This game needs a Navy to chase after players. And a bounty system too. I don't personally feel like a pirate when every other ship is a pirate ship more or less. I want to feel like a fugitive\criminal thats hunted by the law. Doubt it will ever happen though.
I'd prefer if they expanded the Hunter's Call a bit first. Add new fish. Add new critters. Add larger sea flora that have to be hunted down. Add more "Boss" critters. Things like that. And then I think they could start thinking about giving HC an Emissary.
Probably want to actually give them voyages first. Maybe like merchant voyages, get them 10 cooked pork. And later on, they can send you after mega Landon’s and stuff like that.
3:11 that's the only time we'll see the "legendary" megalodon, the one that never appears in game and nobody has seen yet after years and years from the game release
@@kaizenmarcell how live events work is that past updates hold the info for the live event. So if they made this a live one they woulda had to secretly slip it in with the pass update.
They had no plans to add AI threats, and intended to never add AI pirate crews. The skeleton ships were the first plan to add an AI ship threat into the world, since a lot of their attributes would be incredibly broken in the hands of a player crew, and the community was constantly asking for the skeletons to take to the waves. They've yet to make actual pirate ships sailed by AI.
Now that I look back at when I first started playing SoT, I'm pretty sure I encountered a Shrouded Ghost, but without knowing how rare it was I kept going on my merry way. Makes me feel very salty alright. This update is epic! can't wait to hear new shanties, partake on ghost ship battles, all with more balanced game play and further bug fixes. Thanks Rare!
Adding more to my reply me and my friend were first starting and it was funny enough because it was our FIRST EVER megalodon encounter and it was our first time in fog so we were trying to get to a seapost since at the very beginning we were obsessed with fishing ( we started really playing at the start of Dark Relics ). And then, the music started playing and we heard the roar so we were terrified out of our minds and I only caught one glimpse at it and it was nighttime so the SG fin was glowing white aaand then it despawned because we crashed into the seapost. And only months later did I find out and facepalmed.
I like where this Sea fo Thieves is going. New missions and leveling with the emissary and ghost ship update was where the game needed an update most. I think if they focus on more mission variety maybe a new mission type unlocking every 10 levels in that faction would be great for the game and if they hype a good captaincy update after all of that is done the game could come back permanently and be the pirate game people wanted on original release.
What a great update! Although I didn’t play this game for a while, I will definitely check this update out! But please give us the option to select a name for our ship. Would be a cool little feature
Players are asking for this since release of the game, sorry mate it's too hard for them to dev this, it probably recquire too much work like for the ships supposed to spawn in the Legend Hideout since 2018
If you look very closely when the water splashes, you might be able to catch a couple pixels where the light refracts off of it the right way and you can see the shark through it. Really difficult though, you might need some hawk eyes for it
So order of souls has 2 voyage types now, merchant has 2 voyages types, can only by 3 voyages per 24 in game minutes. Can we get tabs to select what voyage we want to buy? I find myself having to server hop before playing to buy 3 animal voyages or 3 cargo voyages now im going to have to server hop to find 3 ghost ship voyages before i start playing. I imagine gold hoarders will be the next to get a new voyage type. Having tabs just seems like the obvious way to go
Little known tip. You can buy 6 every 24 minutes. Buy all three, while the first is active buy the 4th, while the 3rd is active buy the 5th, while the 5th is active buy the 6th.
Bro, just get rid of a voyage and another will pop up at the faction. Also, keep the event voyages. They never go away. I still have old Reapers run voyages and dark relic voyages.
I love these content update videos, just something about them seems to always draw me in and want to play. Unlike the way other games do it. We have new gun and map. play. Nah, Rare make a great video reeling you in as if it was Merrick himself.
Four request for a future update. 1. Please give players the ability to completely vote troublesome crew mates out of the crew instead of just sending them to the brig where they can continue to stay. At the very least, a time limit where if they stay in the brig for too long, they are automatically kicked out of the crew. 2. Able to add additional crew mates. Example: Three maximum for the sloop, four maximum for the brigantine, and six maximum for the galleon. 3. Allow players the option to invite their friends to the same session without having to join their crew. 4. Please fix the glitch where when a player leaves the crew, you can't invite another player for about 10 to 15 minutes at a time.
The ghost ships are glass cannons, they die after 3 cannonballs. Even solo, with some strategy and effort, they'll be defeatable. As for always being screwed, the game was built around it not even being an included feature but it's still the easiest ship to sail in regards to PvE, with megalodons and krakens sporting reduced aggression and quarter health, and only skeleton sloops attacking. It's also the slowest sinking ship, so it's even better at taking fire and surviving than a galleon.
