I’m pretty bad at this game, I don’t think I’ve ever sunk an opponent ship (whatever). I don’t tend to run, but no one fuggin communicates in this game. I definitely was never given any sort of new player grace as is in the pirate guidelines. All this in consideration; I can only see myself playing safer seas to complete tall tales.
I think rare has a little more in store for season 10 than they let on but its i think that the main thing that needs to happen is that season 10 can NOT last more than 4 months
I'm so hype for safer seas. The worst part about this game for me has always been other players. The few 'wins' from outsmarting or beating others after my treasure never made up for the feelings of hours wasted from one loss, or god forbid the ones not even after treasure, just want to make your life miserable. I never flame in chat, but as I have a job, I don't get much playtime... And when I tried to rope my little sister in to play with me, the other players were so much worse. Like she loved fighting skeleton ships and the Meg, and finding treasure maps. She didn't want to play after dealing with Reapers who'd attack you even if you had nothing. FINALLY I can play this game again. December can't come soon enough.
@rutgr3696 A lot of the time we didn't even have anything to steal, just people wanting to greif. And there are a lot of reasons people might want to play a pirate game, as evidence by all the single player pirate games out there. If it helps, we indeed do not play this game anymore lol
When your friends all work differing schedules it can be kinda frustrating when you are an hour into a red skull raid only to be wiped off the map by some randos who didn’t put in any of the work. No more, my friends and I can pirate in peace 😊
Dude we do go after randos when we have time. We’ll distract them with our big ship while another friend goes with the rowboat filled with them explosive barrels and lights them up or alternatively I will jump ont heir ship from the mast with a gunpowder barre and shout “mad memaw” as I set it off. Doesn’t always work but dang have we gotten some good loot because of it.
guild battles like arena servers but somehow tied to the hourglass battles would be cool. basically queuing a 2v2 ship battle or similar. Imagine a Deathmatch with two teams, A flagship galleon, brig and two sloops for support. Full Armada battles.
I find it hilarious that people are getting upset about safer seas and the level cap. What does someone else being level 40 in all factions do or affect you as a player? All they will get is gold at the 30% normal rate and gold only unlocks cosmetics. Let those who want to play and enjoy a slower pace and no PVP do their thing in safer seas, just means fewer people complaining that all they wanted to do was experience the tall tails but had to restart each mission multiple times cause their ship was sunk by grifters. The fact is they are locked off from pirate lord and endgame content and with them gone from the normal server we will have all those who want PVP in one area and no more running away or chasing for hours on end.
It affects them, because people who don't want pvp and the "exciting" encounters with other players are having fun the wrong way. And that's the fallacy here: They take what they like about the game and assume everyone likes that. Other perspectives simply can't prevail, because it would "dilute" what they think the "pure essence" of the game is.
The beauty of sea of thieves is that you run into people of all skill levels and with all sorts of intentions. If all new players and friendly pve players are hiding on safer seas until they reach level 40 (which is higher than most people ever get to) then high seas will turn into a toxic sweaty arena. In turn this will make it even harder for new players to join the high seas and the game will just die off
@@KekusMagnus Honestly, my experience to this day is exactly that: quite a toxic and sweaty place. I remember encounters where communication was key. My last ten encounters with other players boiled down to three crews blasting slurs or neonazi-music through their mics, four crews just firing as soon as in range and three ships which turned 180° instantly. It may be bad luck for me, sure, but I can just argue on the base of my experiences. And they were pretty "meh" nowadays.
If the fear is that others will play Safer Seas to enjoy the game and escape the toxic players making the High Seas have a higher toxic player encounter rate then the issue is the toxic players, not the PVE players. If people do go to Safer Seas and High Seas Suffer to the point those toxic players leave then the High Seas will be better for those who leave Safer Seas to enjoy friendly PVP. (I know not all PVP players now are toxic, I myself enjoy a fair and friendly fight refusing to hit unmanned ships or bully new players.) @@KekusMagnus
The irony is that the people who will play safer seas are probably the newer players that within the games guidelines aren’t supposed to be sunk and stomped anyway.
