I dislike that art style. I think any game that uses it is cheaping out from doing real art work and they think they cater for the kiddies out there.

Also, this specific game seems lost and the devs themselves don't know what's going on. I am not interested in this thing in the least and I think it will fail.

Don't do games for the sake of doing them. Do a game when you have a game in mind.

Feel like this could get old fast. Hopefully not. Not a lot of role-playing potential as I thought there would be. I think cosmetic items and a competitive playlist would help make it more replayable.

This game is literally just a adventure RPG. There is no story, there is no purpose, there is no guidelines. It’s literally a pick up and play.

There's many things in the game that isn't in beta that we have no idea about yet. And as far as progression system for weapons isn't needed.. I'm tired of "tryhards" complaining because they need a advantage "crutch" over people rather than skill. Shit like PUBG there is absolutely no progression yet It's popular. I'm for some sort of progression but nothing giving advantage over the other.. It isn't that kind of game.

Will Smiff
Will Smiff - 6 years ago
I really like the idea of this game, but I don’t know how I feel about the progression. Cosmetic only progression sounds really boring, and the game could easily be balanced and skill-based while still having a variety of different physical customization options. Maybe a musket with two shots before a reload, but that reload takes twice the time. A ship hull material that takes less damage but has a longer repair time. These options could be easily balanced within the game without having a direct advantage over the items the player starts with. Hopefully the devs address some of the flaws with progression, this game has a huge amount of potential.

Vote to brig system is kind of garbage. And it's certainly not inventive either, it's just a slight adjustment on vote to kick systems. And it's terrible for the same reason vote to kick systems are. It's a much better tool for trolls than against trolls. It's simply a lot harder to coordinate random people to lock up a troll than it is to coordinate trolls to lock up or kick an innocent player. Infact the brig system is even better for trolls as kicking somebody as a troll isn't as satisfying as getting a reaction from somebody who gets locked up. So trolls are even more incentivized to abuse this system over vote to kick systems which are already predominantly used for trolling.
Anthony Arnold
Anthony Arnold - 6 years ago
Games like these have to have a good progression system. This is not league of legends or counter strike, where some cosmetic items will cover it. Those games are all about progressing in reaction time and skill. This game has very limited PVP interactions, and will take like 20 hours to master. You need a good incentive for the hardcore fanbase because ultimately after 2 months, that’s all you will have left. No matter how appealing and “welcoming” this game is to the casual player; they will quit so soon, especially if they don’t have friends. This games nitch is a hardcore fanbase progression story and system, without that this game will flop exactly how Destiny did.

#8 issa noooooooo, game looks great but it won't last. The journeys don't vary enough to keep people playing for no reward. Cosmetics are cool but there needs to be something that can provide an advantage or there is no progression. It will have a small community of devoted ship to ship fighters but will dwindle unless the system is changed. Currently you grind gold to unlock voyages to grind more gold.

A Completely Generic Duck
A Completely Generic Duck - 6 years ago
Everything about this game looks amazing, but the huge glaring problem I see is the progression system. Sure cosmetics are fun, but there desperately needs to be an actual way to progress, to become better. There is barely any incentive to actually attack other ships other then that its just fun, which is a great incentive for the first few days of playing, but would quickly get old. Sure the new players have an equal advantage to the older ones, but that really makes it no fun for the older ones. Gold should be able to buy you newer and cooler actually important items, that way the players with less stuff have a risk-reward choice, they could avoid the big baddies, or try and take them on. If they attack, sure they're out-gunned, but if they play strategically enough, they could take over the ship, getting these greater items as well as a potentially greater ship. You could play risky like this, or follow the regular quests to get stronger, up until your able to take on these bigger ships more easily. The lack of this feature entirely really makes everything you "accomplish" not feel like accomplishments anymore, since your still equal in strength to those just starting out. This type of game is perfect for this kind of progression, but if it simply isn't there then there ends up not being much of a point. I'm definitely buying this game as well as my friends, and we'll likely have a blast, but I fear that if they have no sense of progression we'll quickly have no reason to come back to the game and stop playing.

Andy Brown

With such a heavy focus on multiplayer based gameplay, once the numbers start drop slightly due to folk getting bored of the gameplay loop or simply friends move to a new game this will haemorrage players and die a death.

Multiplayer focused games also lack the longevity to justify the price tag given to them, so this could sadly be the swansong title from what was a really good studio before ms consigned them to kinect hell.

Without other players the world looks pretty empty and bland once you look past the nice water graphics.

Small ship is little more than a token nod that folk might try solo, nigh on impossible to steer, shoot and repair a ship being attacked by even a pair of players on another ship.

Ok I still want to know the following:

2. Can I play with more than 3 other Friends on a ship? It kind of annoys me a lot, if the max count is 4 Players on a ship with 8 guns, a Captain, a Watcher, and a Card Reader...or however they are all called.
adam g

IDK if I agree with the devs that the story will write itself from pvp encounters and that gear shouldn't be upgradeable. We will want upgrades that go further than cosmetics otherwise it feels like the grind is just a waste IMO. Hopefully they will add more ships, a good variety with different strengths and weaknesses would be great and help keep the game relevant. Sea monsters we're a great addition
00 7
00 7 - 6 years ago
Having it as a single player option would be better because the hype will die out quick because it's a very repeatative game, there's no other ships exluding online players which would be better to attack British, Spanish, Dutch, French and trade ships and online so all you literally do is go back and forth collecting and selling chests and that's pretty much it really.

Screw the AAA games with their greedy policies, Indie developers are making bringing up unique games that the industry desperately needs right now.

Sea of Thieves is a must buy game for me.
The hardest part is that now I just need convince my friends to buy it too, so that we can go on a voyage together and relieve other players from their belongings and booty.

The whole point of only cosmetics is to prevent giving players a flatout advantage over each other that can be abused with in game bullying or the like.

Keep in mind you can also steal treasure/loot from other crews on other ships.

At the same time perhaps their should be a way to build a private base you can expand on. A secret hide away only those players can access to store different ships and gear. Or for other things like building a private town based on preferred factions.

Also perhaps there should be finding equipment. As in what you get is what you find, build, purchase or steal which allows players to develop for specific play styles.

Solo players, for example, can build hard to see vessels of dark wood and small size to raid ships while the crew is away. Maybe even find a grappling hook to help get aboard at further distances.

Equality is essential in this game since it's all about piracy, which means that anything you do will be either for your own benefit or your crew. This also means players with flat out better gear will ALWAYS beat smaller crews without it. Or at least most of the time.

Having 'sheep' players would be really bad.

Remember, this is still a competitive game in nature. Even if it is only friendly competition.

I think that this progression system has potential. Weapons won't get better but this doesnt mean that there are no rare items. Maybe you can get bigger bases and ships that look cooler or just all kinds of different looking items. It is exactly like rocket league, not boring at all.

2 things that will make me sad if they aren't in the game.
1. Ability to have a parrot. Just...come one. Its a pirate game.
2. SOME form of ship customization. Any. Whether that be simply choosing the icon for your ship/sails, choosing preset color schemes, or even "fully" customizing it be getting to pick icon, sail color, ship color, trim color. Even if those are things that you have to save up to buy with your gold (considering you just get a ship and immediately get a new one if it sinks). I just feel like that HAS to be SOME form of ship customization, otherwise they are missing a massive opportunity for replay-ability. LIke if I have to save up a thousand gold or so to be able to make my ship pitch black all the way around, you can bet your ass I'll be doing that!

