Sea Of Thieves Developer Explains Addresses Launch Issues

Now, when you can get a good-sized crew that can all communicate? That's when Sea of Thieves truly comes alive. This is a game that can master the art of camaraderie as you help each other out by telling the player at the wheel what's past the sails in their view, keeping an eye out for shipwrecks with potential loot, splitting up to search an island and swap clues and findings, or even firing flintlocks at sharks from the ship to help save players making a swim for the ladder while carrying the treasure you found. Heck, even just playing around with the musical instruments or getting drunk on grog during a quieter moment provides some laughs and levity as a group. Working as a crew is just as fun and rewarding, and is clearly the game's biggest strength.


All of the issues that are common and raised online in the forums, Discord, and Sea of Thieves Subreddit are things the developers are seeing and noting as well. Hopefully, this up update address the obvious concerns and quells some of the brewing negativity online. It's been such a problem that even the downvote option was seemingly removed from the Sea of Thieves p


Not wasting anytime since the Strategy Game Missions|Https://Strategyreviewer.Com/ really only released worldwide yesterday, Rare Studio Head Craig Duncan and Sea of Thieves Executive Producer Joe Neate got together and shot the above video from their offices to offer the first official Sea of Thieves "Developer Update." In it they explain that the game has 3-4 times more players than they had in their final and biggest stress test beta, and had over 1 million players logging in within the first 48 hours - up to more than 5000 players trying to match make per minute. These are numbers they just didn't expect which is a positive nod towards Microsoft's marketing efforts on their big exclusive and a potential indicator of the success of the Xbox Game P


One Reddit user named peraldon asked Rare about post-launch DLC for Sea of Thieves and whether or not they would disclose the game's roadmap for first-year content plans after the game launches. Joe Neate, Executive Producer on Sea of Thieves , answered the question and said the follow


It would also enable a smaller group to crew a galleon, or even bring a larger crew aboard a sloop, though it will not lift the four-player cap . According to Rare, this change is one of the most requested by play


And while us players are certainly not getting what we paid for (yet), the devs are feeling the stress as well. This is where the devs step in to explain the situation and plan going forward, and they've done so in a very smart


Sea of Thieves developer Rare has published a full list of the game's 60 achievements (for a total of 1,000 points), but with a special pirate-y twist. Rather than explaining what players have to do to unlock the achievement, each one has been presented as a riddle. This adds a bit of fun to achievement hunting and lines up well with the upcoming co-op pirate game 's riddle-filled que

As for bugs like inventory items not showing up in the radial menus, that still can happen often enough that you may have to rejoin a game to fix. Missing gold, reputation levels, and achievements however seem to be just delayed - meaning Rare doesn't think you're actually losing any of that. It just may take a while to show up, or will show up next time you get into a g


Commendation achievements also double as Pirate Titles, and are unlocked when certain deeds are done within the game, such as completed a certain number of voyages or earning a particular amount of gold. These achievements range in difficulty from Grade 1 through Grade 5 and upon unlocking the fifth and final grade of Commendation in each set, a matching Pirate Title is awar

Sea of Thieves has been boggling us for the past few months leading up to its release. After all, this pirate-themed MMO title is meant to be one of the year's biggest games, but yet little of us here at HG showed any real enthusiasm for it. And it's not that it didn't look fun, with its swashbuckling adventures, naval combat and even the ability to even shoot yourself out of a cannon. But there was just always something that always seemed to be holding it back. And after having spent some time with the game, it's not hard to see what that something is, because while there is fun to be had, this game feels a bit more like a pond than a sea.


A recent patch to Sea of Thieves already extended the game's ship respawn distance , preventing players from respawning their ship within sight of the ship that sunk them, but Rare states in the developer update that the studio has plans to improve that aspect of the game even further. Rare also wishes to address other problems with spawn-killing by adding in-game reminders to players of the "Scuttle" option, and possibly even moving ships to other world instances to avoid prolonged cases of spawn-kill


Upon realizing how everything works, you'll begin to notice just how gorgeous Sea of Thieves is. It is one of the most beautiful games I have ever seen. The best word to describe the first sunset and sunrise I saw is breathtaking. The way the sun reflects off the incredibly animated ocean is a technical feat. It is the best looking water I have seen in a video game. This, in conjunction with its cartoon-style player models and environments, makes the tedium of the quests somewhat beara