I believe most people are overreacting on safer seas. For starters, 40 as a cap i believe is perfect. If someone is willing to grind 1-40 in safer sea 100% deserve that lv 40. Lets make a scenario. It takes 300 gold for one lv and one chest gives you 100 gold. Now without emissary it will take you 3 chest to get one lv. 2 with emissary and 1 if sold at the right time. For some one on safer seas they'll allways have to sell 10 chest to get to the next lv. Also remember it takes more every lv to get up, in turn it will take even more for someone on safer seas to get higher then someone on high seas. Second, when it comes to com agiqn if you grind to open 100 vualts then you deserve the sail that come with it. Plus most people who play the game run cosmetics are frim Athena reaper pvp based or pirate emporium. Besides one you xant get in safer seas. I believe if someone is willing to grind and just have fun it shouldn't matter if its in safer seas or not. I personally would only add one thing to safer seas and that is to Captain are own ships. Again frim com, if people are willing to grind for captain cosmetics they shouls regardless on seas. Maybe cap it at 40 there too. As for splitting the community it wont unless the community does it itself.
honestly yea, i can't believe people are getting mad over this. this community has been so toxic ever since i got back into it ( i mean within 2 days i got called slurs, got sent racist messages, and had people fight me when i loaded into the game) . let people enjoy the game, i want to explore the seas and get to know the world without having to look over my shoulder for a pvp sweat lord or a cheater. i'm already pirate legend, but i feel like i haven't even seen half of the game.
For the skull slowing you down, why not just wait and unlock the chest when at an outpost? Edit: don’t let rare convince you that safer seas didn’t just hand new players a HUGE grind. Even hitting level 40 with no emissary flags and reduced XP is rough.
i heard someone say that Mike chapman announced on twitter that the skull could only be sold at a specific outpost each time so u have to open the chest to find out where to take it. however i couldnt find that post to confirm so take with a huge grain of salt
I think they will do reputation prestige. Rewards start in hourglass at level 100 it’s possible that they will increase the trading company reputation cap to 100 and make it a prestige system. I’d love to have a reason to grind reputation again having been maxed out on all factions for nearly 2 years
If "Safe Seas" avoids being lame and just embraces the original SoT which was a simple set of 'moves' and excellent physics, it would be a great place to draw new players, like a training yet live instance. Once the basics are comfortable, the adventurous could join...um...well..Adventure mode. The full mode is so varied and expanded, its befuddles new players to a point of avoiding those 'adventures'. Concurring an advanced quest to get a flame-thrower skull (unbalanced weapon) is too similar to Pay for Play and the One-Hit-Rocket Launcher of other anti-noob venues
I hear a lot of people say they quit sea of thieves because of the pvp and harassment by other players. Also they could reduce the number of servers for high seas so more people can compete with less servers more will meet and with safer seas the pve fans will have no problems. I play mostly pve when I play but I sometimes do pvp.also pve players will have the option to play pvp anytime so it's still good
They made it so bad to use for grinding that you’re highly encouraged and likely to go to high seas because that’s where the high rewards are. High risk high reward No risk little reward.
Why are people saying high seas will be more dead for PVP? There are only 6 boats per server so you can only interact with 5 others no matter what. How many servers there are means nothing because you only come across who is on your current one. All this does is make sure the people you do come across want to fight instead of grind skelly captains or fish.
