Most of us use Insiders to get in, test the new content, mechanics, features, etc and while doing so check for balance, performance, and bugs for that 1 hour or so. Most of us have 9 to 5 jobs and don't have time to grind in Insiders as well as SoT; I'm not here to play SoT twice... It's one thing to say "we're listening" and its another to actually prove it. A shaky few years of the same issues that we've been asking them to fix does not feel like being 'listend to'.
I told them that they need to take down Insiders' rewards from continuing beyond the current week listing because they aren't getting the right feedback for it. Yes, it is helpful for players to see the future content preview and give feedback during the development process, but it hasn't ever really popped the right way. This is also just going to discourage players from wanting to get those rewards because, yes, as you said, we're not wanting to playing TWICE, even if the reward is 'nice'.
about the VAC on steam, no you dont lose your games, just cant play games that has vac as a anti cheat system for example, CS, TF2 DOTA and others, and block you from trade items, you do not lose any games, cuz this could be a massive lawsuit for valve, And since VAC isnt hardware ban you can easily create another account and do it all over again...
Not quite, i got vac banned on chivalry medieval warfare years ago (i was like 14 and popped cheat engine on an empty server not understanding how vac worked) all being vac banned did/does was prevent me from playing on vac secured servers(so basically couldnt play anymore since 95% of servers for chivalry did) for games that i assume shared its engine I still am marked with a vac ban mark to this day but despite that i can still play games with vac that arent chiv 1 (yes including source games)
"They heard us" How many times have we heard this for Sea of Thieves? Did they really? I don't believe it. Their word can't be taken if they aren't capable of keeping it.
I will believe it... when Rare will respect their players again who amassed millions over millions of gold and probably the equivalent value in doubloons. ... and when I can support the waring factions with it and buy allegiance. -_- Otherwise all left within me is the assurance that Rare could not give less f°°° about me and all who farmed gold for years. Not cool. Not cool. Barely anybody likes the hourglass mode.
@ Yeah, I unsubscribed. Not because of Falcore, but because I don't have confidence in this type of content changing. I do think he criticizes well sometimes, but other times it feels like he's excusing them on things that shouldn't be excused. It's just old. I've been done with the game for years, and I'm glad I quit when I did. It was easy to predict where the game was going.
The Merchant crate bug is so old and well known. There is a "fix" per say when it happens. Buy cptncy supplies.. for some reason the moment you buy a single cptncy supply stock you can grab the crates. Or I can when I get locked out.
Technically the fix is just to do something that spends gold, bc the bug, as I understand it, is caused when the game registers that you bought the crate, locking you out of the shop menu, but doesn't update your gold to reflect that. Buying anything else that updates your gold will tell the game that it needs to take the money from the crate as well, which lets you pick it up. Supplies are for sure the best option for that tho
See, I don’t think the grapple gun should be a tool simply because of the fact you can yoink people with it. The fact you can use it to actively mess with other people, even easily set up instakills that your average player has no answer to, means it’s right where it belongs
Turn it into a tool, remove the ammo and remove the ability to interact with other players. Now you have the perfect tool for fast traversal without having to worry about it breaking PvP gameplay.
@@Mr.LegoGrievous Oh it is. Houglass is dead, the serverperformance is at its lowest. The cosmetics are just the worst. Id rather have a season with a few good cosmetics active queues and good serverperformance than this season 14 crap.
I havent played or watched anything sea of thieves related for almost a year and havent activly played since short after jack sparrow, but getting back to these kinds of videos is very nice
I've been using the grapple regularly myself, it's great for moving loot to the deck of your ship quickly, or for pulling crates from a lost shipment shipwrecks
5:20 you said eye of the storm. While I get what you meant, ironically the eye of the storm is actually the calmest, quietest part of a storm. Trust me. We were in the eye of a hurricane in Florida. It was so surreal. No clouds.. no animals making any sounds, like birds or squirrels. No rain. Very clear. No wind… just crazy.
Adding more length to the grapplegun is dope af, i think either the gg should be a tool (but maybe that would be to OP) or be just infinite ammo as a weapon being a little more balanced cause u lose a weapon that can actually do damage.
@Nick_Ryuson realistic* Rare has literally made these kind of claims for years, and the state of the game has only gotten progressively worse. Obviously I'm optimistic they actually fix the game. But how are you supposed to trust them when they've been full of crap for years?
3:25 this is not how a vac ban works. Ive been vac banned on tf2 since I was ~13 years old (now 22) and the inly thing that becomes u playable is tf2 and i got to keep and can still buy all games I want, this vac ban COULD affect only games with vac but i can still play gmod multiplayer just fine, cs etc...
