Randomization of Islands

@saws-n-sins

Sorry but it would be awful.. I know my way around fairly well now, have a nice big map up next to my desk... and.. and.. all you want to do is ruin everything!!

An idea to maybe make the game feel fresh, without actually adding anything new. For maybe each server would have its own "randomized" island spawns.

For example when you load into a server all the islands on the main map (not ashen part) could spawn randomly compared to different servers. Like where snakes island is, instead of snake island being there another island cold be there. Would make the world artificially feel new every time you played cause the islands wouldn't always be in the same place every single time. Outposts be random as well, but not complete random. Like the outposts will still be where they are now but could be a different outpost than usual.

For ashen side of the map since there is only one outpost I guess with this idea it would always just be where it's at since there is no other outpost for it to randomize with, but all the other islands could be random.

I don't if I explained this well (not the best at explaining things) but in my head the way I see it, it would be a cool idea if it's possible to even do. Would feel like an adventure each game cause you would have no idea where each island would actually be until you actually get in and look at your map table.

Awful idea.......

I like that the islands stay where they are and the map isn’t randomized. It makes the sea of thieves feel like a real place that I can go to. That and I have the map pretty well memorized and know which general direction I need to go in for most destinations.

I wouldn't use the word incompetent. Please don't put words in my mouth, that's not very mature.

Rare have been and are still struggling with numerous bugs. Some of them just prove quite resilient to deal with. Doesn't necessarily mean they are incompetent. They could be hard to detect. Rare could be understaffed. Really, it could be a number of reasons. But the fact is, there's a lot of bugs going around in SoT as is. I just can't begin to imagine what will happen if islands begin to randomize.

And everyone is working from home too; the code for SoT is probably massive. Finding bugs in that much of code is literally trying to find a needle in a haystack.

@moratorydrop253 It's not. Server merges, voyages, etc. would be affected.
