    @SergioJasonPina @SeaOfThieves By far the most casual pvp experience you will find online. With two working brain cells you can be better than 95% of the SOT population. Other players aren’t the problem

    @SeaOfThieves "We know there's fundamental problems to combat and movement right now but we're not gonna ship the fixes we have until the 3rd act of the season (which we've delayed)" Great job, guys!

    @SeaOfThieves Sounds to me like us doing the work testing their game and reporting problems is something they should reward us for since games used to be tested and fixed before release not after and game testers either got paid or got a copy of the game before release now they are just lazy

    @SeaOfThieves I don’t really mind any of these changes because they are probably just testing things out which is fine. I have a bigger problem with him saying the game performance has gotten better. Nah bro… I can’t pull out my food or wood sometimes, Tposing, barrel glitch, etc.

    @webtoonofficial @SeaOfThieves @XboxGamePass Hello! I’ve read all 5 Sea of Thieves comics, but I haven’t received the Xbox Game Pass coupon by email. Has there been any problem?

    @SeaOfThieves As expected. Maybe listen to insiders next time, instead of insisting that 2 weeks are enough time to test and fix this mess.

    @RareLtd your intentions are good, but if you can't ******* fix server merges in @SeaOfThieves, maybe don't force more of them, yeah? I'd rather choose to change servers than you try and kill it right as we're about to sell.

    @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves worst part is you are getting hated by the community as soon as you mention issues about what rare is doing, you have no right to be a more competent person at spotting evident gameplay design problems than them. now we are stuck with rare listening to the wrong people

  • __DUBB3D__
    DUBB3D (@__DUBB3D__) reported

    The recent decisions from the Sea of Thieves team has been unacceptable and quite frankly out of line. The more recent issues being Season 19, and the Blackwyche set releasing in the Emporium are the final straws on the camels back for a lot of players, myself included. More specifically, the way both of these situations have been handled is nothing short of disgraceful. I'm not talking about the team scrapping content from Season 19, but rather trying to keep the 3-Act structure, when we were just told by Drew that that formula does not work, yet it's still getting implemented. "Transparency" as a whole is something we have heard from the team almost every video it seems. However, it has become corporate speak rather than details of current problems (and what they're doing to fix it) as well as discussion of the large-scale full roadmap for the future plans of the game. This is highly alarming. We are far beyond the point of needing to be surprised for anything. PLEASE just tell us what you are going to do for the game and what is going on. We need full honesty and openness about what the team is doing to show that our valuable time is not being wasted like it currently is, and for overall improvement of game health. Of course the next community direct could be the start of seeing some future plans, but again, this needed to happen sooner (years ago) and it's honestly too late regardless of what happens now. We see Rare is underwater and profits are decreasing at an alarming rate. We see the team scrambling to push out any amount of half-baked content. The overall quality bar has been set so drastically low it is embarrassing. None of it has proper creative and intuitive lead like it used to and it leaves us with less and less for every update. The game does not feel as full or exciting as it used to, despite there being so much. Another huge problem, especially right now, are the community managers and moderators. So many of these people in the past have bullied, belittled, blocked, and flat out banned players for voicing their opinions. There needs to be a drastic change in this team in regards to how it is structured and how they are allowed to use their authority and operate. I am not wishing for anyone to get fired, but rather repositioned to a different role, because managing a community and handling feedback is obviously not in their skill set. Some people in particular are J0toro and Shirah, who have been the worst when it comes to this. It feels like they have no boss watching or directing what they do and it has been like this for years. They are on a super loose leash and it feels like they are completely separate from the rest of the leadership team. They speak and act on what they feel and what they want and it is super bad. These people SHOULD NOT be the public representation of Rare, specifically Sea of Thieves at all. There is also a MASSIVE disconnect between how Rare views Sea of Thieves, and how the players view Sea of Thieves. Yes, it is Rare's game and Microsoft's IP, but our wants and needs as the players who actually spend time in the game needs to be paramount in decision making in the future. In short, what I am trying to say, is that Rare and specifically the directors of Sea of Thieves need to either get this game back on course before it is too late, or announce that they are working on Sea of Thieves 2. People only speak up because they care. If nobody spoke up in the face of problems, then it would be even worse than it is now. The fact that still so many people voice their opinions is a good thing, so please stop censoring us or just flat out ignoring us. #SeaOfThieves

  • MMVSSOT
    MemeVS (@MMVSSOT) reported

    @Lukitch59 @SeaOfThieves The Trident had time in Insiders to be balanced, yet it still went live unchanged. That suggests it wasn’t missed it just wasn’t prioritized. Insiders exists to catch these issues before launch. So unless the developers were blindsided, I feel that it’s likely to stay as it is.

    @Musicmee_ @SeaOfThieves Wish I could say the same. Lag, server hiccups, broken ladders and unable to pick up food from crates and barrels was my weekend and first go at S19

    @SeaOfThieves Disconnect from your actual player base as usual. Stop listening to streamers and players who spend their lives on the game. I barely had 8,000 doubloons before spending them all a month before the announcement of the reset.

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves I used to play City of Heroes. They introduced player created content. It was fun for about 3 months. And it will be fun to see what, you and other streamers come up with in these servers. The issues will start when the rest of us want into the private server(s) to play in your world. Servers limit ships to 6, is this the same for Private (rhetorical)? I like the idea, but fear that they (the devs) are currently throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.
