So....maybe 'hold (action button) to use Bullhorn' and when you do it broadcasts your voice over a longer range? Say, about halfway to the next closest island in a circle area?
I've written a 3800 word rant about this games wasted potential. anyway here are some things they could add more or less quite easily: Rowboats to deploy from your ship Private pirate hideouts (Your own pirate cove with a collection of yer treasure) Swivel guns (small cannons on swivels) Different kinds of cannonballs (Grapeshot, chain balls, bombs) The ability to parrley and ally with other crews Some context for the next one: It should be possible to open the chests, to see the booty contained within. It's a primary pirate fantasy for fucks sake. Gives more mechanics and possibilities to work with as well. (Full preamble below the list) *More special treasure chests!* *The Krakens chest* . A surefire way to attract the kraken. *Davy jones’ locker.* This chest contains the map for a long quest, at its end you’ll face the flying dutchman herself. The endboss of the game, so to speak. *The whistling chest.* Whistling is usually considered to be bad luck. It is said that to whistle is to challenge the wind itself, and that to do so will bring about a storm. And so it does. The chest begins whistling some time after it’s set down in your ship. It’s only still when carried or hit with a weapon. *Klabautermanns chest.* Makes Mermaids appear immediately when you go overboard. If you have the chest on board, the Klabautermann becomes visible when you’re near El Amirante’s ship (an AI boss i "created"). Use him as a warning or a guide! When three crewmates join together in musicmaking, the Klabautermann joins in, too. (inspiration: He is a merry and diligent creature, with an expert understanding of most watercraft, and an irrepressible musical talent. He also rescues sailors washed overboard., he also only appears to a doomed ships crew.talent). Turn it in to gain some of the Klabautermanns cosmetics (Yellow coat, tobacco pipe ad woollen sailors cap.) The chest could also improve ship repair speeds or repair them on its own overtime but I don’t want to overpower the positive aspects of this chest. *Cursed mist chest:* Shortly after bringing it onboard, a dense mist will envelop your ship and you will have to navigate via map and compass only (The ships outline vanishes on the map so you have to navigate without that crutch). Mists chest can be used by experienced sailors to ambush other vessels. *Will o the wisps chest.* Locks your lanterns in the turned on state. Additionally, if you carry the cursed mist chests as well. Your map vanishes entirely and lights will appear in the distance, tricking you into thinking that there is an outpost out in the mists. Lights only appear for your ship. If you bring both chests to a vendor, you get a chance at a rare unique item. ‘Cause an incentive is needed to carry such dangerous cargo. *Magnetic chest.* This chest messes with your compasses and ship outline on the map, so it’s harder to navigate. *Banshees chest.* The banshee haunting this chest does not appreciate jolly music as we do. If you play music while this chest is aboard, the crying banshee will tear holes in your hull and spawn some Skellingtons. Be wary of the whistling chest! If you carry the Banshee and another player nearby plays music, that player is knocked far away, taking damage. *Chest of the coward.* Shortly after set down in your cargo hold, the ghostly soul of a fearful sailor will set your sails to full, as if to escape some evil stalking him… (could lead into a boss battle) *Cursed Antique chest.* A curious stone chest containing strange golden coins adorned with skulls. Opening this chest on your ship and taking the gold will curse your ship, continually spawning a single golden Skeleton on your ship until the chest is sold. If only you could contain the skeleton somewhere safe… hmmm. like in a working brig that doesn't just teleport people like in a god damn garry's mod.... *Sharks chest.* This chest will spawn 4 sharks circling around your ship, forcing you to dock well to carry your booty to safety at an outpost. Secondary use: Gather shark chests to harrass enemy players trying to swim to your ship! Full rant here btw: wordpress.com/read/feeds/81214767/posts/1817795110 warning: the introduction isn't very well structured. might improve someday. Preramble: Chest mechanics. Remove the specific name display when looking at a chest. Why? So you don’t know exactly what’s inside and want to take a peek. Also so you don’t know immediately what a cursed chest is gonna do. We should be able to open treasure chests to see the booty contained within, this is not purely for the satisfying feeling of looking at a treasure chest full of gold, though it is a quintessential part of every pirate adventure for fucks sake. It will also allow you to store trinkets in chests, so you don’t have to run back and forth for every single silver cup. It will come in handy later as well. Normal chests contain Trinkets for the Gold hoarders, cursed chests contain curios for the Order of souls If we expand on this we could have skeletons spring out of the chest when opened, or water flow out of the crying chest at an accelerated rate. But why would you open a chest then instead of just selling it without ever looking into it? For this we will revamp the reward mechanics: If you open a chest, you immediately gain the gold contained within, but any curios (skulls, goods, trinkets and such) have to be brought to the faction vendors. Makes sense especially for the gold hoarders, since they would exchange jewelry for money, while you keep the doubloons you find in the chest. We now have a system where chests have to be opened eventually and it should be vital to know which chests can be opened safely at any given time, More on that in the next paragraph. In addition it’s necessary to define where gold can be collected. I propose this system: Chests can be opened anywhere, but the gold can only be collected when it is opened in the ship. Gold collected this way can no longer be looted by other crews, but they can still steal the chests for the curios contained within. But for now let’s work with the two chests we have: Crying chest: unopened it regularly floods the boat with water, open it and it will fill your ship almost to sinking capacity, so you decide which risk to take. Or if you want to use it to quickly sink an enemy ship but lose the gold. If opened on land it will spawn 6 drowned skellingtons and will continue to replenish them until closed again. Chest of a thousand grogs: When carried makes carrier very drunk, stops when putting it down. When opened on a ship, makes everyone drunk and refills your grog barrel.
Argedon I like the idea of more unique chests and being able to open them. That would for sure be much better than what I experienced. Who's to say the risk of opening the chest may reward you with more loot then selling it? Like what kind of pirate sells their plunder without even peeking into what might be inside? You want this chest for 500 gold? It has 5,000 worth of jewels inside explain that? I was disappointed that they didn't have harpoons, Bola (chained), or something like grape or scatter shot. That seems quite elementary in my opinion, as well as obvious for a pirate game. Being able to land critical hits on enemy ships, or their sails with a bola would be a game changer. In a chase scenario you could prevent a ship from running and force a fight. Being able to board and sabotage and enemy ship quietly would also add much needed depth to this shell of a game. Destruction in this game is severly lacking imo. It doesn't at all seem realistic enough with all the physics that are already in the game. Life or smaller boats that could be deployed from a large ship should be implemented. In my opinion crews should start with a small ship and work for a bigger one. They should only start with a sword and maybe a flint pistol. Having access to everything right from the start is part of this games problem. There isn't a sense of achievement with unlocking or finding better things to help you on your journey. Character customization is lacking, what I mean by that is you can't pick their eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Why not? Why do most of the female characters look like dudes with tits? Why do you HAVE TO pick a randomized character at all? Some people spend hours making their character's features, it's a complete let down to them and anyone who wants to sculpt their ideal pirate. I had high hopes for this title when Rare was involved, they made games back in the day that I love even now. This isn't like that at all for me. For a price tag of $60? It's obviously over-priced, anyone who says it isn't is lying or delusional.
