Sea of thieves Need More players Per servers and More creatures ennemy types PVE

@bugraersoyyy 30 is still to low especially if they end up making new snow island or something and increase again the map size ..

50 is probably a sweet spot to be able to add Man-O-War ships with a 6 to 8 mens crew

with 50 we could have

8 Man o war 6 men crew ( entire server filled )
12 galeons crew ( entire server filled )
16 brigantines ( entire server filled )
25 sloops ( entire server filled )

or a more likely senarios would be 2 man-owar 4 galeons , 4 brigantines and about 4 to 5 sloops ... and this is barely whats needed to ever have a fleet battles ... if 2 to 3 alliances are formed

30 will still be to little wich with Man-o-war would end up having about 5 to 7 ships at best on the entire map but anything will be better than the current 16 cap

I dont know what you can find wrong in the " Atlas trailer " the game was trash because its an ARK survival cr@p reskin , but the reality is this trailer as seduce a lots of peoples into buying Atlas wich they have refunded but the gameplay displayed is actually what Sea of thieves desesperatly need as PVE contents more impressive and more fun stuff ... more creatures more everything ... Sea of thieves as a very solid basis ... but still lack of what Atlas was promising trough the trailer but never deliver

I tell you if Sea of thieves team ever make a big Update with Raise player cap and has as much contents as you see in the false advertisement of Atlas ... they would sell millions more copys of the game

ATLAS Extended-Length Gameplay Trailer

@xcalypt0x Microsoft as to step in and do something technology wise so the game can become what it should be ... They have a solid foundation for the game but sadly its very bare bones and foundational so far ...

Atlas trailer is what sea of thieves should have been

And Atlas actual current gameplay as it is is what sea of thieves should never be lol

@xcalypt0x 48 to 50 players servers isnt "MMO " battlefield, has 64 players servers and it isnt a MMO dosnt need to be an Arena shooter to not be an MMO ...

@xcalypt0x

Sea of thieves use Unreal engine 4 and should be able to host 50 players server without so much issues ... microsoft should support the game with more and better game servers and servers infrastructure

@stew360 Frist off This Games Player Cap is 24 not 16 and Second while it is both true that UE4 can easily support a session Looby of 50 player which indeed will still not qualify this game as an MMO the problem here is the Limit is not tied to Players but to the Ships. This Game can only support 6 ships per seession regardless of crew size. The largest ship the Galleon can hold a crew of 4 players so if all 6 ships in a session are Galleons then this game can hold upto 24 player and in the reverse side it only takes 6 players to fill a server as it requires only 1 player to generate a ship.

However I do agree with you this Game would benifit Greatly from more Players, Ships, creatures and A.I. Threats however the Dev face the Technical limitations of the Xboxs System Memory.

@enf0rcer

Ships are entity and i doubt they are so demanding on the game as you try to make it apear to ... planetside 2 can have dozens of vehicules and thousans of players ... and even can run on a ps4 lol

And also can i know where you take your information from that the game can only support 6 ships no matter the size of the crew ?

I understand why you feel this way but understand it not about the ship as simply an asset in the game, but the fact of how it is intergrated with the player Looby system as well how it's ties to the Migration system also how the majority of the games mechnics are tied to the ship. Yes the UE4 Engine is impressive but the ships in this game serve as much more then simply player vehicals. I to had the same thoughts as you did untill it was better expliand how the game actually works and how it is structured in code. We still don't have access to the source code Rare has been transparent enough to explian in technical terms what they attempted to do and the current challenges they face. There mostly hampered do to their sub Goal of making this game so asscessable that it can run a "Patato" Machine So they are in a constant state of optimization has they attempt to add in more and more content with the same if not less hardware resources. While some of the game assets such as islands are streamed in real time from the server jany of the assets still have to loaded into the client memory they are also limited to Network Bandwith as more content is offloaded to the server the data the Server has to stream to the client. So far Rare Accomplished an impressive technical feat which is why this game has somtimes been critizes as more of a Tech demo and proof of concept then a AAA game. They have already have pushed the limits of the OG Xbox Avialible onboard Memory at 5Gb for games.

@galactic-geek

Atlas is horrible and not anything like the trailers , but the thing is that Sea of thieves should have been what this trailer was about ...

@cotu42 Wrong ... the game is empty as it is and even popular streamer who try to play sea of thieves get anoyed by the little encounter you can ever gets ...

On average we get very little to no PVP battles for days and then 1good day out of 2 weeks or so ... so talking from experience , this game require 3 times more players

@jack-flintlock

I am not a streamer , neither a PVE carebear , and in both case i can say that Sea of thieves , DESESPERATLY NEED and REQUIRE , more real players wich is the only fun there is into this game ... skeletons are lame pve contents in this game is for the most part insanely limited and lame there is no depth to it ... and there is multiples days of a week where i see NO ONES beside 1 sloop here and there in SOT and this can last for days ... and we have maybe 1 worthy fight in a whole week ...

I am sorry but i play SOT to entertain myself and this game only have 1 thing going for it and its piracy in PVP beside that everything is Lame beyong the word ...

@cotu42

I can speak from my own experience and god know i have some and probably 10 times more hours into the game than summit and speaking from experience this game is WAY to often either empty either boring to the extreme ... with the numbers of hours i have into the game , the kraken , the pirates ships or the skullfort are easy repetitive and boring UNLESS there is REAL players involve in or around those and i can have days of playtime without encountering anything but few randoms sloop who flee to protect a castaway chest ...

This is a tough one...

One of the things that makes Sea of Thieves what it is is its simplicity. Rare have done an amazing job at committing to the vision of letting players be the center of the story, and keeping all systems very very simple helps to allow that.

As much as I love MMOs and persistent worlds, there's something refreshing about a limited scope shared world.

I've been playing Atlas since launch and am enjoying it, but would not like to see the same in SoT.

I think Rare can definitely expand, but it has to do so carefully while keeping their vision in tact and not losing track of the essence of what makes this game feel like it does.

Less is more sometimes... and Rare's got it right, but is hard to maintain that over time!
