Edited: SoT could use Tier based PVP servers.(video)

    Had to edit the post because alot of people started comparing the 2 games, when i clearly stated the tier system pvp was the focus.

    This is apparantly a early access ship vs ship game with progressions and multiple ship variants....never heard of it before but ehm...it does the pvp matchmaking right, and rewards players for pvp in form of better gear in a tier based format. You only face players in your tier level, so you always stand a chance.

    SOT could definitly use this as progression other than cosmetics. War Thunder does the same thing, Tiers makes the playingfield somewhat even, even for new players, as they would only face new players in pvp. If they felt like facing ranked up players, they could choose to do so as soon as they felt their ships were up to the task.

    And yes, again, this review video is to show the loot drops and pvp tier based system in the game, they cant be compared as games because clearly they are diffrent genres.

    meh, looks like a cheap Battle Royale game to me.
    No physics, no amazing water, no exploring.

    If you got SoT for this kind of gameplay you should never have gotten SoT, because that is not what SoT is about.

    If you want a tiny bit more realism, go check out Skull and Bones, it's Black Flag without the Assassins part.

    You're are talking of a game that has nothing to do with Sot... It is not the same type of game at all. If you like it good for you, but don't pretend this game can be of any comparaison.

    About the only similarities between SoT and that would be that there is water and ships. That's pretty much where it ends. SoT is not a World of Tanks ship simulator, and amen for that.

    I think im done with sea of thieves after watching this review, it has everything SoT needed for the ship battles.

    <video>

    G******N SoT would have been good woth vertical progression and TIER based servers, so that noobs never face high end players. Its PERFECTLY doable, tier 1 vs tier 1 players, tier 5 vs tier 5 players, win win.

    I suggest you just to just go and play that game if it's what you're looking for.

  • DimwitMegalodon

    Not a fan of the ridiculously arcade-y ship physics. Totally different games aimed at different audiences I suspect.

  • Shinbabo

    @evildutchrebel I agree. it´s not the same like SoT.
    But: "that is not what SoT is about"
    What is SoT about? Bring the community together? How? All community tools are not from Rare, like discord.
    Partymaking in SoT is bad as hell. No kick option, no close party, no invite additional player to 1-man sloop or 3-man galleon. The brig is usless. Crossplay is bad because of the missing community tools implemented in SoT.
    There is so sence in doing anything in the world of SoT.

    • The islands are empty.
    • No NPCs, no natives, no secrets or something worth exploring the beautifull world.
    • Even a mysterious creature, the kraken or better the tentakles, is booring.
    • PvP is nonsence and gives you nothing also in most points you don´t even get a reward for PvP.
    • Questing or better grinding is booring as hell.

    Yea, in SoT you should make your own journey and adventure. But there is nothing to do to make this interesting or an adventure.
    SoT is a sailing simulator with a PvP option and perfect for asian player who love to grind.
    For me, who want a game with many secrets and a sence to do any quest, this game is booring. Cosmetics are in my eyes no content but features. The make me look different from others, thats all. Btw. after playing 2 weeks i have already all i wanted and have no intend to grind further for money i don´t need.

    @shinbabo Have you ever been to their discord? they have loads of voice servers for you and your crew to join, and they give you the option there to discuss in real time with other players and even developers. So yes community, check.

    I will not say that this game is the best game out there, but the stuff that Rare has been saying how they want to go further is very promising.
    They are splitting up their team in smaller teams to get smaller updates more frequently and not doing the 3 month wait for updates anymore.

    If I may give a suggestion, try to roleplay with your friends.
    For me and my friends we're roleplaying the Dutch Western Trading Company, or Privateers.

    When we're the WTC we generaly are on a galleon and do merchant missions and try to aid other vessels and mainly look out for shipwrecks.

    As the privateers we are looking for pirates to sink, we never shoot first and try to parley before anything else and even try to get their resources and chest by saying that they do not have their cannonball taxes paid or have licences for certain activities.