Honestly, this made me roll my eyes. I don't understand the notion of "yeah, High Seas will be a lot more dead". Will it, though? Who will be playing Safer Seas mainly? People who just want to have a chill time. You all won't lose a single PvP-Player due to Safer Seas. The only people "losing" here are sweaty "iTs NoT SEa oF fRiEnDS"-guys who like to take a dump on PvE-players who aren't good (or willing, which is equally legitimate!) at fighting other players. Sea of Thieves lost a lot of its magic for me. Most of the times, when I encounter other players, they behave in a "shoot first, don't ask questions ever" sort of way. I'm here for the adventure, for creating my adventures. When I want to "git gud" and play competetive, I play CS, CoD or whatnot.
I would pretty much agree with this. Most of the SoT TH-camrs seem to say "the servers are already dead" which doesn't really make any sense, considering there's only 6 max crews in a server and thousands of players at any given moment. How can they be dead if they constantly migrate and merge players into servers to keep them full?
Your comment is also my point as well man. When I log into the Seas, I barely have enough patience to look out for the sweatiest Chads kamikazing themselves into my ship. I just wanna to sail around doing lost shipments without having to worry about a guy who hasn't been outside his basement in 36 hours coming along and sink me.
The only people who really don’t like Safer Seas are the same people who play Madden on rookie difficulty to win 136-0. They don’t want to challenge themselves. You take the minnows from the pool and suddenly there are 6 crews who actually want to fight on their server, which means someone might actually sink them.
i understand but at that point its not even sea of theives anymore the threat of sinking is what makes the game what it is. i dont understand how its fun to have no chance of sinkning at all times. And tbh its not like the man to man pvp is difficult. @@captainred22449
I think the pve servers won’t be awful because if it brings back players, rare might start giving us good content again. I don’t get how people try to hype up season 10 4 people who don’t want play pve servers. All we get is guilds, so just more progression and no content, and a voyage that isn’t new, just old stuff put together it’s not actually content
I'm relatively new to Sea of Thieves and got it during a recent sale. After experiencing it, I absolutely enjoy the current High Seas mode where there's a risk of loot and pirates. However, Sea of Thieves has been lingering on my Wishlist for a few years, with previous preliminary hesitations being not too keen on the PVP aspect of the game after google searching "Does sea of thieves have a PVE server". This is due to not fully understanding that PVP in current Sea of Thieves is very minimal and the fun and thrilling part is the risk factor, more that the quantity of PVP battles happening. Safe Seas will definitely boost the amount of new players playing, and hopefully after trying safe seas, they will organically transition to High Seas in due time because it's just simply way more fun!
@Mars-jl9su I can actually agree with that. 'Tis the consequence of making the PvP such a core aspect of the game. SoT does it better than most games, but still shares the same issue as all "Always On" PvP games: People leave and won't comeback because no one wants to deal with that. That's not their own fault, it's just how it is. I'm willing to bet once Rare notices the PvE servers drastically out populate the PvP ones, they will start to change things to cater to them. Or make a sequel with a PvE focus or something lol. Full loot PvP is simply too niche an audience to cater too.
Please provide some advice on how to have a mindset to not be afraid when playing SOT. I am really trying man. But my hands get cold and I cannot enjoy the game because of the looming threat of a galley far far away.
Man i was chasing a kid that had skelly curse and only had only 1 captain chest 1 fcking chest he probably got the curse be some glitch because the only thing he knew to press w and right click with a sword i imagine the same kid running with the key for 2hours
I would have capped it at 30, but getting to level 40 with no emissary and 30% rate of progression is going to take a long time so I don't think it matters all that much.
i think the safer seas would be like 10x better if they allowed you to do any voyage or event that youve already unlocked, but completely disabled money and rep earnings. i think it should be like a testing ground, where you can try voyages in a safer environment, test out methods to complete them faster, or simply relax and do some safe voyages when you just want to chill and don’t really care about earning stuff. it would also be cool if they added some debug options, so you can enable certain world events, spawn in skeleton ships, etc
@@spookybreeze1796 what i described there is exactly what i’ve wanted since like season 4 or something, which is why i’m so excited for this update, but it’s not quite there
@@premare5934 difference between for fun and to relax, like i’d want to do something like that if im in a call and just want to talk for a few hours. i also find it weirdly satisfying completing stuff like that
I don’t think this game is even close to dead yet, sure there are many thing they could have done better and many things they need to do. But this game still has over 1 billion players. Myself included.
