Sea Of Thieves Adding New PVP Mode The Arena

Rare has been hard at work making up for the initial lack of content, but the strategy game Building guide|Https://strategyreviewer.com/ was still coming up short when it came to competitive action. The new PVP mode could change all that. To be clear, The Arena won’t be another Battle Royale but Rare never wanted it to be. They set out to create a game different from those around them. Hopefully for players 2019 will unveil a new series of fun content to keep them returning to Sea of Thiev


This one's tricky to find so swim underwater at the northeast side of the island and look for the stone doorway cave entrance. Inside is the last of Merrick's three journals which which again has just two pages which hint that he's making more of his drums for other pirates and that enough people can learn his shanty they can summon the beast from the deep once m


Still, there's something that lacks within the library when compared to competitors' critical darlings like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon: Zero Dawn . Indeed, it appears as if the competition has a stranglehold on triple-A exclusive games, and in that light, Xbox's titles are lacking when placed head-to-head against the barrage of titles coming from Nintendo and Sony Interactive Entertainment. Admittedly, games like Sea of Thieves and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have managed to garner significant player counts within their first few weeks of availability, and that's great news for the firm. But the long-term appeal of these games remains to be seen, and the initial quality is far removed from that of the immediate competitio


Not wasting anytime since the game 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


The first, significant change that Rare plans to introduce will allow players the option of choosing whether their ship is "invite-only," rather than open to any matchmade players. This change would allow groups of less than four players, for example, to crew a ship without having another player assigned automatically to their crew. Rare apparently hopes that this change will discourage players from misusing the brig system to lock up automatically-assigned play


With little time left in 2018, Rare is already preparing for next year, beginning with a new PVP mode called The Arena . There is no release date as of yet, but players should expect it to launch early in 2019. According to Polygon , The Arena is not a Battle Royale mode, although the game mode will allow players to compete with one another quickly. The Arena will pit gamers against one another in a search for treasure. The new PVP mode will include a new tavern and a new trading company, The Sea Dogs, who will face off against the players as w


Let's not sugar-coat it: Microsoft has a problem with its Xbox One console, and it stems from its current roster of exclusive games... or lack thereof. Now, the tried and true first-party blockbusters have already appeared on the Xbox One – with Halo , Gears of War , and Forza all making their presence felt on the system – while new properties like Sea of Thieves and Sunset Overdrive have helped provide a unique reason for console gamers to invest in the hardware outside of its expected lin


We noted in our first impressions of Sea of Thieves that the server issues are a problem all too common in online games and one that after all these years shouldn't still happen, but it does. So please be prepared going in that there may be difficulties joining with others in a crew, and that it's possible to lose connection while playing, and with it, your loot that you've yet to redeem at an outpost. This can be infuriating but it's part of the growing pains and reality of this game at the mom


Head to the uncharted island at L-14 and look for the crow’s nest sticking out of the water. Climb it to read the journal which reveals the location hint with a "tavern that hasss a nasty bite, where the drunks sslither evry nighT. The BARkeep’s fond o her own grogg, a scarred beaut in a Wild spott," which refers to Teri at the The Snake Pit tavern on Dagger Tooth Outpost (


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


Fortunately, Phil Spencer (Executive Vice President of Gaming at Microsoft) knows this all too well and is in the midst of turning things around. As Bloomberg reports, Spencer claims that the focus moving forward for Microsoft will be in software as it will begin to either create new studios or purchase them. He said: "We need to grow, and I look forward to doing that. Our ability to go create content has to be one of our strengths. We haven’t always invested at the same level. We’ve gone through ups and downs in the investment." Furthermore, Spencer indicated on Major Nelson's podcast that there are going to be some " positive changes " at this year's E3, presumably meaning that they are truly starting to turn things around with regard to first-party cont
