    We've created a thread here to collect the articles and press coverage of the recent visit to Rare and experience of the new updates incoming to Sea of Thieves on 30th April, see what they have to say!

    First off - Windows Central -

    We went hands-on with the first mission in Rare's "Tall Tales" feature, which is the studio's ambitious attempt to bring cinematic story experiences into Sea of Thieves' multiplayer world.

    If you're already a fan of Sea of Thieves, you're going to love the Anniversary Update. If you're skeptical, April 30, 2019, will be the perfect time to jump on with a friend and give it another look.

    How the Sea of Thieves Anniversary Update puts new wind in the game's sails

    Sea of Thieves has proven to be a controversial game critically, but the sandbox multiplayer enjoys an adoring fanbase and healthy viewership on streaming sites. The Anniversary Update offers a glimpse at the game's raw untapped potential.

    Daily Star

    Sea of Thieves' first-anniversary update is going to add so much more to the game, it's almost embarrassing to other service-based models that share the same space. Here's what you need to know.

    The anniversary update is full of new content, but its meant to be accessible to “day one” players, and will add new ways to get to the best parts of the Sea of Thieves experience.

    Breaking down the boatloads of new stuff in Sea of Thieves’ anniversary event

    The Arena and Tall Tales are the game’s biggest additions yet

    Eurogamer

    Sea of Thieves is, I think, a phenomenal story generator - and excels in delivering the kinds of unpredictable encounters that can so frequently turn a routine play session into a genuinely unforgettable one.

    Sea of Thieves' slick, sizeable first story campaign is a little bit Indiana Jones, a little bit Goonies

    I was a little apprehensive when Rare first announced that its multiplayer pirate extravaganza would be getting a new competitive-focussed standalone mode....

    Based on the handful of matches I managed to play at a recent Sea of Thieves press event, Arena Mode is astonishingly good fun.

    Shacknews

    Players will be able to get into Sea of Thieves, experience a rich narrative, go on an epic adventure, all while experiencing the foundation that made the game so appealing to so many players.

    It’s worth noting that Chris Allcock, the author of Sea of Thieves’ first novel, Athena’s Fortune, has been involved in the writing of Tall Tales. This should speak volumes to the kind of story players can expect, not just a few lines of dialogue from a character, but an actual narrative arc spanning multiple play sessions. Interestingly, Mike Chapman hinted that there might be some references and nods to between the two stories, Shores of Gold and Athena’s Fortune.

    Shores of Gold isn’t the only story coming to Tall Tales. While we didn’t discuss specifics of future stories, during my interview time with Senior Designer Shelley Preston, she was able to talk to how Tall Tales functions as a tool for the developers, “Each of the earlier campaigns, like The Hungering Deep, was its own fudged-together story whereas Tall Tales is a tooling set that designers and artists – everybody – can use to create content. We’ve got that tool set now, now it’s just what we do with it.”

    Tall Tales brings a 15-odd hour campaign to Sea of Thieves in the form of Shores of Gold and Shacknews was lucky enough to experience the introduction to this epic adventure.

    Interview with Shelley Preston and Joe Neate -

    I didn’t think it was possible, but I walked away from the interview, and the day, even more excited about the future of Sea of Thieves than I already was. The passion and dedication of the team at Rare is palpable and their commitment to Sea of Thieves and their community is unmatched.

    Shacknews recently visited Rare to try out parts of Sea of Thieves' Anniversary Update and to speak with Senior Designer Shelley Preston and Executive Producer Joe Neate – here's what we learned!

    “It is competitive, but we’re hoping it’s a much more accessible competitive to a much broader audience,” Shelley Present, Senior Designer, explained to me during our interview time. “Kind of like how Adventure was a more accessible online multiplayer game – we saw it was a lot of people’s first multiplayer game or some who thought they didn’t like multiplayer but they enjoyed it in Sea of Thieves. We’re hoping that Arena can do that for the competitive side of Sea of Thieves.”

    As Rare prepares to embark on year two of its successful pirate adventure, Tom Hoggins visits the beloved UK studio to take a closer look at Sea of Thieves Anniversary update

    PCGamer

    With April 30th's anniversary update, though, it feels more like the game I hoped it would've been at launch, bringing a 10 hour+ story campaign and an uproarious, nerve-wracking PvP Arena mode.

    There's a lot to deepen players' investment in the game, then, and I'm impressed Rare was given the leeway to keep building Sea of Thieves into what it always deserved to be. It's no small thing to add a whole campaign, with entirely new systems and voice acting. Sea of Thieves spent a year finding its stride—now it's got most of the pieces in place for an exciting future.