I actually like the way things are going now, not only will the insider encourage players to actually test features before the new season so its not BROKEN and fuks the game just so those people who have insider just for the cosmetic now cant complain when a feature doesnt work cuz they never actually tested it. But them taking time with their features now should help the games health and survivability
I love the test server change. I have been championing that cause for awhile now and I would like to feel they listened to me but I'm sure others were calling for it too. People don't test, they just sit inn the lobby and gather their cosmetics then go back to the live server. As for Steam I noticed that possibility of losing MY games a few years back. It wouldn't take much for a hacker to spoof you and poof there go all YOUR games. Never mind the time lost but the amount of money spent. For me its thousands of dollars. So I have taken a step back from steam at the moment and started peeling MY games away from them and making them no longer dependent on Steam. Of course I will no detail how I do this because it requires some in depth knowledge that could easily break things if you don't know what you are doing. Just know that it is possible. I will be switching over to GoG. Steam has way too much power and no oversight.
0:01 if you dont receive any creates or cant grab them. you need to buy any item (or supplies) from any shop on the island, then when you go back the creates should be grabable
Since day 1 most of my crew still load in as the green untextured skeleton from time to time. The Devs cant even make me load in MY character never mind mimic someone else's.
Honestly with only a few hundred hours in the game over the past 4 or 5 years, I have only run into one "real" hacker and he was super chill, he had basically a loot notifier so he didn't have to use maps etc, it was mildly annoying bc I still had to but he'd run around and mark them for us then leave for the next island when we ran into him
Speaking of Xbox's measures against cheaters, this is why I believe crossplay should be turned off by default. Because casual players don't know they can turn off crossplay, or that they're even in crossplay, they don't shut it off and all non-crossplay servers are almost exclusively either people trying to play hourglass, or solo players. With opt-out crossplay you just don't get the organic interactions you get on crossplay. I've had 1 person I can recall who has ever spoken on those servers. Also 90% sure the new ban evasion measures are just banning IP addresses because I've had the game now request my location when it never has before.
I don't know why you're thinking that VAC bans are preventing you fro playing your games, or buying new ones, but i got multiple VAC and in-game bans on my main, and it's absolutly not limiting you from playing the game, nor playing other VAC games like TF2.
Honestly I put so little faith on their words by now that the most exciting thing I learned in this video is that Falcore can sing. Beautifuly, I must add.
Another problem for comendations are The Missions about Fruit crate, kegs or cannonballs. It's so difficult find any Missions about this. Only 90% are skelletons crew fight and 10% crate of fruits, wood, kegs or cannonballs... They must fix The spawn about this missions
I would love 10%! It feels like 0.001% These are all I have to do for merchant. But I haven't found a single quest for them for months despite going to every island looking for bottles.
i think that wiping steam library is NOT a good thing, because literally EVERY cheater is playing with gamepass anyways, and there will probably be more false bans than actual bans on steam. Yeah and insider changes obviously suck
Agreed the Harpoon Gun should be a tool unless the increase the damage, but I don't see it happening. Also you can ban Motherboard codes, CPU codes, SSD or HDD hard drive codes and of course Mac Address codes (which are unchangeable even with VPNs) on both the PCs and Modems, Routers, and Switches not tell which will be targeted by the games software.
What got me stopped playing it was when I had a random crew member what they do person ship who was trolling and I couldn't get rid of them. Up until that time I was teaching other players how to play the game and having fun doing it. I haven't been back to the game but hopefully they changed that. I know if you got the bigger ships you can vote as it crew to get rid of them but they should have something where you're the captain of the ships so you can throw people off or at least put them in a cage or something like the bigger ships.
STEP ONE: release videos fomenting fears about the harpoon gun before it's even launched. STEP TWO: Rare gets scared about players backlash and nerfs the harpoon gun into oblivion STEP THREE: now complain about the nerfs and ask for it to become a tool Excellent strategy, Captain!
THE BIGGEST cheat that needs to be looked at is "un-sinkable" ships. Sloops having holes in every possible area and as large as possible yet they will never sink. I think making things just not take damage is far worse than getting say 1 shot by something that shouldnt or getting boarded by some glitch. You can not die but at least i can sink your ship and get you away from me for 10 mins maybe.
If the Microsoft developers aren't helping with the cheaters then Rare needs to think outside the box to deal with the hackers themselves, not just give up the fight.
