@@andyralph4666 Non Hostile NPC's and Events similar to PvE but EvE between Factions where you choose what faction to save or just become reaper and kill everything.
@@Siegpearl_of_Catarinathey already have non hostile NPCs. You sell your loot to them, buy cosmetics, or refill your tankard. Also, Reaper already exists to destroy everything. None of what you said is really game changing improvement. Another thing, you don't have to do the normal things. As this game is a sandbox game you can try to figure out how to accomplish your ridiculous ideas. It took me a number of tries before I figured out how to reliably get a rowboat into the tavern. I've also blown up islands, gotten ships stuck on purpose, jumped small islands with ships, and gotten to strange, wondrous heights. Some of the most fun, ridiculous things happen when you are just goofing around and something you weren't trying to do happens.
So far, my only complaint is only having 3 non emporium skins each for the knife and pistol, but they will probably add more midseason. Otherwise I like everything this adds to the sandbox. To all the PS players, see you on the waves.
I really think the scattershot (I prefer if its called grape shot) is going to be the go to for sloops against bigger ships. Its likely to be especially effective against Galleons
@@RockAndRowland the bigger crews will have access to them, but the sloop will be likely to make the most value out of them. There's a lot more to hit when you're aiming at a brig or galleon.
@@RockAndRowlandI have not played this season yet, currently updating my game, but the galleons will be a much bigger target and much easier to hit than a sloop and most scatter shots should in theory miss instead of hitting a sloop.
You should be able to slide loot down ziplines. I feel like that would make getting loot from those huge islands much better. Plus a convoy of loot sliding onto my ship seems so fun.
That stone curse being in the paid pass bugs me a lot, curses were supposed to be a cool unlockable thing for doing something significant in the game. Makes me super worried about the state of curses in the future, if the majority of players don't care and/or buy the plunder pass anyways.
I think it’s fine considering the community’s stance on specific cosmetics Example: Fire curse is considered a beginner cosmetic despite it looking dope. The sunken curse, is sick and respected because you know how much shit they had to do to get it A paid one, will just get no reaction, or even better, as a buyer of cosmetic (mostly to support when a season is good) I get consistently targeted by “whale killers” when my ship’s sails glow from affar If they do sell one (not like they didn’t have 2 skeleton costume in there already) I think it’s fine, people that want it, can even grind in game for Ancient Skeletons to buy it free, I’m at 2 full ship bought from that mechanic itself
@@bradleyjenkins2271 It's not fine cause regardless of community opinion on certain cosmetics, all curses up until this point were free. From the beginner type curses like Ashen curse, to in between stuff like Sunken curse or gold curse, all the way to hourglass curses like ghost, gold ghost, and skelly curse, they all were some sort of achievement for playing the game. The only thing you achieve with this curse is less money in your wallet, that curse now not only means nothing, but also further enables Rare to continue to add more and more curses to the emporium. Before you know it, the curses that will be up for real dollars will outweigh the curses you can get for free, as the emporium tends to do. That is the problem with this curse, it sets up yet another avenue for Rare to generate more money at the cost of curses losing their prestige, and more resources and cosmetics being dumped behind real money instead of for playing the game. (Also skelly costumes are not the same as the skeleton curse, you have zero customization options with those, unlike the hourglass skeleton curse)
I really dont think you can hate on the cosmetic aspect of the game, as this is all purely optional ways to support the devs. As long as there are no pay to win aspects I am happy.
Grape shots are rather strong. Ambushed a brig today, hit her with 3 grapes and she sunk in like 20secs. Tbf the ship was most likely captained by just 1 dude, but still, amazing
It would be cool if the skellies worked on your ship when you raise them for an emergency uses for a solo that would be a little bonus when going up against bigger targets
In a world where every company seems to be trying to nickel and dime you through season passes, we can sit back and appreciate how amazing No Man's Sky has been. Not only did the game do a complete 180 and end up keeping all of their promises, but they still have not monetized it beyond its original purchase. We're talking over 5 years of updates, seasonal stuff, just an incredible amount of content all included. It's a shame very few games show that kind of love and support for their community. SOT is definitely not among the best in this category.
