Pets and saving the game

  • I think that you should either let players buy pets for a large amount of coins or let them take the animals to become pets, I also think u should have an auto save so that when players stop playing they can continue where they left off

    Pets are specific to the Emporium as a method of making people actually buy them, as they are only cosmetic it does not provide a pay-to-win advantage. Saves don't fit with the session-based gameplay of Sea of Thieves.

  • @mythicalgirl11 so pets were always intended to be an microtransaction item. they should remain that way.

    As far as saving goes, this is a session based game. Your currency and reputation is saved from session to session. Saving more than that is just a bad idea.

    Why?

  • @mythicalgirl11

    Start point is always the same, at the docks with a new crew and ship. The game saves non stop and there are no take backs. You cannot and never will be able to carry over from session to session the possessions of the crew: ship, voyage, any treasure on board, supplies, etc.

    Pets are their money makers, dont expect one soon for free any time soon
    Ancient skeletons or paying are the only way to get them.

  • @mythicalgirl11 auto save is just a bad idea, it wouldnt work. it would be broken for pvp and in pve it would remove the importance of it.

  • @cotu42 monkey is free as a twitch drop. Have to have a twitch prime account and link it with Sea of Thieves.

  • If you were able to save you could just steal someone's loot and then log out and re-log into a new server, it would be broken for PvP so I can see why it hasn't been implemented.

    I still need to pay for Prime? I don't know what you define as free... but paying a subscription fee is not something I would define as free. Buying a package deal is still paying for it.

  • Normally id agree, id prefer to tame pets instead of buy.

    But since ive bought a pet, id be angry if they made them free for everyone.

    If pets became free, id want a refund.
    on the money i spent on my pet.

    They’d therefore unlikely implement a new system.

  • @cotu42 that's a fair point.

    You can have a free trial and cancel mate.
    Thats what i did.
    Didnt spend a penny.

    So it is free if you do it right.

  • @daringclarky if you cheat the system, but cool tip 😋