The fact they confirmed customizable ships are coming at some point makes me happy. One of the biggest let downs for me was that all the ships are the same. What I hope for is configurable ships, different hulls, different sails & masts, different cannon arrangements etc. Have the customizations significant enough to change the silhouette of the ships. Let us specialize our ships, big, slow, beast bristleing with cannons to a sleek, fast ship with little firepower. Balancing will have to be careful but if everything had strengths & weaknesses it can be done. The sloop really is competitive vs a galleon proving Asymmetric balance works
I agree somewhat, but in my opinion if a sloop and galleon crew are equally skilled/experienced, the sloop will be able to escape and really nothing else. Sometimes sloops win, but it's definitely an uphill battle.
Huh? What game have you been playing? Hulls, sails and front are already customizable. Maybe making it more like your own with different colours would be great, but I believe you and I have been playing a different game. Oh and a sloop is competitive, it is more nimble and has more acceleration. So it is unique and sizes up to a Galleon.
Harpoon ammo for the cannons (makes little sense, but means they won't need to add a new gun type), or a front-loaded harpoon launcher for ship chasing ;D
only if you want to process it for meat and parts. Would be awesome to harpoon a seamonster and drag it back to _Butcher Bay™_ to get money, cosmetics and items from it. KIlled a Megalodon? Have a sharktooth sword and a sharkskull figurehead! Killed the Kraken? Ink barrel upgrade for your ship, fill the bucket and throw it on enemies! Killed the Devil Whale? Have an awesome skin for your ship. And some perfume, cus whynot.
Connor Haigh Ass holes will just kill you and sink your ship. Sure they'll say "I thought you had treasure lol, y u med bro?". However we all know they knew you didn't.
In a game where the players are the content, it's only as boring as the player and his fellow crew. I don't know about you, but I've learned more than a few sea shanties from various crew members and continue to share them myself. I'm also learning morse code in the hopes that somebody out there has the same idea and we can form an armada. I love to recount the tale of how a couple of women crew-members led to the sudden end of Captain Calico Jack's illustrious career (women hate hearing that one). Don't just play pirate. *BE* pirate. At the same time, I am also glad that SoT is getting more content. Excuse me, I'm off to practise my sword-fighting insults and turn my "Yargh"s up to 11.
The game really needs skeleton ships that attack you and merchant ships sailing about that you can attack. I mean for christs sake you have a pirate game with literally no other ships besides other pirates sailing around? Did anyone do their homework on the age of sail? There should have been 3 ship types. Brig, frigate, man o war or galleon. 3-6 players. I mean it's losing players by the hour. Being a pirate lore addict you would think I would love the game just by being able to be a pirate but I was dissatisfied with what I got at release. I'm gonna stick with it tho because I have faith in rare. Hopefully they can make this the next banjo kazooie
Kenneth Griffin a skeleton ship could be rare but always hold a cursed chest and the merchant ship could have 2 to 3 chest of varied value depending on the difficulty of the ship.
For some reason they don't seem to be interested in adding AI ships. If they're too worried the ai ships would be OP [considering the absurd aim those skellys have], could just keep em limited to 1 or 2 cannons and maybe something sloop sized. Also if they did have AI merchant ships, they would most likely be full of merchant stuff. Honestly I would love if they had some few scattered merchant ships that showed up. Could be like the counter part to strongholds that tend to favor Gold Horders and Souls loot with Merchant getting the short end, so a merchant ship could be the opposite with it being full of merchant loot and a smaller pool of skulls and chests.
A Hyena if so then I see the death of the game in the very near future. If there isn't major changes to the game everyone is gonna lose faith in rare if they haven't already done so. Sooooo many people felt ripped off with this game An aren't even going to GIVE it a second chance. There needs to be more ship to ship action in a pirate game. Sometimes I find myself sailing and farting around with friends for hours before even SEEING an enemy ship. It's pathetic. The seas were littered with ships during the era be them pirates, merchants, civilian or naval vessels. How TF are u gonna have a pirate game An not include the royal navy in some way shape or form. Would've been a cool thing to be hunted by the navy for certain PVP actions. I really really hope something happens here because this game is like is said, losing players by the hour. The seas are abandoned. There's practically no threat anymore whenever I do a skull fortress because nobody is playing anymore
It's Friday.... I guess I'm buying Sea of Thieves.... So now my time will be split between, Family, work, Smite, Nintendo everything, and now this..... Balancing act.
Trying to be super professional while day dreaming about running Solo lane.... I've been watching the Sea of Thieves content knowing it was a matter of time before I "dove in"
Id prefer front cannons ans possibly rear cannons, mix in with sail damage will make PvP on the waters alot more fun, have them small cannons so you cant fire peeps from them but enough to do some damage to slow ships in chases or defens from being chased
I reckon they should add in Sirens " the Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island." It would work in the way as if you sailed into the krakens ink spot where it would pause your ship and turn it sailing it into the rocky shores to crash your ship. Expect instead of an ink patch it would be like a misty cloud with faint singing.
I think a good deal of why they pushed to make new content rather than pets and such is the contract with Microsoft for their Game Pass. Microsoft wants people to pay in every month for the Game Pass and one way of doing so is picking their best game and putting new content every month as well as timed events. Win-Win for Rare and Microsoft if they can keep the game going long term before having people pay out for DLC.
I think there should be a secret on top of the orders of souls place cause theres a locked room and think i should house or begin a way of finding a skeleton parrot or something
That used to be a potion shop in the alpha that got scrapped. They might bring potions back in the future but my guess is that they are saving it for the ingame microtransactions area.
Rare really has done a terrible job with the exploration part of the adventure game. By which I mean, there's nothing to find and no reason to go anywhere else than where your voyage tells you to. No secrets to be discovered, no special rewards, zip, nada, niente, nichts, zero.
Argedon that depends how you look at 'progression'. There is little to explore in PUBG and Fortnite yet everybody plays it. You need to take a look at the purpose of the game.
Imagine having a empty engineering place on every ship that can hold different gear like... - a Howitzer Cannon - a Mortar - a Diving Bell - a Magic Thingy that strongens the wind/ makes your ahip faster - a Cloak or sth that turns your ship to the color of surrounding water And so on
Honestly, what i would like to see are imperial convoys. The imperial convoys will be large ships a bit smaller than a galleon that carry loot from one place to another. At the outposts, there should be a list of imperial convoys with maps, times and dates. You can intercept said convoys and take the loot that they are carrying with them. These convoys will have some protection varying from cannons manned by imperial soldiers to small escorts of smaller ships. The more loot the convoys will be carrying, the stronger the escort. That's one thing i would like to see in the game.
Considering the underwater combat added before, and the new ship type being a ‘new experience’ maybe it could be a submarine, since ‘cursed sails’ could mean there are no sails.
Also, it might be a little bit OP, but a flying duchman (lifted in the air either by magic or a crude hot air balloon) would be a really fun addition to Sea of Thieves. I'm thinking of it as a sail upgrade, so nothing would be affected by it other than being lifted into the sky. It would be balanced by the fact that A. The duchman's cannons can't aim down, and B. Maybe if you shot a cannonball at the hot air balloon/magic hull, the flying would be negated after a few hits and the duchman would crash into the sea for a fair fight.
