A mode within sea of thieves where all is the same however no pvp just a private server on high seas for yourself and friends who enjoy completing quests and gaining the commendations without running into other players so you can just enjoy questing and completing events etc. Myself and friends and many other fellow pirates find it difficult at times to enjoy questing and completing all events for the commendations when other players become toxic and ruin a nice day on the seas. Other players just interrupting an event when almost completed it and take all your loot youve worked hard for by defeating bosses just for them to mostly toxic players to swoop in last minute destroy your ship and then make you feel so angered and just end up leaving. I think a high seas mode that just has yourself and friends to get all sea of thieves quests complete, events and level up emissarys etc is somthing needed because you cant level up fully and gain all commendations etc in safer seas so I think many pirates here would love this. Everything the same as high seas but no other players just yourself and friends questing and leveling up stress free.
Game mode: Private high seas sessions
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 in 5 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.
