What legendary sea creatures would you like to see besides the kraken?

some interesting choices of land and sea creatures. I am really curious why half of this stuff hasn't been revealed yet, we usually see monsters really quick it makes me think that stuff is kind of an afterthought and they are banking on PVP lol but id love to be wrong. I hope they've taken a look at this thread or will when they return from Christmas.

btw MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.

@chosen-predator seems to be the latter, after the massive success pvp had in 2017 with games like pubg and fortnite they seem to want to focus on that instead of having a lore rich game or pve mechanics, it's a shame though, i was already planning on ninja looting ships that were battling against big creatures, get them while they're distracted...to probably be obliterated by the same monster they're battling but still, such things add to the game but it's not necessary to be popular, i mean, pubg dips to under 10fps in console and it's only big map with lots of people and random weps thrown about, and that sold like 20 million copies, so why bother with a well-written story or world events or massive encounters

Grendel and his mom (especially his mom).

@roshkavp follow the ghost ship to a island follow the ghost crew watch them bury a treasure watch them leave then dig up the treasure chest this could be a very rare chest Worth lots of coin.

@angel-rugal and that's why ESO has surpassed WoW and other mmo's in sales and Active accounts. It was very crowded over the holidays.
So much lore and pve content that it will take you literally years to do everything, every quest, so much that the game can be overwhelming...and just when you think you have seen and done everything they come out with a new DLC every 3-6 months.
They also do holidays events... And once your done with all that you can queue up for massive world PvP and start quest even there!!

Why are we talking about ESO? To use it as an example of how PvE content is still the #1 leader in longevity of a game.
PvP'ers get board fast and tend to jump from one game to the next big thing.
PvE'ers given extensive in-depth and interesting story driven lore and content tend to stick with that game for years.

As for SoT... The open world PvP is not bad, but as you said you get board fast...
Who will you ninja loot when no one is doing the pve content and everyone is only PvP'ing?

Can't go into much detail due to NDA... But Rare will need to get very creative on how to balance PvP and PVE...and perhaps expand out the map with more out posts to keep PvP'ers on their toes of where that ship they saw currying treasure might be going to sell.

Need to make PvP more challenging, and risky... Give PvP'ers some more interesting cenarios then just the easy spawn camping at limited Outpost.

As for PVE... Rare will be adding some interesting content soon.... hopefully this will be a never ending Expansion of the game like What made ESO so successful... Unlimited unique Quests.

@techno-warwitch we cant know for sure if eso is the most active mmo, how do i know? because wow and ff14 stopped giving out their numbers long time ago, what i know for sure is that i played the 3 mmos and eso was the most boring. not because of lack of pvp but because of the mechanics.

i dont really like wow either but i have a lot of respect for that game, for what it did for gaming as a whole and for opening up gaming for the masses, for showing every other company that if you do things the right way you have a money-making title that can last for literally decades

as for ff14 i have 2500 hours in, a story-driven mmo with very little pvp and that was a failure on launch, boy did they pick it up. it's one of the best games i have ever played and am still playing

another thing we dont know is what rare wants to do with SoT, their true intentions, they didnt even release their monetization scheme, all we have is some sneak peeks to very few snippets of content: a sniper rifle, exploding barrels, cargo missions, character customization and a boss fight...against yet another skeleton...yay...

everything else is guessing and wishing from the forums, did no one learn that devs and publishers should never be trusted? i mean look at the past years, look at EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Sean "one man's lie" Murray, even Peter Molineaux had to shut up and stop giving press conferences because every word out of that guy's mouth is a lie.

Rare hasnt lie to us yet, not that i know of at least, but that doesnt give them a carte blanche to start doing it because "hey, everyone else is doing it and selling millions"

@angel-rugal very true, it's hard to know 100% if a game releasing numbers is just another social media hype campaign or if it's legit numbers.
If it's on the news or social media it's most likely a fabricated fantasy and lie lol.

SoT has some good things they are working on... SoT is NOT going to be a traditional MMO. So we can "at this point" not expect to see Ever Quests, WoW, or ESO styles of story driven quests in the game any time soon, or at all.

Think of SoT more like GTA5 only on the high Seas and no one shot rocket launcher and Hydras lol.

Though I'm sure we will not be doing any drug Running from Outpost to Outpost eather lol.

Anyways yeah.... SoT has some unique mechanics and game play... We will have to wait and see where Rare is going with it in the PVE content.

Here is another video for ideas of mythical sea monsters that would be cool to fight in Sea of Thieves.

Here is another video if in real life monster-ish that could be put in SoT.

The Fog... And the The draugr or draug also called aptrganga or aptrgangr!

The Fog (2005) - Trailer

@stalkrates A massive crab that sometimes defends sunken ships.

that is the true test for when BETA comes out to see what type of PVE content RARE has, I feel that is going to be vital for them, kind of a make or break moment because people will run off and judge it asap based off of that and bad word of mouth can spread like rain fire.

there is already this conception the game is just skeletons/sharks/pvp treasure hunting rinse repeat.

Giant Vulture that flies around the map

@vallioa said in What legendary sea creatures would you like to see besides the kraken?:

Giant Vulture that flies around the map

makes sense if you carry tons of livestock on your ship some sort of gigantic vulture attacks you

i would like to see a megaladon (giant shark) as well as maybe a sea serpent/leviathan, i also like the idea of a giant whale. maybe a ghost ship that roams the stormy seas.

@inbred-chimera that's a great idea showing the psychological effects that could happen, blend some horror in the world mixed with mystery, you're just sailing with your crew and weird stuff just starts to mess with the crew.

Certain individuals seeing something but you yourself see nothing,lol. This could be an event that happens if a crew member drinks himself drunk.