This is good news! My opinion of the game when asked is "its really good but its shit" I played the alpha and betas of this and times it came out I was bored as it wasn't really any different. Really looking forward to the content coming and getting back into this game.
Aurora Sell to the merchant with higher rarity fish bringing in more gold. They could also add in bonfire cooking, allowing you to cook fish to use as a health item similar to bananas
Aurora I think a lot of us would agree that not a lot needs to be changed on a fundamental level. But we would all like to see more content. More things to do between missions. rewards for things besides completing missions. So adding things like fishing and some mini-games could really add to the experience and overall enjoyment of the game. So adding things that fit within the fundamentals of the game would be a lot easier for Developers to add into a game instead of trying to add things that go against the structure that they've already set up and works well.
I think a special series of voyages where players play as Skeletons to pay a debt to Davy Jones to free their souls would be interesting, it would obviously be a PvP type of voyage, where the player controlled skeletons appear for random events like Order of Skulls voyages or Skull Fortresses to fight other players to make their voyage or raid more difficult.
I think that every outpost should have rafts with really crude sails docked... maybe 6 at each outpost. Then, if you wanted to meme, you could take a tiny raft on an adventure across the seas. No map table, no captain's table, just a square raft with a sail and maybe one cannon.
They should add tether cannons to the ships right next to the steering wheel that you can harpoon a large animal and let it pull the ship or you could tether another ship if aimed correctly. It should be a one shot to other pirates but have its own rare ammo and take a long time to reload.
That would be cool if they added different types of sharks, the rarest one being a megladon boss kinda like the kraken. It would be cool seeing hammerhead sharks and other types or just other sea animals in general!
For being a pirate legend I think there should be a way to put ur gamer icon on the sails so people would know ur one of the legends bc back in the old pirate days the legends had their own scary ships and sails just make pirate legends to be recognized in what way they want to be
Tristan edmiston i know. I was hoping for customisable sails. Not to the point like cod but hundreds of skulls and other items which we can combine to create our own unique skull and .... Sails
This, this is how you do a community-built game. It's far better to release a functional skeleton to build around what the community wants, rather than release something full of everything they think we'll want and end up carving things out, potentially breaking the game.
FunkyFyreMunky they seriously took risks and even thou some people abandoned the game with hate towards it, it was the people that believes and continue to believe the one who will help shape the game.
You take risks when you try something different. I reckon more than half of the people who abandoned the game will pick it back up again before 6 months from now.
I'd rather take a fun framework to play in than a bloated mess of a game that I payed $60 for. As far as I see it, with the amount of fun I've had with the game, I've already got my money's worth and as it stands I'm going to get more of what I love.
Would like to see they changed the maintenance table from the Wednesday to another day,it's my day off. Do people know they doing this weekly patch every week till end of year?or is it temporally?
the new item in may will 99% sure be the trumpet to speak to other ships at longer distances, since you will need to team up that is the only thing that makes sense and they are almost done with it.
Those islands that don’t have a function kinda of do because if you sail take your spy glass out and look on the sands for shiny things it possible for them to spawn on those islands
Mermaids = Hunger in the deep? I was thinking more like a Megalodon or something like that.. a Beast that hungers.. But Mermaids wouldnt hurt, more interaction under sea is welcome!
There are rumors about the Megalodon, what speaks against them for me is the fact that whatever it is, is supposed to remain in the world permanently. Imo it would be a bit odd to have 2 types of big monsters between the Megalodon and the Kraken but only one common PvE enemy type being skeletons (although in different forms). In the end, both is possible, I'm also leaning towards Mermaids as we know there are fully functional models for them in the game already. Could also be both.
After watching this video, I've stalked his whole channel in order to find out what kind of accent that is!!!1 It's German >:D And I liked the video. Im hyped for SOT!
I got an idea. Maybe they should add something other than skeleons to fight? As baron as Destiny 1 was when it released, it still had 4 different enemy factions and 5 or 6 classes of enemy within those factions. It's baffling thatt they released his game with one enemy type.
The new ship is called the man o’ war which like u said is a bigger and tanker ship with 6 to 8 players and is more powerful as 12 cannons 6 on each side and I think three floors, and pets u said will be coming out with feelings to like timid and vicious and happy and other ones too, rats will be on the ship mostly eating ur bananas and making holes in ur ship which will be annoying but the cat will keep some away, rats also gives diseases and if on another ship that sunk will go to another and will spread
Please please please Rare add trader NPCs that travel between islands with resources and a chance of having chests/skulls/merchant items that you can attack and steal from. I want to act like a pirate but I feel bad sinking other players when they likely don’t even have anything
Arcaithe I raided a fort for two hours and all my loot got stolen on the way to a outpost and the guy who stole it stated he felt bad, after i told him it was my first fort. :(
I hope they add big jungle islands with maya temples and traps at some point. would be fun to have story based quests also with scripted event but yeah... not sure they would do that
If they added mermaids & harpoons, they should make it to where you cant use guns underwater. Only harpoons & swords. It would make underwater fights more interesting imo
New events New foods New instruments Underwater content like ancient sunken ruins and shallow reefs Tameable Pets and new critters ( Crabs, parrots, rabbits, parrots, goats) Sand writing for a short period of time Professions (Fishing, Relic Hunter, Cooking-»Ability to make campfires thru wood boards and flint/tinder, Leather gatherer from sharks,pigs, snakes, etc...) Put status effects on games like hydration and hunger (but do not abuse it..like you have to eat and drink at least once in each 2 days or you will die) Better meals would keep the hunger away for longer time New enemies and sea monsters (sirens, nagas, vodooish civilization, a sailing enemy faction with onboard treasure that you could obtain by sinking the ship or boarding it and steal it) More ships and way more cosmetics and costumization Maybe pirate guilds (with a warp zone for a cove for your guild and stuff) Collect / unlock new musical sheets New Weapon types (harpoons, throwable gunpowder bombs, crossbows...) Map increase Maelstroms A slight better chance of loot as you progress in the game A new faction for casual pvp with bounties (Example: Kill and retreive 3 goldencoins from 3 fallen enemies and win a skin / model for x weapon or ship , etc...) An option to burry and mark the treasure in a map to come get it later (without logging out) Chance to find special booze on beaches and coves and ruins that you can store them in your iventory and either can sell them for gold or you can consume them for a special effect like chancws on getting better treasure increased by 15% or share this drink with the weapon seller for 25% discount on the next 2 purchases. I would also like to see stuff like make your own riddle and hide you own treasure skull relic whatever then send it to to your friend by parrot or post in on the social bar (the thing where you start the game) and anyone can pick it up and try to solve it. If they do it you would also earn a special type of reputation, like social rep where you could unlock and buy new emotes, dances, pirate quotes, special brews to share, fireworks, anything that would be of social aspect Last thing I would do is place a "job"board on the tavern to recruit sailors. Example: 2 man crew is looking for 2 sailors to level up trading faction. Meet on X Island portside to sign contract at 8pm. And with this change i would balance xp and gold gains. Solo play: 120% gold and xp from delivers Duo: 100% "" "" 3 or 4 man crew: 80% ""
I think the hungering deep could possibly be the leviathan though the story of the mermaids and the purple cursed chest and the kraken etc so the idea you proposed kind of seems more likely still watching the video another theory of mine is that the cursed sails introduces the Flying Dutchman and the new ship will most likely be a ship that uses the cannons in the middle deck to fire at enemies with some cover
Man when i first saw this game i thought that it will be a loot hoarder and i would love that, the devs don't want other players to be stronger than others, but why, that's what progresion is for, i wanted to siege islands and find treasure, better weapons, upgrade my ship, have a private island, fight bosses, it¨s crazy how much the game missed. The game can be fun no doubt about that, but only with people and even that gets boring because after 10 hrs of gameplay you saw everything in the game.