Hmm I don't remember VAC working like that. VAC (Valve anti cheat) is an actual anti cheat used by some games. When you get VAC banned your steam account can't trade or use the steam market anymore and you won't be able to matchmake in VAC protected games. All the other games can't get VAC bans and are never revoked from your account, thus you can still play. How the cheaters keep popping up on SoT without having to pay is that if they get account banned on Microsoft they can simply disconnect the Steam account and connect it to a new Microsoft account
Just tossing some speculation out there. If the dark brethren does becomes a faction, Duke would definitely be the emissary representative at wherever you vote to raise. I don’t remember which video you mentioned this in either so I’m commenting on the most recent one. Love your content Captain Falcore can’t wait for more ⚓️
The problem with cheaters and ban evasion is not because of gamepass whatsoever, it's a problem with the accessibility given by alternative game purchasing sites such as G2A and others, speaking from second hand knowledge (asked a guy in open crew that was cheating) they can purchase a new steam account - And then create a new xbox account to dodge ban, as, if they are banned on their xbox account and then play on the steam (linking the accounts) it attaches that ban to the steam account, but if they just simply create another xbox account every play session (which by doing so is free) they ultimately avoid the ban entirely and escape scot free. What I worry about is how they plan to introduce this as many people have been falsely banned, especially by streamers influence and how it will affect them --> Rare is not very responsive and will just copy and paste a paragraph saying they cannot help you any further, no matter the circumstance. I would much prefer if they chose to actually create a instant ban, or monitoring portal into the game to detect when a player does something not possible naturally (Like Teleporting, or teleporting a tridents shot, or freezing mid air, or flying through the water) because those are very easy to detect, and yet somehow they haven't found a way to detect it :Facepalm:
On the ban evasion issue, I think this is a step in the wrong direction. The way Sea of Thieves handles its progression makes being banned feel akin to losing your Steam library, which you said was a good system that is highly discouraging. However, this is nullified by the fact that new accounts are put down, completely removing the incentive for not cheating again. (keeping new progression) On top of that, there are a large number of people who are falsely banned. Since they usually can't get their accounts back because support won't even tell you what they think you did most of the time, they have no reason not to turn to cheating. They can't make a meaningful amount of progression anymore whether they cheat or not so what's the point? If anticheat actually worked, it would only snipe new accounts that cheat, i.e., the only people who are a problem.
It's so dumb that I still have to go buy food or cannon balls or something else from the ship right in order to claim my storage crate when they put out multiple updates that were supposed to fix it
I loved SOT but my friends and I got the gold curse and kinda left it at that. Was fun playing it but 400-500 hours in it was enough and felt done. Loved it though. Had some great memories
Ban evasion improvements are hilarious... They're just trying to desperately get rid of theb, instead of being the bigger person and sorting it out with him
If they implemented proper protocol encryption, and stopped validating actions one the *CLIENT* (ffs? what? why?) then like 95% of the cheats would stop working. Both protocol encryption and server validation of client commands are "industry standard" in gaming, it's mind boggling that Rare hasn't implemented either.
I honestly like the game. Problem I have is their is no progression. I have tons of gold and nothing that looks cool or something I want to spent it on... I think making everything you do in the game have a chance of random loot, like a vault mission, get a chance for chest of legends or fortune. Idk, i feel like even stealing loot isn't beneficial at all if nothing to use my gold for..
Drew said it right- I heard that a lot of the insiders just afk farmed or at least did the bare minimum, so rare got less info out of them. (Not saying they're all that way ofc) This will encourage progression 👍 Additionally, I just wanna say when they add dueling crew mates for pfp practice I'll have no more requests for the game. Plz Rare 🙏
Rare saying "Things are getting fixed or worked on" feels Like an obnoxius Radio Song you hear every few weeks then it gets Stuck in your ear you, rant about it and in the evening its gone. Just to repeat the cycle. I will get Hopeful If there actually is Something to Show for and Not them making promises they cant keep. If the Main issue ist Microsofts Management then its Microsoft fault but they need to Stand Up and say it.
The insider changes could be both good and bad from a player perspective. On the one hand, it means dedicating more effort to it and you can't just log on to get your rewards while you do something else, on the other hand depending on the requirement it might mean you can get your reward in less than an hour by actually playing. Insiders might also get a bit more interesting with people actually playing. From Rare's side, it's an obvious choice as they're paying for servers where people go afk for an hour and never provide any feedback.
this video is mainly spot on but the section about bans is just incorrect. steam VAC bans are good deterrents but not great. a VAC (valve anti-cheat) ban will have a red notice placed on your profile telling anyone who looks at it what game you were banned on and when. it does not restrict the rest of your library and does not even restrict you from playing the game you were vac banned on, though usually you won't be able to play the game's live servers anymore. it's also worth noting that VAC is only utilised on around 100 games on steam and in many games VAC is not utilised as it is licenced by valve and you must pay valve in order to use it. when it comes to SOT bans, account bans (where the ban would only be linked to 1 account, and you could get around it by making a new account) are now becoming rarer and rarer, they still happen sometimes but usually for low-scale toxicity bans. the more common type of ban nowadays is an Xbox ID ban which bans the Xbox ID built into your computer, these bans can be gotten around (as can all sot bans) but is more difficult for the average ban evader. another ban type utilised mostly with cheaters is a licence ban which bans the licence of sot you are using, this requires you to purchase a brand new licence for the game before you can continue playing. (note licence bans are also an Xbox ID ban so it will also ban your computer from playing) hardware bans/ip bans are a bit of a myth and have never actually been reported as happening.