1st off guilds is awesome i want it 2nd how will you know when the event starts music cue? 3rd safer seas is great as tall tales and adventures are here to stay no more hunters cry also i agree lv 40 is fine as it will take new player ages to get lv 40 in safer seas with 30% and no emmisary
I don’t see anything wrong with the level cap. Levels don’t really mean anything in the game, at least not when it comes to matchmaking anyway. Also, how long is it even going to take to grind to level 40 with a 30% cap and no emissaries? Sure it might take 20 hrs to get to 50 based on your scenario but it’ll take much longer to get to 40 in safer seas in the first place. Yes, on paper, someone could get to 40 in safer seas then do a bunch of FOTD to hit 50 quickly but I’m willing to bet that If someone spends all that time grinding in safer seas, they won’t even know what FOTD is…
Honestly I think level 40 isn’t the worst. The grind from 40-50 is about as long as 0-30 or 0-35, and since everything is capped at 30% experience and gold it would take FOREVER to get to 40. I think most people would almost never stay in safer seas until the level 40 cap because high seas is just SO much more lucrative, especially past level 25.
Tbh I’ve always used a sword and wanted to switch it up a little by double gunning for the first time. Guess what? I dominated. I like the choice to use which ever loadout you want but right know sniper/blunder is way to overpowered
Yeah capping the safer seas is a horrible choice, they should have just buffed the payouts on the normal seas and kept everything normal on the safe seas, otherwise it's not worth my time doing it for only 30 percent, people should be able to play it freely and fully progress
Yeah ikr. It’s like when ur parents text u “hey we got a new dog, it will be here when you get home”, and it’s just a dog plush. Obviously super specific but its true
there nothing wrong with seasons 10 just bunch of newbies or noobs are playing safer sea but THEY CANT PLAY NEXT LEVEL EVENTS THEY HAVE TO JOIN DANGEROUS SEA
It should be capped at reputation 25 and if you get a certain amount of gold then you can’t earn gold anymore so it’s just for videos and experimentation.
Rare is only optimizing for the new player cuz their is also a change comming in season 10 that is under NDA still... But it will REALLY lower the skill gap and make even more old players quit.
Real talk, I'm garbage at TDM and I'll never be as good as these sweat lords who never touch grass.. I'll never get to enjoy this pvp voyage and be compedative so I guess people like me will be leaving the game sooner than later. Clearlerly neither the player base or the developers want casual players to play anymore.
I feel like the level cap is fine since rep and gold is earned at -70% the normal rate. There’s no pirate legend and no pvp modes/pirate legend/player started world events. So no fotd, fof, hourglass, pirate legend, etc
I’ve described safer seas as a glorified maiden voyage because all it is good for is teaching brand new players how to play sea of thieves. Yes they won’t learn strategies or being aware of their surroundings but that’s our job if they join our crew you can’t expect newbs to know everything off the get go and you have to work with them to make the game enjoyable for both parties involved.
@@DeadEyes63 fair, plus most people are probably only going to use it for tall tales, commendations, and fishing instead of actually trying to get levels and money
I agree, but sea of thieves is not dead. A game is only truly dead when the hardcore player base stop playing. The game is dying but it’s hard to see Sea of thieves ever completely being dead. And after witnessing the spikes of players after community week; Sea of Thieves has lots of potential for sure.
I believe that the only 2 people angry in anyway to safer seas are: 1) because the devs said no pve servers ever (the safer seas does not seem to be an offline mode which defeats the purpose imo) 2) guys who are upset that they cant just invalidate the purchase of the game. Lets be real here, anybody moving to safer sea are also the ones beforehand uninstalling the game and scaremongering people to not play sea of thieves causing the community to be way more toxic and smaller that it should have been. If they no longer think they are getting scammed then sea of theives will look more enticing overall.
