Only 0.36% of players are Pirate Legends in Sea of Thieves - Gamereactor - Discuss.

@katttruewalker how do ye not manage to leave port? lol. That is a staggering number of people who installed the game, picked a pirate, went through the load and then thought 'nah, not for me' an' closed the game. Incredible :)

Yeah the 4 million figure was for "active players" but the % is from "anyone who ever played" so using it to calculate the number of Legends is flawed, also for number of people who left port you've got to remember that the achievements were turned off in the first month to help with server load so millions of people who just used a two week free trial of game pass early on won't have gotten any achievements even though they played the game

@awesomecoreusa I know there were some people who just couldn't get the game to work due to bugs etc, there's bound to be a fair few in that number who didn't meed the minimum spec but decided to try for free on gamepass to see if it ran, the servers were a bit mashed up around launch and some may have been put off by that and never came back, and in any game public perception matters there are some people who won't play a game unless their group thinks it's cool so when their friends wouldn't play and the negative reviews landed they didn't log in again. Still seems like a stupidly high number that didn't even make it out of port.

I remember my first day, I made it as far as the nearest galleon and then got my first trip to the ferry.

Then I logged out and joined a group on discord.

One thing is sure, the major encounters I have in the high seas are with other legendary crews.

So at least the majority of active players, players that are returning to the game, already reach that achievement.

Really? Interesting... I still run into more non-legends, or at least pirates who are not flaunting their legendary status with clothing or titles. Most of the people I crew up with these days be legends though, say 75%, nice of them to let a scrub like me hang out at the big-boy table :)

.23% × 4,000,000 = 9,200

@kzoo-kid which is about right from what we have been told by Rare recently following the introduction of Doubloons and buying letters from them for rep gains.

@katttruewalker but when I'm go through the Xbox achievements it says only 0.24% unlocked the legendary status achievement.

Edit. Oh okay you edited the post. 😁

Are you asking where the .36% is coming from or why it says .24% and not .23%? It's .36% of people who unlocked the achievement for setting sail for the first time have gotten pirate legend. .24% probably means more people have gotten legend since the OP did the maths.

@danqrl could be, good thinking.

That's a really low number.
I think it'll raise really fast. Most of my friends on discord have been playing a little less then I have and most of them are now at the 45-50 mark, combined with the writs this will go fast.

It's nice to see how many players have left port, most games have thse little achievements to see how many players actually tried the game as opposed to just starting it up and not playing it. It always amazes me how many people do this.

How many Athena 10 then? xD

When I unlocked the Pirate Legend achievement and saw that the percentage of Pirate Legends was less than 0.5%, I was pretty surprised! I come across at least one or two other pirate legends almost every day! So my theory is:

A. There are way more PLs than we think

Or..

B. PLs are people who love this game enough to grind to the title, and still love the game enough to continue playing, so although only 0.35% of people who left the outpost are PLs, all (or most) of the PLs make up a larger percentage of active players. I don't know if that makes any sense lol

@awesomecoreusa edit: my bad, accidental post... carry on.

@rattlyfob yes?

@KattTruewalker I hope this post helps ease the pain some legends are having about wanting exclusive Legend content. I don't think Rare wants to bottleneck their content behind less than 1% of the player base just yet, It's always good to see stats! With the new letters more and more of us will be there soon enough.

Yep, let's check now how many hours of playtime those 9k Legends got or put in every week compared to the non legends. Let's check at any given time, out of the totality of the Online players, how many connected players are Legends?

Most legends play several hours per day versus many casual players will put a couple of hours here and then.

Player base is not important, Active player base is o/

Not all non legends are casuals lol. I probably have more play time then some legends, I just chose to spend my time PvPing and exploring instead of grinding way to early and I'm glad I did.

You're an exception. Just because 0,3% of the players are legends and 60% left port, it doesn't mean that out of the 60% who left the port all are regular players, many could have quit the game.

So your stats actually don't mean much, only Rare knows.
