@thespectaculartravo people tend to pretty nasty when they write something related to whats making them mad. More often then not people tend to talk shit to the devs when writing these things.
@@kyototomokui6676 Considering that our efforts to talk to the devs concerning bad content or bugs were ignored for a large majority of the time there, yeah... We didn't care anymore.
We do report bugs in insider. They just i gore everything we say in the forums. To the point where most of us dont even bother giving feedback anymore. Also glitch hunters find them and dont mention them just so they can have day 1 glirch videos for their youtube channels.
Thats great. This happens in all industries by the way. Middle management can't be bothered and and yet its all the entry level workers fault. Nothings gets fixed and the product suffers.
Rare themselves don’t have time to test absolutely everything so that’s why they have insiders but ppl on insider gatekeep the bugs so they can use them and rare is already working very hard to work around their outdated engine that is already under a lot of stress so give them a break
@@oscarlortz8768if they’re system is outdated and they have insiders not being of any use then maybe…..they should stop making seasons and move on to a new game instead of trying to make this thing live forever with seasons and new items 🤯🤯🤯
IM NOT AN EXPERT, MY OPINION SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH A GRAIN OF SALT (I think I used that correctly?) how hard is it to use a barrel asset THATS ALREADY IN THE GAME as just a player model and add a transformation animation?
They literally removed the ability for Insiders to report bugs through the official system. A year or so ago I was able to freely report numerous bugs I had found in the Insiders builds, (forts that didn’t spawn next waves and locked themselves into being the only world event, audio/visual errors, teleporting, object glitches) but the option to do so just isn’t there anymore and I’m not going to go to the forums just to get ignored.
let me tell you, they choose to ignore the problem that their game is a broken pile of crap, so they stop people from sending reports about bugs because they ignore them anyway
anyone can be an insider. its not exclusive. so the argument of everyone is afk is weak. Go sign up yourselves and see if you can find bugs without any sort of point in a general direction
@@theshaman7381if anyone can be an insider… and all you have to do to get the rewards is be afk… then how is it a weak argument? The fact anyone can do this actually makes it a pretty strong argument.
I know a lot of people in insider who actually take it pretty seriously, and none of their concerns had been listened to. One of those people was actually one of the first to discover the keg harpoon launch. Sure you have people in there afking for the rewards but lets not act like Rare actually listens to these people
Step 1: replace paid testers with volunteers Step 2: Ignore the input from the volunteers, since they’re not company employees and you can’t coach them on how to write clearly worded, easy to find and replicate bug reports, nor can you have the devs work directly with them in a sandbox server to find the source of a hard to replicate issue. Step 3: Release with bugs, remove exciting features because of bugs, annoy the crap out of your players. Step 4: Are you still profiting? OK, everything is fine, keep going. Are profits insufficient? Fire community managers/mods, shrink the dev team, dump anyone working on art or music, outsource anything you can. Start working on a knock-off of whatever this year’s top selling game is.
Insiders do report bugs, lol. Rare just ignore them because the only feedback they want to hear is "it's perfect we love you Rare" and if they receive any other feedback, they ignore it.
@@gwyn8456if they can’t take that criticism then they shouldn’t be on the internet. Look at No man’s sky, they’ve seen the worst of the internet and yet they still tried to make it up by improving their game. Ego being in the way of developing is a common problem.
@LeHarmacist no man's sky developers did step away from social media when they worked on the game. They didn't leave social media or close the program so they are willing to keep trying, besides I see more people writing shit like "your throwing axes suck, you guys can't program for shit" etc., sorry but what are they supposed to do with that, leave constructive criticism not bullshit.
@@gwyn8456 Maybe if they didn't wait for months to even acknowledge the original bug reports people wouldn't get so pissed off at them still never fixing months old bugs
Insiders are NOT and never meant to be testers. They have also been told so many, many times by community managers and devs and were instructed not to post bugs in the forums because it is not their job. Stop blaming community for Rare's mistakes!
So far, players on Insiders just afk the hours. I know because that's what all takes to get the rewards. Our laziness and download time. Nobody required to actually test it because its their livelihood or anything. Just a 'flex' reward for our AFK skills. We might play with the unreleased content once or twice, but it isn't going to appeal since the content often is unfinished or broken. (Or worse, not even implemented). How then do you 'test' it or feel out the appeal it will have to the wider audience in that sense? Well... you don't. And this is why Rare are constantly ragged on for their poor release schedules and content QA. They're even going to keep the BarrelBomb fired out from the cannon bug. . . as a feature. Because they don't want to spend the time to fix it. (Very different from the sword-lunge bug. The cannonbomb ACTUALLY sinks people.) GAH, this makes me so angry.