Yeah, I mean, I can just stop doing stuff / don't bother participate in events and such, since I am happy with the looks of my pirate, and I don't really care about cosmetics in a game heh
Cool Toy Then you bought the wrong game. Rare said before release this will be a community-cosmetics focused game. They will not have things like unlockable ship types, weapons or anything. Everything will be purchased by gold and cosmetic based only.
Sea of theives is thankfully on Gold Game Pass, so £6 a month for more than just this game is worth it, however, i'd be disappointed if i paid £50 upfront for currently a skeleton framework of a good game. Looking forward to updates which flesh the game out!
@4:30 more skeletons? Gee, that's exactly want I meant when I said, "this game needs more content," that it needed even more skeletons. I'm being sarcastic as fuck, by the way, for anyone who hasn't picked up on it.
@6:50 it doesn't sound like three big updates to me. It sounds like they'll be taking existing assets, the mermaids, and making enemies out of them; having us run to get more shit to bring back the the outpost like we do already; and adding more fucking skeletons! lmao, this game was such a disappointment, but I hang onto in the hopes that they fix it.
Maybe eventually they’ll add more ranks in the game like every 2 updates add some levels to make it so max is 60 and next 70 but make it so there are ranks higher then legend
we need more people at server, we need more enemy variety on islands, we need better ai, we need more items and trade system with other players, we need class and level system, we need chain and grape ammo for canon, we need more story for pve lovers, we need fishing, we need new quest types, we need ... . ..
It would be cool if their were sirens that will attract ships into sinking by either crashing into rocks or dragging ships into whirlpools and somehow you will have to kill and find them to stop this
Oh my god 6 content updates in a year no way and FREE OH MY GOD. In a year they're going to add the content that should've been since start for 60+ bucks good job rare " hyped".
Your one of those people that think every update that comes to a game near the start is “kept back for money” or “they should of had this from the start” just stfu because they do their best and with games like Destiny 2 they don’t listen to the community where as SoT listen to 90% of feedback and do their best for the great future of the game
Mermaids take you back to your ship if you fall off not to kill you so they won't take that away just to turn them into killers you would have to try and swin back to your ship that just sounds dumb
And to think...theres assholes out there saying this game was too boring and that people shouldnt buy it. Im SUPER hyped to see what they have planned! Screw those guys who jumped the gun on this game, let them wallow in their Call Of Duty cookie cutter shooters.
Still waiting for that proper player progression. Cosmetics alone just isn't interesting enough to keep players invested, at least not for me. But its probably hard to implement that into the game at this point when the game is already out.
The new item will be for communicating vocally with other crews, so like an old-fashioned megaphone or something
That is actually a really good point, they mentioned that before and would absolutely make sense in the context of "bringing crews together"!
So....maybe 'hold (action button) to use Bullhorn' and when you do it broadcasts your voice over a longer range? Say, about halfway to the next closest island in a circle area?
Great idea
whats the song in this video duke
Perhaps pidgeon or parrot messaging
I've written a 3800 word rant about this games wasted potential. anyway here are some things they could add more or less quite easily:
Rowboats to deploy from your ship
Private pirate hideouts (Your own pirate cove with a collection of yer treasure)
Swivel guns (small cannons on swivels)
Different kinds of cannonballs (Grapeshot, chain balls, bombs)
The ability to parrley and ally with other crews
Some context for the next one: It should be possible to open the chests, to see the booty contained within. It's a primary pirate fantasy for fucks sake. Gives more mechanics and possibilities to work with as well. (Full preamble below the list)
*More special treasure chests!*
*The Krakens chest* . A surefire way to attract the kraken.
*Davy jones’ locker.* This chest contains the map for a long quest, at its end you’ll face the flying dutchman herself. The endboss of the game, so to speak.
*The whistling chest.* Whistling is usually considered to be bad luck. It is said that to whistle is to challenge the wind itself, and that to do so will bring about a storm. And so it does. The chest begins whistling some time after it’s set down in your ship. It’s only still when carried or hit with a weapon.
*Klabautermanns chest.* Makes Mermaids appear immediately when you go overboard. If you have the chest on board, the Klabautermann becomes visible when you’re near El Amirante’s ship (an AI boss i "created"). Use him as a warning or a guide! When three crewmates join together in musicmaking, the Klabautermann joins in, too. (inspiration: He is a merry and diligent creature, with an expert understanding of most watercraft, and an irrepressible musical talent. He also rescues sailors washed overboard., he also only appears to a doomed ships crew.talent). Turn it in to gain some of the Klabautermanns cosmetics (Yellow coat, tobacco pipe ad woollen sailors cap.) The chest could also improve ship repair speeds or repair them on its own overtime but I don’t want to overpower the positive aspects of this chest.
*Cursed mist chest:* Shortly after bringing it onboard, a dense mist will envelop your ship and you will have to navigate via map and compass only (The ships outline vanishes on the map so you have to navigate without that crutch). Mists chest can be used by experienced sailors to ambush other vessels.
*Will o the wisps chest.* Locks your lanterns in the turned on state. Additionally, if you carry the cursed mist chests as well. Your map vanishes entirely and lights will appear in the distance, tricking you into thinking that there is an outpost out in the mists. Lights only appear for your ship. If you bring both chests to a vendor, you get a chance at a rare unique item. ‘Cause an incentive is needed to carry such dangerous cargo.
*Magnetic chest.* This chest messes with your compasses and ship outline on the map, so it’s harder to navigate.
*Banshees chest.* The banshee haunting this chest does not appreciate jolly music as we do. If you play music while this chest is aboard, the crying banshee will tear holes in your hull and spawn some Skellingtons. Be wary of the whistling chest! If you carry the Banshee and another player nearby plays music, that player is knocked far away, taking damage.
*Chest of the coward.* Shortly after set down in your cargo hold, the ghostly soul of a fearful sailor will set your sails to full, as if to escape some evil stalking him… (could lead into a boss battle)
*Cursed Antique chest.* A curious stone chest containing strange golden coins adorned with skulls. Opening this chest on your ship and taking the gold will curse your ship, continually spawning a single golden Skeleton on your ship until the chest is sold. If only you could contain the skeleton somewhere safe… hmmm. like in a working brig that doesn't just teleport people like in a god damn garry's mod....
*Sharks chest.* This chest will spawn 4 sharks circling around your ship, forcing you to dock well to carry your booty to safety at an outpost.
Secondary use: Gather shark chests to harrass enemy players trying to swim to your ship!
