Pirate city please!

    Please add guild hideouts or some sort of social hub Rare!

    I can't imagine a game like Sea of Thieves not having a shady tavern where tales of grand adventures are being shared over a grog, a port where one might go to recruit the right pirates for a job, a guild or just even to flaunt their hard earned cosmetics.

    Roleplay has never been given a true space to exist despite this game seemingly being tailored for it. The reality of adventure gameplay effectively kills any attempt at it, and it shows. Adventure gameplay heavily favors antisocial behaviors.

    It's no wonder most of this playerbase dwells on solo sloops. We need a space where players can interact without the threat of their loot being stolen, goof around, meet new pirates. With the whole thing being tied to an engaging gameplay loop, it would be a net benefit.

    Thoughts?

    While i dont think the number of solo players is because of a lack of a social hub, i would love if there was a sort of gild hub as a pre sail area to talk and set up your crews. Especially if it could be customized by higher up guild members. Rare has hinted at indirectly that they might be planning hideouts of some sort, but its not directly stated, and that was over a year ago.

    It was one of my first posts here waaay back before here was here as we know it.

    But after years I personaly don't see a need or place for social hubs like that in seasion based adevnture game. And as Rare has very finite development resources I would love to see eny of them put into more bug fixin or updating existing conent.

    As hard as it sounds Bacon has right the ferry is kinda place for that.

    @ghutar Anyone on the ferry is likely going to be salty because they've just been killed, though. That or they're anxious to return to defend their ship.

    I feel like this city would either need to be a place you have to teleport to in its own server or it would be a game mode you select from the menu outright, because it WOULD be cool to visit a full blown pirate city or at least a really big tavern with seating for 50+ players. The only problem is arriving or leaving without other players trying to kill you would get tedious (I imagine you couldn't hurt each other inside the city).

    Because yeah, there's no good way to socialize and find crew members currently and that's a real shame. Open crew is nice, but it's luck of the draw and who knows if you'll jibe at all.
