Season 17 [Smugglers]

  • My own two cents but here is there official patch notes
    https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/topic/180260/release-notes-3-5-0

    Main Release:
    As like many of the last seasons. The “Acts” are three parts for three months. First month, all we have is a single voyage and new Non-Faction group to play with.
    Poor start as always, I personally hate having to wait months for a full season content. But I understand why…got yo make sure each release is not gonna break.

    Message in bottles::
    Unless I read. Sounds like majority of all message in bottles will just be smuggler runs. What point?

    Voyage:
    Your marked somewhat on the map. So careful with those kegs of yours.

    Black Powder Kegs:
    The highlight of the whole seasons. Sad but true. Not even gonna bother turning them in. Just stack pile them on outposts and wait…(wait for them to be nerfed lol)

    Skeleton ships:

    Skeleton Ships are now guaranteed to have a Black Powder Barrel aboard

    What kind of nonsense is this?! Sure makes sinking them 100% but come on! If I want the keg, I got to board and safeguard it. That is if I want them. Sigh

    Smuggler shipwrecks:
    Can’t recall if this replaces current shipwrecks or not. But the one tiny thing I dislike about these…is the fact they have “air bubbles”. Sigh…if these shipwrecks are just secondary ones. Fine but if they add air bubbles to the original shipwrecks too, what next? Kegs do 0 damage while in water against ships? (Codfish)

    Reaper rowboats:
    Return of silly rowboat. permanent addition. Wait until they appear in Hourglass fights. Muahahaha!

    That my two cents. Ima out of here. ^_^

  • Not fond of this new update already and I don’t even know much about it, but it is what it is.

  • This season is a big joke on the part of the developers, but hey, they told us to be patient! LOL! We pay them, and on top of that, they give us cra**y updates!

  • they told us to be patient!

    I'm always Patient. After all, other games I play as well. Soo...I can be busy and wait.
    MGS3 Delta, Delta Force, and Xbox Helldiver 2, GoW Reloaded. :P

    If Rare or Microsoft wanna drag there feet on better content. Oh well.

  • @zeyrniyx Yeah I would never attack the devs. I think they've for the most part done great things with this game. Today is definitely a miss though, but we'll see what comes of it.

  • The smugglers stuff is ok I guess. Another activity to do is something. Probably not enough to base a third of the season around. I'm glad the commendations aren't too bad. Given some of numbers of recent coms, this was refreshing. Doing hundreds of a what is essentially a merchant voyage with the deliveries is less accessible spots would have been awful

    Speaking of Merchants. The over abundance of Smuggler's bottles is awful for trying to get the Merchant Cannon/Fruit/Wood/Keg commendations done. They were already brutal, but for the next while it's even worse. Regular bottles still exist, but they are hard to come by. Presumably coral bottles are equally rare now. I feel sorry for anyone still working on their Breaths of the Sea. Probably keeping that voyage on the quest table and scrapping the smugglers bottles completely would be better (or fix the Merchant quests, but that is another discussion completely)

    New kegs are fun. Haven't used the keg rowboats properly yet, but I'm sure there is fun to be had with them .

  • Rare don’t take this to heart peoples responses to the update, I think it is good