You are just in a burnout state with the game, IMO. It's ok to fell tired because you feel the game is in a boring state, and I saw that also in your videos. If you like the game and pvp in general, the siren skull is a good thing for you, and also pve servers, because now a lot of casuals will just go there, and only decent players who love pvp will stay in high seas, so that's a win for everyone. If pvp people are still complaining about safer seas, it's just because now it will be harder to steal stuff and they are scared of sinking on stream. That's it.

However, Sea of Thieves has been lingering on my Wishlist for a few years, with previous preliminary hesitations being not too keen on the PVP aspect of the game after google searching "Does sea of thieves have a PVE server". This is due to not fully understanding that PVP in current Sea of Thieves is very minimal and the fun and thrilling part is the risk factor, more that the quantity of PVP battles happening. Safe Seas will definitely boost the amount of new players playing, and hopefully after trying safe seas, they will organically transition to High Seas in due time because it's just simply way more fun!
Problem is they'll get comfortable with safer seas, then the moment they launch high seas they'll be absolutely destroyed by players then uninstall
@Mars-jl9su I can actually agree with that. 'Tis the consequence of making the PvP such a core aspect of the game. SoT does it better than most games, but still shares the same issue as all "Always On" PvP games: People leave and won't comeback because no one wants to deal with that. That's not their own fault, it's just how it is.
I'm willing to bet once Rare notices the PvE servers drastically out populate the PvP ones, they will start to change things to cater to them. Or make a sequel with a PvE focus or something lol.
Full loot PvP is simply too niche an audience to cater too.
Please provide some advice on how to have a mindset to not be afraid when playing SOT. I am really trying man. But my hands get cold and I cannot enjoy the game because of the looming threat of a galley far far away.
you just have to not care about loot and only play for fun
@@premare5934 makes sense. I can see that I put bit too much worry into losing loot. Thanks will try that.
I think they're thinking December is a good time for safer C's because that's probably when your highest point of you players are jumping in a game.
honestly 2 guilds doing it area style would be fun to watch
Man i was chasing a kid that had skelly curse and only had only 1 captain chest 1 fcking chest he probably got the curse be some glitch because the only thing he knew to press w and right click with a sword i imagine the same kid running with the key for 2hours
I think the best strategy might be to drop the chest or key and let the other crew get it and catch them while they're slow
What you mean? You think you that those items make them slow? No. Its the skull that is inside
@@danielgomessilva8966 ye I know
@@danielgomessilva8966 was talking about taking the skull from them and if u can't then I guess u never had a chance anyway
Well then say that. Dont say "drop the CHEST or KEY" what a waist of my time
@@danielgomessilva8966 well u have to, to get them with the skull and then u can steal it thts only if u can eve, get the key or chest
I would have capped it at 30, but getting to level 40 with no emissary and 30% rate of progression is going to take a long time so I don't think it matters all that much.
It takes 4 hours currently to get to pirate legend without emissary flags or a captained ship
@@ninjaskitchesno it dont bruh
@@ninjaskitchesim not supporting PvE servers but for a new player it will take longer than 4h
@@ninjaskitches Make a video and prove it.
24:21 that would be an Arena 2.0 and pop up plunder for 1 week every month
Well december may not benefit you, but it will help me return to the game rather than not playing it at all
Fr got a whole friend group who will be willing to play it again with this update
i think the safer seas would be like 10x better if they allowed you to do any voyage or event that youve already unlocked, but completely disabled money and rep earnings. i think it should be like a testing ground, where you can try voyages in a safer environment, test out methods to complete them faster, or simply relax and do some safe voyages when you just want to chill and don’t really care about earning stuff. it would also be cool if they added some debug options, so you can enable certain world events, spawn in skeleton ships, etc
yes EXACTLY this would be literally perfect.