Full rant here btw: wordpress.com/read/feeds/81214767/posts/1817795110 warning: the introduction isn't very well structured. might improve someday.
Preramble: Chest mechanics.
Remove the specific name display when looking at a chest. Why? So you don’t know exactly what’s inside and want to take a peek. Also so you don’t know immediately what a cursed chest is gonna do.
We should be able to open treasure chests to see the booty contained within, this is not purely for the satisfying feeling of looking at a treasure chest full of gold, though it is a quintessential part of every pirate adventure for fucks sake. It will also allow you to store trinkets in chests, so you don’t have to run back and forth for every single silver cup. It will come in handy later as well. Normal chests contain Trinkets for the Gold hoarders, cursed chests contain curios for the Order of souls
If we expand on this we could have skeletons spring out of the chest when opened, or water flow out of the crying chest at an accelerated rate.
But why would you open a chest then instead of just selling it without ever looking into it?
For this we will revamp the reward mechanics: If you open a chest, you immediately gain the gold contained within, but any curios (skulls, goods, trinkets and such) have to be brought to the faction vendors. Makes sense especially for the gold hoarders, since they would exchange jewelry for money, while you keep the doubloons you find in the chest. We now have a system where chests have to be opened eventually and it should be vital to know which chests can be opened safely at any given time, More on that in the next paragraph. In addition it’s necessary to define where gold can be collected. I propose this system:
Chests can be opened anywhere, but the gold can only be collected when it is opened in the ship. Gold collected this way can no longer be looted by other crews, but they can still steal the chests for the curios contained within.
But for now let’s work with the two chests we have:
Crying chest: unopened it regularly floods the boat with water, open it and it will fill your ship almost to sinking capacity, so you decide which risk to take. Or if you want to use it to quickly sink an enemy ship but lose the gold. If opened on land it will spawn 6 drowned skellingtons and will continue to replenish them until closed again.
Chest of a thousand grogs: When carried makes carrier very drunk, stops when putting it down. When opened on a ship, makes everyone drunk and refills your grog barrel.
Argedon I like the idea of more unique chests and being able to open them. That would for sure be much better than what I experienced. Who's to say the risk of opening the chest may reward you with more loot then selling it? Like what kind of pirate sells their plunder without even peeking into what might be inside? You want this chest for 500 gold? It has 5,000 worth of jewels inside explain that? I was disappointed that they didn't have harpoons, Bola (chained), or something like grape or scatter shot. That seems quite elementary in my opinion, as well as obvious for a pirate game. Being able to land critical hits on enemy ships, or their sails with a bola would be a game changer. In a chase scenario you could prevent a ship from running and force a fight. Being able to board and sabotage and enemy ship quietly would also add much needed depth to this shell of a game. Destruction in this game is severly lacking imo. It doesn't at all seem realistic enough with all the physics that are already in the game. Life or smaller boats that could be deployed from a large ship should be implemented. In my opinion crews should start with a small ship and work for a bigger one. They should only start with a sword and maybe a flint pistol. Having access to everything right from the start is part of this games problem. There isn't a sense of achievement with unlocking or finding better things to help you on your journey. Character customization is lacking, what I mean by that is you can't pick their eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Why not? Why do most of the female characters look like dudes with tits? Why do you HAVE TO pick a randomized character at all? Some people spend hours making their character's features, it's a complete let down to them and anyone who wants to sculpt their ideal pirate. I had high hopes for this title when Rare was involved, they made games back in the day that I love even now. This isn't like that at all for me. For a price tag of $60? It's obviously over-priced, anyone who says it isn't is lying or delusional.
This is fucking awesome
Duke is now a Smite/SoT channel and I'm honestly perfectly fine with that. Heck, I'd love to see more games being covered here, competitive or not
I have something planned.. can't spoil it yet but I have something planned ;)
I hope rare adds some big whales to the sea that would be damn sweet
Loki if they add a harpoon or spear it would be cool if you could hunt them for some sellable reasource
Max Armintor yea
The fact they confirmed customizable ships are coming at some point makes me happy. One of the biggest let downs for me was that all the ships are the same.
What I hope for is configurable ships, different hulls, different sails & masts, different cannon arrangements etc. Have the customizations significant enough to change the silhouette of the ships.
Let us specialize our ships, big, slow, beast bristleing with cannons to a sleek, fast ship with little firepower. Balancing will have to be careful but if everything had strengths & weaknesses it can be done.
The sloop really is competitive vs a galleon proving Asymmetric balance works
I agree somewhat, but in my opinion if a sloop and galleon crew are equally skilled/experienced, the sloop will be able to escape and really nothing else. Sometimes sloops win, but it's definitely an uphill battle.
Huh? What game have you been playing? Hulls, sails and front are already customizable. Maybe making it more like your own with different colours would be great, but I believe you and I have been playing a different game.
Oh and a sloop is competitive, it is more nimble and has more acceleration. So it is unique and sizes up to a Galleon.
Harpoons make more sense for a large monster, I think
Harpoon ammo for the cannons (makes little sense, but means they won't need to add a new gun type), or a front-loaded harpoon launcher for ship chasing ;D
only if you want to process it for meat and parts. Would be awesome to harpoon a seamonster and drag it back to _Butcher Bay™_ to get money, cosmetics and items from it.
KIlled a Megalodon? Have a sharktooth sword and a sharkskull figurehead!
Killed the Kraken? Ink barrel upgrade for your ship, fill the bucket and throw it on enemies!
Killed the Devil Whale? Have an awesome skin for your ship. And some perfume, cus whynot.
Itd be cool to get a whaling and fishing update
Connor Haigh i think that would just be added as mechanics lol
Connor Haigh Ass holes will just kill you and sink your ship. Sure they'll say "I thought you had treasure lol, y u med bro?". However we all know they knew you didn't.
We're whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon, but there ain't no whales so we tell tall tales and sing our whaling tune.
WE'RE-
Argedon
Ahh...Futurama. Well done!
Glad SOT is getting more content. It was super boring. It’s ironic, SOT was a game filled with ocean but it was drier then desert
In a game where the players are the content, it's only as boring as the player and his fellow crew. I don't know about you, but I've learned more than a few sea shanties from various crew members and continue to share them myself. I'm also learning morse code in the hopes that somebody out there has the same idea and we can form an armada. I love to recount the tale of how a couple of women crew-members led to the sudden end of Captain Calico Jack's illustrious career (women hate hearing that one). Don't just play pirate. *BE* pirate. At the same time, I am also glad that SoT is getting more content. Excuse me, I'm off to practise my sword-fighting insults and turn my "Yargh"s up to 11.
sergeantnorider no
'Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.'
FunkyFyreMunky No, not really. Content is a huge thing, and players join for content. Players aren’t content, players want content.
I'M FREAKING HYYYYPPPED
SuperTeeds why the games boring
Trickster Mixer ok smart one these updates are gonna make it fun, and not boring anymore
lol don't be hyped, they will only add cosmetic shit :D
The game really needs skeleton ships that attack you and merchant ships sailing about that you can attack. I mean for christs sake you have a pirate game with literally no other ships besides other pirates sailing around? Did anyone do their homework on the age of sail? There should have been 3 ship types. Brig, frigate, man o war or galleon. 3-6 players. I mean it's losing players by the hour. Being a pirate lore addict you would think I would love the game just by being able to be a pirate but I was dissatisfied with what I got at release. I'm gonna stick with it tho because I have faith in rare. Hopefully they can make this the next banjo kazooie
Kenneth Griffin a skeleton ship could be rare but always hold a cursed chest and the merchant ship could have 2 to 3 chest of varied value depending on the difficulty of the ship.