How about DRG? Maybe not as many updates as other games, but free battle passes? Content updates, a new mission type coming, and BATTLE PASS SKINS GO INTO THE LOOT POOL. This is what companies should strive for
Everyone talking about weapons and gear Meanwhile I’m just excited to play quicker with the grapple, walking and sliding on it, is just gonna be a game changer for me, gonna try and maximize efficiency on every occasion
Haven’t played since the guilds update and seeing an update like this makes me very excited to play, especially now that I can play with my friends who have PlayStations
I think that most of the issues you mentioned about the downward traversal are true, but with the harpoon gun coming out in season 14, the traversal combinations will get a lot more dynamic with the ziplines on islands.
i wish they would make flamehearts hat and sword optainable ingame somehow for 2 reasons reason 1 being the pirate lords hat is earnable too sword well he dont got one as far as i know and the second reason being i missed the passes they was in thanks to rare
Scattershot is my favourite so far. Yesterday I took down a brigantine and galleon using scattershot. It didn't consume all of their planks but just seemed to overwhelm them.
I've found the Double-Barrel Pistol to be a nice middle ground between the power of the Blunderbuss and the versatility of the Pistol. I can see myself using it a lot going forward. The ability to walk on Harpoon ropes is a great traversal tool, but it does require some significant effort to keep your character from falling off. I guess that's how they balance the ability to open up impromptu shortcuts basically anywhere. The Scattershots do have a somewhat limited range, but also feel like they could shake up sea battles nicely. As Ray points out, this should help the smaller and more agile Sloops to counter the firepower of Galleons. All in all, a pretty solid update!
Glad to know the double barrel flintlock does enough damage to combo with a sword swipe for a KO. I solo sloop and like using sword plus the flintlock more, but the blunderbuss is so good for ladder guarding I have to use it as my gun. But with the double barrel, I can go back to flintlock!
I think you can but I believe you can use weapons while tightrope walking by jumping up and off and quickly firing a weapon and then interacting back onto the tightrope
I like the new weapons conceptually, but the db pistol has one big issue that I think a lot of players are having trouble with: the lack of auto-charge It's a similar idea to how if you hold the aim button while reloading, youll automatically aim after the reload As of now, if you hold the fire button after reloading, nothing happens It messes with the flow of combat, and makes it feel really clunky if youre not used to it. I hope they implement it sooner rather than later
I definitely get where you're coming from with the zip lines, but how would they explain going up a zip line like that? I know the games doesn't exactly follow the rules of physics, but that would be a little extreme
ive got to agree this update was amazing man omg but i wish they could add an option to cock the other barrel in the pistol but not fire to have at the ready. (i am an owl enjoyer and already have him in my bird cage)
Yeah, unfortunately you have to wait for the entire animation of pulling back both hammers to even get a chance at firing. If you only wait for the animation to pull the hammer on one barrel, the entire animation resets and you have to reload all over again.
I do wish they actually used the two new sword variations they seem to be making skins for, the rapier and the heavy sword. Like, giving them unique stats
I was really excited for the bone caller but then I found out it only lasted for a minute. I was kinda hoping it would be something like giving me a long lasting npc crew. Simply because I mostly play alone. I guess only my dog for company on the seas. This definitely makes pvp more interesting though. Which to be honest is what a lot of people want.
@@AShinyRay rip I haven’t had a chance to jump in but I was hoping it would add more variety to fights and give solos a better chance to get the killing board (or play water and get up) Hopefully something we need to just get more used to since it’s so new
they're legit dogshit. both new weapons are insanely clunky and unsatisfying to use, as well as just straight up useless. i was exited for throwing knives at first but their insane clunkyness and delay before being able to throw them absolutely ruins them for high levels of pvp. even without old quickswitch pistol snipe and pistol blunder are just the cleanest, most satisfying and skill-rewarding weapon combinations.