    Sea of Thieves' anniversary update finally makes the game reach its full potential

    Hands-on with Arena and story mode Tall Tales.

    IGN - lots of piratey nsfw language ;)

    In the long term, perhaps what’s most exciting here is the language Rare uses to talk about Tall Tales and Arena. They aren’t referred to as new modes, or options - they’re “platforms”, ideas to be built on. Tall Tales could extend to whole new campaigns, or one-off event episodes. Arena could become more than a single mode, or throw in daily challenges for those with less time to jump in and out of at their leisure, without the commitment required from a full quest line.

    In watching the IGN gameplay video for Tall Tales with footage released by Rare, you will see some pirates discover a ship’s log for The Magpie’s Wing. According to the novel, this was a ship captained by none other than the Pirate Lord himself, Ramsey Singh.

    There is an entry that reads:

    Ship attacking us! The Burning Blade. We are fleeing East. They are turning to pursue.

    Earlier in the video you see a journal with a drawing of The Burning Blade with her “infernal cannons” and showing Flameheart’s symbol on the sail.

    This creates a timeline issue. You see, Flameheart did not exist during Ramsey Singh’s lifetime. If you’ve read the novel, then you know that the Pirate Lord died before the presence of the Ferry of the Damned in the Sea If Thieves. And, according to the Tales from the Sea of Thieves, the pirate who would later become Flameheart describes the Ferry of the Damned in his writings. So, the Ferry was there when this pirate transformed into Flameheart. The Magpie’s Wing couldn’t have had a run in with The Burning Blade...

    ... unless Ant-man came back and used the Quantum Realm to help Flameheart get back to the time of the Pirate Lord #TimeTravelConfirmed.

    As the title says, my friends no longer want to waste the few hours of free time they get a night on this game. Its due to what we call "griefers."

    I love PVP, and so do they, but we also love exploration games, so SoT seemed like the perfect game for us. And it was, until after the double gold weekend/new announcement apparently brought back some bad people.

    We've sunk our fair deal of ships, and been sunk. We've stolen loot, and had loot stolen. We found it fun and engaging.

    What we have NOT been finding fun and engaging are galleons rolling up on our ships just as we load into the game and stealing our ship as we're stocking. Or killing us over and over, even though we have nothing more than the startup supplies... which they aren't even taking.

    We have NOT been finding fun in trying to do a voyage, and having some fellow camp the area we're voyaging in for literally -hours-, chasing us off and sinking our empty ship every time we come near to do it.

    We have NOT been finding fun in people just following us incessantly, again for all of the hours that we play, only coming in to sink our ship as we start our Order of Souls objective.

    Come fight me in the seas, come try to steal my loot, and my friends and I will happily engage you. But chase us for hours because you know we're voyaging? No. That's griefing. Camp us for hours? No, griefing.

    Scuttling ships doesn't work in most of those instances. Sure, my fresh ship can be scuttled and I can start somewhere else. But if I am on a voyage, that I want to finish with my friends, chasing me off from it for no reason at all isn't cool. And I can scuttle all I want to -- I'll still have to go back to that same set of islands to finish my voyage.

    The only solution I have is to quit my game, lose my voyage, start a new ship, buy a new voyage, and hope I have ended up on a different server. And I get punished the entire way.

    PVE servers would be great, but a simpler solution to this mess could be allowing me to intentionally change servers in the middle of my game. SoT already does this for you when your server population gets low. If I could choose to do that, then my friends and I could actually play, get away from people who apparently have no life responsibilities and hours to waste chasing the same ship around, and we would not lose our voyage.

    I've been playing sea of thieves for a while now and really have enjoyed the game. But recently Rare made some changes to pirate combat the I'm not really into, for example, sword gameplay. Now when you use swords you can swing a walk a lot faster than you previously could making it very frustrating when boarding other peoples ships cause you just get hit locked by 2 or more people aimlessly swinging their swords on deck. Which is really overpowered in my opinion and doesn't require much skill on the part of the defender And to make the matter even worse sword blocking doesn't help at all and is one of the least used mechanics in the game (in my opinion), its to easy to bypass the sword block by jumping and other maneuvering techniques. If the sword is to be balanced I think they should let you walk at normal speed while blocking to balance out how easy it is to start to combo someone. The changes they're making to the combat makes it look like they're focusing on the casual players who don't like PVP and only play quest types and grind, not the players like me who enjoy PVP and want to have epic ship battles and Feel amazing when we come out victorious. Instead, when I board a ship I get stuck in place by two guys swinging their swords at me until I die because I can't move.