@@stepheng3735the whole point of a tester is to test the unfinished content and find the bugs and glitches. So you’re kinda not fit for the job if you don’t realize that.
Insiders do report bugs, im not sure how many regular/not very known players report in but almost every SoT content creator with Insider does genuinely take their responsibility seriously, the main problem is Rare usually doesnt listen. Hell some of these Insiders even take it a step further and give the developers their own opinions and pointers on various tools and general content, since theyre insiders they of course usually know whats coming to the game before everyone else, so they also report on that content as well, but Rare almost never takes any of this advice and the mechanics end up broken on release.
More time for updates doesn't do anything. They're relying on testers that aren't paid for the work. Insiders was just a cool, classy addition to the wild environment for help testing. But they must've let go of the game testers for their studio, because the devs are the ones testing, and thus not working on mechanics themselves. Thus, we're seeing a reduction in QA. I work on games/software testing, so when I see this stuff pass by Rare, I'm just screaming: "HIRE ME DAGNABIT!"
Oooo shocker that they had to remove the ability to hide as a chest that EVERYONE wants, traps that can be set anywhere and don’t disappear and an ability to stow away on a ship by hanging off 💀💀💀
Wow who could have guessed that a game that you have to continue to pay in order to play is tanking. They should go back to the old model of games where you pay once for it and that’s it
Time isn't an issue. The fact is the games loop has been tapped. They trpped themselves in a perfect circle that leaves no room for new innovations without breaking that loop. And the amount if stuff you can add is really limited without destroying the balance. That all said it also doesn't help that the devs clearly have no idea what they want to do or add...look at their road naps over the last few years....they start with one idea and by the time the update drops almost none of that idea remains and what is left is unrecognizable to what it was supposed to be.
I mean not really, you don't need to crouch when you're swimming in the ocean or leaping between decks during ship to ship combat as the game was intended. If the game hadn't devolved into the board and firebomb or hide and keg meta that it did, there would be no reason to have any sort of crouch mechanics in this game.
I remember when Beta testers were paid 100k a year and had a dream job for any player. Companies went cheap and now have customers beta-testing a "finished" AAA game. Plus, the price of every game is now four times as much as it should ever be worth.
I was in the insider. It was easy to report issues but then they made it a pain. I went to the forums and was ignored on a few issues, and was essentially banned later, wasn't even told why but I did report that there was an issue persistent after multiple updates. I stopped reporting and I never cared for cosmetics so I haven't even tried the insider bs again.
I am always reporting bugs on the inside branch but the forums has the most incompetent moderation and then the build gets pushed to public and then major bugs I reported are still in the live build and they act surprised.
i played the shit out of sea of thieves on release, all i ever wanted to do was PvP. i feel like that died the moment they added in module damage on ships, instead of people shooting cannons and boarding other ships we went into a meta of whoever could keg the other ship first would win unconditionally
the things that were mentioned as ''removed'' are litteraly ingame there were bugs with the whole mechanics but they fully work now so no not ruined just delayed
Im technically an insider but havent played for years on the insider version - can confirm Insiders use it to find exploits and keep quiet until release
Well it doesn't help that A. Rare just seems to ignore a bunch of insiders and B. a lot of the bugs seem to be found when doing things with other players which in insiders you rarely find other players it feels.
Friendly reminder: if the game is being developed by a big corporation don’t blame the developers for not doing enough with the time blame the higher ups who forced said time restraint
Many people in the insiders like I, do report the bugs. But Rare don't really look up on them. So don't blame the players. There are some which trying to help and want to make the game better. But since this game is on UE4 with lots of stuff on it, it needs to get updated on UE5 which will works event better. And the Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) is too much filled up which leads to many bugs.
A pirate crouching and hiding in a corner like a skyrim stealth build doesn't fit with the swashbuckling ship to ship combat style of game that the devs had envisioned, there's no need to crouch when you're swimming or operating a cannon. As the meta slowly formed, boarding action with firebombs and hiding on ships to exploit unguarded kegs became the fan favourite solo playstyles and crouching slowly became relevant to the game.
I am shocked rare doesn’t have a QA department that does what the insider program is supposed to do. If Rare added a QA department it would add a couple months to the amount of time between each season BUT it would prevent so many bugs from making it into the live version.