Nobody hates Drew everyone just feels bad for him which is kind of funny as he is a lead developer. You say we are in the eye of the storm but how many times havd they said they are working on gameplay health. Your hopeful at best
@CaptainFalcore I tricked you, NDA broken. Get banned, ya nerd. Jk nah I havnt been on insiders I will have to check it out bit. Do you feel the game is working more smoothly in insiders and that always seemed to be the case as it is never nearly as stressed as the live game
@CaptainFalcore the same insiders they don't listen to/further gatekept what it means to actually contribute? many glaring issues are constantly addressed but not fixed as they've been reported over the years. an hour was plenty to test stability, balance, bugs, etc. btw. asking people to essentially grind for the barebones reward of useless gold now is just insulting.
Honestly they said this stuff 2 years ago and it took them 2 years again to TRY and fix the game PvP sandbox is still awful Nerfs and changes that hurt combat were the last straw
actually the steam VAC ban only prevent you from playing on servers protected by VAC, its about 3 games in total, counter strike, half life 2 and team fortress 2 so...i know it cause i am VAC banned, and it barely change anything
I like the idea of Microsoft fixing the account problem you talked about because I cant play SOT on my new computer because of some weird issue having something to do with the anti-cheat. If anyone knows what I'm talking about or has an answer to my problem please tell.
How many times have we given them the benefit of the doubt? Given their funding and staff, the bare minimum should be a functional live service game with a steady stream of content. They have lightning in a bottle. Maybe one of the best concepts in video game history. They have something so special and have failed us over and over and over again. With good games starting to come out again, I'm done. I love SoT and it breaks my heart, but at some point I have to refuse until there is a reboot or sequel that fixes the BASIC issues. I get sub 20 ping on every game except SoT where I get 60+. It has been out for years and is still a fundamentally unstable video game.
Getting caught cheating on console should brink lock your console to offline mode only and can never be unlocked. Forcing them to buy a new console just to play Anything online
season 15 being delayed? Great! I can finally book a holiday! Means I can have more downtime between grinding the season rewards... which is what im doing until something drastic like. **WE'RE BRINGING BACK ARENA FOR HOURGLASS**
You do not lose access to all the games if you get a VAC ban on Steam though? I have an account that received a VAC ban because of CSGO. However, I can still access all the other games on that account.
All it does is make you unable to play on steam servers (which is also dished out per game and not your entire library), I don't know what he's talking about
I agree I made that error when rushing the video out. But, tha point is, on Steam, if you get banned from a game. You cannot just log in to that game on a new email as it'll still be tagged to your steam profile, you'd have to make a new steam profile, and purchase the game again. This isn't the case on Xbox Gamepass.
Not to be an ingrate but one of my biggest problem for a good while was the lack of sexy hard to earn grinding skins. You know the ones im talking about like the barnacle shipset or the vault sails. They are readding old skins that you can get for doing jack sht. Inflation is crazy New ones, challenge to get, looks good, heck they dont even have to have a new challenge just chain them to an already existing grindy commendation line, like legend of cursed iron or smth.
I sent Rare a 15 min video with cheaters and they responded: The video is to long to look at, please send timestamps. They could literally click anywhere in the video to see at least one cheater but that is to much work for them, so they did nothing...
I see getting banned by accident is worse. There's a lot of players who got banned just because they were near cheater or they did an exploit by accident or some streamer d**khead trapped them into it. Like Theb... The worst of it all is its really hard to actually get your account unbanned, it happend to one of my friends, he was so confused why he got banned. Steam is awsome though, their almost always right about it, It's really rare that I saw someone getting banned for no reason on steam, and its really easy to get it unbanned if it was a mistake.
We need the amount of players allowed in a server increased. I can't tell you how many games I've played where I've gone HOURS without finding more than 1 or 2 other players.
Not with these servers we don't. Imagine trying to perform any action even as simple as jumping from you ship to a dock or another ship, or trying to get their ladder and just whiffing it because the servers are crumbling further than they are now. Stability is something that should be paramount. Either that or they need to release a new game on their own servers.

1:55 We can no longer complain about saying that they should priotise game health? I mean congrats on them waiting for 5 years to do so? Reality is people are still going to complain because they are not going to fix the big issues, they aren't kidding anyone and neither are you. Proof when hundreds of cheaters made thousands of players quit the game because of frustrating experiences. Same thing was said for the EAC, same dissapointment. 7 year old game...

That "fix" doesn't always work
they'll probably patch the fix before they patch the crate bug knowing them.
Usually one of us leaves and rejoins, Usually if the person who bought it does it it will fix
Make supplies easier to resupply and so many issues with this game will be fixed.

