Safe seas

    I'm on xbox series x playing with my kid nephew. If we came across pkers we'd die, so I'm wondering. Why is it that for those of us that choose safer seas we are punished for not wanting to do pvp? Why can't we use our bought ships that are named and have all our decos in them? Why can't safer seas do all the quests? Why do I have to log out of safer seas to then login into high seas to do the promotions for the npcs? Why is the gold earned reduced in safe seas? Why aren't we able to sail with more friends on other ships in safe seas? Why isn't safer seas like high seas but with no pvp??

    Doing all that just hurts the player base like me. I don't want to play with griefers and try hards. Safer seas should be playable just like the high seas. There should be no restrictions.

    So I'm just curious on your reasoning.

    Incentive to play on Higher Seas

    Why can't safer seas do all the quests?

    AFAIK you only can't do quests/events that are heavily depending on possible PvP

    Why do I have to log out of safer seas to then login into high seas to do the promotions for the npcs?

    Well, you can't use them anyway on Safer Seas, but if you can that would be annoying.

    Why is the gold earned reduced in safe seas?

    Not true, you get 100% gold

    Why aren't we able to sail with more friends on other ships in safe seas?

    Coming soon (?) with Custom servers

    See above.

    Yes there should, no emissaries for one. IMHO there should even be more restrictions, remove the gold, for instance. Use another currency that can't be spend if people really want to see the counter go up...

    So I'm just curious on your reasoning.

    The game design and intent for Sea of Thieves is a shared world adventure, and it always will be. Those who wish to play in the confines of Safer Seas will always have the option but we will not bring the rewards and activities in line with those of High Seas when many of the restrictions are in place due to the risk vs reward factor that is inherent in Sea of Thieves - removing any risk means rewards must be balanced accordingly.

    Safer Seas will act not only as a safe space for our Tall Tale players but also for families with children who just want to pirate, for people who want to play the game but learn the ropes and it will organically feed into Adventure mode, keeping the player pool there healthy and upskilled as they've learned the mechanics.

    This is not only useful for new players but also families and players with accessibility needs - the whole game suddenly becomes available in a way it hasn't before, letting them naturally progress to High Seas and become a Pirate Legend. SoT has grown a huge amount over the years and it can be fairly overwhelming.

    The borders put in Safer Seas mean that to experience the full depth and breadth of the game you will have to hit the high seas BUT if you're playing with your family you don't have to, you can just enjoy the game and have fun as a family.