@@mainsails2892 Well kinda. It's an open world game so there's no path you're forced to follow. But you can start playing all the tall tale story missions that tell you about the lore, and level up your factions to become a pirate legend. But there's also quite some new "freemode" stuff like wrecks with special chests that are marked on the map as a poi.
The way these ships take damage just goes to show that sea of thieves could have some really cool ship destruction graphics, like having the fences on the upper deck be blasted off or the stairs being damaged or the sloop fabric bit ripping. Just sucks that all damage is in the form of holes
My daughter truly loves this game, it would be nice if we could play locally without the grievances of other players assaulting her. I fully understand the intent behind the games original design. And The ethos of pirates being pirates for the sake of being pirates can be quite enjoyable, for mature players. Children, some adolescents, and even some adults do not desire fighting people who have an immeasurably high skill compared to their own. It only lends to the creation of a small social group that enjoys antagonizing other players. The market of people who do not want to interact with that element is not small, I have seen people in the official forums and the subreddit ask for the ability to play either by themselves or in a private server to play with their friends. They are shouted down repeatedly by people telling them it isn't the way the game needs to go. I believe these people to be detractors, a small group of like-minded people who are terrified that their prey will not be so easily taken or readily available to take. When I first read the pirate code I thought that the game would encourage players to work together to overcome obstacles, that there would be mechanics built into the game to help players take on greater risk if they chose to attack vessels with live players. There is no punishment for it, there is no risk. There is no reason to put effort into the game world for your average, or less than average skilled players. There are communities that strive to take over entire servers to keep grief-giving players away from them. This practice should not be required, there needs to be better communication about the future of the game. As enjoyable as it is to receive new, pretty things. There was a whisper about private realms last year, and it has not been touched on since then. Unless I ignorantly missed it, then please, point me to it. I would like to know more. My daughter would like to know more, my friends would like to know more. A lot of people are being torn down for desiring things in your community. Beyond private realms, or PvE / local only play. One friend of mine saw a pirate woman on a tall tale loading screen and immediately decided she wanted to have a character like that. The only downside is she had to randomly roll, for a long time. And even then she didn't get what she wanted. She went to the forums and asked if there was going to be changes to the customization, only to be met by scathing community members telling her "It didn't matter" and "It's not part of the game!" Oh, and this. "You must be a chick, nobody wants this." The filthy underbelly of your community is giving voice against every person who makes a request that flies in the face of what they know, for one reason or another. I typically only leave comments when I am happy, and I typically only leave them on videos where I can see someone doing something that makes them happy. I break this trend now, because I fully expected that with the inclusion of steam there would have been an update addressing how you intend to help the under skilled and frustrated segments of your community.
Im so frickin exited for this update! Its like cursed sails all over again but much more inhanced! I loved the twist that it was flameheart invading the sea of thieves. Now we have two invading fleets, the skeleton fleet and the ghost fleet! I cant even put my exitement to words! Epic jobb guys!!
This video got me very hyped :D I have to say, the updated non-verbal system will definitely come in handy for me :) And I can't wait to play the new shanties!! Keep up the great work Rare! You're awesome!!!
Might as well give up. I started last week... any time I get anything. I'm either killed by pirates "as expected" or I get Krakken or Ghost Ship. Now this... Doubt I'll play again.
It's possible we will also see lone ghost ships as an emergent event in a month or a few, similarly to how the skeleton ships were. Once the fleet is shattered fragments will still be on the Sea, after all.
I have played since beta...leave the game for months...and seeing these type of events make me NOT want to come back. This type of game makes you feel you are way behind if you leave for awhile. I mean...at one point I though PL meant something....now...not so much...
.... But, why exactly?? They don't get "behind" in content, it's all cosmetic rewards. The point is to play the parts of the game you enjoy, it's an open world, not an mmo full of quests lol.
@@matesboat9466 yeah, as it stands that's ask you can do. It just seems to me that a small placard would be a simple, yet rewarding little detail to slap onto the ship (it already exists on the galleon, yet has ZERO function)
@@StygianIkazuchi normally, I would agree... but we're able to name the pets (and although I've not tried naming one a racist/naughty name, it did let me name my cat exactly what I typed in and others who see him can read his name) with little issue, I can't see the boats being much different...
