Man everytime I enter any other Sea of Thieves thread I feel like I just entered a room full of dumb or very old people.

I mean I was bummed out the first time I tried the game because it wasn't what I wanted but I got over it and now I'm having a blast because it's not that fucking hard to see what's good about it. Why are they still pesting about it in very corny posts a week later.

Mix of console warring and "I don't play this so nobody should like it"

A week later? It hasn't even been a week yet. Lol. I've been saying this all week haha. So many hot takes. I'm now just enjoying the show...make a comment here and there. Now I'm enjoying reading other people's adventures and how wildly different it is from mine.

Not sure if this has been posted, but a 1.5hr conversation with Rare's head, Craig Duncun, all of Rare is pretty much focused on SoT with effort being focused on post launch mechanics and content



Although I wasn't entirely happy with Craig's answer about old ips, he seems reluctant to commit to old ips, but his reason is that his team's should want to do it. But Ryan pressed him on that and he was still unsure if it'd be a good idea. Overall good interview with some nice tidbits about SoT roadmap, if successful SoT will be it's own sub division at Rare, with teams freeing up for other projects later on.


So 180 people working at Rare.

Damn and he's like the first person you see lol , here's hoping rare actually have him do something in the coming months .

They need to do something because he's fucking worthless. If you aren't going to give me new cosmetics or titles then quit telling me to come back every 5 ranks and just say come see me when your 50.

He's a jerk. Lol

The stranger should have definitely offered you SOMETHING at each milestone.

Also why the hell did rare remove the estimated payout and length UI for voyages? It's stupid that the 3 you choose from are literally all the same.

That is the one thing I don't understand, why remove that? If I want to play for 45-60 minutes then I want to know which quests give me a couple of maps and which ones give me 5.

I thought this was a pirate game. Turns out it's about trolls - even the NPCs are at it!

I wouldn't mind more random NPCs in the taverns that give you cryptic messages or ask you to retrieve a lost belonging. Something to turn the outposts into more than just a place to cash in loot or buy stuff.

Because it's still what it is, no matter how much fun you have with it. All the critique is eligible.
This game has many, many flaws, you can't deny this.

I was in a smooth*sp? Boat and decided to try and ram a galleon. I aimed the boat, and drank all my mead. I got drunk, tried standing inon the bow of the ship, fell off.

My boat barely hits the front end of the galleon then goes straight into the dock at the outpost. I start swimming towards the galleon, but they start yo leave. Then they start to circle around shooting at me in the water. I think I m about yo die.

Then my boat comes back in a circle, smashes into the boat again, 3 pirates jump on it, and my boat sinks. I climb on the galleon and stab a pirate then their boat sinks. I swim back to the island and stab the last pirate. The others all got eaten by sharks.

Thanks unmanned boat ghost! You took out a galleon as a drunken captain sparrow tries swimming to seek revenge

We took the key from the skull fort and were chased for quite some time, and then I screwed up and we crashed on one of those little islands. I call them "spit", because they are are so small, it's like someone just spit on the map.

Some of the critique is also overstated and wildly hyperbolic. That's the real issue with discussion of this game here, not its actual (and many) flaws.

Except I don't see anyone "denying" that the game has no flaws?

And yet the game is a shit ton of fun for a damn lot of people. You also can't deny this. In the end, this is all that matters, no? This is a videogame. If people are having fun with it, it seems like Rare is doing something right.

Skeletons already in the game aren't even capable of doing that.

Well it makes sense that skeleton can't swim. :P
But I agree that it would be cool to have danger coming right to your boat (in addition to other players of course). As it is the boat is too much of a refuge, in dire situations I try to lure everybody to the beach and snipe them safely from the bridge.

Yeah they need to fix that and make jumping skeletons that can jump from beach to ship. Otherwise train all skeleton to the beach and blow the hell out of them will always be the easiest way to do a fort.
I mean, the easier way to do that is to make it so skeletons in forts aren't easily baited onto the beach.

Who is denying that the game has flaws? Most of the critiques are coming from players that have already invested a ton of time into the game. Perhaps you don't recognize those posts because they are not filled with hyberbolic comments and bullshit. If you want that shit go to the review thread. Most of the people that are nearing 20 on the factions have provided realistic and valid critiques about the game and suggestions on things that would make things better in a non-fanboyish, non-disrespectful way. I have no clue where in the hell you are getting that people are denying this stuff.

What pisses the hell out of me is people telling me that I wasted $60.00 bucks or that I was stupid or an idiot if I paid anymore that $30.00 for the game. For me the value proposition is how much fun I have with a game. I paid $60.00 for Uncharted 4 and had a blast for the 12-14 hours it took me to finish the game, I equally have had a blast with Sea of Thieves, which now I have about 30 hours. For the value of my money, Sea of Thieves has offered a lot more for my money in "ENTERTAINMENT". I have read a lot of your posts, you need to get off your high horse and realize that a game that has flaws can still offer great play value. For me, I have not had the same on-line fun with game since the early 360 days and this game on-line really brings me back to the beginnings of Xbox Live where on-line play was still finding it's way, everyone had a mic and it was just a ton of fun. I have added more friends through Sea of Thieves than any other game since Ghost Recon days on the 360 days. Game is flawed, Game has some issues, but it is still a ton of fun both solo and group play.

by that reasoning you could shut down every critical discussion about every game.
No Man's Sky is repetitive... yeah, but a lot of people are having fun with it.
Order 1886 is more of a movie than a game... yeah, but a lot of people are having fun with it.
GT Sports has no campaign at launch.... yeah, but a lot of people are having fun with it.

These games have flaws and it's perfectly fine to discuss them. There were quite some people finding excuses for every thing mentioned, so yeah, these people were denying the flaws.

That being said... I guess everything relevant has been said after 10 pages, we probably didn't need two very long threads. But that's the nature of online forums.

I play on Xbox One X and my load times are absurdly long. A friend of mine also plays on X1X and is routinely in the game a full 20-22 seconds before me. We both have stock hard drives (I also have an external drive plugged in, but Sea of Thieves isn't installed on it). I only recently got a X1X - any ideas what's causing this, or tips on how to fix? (My load times in FF15Royal are also stupid long)

So whats the best strategy if you want to do a skeleton fort? Were not actually having trouble with the fort more with the constant pvp.... You can only sink so many ships until you run out of supplies.

Ask to form an alliance for the fort. Then you can decide whether to break it when you get the key or honor it and split the loot.

Random point, but this game has fantastic art work. Just something I thought deserved praise.