What would be cool is if you could build base type stuff like maybe you find an island you like and want to build a fortress. That would be cool and it would give me more incentive to keep going and would be cool to try to get treasure and fight other player built fortresses. With the player limit I don't think it would be crazy the amount of fortresses and I think you should only be able to claim one for a fortress. If you have alliances or something they can cash in treasure or buy stuff. Kind of like that

I really think there should be different tiers of rarity for weapons and equipment(R&G and unlock based). Even if it’s purely aesthetic, it would still give the game way more replay-ability.

Obviously the developers don't want this game to turn into Ark: Survival Evolved, where veterans can grief the shit out of new players and make the game nearly unplayable for them. But at least for me the complete lack of a progression system would make it feel old and repetitive really fast. What's the point of questing if you don't feel like you're evolving somehow?

Why would I play a MMO game about loot, withou RPG elements, if im not using that gold to get better and do harder quests and win more gold and so get to do more interesting things?
I dont know, i feel like this game may get repetitive real easy, they should have done a leveling system and split the map into areas, not with invisible walls but lets say outposts or creatures that would attack players on sight and only skillfull or high level players would have access to certain areas with harder and more rewarding quests, also better loot,
That way end game would be interesting with new things to do and something to aim for except a new pair of boots

Just played a whole day by myself with no crew and it isn't too bad. Just need to be crafty when other ships are around, especially the full crew ships.

In my opinion, Sea of Thieves has nailed the core gameplay, it's very fun and engaging. But I don't think, personally, that it's enough to make people keep playing it. I think it could have a bit more features, like in Sid Meier's Pirates! Game: trading ships that you could board, military ships from different countries (France, England, Spain) to which you could swear allegiance to, big cities with different defenses that you could either visit/shop in or ransack and maybe your own Pirate Den in an island you could outfit to your liking.

Another microsoft ploy then [forcing you to buy either an xbox or windows 10, just like Age of Empires IV].
That's me NOT buying the game then! They should not be allowed to do this is it's like an 'monopoly'.
They are quite stupid [their sales department] as I know a lot of people who would have bought it, are not
now. I suppose they see sales in their console/win 10 going up to compensate! Good luck to them as

What words am I putting in your mouth? When you complain about something where the only way to fix it would be to remove it then you don't like the system in the first place. But you can go ahead calling me a troll instead of providing any sort of constructive criticism.

I really don't think that removing the brig would fix anything if everybody who is not you turns out to be a troll. If I was put on a team with a bunch of trolls I would quit brig or not, and you should too. Making up hypothetical scenarios has no impact on it.

Played this a few hours today. Game is beautiful on the One X. But if I'm totally honest it gets old VERY fast. What you see in these clips is about it. You travel to random islands get a chest and turn it in. Rinse and repeat. Or you could attack another player(s) ship. Killing enemies gives you nothing. You don't get experience or get loot from them which just feels wrong. As he said there's also no progression or real benefit to doing all these things beyond cosmetics. It could be SO much better and as a beta tester I intend to make my case.

Steve Larry
Steve Larry - 6 years ago
Great assumption there, Mr. Totally a Real Market Annalist. From all of the people playing the beta, witch might I add has only a fraction of the content, and from actually playing the game I have arrived at the conclusion that you might not be able to predict what's going to happen to an extremely hyped extremely popular game before it's even released.
David J
David J - 6 years ago
Then it will fail.
Steve Larry
Steve Larry - 6 years ago
Because it's not an RPG and it doesn't want to be one, and that seems to be working out fine. Any sort of actual progression would turn the game into a complete disaster.
David J
David J - 6 years ago
I'm saying as it is right now there's not enough to do and not enough reward for doing it. The thing that makes this game unique is that it's a unique setting and beautifully constructed universe that's perfect for an RPG yet it has nothing people like about RPG's in it. No classes, leveling, or gear upgrades for time spent. I can't fathom this game succeeding unless it adopts more conventional RPG elements. Shooting yourself out of a cannon and doing redundant quests for gold that hardly buys anything worth it doesn't scream replay value.
Steve Larry
Steve Larry - 6 years ago
You can get gold from killing players if they have chests. You can't blame the game if you attack players leaving a port.

This game has tons of potential we just need to see it happen. I am very excited for this game though.

If there is no leveling system and no reward for the player specifically besides money and a level number increase then I am going to be disappointed in the game. Are the only npc enemies in the game skeletons and sharks? Come on an open world with no diversity besides the shape of the island and maybe a cave? I hope there is more that they haven't shown us: bigger ships, more weapons, upgradable cannons (maybe you choose a grappling hook to reel in a ship but thats one less cannon that can do dam, or maybe you want all dam. and you upgrade certain ones with fragmentation cannon balls, or maybe you just want to burn down ships and you have molotov cannons but it dam the loot if youre not careful). I want to have, for a lack of a better name, a pirate hq that you can customize with your crew. I want giant bosses (kraken? cthulhu? or boss pirate ships with npcs?). I want crazy quests that could only be achieved in a pirate game, loot and plunder a village or a british fort, and the bigger the fort the rarer the loot.). And certain skill based missions (sink 50 ships etc.) that reward the player with weapons cool cosmetics for you and your ship. I wish the weapons were player specific so maybe you like sniping so you get the rifle but you dont get the shotgun etc. and are at a disadvantage at close range so being successful at combat is dependent on having a diverse crew. I feel like i haven't seen a lot of this in the early access walkthroughs and I hope they didn't add it in the closed beta because they want that to be left for full release. And for the love of god if its only islands and no major ports I am seriously going to be sad.

In my opinion (150+ hours played in all the demos) the game right now it's not worth 70 bucks. Basically after 20/25 hours you have done everything. The only feature really good is the battles between boats, but servers are so small so you meet 1 boat every 2-3 hours

having played the beta a LOT, the game is incredibly average. theres nothing to do, no sense of objective, no direction, no character interaction, no item collecting, no equipment, no interactables (apart from.. barrels... thats literally it) no lore, no collecting, NOTHING that ANY typical open world multiplayer game should have. The only things the game really has going for it are its ASTONISHING water textures and graphics, an incredibly fun and semirealistic feeling set of sailing controls, and an overall pleasant atmosphere WHEN the game is sunny and clear skyed out. I've found however, that 85% of the time, the game is going to consist of bland filters of green grey purple and black, depending on the time of day/night and weather. A game based in a carribean style area should feel tropical, not like some punishment by the weather gods.

I wish this game had a system where you could build your own island/outpost and upgrade it etc. Obv. the game would then have to have the same people come back to the same server but I think it would be a nice incentive for players to come back...maybe just add a feature to upgrade your ship and it'll give the same effect and they can still hop around to whatever server but idk

i think there should be more weapons and that but i think it should be more esthetics then damage etc and have dofferent looking weapons or weapons that do slighty more damage but are heavier so swing or reload slower making it perfectly balanced and a matter of preference as a pose to having progression weapons that just do more damage and become op for example! but if not the prior then defo different skins or buy different weopons that do the exact same but are just different weapons again for the esthetics! players will get bored if they cant spend there money or show off buy buying a katana for loads and loads of gold instead of there cutlass for example or maybe buy jewelry to wear to bling it out

They messed up not putting a original progression system in, imo. I think the game will be fun for awhile, but get boring after 100 hours or so. There will be no reason to keep on playing...
RabidNinja 84
RabidNinja 84 - 6 years ago
Also they could of put in progression that doesn't really effect PVP .

