something special for the first 100 pirate legends?

  • Eam Samaraka

    when the game came out it was boring as hell and i still wanted to see what the Legend hidout had in store for us, im pretty certain im one of the first pirate legends if not even top 10 and i feel like we gained nothing for our achievments, to this day i feel like the race to pirate legend was a waste. giving that golden 1 year legend set feels very unspecial too me cause having a years time is nothing compared to what me and my husband went through. dont worry i dont think they will waste money and time to make something special for us but man, just color a bird green or something, i wanna show something off that only few have.

    just my toughts, sorry about the long post.

    Entitlement is such a problem in gaming these days.

    @d3adst1ck if it were only that, but the feeling of wasted time and effort haunts me to this day, especially after all these empty promises that havent been kept too this day such as "leaving the pirate hideout with your ship" or "naming your ship" and "those very special quest" that werent that special after all.

    @eam-samaraka If you feel like you wasted your time, why did you continue playing? Play for fun, not because you expect the developers to reward you for your "hard work".

    @d3adst1ck infact i didnt play for a while i came back a few weeks back. also being dismissive about my topic just cause you dont agree is quiet the wrong way to reply dont you think?

    anyway back when the game came out it was a real hard grind, especially when you werent server hopping for forts so putting things in quotation marks is quiet rude.

    we worked really hard for literally nothing but dissapointment and im sure we werent the only one, we simply have nothing to show for it, thats what grinds my gears.

    @eam-samaraka It's not rude at all. It's rude to think that you "worked hard" at playing a game and deserve compensation for it.

    @d3adst1ck thats a very short sighted mindset to have especially with e-sports and tournamets, but i leave you to your opinion, its not my place to tell you whats wrong or right, nor is it yours. good luck.

    Do we have eSports and tournaments for prizes in Sea of Thieves? No we don't, so I fail to understand what point you were trying to make. Sure, if there is a tournament and you win and the tournament promised to award you a prize then you deserve to get the prize.

    Just for playing a game on your own? Nah.

    @eam-samaraka it was never a race to legend to begin with.

    Those that achieved it in the first year got something for their efforts, the cut off point was established to give those that stuck with the game a reward and was set in the future to avoid backlash from people that were near to achieving it to give them fair warning.

    The award for your efforts is that you can boost that you are an OG legend if you so please. It was a goal you set for yourself, you achieved it and you should be the one patting yourself on the back.

    We are two years in... aren't you a little late to be asking for handouts based on your past?

    There was reward without Rare bestowing more.

    Accomplishment of reaching a hefty goal.
    Displaying cosmetics only PL can attain.
    Having the pleasure of popping down a voyage for others to partake and leaving.
    Being one of the only ones to open the stairs and players going "wow so neat" etc.

    Don't see the need for anything more.

    @cotu42 its not that easy, back then everyone was in on the race, there was a whole movement with "#notmypiratelegend" and what not.

    and being late doesnt mean things dissipated, theres still no legend content whatsoever aswell, the new content is pretty fun tho.

    that was fun for like 3-4 days until more and more showed up, nowdays it means even less, especially with PL being even easier to optain then back then. oh my god those chicken nightmares :P

    @eam-samaraka it was never a race and I was there... the not my pirate legend showcased it wasn't worth it and people should just slow down and enjoy the trip. How were you surprised it was bad and I am still waiting for proper legend voyages.

    You still went full force for the legend status, I went for fort hopping, shenanigans and relaxed solo voyaging instead. I might not be able to boost about world rankings, but was the second in my community by a small margin to hit legend. First Athena rep earned as a legend and all that hard work of chicken hauling.

    Rare gave us and more a token of appreciation for anyone that reached the legend in the first year. I personally thought they should have done something for Athena 10s aswell, but ooh well.

    I am a legend of old and neither of us should require a token. You set a goal in an open world setting and achieved it. If you regret it now, maybe next time in a similar game or situation take a moment and enjoy the atmosphere instead of rushing straight to end game.

    @eam-samaraka You had no reason to be disappointed after hitting pirate legend. As soon as Prod1gyX broadcast his achievement you should have known exactly what you were getting into. It was clear there would be no legend ships emerging from a secret cave, no captaincy, and so on. You decided, despite that, to carry on. If you decided to grind and make it dull on yourself along the way, that’s on you. It would not make sense anyways to grant something to the first 100 after the fact. That does not inspire activity. You want to give players something to shoot for, not something after the goal and deadline have long passed. That just sounds like someone seeking status.

    We all worked hard to get a lot of things in this world.
    I know I was one of the first to get the pirate legend cannons, legendary sea dog and triumphant sea dog. But I don't look to be commended I just remember the people I know I played against/with who got it around the same time as me. That's enough for me.

    You wrote two years ago about someone who thought he made a world record in loot:
    i wonder who really cares, the world record is not written down anywhere, pictures can be faked, like i can count if i want but im sure i wont see all of them. i couldnt care less.

    Well, i couldn't care less about your demand.

    @eam-samaraka Ugh. You knew there was nothing really there at PL, but you raced to get there anyway... and now you want something for your self-acknowledged waste of time?

    Pretty sure I was the 1st one to sing "America the Beautiful" in French on the seas in this game. Can I too get a special cosmetic? Maybe even a red, white, and blue monkey.

    There's a catch to doing something like this, For example people would get downright insulted by implementing this after not even mentioning anything about it (when the game launches), and Rare would just receive backlash from a whole lot of players for doing it rather then making people happy (which it was suppose to do right?), Something like this isn't done for obvious reasons.
    IF they indeed implement something it has so be something so subtle that no one could possibly get upset by it, but then again, cosmetics is all we have in this game so that might not be so easy.

    Wasted time and effort haunts you? I would relax, you simply grinded for a title on a video game. its not like you spent years researching a cure for some weird disease and then when you almost had it some other sciencey doctor beat you to it when you were so close.

    I mean seriously really relax. I never understood the race to pirate legend. Honestly in my opinion it seemed like a waste which is why I did not do it. Heck I am still not a PL and that is fine with me, I dont like to grind games to death.

    I do not really know how to put this but I am sorry just because you decided to rush to PL does not mean you deserve extra cookies with your milk.

    I'd love to see something like this happen.

    I know I was in a batch of first to PL, but no idea if I'm in the top 100. Even if I get nothing, it would be really nice to see the first 100 get something.

    A lot of people here will say it's a bad idea, because it's cool to hate on OG PLs, but it takes nothing away from others.

    Some can say you are/we're feeling "entitled", but if they're mad because someone got something and they didn't, to me, THEY sound like the ones that feel "entitled".

    The argument now is:
    Player says I want something because I did something. Others state, you are entitled.
    A different player says the others are entitled because they won't get what the player wants.

    Interesting.

    How about the last 100 to reach PL get something, for you know, sticking it out to the end.

    Aye... but they don't deserve something special. They still remain to be a pirate once they set sail once again.

    I don't hate OG legends, but don't think that they are due some special treatment either.

    By all means I hit the criteria of an OG legend myself, did the grind, was Athena 10 before the commendations and things like killing Megalodons started earning you rep, earned all my Athena Rep after being a legend the old fashion way with voyages, with animal cages.

    We aren't special, we just got there before all the new and easier ways to get there. A line was made, legend within a year... why should we need more.
