Forsaken Shores - Let us count the ways... pirates are having fun with this magnificent new content!

  • So, browsing twitter this morning I came across some fantastic stories and screenshots and I think sometimes here on the forums we don't always celebrate the good times or the fun we have in game so.... here it is!



    Starting off with the guy who's already rowed around the whole map of Sea of Thieves!


    The crews who've already gobbled up the content!

    Those who are loving the new cosmetics and the volcanic ambience!

    Pirates just having fun with the mechanics!


    Plundering and looting those islands!

  • I played today 1st time the new update I had a blast! The Volcano Rain is like an Firework, love it and it’s not easy mode :) And the new Barrel improvement its perfect now, Rare keep up the amazing work!

  • @KattTruewalker ,thanks a lot for sharing our finish picture.
    we had so much fun that we played 817 Minutes right through with only one break of 15 minutes xD

  • This content update has been a blast.

  • Loving the rowboat, having a lot of fun with the new area, and can I just say; I think Eleanor on The Roaring Trader seapost might be my new favorite person.

    A happy-go-lucky jester turned pirate-trader? Too adorable for words!

    Haha I thought the same, she's really pretty :) And she's got a fine sense of humor!

  • Fun Activity: Order Of Geysers.
    When taking on Order of Souls Missions in the new region, look for nearby geysers and lead unwary skeletons to their doom. These geysers can one hit them, including golden skeletons, so if you are ever out of ammo, remember that more than just the sea is your ally.

    PvP Tactic: Geyser Hopping.
    Got a player on your tail? Just towards the nearest geyser with them in tow, and blast off into the air; but remember to move backwards and come down with a swift and satisfying blast from your blunderbuss upon their heads. It'll make players think twice about giving into a chase.

    Maybe the daughter of Blind Bob xD, i love her eyes she looks like she could defeat the kraken with bare hands.

  • I am disappointed about this new content. Still I am having tons of fun with my mateys, something that will never change.

  • Looking forwards to logging in tonight to see what all this fussin' is about!

  • @Ve111a and I were hoping to experience a volcano eruption at the outpost, but sadly after about 15 minutes of waiting we had to call it a night

    Really enjoying the new area. I'll be spending a ton of time out there this weekend.

    Also, these Kraken cosmetics are pretty rad

    I'll need to focus on getting more time with the rowboat this evening, since the one we had yesterday quickly ended up destroyed (and we didn't see much need for one, to be honest). But so far, I'm digging this new zone quite a bit.

  • @personalc0ffee @mr-dragon-raaar

    Aye, well ye knows, maybe I'm easy to please but a rip roaring new volcanic area to explore is pretty excitin' stuff and there are plenty o' folk who seem to be thinkin' the same thing ;)

  • @katttruewalker Thank you for posting this. I've found myself reviewing and posting in the forum much less lately because of the never-ending negativity from a handful of posters. It is good for a change to see so many others enjoying the game like I do!

  • i think the FS update is pretty awesome. I am a huge PVP'er and the pvp in the devil's roar is a whole new element. Good times!

  • @katttruewalker really nice post. I Played for a couple hours Last night, and had a blast! Man the row boat is hard to steer I've got to be the worst row boat captain. Lol had a ton of fun though great update good job Rare!

  • This pretty much sums up our feelings about the update.

  • Loads of fun but still some gamebreaking glitches and bugs that need addressed. Still a solid 6/10 though.

    That rowboat is TOUGH to maneuver. Sadly I ate a magma ball and when I returned it seems the rowboat did too. I really dig the new area

  • @ve111a Those magma balls are a bit chewy... maybe try the smaller ones?

    Easier on your sloops!

  • Got crushed by a rock and sloop went down causing me to have to sail back from the far west. Still having a good time.

    Only complaint I have is my pirate is too handsome. RARE please nerf!

  • What boatloads of fun!

    There have been far too many over the last few days who decided to rear their ugly heads after months of inactivity just to say that this update was too little, too late (and to keep trying to spread the same nonsense they got kicked out at launch for).

    Keep at it, me buckos! We’ve rode out worse storms!

  • Watching volcanos can be perilous!