The next best thing that Rare can expand on is loosening the restrictions on PvE servers, or even perhaps expanding on it to be closer the full reward scale on high seas servers since it seems like the ques for PvE servers, even now, on PS5 take longer to get in than high seas servers. Avoiding the griefers and try hards in high seas is a huge plus to just dork around with buddies.
yeah creators can decide where to insert ads, thats why it happens just after jokes, or just before significant parts of the video, but won't happen randomly midway through a sentence
I'm wondering if they selected forgetable pirate legends rewards on purpose, thinking a lot of new players (PS5) wouldn't be able to become pirates legends in time.
The downside of ziplines is that there are only 9 islands that have them and they don't seem to exist on some of the worst islands to travel around. Also, there's only 1 in the shores of plenty and it's on a fort.
Maybe they skipped emissaries this time to add throwing knives and double barrel pistol skins next season for the companies, also you’ll be waiting forever for your favourite skin, as long as it’s not the ashen dragon skins because they’re most likely going to be in the next drop of skins for the weapons
I feel like we will get content more often now maybe as I think the ps5 version really made it difficult for them to do more with their limited team. I just think it explains it as they had to deal with a whole new version with its own bugs and also then the Xbox one and all I hope with the harpoon update we will eventually get customizable ones. I’d guess maybe when we get the grapple gun as the hook will be changed to fit the set. I think it would be cool and then the lanterns can be the normal lanterns. Also I hope we get the chest combined and presets as then the sloop can have more trinket space. Also I think each update we will get more and more of the new weapons. Also the scattershot is more so to balance out galleons and all as the wind horn takes away the sloops speed advantage against the wind and the scattershot is probably made to help make sloops have a fighting chance. Also a hook item for harpoon lines to put treasure on would be good as that lets you let items go down a zip line.
I don’t mind about the music box, I just don’t like that the level 100 reward is a pair of broken boots, yes they’re graymarrows but when we have got some amazing items from level 100 they kinda just ruin it, I would much rather they put it the other way around since the music box at least looks good
I really like the famous pirate set but I’m sort of upset because the serpent/medusa ship set seems very similar or even identical to last seasons also snake themed sets. Some bias since I don’t really like the super fantasy sets of the game, don’t feel very pirate like
I think the knives should do 5 more damage on all attacks, I thinks low for the “jab” is fair becuase you can cancel the other players attack, also the pistol I think even though week is fine becuase if you double shot then reload and do a single, it’s pretty close to a normal pistole just looks way more pirate, lastly even though the zip lines goin up would be… wired I think it’s needed becuase they are pretty dumb
Im content with pirate legend PP rewards referencing important NPCs or lore, but rare, why boots, and why is the right boot exposing my toes, these are bilge rat cosmetics. Now if the music box does actually play music it would be a step up
Everyone's gotta realize the rare devs are absoutely plugging at it to create the cosmetic skins for the double barrel pistol and knife cause it would be a waste not to, give it a few weeks or at least till the next mini updates through the season.
coming from a casual player here- i dont really care about the plunder pass or free version of it,i love to grind for the earnable cosmetics cus it shows my progress ya know? no hate just saying my thoughts on the pass. i love this update so far
Absolutely amazing update the only thing i wish they did was add a third weapon slot, but i understand why they didnt. Or at least if not a third weapon slot just make the throwing knives permanent to your belt. Idk lol just throwing ideas out there. Other then that the update was absolutely amszing and me and my crew are having an absolute blast also WELCOME PS5 PLAYERS!
@@XMoeiskingX "No block, no quick movement." You'd want a tiny knife to be able to block things. And have quick movement, thus rendering the sword useless as you'd want the knife to have quick movement, block, and throwable.