That's the black and orange one? Because I've been attacked by a white one and black and orange one before but was solo and not prepared. Happened on the ride back to an outpost first the white, and then the black with orange fins. Sailed out and then ran into the Kraken and died. Was either the best or worst of my luck in that game.
Wow, I almost feel like jumping back to this game. It still looks like there's not enough variety of content, but I love the dedication of the team behind it! Brilliant job!
I wish it would be easier to play this with a one Player or two Player ship but I know that even if I manage to do something in this Event or any other Event a 4 Player ship will come and destroy me, it s always like that, so I guess I have to pass again on this hope they make it a lil bit more enjoyable for people like me
I feel you m8. Been playing this game alone for a long time and most of the time I can do only a few things because random players in a crew decide to bully other players like me by killing me on my ship over and over, that s why I quit this game....
It's entirely possible that these are like emergent events, where their difficulty is scaled based on the the ship type. And look on the bright side: a sloop has fewer places the Wraithballs can hit them, so you have fewer holes to patch!
@Spencer Roper I am trying but many Times it aint that easy because players in sea of thieves are persistent and if you are unlucky things like the Kraken, skeleton ships come in your way, another great Deal is, if people are already at the outpost or follow you to the outpost you can t possibly run forever or would you have fun to sail with your sloop all around the map just to get rid of a few players
Insiders can FINALLY talk about Flameheart in the sky!! 😀 Holy moly! I've been biting my tongue to keep from slipping on this addition to the fleet battle. I can't wait to hear people's tales of how he grilled them during combat. The sail rewards for sinking the Ghoulies are cool and all, but can we talk about the ANIMATED Blighted figurehead!? 😱 The moving fingers are so dang creepy. A lot of people are going to love that. Plus free emotes! Brilliant job to the whole Admiral (dev) team! 👏👏👏
Looking back at this, and seeing the "Flag Ship, The Brutal Burning Blade" comparing it to now. I can say now that it was a good thing they didn't show the current design in ghost form back then.
By the way I think that this is the best update ever because it adds a new thing to fight instead of just megs,skele ships and krakens and players and it adds more reasons for me to return to the game
yeah until you do this raid which is the same as all the other raids they added (skeleton forts, skeleton ships, meg). You'll get used to this and then get bored again. of course until they release another update adding a tiny little something and you'll come crawling back saying how much fun it'll be.
Yes!!! A stat report to see how many krakens, players, skeletons, and things we've slayed and how many miles we've sailed!!! This would be incredible to look at!!
I got back into the game after 4-5 months and I gotta say I’m glad to be back on open waters. I attempted to fight this event first this with my crew. Ended up destroying 4 player ships and making off with all the damned loot
solid update, love the new shanties too! for me the things that should be added for pure balance should be these: everything is buyable and sellable, cannonballs, fruit, planks and some select cursed cannonballs. this balances it out and gets people playing quicker. row boats, and empty chests should buyable too. respawn your ship at any outpost for gold or respawn naturally (only if your sinker isnt in the immediate area) blocking needs to be more responsive after swings, cut back the timer to being able to block the moment your hit strikes, blocking should block gun shots too and even cannon balls? that could be veryyyyy cool cuz its not luck but skill then, plus imagine how cinematic blocking cannon balls could be, also block shark hits. and the final thing to consider is when a whole crew and ship is dead and sunk, put them in a new server but only if they are all dead by another players hand, 1 player could survive, swim to an outpost and respawn a ship for gold to go get revenge or go to a new server to stop that player repeatedly killing them, their quest and voyage progression saves and dead is dead, idk how viable that would be on maintanance but it sure beats a server merge 😂 this last ones just a fun idea: sneaking by pressing the right analogue stick, makes you crouch and your name tag disappear, if you cant be asked to do that then set a single emote to that button for the time being. also if you sneak up on a skeleton you can press X to stealth kill but only on npcs. maybe even add an unlockable dagger through a quest that grants this feature, play in pure stealth. but sot has alot of unfair advantages, might as well make them controlled. id love a tall tales quest to unlock the dagger weapon my phones keyboard is terrible but thanks for reading
This was the update I joined the game with, I’ve beat him with my friends and after coming back epic music played and blasted the ships with a new galleon, jeez that was epic. But Flameheart just doesn’t shut up
I really wish we could get the glowing hull that those ships have. But what I'm honestly most excited for is the ability to finally pick which song I'm going to play!