3:25 this is not how a vac ban works.
Ive been vac banned on tf2 since I was ~13 years old (now 22) and the inly thing that becomes u playable is tf2 and i got to keep and can still buy all games I want, this vac ban COULD affect only games with vac but i can still play gmod multiplayer just fine, cs etc...
I actually like the way things are going now, not only will the insider encourage players to actually test features before the new season so its not BROKEN and fuks the game just so those people who have insider just for the cosmetic now cant complain when a feature doesnt work cuz they never actually tested it. But them taking time with their features now should help the games health and survivability
I love the test server change. I have been championing that cause for awhile now and I would like to feel they listened to me but I'm sure others were calling for it too. People don't test, they just sit inn the lobby and gather their cosmetics then go back to the live server. As for Steam I noticed that possibility of losing MY games a few years back. It wouldn't take much for a hacker to spoof you and poof there go all YOUR games. Never mind the time lost but the amount of money spent. For me its thousands of dollars. So I have taken a step back from steam at the moment and started peeling MY games away from them and making them no longer dependent on Steam. Of course I will no detail how I do this because it requires some in depth knowledge that could easily break things if you don't know what you are doing. Just know that it is possible. I will be switching over to GoG. Steam has way too much power and no oversight.
0:01 if you dont receive any creates or cant grab them. you need to buy any item (or supplies) from any shop on the island, then when you go back the creates should be grabable
Not always. From what I've personally experienced, it's about a 70% success rate
But guys they already fixed this in a previous update 😂.
(I'm being sarcastic cause ya it's still broken.)
buy crates every time, you just keep switching weapons after pressing F and it works for me
"DAMN IT DREW!"
that killed me at the end 😂
"Merchant crates, merchant crates, I need them right away, but no one stocks their shelves at all so here I'll sit and stay."🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥

Nice Indy reference, been playing Great Circle and it’s amazing
Who else thinks mimic dart has the potential to be the buggiest "feature" in all of SoT?
Since day 1 most of my crew still load in as the green untextured skeleton from time to time. The Devs cant even make me load in MY character never mind mimic someone else's.
poor Drew lol💀
i felt that "Damnit drew!" in my soul. LOL
@thetiredbiker3652 Same. Oh well, sucks to be drew, the barer of bad news
Honestly with only a few hundred hours in the game over the past 4 or 5 years, I have only run into one "real" hacker and he was super chill, he had basically a loot notifier so he didn't have to use maps etc, it was mildly annoying bc I still had to but he'd run around and mark them for us then leave for the next island when we ran into him
Speaking of Xbox's measures against cheaters, this is why I believe crossplay should be turned off by default.
Because casual players don't know they can turn off crossplay, or that they're even in crossplay, they don't shut it off and all non-crossplay servers are almost exclusively either people trying to play hourglass, or solo players.
With opt-out crossplay you just don't get the organic interactions you get on crossplay. I've had 1 person I can recall who has ever spoken on those servers.
Also 90% sure the new ban evasion measures are just banning IP addresses because I've had the game now request my location when it never has before.
I don't know why you're thinking that VAC bans are preventing you fro playing your games, or buying new ones, but i got multiple VAC and in-game bans on my main, and it's absolutly not limiting you from playing the game, nor playing other VAC games like TF2.
What rare needs to hear from us is - add the deck mopping emote already! I would gladly spend a thousand ancient coins to get it
Season 15 is delayed. They have not finished releasing Season 14, jesus.
Can we all just a moment for Falcore's heavenly voice??
its an AI generated song unfortunately lol
It's actually not, this tome!
Honestly I put so little faith on their words by now that the most exciting thing I learned in this video is that Falcore can sing.
Beautifuly, I must add.
"I always feel sorry for Drew always being the bearer of bad news" he says, also him at the end of the video, "DAMN IT DREW!" too funny :)
Another problem for comendations are The Missions about Fruit crate, kegs or cannonballs. It's so difficult find any Missions about this. Only 90% are skelletons crew fight and 10% crate of fruits, wood, kegs or cannonballs... They must fix The spawn about this missions
I would love 10%! It feels like 0.001%
These are all I have to do for merchant. But I haven't found a single quest for them for months despite going to every island looking for bottles.
I think the Rare team has become diluted over the years. Time to switch out for a new team.
How many times have we heard this?
i think that wiping steam library is NOT a good thing, because literally EVERY cheater is playing with gamepass anyways, and there will probably be more false bans than actual bans on steam. Yeah and insider changes obviously suck
Agreed the Harpoon Gun should be a tool unless the increase the damage, but I don't see it happening. Also you can ban Motherboard codes, CPU codes, SSD or HDD hard drive codes and of course Mac Address codes (which are unchangeable even with VPNs) on both the PCs and Modems, Routers, and Switches not tell which will be targeted by the games software.