I know I am getting flak left and right for this comment but I stand by it. That horn is going to mess up the game. Give it a few days I can assure you it will be mandatory to have one at all times. You won't be able escape tryhards without one. Everything else is fine but that horn is going to cause issues because there is no defense against it. Cannon yourself over, harpoon down to the ship and then blow any players off of it. No more fighting, no more boarding. Just pure cheese. Its coming. Get ready for the salt. All the comments "it has charges", "its rare" blah blah blah, this is SoT players will find a way. Pretty much every session will be mandatory to start with a few shrines THEN I can go about my business. Its not fun being forced to do something just to enjoy the game. Everything else seems fine but I have been wary of that horn since it was announced.
@@nickloveman6451 i thought it was like an item like the ashen skull where you can get into a cannon with it? wouldnt that make boarding very difficult with it
@@nickloveman6451 Yeah, board with a treasure item. Real easy. Then simply hope the enemy never spawns below deck, where they can just force you into TDM.
Not happy with the fact that they already have versions in the emporium and they only have three in the game priorities. Rare you couldn't have one purse and set aside time to repaint a bunch of knives have the sets are recolors anyways
@@IdocarebutIdont Yeah that's the issue, since you have to be higher up than the rope to be able to stand on it. It'd be cool if you could walk below the harpoon-rope and zipline back to the ship, instead of having to find a way to get ontop of the rope.
Ngl, this update is great. BUT, (of course there's a but), the new weapons do not have a chance against literally any other weapon that's been in the game before. My guess is that these new weapons won't be used in about a month.
I am going to be honest.. This season didn't really do a lot for me personally. The bone caller is good, even great. Scattershot is fine.. the new weapons are a bit meh.. the throwing knife is cool, but sword still out shine it in every way. The double flint lock is barely good for pve.. and even worse for pvp. again.. this Season really didn't do a lot for me, nothing really new to do in the game, and the seas keeps feeling empty and dead. I am probably not going to play a lot in this season if I don't have friends. as the game still an big mess with a lot of problems. like trying to bucket water out of the ship, and the ship say ''Nuh uh'' and just tips itself forward or a bit to the side so you back splash.. getting stuck on stairs, not grabbing wheel when you press to grab.. cannon not reloading. honestly I think i might just have lost interest in the game, as ever session only feels boring or frustrating for me now a days. I Think I might wait until The Return of Flameheart in season 13 before really getting into the game again.
"Maybe they made season 12 underwhelming on purpose so they can blow us away with season 13 PL items" I don't wanna be mean but this sounds like copium :(
Rare making the stone curse’s emporium cosmetics rather than making some cool lore oriented commendations to earn them is insane, this isn’t looking good for future cosmetics, curses specifically
@@pyerack if youre fast youre fast, you need to have a high skill ceiling so your game doesnt become for braindead people, but braindead people give them more money so we are doomed also you kinda need to kill players faster than they can heal, if not you cant kill them, what you are saying is that we need to give them chance to heal? why? we are not babysitters they need to learn how to fight or run away effectively Also there are veterans who doesnt double gun and are on the same page as the doublegunners, the game already provides a lot of content and advantages to new players, so much so that they can become pirate legend without having to learn how to play. and veterans dont have anything to do that is not pvp, we have done everything, new things are just a reeskin of old stuff, no new mecanics to learn because "it would be too hard for the new players" and hard equals bad to this people for some reason but this update gave us a little something, something actually new, something that we asked for a long long time ago and they need to keep it up like that Of course they twisted it a bit so that pve players wouldn't complain but it is progress

I'm wondering if they selected forgetable pirate legends rewards on purpose, thinking a lot of new players (PS5) wouldn't be able to become pirates legends in time.
It would be cool if u could attach loot to ziplines, allowing you to easily move large amount of loot down from heights
Wait, the music box doesn't play music????
The plunder pass never ceases to have its ups and downs. I hope I am interested in using the ship set this season 12.
