The devs seem to be aware and even seemed to brace the community for impact about the lack of content offered for season 2 during their podcast. Essentially, the first 6 months offer almost nothing new in terms of content. Season three will be the real decider to see if they can continue to change the game in engaging ways.

It's just kinda annoying that they have fresh content for the emporium that could really beef up the season pass. Sure the pass is less expensive, but they don't have to give out as many ancient coins as they do through the season so it's up to them to make that work out. Just a bit baffling...As is offering a pick'n'mix selection of random cosmetic items.

wait, what? where is this hate for RARE coming from? is it because they have the gull to ask people to buy new assets that add nothing but cosmetics to the game? i think your being very rude, and more than a little dramatic here.

People like me will eventually burn out but I don't blame anyone for that. We played a lot we've done a lot the game moves past us and we move on it's a part of life

Some of the directions we are headed aren't for me but that doesn't mean the game won't continue to be successful. If you're just coming in because the game is on sale or because it's on gamepass there is a whole lot to do for a long time and it's a whole lotta fun. The passes are tremendous deals for new players.

Getting tired of doing something that we do a lot of is to be expected I think a lot of times people just burning out turns into exaggerated content criticism.

I had a blast when all we had were forts and I just got stomped on all the time. All this new stuff we have to do is pretty incredible imo compared to where the game came from. Don't really see how I can slam where we are now content wise when this game was a lot of fun before all this stuff even existed. New players are entering a gold mine of entertainment that costs them very little for the hours they are going to get outta it.

I really liked the idea of the plunder pass and bought the first one. The second one, however, is really disappointing. Even more so as i have one of the items on it already.

Makes no sense that the free part of the pass is actually much better and has items i actually like and want. Does Rare not actually want people buying the premium pass?

@thedeadyoshi not sure what reskined cosmetics you’re talking about but this season brings some of the best ship cosmetics to date.

The puke-green kraken set and the more beige aristocrat set etc...
These are things that are being added to the general clothing stores that are in lieu of anything new (say if you didn't want to participate in the seasonal activities and played the game in a less committed way).

Season 1 and 2 were already pre made and planned before the release of season 1. Due to this they were structured relatively similar with no time for alterations. For season 3 we can expect them to input the feedback they’ve gathered and it should be better.

Here's hoping!

Intention of this post is just to send feedback so that we don't get more of the same hopefully. If it stays like this, I'm not gonna find a reason to revisit the game.

@illbushido305 It worries me that i am already seeing "wait till season 3, that will be the good one" - when previously it was "wait till season 2, which will be the good one".

What next, "wait till season 4 - the others were just world building" or something like that?

I'm generally easy going on seasons and content it's whatever to me I care far more about server consistency and message consistency when it comes to the original foundation of the game

but even if I were trying to be critical of content I just don't have a lot of beef this season

I dig the new merchant muling stuff. Wildly profitable and I like that it gets people moving around for max profit rather than just sitting in their separate territories

The fort isn't for my style at all and it isn't breaking the mold but it's exactly what the game needs. Massive loot, big time activity/interaction trap, just an all out chaotic activity fest that won't die down as much as the other events because of all the athena loot and just massive loot in general. It's take the good parts of the effects of FOTD and expanded them into a more consistent event. I don't really care that's it's just throwing the ingredients we already have in the pot as long as it comes out smelling and tasting good and this to me hits the spot.

Season 3 will be better.
Season 4 will be greater.
Season....something will be amazing.

Meanwhile. I’m just gonna enjoy meeting random players as normally do and play the game.

Amazing that we're three years into this game's life span and people are still foolish enough to take Rare's empty promises as fact.