A belt that allows you to carry more items .
weapons that do more damage to A.I ..... example ....... sword of the dead that does 25% more damage to skeletons .
A shovel that digs up treasure quicker .
A compass that has a higher chance of not spazing out in a storm .
New musical instruments that play more songs and sound better .
Boots that minimise fall damage ...... example ....... boots of spring heeled jack -25% fall damage .
Better ship hull vs A.I ..... example ...... hardened wood hull -25% damage from the kraken .
Secured hull upgrade , puts door on the hull that players have to destroy to get to the loot on your ship .
Better ship hull vs running aground ...... example ..... -25% damage from beaching your ship or hitting a rock.

SKILLS

Treasure detection ....... example ....... lvl 1 detect surface chest up to 10 feet , lvl 2 up to 20 feet and so on .
Lung capacity ........ example ....... hold your breath under water longer .
Strong arm ....... example ...... carry two chest at a time .
Lucky devil ....... example ....... lvl 1 25% more loot from chest , lvl 2 50% and so on .

And these are just some of the ones i can think of while typing this , none of which give players a massive advantage in a PVP scenario .
RabidNinja 84
RabidNinja 84 - 6 years ago
Dude chill the fuck out lol ....( Progression simply doesn't work in a game where you can take other player's loot that they got completely separately in PVE.) ? ..., what does progression have to do with that ? ..... people can take your loot in game now , and what are you talking about ( completely separately in PVE ) ? there is no separate PVE , the game is PVP and PVE depending on the players , your comment makes no sense , and the comment i made about the price was a joke , but i'm sure many people think 60 dollars is a lot of money for the game , also this stupid comment ( Progression simply doesn't work in a game where you can take other player's loot that they got completely separately in PVE. ) also makes no sense because there are hundreds of games that work this way , just for an example The Division , you go in the dark zone and higher lvl players can steal your shit , some people like a challenge in their games , there are already youtubers and players of this game getting bored of it because digging up chests for gold to buy more maps to go dig up more chest for more gold gets old real fast .

A really subjective fuckup, and you might realize that if you stopped circlejerking with this random guy to the extent where you think that a company charging sixty dollars and putting the game on the only platform that they would implement intuitive cross-platform gaming on makes them thieves somehow. It's ridiculous.

I would personally prefer everybody have a fun 100 hours then stop playing (Which I highly doubt would happen in the first place) then getting all of your PVE treasure stolen by players who take eighteen hours a day to get the best possible items so they can ruin all of your fun. This would continue until you are a higher level still getting your fun ruined by these people but now you are also ruining the fun of people who are a lower level than you just like you once were.

Progression simply doesn't work in a game where you can take other player's loot that they got completely separately in PVE.

The backbone of the game is already built, and has been built since cosmetic alpha. The game is based around exploring and missions, and some cosmetic items on the side. Games like this get boring after the content in the game is finished, and nobody will play it anymore.
RabidNinja 84
RabidNinja 84 - 6 years ago
If they have loads of good mission content to do like killing the kraken other sea monsters a good story and lure to uncover maybe NPC ships you can take over they might get away with it , its hard to say yet because its in beta and not all the content is in , i do know one thing it needs to have a fuck tonne of cosmetic items in the game if thats all you can buy .

Not the game i thought it was going to be the idea that you need co-op for the game to work sucks.

The vast majority agree with me, it just a noisy minority who keep asking for co-op and crafting
Steve Larry
Steve Larry - 6 years ago
What did you think it was going to be? A pirate game where you don't take/give orders? That's a pretty strange game.

I guess you could play on a solo ship but prepare to get destroyed by crews of people who have a mindset that isn't so selfish. Stop assuming the majority is with you, it really isn't. People play games to have fun, and nothing is more fun than working as a cohesive whole to win gold for your self much faster than you would alone.

There really should be a levels system, you should be able to buy better equipment like swords, guns, unlock special abilities, skills.

There should be a boss system, like in Runescape, you basically fight bosses to have a chance to obtain super rare items from them.

This game could be huge, i hope developers dont screw up, cause it looks like the game is not rewarding and can get boring after a while, if you cant buy anything useful for completing quests

Yeah, fantastic idea! They can make it so if you play longer you have advantages over other players! And then, so you don't have advantages over other players, they match you with people on your same item level! So it evens out perfectly.

Oh wait, that's how the game works right now, just without spitting the playerbase twenty different ways and wasting development time on two ultimately useless systems.

CidGuerreiro1234 - 6 years ago
Matchmaking based on level/skill sucks in literally every game ever, it would suck on this one as well. They just need to find a balance between "no character progression" and allowing veterans to grief on newbs.

I love the idea of adding bounties to player killers though. There could be a guild of bounty hunters where you pay for information (where the player killer is, or his general direction) or buffs against that player in specific. nothing that would guarantee your vicstory, but enough to make people think twice before killing other players and whether or not it's worth the risk.
Bd Diablo
Bd Diablo - 6 years ago
They have to add a progression system or this game will die in months. Not game breaking but something. also they can do match making so people of same lvl are in the same server. Many fixes to the problems about the best people just ganging up on people. They could also add bounties to pirates who are mercilessly slaying people, so other pirate crews team up to take them down.

Mastachops
Mastachops - 6 years ago
What would make this game HUGE also is a trading system/world wide market. Even small things like someone commented early 10% swim speed, Clear scope or even a vault for your ship that needs to be exploded to get to your loot so it takes longer. This game can be a really big game and attract so many people you can't make it a normie game where you can just jump on and explore, because it will run out of content and die. Even small things like making a battlegrounds event where you pay $100 or some shit to enter and the top 5 or something get the money. Or also even a Queuing PVE system where all players aboard one big ship to fight a massive water monster or flying monster or something similar to that and you get the loot at the end. They could definitely take something from other RPG's and make this the first ever good Pirate RPG game, I could go on and on about ideas for this game I just hope they don't mess up.

Bd Diablo - 6 years ago
Yea most of us have lives, it would still be nice to feel accomplished in this game. A simple mechanic as a pistol reloading 5 percent faster, a ship having 15 percent more hp, cannons doing 10 percent more damage or causing bigger holes, buying chain ball cannons that can take out the sails or do more damage, exploding cannon balls, maybe a 15 percent swim speed, a small life boat that you can take ashore and transport more chests in, a scoped rifle that has a little more view distance and clear lens, a safe cage below deck for chests to be stored in that needs to be blown open, a small bilge pump that slowly helps drain water, sails that go 5 percent faster. Idk not game breaking changes but something that you can find off drops, or craft, or buy with gold that makes your boat alittle better for playing more. I dont understand why people want games to be on equal playing feild. If you have a life and choose to spend it having fun irl and someone chooses to play a game to have fun and use their time, why should you be just as accomplished in the game. The other person is probly not as accomplished as you in real life.

I don’t that I’ll play this game. Looks interesting, but there’s no real progression system other than, reputation with factions and earning gold. It doesn’t really have any direction for the player and I think this will cause players to lose interest very quickly. Great concept, but needs better direction and goals other than missions from the factions.....what about end game content? I don’t think this game will last for long.