The downside of ziplines is that there are only 9 islands that have them and they don't seem to exist on some of the worst islands to travel around. Also, there's only 1 in the shores of plenty and it's on a fort.
i like what they have added this season but like what is there to work towards
Maybe they skipped emissaries this time to add throwing knives and double barrel pistol skins next season for the companies, also you’ll be waiting forever for your favourite skin, as long as it’s not the ashen dragon skins because they’re most likely going to be in the next drop of skins for the weapons
I feel like we will get content more often now maybe as I think the ps5 version really made it difficult for them to do more with their limited team. I just think it explains it as they had to deal with a whole new version with its own bugs and also then the Xbox one and all I hope with the harpoon update we will eventually get customizable ones. I’d guess maybe when we get the grapple gun as the hook will be changed to fit the set. I think it would be cool and then the lanterns can be the normal lanterns. Also I hope we get the chest combined and presets as then the sloop can have more trinket space. Also I think each update we will get more and more of the new weapons. Also the scattershot is more so to balance out galleons and all as the wind horn takes away the sloops speed advantage against the wind and the scattershot is probably made to help make sloops have a fighting chance. Also a hook item for harpoon lines to put treasure on would be good as that lets you let items go down a zip line.
1:54 Lodestar Throwing Knife??
I used the harpoon to sell at reaper today it made it much better
Since I originally saw the gold collector birds I always wanted a gold owl, now still having to wait grrr.
theres a bug on ps5 with the loading in so i have to relogin every time i go in the game
Great day when you post
Still waiting for Rare to add a rope that you can swing on in to other boat
I don’t mind about the music box, I just don’t like that the level 100 reward is a pair of broken boots, yes they’re graymarrows but when we have got some amazing items from level 100 they kinda just ruin it, I would much rather they put it the other way around since the music box at least looks good
I really like the famous pirate set but I’m sort of upset because the serpent/medusa ship set seems very similar or even identical to last seasons also snake themed sets. Some bias since I don’t really like the super fantasy sets of the game, don’t feel very pirate like
I think the knives should do 5 more damage on all attacks, I thinks low for the “jab” is fair becuase you can cancel the other players attack, also the pistol I think even though week is fine becuase if you double shot then reload and do a single, it’s pretty close to a normal pistole just looks way more pirate, lastly even though the zip lines goin up would be… wired I think it’s needed becuase they are pretty dumb
I've only played for an hour last night but man am I hooked.
Now that harpoons are so good now, they should add cosmetics to em.
Im content with pirate legend PP rewards referencing important NPCs or lore, but rare, why boots, and why is the right boot exposing my toes, these are bilge rat cosmetics.
Now if the music box does actually play music it would be a step up
Two years since the last new weapon? Which was that?
It’s true we get new stuff, but nothing new to do. Going to wait till season 13.
I would agree with you tho I'm still playing enough to complete the season pass
It’s almost as if they made this season dedicated to introducing ps5 into the world of SOT
I'm ok with that since the FoF is jumping, HG is better recently and we have new toys!
I understand and feel you dog but I got 3 ps5 swabbies to train that’s what’s gonna keep my game fresh.
When’s season 13 coming
They should add a bounty system and the ability to make your own treasure maps and bury your own loot
Everyone's gotta realize the rare devs are absoutely plugging at it to create the cosmetic skins for the double barrel pistol and knife cause it would be a waste not to, give it a few weeks or at least till the next mini updates through the season.
I bet you we won't get new ones until Season 13 at the earliest
coming from a casual player here- i dont really care about the plunder pass or free version of it,i love to grind for the earnable cosmetics cus it shows my progress ya know? no hate just saying my thoughts on the pass. i love this update so far
I really wish for a Sniper Rifle on the back cosmetic, there is an NPC that has a Rifle on the back. Why can't we have it too?