You guys should make it so you can recruit skeletons to join your crew and help you fight. You can also give them commands like raise anchor and use the cannons plz make this an update
New AI enemies that aren't skeletons. Sign me up.
For real though
Plot twist: ghost skeleton crew
Well you do turn in ghost skeleton skulls. So there’s your answer.
Bruh they're reskinned skellies. Heck not even that. They just turned the bloom up to max.
This game needs a Navy to chase after players. And a bounty system too. I don't personally feel like a pirate when every other ship is a pirate ship more or less. I want to feel like a fugitive\criminal thats hunted by the law. Doubt it will ever happen though.

As for always being screwed, the game was built around it not even being an included feature but it's still the easiest ship to sail in regards to PvE, with megalodons and krakens sporting reduced aggression and quarter health, and only skeleton sloops attacking. It's also the slowest sinking ship, so it's even better at taking fire and surviving than a galleon.

When I first read the pirate code I thought that the game would encourage players to work together to overcome obstacles, that there would be mechanics built into the game to help players take on greater risk if they chose to attack vessels with live players. There is no punishment for it, there is no risk. There is no reason to put effort into the game world for your average, or less than average skilled players. There are communities that strive to take over entire servers to keep grief-giving players away from them.
This practice should not be required, there needs to be better communication about the future of the game.
As enjoyable as it is to receive new, pretty things. There was a whisper about private realms last year, and it has not been touched on since then. Unless I ignorantly missed it, then please, point me to it. I would like to know more. My daughter would like to know more, my friends would like to know more. A lot of people are being torn down for desiring things in your community.
Beyond private realms, or PvE / local only play.
One friend of mine saw a pirate woman on a tall tale loading screen and immediately decided she wanted to have a character like that. The only downside is she had to randomly roll, for a long time. And even then she didn't get what she wanted.
She went to the forums and asked if there was going to be changes to the customization, only to be met by scathing community members telling her "It didn't matter" and "It's not part of the game!" Oh, and this. "You must be a chick, nobody wants this."
The filthy underbelly of your community is giving voice against every person who makes a request that flies in the face of what they know, for one reason or another.
I typically only leave comments when I am happy, and I typically only leave them on videos where I can see someone doing something that makes them happy.
I break this trend now, because I fully expected that with the inclusion of steam there would have been an update addressing how you intend to help the under skilled and frustrated segments of your community.
Im so frickin exited for this update! Its like cursed sails all over again but much more inhanced! I loved the twist that it was flameheart invading the sea of thieves. Now we have two invading fleets, the skeleton fleet and the ghost fleet! I cant even put my exitement to words! Epic jobb guys!!
I just played and its stupid how many ghost ships there are, I can't even do my quests normally
That's how I felt before this update. I am a solo new player. Doubt I'll ever play this again...
@@curtismartin9054 I'm solo too, there was abt 7-9 ghost galleons chasing that you can barely escape and I had barely played 5 minutes
Curtis Martin The game is not meant to be played solo. Get someone to play with and you will have so much more fun.
The games a bitch to get used to. Find a crew and stick with them you'll break in
Then ur not playing properly, just avoid the ghost ships :/
We didn't realize how much we loved him until he was gone
Yep :(
3:10 LIES!!!
STOP that meme is just stupid
Incorrect. I’ve seen it and killed it. I’ve got Hunter of the Shrouded Ghost as my title’
@@ashleyclayton4309 incorrect you are being paid by rare
This video got me very hyped :D
I have to say, the updated non-verbal system will definitely come in handy for me :) And I can't wait to play the new shanties!!
Keep up the great work Rare! You're awesome!!!
I am playing sea of thieves did my first ghost ship battle died in a few minutes harder then expected need a lot of cannon balls
in pvp or pve ?
LordToastie i have sea of thieves from when it released and i played my first battle against the ghost ships and it is pretty hard solo
Might as well give up. I started last week... any time I get anything. I'm either killed by pirates "as expected" or I get Krakken or Ghost Ship. Now this... Doubt I'll play again.
@@speedforce8970 No... It's terrible for beginners.
@@curtismartin9054 not with that attitude
Players: wow how much new content are you gonna add?
SoT devs: yes
Bro I swear I can’t keep track of the content
Q: are these ghost ships going to be permanent AI or just for a event?
Permanent addition. Never roaming. Event(Raid) will cycle with others like skelly ship raid and forts. Also permanent voyage for order of souls.
