Really excited to hear this as im sure my fellow pioneers are aswell. Will definitely be better for the game as bugs and glitches etc. can be identified well before the update is put out to the public.
You know where to find me rare ;)
Pioneers coming back
Unfortunately I haven't had time to play much (I'm only at 20/17/17), so I most likely won't be invited back into the program. If I don't get invited again I'll be a bit sad, but it's understandable as to why I wouldn't.
Though on the upside, I will have a lot of time in the next few weeks to play a lot.
Clarifications:
Pioneer came by selection, not by application.
Pioneer is not to be confused with Founder, or Insider.
Being selected as a pioneer is not a ‘cool kids club’ - these are the MOST dedicated in bug reporting, involvement, observation, feedback, and commitment.
NDA is your bond - breaching this brings much shame on your legacy.
Early alpha players, hand picked for Pioneer is a right of passage.
Oh the stories we have seen unfold!
Ready on deck!
@xv-nizzo-vx I might just be going crazy, but I think that right before the program ended they mentioned that they would only re-invite active Pioneers. I hope you're right, cause now I have time to play and be active in the community.
@wturok Obviously I have no idea what they are going to do but I feel like pioneers who have at least played a little since launch or still post on the forums would retain the title.
@BLOODFRENZY187 Because, I can't remember the date, but they were selected during the alpha days during a time that the player base was only in the tens of thousands. Additionally, there were a number of criteria beyond forum posts that I don't think was explicitly stated. I'm sure there will be more added!
@hot-juicy-pie Latest Developer video here is where they mention the pioneer program getting revived.
@logansdadtoo lets not pretend you played no part sir... https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/59245/つ--つ-summon-the-pioneers-つ--つ/35
@solidsnakemig
I always try & be helpful, but i don't always succeed ;)
Glad to have actually done some good for once!
There's a FAQ on the website still which explains the past Pioneer scheme in a bit more detail, whether the same criteria will be used or how the group will be organised, we don't know as yet.