    My second frustration with the combat in Sea of thieves is the Eye of Reach which is sort of useless now that Rare nerfed it. It doesn't really work for up close ship combat since you can't no scope with it. It's also not great for long-range combat since the pistol can do everything a sniper can just without having to take a whole half a second to aim down a scope. and it does only 70% damage instead of 80% now too. At the moment long range combat isn't really a thing in Sea of Thieves because every time you fight someone it's almost always on a ship and when you fight skeletons they spawn so close to you and never stop chasing you that you don't need to use anything longer range than a pistol to kill them. I wish they would find a way to make the Eye of reach relevant in modern Sea of thieves so that when the arena comes out it won't be as useless as it is now.
    If you guys have any ideas on how to improve the Eye of Reach im all ears. If you guys don't agree with me or have other ideas lets discuss them in the forum I'd love to hear about any criticisms or ideas you guys might have.

    My most important and last complaint with combat is about sprinting and how it relates to PvP in Sea of Thieves
    It has been a problem for a while now in my opinion but some of you might not relate with it as much as I do. What I mean when I say how sprinting relating to PvP is the transition from running to firing a gun or reacting with a part of the ship like dropping an anchor and such. For a long time, I have gotten frustrated when I'm on a enemies ship trying to dodge pistol bullets and sword swings by sprinting then when I see an opening to shoot someone I stop sprinting quickly try to aim my gun down sights and shoot.... but even though I'm clicking my mouse it won't shoot until a second or two has gone by. By that time the person has moved or my other opponents have caught up to me have started to combo me with their sword swings which I'm completely unable to get out of so I inevitably die (I also have this problem when I'm trying to quickly lower someone's anchor but I can't do it in time because it won't let me interact until 2 seconds after sprinting). It's very frustrating cause I can't do anything about it and it makes it immensely harder to use my gun on other people ships while sprinting. I really hope they remove the feature in the future for arena so that I'm able to get my shot off quicker. I feel like I get penalized for sprinting when I shouldn't. The only reason it seems like their doing this is because of young Xbox players who cannot move around as quick as some of us so because of that they force us to be unable to interact or shoot while sprinting and a little after..... All I wish is that everything would be more fluent and didn't have as much delay time.

    Thanks for reading to the end I know this is a long article so if you have any thoughts on the matter please tell me and ill definitely listen to what you have to say

    Captaincy Update:
    Status: Delayed from 2018
    Release Date: Unknown
    What Will be in the Captaincy Update?
    “We’re adding ship captaincy as a goal for Pirate Legends… which means the ability to own and captain legendary ships,” said Executive Producer Joe Neate.
    Captaincy Update is alleged to introduce:
    *Ship ownership
    *Ship naming
    *Exclusive customisation (for both Pirate and Ship)
    *Pets (read more below)
    While ship naming and customisation are self-explanatory, the ‘ownership’ idea is interesting. As the game currently stands, ships are entirely disposable, so it’s unclear how a ship that you own would work.

    Pets:
    Status: Delayed from 2018
    Release Date: Unknown (to release with Captaincy Update)
    Pets will be Sea of Thieves’
    Introduction to microtransactions (though Rare have previously stated they’re potentially looking into having them being earned through in-game achievements as well).
    “I can have a monkey in a hat on my shoulder. I can have a cat. But other people will be able to interact with my pet, too.” Joe Neate said.
    Confirmed pets so far include:
    *Parrots
    *Monkeys
    *Cats
    Rumour has it that dogs may also make an appearance, but I haven’t been able to find anything confirming that.

    So I have the entire black dog / obsidian / onyx / midnight set and the last item I need is the Ebon Flintlock.

    Much like many others I missed the early opportunities to gain the pistol. I had been eagerly awaiting announcement of its release and only found out yesterday that it is already in the game and I missed my chance 😭

    I know it's a long shot but if anyone has any codes left and would be willing to send one to me I would be indebted to you for as long as the sea is deep!

    I would even be more than willing to pay if needed!

    Kind regards

    I was fighting a kraken earlier and in two instances my character couldn’t turn. I was playing on my Xbox one x and the right analog stick wasn’t turning the character. I have been talking around and this seems like a reoccurring issue.

    I believe that the glitch has something to do with the tentacles sucking you up. Your character will be in a state unable to turn but the difference is your not stuck in the kraken.

    A glitch worth looking into as it results in me losing the battle and a lot of kraken loot.