It's possible we will also see lone ghost ships as an emergent event in a month or a few, similarly to how the skeleton ships were. Once the fleet is shattered fragments will still be on the Sea, after all.
I just don’t want to miss out any of the cool things and rare rewards too!
Permanent but I'm not sure about the sails
love how u guys put the meg as the shrowded ghost the one meg that i doubt any of us watching will get unless we are lucky
Imagine being a new player to this game. I can see why so many people give up after a week of playing...
Why should / do they?
I have played since beta...leave the game for months...and seeing these type of events make me NOT want to come back. This type of game makes you feel you are way behind if you leave for awhile. I mean...at one point I though PL meant something....now...not so much...
@@uberkull9326 so new content is bad? I swear you're the same people that complain that the game is "too repetitive"
@@uberkull9326 how do you get behind in this game, its all cosmetic
.... But, why exactly?? They don't get "behind" in content, it's all cosmetic rewards. The point is to play the parts of the game you enjoy, it's an open world, not an mmo full of quests lol.
This is still my favorite update
Oh snap!! Can I name my ship yet?!
@@matesboat9466 yeah, as it stands that's ask you can do. It just seems to me that a small placard would be a simple, yet rewarding little detail to slap onto the ship (it already exists on the galleon, yet has ZERO function)
@@Honest_Grifter They're probably trying to find a foolproof way to prevent racist and inappropriate ship names from being made
@@StygianIkazuchi normally, I would agree... but we're able to name the pets (and although I've not tried naming one a racist/naughty name, it did let me name my cat exactly what I typed in and others who see him can read his name) with little issue, I can't see the boats being much different...
Rare you are the best game developers you listen to your community and keep on pumping out content and we applaud you for that
I see we're still pretending the Shrouded Ghost exists
That's the black and orange one? Because I've been attacked by a white one and black and orange one before but was solo and not prepared. Happened on the ride back to an outpost first the white, and then the black with orange fins. Sailed out and then ran into the Kraken and died. Was either the best or worst of my luck in that game.
@@joshuapiatt9796 the shrouded ghost is white and pink
Wow, I almost feel like jumping back to this game. It still looks like there's not enough variety of content, but I love the dedication of the team behind it! Brilliant job!
It's WAY better than the first few months of the launch atleast, i just came back from 2 years off. Having a great time.
I wish it would be easier to play this with a one Player or two Player ship but I know that even if I manage to do something in this Event or any other Event a 4 Player ship will come and destroy me, it s always like that, so I guess I have to pass again on this hope they make it a lil bit more enjoyable for people like me
I feel you m8.
Been playing this game alone for a long time and most of the time I can do only a few things because random players in a crew decide to bully other players like me by killing me on my ship over and over, that s why I quit this game....
It's entirely possible that these are like emergent events, where their difficulty is scaled based on the the ship type. And look on the bright side: a sloop has fewer places the Wraithballs can hit them, so you have fewer holes to patch!
@Spencer Roper I am trying but many Times it aint that easy because players in sea of thieves are persistent and if you are unlucky things like the Kraken, skeleton ships come in your way, another great Deal is, if people are already at the outpost or follow you to the outpost you can t possibly run forever or would you have fun to sail with your sloop all around the map just to get rid of a few players
Love it as always. Thanks rare team for still updating. Stay safe.
The shrouded ghost was in this video. It is a lie. Ergo this WHOLE video is a lie. Kinda sad we're not getting an update this month.
F
Its not a lie kid
@@captainclouds6232 your incapable of getting a joke kid
@@fatyoshi447 its not a joke. Hmm lets see in ur vids if u r a kid
@@fatyoshi447 U DONT EVEN HAVE VIDS😂😂😂
One way to describe this AWESOME
DAAAAYYYYUUUUMMMMM RARE! Great update, stay safe, and keep up your amazing work!! SoT is rising to the TOP BABYYYYYYY!!!!
Insiders can FINALLY talk about Flameheart in the sky!! 😀 Holy moly! I've been biting my tongue to keep from slipping on this addition to the fleet battle. I can't wait to hear people's tales of how he grilled them during combat.
The sail rewards for sinking the Ghoulies are cool and all, but can we talk about the ANIMATED Blighted figurehead!? 😱 The moving fingers are so dang creepy. A lot of people are going to love that. Plus free emotes!
Brilliant job to the whole Admiral (dev) team! 👏👏👏
Sticher’s Sorrow on a hurdy-gurdy sounds absolutely incredible!!