Absolutely amazing update the only thing i wish they did was add a third weapon slot, but i understand why they didnt. Or at least if not a third weapon slot just make the throwing knives permanent to your belt. Idk lol just throwing ideas out there. Other then that the update was absolutely amszing and me and my crew are having an absolute blast also WELCOME PS5 PLAYERS!
Curses should always be earned through grinding or skill only as putting them in the emporium just devalues the idea of a curse.
If ziplines worked like they do in THE FINALS it would be so cool
At 1:49, if you are going to talk about the sound, then please give a demo next time.
Odd side note, why not add skins for the new weapons in the emissary ledgers? Missed opportunity.
I mostly solo sloop/pve, but I was wondering how much damage the overhand stab does on skeley’s and other pve enemies?
That’s also my question, as I feel they are more suited for PvE than PvP
It kills skellies in one shot
@@AShinyRay ok, that’ll do.
@@AShinyRay thanks for the info!
Rare is great but they need manpower to further strengthen their game. We need more cosmetics and stuff (and maybe a couple more gameplay updates).
Wish the knife had a "Lunge". was hoping that would be a universal melee feature
If it has the lunge the sword wouldn't have any unique feature going for it other than blocking
@@yousefmerchak532 knife is trash atm. Can’t run. Slow to switch to throw. No block no quick movement. Absolutely unbalanced.
@@XMoeiskingX So you'd basically render the sword useless. Would that be more balanced?
@@chrisidoo how is trading 12.5/70 for 25/60 useless?
@@XMoeiskingX "No block, no quick movement."
You'd want a tiny knife to be able to block things. And have quick movement, thus rendering the sword useless as you'd want the knife to have quick movement, block, and throwable.
I know I am getting flak left and right for this comment but I stand by it. That horn is going to mess up the game. Give it a few days I can assure you it will be mandatory to have one at all times. You won't be able escape tryhards without one. Everything else is fine but that horn is going to cause issues because there is no defense against it. Cannon yourself over, harpoon down to the ship and then blow any players off of it. No more fighting, no more boarding. Just pure cheese. Its coming. Get ready for the salt. All the comments "it has charges", "its rare" blah blah blah, this is SoT players will find a way. Pretty much every session will be mandatory to start with a few shrines THEN I can go about my business. Its not fun being forced to do something just to enjoy the game. Everything else seems fine but I have been wary of that horn since it was announced.
From what I understand, it just maxes your sail speed. If you're already going downwind, then it does nothing.
@@kabobawsomeyou missed the whole part about abusing it in PvP. Hit a few shots, board, then once they’re off they can’t get back on. Cheese
@@nickloveman6451 i thought it was like an item like the ashen skull where you can get into a cannon with it? wouldnt that make boarding very difficult with it
@@Ultimate_Change you cannon over to harpoon the horn across
@@nickloveman6451 Yeah, board with a treasure item. Real easy. Then simply hope the enemy never spawns below deck, where they can just force you into TDM.
You know this guy is a sea of thieves partner so he just says things are good
This is cool but we definitely need more knife and double barrel cosmetics
Very worried we’re going to end up with a 6 month season leading up to Flameheart
This season ends in 12 weeks according to the clock! Fingers 🤞
They shouldve gave us knife and db pistol skins for the fates of fortune commendations
Is it just me or have I not run into any gamebreaking bugs this update? Or really anything unusual?
Not happy with the fact that they already have versions in the emporium and they only have three in the game priorities. Rare you couldn't have one purse and set aside time to repaint a bunch of knives have the sets are recolors anyways
"Blow other players" 💀
im sorry but theres no way they couldnt compose a quick 10 second tune for a music box
They even have music boxes in game already
@@AShinyRay might as well have reskinned those and put them in trinket spots 🤣
I wish we could've used our own harpoon-rope as ziplines too, and just be forced to let go near the ship.
That's what the harpune does.. Just that you are standing instead of hanging on it.
