My post was removed from Reddit, and the mods won't say why. Thoughts?

@shredder-s47 That's my thoughts exactly. All I want is for Rare to acknowledge that they have content issues and lay out their plans to fix it. If it takes 6 months im cool with that, but let me know.

@feenox Communication is the most important part of running ongoing games these days

Reddit mods will remove posts they don't like the look of, especially if there are too many negative ones. It's simple potluck whether yours stays or goes. My question about brig abuse on the AMA a few weeks ago only lasted a couple of minutes before getting removed.

Its probably a conspiracy. You just overturned the first stone of it.

... you can communicate your constructive criticism here, on the official forum. who cares about reddit?

@blg-strong-dad I think my points had merit. There haven't been any comments (and still haven't) by devs that address lack of content or an overly repetitive quest system. I think those are valid questions to ask, no?

@feenox
This was put up by the devs yesterday

Content plans

We hear and understand that people are keen to understand what our plans are for updating Sea of Thieves, beyond the top experience fixes. We are currently in the midst of adjusting our roadmap based on feedback we have received since launch, with a ton of planning meetings continuing through this week. We plan to release a video next week updating everyone on how we plan to evolve Sea of Thieves moving forward. We totally understand that people want to see this ASAP, but the critical thing here is to have the right plan that allows Sea of Thieves to grow in the right way.

Full article here.

@kotetsuchiha This was put up by the devs hours ago, not yesterday. And it still doesn't address anything. I'll believe it when I see it. Not saying that to be negative, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just window dressing.

Edit: I realize that it says 4/4 /18 on the page, but it was posted around 3-4pm EST.

Before I paid my $60, I watched at least ten video reviews.
Those video reviews made clear what content was last seen in Beta.
The entire history of gaming is that un-beta tested content at launch is minimal (if not negligible).
Logically, all the content I was going to get with my $60 "at launch" was in those reviews.
I am totally satisfied with the truthfulness of the reviews. Most were negative. The one positive review said that the game was great to look at so get it. Seriously - the review said to pay the man for the art alone.
I'm happy. I did my due diligence.
Rather pay $60 and "hope" more content comes along than jump into a Free-to-Play game that requires a minimum investment of $100 in the first week just to meet the demands of your guild.

let them make their video next week like they said and tell you?? maybe they would rather put content into the game the players want to see rather then have put the content in and then players not like it if by next week the video doesn't satisfy I'm with you 100%

the dlcs are going to be free and they plan on expanding the game. They already have plans for pets and micro transactions for specialty skins. So yeah the game is limited for the moment being. But later on if the player numbers stay with the game to keep the servers running they want to add more factions and voyages. Pretty much what I'm saying is. Is that it's like Christmas with no set date you don't know what's inside that present and you don't know when you're going to be allowed to open it. just chill drink some grog and bang out some voyages.

Clearly you weren't there for the NMS drama; this is nothing like that.

SoT devs have already patched parts of the game, improved upon game mechanics that players wanted, and have been updating us pretty regularly... and this is only 2 weeks into the game! Additionally, there haven't been any big lies that they stated about the game.

The NMS developers straight up lied about the game being multiplayer, went silent within a couple days of its release and never patched or said anything until MONTHS later, and the "surprise" endgame literally just restarted your game.

Sorry... Not the same in the slightest.

@ogilikpatoez You didn't read my post at all. I am not asking for anything immediately. What I said was that the game was flawed and they had yet to address it. When I made my post the most recent update had not yet been made, but it still doesn't address core issues with the game. None of my criticism had any ill intent behind it. Seems like people have issues with criticism everywhere.

I paid $60 for a game that came out in March. I don't mind waiting for extra content, but the base game IS lacking, the quests are repetitive. It needs to be addressed. Christmas was release day. I don't want Christmas in july.

@feenox
Haha. I live in the future, so this was yesterday for me.
But, the important statement is, they plan to release a video next week regarding this issue.

In the meantime there are some good threads where you can suggest the content types you want to see, as opposed to simply saying there isnt enough content.

Start with this one. with over 3600 replies, I doubt Rare will ignore it.

@feenox you do realize that the game was released 2 weeks ago right? Cause that's like having Hanukkah and then demanding to celebrate Christmas. And I wasn't digging on your criticism I was just making a statement thats all lol. You just got to realize they need to fix the core problems before adding more content. Cause you'll just pile more problems on top of the ones you already have.

@kotetsuchiha I've contributed to plenty of similar threads on the subject. I was looking for people to ask Rare as a voice what their plans are. I feel slighted as a customer that the game we were told was a "stress test", and not representative of the game, was by and large the game.

I paid $60 bucks (partially to get into the beta, so I guess buyer beware) but the game we got is short on things to do, and Rare knew that during beta and up to launch.

Maybe they had a gun to their head to get the game out on time, maybe they thought people like myself would be silent, but I promise you it's people critical of the games faults that will get it fixed. I'll continue to be critical of the game until they do fix it, or until im fed up and I just quit.

If you paid me to paint your house, and I told you it would be done today, would you be upset that I didn't finish the back half two weeks later?

@feenox to be honest I would be more angry if it looked horrible and I already paid so I could careless how long it takes you... Cause I ain't paying you by the hour just as long as it gets finished

@Feenox
I agree being critical is a good thing.
The original complaint in this thread was that there is a lack of communication reg content.
The game is out just over two weeks, and in those two weeks (both short due to public holidays) the devs have released two updates, one specifically addressing player complaints. There have been several video releases and news releases explaing that the devs are focusing primarily on server issues and solving bugs.
The latest update specifically says they will talk about tje roadmap for content in the next developer video. Which is due next week.
The Devs dont post on the forums, but they shouldn't.
They also dont address every issue st once, and they shouldn't.
But to claim a lack of communication is disingenuous.

I agree we should be critical, but it needs to be done constructively. Point out issues. Offer suggestions for content. Complain about bugs.

This is not addressed at you personally, but the majority of people posting about problems are saying the equivilent of this game s*x they offer no improvement, suggetions and most offer only a vague example of their problems, or fundamentaly fail to understand the game; ie. solo sloop is too hard

I am glad you are contributing to the discussion in a helpful way, but try to remember Rare is a small team they will take time to address all the issues and they wont speak on them all at once.
The most important issues are not content, but stability of the game right after release. A whole lot of new players brings a lot of new problems; see brig abuse and spawn killing; server stability issues and bugs that are turning up.
As much as I, and everyone else, wants content. These issues unfortunately have to take priority.
