    Sea of Thieves is absolutely amazing. There is nothing like that on the market, nothing to compare to. Every session is different, you never know what's going to happen. I've met amazing people on the seas. I have 5k hours already and thirst for more.

    I’ve played AC IV a million times.
    IMO Sea of Thieves is not only the greatest pirate game of all time but one of the greatest sandboxes period.
    There are progression issues, but the stories that come out of this game are unique and breathtaking.
    Been playing since launch and seeing it develop from a empty sandbox into a game with endless things to work towards

    Sea of Thieves is the closest we've come to that MMO Pirate game we all want, but it fell short for me.
    The game released in practically an alpha state, launches are a big deal...The game released with like 3 quests: dig up treasure, kill skeletons, transport.
    The ship battles, pvp, sailing were fun. However, there were no real consequences in this game, you just suicide and respawn generic ships over and over.
    I think if they just waited a few more years and fleshed it out before releasing it could have been really epic. It's a shame because the people who made Sea of Thieves did so many things well, especially being the best age of sail sandbox.

    i'd honestly say that safer seas could've DESTROYED the game. it was a really large risk, but seeing that there is still average pirates or new ones to have fun with and teach in high seas is good. i still have a MAJOR problem with it, and that is: the potential to satisfy BOTH sides of the community. they could've just added the ability to invite ships, so that you can do things like duel your friends, make fun arena-like events, and more. it could've had potential to satisfy everyone in the community (of course, the -70% is deserved, as high risk is high reward, and so it should give off less). because i am absolutely TERRIBLE at game sense and more like that, so i would like to test my skill and practice with my friend that has much more game sense.

    learning about safer seas may be the thing that sells me on the game tbh. i don't really have the time to get good at yet another game's pvp and just getting killed over and over or being trolled because i'd play extremely casually was what kept me from buying it.

    there's so many things i wish they'd add that i dont think would be too much work and most are from black flag, like diving bell, whaling, ice region and an ice cutter for ships and maybe customizations for that. more or smoother progression would also be nice, like something more user friendly than dumping the butt load of titles you have in one thing completely unorganized, filters/sorting for your customizations

    In nearly 200 comments this has surely been touched on already but - The other pirates in the world are just as memorable as the world itself. As SoT is a sandbox, it can’t be understated that not every crew or individual you run into will be bloodthirsty, or that even if they are they will be brainless. The diplomacy that happens with other crews can be magical and lead to hilarious encounters, lasting friendships, and plenty of unexpected happenings.
    This isn’t an indictment of safer seas, but rather that if anyone watches this video and sees that the only clips of human interaction are them being butchered, it’s not always that predicable/simple.

    • @justatiefling9528
      @justatiefling9528 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes! This! Meeting and interacting with other pirates is the reason the game has never become stale or repetitive for me, even during season 9. It always feels different and it's always a blast, even if the other crew is toxic or we get sunk. I've found many great battles and friendships alike in this game, which is why I always recommend playing on high seas. Safer seas is great to start out and get a feel of the combat and other mechanics, but nothing can replace the feeling of being ship guard while your friends clear a fort of the damned and seeing a boat approach. You never know how it's gonna go.

    That’s what I’ve been thinking about the recent changes where a lot of unofficial tech has been removed. I understand removing things like the ladder launch and “alt tab” boarding but not things that have a pretty small impact on PvP like animation cancelling (which exists in practically *every* video game) or harpoon boarding. I have a feeling these changes were made not because there was huge outcry about them but just to make the PvErs who cry on Reddit rejoice that rare is finally doing something about the “toxic exploiting double-gunners” and “balancing” the game but realistically if you lose to someone quickswapping, 99% of the time you lost not because of quickswapping but just because you were outskilled. Little macro-game techniques are especially important in a game like SoT where there’s no powering progression besides getting better at the game through raw skill.

    Sea of thieves is the best Pirate game because of one reason.. there is no other Good Pirate games out there. not that is multiplayers.
    I am not hating on it, but its the fact. Sea of thieves is an game that is one of its kind right now. no other pirate game is the same.
    And that is both an good and bad thing.. good cause it will be rememberable and unique, but bad because it don't really have any rivals.. so not a lot of challenging for the devs to have to make more then the minimum to he game in updates.

