Community Suggestions to Expand and Enrich Sea of Thieves

  • Hello fellow pirates,
    I wanted to share some ideas that I believe could help guide the game in a positive direction. In my opinion, these additions could extend the game’s longevity and make the overall experience even more enjoyable.

    1. New Regions

    New regions should be added to the game.
    For example:

    A snowy region with at least 10 islands, creating a cold and challenging environment.

    Or a shared social hub where all pirates can meet, relax, and have fun together. In this area, we could play gambling games such as card games or other activities, with real gold bets. Winner takes the pot, loser sails away — this would be incredibly fun and immersive.

    1. Dedicated TDM Mode

    There should be a special TDM mode accessible from the main menu.

    A small, dedicated map

    No ships involved

    Variable player count (for example 10–15 groups)

    Either private lobbies or matchmaking
    The combat areas should be limited (around 10 maps), but well-equipped with weapon racks and plenty of food. This is something many players have been asking for and would be perfect for improving PvP skills.

    1. New Storm Mechanics – Giant Whirlpool

    Certain areas of the map could feature a new storm system, including a massive whirlpool, similar to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
    The idea is to fight inside the whirlpool, but with stable ship control — the wheel shouldn’t behave like a normal storm or become uncontrollable.

    1. Legendary Creature Improvements

    Some legendary creatures could be refreshed.
    For example, the Kraken could occasionally rise higher above the water, showing its teeth, or have more varied tentacle behavior to make encounters feel more dynamic and intimidating.

    1. New Animals

    More animals should be added to the world:

    Flying birds that we can shoot while sailing and cook afterward

    New snake types, some of them more dangerous or poisonous

    Larger land animals like lions or tigers

    Even fun ideas like a donkey you can ride around islands on 😄

    This would greatly improve immersion and exploration.

    1. Solo Ship

    A solo-only ship should be added:

    Slightly smaller than a sloop

    Only one cannon, but able to rotate 360 degrees

    A lower deck included
    This ship would be both cute and dangerous. Of course, it would also have disadvantages, which the developers could balance accordingly.

    1. Seasonal Story Content

    Each season should include at least two story chapters.
    These could even continue the Pirates of the Caribbean storyline or introduce new long-term narratives. Story content adds a lot of depth and excitement to the game.

    1. Private Servers

    Private servers should be available so that I can play, train, or fight with selected friends on the same server without random interference.

    1. Shovel Interaction

    A fun mechanic could be added where you can hit pirates on the head with a shovel.
    For example, when someone climbs your ladder uninvited, knocking them back into the sea would be hilarious and very pirate-like.

    1. Hat Physics in Combat

    During combat, if a pirate wearing a hat gets shot, the hat could fly off instead of dealing damage.
    Imagine aiming with a sniper during a fight and only knocking the enemy’s hat into the air — small details like this add personality and fun.

    I have many more ideas, but for now I’ll stop here.
    What do you all think? I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions as well.

    Respectfully,
    A fellow pirate

  • New Regions

    Rare stated they can't expand the current map. And...WHY always Snow....

    Dedicated TDM Mode

    Never understand why people wanna take a simple fun Sandbox adventure game and change it into a Comp game...

    New Storm Mechanics – Giant Whirlpool

    Yes Please. :D

    Legendary Creature Improvements

    Next season I believe they said a updated Kraken fight will become a thing.

    Larger land animals like lions or tigers

    Doesnt fit the Region...but then again, we have Wild Boars and players dont even hunt those anymore.

    Solo Ship

    We have one, Sloop and pretty balanced enough it can hold its own against a Galleon. Having a single Cannon, nobody gonna mess with that.

    Each season should include at least two story chapters.

    Tricky. They tried with Adventures before it was either poorly executed or if you missed it, you were missing a lot of story.

    Private Servers

    Already a thing in 2026. When? Nobody knows.

    During combat, if a pirate wearing a hat gets shot, the hat could fly off instead of dealing damage.

    I hated this in RDR2....