If Rare would actually hire QA testers like EVERY OTHER professional company instead of constantly being cheap and relying on the community to test shit, this wouldnt be a problem.
It doesnt help that the ONLY mode added to the game seperate to the main one was a horribly underbaked and overtuned hell of a ‘’pve mode’’ that is so bad you cant even mate over 12k gold in a single game without no lifing your ass off The pearl crystal thingy you get for disrupting the flame heart ritual is normally worth 30k gold however in safer seas its knocked down to like 4k PER ORB instead of 30k PER ORB The mode is borderline useless
You know what could be kinda fun and tricky at the same time? Mimics: Monster that are fake chests, fooling players that are looking for just some treasure, of course, they must have some way to be discovered, like in Dark Souls, where the Mimic is breathing or with wrong chains on it😅😅😂
Insider is a cool idea, I personally love public branches. However usually I strongly recommend to still have private testers because you can't trust people to do things this important when they aren't paid to do it. Well they are getting paid, just not the way that would have them feel obligated to actually do the job
back in 2020 i used to really want a new sea and it woulf be like icy and super cold with really tall hills and icebergs that could pop out of no where
It doesn't help that what used to be a paid, full-time job has been turned into a paid-for exclusive feature.... That takes the wind out of the sails a bit
They haven’t been cut, they’ve just disabled them due to the features causing a multitude of bugs such as hit reg issues, hit box issues (on the pirate), interface issues, interaction issues, and with the hiding as a prop mechanic even causing issues being unable to come out of that disguise (these are all bugs I’ve encountered both during testing and at launch with the features we did receive ) I also should note I’m one of the people who does the insider thing and I reported every bug I came across
As someone who does not play sea of thieves, it is very wild to me to hear that it took 14 seasons of a games lifespan to add the ability to crouch. That's just funny to me.
i used to be a insider and i did alot of work to help out, but after a while it turned out it was just me and a few other people actually trying to help get things done and everyone else both wouldnt test and just afk farm their rewards. and if you posted testing results to get things sorted out the AFK side would frequently attack you posts in order for the devs to not want to look at what you got done.
actually what happened was that people in the insider program did find some bugs and chose not to mention them cause they thought it would be more fun to meme on other players in the live servers, which subsequently resulted in the devs having to remove the features, so instead of having new, perfectly functioning features that make the game more interesting....well ya'll know the rest
Pirates finally get the ability to bend their knees and wouldn't you know it, it broke the game
bending knees is very glitchy
Their knees snapped like twigs trying to bend
They broke the game just like their knees
SCURVVY

While I had time, I did test every new feature on the insider build. Unfortunately I don't have time anymore to even play Sea of thieves
Don’t blame the testers I know a bunch of testers who report bugs and rare still releases the updates with the bugs that get reported . Garbage take
Just change the system so that they receive rewards per bug reported instead of time spent
I feel like then people will just report nothing at all to get the rewards.
Imagine needing 14 seasons to implement the ability to crouch in current year XD
CROUCHING??? Isn't this game like 6+ years atp? 😭
My man, compared to other games they already have a lot of time to prepare an update considering how little they add each season.
My game wouldn't open and keeps crashing
Basically the “Insiders” free load, not actually doing anything and letting theses bugs go undetected.
It doesn't help that what used to be a paid, full-time job has been turned into a paid-for exclusive feature.... That takes the wind out of the sails a bit
They haven’t been cut, they’ve just disabled them due to the features causing a multitude of bugs such as hit reg issues, hit box issues (on the pirate), interface issues, interaction issues, and with the hiding as a prop mechanic even causing issues being unable to come out of that disguise (these are all bugs I’ve encountered both during testing and at launch with the features we did receive ) I also should note I’m one of the people who does the insider thing and I reported every bug I came across
As someone who does not play sea of thieves, it is very wild to me to hear that it took 14 seasons of a games lifespan to add the ability to crouch.
That's just funny to me.
i used to be a insider and i did alot of work to help out, but after a while it turned out it was just me and a few other people actually trying to help get things done and everyone else both wouldnt test and just afk farm their rewards. and if you posted testing results to get things sorted out the AFK side would frequently attack you posts in order for the devs to not want to look at what you got done.
actually what happened was that people in the insider program did find some bugs and chose not to mention them cause they thought it would be more fun to meme on other players in the live servers, which subsequently resulted in the devs having to remove the features, so instead of having new, perfectly functioning features that make the game more interesting....well ya'll know the rest
I keep Crouching instead of bringing out planks had to change my key binding 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😳😳😳