Looking back at this, and seeing the "Flag Ship, The Brutal Burning Blade" comparing it to now. I can say now that it was a good thing they didn't show the current design in ghost form back then.
I swear you guys have the best ideas for games and the best ideas for updates
Don't even play this game but I can see how much effort is they put in to make it enjoyable
Great update like always!!!
I love that you can pick your own shanties to do now instead of it being on a random chance
By the way I think that this is the best update ever because it adds a new thing to fight instead of just megs,skele ships and krakens and players and it adds more reasons for me to return to the game
yeah until you do this raid which is the same as all the other raids they added (skeleton forts, skeleton ships, meg). You'll get used to this and then get bored again.
of course until they release another update adding a tiny little something and you'll come crawling back saying how much fun it'll be.
@@gorgiablessins3522sdf you've just summed up my feelings for this game
This looks freaking amazing!
This game is just too perfect now. The new songs are my favorite
Things are about to get spooky
We need a stats area! A quick and easy spot to look at our k/d, sunken ships, time played, skeletons killed, forts completed, etc etc
Yes!!! A stat report to see how many krakens, players, skeletons, and things we've slayed and how many miles we've sailed!!! This would be incredible to look at!!
Brittany York that’s what I’ve been saying lmao
They've been killing it with these updates lately!
It would be nice to see also a bounty system, and maybe navy ships that will hunt down pirates. That way we will feel more like pirates/criminals.
I got back into the game after 4-5 months and I gotta say I’m glad to be back on open waters. I attempted to fight this event first this with my crew. Ended up destroying 4 player ships and making off with all the damned loot
It’s unbelieveable how much work they keep putting in
2:09 i already know welyn is gonna be using this one to its its fullest
He is the reason I got this game, and I am not disappointed. Worth the money
Nice
now please Rare, add a poll where we can vote for Shanties we'd want to see in the game.
YYYYEEEESSSS finally the update is here!!!
solid update, love the new shanties too!
for me the things that should be added for pure balance should be these:
everything is buyable and sellable, cannonballs, fruit, planks and some select cursed cannonballs. this balances it out and gets people playing quicker.
row boats, and empty chests should buyable too.
respawn your ship at any outpost for gold or respawn naturally (only if your sinker isnt in the immediate area)
blocking needs to be more responsive after swings, cut back the timer to being able to block the moment your hit strikes, blocking should block gun shots too and even cannon balls? that could be veryyyyy cool cuz its not luck but skill then, plus imagine how cinematic blocking cannon balls could be, also block shark hits.
and the final thing to consider is when a whole crew and ship is dead and sunk, put them in a new server but only if they are all dead by another players hand, 1 player could survive, swim to an outpost and respawn a ship for gold to go get revenge or go to a new server to stop that player repeatedly killing them, their quest and voyage progression saves and dead is dead, idk how viable that would be on maintanance but it sure beats a server merge 😂
this last ones just a fun idea: sneaking by pressing the right analogue stick, makes you crouch and your name tag disappear, if you cant be asked to do that then set a single emote to that button for the time being. also if you sneak up on a skeleton you can press X to stealth kill but only on npcs. maybe even add an unlockable dagger through a quest that grants this feature, play in pure stealth. but sot has alot of unfair advantages, might as well make them controlled. id love a tall tales quest to unlock the dagger weapon
my phones keyboard is terrible but thanks for reading
you can dodge a shark bite by going under it as it bites
These developers are jeffing awesome. So impressed with all the content updates
I remember when people used to complain this game was dry, and now it has reached trending
Yeah, because is was dry... people were mad because they charged $60 for an unfinished game lol
This is the best game with the best dev team
DAMN THIS UPDATE LOOKS SICK SOT! YALL DID A GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the update I joined the game with, I’ve beat him with my friends and after coming back epic music played and blasted the ships with a new galleon, jeez that was epic. But Flameheart just doesn’t shut up
Bring it on!
I really wish we could get the glowing hull that those ships have. But what I'm honestly most excited for is the ability to finally pick which song I'm going to play!
It's getting better and better
You guys should make it so you can recruit skeletons to join your crew and help you fight. You can also give them commands like raise anchor and use the cannons plz make this an update
This is even better than I thought!!
I LOVE THIS UPDATE IVE LITERALLY MADE 200K PLUS JUST DOING THE GHOST FLEETS ITS SO MUCH FUN IVE BEEN GRINDING ALL DAY SINCE IT DROPPED
Finally new phrases, very helpful as an Xbox player.
