Losing Vital Tall Tale Items

  • Items that you get during Tall Tales should not be stolen or lost, they should at least be somehow tied to your ship so if your ship goes down or you have to scuttle it, the item stays on your ship. And items shouldn’t be stolen by other players. You’re crew should be allowed to pick it up but not outside players. Yesterday I was on a sloop alone, I encountered the Kraken and was unable to on hold it off and it killed me, so I lost a vital piece to the Tall Tale even though I was maybe 15 minutes away from completing it. It was extremely aggravating and irritating to have worked so hard to lose the chance to finish the Tall Tale. And I love this game, my only complaint is that the Tall Tale items should be tied to your boat and only accessible to your crew.

    Well yeah, you need them to finish the tale, so don't lose them, and don't let them get stolen. :P

    they should at least be somehow tied to your ship so if your ship goes down or you have to scuttle it, the item stays on your ship.

    So you want to be protected from losing... In a game?

    And items shouldn’t be stolen by other players. You’re crew should be allowed to pick it up but not outside players.

    You literally want the make it so Sea of Thieves stops being a game? Games are defined as a series of challenges you need to overcome, that means losing has to be a factor, otherwise it's not a game.

    You want to remove the concept of losing, so you want SoT to stop being a game.

    Get outta here with that attitude! :P

    Rare have in fact been debating giving monetary value to TT items, to encourage more stealing, so you are fresh out of luck, buddy.

    Yesterday I was on a sloop alone, I encountered the Kraken and was unable to on hold it off and it killed me, so I lost a vital piece to the Tall Tale even though I was maybe 15 minutes away from completing it.

    When you lose in a game, that is an indication that you did something wrong, and have to improve at something before you can progress. That is precisely the challenge you are presented with.

    That means, every time you lose in a game, the game itself is telling you "that's not good enough, you have to do better.".

    So, do better.

    It was extremely aggravating and irritating to have worked so hard to lose the chance to finish the Tall Tale.

    You clearly did not work hard enough, though. :S

    And I love this game

    Seeing as you want it to stop being a game, i don't think you do.

    my only complaint is that the Tall Tale items should be tied to your boat and only accessible to your crew.

    That was literally not your only complaint. -.-'

    No, you do not love this game. You want the risk removed. You want the possibility of thievery removed from a game titled Sea of Thieves. There are plenty of games out there that allow you to complete fetch quests all day long without risk. I am not interested in seeing this one ruined because some people do not want to learn to protect important items. You can complete the Tall Tales but maybe not until you realize what game you are actually playing is not the game you thought you were playing. Grab a rowboat next time. It probably would have allowed you to save your item.

    There's your issue. I'm sorry, but if you sink to the Kraken on a sloop that's your fault. It;s not that hard to kill. You only need to kill 2 tentacles, 10-20 cannons each.

  • @webslinger429 i believe a certain captain touched on this subject regarding quest items. An in all honesty, i kinda agreed with him. Some of the voyages can be quite arduous ,3,7,4 come to mind as being quite drawn out without the knowledge of knowing what you are doing. And in all honesty when i sink a ship with a tall tale item on it, it does tend to leave a sour taste in the mouth. Just the other day almost sank a dude who was on one of these aforementioned voyages , borded, killed, spotted only thing on ship a skull. patched ship , left

  • @dangcafe i agree with this i just spent like 2 hours on the theives star tale and i was making my way back to turn in the tale and i got jumped by another crew and i mostly play solo so you know how that goes.