    Isn't it! If I was a vulcanologist I reckon I'd last about 30 mins, probably less :D

    Here's some highlights from yesterday voyaging with @PersonalC0ffee and @RL-Captain-Nemo

  • Great Update, great Game!
    We have lots of fun and are challenged in the Devils Roar.

    About the complainers saying the game is doomed or dead or the update is unplayable or broken etc....
    I feel sorry about their experience and not having fun. I recommend just not to play but also not complain, it won't get better for you, it's a treadmill of bad feelings.
    And nobody should argue about it and feed inconstructive feedback.
    Feedback is good and essential to have, but it need to be constructive and rather objective, but what i read is expressing feelings and emotions.
    You cannot discuss emotions or believes.
    Those who express their emotions, even if they try to substantuate it with facts of the experience they've made;
    it's their experience with vulcanos and such.
    It's like everybody is having a blast on a concert, but the one who loves another genre of Music has not.
    There is nothing to discuss or to doom.
    Don't answer or discuss completely negative threads.
    They have only one purpose, to express the posters anger.
    Let them express it, but dont react or if you want to react, better post something you like in your own thread, express you're having fun.
    That's the best reaction to people complaining and predict doom and gloom.

    "Some people are always complaining
    Complaining when the sun shines complaining when it's raining
    The whole world they're blaming."

  • @katttruewalker cheers for sailing with us it was a fun session idk why some people are hating on the area its brillant

  • @KattTruewalker check these out

    This makes me think of this scene from Red Dwarf

  • @drunkpunk138 I'd have bought the ship cosmetics too, but spent over 130k on the 2 nee outfits!

    Whoops!

    I DO look FABULOUS though in the brightly coloured crawler gear!

  • New aesthetics are amazing but constantly losing the ship due to volcanic activity is not fun at all. Players don't have enough time to properly explore the larger land masses before yet another eruption occurs. Players and their ships will also be killed by volcanic activity at the new outpost which was foolishly built on an active volcano. So I'll finish the content to unlock the new gear and get the commendation and then probably not come back to this part of the map because it's just not fun to spend most of your time repairing the ship instead of sailing and exploring. Give players more time between eruptions. It shouldnt be nessessary to station a player on repairs while everyone else gets to go explore, that's not fun for them. A sloop is even more at risk when sailing solo, you will not enjoy how many planks you have to search for to keep your ship alive. Parking the ship so far away that it is safe from the volcanic activity range, means using the row boat for several minutes just to get to the island, that's fun once, then the monotony sets in. Again the new skins are very cool looking, great job on that for sure.

  • @mightywaffles81

    Ahoy there, we do have a megathread for feedback, this thread is to celebrate the fun pirates are having with Forsaken Shores.

    https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/73310/mega-thread-forsaken-shores

  • OK, I have a lot of fun having to take a rowing boat to the island and die there - only to arrive back on my ship afterwards, while the rowing boat of course remains on the island. Super, super funny. Not.

  • @ghostpaw

    I think a lot of players are having a hard time understanding and stomaching the difficulty curve. It's obviously meant for the more competent players and is more rewarding as a result.

    The negativity should hopefully die down as people develop a reliable routine for the region, or learn to stay away if they can't handle the heat.

    I will say that I think the frequency in which geysers, earthquakes and eruptions occur is too high.

  • Here's another crop o' scallywags havin' a blast (quite literally in some cases) with Forsaken Shores!

  • Two man sloop is a very fun way to play this DLC.
    Love the new area!!!!

    We even found a box of secrets last night : )

    This DLC people need to go with the flow (pun intended)

    Having to go below deck when you sail through a eruption to avoid falling rocks and watching your step around geysers to waiting out a storm in a cave as buddy sails around island and waiting for perfect time to pick ya up. (just adds to the fun for me)

    I dont feel bored sailing a ship in the new area ever.
    It was getting to be a little like Driving Mrs. Daisy to sail a ship in old areas. Meg/Kraken would be like waking up to a alarm after a nap but sure cant sleep at wheel now.

    Great update!

  • I've been loving the update so far too.

    I've discovered many sneaky new ways to pull off robberies. I'll share some soon, but not until I've lost interest in my current spree of thefts.

    I'd say see you on the seas, but you won't see me coming.