What got me stopped playing it was when I had a random crew member what they do person ship who was trolling and I couldn't get rid of them. Up until that time I was teaching other players how to play the game and having fun doing it. I haven't been back to the game but hopefully they changed that. I know if you got the bigger ships you can vote as it crew to get rid of them but they should have something where you're the captain of the ships so you can throw people off or at least put them in a cage or something like the bigger ships.
STEP ONE: release videos fomenting fears about the harpoon gun before it's even launched.
STEP TWO: Rare gets scared about players backlash and nerfs the harpoon gun into oblivion
STEP THREE: now complain about the nerfs and ask for it to become a tool
Excellent strategy, Captain!
THE BIGGEST cheat that needs to be looked at is "un-sinkable" ships.
Sloops having holes in every possible area and as large as possible yet they will never sink.
I think making things just not take damage is far worse than getting say 1 shot by something that shouldnt or getting boarded by some glitch.
You can not die but at least i can sink your ship and get you away from me for 10 mins maybe.
that's just not a thing
@@Jakethesnake939 was gonna say the same thing
If the Microsoft developers aren't helping with the cheaters then Rare needs to think outside the box to deal with the hackers themselves, not just give up the fight.
Hmm I don't remember VAC working like that. VAC (Valve anti cheat) is an actual anti cheat used by some games. When you get VAC banned your steam account can't trade or use the steam market anymore and you won't be able to matchmake in VAC protected games. All the other games can't get VAC bans and are never revoked from your account, thus you can still play.
How the cheaters keep popping up on SoT without having to pay is that if they get account banned on Microsoft they can simply disconnect the Steam account and connect it to a new Microsoft account
THanks for that dude the ending was funny too lol
they also need too add an optional hourglass invasion setting, so new players can easier grind instead of getting one shot every match
Just tossing some speculation out there.
If the dark brethren does becomes a faction, Duke would definitely be the emissary representative at wherever you vote to raise.
I don’t remember which video you mentioned this in either so I’m commenting on the most recent one.
Love your content Captain Falcore can’t wait for more ⚓️
The problem with cheaters and ban evasion is not because of gamepass whatsoever, it's a problem with the accessibility given by alternative game purchasing sites such as G2A and others, speaking from second hand knowledge (asked a guy in open crew that was cheating) they can purchase a new steam account - And then create a new xbox account to dodge ban, as, if they are banned on their xbox account and then play on the steam (linking the accounts) it attaches that ban to the steam account, but if they just simply create another xbox account every play session (which by doing so is free) they ultimately avoid the ban entirely and escape scot free. What I worry about is how they plan to introduce this as many people have been falsely banned, especially by streamers influence and how it will affect them --> Rare is not very responsive and will just copy and paste a paragraph saying they cannot help you any further, no matter the circumstance. I would much prefer if they chose to actually create a instant ban, or monitoring portal into the game to detect when a player does something not possible naturally (Like Teleporting, or teleporting a tridents shot, or freezing mid air, or flying through the water) because those are very easy to detect, and yet somehow they haven't found a way to detect it :Facepalm:
*The Grapple Gun SHOULD be a tool, and not a weapon, I agree. It should have unlimited shots, but do no damage.
On the ban evasion issue, I think this is a step in the wrong direction. The way Sea of Thieves handles its progression makes being banned feel akin to losing your Steam library, which you said was a good system that is highly discouraging. However, this is nullified by the fact that new accounts are put down, completely removing the incentive for not cheating again. (keeping new progression) On top of that, there are a large number of people who are falsely banned. Since they usually can't get their accounts back because support won't even tell you what they think you did most of the time, they have no reason not to turn to cheating. They can't make a meaningful amount of progression anymore whether they cheat or not so what's the point? If anticheat actually worked, it would only snipe new accounts that cheat, i.e., the only people who are a problem.
when he said their gonna stop ban evasion I immediately thought of the thebster :(
It's so dumb that I still have to go buy food or cannon balls or something else from the ship right in order to claim my storage crate when they put out multiple updates that were supposed to fix it
and how about bringing one blunder back, ya know, the thing that was in the game since the beginning and made the most sense
I loved SOT but my friends and I got the gold curse and kinda left it at that. Was fun playing it but 400-500 hours in it was enough and felt done. Loved it though. Had some great memories
Ban evasion improvements are hilarious... They're just trying to desperately get rid of theb, instead of being the bigger person and sorting it out with him
If they implemented proper protocol encryption, and stopped validating actions one the *CLIENT* (ffs? what? why?) then like 95% of the cheats would stop working.
Both protocol encryption and server validation of client commands are "industry standard" in gaming, it's mind boggling that Rare hasn't implemented either.
Most the cheating is just rage hacking because rare done something or banned them so the grudge will never end no matter what is done.
