep sailing past the outpost.

When you get close to the outpost, jump out and let your ship keep going.

Search the outpost, if there's people and they kill you, you just spawn back at your ship and pick a new outpost.

If the island is clear, a mermaid/merman will appear and bring you back to your ship, then just turn around and you can turn your stuff in safely.

They're going to want to do a lot of these if they want to keep people coming back and letting folks know whats going on. Good on them to do this right after launch, not a lot of devs do this besides the regular twitter/forum post.