@@spookybreeze1796 what i described there is exactly what i’ve wanted since like season 4 or something, which is why i’m so excited for this update, but it’s not quite there
Nah I wanna get money from it with friends
your a madman if your doing voyages for fun lmao
@@premare5934 difference between for fun and to relax, like i’d want to do something like that if im in a call and just want to talk for a few hours. i also find it weirdly satisfying completing stuff like that
I wonder if we will see guild wars where versing guilds can all get together and just battle it out at once
Nah severs can't handle it even being around 3 or 4 galleons cause the severs to die
nah thats pvp and rare doesnt like pvp
The safer seas level cap should be 25 not 40.
I don’t think this game is even close to dead yet, sure there are many thing they could have done better and many things they need to do. But this game still has over 1 billion players. Myself included.
Either they lower the max in safer seas to 25 or make pl 75
or they completely disable money/rep earnings in the safer seas and enable all voyages you have unlocked.
i would trade all of it if the only thing season 10 had was fixed hitreg
1st off guilds is awesome i want it 2nd how will you know when the event starts music cue? 3rd safer seas is great as tall tales and adventures are here to stay no more hunters cry also i agree lv 40 is fine as it will take new player ages to get lv 40 in safer seas with 30% and no emmisary
I wonder if you have the skull on a rowboat it still slows your ship? 🤔 or on the harpoon etc
It still slows it
If it's 30% Rep it will take longer to get to 40 I can see people getting to 25 and get frustrated and just start to use High Seas
hopefully lol but rep should just be fully disabled in safer seas
I don’t see anything wrong with the level cap. Levels don’t really mean anything in the game, at least not when it comes to matchmaking anyway. Also, how long is it even going to take to grind to level 40 with a 30% cap and no emissaries? Sure it might take 20 hrs to get to 50 based on your scenario but it’ll take much longer to get to 40 in safer seas in the first place.
Yes, on paper, someone could get to 40 in safer seas then do a bunch of FOTD to hit 50 quickly but I’m willing to bet that If someone spends all that time grinding in safer seas, they won’t even know what FOTD is…
Ships aren't going to slowdown. Cause crews are going to keep them separate until turn in
U won’t know the sell point until u have the skull
@@captaingomez849this ^
@captaingomez849 I guess that would make sense I just assumed it would be any outpost
@@avi8tor131you have to take the skull to briggsy she will be on a random island
I havent played in over a year but let me guess....they still haven't fixed hit reg?
It got even worse actually
@@weirdnightowl5077 can't say I'm surprised. Sad to see a game with such potential get wasted due to pandering.
For someone that just buys this game for the first time they are probably thankful its not packed with high experienced players.
Honestly I think level 40 isn’t the worst. The grind from 40-50 is about as long as 0-30 or 0-35, and since everything is capped at 30% experience and gold it would take FOREVER to get to 40. I think most people would almost never stay in safer seas until the level 40 cap because high seas is just SO much more lucrative, especially past level 25.
This is the end. Removing quick-swapping will make every good player quit. Bye bye Rare
Tbh I’ve always used a sword and wanted to switch it up a little by double gunning for the first time. Guess what? I dominated. I like the choice to use which ever loadout you want but right know sniper/blunder is way to overpowered
Yeah capping the safer seas is a horrible choice, they should have just buffed the payouts on the normal seas and kept everything normal on the safe seas, otherwise it's not worth my time doing it for only 30 percent, people should be able to play it freely and fully progress
Yeah level cap is wayyy too high (should be 20-25), also should be a gold cap of around 250k gold, as well as no commendation progression🤝
And they should allow multiple boats with even lower progresion so the comp comunity can host games if arena and TDM games in the PvE servers
Exactly
I just want them to fix some bugs.