Melro00sve
Melro00sve - 6 years ago
What you are saying is not entirely correct either. Yes the smaller ship has better movement and turning (in the beta) but you don't have any speed advantage if both sails are correctly aligned on both ships. Hopefully they will fix this in the full game release though because it should be the case.
Fuck You

That is simply not true. If you know how to position your sails, you can tack and dodge the larger ship. Plus, you are faster.

I'm an alpha player and nearly everything you see in the game demos are true. I need to be careful with what I say because every alpha player is under NDA until January 24th. I'm not a Microsoft arsekisser or fan boy and I'm not that to rare either but this is going to be fucking big. The reason is because of the social aspect. You can so easily piss off people on this game as well as so easily make new friends. Social aspect is definitely best of it. The game play is great so is the world but once you start you'll understand why the social aspect is the best part. Also a tip when you start. USE A MIC!

Music isn't a waste of time since you can do it along side other activities, and it is generally good for creative inspiration and putting you in a good mood. As for movies, it really depends on what you watch, you can watch a thought provoking movie that is really well made, or you can watch a throwaway comedy movie, up to you. Toys are good for children to build on to their imagination, especially lego which is really good for their brain. Video games are good if they make you think, or have a really good thought provoking story line, other than that, all these activities are just fun, but if they are a waste of time to you, you aren't getting the long end of the stick in all these cases, which is primarily your fault.

Justin Marks
Justin Marks - 6 years ago
9553shadow whatever dude. I’ve made my point clear and I wasn’t arguing. Game is balanced as is ironically and this clearly isn’t dark souls.

Anyway, devs made their choice and I support and encourage the idea. You can say whatever you wish but I don’t see anything productive coming out of this discussion. Good luck.
9553shadow
9553shadow - 6 years ago
Justin Marks if you are worried about gear and buffs making it unfun and not skill based you should try playing dark souls pvp. You can get destroyed by someone with the worst gear possible while you wear the best gear. All it takes isproper balancing.
Justin Marks
Justin Marks - 6 years ago
9553shadow Sorry man I was just over exaggerating to help illustrate my point. But I know I would prefer if there were no buffs at all. Who knows, maybe they will change their mind. But you should just be aware that not everyone likes advantageous progression systems. It is more of a journey based “create your own story” type of game. Being pitched against someone with buffs still takes the fun out of it in my opinion. Its not a competitive game with ranks and seeing who has the more powerful gear which seems to be the sort of interest that you seem to be looking for, and do forgive me if I’m wrong, it’s just the impression you’re giving.
9553shadow
9553shadow - 6 years ago
Justin Marks man you are just grasping at straws. 300% noone in thier right minds would do that. The maximum increase should be like 30% maybe even less. Also even if you started the game if you are skilled enough you can win against someone who is insanely buffed.
Justin Marks
Justin Marks - 6 years ago
9553shadow that’s a pretty skewed way of looking at it if you think that’s “unfun”. Personally I wouldn’t find it fun if I got beaten every skirmish for my first 10 hours of playing then I’d just play another game.

I can see the appeal in progression but it’s not that sort of game because not all gamers like unfair competition.

Let’s say you do put progression in that buffs your skills. It makes it unfair for those who don’t have those buffs. For example. I have 300% health for whatever reason, I just beat you despite only shooting twice and you hit me 5 times. Simply put, the developers don’t want that type of game. If you don’t want what they are creating then play something more catered to you. I prefer no unfair buffs, you prefer them, no one is wrong they are just two different preferences of games.
9553shadow
9553shadow - 6 years ago
Justin Marks so they are determened to make the game unfun.
Justin Marks
Justin Marks - 6 years ago
I think the idea is to escape from any item advantages from one player to another. Otherwise you'll get situations where crews would win based on mere advantages and buffs rather than skill.

If they were to do that kind of thing it would be best suited to some sort of PVE mode if it was implemented. Fighting off hordes of undead ships with cursed blades and such that give like a 50% damage increase against them. Cosmetic in normal PVP but only useful in that specific circumstance.
Psychoactive

Exp based progression wouldn't work in a game like this, trust me, ive already poured too much time into the Alpha.

And if you bought upgrades like that with gold people would complain that its unintuitive like Fable 3 chests.

Honest man, I can emphasise with your outside opinion, as I was hopeful but sceptical before I ever got chance to play. but if you manage to play the Beta in 3 days time, you'll realise that whats there within the game is immensely fun, like pure unbridled fun, Im a big fan of shooting games and stategy games playing mostly PUBG, Arma, Total War and dabbled in some racing games, so...nothing like Sea of Thieves, but this game is just, it's like an amazing indie game that was given all the funding to do what it always wanted, I mean, notice I havent mentioned visuals once because as gorgeous as it is, they're not even half of what makes this game the master piece it is.

That said, I'll remove my dick out of Rares arse to say this.

Quests give you gold which is spent on everything cosmetic in the game, different swords, hats, pegs, clothes and potentially even ship changes after beta.

You can also use the gold to buy Maps (Voyages)

Regardless I am done with this discussion. You're set in your ways and I'm set in mine. I may indeed one day go to Windows 10, or I may skip it for 11/12 - or whatever Microsoft wants to name their next OS product. "But it is not this day!" :P
Celestial Vengeance
Celestial Vengeance - 6 years ago
I agree Win8 was terrible, but I still stand by my statement.

I have mediocre coding knowledge, enough to see and compare by sight other games. GTA 5, Skyrim, Blackwake, AC4: Black Flag, etc. Those were not made exclusive to Win10. (and yes I included Skyrim esp. now that they've got a 64 bite overhaul, it's able to handle more intensive mods that includes LODs and draw distance)

Win7 still has a couple more years before they stop receiving support, it's true. That doesn't mean it's no longer a viable OS. WinXP is still going for some people because it's a good OS. So I'm not too worried about that :P Besides. Everything is rendered obsolete within time. That's a given.
Chameleon EDM
Chameleon EDM - 6 years ago
Well it was available for free for an extremely long time, I certainly didn't pay for it. It's so much better than 8, that OS was terrible.
I assume you've worked on the game to make that claim? Or have large coding knowledge? The way the waves are rendered along with the seemingly large draw distance would lead me to think that directx 12 could be extremely useful for getting this game to run on lower specced pcs.
Regardless, you're now using a legacy OS, updates will run out and it will be rendered obsolete within time.
Celestial Vengeance
Celestial Vengeance - 6 years ago
Don't get me wrong the game looks hella fun and I'd play it (if I could), but I wouldn't change my OS just in order to play it. And I think quite a few of us non Win10 gamers would agree, and Win7 is still the more popular OS compared to 8 or 10. So I think that's going to lose them quite a few customers. :(

And that's why I think this game is going to fail in half a year to a year down the road. The ones who do play it will probably enjoy it for a bit, until they move on.
Celestial Vengeance
Celestial Vengeance - 6 years ago
Well I don't know about Chris, but I personally think it's a waste of money. It's a glorified Windows 8.1 with a different name. In terms of usage the only thing it brings to the table is DirectX 12, that's about it. It's like taking your favorite game and making it a "Remaster" or "Enhanced Edition" and then putting it back on the market for more money. You get very little out of it that you don't already have.

It's also like upgrading your computer to use 32GB of ram... completely unnecessary. You won't ever need anymore than 16GB (until maybe another decade down the road.. if that).

Sea of Thieves is no different... I'm looking at the graphics and gameplay and nothing of it screams "I NEED directX 12". All these features could've been made in earlier operating systems and still done exponentially well. Win 7 or even 8 (despite how much I despite 8 as well).

