Dear Sea of Thieves developers,
Please do not feel offended by my nickname. I am very bad at making nicknames, and I found this name funny.
Now that's been cleared up, I wanna talk about the idea of the game and the hit registration.
So the idea of this game is that you cannot gain a benefit compared to another player. In PvP everyone is equal as in the amount of damage you do, reload times etc.
This idea is good, it gives a very good PvP potential. although, the hit registration isn't working properly for over 1 year now. You can see his 1 year old video on youtube about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuFNSjLerBc
Last night I got killed and sunk by Pace22 (what an honor :D), seeing him raging as he hit me 8x but I dint die as the game dint register his hits, made me create this thread.
That the game is pretty much made to PvP from this perspective, and its not working properly for over 1 year. And the fact its not been fixed but instead new cosmetics are been add into the game, made me question how things are organized in the SoT dev team. Many questions raised to my mind ''Do they really care ?'' ''Are they having problems fixing the hit registration ?'' ''Do they rather want players to focus for PvE instead?''. Next to that, there are many bugs since launch March 2018 which still haven't been fixed today. They are minor, not game breaking but annoying.
I am in the opinion that it should be fixed with top priority, as its the main core of the game, especially now with arena added. That this is not working properly for over 1 year is shameful, specially if you cant unlock anything but cosmetics, and it once worked properly.
So my question remains; How is progress of fixing the hit registration right now ?
and second of all: Why did it take you guys almost over 1 year to fix this problem?
and third of all: Why don't you hire someone to fix this problem if you cant solve it yourself ? We're all human beings, we all are limited in our capabilities.
I love the game, the scenery, how you improve yourself by controlling your ship and everything what comes to that. But the fact I cant snipe someone properly, made me really sad. Using the sword is almost the only way to kill someone effectively. Been called a ''sword lord'' over a thousand times still make me laugh. But Specially for new players who recently bought the game it is very unfortunate it isn't working as it should.
I hope you can find yourself in my perspective of view, and that the dev teams prioritize to fix this.
Best regards,
P.S. I dint create the youtube video.