    Hello,
    been playing since day one, and was an active forum member until the Halloween event involving the different colored flames. Took a hiatus from both forum and game for a long time.
    The recent revelation of the big april 30th update had me and my regular crew intrigued enough to get back into sailing the open seas once more. Some observations i have after leaving the game for 6 months give or take and coming back are:

    • Exploding barrel skeletons on islands are still a thing? how? these were cool for like 3 days when that particular event was around. They are nothing but a waste of time and nuisance and i am pretty amazed they still spawn as much as they do. One every now and then is fine, one every single random skelly wave is ridiculous and time wasting/consuming. I thought this would have been tweaked by now, guess not.

    -Kraken/Megaladon: I am happy to see there are actual rewards involved for engaging in these fights.. BUT every time we have seen a kraken since coming back, it is ALWAYS with a meg at the same time, getting grappled by a kraken and hit by a meg at the same time is pretty much an instant boat sink, and provides no fun to the encounter. This hasnt been tweaked either yet? maybe it has and we are just unlucky

    -Pirate legend - its great to see some year one items for pirate legends, but besides that, it does seem a little lacking in content for the PL players. The items they came out with are great though, loving the blunderbuss despite the fact its the ferryman blunderbuss with a new skin on it...

    -Crossplay - still not optional. Since lurking the forums again as of the other day i did find the announcement where they are FINALLY making it optional. This will be absolutely amazing and the biggest game improvement they could make. Since playing again this past week every crew we encountered were PC players (easy to tell when they make custom chats appear, beside other reasons) that had blatant and obvious advantages. No way in davy jones would we even try the arena mode against pc players, period. It took a year, but thanks for listening and finally doing something about it, hopefully soon.

    -More skull forts, more often, and ghost ships as well. This is great. It sucks it took the game being out as long as it has to finally start to get where it should have been when it launched. I am glad to see progress in this area though.

    -Previous events: its great that we have an option to be able to go back to SOME previous events to earn doubloons that we may have missed. It seems to only be open to some events and not all as some new friends cant seem to do it for things like skeleton thrones. A plus either way to give new pirates more things to do.

    -New update: so the new update has myself and usual crew excited. Fishing has been asked for since day one, and the new campaign episodic type missions look amazing. All these things can really refresh the game and help it finally start to reach the full potential that it should have had on release. I am glad the game has not been abandoned after a year and hope these type of improvements will keep coming.
    Two things we seem to be missing still after a year
    -captaincy, and companion animals. Any talk of these at all still?

    -ship customizations: love being able to customize cannons and wheels and capstans etc, still cant put names on our boats though? that seems like an easy add in

    nothing will come from me posting these thoughts other than to hopefully give a reminder of some things that may not have been talked about for awhile. My crew and i will be sailing once more up to the april 30th release and look forward to what the future may bring. After a year things seem to finally be taking shape.

    Gotta give a shout out to @Kat-Truewalkerr
    Thanks yall, happy sailing.

    PS- anyone ever find one of these @#$% white sharks? sheesh...

    Hello fellow pirates,we as a community made it this far in the development of this truly beautiful game but it is just the beginning and I feel like we all know it very well. We gave our time and money to this game because we believe it was worth it, we shared the smallest of our concerns with the state of the game to our wildest theory of what could be next, with the devs. Their answers never disapointed me.

    Ive never seen any game were the community impacted the game that much since we have to interact with other pirates in the world and just creates this thin beauty of uniqueness in every session at seas.

    I believe Sea Of Thieves is a very unique game that as the potential to be one of the most remembered game by many and I feel like we are part of the reason.

    Times are about to change, with the arena stream coming up tomorrow night (the reason of this post really cause i am fr**king hyped up) all the other streams coming up and maybe some surprise from rare(who knows?) in between here and finally the mega update ! We are about to enter in a new era of Sea Of Thieves more people are going to play, new content is added and it will change the game

    Dont get me wrong here this is not bad at all, in fact its amazing I just wanted to write this post so we can all take a moment to remember where we come from, together as a community.
    For the future of this game we will be the foundation of the future SoT family.

    We have to pay respect to the times that are about to ends in the sea of thieves
    We Have to honor every pirate who made those countless hours sailing so interesting
    We have a duty to protect those inspiring encounters with other pirates
    We Shall teach the ways we knitted our community together and we shall learn the ways to repair holes in it if they come, and they might.

    basically be a good pirate and we shall keep on sailing together for a while

    Since yesterday my game is constantly freezing in the crew lobby menu, or the loading screen if I'm quick enough to "set sail" before it freezes. I've already tried so many things that I don't know what to try anymore. I haven't been able to play because of it.