You're right about PUBG, but, even before the release, as time went on, as you can see, less people used W10.

Also, a ton of the W10 are peoples laptops with Steam, not their actual gaming computer. I used to use steam (Before their censorship pushed us over the edge) for messaging service on all my devices, and my laptops (Yes multiple) all came with W10.

I absolutely despise W10, and so do all of my friends. So, I'm not upgrading to it, probably ever.

Doesn't matter if it makes sense, the data is still roughly the same. And that gamers are ditching Windows 10 for Windows 7 on the Steam stats only furthers my point. Not everyone wants Win10 :P

Chameleon EDM

Steam usage (aka PC gamers) showed a majority of win10 before PUBG and the massive influx of the Chinese market to Steam. I have no idea where your stats are from but there's no sense in looking at overall usage, businesses don't buy games
Celestial Vengeance
Celestial Vengeance - 6 years ago
You should take another look... rough estimates for the 2017 statistics, (again.. rough estimates) 50% people are on Windows 7, about 30% of people are on Windows 10. And the other 20% make up the other OS like Win 8, or others that I don't care about :P

So no. The majority of people are still on Win 7

You're right.... it'll be dead within 6 months to a year after release :P

At the least on the PC community... not everyone wants to "upgrade" to windows 10 just for a game that 'requires' it. And those that do have it, are probably not many gamers. (All speculation mind you, but still) the big community on this game I feel are going to be those on xbox.

And even then that too will die out eventually when people move on to other games.

It is not an Indie game. It has been developed by Rare (A company owned by Microsoft) over 4 years. Nothing about it is an Indie Game. It is huge and totally worth the full price. Your idea with storing money is good but there are several problems. First if your ship sinks everything you have ever done is gone. Second there would be probelms with sharing the money to the crew members. How are you gonna buy new crew mates? They are real players. Not really possible there. With burrying treasure there would be problems too. It's on different servers every time (with same map). It's not possible to put all chests from every person who ever played on the server there. Also there would be no point on doing so, because it will be on another server the next time you play. Buying more cannons, sails and things like that would first look really dumb having 30 cannons on a small ship and second would leave new players no way to play without getting destroyed. Lastly the game is not just digging up treasure. There are of course treasure maps but also riddles, merchant quests like bringing them rare animals for gold and bossfights. A normal person would be able to have fun playing that game for at least 100 hours. Propably even more.

"overpriced for a casual indie game."

It's not an indie game.
CrazedHamster99
CrazedHamster99 - 6 years ago
@MasterJazz09 The game is going to cost £54.99. That's £15 more than a standard game price so its definitely overpriced for a casual indie game. The game is multiplayer only and has pretty basic mechanics outside of sailing a ship. From the beta we've seen that the gameplay loop is just: go to island -> dig up treasure -> cash in treasure for pointless points -> repeat.

Imagine how cool it would be if you had to store your money in the ships hold instead of selling treasure chests. You'd have to bury it somewhere with a map if you want to keep it safe maybe you could even bargain with eldritch beings to curse the treasure in some way. You could use treasure to hire new crew mates, buy new cannons and sails or even entire new ships rather than just shitty hats and scarves. If you became too rich you could become notorious like Blackbeard and have weaker ships team up to try bring you down and split your buried booty between themselves. You could capture other peoples ships and sell them at ports or even claim it for yourself. Instead of just digging up treasure maybe you could raid AI controlled merchant vessels and do the whole raising the jolly roger thing. The richer the merchant ship the better armed it would be. You know like how real romantic pirates did? Cause last I checked they didn't sail around the seven seas doing bunches of fetch quests.

Its the exact same as No Man's Sky. Really cool idea but all fluff and no decent crunch. Sea looks nice though.

played the alpha, the game is interesting but boring. The quests are insanely boring and the combat isnt fun/intiutive enough to be worth 60 dollars alone. I would buy this for 10-15, but not nearly worth 60

I havent played the game yet but from what i have seen it looks pretty fun however i have to agree with you on its price.
Its insanly overpriced.
In my country it cost 70€ wich i definitley wont be paying unless they release an open beta on wich i can try it out first and see if i actually like it.
70€ is 10€ more than a normal AAA title cost here and since the price doesent include any kind of dlc yet (wich i guess they will eventually add since thats a common practice nowadys) i think its cost is completly unjustified.
In addition to that all my friends think its overpriced aswell and if they dont buy it i wont either since it doubt its fun to play solo.

I realy hope they will lower the price after its released.

Also judging by all the hate you got just because you gave your oppinion the community doesnt sound very good aswell.....

"secondly youre defending a game that hasnt even released yet"

Yeah, but there's tons of gameplay on youtube... so not really an argument that works, sadly... And all the people that pre-ordered gets access to a closed beta for testing... Next closed beta is late january, then there's gonna be even more gameplay of it on youtube. :P

"chances are youre a 14 year old kid with parents who let you play anything else lmoa."

That came out of nowhere, was that part of your second argument, or did you mean to say "thirdly" before it? :P

Regardless, i fail to see how its relevant to anything.

I'm still buying this game though, this game is the first of it's kind and I want to be there day one. My hopes are for decent personal ship customization at the very least.

Hope to see you scurvy dogs out on the coasts and seas, I need more treasure to plunder :y

i really hope for some random events in the game, by this i mean lets say you get a mission from the merchant guys and you have to get the items from point A to point B protected. Point A could either be on the same island you got the mission from in the first place or it could be on another island all together. Well I think it would be super fucking awesome if lets say you get to point A and its raided to shit and all the goods are gone, maybe you could either give up or search the area for clues, find a letter or a piece of a map or something that gives you an idea to where all the goods are and you could hunt them down on a big adventure. And maybe from this you will get paid more or get more items for your crew in return. The game to me just seems very simple. Go get a chest using a ship with a finite amount of supplies, get the chest and bring it back, get paid and use that on more supplies to get another chest, rinse and repeat. I just hope for lots of things to do like instead of being a chest EVERY single time, maybe it had a cosmetic thing for your ship your a trophy you and your crew can flaunt around with on forums or your in-game profile. I'm really looking forward to this game and hope it does good

Keep in mind they've just started revealing some of the progression system, there's a lot more they're not showing just yet. There's also ship customization and hopefully a larger ship verity. Also of note, the items they're showing us now are just the core items, they've stated that there will be more. What those are though, is unclear. My main concern is its lack of content and crew management. I truly hate forced match making just because you have a larger ship, and if I do not have the ability to play with 6 friends than I think that is just unfortunate and not a game worth my money. These are things I am watching closely as we come closer toward its final release.
chris hayate
chris hayate - 6 years ago
A server with a 6 player crew would be fantastic, but they have to be careful to not split up the player base on to many different servers. A game like pubg with it's huge player base can afford that maybe, but we don't know about sea of thieves yet.
Justin Marks
Justin Marks - 6 years ago
They have mentioned through the whole process that whatever this game becomes is based on player wishes. You want 6 player crews and many others want it also? Fair chance they will listen and try it out.

They can do so much with this game. Even a small assortment of mini games if they were available would be a cool feature to have a break from the main experience.
Madao

tbvh, the max player count should be 6... if you've seen how the ship needs to be managed, you'd quickly realize that 4 players aren't enough. Besides, historically 6 men are the minimum to operate a ship.

