Following the new dev update, I think Rare needs to be straight with us in the community about their vision and plans for the game.
If you design a content update around an easter-egg hunt, then why not wait until it is actually Easter season to do it?
I don't think it is it's just so the pirates of the sea can find there Easter egg
@closinghare208
Thats great... for them.
So, is this what people have been asking for since the game launched? I've never seen anyone ask for an update like this.

nope but it's nice to be recognized
They are recognized with Easter-eggs already in the game. Next week, you can get a commendation for finding them. That doesn't sound fun and exciting.
This sounds like an update for these people that are immortalized. What about the rest of us in the community?

The wonderful thing is that, with the way it's set up, more can always be added. Do something amazing and see if you can become a part of the lore yourself! 👍
That doesn't sound wonderful at all. I don't care about that.
I care about the threads and the time people have been putting in on these forums for nearly 2 years with ideas on a better game and this is what Rare comes out with; something nobody made a thread for (or if they did, then its so low it's negligible versus the things people wish for out of this game).
This feels like when Blizzard announced Diablo Mobile - asked nobody.

Come on now we all know the only people becoming part of the lore now are the big twitch streamers or famous people playing the game or maybe some big fan with a terminal illness
i want my poem to be in a book in the game - would be awesome :P
There twas an old sailor named Bugaboo Bill
Who roams the sea to this very day still.
Whether merchants or kings or an old privateer
The sight of his flag filled the whole world with fear.
A butcher, a madman, the vilest of swill
But there’s more to the man… that they call Bugaboo Bill.
On the flip of this coin we see the kindest of giants
For child or woman he was always compliant
Had no need for the old or the scraps of the poor
For glutton and greed was his only true score.
Now you can try your luck against the words of this tale
Fill your hold with cargo and dare to set sail
But when old Bill’s flag you do happen to see
You’ll be sorry, you didn’t listen to me~

Its just a small nice update i dont know what you are expecting from it, its not the anniversary update sometimes there are big updates and part of the monthly update is an incentive to do something.
We all want more biomes and new sea creatures but its not either this or a "easter egg hunt" we get both so stop complaining.
And they dont have to add only things that we asked for, they should have the freedom to be creative and they dont need to cater people 24/7.
They do listen to us most of the time and compared to other devs they are doing remarkable job with caring about the audience, in my opinion most of the time they did a great job but messed up at some points but the overall is good.
And at what point they havent been clear?
If you want to see the big updates then you just have to wait im afraid but they dont have to drop each month the "Forsaken Shores" size update it would have been great but not in our reality.
I, for 1, am absolutely excited for this update - it's going to give me so much more to do and things to look for! I've found a lot over the past 2 years while exploring, but I still don't believe that I've found everything, much less understood it even if I did find it. This update will help shed some light on some of that, and even reward me in the process, be very beneficial to newer players, and further reward pirates making a legend of themselves. So, why not?
I'm looking forward to this update just to know what the story is behind all those names that are in the game. I've seen a few names pop up in the forum and I love to look for those small things that've been added to it. I do know that there are gonna be people who won't like to go out and find all these easter eggs but it's only fair to the people who made it in the game to get at least their story out to everyone who comes across their easter eggs
@lord-szarvas if it where actual eggs yes, but no...
Easter eggs are just a name given to recognitions in a game and in this case for actual players that played the game.
Not all updates are for everybody and not all ideas posted are easy or at all possible to implement.
You might not like this content update but guess what you have to wait no more then a month for the next one.
And whilst not specifically asking for this content alot of posts can be found which ask for an enrichment and growth of lore available in the actual game... and guess what, WE are the lore of this game, WE the ones who did weird stuff during alphas, betas and in retail, defeating the OG meg naked with a chicken on board for instance.
Thats the thing what rare has always been saying WE as a community, We the players are sea of thieves.
Yes they are immortalized, which can happen to any and all of us btw, and we are going to be tasked by Umbra to find these immortalisations so that they can be charted and all that

well I want my skelly ether to be hanging on a gallows or on a shipwreck
You and others act as if I don't know the difference between a game easter-egg and an actual easter-egg from the holidays. I guess you don't appreciate the irony and throwback to the Blizzard red-shirt guy and his question. Maybe that went over your head.
Anyways, its funny that when me or others come on here to give feedback on what Rare is doing with the game you always fall back on the monthly update (oh just wait for the next one - arguement). Which is really sad because many updates ago, people have been dissatisfied.
Although you have a point about the community being highlighted, that's not why most of us play the game. We don't play it just to be famous within the game. We play with our friends and have fun making adventures. But, with that, requires for things to do in the game, which many of us that have been critical have already set out some good ideas to see it better.
And, I have seen easter eggs but I don't really know anything about them. Ive seen one-in-a-million shots/clips from the game all over Youtube/Reddit, but quickly those memories are forgotten and I moved on. It was fun to see it at the time, but I don't sit back and wonder about something someone did in Alpha/Beta. Again, this update is 'good for those already immortalized' as I see it.