@@IdocarebutIdont Yeah that's the issue, since you have to be higher up than the rope to be able to stand on it. It'd be cool if you could walk below the harpoon-rope and zipline back to the ship, instead of having to find a way to get ontop of the rope.
amazing how we can't access 80% of the guild's ships still...
Im very sure that Rare added such low level cosmetics because of the launch on PS5 and all the newbies coming from that direction
New PlayStation player here. I’m seeing mixed reviews if SOT is a good game or not…idk whether to get it or not
it is good, though idk why you'd ask in the comment section of a sea of thieves video, we're all gonna be somewhat biased.
Is the thrown knife a 2 shot?
It is!
@@AShinyRaypistol>knife throw kill confirm may be viable? I’m excited to run knives in hg
@@lapizcata6930 depends. Both have slow projectiles so can he hard for the server to register the hits
Ngl, this update is great. BUT, (of course there's a but), the new weapons do not have a chance against literally any other weapon that's been in the game before. My guess is that these new weapons won't be used in about a month.
3:42 💀
even with the occasional bug it's not often I can say an update is an awesome time on the day of the patch. Season 12 rules
Music box… doesn’t… play music..?
I am going to be honest.. This season didn't really do a lot for me personally.
The bone caller is good, even great. Scattershot is fine.. the new weapons are a bit meh.. the throwing knife is cool, but sword still out shine it in every way. The double flint lock is barely good for pve.. and even worse for pvp.
again.. this Season really didn't do a lot for me, nothing really new to do in the game, and the seas keeps feeling empty and dead.
I am probably not going to play a lot in this season if I don't have friends. as the game still an big mess with a lot of problems. like trying to bucket water out of the ship, and the ship say ''Nuh uh'' and just tips itself forward or a bit to the side so you back splash.. getting stuck on stairs, not grabbing wheel when you press to grab.. cannon not reloading.
honestly I think i might just have lost interest in the game, as ever session only feels boring or frustrating for me now a days.
I Think I might wait until The Return of Flameheart in season 13 before really getting into the game again.
Maybe they made season 12 underwhelming on purpose so they can blow us away with season 13 PL items (flameheart jacket or servant jacket maybe?)
I'll eat my hate (through tears of joy!)
"Maybe they made season 12 underwhelming on purpose so they can blow us away with season 13 PL items"
I don't wanna be mean but this sounds like copium :(
tbf by season 13 or 14 a lot of ps5 players will be pl so there would be more incentive to add good stuff for them
all 10 owl enjoyiers, why you gotta do us like that lol ;-;
Nice I’m excited
12 seasons in
Still no cosmetic nor weapon presets for your pirate....
There is no way it's THAT hard to implement...
Rare making the stone curse’s emporium cosmetics rather than making some cool lore oriented commendations to earn them is insane, this isn’t looking good for future cosmetics, curses specifically
That's the concern. Will it be a curse each Season? If not, people will complain due to how good this one was...
Crazy what Rare can do when they actually ADD new content to the game.
They need to listen to the fun players and veterans, not the safer seas ones
@@vialgabravo159 You mean those players that use the same exact two guns to kill players faster than they can heal? Miss me with that shit.
@@pyerack if youre fast youre fast, you need to have a high skill ceiling so your game doesnt become for braindead people, but braindead people give them more money so we are doomed
also you kinda need to kill players faster than they can heal, if not you cant kill them, what you are saying is that we need to give them chance to heal? why? we are not babysitters they need to learn how to fight or run away effectively
Also there are veterans who doesnt double gun and are on the same page as the doublegunners, the game already provides a lot of content and advantages to new players, so much so that they can become pirate legend without having to learn how to play.
and veterans dont have anything to do that is not pvp, we have done everything, new things are just a reeskin of old stuff, no new mecanics to learn because "it would be too hard for the new players" and hard equals bad to this people for some reason
but this update gave us a little something, something actually new, something that we asked for a long long time ago and they need to keep it up like that
Of course they twisted it a bit so that pve players wouldn't complain but it is progress