"A super season" these guys are so cringe
Yeah ikr. It’s like when ur parents text u “hey we got a new dog, it will be here when you get home”, and it’s just a dog plush. Obviously super specific but its true
17:25 Considering how myself, my crew and my opponents have conversed, I do not want my family anywhere near this game
The funny issue with guilds is you wont be playing with your guild members unless you get together on the same ship lol kinda stupid really.
Smooth brain take when you don't do the math of how long it would take to get to 40 with no emissary stack lol.
i did indeed forget this 😭
there nothing wrong with seasons 10 just bunch of newbies or noobs are playing safer sea but THEY CANT PLAY NEXT LEVEL EVENTS THEY HAVE TO JOIN DANGEROUS SEA
It should be capped at reputation 25 and if you get a certain amount of gold then you can’t earn gold anymore so it’s just for videos and experimentation.
no guild wars :((
Rare is only optimizing for the new player cuz their is also a change comming in season 10 that is under NDA still...
But it will REALLY lower the skill gap and make even more old players quit.
yea itll ruin tdming to
@@premare5934 lantern swap on top boi
@@premare5934yep
Real talk, I'm garbage at TDM and I'll never be as good as these sweat lords who never touch grass.. I'll never get to enjoy this pvp voyage and be compedative so I guess people like me will be leaving the game sooner than later. Clearlerly neither the player base or the developers want casual players to play anymore.
I feel like safer seas is one of those features that just needs some changes like lower level cap and seasonal renown being at a lesser rate
I feel like the level cap is fine since rep and gold is earned at -70% the normal rate. There’s no pirate legend and no pvp modes/pirate legend/player started world events. So no fotd, fof, hourglass, pirate legend, etc
I’ve described safer seas as a glorified maiden voyage because all it is good for is teaching brand new players how to play sea of thieves. Yes they won’t learn strategies or being aware of their surroundings but that’s our job if they join our crew you can’t expect newbs to know everything off the get go and you have to work with them to make the game enjoyable for both parties involved.
@@DeadEyes63 fair, plus most people are probably only going to use it for tall tales, commendations, and fishing instead of actually trying to get levels and money
So people hating new players safe mode
I just wish you could host custom PvP events like LBH and TDMs in safer seas, then you could skip the hours it takes to get multiple boats
idk if tdming will be around for much longer after season 10 launches cough cough no more quick swapping
@@premare5934 sword TDM on top baby!!!! 😬💀😤😔
I agree, but sea of thieves is not dead. A game is only truly dead when the hardcore player base stop playing. The game is dying but it’s hard to see Sea of thieves ever completely being dead. And after witnessing the spikes of players after community week; Sea of Thieves has lots of potential for sure.
they have safer seas, now give me arena back please
wtf is a custom server
I believe that the only 2 people angry in anyway to safer seas are:
1) because the devs said no pve servers ever (the safer seas does not seem to be an offline mode which defeats the purpose imo)
2) guys who are upset that they cant just invalidate the purchase of the game. Lets be real here, anybody moving to safer sea are also the ones beforehand uninstalling the game and scaremongering people to not play sea of thieves causing the community to be way more toxic and smaller that it should have been. If they no longer think they are getting scammed then sea of theives will look more enticing overall.
When u gonna do face reveal
its going to be a dead sea with safer seas...
Dude the pvp is being killed in this game
L take.
good video but bad season.
Ye at least so far
Hi
Needs pve only the combat is shit and i have no interest in it plenty of pvp games
You are just in a burnout state with the game, IMO. It's ok to fell tired because you feel the game is in a boring state, and I saw that also in your videos. If you like the game and pvp in general, the siren skull is a good thing for you, and also pve servers, because now a lot of casuals will just go there, and only decent players who love pvp will stay in high seas, so that's a win for everyone. If pvp people are still complaining about safer seas, it's just because now it will be harder to steal stuff and they are scared of sinking on stream. That's it.
first XD
I dont think you deserve my subscription