For some reason they don't seem to be interested in adding AI ships. If they're too worried the ai ships would be OP [considering the absurd aim those skellys have], could just keep em limited to 1 or 2 cannons and maybe something sloop sized. Also if they did have AI merchant ships, they would most likely be full of merchant stuff. Honestly I would love if they had some few scattered merchant ships that showed up.
Could be like the counter part to strongholds that tend to favor Gold Horders and Souls loot with Merchant getting the short end, so a merchant ship could be the opposite with it being full of merchant loot and a smaller pool of skulls and chests.
A Hyena if so then I see the death of the game in the very near future. If there isn't major changes to the game everyone is gonna lose faith in rare if they haven't already done so. Sooooo many people felt ripped off with this game An aren't even going to GIVE it a second chance. There needs to be more ship to ship action in a pirate game. Sometimes I find myself sailing and farting around with friends for hours before even SEEING an enemy ship. It's pathetic. The seas were littered with ships during the era be them pirates, merchants, civilian or naval vessels. How TF are u gonna have a pirate game An not include the royal navy in some way shape or form. Would've been a cool thing to be hunted by the navy for certain PVP actions. I really really hope something happens here because this game is like is said, losing players by the hour. The seas are abandoned. There's practically no threat anymore whenever I do a skull fortress because nobody is playing anymore
Not on par with banjo no where near. I'm bored of this game after 3 hours. Worse game iv played in years. The beta was the same as the full game
I haven't gotten in an engagement with an enemy ship since the first day I started playing
Hmm, perhaps Hungering Deep will feature some other aquatic threat beyond thr Kraken, such as a Sea Serpent or Leviathan, or even perhaps a Megalodon.
It's Friday.... I guess I'm buying Sea of Thieves.... So now my time will be split between, Family, work, Smite, Nintendo everything, and now this..... Balancing act.
That sounds like a rough one to manage
Trying to be super professional while day dreaming about running Solo lane....
I've been watching the Sea of Thieves content knowing it was a matter of time before I "dove in"
Family is optional
I've made my choice. Maybe my kids will be developers.
Don't bother you will be bored after a day
Imagine if they added a Mortar to the new ship type...
What would you guys think of that?
Intriguing question..
I'd think it would be great :D
Suagy Same :D
Ben Wilkinson
“B6”
“Miss”
“C6”
“Miss”
“D7”
“Hit”
If you could only have it on one ship type it could be unfair
Otherwise a cool idea :)
Id prefer front cannons ans possibly rear cannons, mix in with sail damage will make PvP on the waters alot more fun, have them small cannons so you cant fire peeps from them but enough to do some damage to slow ships in chases or defens from being chased
I reckon they should add in Sirens " the Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island." It would work in the way as if you sailed into the krakens ink spot where it would pause your ship and turn it sailing it into the rocky shores to crash your ship. Expect instead of an ink patch it would be like a misty cloud with faint singing.
I think a good deal of why they pushed to make new content rather than pets and such is the contract with Microsoft for their Game Pass. Microsoft wants people to pay in every month for the Game Pass and one way of doing so is picking their best game and putting new content every month as well as timed events. Win-Win for Rare and Microsoft if they can keep the game going long term before having people pay out for DLC.
I think there should be a secret on top of the orders of souls place cause theres a locked room and think i should house or begin a way of finding a skeleton parrot or something
Pingle mcping well it wont be able to fly, so it will sit on your shoulder and every minute yell: "gotto grind, gotto grind!".
That used to be a potion shop in the alpha that got scrapped. They might bring potions back in the future but my guess is that they are saving it for the ingame microtransactions area.
Rare really has done a terrible job with the exploration part of the adventure game. By which I mean, there's nothing to find and no reason to go anywhere else than where your voyage tells you to. No secrets to be discovered, no special rewards, zip, nada, niente, nichts, zero.
Argedon that depends how you look at 'progression'. There is little to explore in PUBG and Fortnite yet everybody plays it. You need to take a look at the purpose of the game.
Imagine having a empty engineering place on every ship that can hold different gear like...
- a Howitzer Cannon
- a Mortar
- a Diving Bell
- a Magic Thingy that strongens the wind/ makes your ahip faster
- a Cloak or sth that turns your ship to the color of surrounding water
And so on
Honestly, what i would like to see are imperial convoys. The imperial convoys will be large ships a bit smaller than a galleon that carry loot from one place to another. At the outposts, there should be a list of imperial convoys with maps, times and dates. You can intercept said convoys and take the loot that they are carrying with them. These convoys will have some protection varying from cannons manned by imperial soldiers to small escorts of smaller ships. The more loot the convoys will be carrying, the stronger the escort. That's one thing i would like to see in the game.
Considering the underwater combat added before, and the new ship type being a ‘new experience’ maybe it could be a submarine, since ‘cursed sails’ could mean there are no sails.
Also, it might be a little bit OP, but a flying duchman (lifted in the air either by magic or a crude hot air balloon) would be a really fun addition to Sea of Thieves. I'm thinking of it as a sail upgrade, so nothing would be affected by it other than being lifted into the sky. It would be balanced by the fact that A. The duchman's cannons can't aim down, and B. Maybe if you shot a cannonball at the hot air balloon/magic hull, the flying would be negated after a few hits and the duchman would crash into the sea for a fair fight.
This is good news! My opinion of the game when asked is "its really good but its shit" I played the alpha and betas of this and times it came out I was bored as it wasn't really any different. Really looking forward to the content coming and getting back into this game.
We need fishing in sea of thieves.
And do what with the fish?
Aurora sell the for gold and rep with the trading faction
Aurora Sell to the merchant with higher rarity fish bringing in more gold.
They could also add in bonfire cooking, allowing you to cook fish to use as a health item similar to bananas
Ok. But that doesn't change or add anything new on a fundamental level.
Aurora I think a lot of us would agree that not a lot needs to be changed on a fundamental level. But we would all like to see more content. More things to do between missions. rewards for things besides completing missions. So adding things like fishing and some mini-games could really add to the experience and overall enjoyment of the game. So adding things that fit within the fundamentals of the game would be a lot easier for Developers to add into a game instead of trying to add things that go against the structure that they've already set up and works well.
I think a special series of voyages where players play as Skeletons to pay a debt to Davy Jones to free their souls would be interesting, it would obviously be a PvP type of voyage, where the player controlled skeletons appear for random events like Order of Skulls voyages or Skull Fortresses to fight other players to make their voyage or raid more difficult.
I think that every outpost should have rafts with really crude sails docked... maybe 6 at each outpost. Then, if you wanted to meme, you could take a tiny raft on an adventure across the seas. No map table, no captain's table, just a square raft with a sail and maybe one cannon.