I honestly like the game. Problem I have is their is no progression. I have tons of gold and nothing that looks cool or something I want to spent it on... I think making everything you do in the game have a chance of random loot, like a vault mission, get a chance for chest of legends or fortune. Idk, i feel like even stealing loot isn't beneficial at all if nothing to use my gold for..
Drew said it right- I heard that a lot of the insiders just afk farmed or at least did the bare minimum, so rare got less info out of them. (Not saying they're all that way ofc) This will encourage progression 👍
Additionally, I just wanna say when they add dueling crew mates for pfp practice I'll have no more requests for the game. Plz Rare 🙏
Rare saying "Things are getting fixed or worked on" feels Like an obnoxius Radio Song you hear every few weeks then it gets Stuck in your ear you, rant about it and in the evening its gone. Just to repeat the cycle.
I will get Hopeful If there actually is Something to Show for and Not them making promises they cant keep.
If the Main issue ist Microsofts Management then its Microsoft fault but they need to Stand Up and say it.
have you seen how microsoft handles their game studios? if they make as much as a peep in a direction big mic doesn't like they get shut down
I do miss the days grinding LSD TSD with the fellas i havent played sot for about 2 years now.
The insider changes could be both good and bad from a player perspective. On the one hand, it means dedicating more effort to it and you can't just log on to get your rewards while you do something else, on the other hand depending on the requirement it might mean you can get your reward in less than an hour by actually playing. Insiders might also get a bit more interesting with people actually playing. From Rare's side, it's an obvious choice as they're paying for servers where people go afk for an hour and never provide any feedback.
I don’t see how it can be bad. People were just using insiders to get cosmetics and that’s not its purpose. It’s a good change.
Sea of Thieves is to blame for the cheaters they create and easier reporting system.
this video is mainly spot on but the section about bans is just incorrect.
steam VAC bans are good deterrents but not great. a VAC (valve anti-cheat) ban will have a red notice placed on your profile telling anyone who looks at it what game you were banned on and when. it does not restrict the rest of your library and does not even restrict you from playing the game you were vac banned on, though usually you won't be able to play the game's live servers anymore. it's also worth noting that VAC is only utilised on around 100 games on steam and in many games VAC is not utilised as it is licenced by valve and you must pay valve in order to use it.
when it comes to SOT bans, account bans (where the ban would only be linked to 1 account, and you could get around it by making a new account) are now becoming rarer and rarer, they still happen sometimes but usually for low-scale toxicity bans.
the more common type of ban nowadays is an Xbox ID ban which bans the Xbox ID built into your computer, these bans can be gotten around (as can all sot bans) but is more difficult for the average ban evader.
another ban type utilised mostly with cheaters is a licence ban which bans the licence of sot you are using, this requires you to purchase a brand new licence for the game before you can continue playing. (note licence bans are also an Xbox ID ban so it will also ban your computer from playing)
hardware bans/ip bans are a bit of a myth and have never actually been reported as happening.
We've been told change will happen for years, why should we believe them now? Trust has been lost in the community to the developers.
vac bans dont mean you lose your library. ive got one and im fine and ive seen plenty of people with like 2-3 and still playing
Nobody hates Drew everyone just feels bad for him which is kind of funny as he is a lead developer. You say we are in the eye of the storm but how many times havd they said they are working on gameplay health. Your hopeful at best
Oh they've said they're working on gameplay health since day one. Difference is, they're actually doing it now!
@CaptainFalcore do you believe that, have proof of that, or are you just being your sarcastic self.
@@tommybahamii I mean... Insiders.
@CaptainFalcore I tricked you, NDA broken. Get banned, ya nerd. Jk nah I havnt been on insiders I will have to check it out bit. Do you feel the game is working more smoothly in insiders and that always seemed to be the case as it is never nearly as stressed as the live game
@CaptainFalcore the same insiders they don't listen to/further gatekept what it means to actually contribute? many glaring issues are constantly addressed but not fixed as they've been reported over the years. an hour was plenty to test stability, balance, bugs, etc. btw. asking people to essentially grind for the barebones reward of useless gold now is just insulting.
Honestly they said this stuff 2 years ago and it took them 2 years again to TRY and fix the game
PvP sandbox is still awful
Nerfs and changes that hurt combat were the last straw
actually the steam VAC ban only prevent you from playing on servers protected by VAC, its about 3 games in total, counter strike, half life 2 and team fortress 2 so...i know it cause i am VAC banned, and it barely change anything
I like the idea of Microsoft fixing the account problem you talked about because I cant play SOT on my new computer because of some weird issue having something to do with the anti-cheat. If anyone knows what I'm talking about or has an answer to my problem please tell.