    Already tried:

    • Hard resetting the console;
    • Clearing cache;
    • Reinstalled a couple times;
    • Waiting the whole intro;
    • Changing some configs (in game and xbox);
    • Entering solo lobbys (galeon, brig and sloop);
    • My friends' lobbys;
    • Logging with my brother's xbox account (new character).

    Nothing seems to even make a difference.

    So for the Legendary Spyglass and Legendary Pocket-Watch, at first i was told that 500 animals were needed to get them, but then checking the description it says i need the commendation for 500 cargo. But then someone mentioned to me that it unlocks if i get either of the two. So is it just the cargo, the animals or both?

    So, I am on PC. All of my in-game settings allow for Proximity Chat. My Son is on Xbox and all of his Audio Settings are default.

    He can hear proximity chat from other players and I cannot. I am not sure why. We are not in a party and we were standing side by side. My Proximity Chat Volume is on 100 and I still couldn't hear the other crew talking when my son could hear them pretty easily. I can hear my crew in game just fine. But no proximity chat.

    I have unplugged/plugged in my microphone as the article on the sot website suggests to fix the chat bug.

    Help?!

    EDIT: I found this on the SoT help article for w10 Audio issues:

    "If You see this [the speaking icon] and still hear no talking then you may have your audio setup incorrectly through the OS." Not sure what this means. I have no issue in other games/applications hearing other people whether in Party Chat, Discord Chat, etc.

    E3 2015, when the game was first presented to the world! Oh I do remember how I fell in love with SoT since there!

    But seeing it again.... Seems a little different doesn't it?... Is this Cannon Cove? All those vegetation and details... The sea! The Ships! Walking the plank?!

    What do you feel by seeing again now?

    Avast Maties!
    Ahoy lads & lasses, so Rare has announced that Pets aren't too far off from being added to the Sea of Thieves. (Don't quote me on that)
    Cat
    Rat

    But how will they be added?
    Well, here's how I think they'll be added:
    Please note that these are just my predictions on how Pets will be implemented. Except the part about pets not providing an advantage.
    So take this with a grain of sea salt.

    • At Outposts you'll find a shop near the Docks (or maybe even on the dock) that sells pets.
      The Shop will be colorfully decorated and will be very welcoming to the eyes.
      I don't know what the NPC shop keeper will look like but he/she will probably be a welcoming lass or fellow.
      Active but pleasant music will play when players pass by & enter the shop.
      (The purpose of the shop being at Docks is that the Maximum amount of players notice & come into the shop)

    What pets will be for sall?
    These ones:

    • Cat 🐈
    • Dog 🐕
    • Monkey 🐒
    • Parrot
    • (Probably a few unexpected pet types, maybe a Rat 🐁 or a fish bowl?)

    Some of the pets mentioned above probably won't be there on the day pets are released but will be added at a later date.
    Each pet may have different Skins for additional purchases.
    Pets & Pet skins will be purchasable via a new currency:

    • Silver
      Silver Coins
      Silver will be acquired from buying Silver Bags that are for real 💲money💵 at the Pet Shop.
      Each silver bag when purchased will give you a certain amount of the new silver currency.
    • 4.99$ = 2999 Silver Coins
    • 9.99$ = 6999 Silver Coins
    • 19.99$ = 10,999 Silver Coins
      Also there will be weekly or monthly deals on silver.

    When you purchase a pet from the shop 🎊celebratory effects🎉 will play on the screen, 🎶triumphant music🎵 & cheering will be heard followed by the purchased pet's signature animal noise.
    And a title on the screen saying:
    (Insert pet name here) Purchased!

    What do you do with pets?
    It depends on what Rare has in mind, but what we know for sure is that Pets are just for fun & won't provide any advantage over other players.

    Well mates, you think my synopsis on pets will be some what accurate when they finally arrive?
    Let me know!
    And are you looking forward to pets?
    (Cuz I sorta am!)
    Palooggoo

    Having weird issue with this game only it seems to be not utilizing the RTX 2070 fully. Sometimes it will hit 90%, but it is mostly staying in 80's.

    Specs
    8700k running at 4.7ghz (Averages around 40% usage in game)
    16gigz ddr4 Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz
    Asus z370 prime mobo
    Evga 850 Supernova g2 psu
    Dell 1440p 144hz monitor G-sync off

    Game settings - Mythical
    V-sync off
    Tried limited and unlimited frame rate lock didn't make a difference.

    Any ideas?