Your video is much better than RAREs. A lot of their talk is vague and has been the whole time. Not confident with their dlc until they prove it.
They should add tether cannons to the ships right next to the steering wheel that you can harpoon a large animal and let it pull the ship or you could tether another ship if aimed correctly. It should be a one shot to other pirates but have its own rare ammo and take a long time to reload.
Love the new outro music. Keep up the great videos sir. The old one will be missed a little bit.
im so happy all content is free
SO HYPED FOR MAY
That would be cool if they added different types of sharks, the rarest one being a megladon boss kinda like the kraken. It would be cool seeing hammerhead sharks and other types or just other sea animals in general!
For being a pirate legend I think there should be a way to put ur gamer icon on the sails so people would know ur one of the legends bc back in the old pirate days the legends had their own scary ships and sails just make pirate legends to be recognized in what way they want to be
Tristan edmiston i know. I was hoping for customisable sails. Not to the point like cod but hundreds of skulls and other items which we can combine to create our own unique skull and .... Sails
This, this is how you do a community-built game. It's far better to release a functional skeleton to build around what the community wants, rather than release something full of everything they think we'll want and end up carving things out, potentially breaking the game.
FunkyFyreMunky they seriously took risks and even thou some people abandoned the game with hate towards it, it was the people that believes and continue to believe the one who will help shape the game.
You take risks when you try something different. I reckon more than half of the people who abandoned the game will pick it back up again before 6 months from now.
A skeleton shouldn't cost 60 bucks just saying
I'd rather take a fun framework to play in than a bloated mess of a game that I payed $60 for. As far as I see it, with the amount of fun I've had with the game, I've already got my money's worth and as it stands I'm going to get more of what I love.
Caleb Carrier, the skeleton will receive the rest of the body without additional cost
Would like to see they changed the maintenance table from the Wednesday to another day,it's my day off.
Do people know they doing this weekly patch every week till end of year?or is it temporally?
I want them to add a very small but fast ship for one person
they have concept art for a rowboat.
Id like a 3 person ship that is in-between. The sloop is perfectly fine for 1 person. But the Galleon is very difficult with 3.
yeah a 3 man's ship with 2 sails , sounds good?
I was thinking the same thing هذا هو الشاهي
I just hope the new ship is a 3 man since being at a 3 man in a galleon puts you at a disadvantage and randoms suck
Modernwarhero i’ve actually made a few friends by just searching for random
the new item in may will 99% sure be the trumpet to speak to other ships at longer distances, since you will need to team up that is the only thing that makes sense and they are almost done with it.
I’ve been wanting something like this to happen
2:10 the mermaid all the way on the right kinda reminds me of Kit Fisto
I was thinking maybe it's the giant serpent from the skeletons you can find underwater
Those islands that don’t have a function kinda of do because if you sail take your spy glass out and look on the sands for shiny things it possible for them to spawn on those islands
Mermaids = Hunger in the deep? I was thinking more like a Megalodon or something like that.. a Beast that hungers.. But Mermaids wouldnt hurt, more interaction under sea is welcome!
There are rumors about the Megalodon, what speaks against them for me is the fact that whatever it is, is supposed to remain in the world permanently. Imo it would be a bit odd to have 2 types of big monsters between the Megalodon and the Kraken but only one common PvE enemy type being skeletons (although in different forms). In the end, both is possible, I'm also leaning towards Mermaids as we know there are fully functional models for them in the game already. Could also be both.
I hope all of the other skeleton forts become active with the Hungering Deep. All of the others are so cool
Cursed sails ....sounds like a ghostship event
The grind for pirate legend is real. I am already 38 36 35, and that is without server hopping, I don't server hop.
After watching this video, I've stalked his whole channel in order to find out what kind of accent that is!!!1 It's German >:D
And I liked the video. Im hyped for SOT!
AMAZING IDEAS FROM RARE! They FIXED THE GAME’S FUTURE
Ohhhh i get it now i thought sot was just devoid of content my bad i just realized its actually in early access and not finished yet.
Harpoon wasn’t a request, it was planned to be in the game since late alpha build
As well as items such as a cousin instrument of the violin
I got an idea.
Maybe they should add something other than skeleons to fight? As baron as Destiny 1 was when it released, it still had 4 different enemy factions and 5 or 6 classes of enemy within those factions. It's baffling thatt they released his game with one enemy type.
"The Hungering Deep" may be a megalodon!... if you think about it
i reckon mermaids
Its gonna be enemy mermaid kingdom
What if the "megalodon" just ends up being a big sharkfin on top of the water xD
Karl O'Toole sounds like some shit rare would do lmao
Karl O'Toole it’s so fukn tru but they did say that you will be able to kill Karen soon so she was talked about having a body as a second phase
it’d be cool if a new ship type would be for high reputatian on merchant and it’s a cargo ship with bunch of cargo on it and some variety
The new ship is called the man o’ war which like u said is a bigger and tanker ship with 6 to 8 players and is more powerful as 12 cannons 6 on each side and I think three floors, and pets u said will be coming out with feelings to like timid and vicious and happy and other ones too, rats will be on the ship mostly eating ur bananas and making holes in ur ship which will be annoying but the cat will keep some away, rats also gives diseases and if on another ship that sunk will go to another and will spread
They should add some kind of vampire hunting DLC, that would fit the atmosphere
Please please please Rare add trader NPCs that travel between islands with resources and a chance of having chests/skulls/merchant items that you can attack and steal from.
I want to act like a pirate but I feel bad sinking other players when they likely don’t even have anything
Arcaithe I raided a fort for two hours and all my loot got stolen on the way to a outpost and the guy who stole it stated he felt bad, after i told him it was my first fort. :(
I hope they add big jungle islands with maya temples and traps at some point. would be fun to have story based quests also with scripted event but yeah... not sure they would do that
If they added mermaids & harpoons, they should make it to where you cant use guns underwater. Only harpoons & swords. It would make underwater fights more interesting imo
They lost a major part of there player base after the free trail ended
Finally something promising!!!
The game has such great potential.
One of the important reasons I say that is because it's essentially an empty canvas.
Mermaids are already in the game, I think you mean sirens
Not necessarily. Could also just simply be hostile mermaids, based on the models.
Yeah i agree
Sirens were first depicted as harpies so maybe harpy sirens could be in the game too
I always knew sea of thieves had potential. Me and my friend are looking forward to it.
New events
New foods
New instruments
Underwater content like ancient sunken ruins and shallow reefs
Tameable Pets and new critters ( Crabs, parrots, rabbits, parrots, goats)
Sand writing for a short period of time
Professions (Fishing, Relic Hunter, Cooking-»Ability to make campfires thru wood boards and flint/tinder, Leather gatherer from sharks,pigs, snakes, etc...)
Put status effects on games like hydration and hunger (but do not abuse it..like you have to eat and drink at least once in each 2 days or you will die) Better meals would keep the hunger away for longer time
New enemies and sea monsters (sirens, nagas, vodooish civilization, a sailing enemy faction with onboard treasure that you could obtain by sinking the ship or boarding it and steal it)
More ships and way more cosmetics and costumization
Maybe pirate guilds (with a warp zone for a cove for your guild and stuff)
Collect / unlock new musical sheets
New Weapon types (harpoons, throwable gunpowder bombs, crossbows...)