The progression is personal. You will progress by getting better at the game. Like MOBAs, everyone has the same tools, some are good using them, some are bad. Last but not least, one of the devs teased that titles will be really important in a second stage of the game, that will be presented sometime after the release. I'm thinking of something like the Brethren Court (the pirate council).

yugijak - 6 years ago
Joshua Colantuono The whole point of only cosmetics is to prevent giving players a flatout advantage over each other that can be abused with in game bullying or the like.

Keep in mind you can also steal treasure/loot from other crews on other ships.

At the same time perhaps their should be a way to build a private base you can expand on.

Also perhaps there should be finding equipment. As in what you get is what you find, build, purchase or steal which allows players to develop for specific play styles.

Solo players, for example, can build hard to see vessels of dark wood and small size to raid ships while the crew is away. Maybe even find a grappling hook to help get aboard at further distances.

Equality is essential in this game since it's all about piracy, which means that anything you do will be either for your own benefit or your crew. This also means players with flat out better gear will ALWAYS beat smaller crews without it. Or at least most of the time.

Having 'sheep' players would be really bad.

Well thanks then.
Eh, honestly no, for a couple reasons.
One thing is that I am new to owning an X, so I only have a couple friends on there. Most of my friends are on PS.
SoT will almost certainly be a better time with friends, so I'd likely have a bad time playing solo.
Second thing is that I foresee SoT having a major griefing problem after the initial launch phase. I suppose it makes sense in a pirate game, but that doesn't necessarily translate into a fun experience.
Third, I'm not convinced that SoT will offer much in the way of long term play. They've been extremely quiet about what you'll actually be doing in the game. To me, that reeks of the No Man's Sky marketing ploy.
Basically, I'm extremely skeptical about this game. I'm sure it will sell well for several reasons, but I'm not sure it will viewed as a 'success' when we look back next year.

Martin you've "seen" them play the beta. Not the game, as its not released yet. Do you understand what a beta is? Did ever play the beta yourself?
Martin
Martin - 6 years ago
Matt Deakin Yeah, I have seen several streamers play the game and I have probably seen a couple of hours of footage because it looked like great fun. Until it just became rinse and repeat gameplay wise and I stopped watching. You do quests/tasks in order to do more quests/tasks. Adding more quests to the game is not really adding content to the gameplay. If they don't make ships very customizable to allow many different strategies in PvP battles it will become very linear and boring after a short time. I feel that many people will buy the game and then be dissapointed because of no progression nor strategy variation. But it's fine if you like that kind of games, I'm not telling you not to buy it, it's probably a fine game, just nowhere near what all the hype makes it out to be.
Matt Deakin

Jon Massey couldn't agree more, I love games where I could choose my weapons to fit my playstyle. If I wanted knives for quick sharp cuts up close that would be sweet, or maybe I want a big club to deal tons of damage. I feel they could have added so much to deepen this game and add to the player immersion. I also think that playing so many hours and getting nothing out of it is a letdown but that's just me. Probably won't buy this game but who knows

GoDale jrnation
GoDale jrnation - 6 years ago
MasterJazz09 True, but there's a ton of different characters. Each having their own abilities. Thus the end game reaching your peak at a specific character and or reaching a higher rank. The driving force for OW is its competitive community and that's because majority of players push to be top 500 or even just a high rank/skilled player

To be honest it makes it more inviting. Its really annoying starting any game and being outdone due to better stats and equipment rather than skill. There will always be a learning curve for the first hour or so, but some games you can be 30 hours in and still be beaten by a 400 hour gamer just because of progression.

From your description, tryhards such as yourself will love the game because you seem to have a pretty easy time mastering it. So why would you need items that make you better when you are already mastering the game?

Or maybe tryhards are people who aren't very good at games so they need crutches so they don't constantly get dunked on.

Well, that's just item curses... I know the chest of sorrow has a tendency to flood your ship with water over time... but thats not crew curse or personal curse, that's item curse, tbvh... a curse placed opon an item, i'm talking about curses placed upon the CREW or YOU as an individual.
Patrick Parks
Patrick Parks - 6 years ago
Madao they kind of have that. Certain chests are cursed and will destroy your ship and some make your character drunk when your carrying them.
Madao
Madao - 6 years ago
Well i have an idea as to how Sea of Thieves could be a little more interesting... They already established the pirate world as one of magic and such... So why not introduce a curse system?

For instance, a curse that affects your entire crew, turning them into ghosts, giving them infinite ammo supply, but they still have to go fetch the ammo from the ammo storage and reload the cannons etc, but they cannot step on land or swim... Focusing that crews specialty to pvp only, that's just an example...

Another example would be a fish-man curse, allowing your crew to breathe underwater, but they cannot stay on land for long, kind of like a land-walking timer, if it runs out, you dry up and die... You could extend this timer if you bring a bucket of water with you to pour on yourself to buy some more time on the timer.

Things that basically bring alternative gameplay styles etc. :)

There could be 2 curse slots, crew curse and personal curse... Personal curses could include the black spot, being targeted by the Kraken! :D
GoDale jrnation
GoDale jrnation - 6 years ago
Louis Rangel I see the point you're attempting to make, but the difference between Sea of Thieves and those games you've mentioned is that there is an "end game". That is being the last person or squad standing. It's challenging and there is variety in the game. It gets new players "hungry" for that first win and experienced players always wanting more, because it's so tough. I really want Sea of Thieves to succeed, but I just don't see it making an ever lasting impression when there is nothing keeping you wanting more. Cosmetics are fine, but that isn't enough. Maybe having ship accessories/perks or weapon accessories/perks would be a way to combat that. I for one would love to see more weapons be implemented, nothing over the top but different weapons that have their pros and cons. Keeping the game fair, but yet different.

Once you played a few hours and realize there's no incentive to play and you have done everything over and over again with no real challenge you will find out what stale is.
Matt I WBA
Matt I WBA - 6 years ago
MasterJazz09 You do realise it's the "try hards" that keep games' player bases alive, right? Games would never improve over time if it wasn't for the opinions of try hards who actually take the time to master a game and discuss how the game can be made better...

Having absolutely zero (pretty much) progression is a bad move in my opinion. Using the same items, weapons and ships over and over again will get stale over time no matter if you're a try hard or a casual player. I'm not saying the progression should be substantial in which new players get annihilated by experienced players with much better gear, but there should be some end goal to work towards that keeps players motivated to continue playing and getting satisfaction from their progression. That's just how gaming has evolved, and sadly a lot of games die very quickly if there's little to no progression.

I'm excited for this game, but I have a bad feeling it's just going to turn into another Destiny, No Man's Sky etc, where everyone quits playing because their gameplay experience is always the same. Hope I'm wrong, but I've seen nothing which suggests otherwise.

I think this game looks wicked cool but it's going to be hard to do multiplayer the way it's designed. Not many folks are going to want to sit below deck to read a map, or even sit in a crow's nest with nothing to do but look around. Wicked cool idea, not a long tail on it tho. 10-15 hours that people will play this, max. Which is too bad, because this world has potential to be limitless. But I really think it's going to fall short of expectations.
That Car Guy
That Car Guy - 6 years ago
The crows nest would be fun... sniping people... looking for enemies.. I do agree being below deck can be boring, but i hope and think they will add bigger ships in a DLC with cannons below deck for even bigger crews. But you can also so a lot below deck, get explosives, cannonballs, planks, then you will need to be going to help with sails, anchor, etc. Seems fun
Adam Mott
Adam Mott - 6 years ago
I would actually LOVE a game where I sit in a crow's nest and lookout for danger, knowing I have 7 teammates doing other equally important jobs that we must synergetically accomplish to be successful. This same feature is what I loved about heists in GTA Online, jobs in Payday 2, and instances in FF14. The problem I'm going to have with this game is the bong-ripping, low attention span dimwits who ruin the game for everyone else cause they have no patience, and rush through everything and drop out of the game mid-action.

