Introducing The Twitch Prime Pirate Pack

  • @musicmee a dit dans Introducing The Twitch Prime Pirate Pack :

    Any more good names for your purple monkey anyone?

    I named it Rain! lol

  • @jetorchidee97 Aye, it was just raining purple monkeys out on the seas last night.

    Named mine, 'Haze'
    Or may call him, 'Sleep Purple'
    Or anytime we are on a lagoon, 'The Purple Lagoon'

  • Cries in non prime

    Looks like I might have to go pirating to get a sub. 😏🏴‍☠️

  • Good luck trying to get Prime/Twitch/XBOX to talk properly...

    Two things, just in case you are not aware:

    1. if you have Amazon Prime, that includes Twitch Prime. You just need to link your Amazon to your Twitch account, and then to Sea of Thieves.

    2. if 1. doesn't apply, there is also a Twitch Prime free 7-day trial on offer at the moment, which it will show you if you go to get this drop. Just do that and cancel it immediately (you'll find a link to your account to do so in the email they send out).

  • @mr-dragon-raaar

    Yep, those 3

  • @realstyli

    Aye there is a catch need to manually cancel the free trial or you get a bill for automatic membership following the free trial 🧐

  • @extremely-intel euhm, what does this have to do with europe, twitch prime is available almost globally i think including asian countries.

    This is available for the americas, europ, oc and asia.

  • I havent been on the forums in quite awhile now. Its awesome to see youre still making these kinds of posts after all this time. Its even cooler to see youre a mod now. Youre a legend @Musicmee

  • Claimed mine last night as soon as it went live. No issues claiming it, it was really easy.
    Kind of wish the full hull was purple as I don't think it looks too good on the sloop, but the sails go nicely with the kraken hull anyway so I'll use that instead!

    Love my little purple monkey, just called him Twitch for now.

    Yay, free monkey.

    But boy, I'd sure be p***** if I had spent money on a pet only for them to give one away for free.

    Its not free. You have to have a paid subscription to Amazon and agree to be an advertisement for it in game. I'm a player, not an advert, so I wont have one.

  • Another exclusive set of items. Couldn't you guys at least give people a way to earn things in game after the fact? Slap a premium price tag on the ship set or something? Feels like most ship sets the base game gets are overpriced recolours these days with original sets being limited to the emporium or promotions.

    Should also mention that I don't care to have these items thrown after me, it would be way more interesting to find a new set at the shipwrights and work towards it, than every new promo set becoming the new default set for new players.

    It's pretty much free if you use a free trial of Prime for it though, which to me wasn't well thought through.

    It kind of is. They are hoping for a number of things:

    1. most people will forget to cancel.
    2. some people will try out Prime Video, because it's free for a time, and get hooked.
    3. they're collecting some data on the linked accounts, which is useful to them.
    4. it's an in-game advertisment for Prime.
  • All linked up and got the My Little Pony set.

    Going rock the Rainbow Flag and shoot my purple monkey at people.

  • @skirakzalus

    1 the emporium sets are commemorations to RARE heritage games (banjo and kazooie, killer insting and perfect dark

    2 the promotional sets of which we have 3 now (Halo, Gears of War and Twitch) are done with partners and colored/styled for them apart from the twitch one none of them where premium and even the twitch one is free for those who dont have prime (since its at least 7 dats free) or also free for people who already and are using twitch/amazon prime

    Yes they have done recolours, you wanna know why ? Because people where complaining about the original time limited sets and their inavailability, instead of stabbing the “og’s” in the back they gave recolours for everyone so the original time limited items stayed original.

    And apart from that they have been making a real effort to complete alot of old sets that where missing parts, both in clothes AND ship parts

    Wait, where's the MLP set? I want a Pinky Pie themed Livery lol

    Gonna use the Prime trial and my employee discount to order some Christmas gifts lol. (Don't get excited it's 10% off with a 100$ annual max 🙄)

    Grape Ape was an amazing toon back in the day lol.

    Nah. It's just what the Celestial Livery reminds me of, lol.

  • Who approved that horrible figurehead tho?

    Pinky Pie 😋

  • I was surprised twitch prime loot actually was something good, let alone for this great game!

  • Any more good names for your purple monkey anyone?

    Andross

  • @callmebackdraft

    1. How does that even relate to my point?

    2. What do you mean with premium in this context? The prime set really only is free for people who use prime anyways. Can't expect people to not have used their free trial at some other point.

    And besides that there isn't really an explaination on why Rare doesn't keep those sets in the game to get through another way after the promotion is done. Apart of course for their tiresome idea of making most additions exclusive, which in my eyes only hurts the game. Same with them raising the expectations that past event sets would never reutrn to begin with. Nice way to exclude a whole catalouge from an increasing amount of players.
    The whole thing about all those cosmetics being somehow better because others can't have them is petty af.

    But yeah, credits to them for making an effort to complete old sets now. Also some of the clothes look nice. Though it's weird that some people will now be able to get the ashes cannons etc but never have a chance at the first half of the set.

  • @skirakzalus
    You complained about the emporium cosmetics thats why i brought that up...

    On your twitch prime part, no they cant but us players can also be smart and just use a dummy email account (hotmail/gmail etc accounts are set up in seconds) and link that to claim it, you can then use a free period again

    For the people that can now purchase the ashen sets, in the future their will be a recolour for the og ashen set

  • Woof these are the ugliest cosmetics in the game . I'll admit I own them but to see them on me ship for any longer than to just check them out one time I'd have to get paid! I hope your writing your apology to twitch prime members as I write this review! Lol I know you can do better than this!

  • @timboagogo or them awful looking sails?

  • @captain-coel sagte in Introducing The Twitch Prime Pirate Pack:

    @musicmee PSA twitch prime is included in amazon prime

    Is there just a trial for free within amazon prime? Because it said something about 30 days for free and then about 7 Euro monthly...did I understand something wrong there?

  • @schwammlgott You should just be able to sign in with your Amazon account to Twitch and it will notice you have Amazon Prime?

  • @musicmee There is definitely a bug here though that I still can't get around.
    When I try to connect my Amazon .co.uk account to Twitch it tries to connect to Amazon .com and as such it then throws an exception and won't make the connection.

    I tried to use my credentials on the US version of the site and activate a trial of prime there, but that, as you know started a 2 hour long battle of the wits with Amazon to have it cancelled as that did nothing as well!

    I can't be the only person annoyed that their Prime membership isn't working to redeem this item? I have Prime, I should therefore be OK to have Twitch Prime, but sadly "computer says no"...

  • @musicmee I did, I already got the stuff too, but I want to know if it costs extra, or did I understand something wrong...?

  • @sshteeve yeah, this is weird...on mine it also says "test prime", but I got it already...

    Just go to the earnable goodies and press the button to get them, it guides you there then...

  • Like many, this is good way to use your free trial.
    Have had twich in over a year maybe 2. but no reason to use the free trial on till now.

  • @sshteeve Have you seen the following article?

    https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/twitch-prime-guide?language=en_US#option1

  • @musicmee yup, used that the other night when I was in the middle of all that madness!
