False Advertising

  • The game was sold on Steam with the tag of "Online Co-Op." Because every crew I've ever met is hostile since the very hour I started playing and was murdered by four people for trying to learn fishing solo, this tag is false advertising.

    Every game mode is Battle Royale and the game should have been advertised this way. If you're going to force PVP down my throat after charging me $40 up front without even waiting one hour, what do you expect except for a negative review?

    Finally, why is there no way to contact the developers in private with complaints sans an entire community of the same sociopaths sinking my ship for fishing alone innocently brigading my complaints to justify their "popular" one dimensional play style of Battle Royale?

    That's an anti-trust complaint waiting to be filed.

    Can you, or can you not, join a crew with 1 or more other crew members and co-operate towards an objective over the internet? Yes, you can (this means it has online co-op).

    Good luck with your anti trust complaint. LOL

    I didn't make this post for rebuttals from Battle Royale dude bros. I made it to get a response from Rare and/or gather people who desire a similar outcome. You are justifying a commercial complaint against Rare.

  • @raimyah Don't know what you're talking about. Most of your complaint is nonsense, and you failed to research a product before buying it.

  • @raimyah hey friend not to be mean but it sounds like you did not do your research. Just because there is co-op (co-operative) play does not mean that every player has to co-operate with you and thinking as such is foolish.

    Any ammount of research would show you exactly what this game is about anf how player interactions work. My recommendation, even if you are just going to fish, find some people to sail with and teach you how to play.

  • You are all disrupting and derailing this topic instead of helping or being Rare with an official response. Please stop brigading my topic to justify your Battle Royale obsession and move on. I'm obviously not here to be criticized for my opinion. I'm here to complain directly to Rare and get help from (trust me) the majority of potential gamers who are sick of Battle Royale being force fed to them by every developer under the sun.

  • I don't think you know what Battle Royale actually is, because this game isn't anything close to one.

    Also, if you didn't want people replying you should have taken this to email or support ticket instead of posting on a public forum.

  • @raimyah 1) this is not a direct line to rare and if you dont want to discuss your post then you have come to the wrong place and havnt read the forum rules

    1. this is not remotely a battle royal the closest thing to that would be arena mode
  • im not sure what the issue is. you can invite up to 3 of your mates for a co-op game.
    why does the pvp bother you? just think of them as just another npc you and your mates need to defeat. in the end, whats the difference?

    Maybe instead of breaking forum rules and doing exactly what I warned you not to do in the initial post you could have helped me actually find the ticket system. You're really eager to harass new players.

    Four player Battle Royale is still just that. Four player Battle Royale. The game has no Co-Op mode. And nothing in the game discourages PVP from being forced onto inexperienced players, wasting many hours of their time and in game resources to literal sociopaths boarding their ship with a powder keg. This isn't even fun. I hardly qualify it as being a game.

    Funnily enough there is, but I suppose you were too busy being angry to realise this.

    Go to their profile then click the three dots then "Start new chat with..." Though I doubt they're gonna have a 1 on 1 conversation with you and talk you through all your problems.

    Nah, I just like responding in kind to nonsense.

    Literally no game does this. They're not gonna give you their phone number so you can talk trash about their game lol.

    Funnily enough, there are international laws against refusing customer complaints.

  • @raimyah ????? Refusing customer complaints??? You just DID submit a complaint. On a public forum. This is your complaint. You have no right to demand Joe Neate's phone number and start telling him why his game sucks and that it'll fail.

    Four player Battle Royale is still just that. Four player Battle Royale. The game has no Co-Op mode.

    i suppose there is no forced co-op. there are, however, multiple discord communities that take over a server and enforce a server-wide alliance co-op. thats probably something i would investigate if i were you.

  • It is clear that the forum population is as toxic as the game population. If not more. You will gladly brigade and bully "unpopular" opinions from this platform before people who agree can become empowered to ensure the developers create the game in a toxic echo chamber.

    Thank you for proving my point to the very letter of my unedited original post. Now if you would all kindly stop bullying me and help and/or stop this nonsense, that would be appreciated. I am still failing to find a ticket system or complaint system beyond filing a BBB complaint.

  • Another one of these 'if you disagree with me you're toxic and you bully people' posts huh?

    You entered knowing I'm not even here for your opinion. This is harassment.

    This is public forum. I am entitled to share my opinion on ideas and suggestions. The fact that you are claiming this as me harassing you? Jeez.

    Could you please leave the stalking and looting of players' intended accomplishments to the game itself? Harassment isn't acceptable behavior on any forum. Thank you.

  • @raimyah so again, sorry that you feel like you were lied to but the game does not hide what it is. I feel like you can find just about everything about this game and gameplay by looking into it.

    Furthermore, this is a open world pirate game called sea of thieves. Based on the title you can expect seas... and thieves... not a game called bass pro fishing. As such, expecting to be able to fish without some kind of thief seems kind of foolish

  • @raimyah the point of a public forum is for opinions of other players

    You don't really need to look that far. Right above the "Online Co-Op" tag that the OP mentioned in the very first sentence of the very first post that appears on the Steam store page for Sea of Thieves is a tag that says "Online PVP".

  • @raimyah said in False Advertising:

    God you're a lost cause. I give up

    If the next reply isn't teaching me how to successfully work the so-called "ticket" system that exists, I'm filing a BBB complaint and including every username in this thread in my complaint. You are holding my attention in the hopes that you will stop harassing me and help me. And you are breaking forum rules.

  • @raimyah I didn't break the rules and I wasn't replying to you, so stop harassing me.

    If you want to know how the ticket system works, try the support link that is prominently featured in the header of this website.

    The only leg you have to stand on is a Battle Royale addiction. You chose to waste my time and yours trying to change my mind instead of helping me figure out a confusing ticket system I still doubt exists beyond a screen of disruptive FAQ.

  • @d3adst1ck There's no winning

    Way to gaslight the victim. You're all only proving me right when you have every opportunity to be friendly and helpful despite a minor disagreement over a product and/or service. Clearly the forum rules don't apply to you because you agree with the developers.

  • @raimyah Here you go: https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new

    please stop talking

  • @mferr11 said in False Advertising:

    Last time I checked, this is my thread and you don't own me. Thank you for helping, however.

  • @raimyah no one is gas lighting you. You are being rude and hostile to people because you didnt do research into the gameplay and then you are telling everyone else that they are wrong about the gameplay and that their opinions dont matter. Not a very smart approach to the forum.

    Your origional post is not asking for the support site claim link

    Please stop brigading and bullying me for my opinion in an attempt to change it and/or silence it. There are rules on this forum.

  • This has to be a troll thread.

    • Threatened legal action
    • Cites Anti-Trust (which is anti-competitive behaviour by a monopoly, not false advertising, nor is it a "minor disagreement")
    • Incorrectly labels the game as a Battle Royale game mode several times
    • Invokes threat of the Better Business Bureau, an entirely useless entity
    • Hostile towards any and all replies, including accusing everyone of breaking forum rules
    • Complains about public replies to a public thread in a public forum as 'brigading' and 'bullying'

    Is this a modern art piece or for a thesis of some kind?