It's not really normal to have a map guy, literally anyone can do that for half a second and you know where you are going.

Great video, a much needed recap. I've had a lot of fun in the alpha, going after other ships is really addictive. I hope there's some sort of Burnout style revenge system for taking down ships. We put this American guy in the brig, there were a few expletives! It's refreshing to have a game like this with no levels and weapon buffs and all that.

One thing I don't think you mentioned is the forts, islands protected by skeletons with cannons. If you can make your way to the top, there's a reward.

2 blaring red flags on this title.

This is a kids game. Tack on that bs Destiny style leveling system mentioned; and thats not something kids/teens have a big attention span for.

Infomercials and Commercials, thats all hype is... and steam anymore is indie trash catering to kids. As an adult with taste, easier to 1st time play backlog titles. Playing Witcher 2 now, still have Metal Gear, Bioshocks, and possibly Assassin's Creed to tackle. Fact is. This game is garbage, nothing but a game of the week when launched.... game for kids.

The questing system doesn't really sound very pirate-like. It just sounds like we'd be doing odd jobs for other people, shouldn' pirates be looting towns and stealing the treasure for themselves? Not working with trade guilds and the like to presumably just get a cut of the treasure or whatever it is you just acquired for them?
Steve Larry
Steve Larry - 6 years ago
If you act all abstract and pretentious anything can have the characteristics of anything. Children don't like games that someone on the internet could maybe relate to a child, they like simple games, game that don't require teamwork or coordination or navigating without an obvious way point. They don't like having to be patient. Superficially, you could sort of mold this game into a child I guess? But do you think children care about that? They want instant gratification, not looking around from the crows nest and steering an incredibly inaccurate boat, moving supplies to the cannons and wood to the walls. You analogy has no effect on if the game is something children would want.

Endless player interaction possibilities, a wide variety of play-styles and an even playing field for everybody in the game is exactly what I want from a game. The difference with this one isn't that I show off my status with cosmetics because I do play Overwatch among many others where the only way to show your status is to look different, except in that game you can buy cosmetics unlike Sea of Thieves, so they are actually worth something and actually show status. If having cosmetics be your reward makes it a children's game then count me, Sea of Thieves and Overwatch right on in.

How is it a flaw that you bring treasure to a faction leader? Do you think pirates ordered their coffee with a bit of a priceless gold artifact? You kind of have to sell it, and if it's depth of gameplay you are looking for it's a strange choice to complain about the aspect that lends to that most. You really are scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

If you want to make the No Man's Sky argument don't try to shoehorn it in by saying "Weeelll I was right about a completely obvious gameplay mechanic so I am right an entire game will fail!"

No Man's Sky didn't have factions though. I have no idea where you were getting that one from, but you can shoehorn it in so your completely ridiculous statement would stand up to someone who hasn't played the game.

No Man's Sky is a terrible example. Nobody played it before launch, unlike Sea of Thieves. The developers weren't open about the features with actual gameplay to support it. It was made by a completely inexperienced indie studio. You seem to be implying that the Sea of Thieves developers are going to leave out content they discussed, but this isn't Hello Games. This is Rare and they have Microsoft backing them, so I really doubt any superficial connections between the two would turn out to mean the game is literally dead before it has even released. Sea of Thieves is also MULTIPLAYER which allows for practically endless tactics with your team and against enemies, and fun encounters that are practically impossible to recreate.

You have fallen so deep into your own rabbit hole of doomsday predictions and feeble attempts to defend arguments that you were clearly making up on the fly, creating temporary defenses with statements so ridiculous and indefensible their only reason for existence is to slow down the argument to a creeping pace so you don't have to admit you misjudged the game. You leaving this discussion would do me the great favor of not having to read through the your maniac statements about children and your personification of games as children. Yes, that's what I was referring to earlier in the paragraph.

But anyways, lets check in on some games that have the same seven "things" that No Man's Sky had and must clearly mean the end of a game is coming.

Elite: Dangerous

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

Let me know how that turned out, and also let me know when you can admit your arguments are completely ill conceived, built like a Jenga tower that was never intended to stand up to the tension.
Crypto Rookie
Crypto Rookie - 6 years ago
Steve Larry the argument would be a non sequitur if I didn’t have the experience of failed games in the past and an argument to support why I could possibly be right about this game failing as well. Read between the lines. That statement means more than “I did this unknowingly therefore this will happen without critical thought” it alludes to other pieces of information that led me to some form of a conclusion to begin with.

An example of a failed game with similar characteristics is no mans sky.

Factions ☑️
Various Npcs ☑️
Animals ☑️
Weapons ☑️
Various ships ☑️
Open universe ☑️
A quest line ☑️

It still managed to die because they left out major content that would only make sense in a game of that scale(and content that they promised).

RIP no mans sky
RIP sea of thieves before it is even conceived (unless they add the content that makes sense, and that the community wants)
Crypto Rookie
Crypto Rookie - 6 years ago
Steve Larry I said I could possibly be right, I didn’t say I was absolutely right therefore I am not wrong in that statement. what do you not understand about a game that has the characteristics of a child and not very much depth typically are played by children therefore it is a game made for children. People that have the critical faculties of children may not be children, but can fall under this category as well. This is not an inherently bad thing either, but for people that want more in a game I’d suggest they stay away from this one. Yes, they may add in a few more weapons, some animals (which should be added if you are playing a game based in a setting like this), NPC’s here and there bc they are needed in an open world game, but will that truly satisfy you in the long term? The game has enveloped your role into making yourself a higher status of other players (like other games), but what is the difference with this one? The difference is that you show off that higher status with cosmetics and a fancier scroll than the others around you. That is not depth of content, that is child’s play. You do not even want me to begin on the fact that you hunt down your treasure and take it to some faction leader for a payment. That is one of the largest flaws that they have. I guess it would make sense for the factions to keep their children on a leash only to let them off when they want you to search for treasure for them, hell they don’t even have to force people, they will just go voluntarily.
Steve Larry
Steve Larry - 6 years ago
That seems quite like you disproved your argument. "I was right about the world not ending, and because of that I bet the world is going to end!"

You can't say that you because you got one thing vaguely correct the other might come true as well, and you especially can't say it when the pieces of information contradict each other. I think you should follow your agreement and admit you were wrong.
Crypto Rookie
Crypto Rookie - 6 years ago
Steve Larry I didn’t do any research until after I commented making a prediction of factions based off of your statement on the data mines. It turns out that I was right. I could possibly be right about this game dying to soon.
Steve Larry
Steve Larry
Steve Larry - 6 years ago
I don't think it's clear and concise when it's practically impossible to discern what you are trying to say. "Game is for child. Child not fully developed, child ignorant to potential." What? Why does that mean the game is for children? What does that have to do with the game? Maybe in your head it makes sense but your attempt to clarify it has made your point even more confusing.