    TL;DR - Toxic trolls were ruining the game for casual players and running off those new to the game, and Safer Seas is possibly the best thing Rare has done.
    I've been playing (off and on) for about two years now. Solo sloop, which I learned is apparently the most difficult way to play the game...sooo that's cool. Pirate Legend early on. Then my partner, who is *not* about the PVP, saw how much fun I was having and wanted to join. Tall Tales (yes Pirate's Life is fun and funny) and all that. I did my best to avoid conflict and let those who were looking to attack that she really didn't want PVP, and we met some great folks...but then there were a lot of toxic people who relished the opportunity to completely ruin her day...and said the most amazing things along the way. I can usually hold my own (always hilarious when she and I would sink those bullies time and again), but she couldn't take it and quit. Said she'd never come back. Which made sense. It's a game.
    And then I opened the game and saw Safer Seas. It was a literal godsend. We now play again. I still go to the High Seas when I'm solo (bring it, trolls) and have enough gold to purchase everything in Safer Seas, and we have a great time. It isn't about the rewards but rather relaxing and completing Tall Tales (lol Monkey Island is simultaneously funny and dumb). She also manned the cannons on our sloop as we sunk her first Skeleton Galleon to complete one of the Alliance world events (still isn't the biggest fan of me taking a keg and jumping off our ship to probably detonate myself and their ship).
    Such a great move by Rare.

      I just think they need to ease up the restrictions. Allow full payout just nonemmisary (since the whole purpose is to be a target of PvP for higher rewards).
      Athenas is iffy because pirate legend isn't really about PvP but it attracts a ton of it normally, but I could be on board with athenas voyages in safer seas just with no emmisary bonuses. The whole reputation level limit kinda sucks because it bars a few tiers of voyage quality from being accessed without some time spent on high seas. I'd say the lack of bonuses is enough of a limit on its own as you can make over double the standard rate with emmisary on high seas. So safer seas at 100% payout would still be under 50% the potential earnings of high seas.

Its great for those who are new to really get the chance to learn the ropes up till level 30, or if youve had a stressful few sessions you get a chance to take a break and do a quest or two on the safer seas. Also to do tall tales its great.

      @@SubtleFlow sword lunging is different in the sense that it’s not outright exploitative. The sword lunge was always a feature, the exploitation is a small improvement that allows for slightly faster movements of the original sword lunge mechanic, but the charging animation is still there and a miss still comes with a paralysis for a few seconds.
      Being able to board a ship using the harpoon and incoming waves is pure exploitative though, especially since mostly only sloops or brigs are affected by this and you’re not meant to use the harpoon to board others in the first place.
      If you’re going to go down that route then you might as well say anything can be a feature, including clipping through ships bottom hulls to board. You still don’t see the issue?

    Sea of Thieves is GREAT for new players, but once you play for a few weeks you realize how bad it is. Server lag, hit registration making bullets do no damage, the toxic community that think that people need to leave them alone despite being pvpve, and the abysmal amount of new content per update, in a year, 2 updates dropped. Guilds (a menu), and a new voyage. And the QoL season, adding a new chest. Keep in mind seasons are supposed to last 3 months, but with the amount of delays season 10 got, season 9 lasted for 9 months!! Even season 11 isn't bringing much to the table, reusing the hourglass queue area, revamped voyages, and new company items. Season 11 is what you expect a normal season to be, but with the last 2 bringing nothing new, it's tough to trust the games stability. Oh and I forgot, 5 years since release and NO ANTICHEAT! They say one's coming but theres no release date. Most of the cheaters stopped playing, which also proves how bad replayabilty is in this game.

    Sea of Thieves is great, but for the past year it hasn’t been doing it for me. When they added Hourglass in Season 8 I got my ghost curse and I’ve barely played since then. They need to add something that fundamentally changes gameplay and then I’ll be back, but I don’t regret any of the ~1500 hours I’ve put into the game at all.

    As far as im concerned its the only pirate game ever. Ive played ACIV and tried skull and bones and Sod Meiers Pirates etc and none of them felt as comprehensive as this game. If they keep expanding it its gunna continue to dominate the pirate genre. And with every addition it becomes a greater standard to follow

    It's the best only because noone's tried to do the same formula yet. Skulls and Bones is pretty much guaranteed to be a mediocre disappointment as is Ubisoft's brand, and the stakes aren't even high at all.

    I've never played SOT but something about it puts me off. The aesthetic. I feel like the islands all look the same. The game is always the same. Am I right or should I give it a shot?

  • @doublecrossedswine112
    @doublecrossedswine112 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Is the bar this low? You can get 100 fps in SoT but other human players run across your screen at 12 fps because the servers are dogshit. If it had good servers, I'd agree, but it isn't really even playable if you don't live in the same city as the server you are on.

    Amazes me how many people disagree with this take. Every other pirate game that I've played besides Black Flag is utterly cheeks. This game has everything (besides gore, which I know a lot of you get off on) PvE, PvP, comraderie, anything you could imagineand even some higher level learning. Not to mention it's gorgeous. Best pirate game up to date. Just wish the servers could hold maybe one or two more ships.
