I LOVE how butt hurt noobs are crying about "griefing" on this game......it's a f'n PIRATE GAME. Pull up your britches and defend yourself.
I agree, but they do need to fix some basic mechanics. When a person spawns in their ship, they should have a few seconds in invulnerability. I boarded a sloop and killed the two pirates on it. I aimed the ship at some rock and it got a few holes. I knew they were about to respawn and waited behind the anchor. They spawned up right in front ove me and I blunderbussed them before they even had a chance to move. I felt bad for doing it, but what else was I to do?

I could see a situation where someone boards a ship and just spawn kills the person over and over again without ever trying to sink their ship or take thier loot. Just a second or two of invulnerability would help.
 
Only thing they can for at the moment is hit the menu button while in the after life and vote to sink the ship

Well, they're morons. If you tried to do that to my group we would scuttle the ship.
 
On the flip side MS haven't come out saying game pass has seen an increase in numbers since the game launched.

Why would they? Unique users encompasses everyone playing the game so that covers everyone playing on Xbox and PC regardless of purchase or GP. Brining up GP numbers would just take away from the statement about SoT, it also could very well bet hat GP numbers haven't gone up much and that the people who already had it are mostly big Xbox fans anyway and are also more likely to be interested in SoT.
 
Looks like achievements are back
I don't understand how the largest software maker in the world, with hundreds of thousands of servers, with YEARS of developing this game (and other games), with RECORD profits in their cloud division, can't seem to connect 2 million people playing Sea of Thieves and push out an achievement.

MS is HUGE. They should expect the worst and prepare for it. Anticipate 5 million connecting, then drop it down when/if needed. MS is so damn big, I don't understand how they could screw this up. Then again, I know nothing about IT.
 
IGN becomes pirate legend. I watches the first minute than turned it off because I want to be surprised. Let me know what you think.

 
Some guy on twitch reached it but lots are complaining cause all he was doing was letting others do all the work then joining the game just before they cashed in their Rewards....... and people were paying to watch him do it :txbrolleyes:
 
I'm dubbing this game Sea of Sh*t.
I got taken in by the hype big-time and now I'm so fed up with this game. Community is hugely toxic, PC hacks everywhere, not that the Xbox players can compete fairly with them to begin with. The controls are sh*t, the servers are sh*t, the game is repetitive AF.
Microsoft is so damn desperate to have exclusive games they're rushing everything out the door long before it's ready. Not that theres any excuse for a huge development team with 4 years time to put out crap like this.
Rare is dead. Nintendo sold them cause they knew they were a sinking ship when all the talented developers started bailing years and years ago. Now Rare are just a bunch of marginal nobody's living off a brand name built by other people.

Nothing special a all. Is just rinse & repeat of what we are all doing now.

Pretty lame in all honesty.

Why would you pay to watch somebody play a game.

Well isn't that the point of cloud servers to begin with, the ability to increase and decrease servers on the fly?

The cheevos seem like a convoluted mess.
 
Well Far Cry 5 is going to keep me occupied for a bit. I knew that this would happen. I'll probably try and get in a match with some other people this weekend, but the last few matchmakings weren't great. Kept getting crews that weren't doing anything.

I still think it has the potential to be great and if you get a few people to crew with; it's a lot of fun. Only in small doses. Yeah, doing the same stuff gets repetitive. Same with Division and Destiny.

So the quests that you get from the pirate legend ghosts are the same thing as the other guilds give? That is very lame. I shouldn't be overly surprised, but I had hoped for something a little different.

Yeah D-V-ANT and I usually team up with a dutch guy and then the random 4th tends not to do much if anything.

This game needs way too much doing to it to make it 'great.' Unfortunately these games with cool concepts are just not doing enough. This is the 3rd new IP now that has s*** the bed content wise and failed to deliver a full, rich and well balanced world. The other 2 were Destiny and The Division.

It makes me fear what state Anthem will release in.

He didn't acually do a mission, but I seriously doubt it will be anything but fetch quests.

What we do need to see is what you do once you become the Pirate Lord, that is the end game as far as I know.

Your not wrong. Were lucky to have teamed up with him so we can crew a galleon properly. Most of my enjoyment is coming from the actual sailing (which I really love as well) and if we were still in a sloop I’m not sure I’d be playing as much as I am.

PC hacks everywhere eh? Ive played every day and have yet to see a hacker in game. The only time i heard anything about hacking was in an article on the web but have yet to see any in game. I guess they arent "everywhere" like you claim.

Servers have been fine for me since they got a handle on the overflow of players.

Controls? Idk i havent had a problem with them. I know the console version doesnt have auto aim, maybe you suck and you need auto aim? Idk.

The other things i agree with you on.

Yeah the sailing is good. I actually enjoy the sloop and don't really find it any different than a galleon, except for firepower.
 
I’ll continue to kick the tires once in awhile but I think it’ll be a year or two before SOT gets close to something I’ll enjoy regularly.

Yeah the sloop is good fun but I do love the amount of coordination you need to manage th galleon. And of course, the fire power as well like you said.
 
Some one on YouTube said that the Pirate Legend quests are a combination of all three guilds. But they did say that those quest have a chance for pirate legend chest which will contain specific treasures including items. Anyone can steal these chests too. I'll go through my YouTube history and see if I can find that vid again, but the pirate legend chests at least sound good.

Love the galleon especially when doing a quick quest by myself.

Sailed out the map area... that red sea is creepy

well, I have played with a hacked player once on this title. I haven't seen it again.