I assumed you would do a little research yourself, but if you want me to go into detail that's fine.

There is supposed to be three factions with different quest types. Only the gold hoarders are in the beta, which is why all there is to do is hunt for chests and PVP. The other factions are the traders who ask you to bring precious cargo to it's destination, some requiring special treatment like making sure the animals don't drown below deck, and avoiding pirates who will try to rob you. I'm pretty sure they also ask you to collect wildlife on other islands. The final one is the black magic gang for the people who like to PVE against skeletons and bosses.

Keep in mind all three factions have different reputations with you that you can use to buy get their special items.

Cosmetic ship customization was mentioned and has been data-mined. You can customize your cannon, figurehead on the front of your ship, the mast, the wheel and many more. I would assume this is what the useless NPC at every dock will do.

Tons of other stuff has been data-mined:

Weapons like a boarding axe and a heavy sword.
Tons of different chest types for islands/shipwrecks.
Sixteen NPCs including shopkeepers.
Maps for different parts of the map with individual landmark locations.
Treasure artifacts each with multiple variations.
Tons of animals.
Enemy mermaids, Kraken tentacles.

I will link the videos and Reddit thread in another comment, in case it gets removed.
Crypto Rookie

Steve Larry I just read an article that I will post that clearly states what the game has in store. The only thing that catches my eye is the depth that there will be in ship weaponry. Other than that, it is all about the aesthetics to your character and ship.

Crypto Rookie
Crypto Rookie - 6 years ago
Steve Larry I gave a clear and concise explanation of what I meant by this game is for children. You state that there are sources available from data mining that have information on other content that may be in the game, then you continue to state that there are empty settlements and tents. The way to get me to say that I am wrong (which you want me to do) is to clarify what could possibly be in the tents and settlements. That could mean anything from there being factions to many other possibilities. What are they going to add to prevent this game from dying sooner rather than later?
Steve Larry
Steve Larry - 6 years ago
I would say a child wants a very simple game that doesn't require them to coordinate, have patience, work well under pressure, and navigate menus while walking while getting shot at. That's not this game. Do you mean the game IS a child? Because last I checked that's not what you said in either other comment.

By the way, you are wrong. The beta doesn't include most of the content. There are many sources for this. Alpha players have commented on the lack of content from what they played, the game has been data-mined and the full release has far more in it just from that, as well as the many developer videos that show content that may not be fully finished but is clearly going to be in the game if the empty buildings and tents in settlements have anything to say about it. Must just be one of those rare examples.
Crypto Rookie
Crypto Rookie - 6 years ago
Steve Larry It is a descriptor. What are some qualities of a child? One quality I can think of is not being fully developed or not to its full potential as of right now. A child can be sometimes ignorant to the potential that it holds. What do you deem some qualities that a child possesses? I could have had better wording saying simply that the content is lacking, but I didn’t. I’ll stick to my initial statement that this game is for children. Obviously I can tell that it lacks in content from the beta... what kind of question is that? The beta is typically a preview of the games entirety with not much less left to be added into the full version. Unless this is a rare case, this is most likely exactly what you are getting, and if I am wrong, then I will correct myself. Lack of content kills games. People with child like characteristics Tend to vehemently play child like games.
Steve Larry
Steve Larry - 6 years ago
I do? Along with the many, many people who bought the game? Maybe you don't but the alternative would turn the game into a complete trash bonanza. And how does this mean it's for children? How does it lack content? Can you tell from the beta? Presumably you didn't tell from all the people who datamined the beta, because then you would see how limited the beta is. Again, what does this have to do with children?
Crypto Rookie
Crypto Rookie - 6 years ago
Steve Larry when I said looks like it is for children I didn’t mean graphically or the animation style. It objectively lacks content. Who wants to go out and earn gold to buy cosmetic items alone. If their intention is to make this a “casual” playing game with this much of a lack of content, then it doesn’t deserve a 60 dollar price tag let alone your 60 dollars just for me to play dress up as a pirate.

As somebody whos poured hours into the Alpha play sessions I can honestly say its a fun game, it's not something you sit there and play all day everyday, but it's such a unique game that it doesn't matter where you're coming from, Call of duty, Assassins creed or bloody Frogger there's something there for everyone.

There might not be an overarching story to the game, but it's truthfully not about that, because you're almost always doing something, communicating with team mates, you always have a job to do, from keeping lookout, steering ship, loading cannons, repairing, angling the numerous sails, repairing or even being the navigator, you dont have much time to think or critique a lack of story because you're crafting your own.

I love the PVP in this game too and I really do mean love, in almost every game out there PVP is a fact paced endeavour where decision making takes a back seat to run and gun reflexes, but in Sea of Thieves, everything relies upon the choices of the crew together, sinking an enemy ship can come down to such small things like dropping anchor after strafing one another to quickly turn or firing yourself from a cannon at the right time, killing the Captain of the opposing ship, the sheer adrenaline you build up is exhilarating and when all is said and done and you're plucking their chests from the water, you're not thinking about progression, you're just thinking about the next fight

I just can't wait for the events to come out over the next year

Looting towns of the living (presumably killing some civilians as you go) doesn't fit with the light, PG-13 tone of the influences they've referenced. I agree about the dissonance in essentially working for a boss for a cut, though. Maybe later on they'll find a way to frame it to fit, maybe not.

I guess maybe it was a simple way of fixing where the quests came from, adding a universal and easily balanced reward (gold), and sorting which progression routes you can go down?

Steve Coates it's a 8/10 game if you don't have friends to play with. The matchmaking is fine, it almost always find a nice crew to play with, and you can communicate just fine if you don't have a Mic
But it's a 10/10 game if you have friends to play with, it's rly one of the best games I've ever played with friends
And most of it's content it's not released in a matter of quests, NPCs and actually big voyages that will be available when it launchs

TikiShootah bruh wait til you encounter the red sea shit, boi I was cruising on my own then I saw a ship go down randomly then I went near it to investigate then some eerie music started playing then the water slowly turns red I tried to turn back but once you enter the radius your ship breaks and after some time the water turns bright red like kool-aid scary shit man.

Hegg Official yeah, cause in a game where I can fire myself from a cannon, kill skulls that eat bananas to regenerate HEALTH and fix a boat with one piece of wood and a bucket rly means to be "historical accurate"
Be better, bro

I dont think it was meant to be historically accurate. You can fire yourself from a cannon and and fight literal skeletons and you're complaining that there are scopes.

Eko02 you forget that right now there aren't many players in the game, so the game seems much emptier Than it will on launch. You also forget that the shipmaster, blacksmith, and potion shop haven't been added in yet; but they already have buildings and NPCs. Also they haven't added in the more unique missions and the proposed community voyages, which will have multiple ships pitting for the same chests.

I'd suggest to wait for a sale, it is by no means worth 60 dollars.. Im in the closed beta and unless they add half the game in the 2 months before the game releases, its not gonna be worth it. There is basically nothing to do in the game. Only get a map, sail to an island, kill some dumb, easy enemies, find tressure and sell it. What can you buy with the money? Skins. Nothing else. If you are lucky youd meet another player and thats the only thing that might be fun to do again and again that the game has, even though the combat isnt great..

game looks slow and terrible, graphic style is poor and the fact you have a scoped weapon shows how little they knew about pirates in the first place. might as well play pirates of the Caribbean on ps2 and flog off to jack sparrows nipples