How many times have we given them the benefit of the doubt? Given their funding and staff, the bare minimum should be a functional live service game with a steady stream of content. They have lightning in a bottle. Maybe one of the best concepts in video game history. They have something so special and have failed us over and over and over again. With good games starting to come out again, I'm done. I love SoT and it breaks my heart, but at some point I have to refuse until there is a reboot or sequel that fixes the BASIC issues. I get sub 20 ping on every game except SoT where I get 60+. It has been out for years and is still a fundamentally unstable video game.
"The people hated him because he spoke the truth."
I cheered hearing the season was delayed. Seasonal updates are just a bad idea.
Now we have a whole extra month before they break the game
Getting caught cheating on console should brink lock your console to offline mode only and can never be unlocked. Forcing them to buy a new console just to play Anything online
season 15 being delayed? Great! I can finally book a holiday! Means I can have more downtime between grinding the season rewards... which is what im doing until something drastic like.
**WE'RE BRINGING BACK ARENA FOR HOURGLASS**
I think solo sloop players should be able to throw treasure a short distance instead of dropping straight down.
as soon as i clicked i was greeted by the best captain falcore freestyle of my life
You do not lose access to all the games if you get a VAC ban on Steam though? I have an account that received a VAC ban because of CSGO. However, I can still access all the other games on that account.
All it does is make you unable to play on steam servers (which is also dished out per game and not your entire library), I don't know what he's talking about
Yeah I was about to comment this as well. I’m VAC banned on CS but I still play all other games on that account, including sot
You cheaters should be forced to drink a gallon of hot glue.
I agree I made that error when rushing the video out. But, tha point is, on Steam, if you get banned from a game. You cannot just log in to that game on a new email as it'll still be tagged to your steam profile, you'd have to make a new steam profile, and purchase the game again. This isn't the case on Xbox Gamepass.
@@CaptainFalcore this is what happened to me, my steam was false-flagged.
Solution of Rare? Buy again, naughty boy....
Not to be an ingrate but one of my biggest problem for a good while was the lack of sexy hard to earn grinding skins.
You know the ones im talking about like the barnacle shipset or the vault sails.
They are readding old skins that you can get for doing jack sht. Inflation is crazy
New ones, challenge to get, looks good, heck they dont even have to have a new challenge just chain them to an already existing grindy commendation line, like legend of cursed iron or smth.
Microsoft should be blamed, for releasing it on PC. It should of been glorious almost cheat free Xbox only.
It's been years. Adventures were developed and thrown away in this time. Devs have been wasteful and misdirected.
I sent Rare a 15 min video with cheaters and they responded: The video is to long to look at, please send timestamps.
They could literally click anywhere in the video to see at least one cheater but that is to much work for them, so they did nothing...
I see getting banned by accident is worse. There's a lot of players who got banned just because they were near cheater or they did an exploit by accident or some streamer d**khead trapped them into it. Like Theb...
The worst of it all is its really hard to actually get your account unbanned, it happend to one of my friends, he was so confused why he got banned.
Steam is awsome though, their almost always right about it, It's really rare that I saw someone getting banned for no reason on steam, and its really easy to get it unbanned if it was a mistake.
As a long time minecraft player who also plays sea of thieves, you don't have to tell me to get angry at microsoft
Does this mean the "lost shipments" merchant quest will finally/always spawn the ships to get the loot from?
I mean.... are they truly lost if you find them? 🤣
I do hope they aren’t lying once again about fixing the game
This is huuuge, super excited, thanks for the great video.
I want the burning blade event in safer seas because of the fact when you are about to sell you can't if a enemy is 2 islands away
that would just be plain overpowered, the point of the burning blade is that it is challenging
Captain can you make a video where you explain the lore of the temples of season 13
Impeccable timing after the mimic dart just got postponed AGAIN.
You missed the ending 🤣
@CaptainFalcore I watched the whole thing 😂. But I did comment anyway before watching it all haha.
that is not how vac bans work lol
The grapple gun has been my favorite addition to the game.
all i want them to stop doing is giving specific dates on non-playtested mechanics, then we never get our hopes up!
So is this game still a no-go for solo players as it was since launch?
Maybe they gotta get drew to stop saying things until the updates are ready and they know exactly what’s gonna be in them
Getting some season 9 flashbacks here
We need the amount of players allowed in a server increased. I can't tell you how many games I've played where I've gone HOURS without finding more than 1 or 2 other players.
Not with these servers we don't. Imagine trying to perform any action even as simple as jumping from you ship to a dock or another ship, or trying to get their ladder and just whiffing it because the servers are crumbling further than they are now. Stability is something that should be paramount. Either that or they need to release a new game on their own servers.
Hit reg is reaching an all time high right now as well. The game needs help before they up the load on the servers
set reminder for this time in 6 months.

Reality is people are still going to complain because they are not going to fix the big issues, they aren't kidding anyone and neither are you.
