Vocal minority cry goodbye, let's hear whose staying and why!

  • @joesakabe
    Xbox one and pc player here. Mostly controller use only. Love the xbox kids who cry, love the cross play option and love the pvp/pve aspect of it all. If you're reading this and hate sea of thieves look up what ubisoft just released. (their version of sea of thieves) if yall hate sea of thieves look up that game! lol your mind will quickly be changed back to loving this game.

  • For the last time I've had some ahole sail up and sink me. You get no points for sinking people. I had no treasure to take. He just did it to be an a. So guess what? I'm done. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Goodbye.

  • Good work so far, Rare. Keep it up :) And you're a good guy, @Joesakabe for reminding us to point that out. :)

  • I love Sea of Thieves. The art, the sound, the design. It's a fantastic playground. The plans for future support are impressive. I have been playing games for decades and Sea of Thieves presents something fresh, and interesting. Great sailing to all.

  • I love the game ... which is why I’m desperate for Rare to reinstate the render distance they had at launch! After the 1st patch it has been nerfed considerably and no matter how much they add to the game if they can’t fix this issue the game will be severely damaged.

  • @tyburn-ketch I think this issue is hardware specific... I play on Xbox one, and a Nvidia/Intel PC, mid high specs. I haven't noticed a change in draw distance and if anything distant objects look a bit better since the latest patch. Do you have any screenshots of the issue? I am curious what Sea of Thieves looks like on different machines.

  • @lord-sphinktus

    Unfortunately I don’t have any screen shots to hand ... I do know though that this issue is cross platform as many with pcs and xboxes have noticed this change. Items now “pop” into view (rendering) when they didn’t at launch.

  • @tyburn-ketch maybe it's a bug, or storage/streaming issue with certain hardware within people's PC/console. I have Sea of Thieves installed on my fastest drive on both PC and Xbox so maybe that why I'm not getting the bug... Or maybe it's just slightly different GPU SKUs exposing some piece of bad code... I'm sure they will find and fix the issue ASAP.

  • I've already got my $60 worth of entertainment, and they just announced they're adding more and they've been clear they want this game to last ten years.

    By the stench of a kraken's f**t, why would I leave now?

    I will still sail till the Seas freeze over then walk the ice and keep exploring.

    I know that some of the updates so far have been lackluster but for now its mostly trying to fix bugs or try to stop some of the major problems in Sea of Theives. I see this game succeeding we just now need to fix the problems caused by the unintended player problems i.e. sailing to agro the same ship, Bunny hopping board only tactics, barrel spam and a couple others.

    Keep going Rare I'm still with ya

    You just let me realize I hope they eventually add a tundra province somewhere

  • This thread had gone quiet sadly so I thought I'd write a post just to see if there's anyone else that might want to contribute still. Perhaps since the roadmap and recent podcast have been released there is more to be said on the matter.

  • @wodyo thank you for your mind words. Just doing my bit :)

  • I do indeed enjoy the game, surely im not on all the time but when I am, I have most fun and random events that make me love the more. What really would keep me stayed is when I finally get my pre-order stuff, so I can finally be more of a pirate.

  • @tyburn-ketch yeh it's a shame and it is very noticeable. Especially since looking out to an island from the ship with a spyglass is such a frequent "event" in the game.

  • I was in love with the game at first and I still enjoy it but I am not going to pretend it is perfect. I don't know about minority or not but servers are getting pretty empty from my experience when I play. Not to mention this comes off as childish and passive aggressive. Yeah people are critical, as they are of everything these days.

  • As long as Rare doesn't cave in and make safe zones and cater to the PVE crowd I will stick it out. The 4 man sloop could be a deal breaker though. Hoping that does not happen and they will realize how bad it will be for the game.
    The game is amazing as is.

  • Love, love, love this game! Whether it's been alone or with friends, I have had fun every time I've played. I look forward to seeing what Rare will add to the game and can't wait to unlock any secrets along the way!!