Map increase
Maelstroms
A slight better chance of loot as you progress in the game
A new faction for casual pvp with bounties (Example: Kill and retreive 3 goldencoins from 3 fallen enemies and win a skin / model for x weapon or ship , etc...)
An option to burry and mark the treasure in a map to come get it later (without logging out)
Chance to find special booze on beaches and coves and ruins that you can store them in your iventory and either can sell them for gold or you can consume them for a special effect like chancws on getting better treasure increased by 15% or share this drink with the weapon seller for 25% discount on the next 2 purchases.
I would also like to see stuff like make your own riddle and hide you own treasure skull relic whatever then send it to to your friend by parrot or post in on the social bar (the thing where you start the game) and anyone can pick it up and try to solve it. If they do it you would also earn a special type of reputation, like social rep where you could unlock and buy new emotes, dances, pirate quotes, special brews to share, fireworks, anything that would be of social aspect
Last thing I would do is place a "job"board on the tavern to recruit sailors. Example: 2 man crew is looking for 2 sailors to level up trading faction. Meet on X Island portside to sign contract at 8pm. And with this change i would balance xp and gold gains.
Solo play: 120% gold and xp from delivers
Duo: 100% "" ""
3 or 4 man crew: 80% ""
It would be nice if they added 2-3 cosmetic sets every big update
I think it would be cool if they added some type of cannon that would destroy sails and make ships dead in the water
I think the hungering deep could possibly be the leviathan though the story of the mermaids and the purple cursed chest and the kraken etc so the idea you proposed kind of seems more likely still watching the video another theory of mine is that the cursed sails introduces the Flying Dutchman and the new ship will most likely be a ship that uses the cannons in the middle deck to fire at enemies with some cover
A cool thing to add would be able to recruit maybe a Max of 2 boats or 1 galleon and 1 sloop only for a "fleet" yea or no??
Imagine Sea of Thieves with ocean life!!!
Man when i first saw this game i thought that it will be a loot hoarder and i would love that, the devs don't want other players to be stronger than others, but why, that's what progresion is for, i wanted to siege islands and find treasure, better weapons, upgrade my ship, have a private island, fight bosses, it¨s crazy how much the game missed. The game can be fun no doubt about that, but only with people and even that gets boring because after 10 hrs of gameplay you saw everything in the game.
I like what I heard. Oh and you have a beautiful voice... hehe😉
Lol
the cursed sails sounds like an update with flying dutchman
So, is that means that all we can unlock / progress in the game is going to be cosmetics & titles for the next year?
Cool Toy hope not, was hoping to unlock new ships and ammo types. Costume progression not my thing.
Yeah, I mean, I can just stop doing stuff / don't bother participate in events and such, since I am happy with the looks of my pirate, and I don't really care about cosmetics in a game heh
Cool Toy Then you bought the wrong game. Rare said before release this will be a community-cosmetics focused game. They will not have things like unlockable ship types, weapons or anything. Everything will be purchased by gold and cosmetic based only.
Sea of theives is thankfully on Gold Game Pass, so £6 a month for more than just this game is worth it, however, i'd be disappointed if i paid £50 upfront for currently a skeleton framework of a good game. Looking forward to updates which flesh the game out!
So then hopefully it'll be good by the end of the year, I was really excited for this game but was let down when it came out.
Why do I like the outro so much? XD
Prob i big sharks the hungering ship or megadolon
DMR _363 Megladon
@3:50 Wow! So, what you're saying is, they are going to add the ability to go after something and bring it back? Gee, sounds swell.
@4:30 more skeletons? Gee, that's exactly want I meant when I said, "this game needs more content," that it needed even more skeletons. I'm being sarcastic as fuck, by the way, for anyone who hasn't picked up on it.
@6:50 it doesn't sound like three big updates to me. It sounds like they'll be taking existing assets, the mermaids, and making enemies out of them; having us run to get more shit to bring back the the outpost like we do already; and adding more fucking skeletons! lmao, this game was such a disappointment, but I hang onto in the hopes that they fix it.
Michael Tackett do you frequently talk to yourself?
Maybe eventually they’ll add more ranks in the game like every 2 updates add some levels to make it so max is 60 and next 70 but make it so there are ranks higher then legend
Maybe a Sea Dragon for the hunger of the deep? Some things are mythical.
I dont have the game but i would like different cannons for ships, like for example a triple cannon like Davy Jones had.
we need more people at server, we need more enemy variety on islands, we need better ai, we need more items and trade system with other players, we need class and level system, we need chain and grape ammo for canon, we need more story for pve lovers, we need fishing, we need new quest types, we need ... . ..
Sounds like the game should’ve been released in 2019.
It would be cool if their were sirens that will attract ships into sinking by either crashing into rocks or dragging ships into whirlpools and somehow you will have to kill and find them to stop this
What was that first island?
you are german right ? ^^
that dragon is sick looking.
This game got released too early, but I like what it's evolving into
Oh my god 6 content updates in a year no way and FREE OH MY GOD. In a year they're going to add the content that should've been since start for 60+ bucks good job rare " hyped".
So where were they supposed to get funding for the next year? You think games launch because someone on the team says fuck it lets do it now?
Supposedly for the past 2 years they made the 2 ships that are in game rn :d
absolutely right. I mean its not like there are hundereds of hand made riddles quests. All they did was make two ships....
Hey atleast there were some talks that they're making a third type of ship
Your one of those people that think every update that comes to a game near the start is “kept back for money” or “they should of had this from the start” just stfu because they do their best and with games like Destiny 2 they don’t listen to the community where as SoT listen to 90% of feedback and do their best for the great future of the game
This all looks fantastic
Chain Shot, Harpoons, Scatter Shot or even row boats.
Cursed sails could be Flying Dutchman
Mermaids take you back to your ship if you fall off not to kill you so they won't take that away just to turn them into killers you would have to try and swin back to your ship that just sounds dumb
Illuminati hand Yeah I would agree, in my opinion I think they should add sirens as an enemy instead
could be a different clan of mermaids who aren't as fond of humans
And to think...theres assholes out there saying this game was too boring and that people shouldnt buy it. Im SUPER hyped to see what they have planned! Screw those guys who jumped the gun on this game, let them wallow in their Call Of Duty cookie cutter shooters.
ThatTrickyTotter so far nothing has changed. And the Content they plan is hardly what ppl talked about when they wanted more Content.
I would love bigger crew sizes. Have an 8, 12, and 16 man option.
High quality outro
Everyone got too hyped up over sea of thieves and forgot it was only a beta or it had just come out then everyone started criticizing it.
"The Hungering Deep" doesn't really ring a bell for mermaids though. Sounds more like zombies in the sea, or a big creature.
Still waiting for that proper player progression. Cosmetics alone just isn't interesting enough to keep players invested, at least not for me.
But its probably hard to implement that into the game at this point when the game is already out.
Maybe the new ship type is a rowboat
At the end of this year sea of thieves will be brilliant
The best
The problem with this game is people who ain't got a fucking clue what they are doing just stand still and let you do all the work
Yes yes YES!! :3 im so excited like yumeko from Kakegurui !