    This makes the game a lot more enjoyable, gets way less boring of a grind and it makes us look for lore out in the world, and yes occasionaly you'll find books with lore, and there are a lot of hidden caves around the world. Just go explore between L12 and L16, L14 even has a great place to lure galleons to and sink them without them realising they just hit a sand bank.

    New content will come, but in the meantime try to have fun :)

    This looks like a mobile game for kids. Definitely looks like it will use a PTW model. But you go ahead and play your s****y little game if it makes you happy.

    Hahaha omg, fanboy parade?

    You all know SoT lacks EVERYTHING, dpnt fool yourselves.

    Read UNDER the video, i saod SoT could defintily benefot from a tier based pvp system, doesnt have to be battle royale, i hate batlle royale. Its the new "zombiegame" tjing for kids.

    SoT leaves MUCH to be desired for pvp players, that was the point.

    You don't need to, I'm simply telling you to have fun playing that game since it seems to be all that you wanted, and those that enjoy SOT will keep having fun here.

    Good day, matey!

    @haxxorsauruz Almost every post I have seen you post is whining and complaining and NYE! saying.
    If you dont like it, leave it.
    If you want attention, your getting it.
    The game looks like trash tbh, atleast sea of thieves has pretty water and bright and enjoyable trees and plants.
    If I wanted to play a game that has ships, Id install the legend of pirates online, or world of warships
    If I cared for a mobile game I'd boot up Pokemon go or clash of clans, but i dont care for mobile games.
    If I wanted something with a PTW model, Id play...well...a free to play game and put money in it
    If I wanted a goofy looking game (TBH those ships in that video drive me insane with how much they are crushed together like playdough) id play slime rancher or some other kid friendly game
    If I wanted a game about orcs dwarves and elfs id call up my friends and play some MAGIC THE GATHERING! or DnD

    If you want to go around, complain. Go ahead, Im just hoping at some point we can report you for flaming or some jank, or you finally give up and go.

    I actually hope there are more games like this coming out, so everybody complaining about SoT not having this feature or that feature can actually go and play a game they like instead of trying to force-cry-morph SoT into something it clearly was never intended to be.

    to OP: Good for you, you found a game that you like to play. All the best on the foreign seas.

    @haxxorsauruz Nah, this doesn't even touch SoT except they also have ships on the sea. No crew, no actual work to sail, no actual skill needed to sail and so on. Maelstrom is just a shooter with ships.

    Im more interested in their tier based pvp, much like in war thunder. SoT could definitly have that and give us upgrades for stuff, and balance it by making it tier based.

    But right now i think rare should focus on making their basic servers even stay online...because its clear they have NO idea what they are doing.

    Sea Of Thieves involve LAND as well so they can focus EVERYTHING on SEA otherwise the water engagements would (should) be a lot better.

    But the games looks absolutely TRASH

  • Kustho

    LOL?

    What I see is a single player game with ALL mechanics from the 90th redone in ship form in 2018.

    You have a tank ship...a damage dealer ship...everyone has his own ship, no teamwork exept on the mission goal itself...this is world of warcraft with each player owning a ship.

    In SoT you cant even get to the next island without teamwork...

    ...thank you RARE for redoing teamplay...and please, do not think for a second that anyone here exept the OP is taking that other game serious for a second.

    looks good fun to me...

    I agree SoT has a great game in there somewhere just needs more to flesh it out and make it more engaging. Im just hoping that Rare get it there before everyone abandons ship. But the comparison is unfair i like the crew member/first person level that SoT has over the controlling the entire ship in Maelstorm.

    But saying that I shall give it a go :) thanks for pointing it out.

  • TtargetPractice

    How is this game even comparable to the other? This looks like world of tanks with boats.

  • Buccaneer Chut

    SoT doesn't have a "skill tree" so it's fair game for everyone and the people who work together better win. Simple as that.

    Not what im saying AT ALL. Im stating that SoT also coulf use a tier system with progression and stay fair on all ends.

    Im not comparing them as games, CLEARLY they are diffrent genres f*s.

    A tier system is also fair for all. Noobs vs noobs, pros vs pros.

    SoT is in no way balanced, in any way.
