[MEGA THREAD] Update 2.0.12 - Crews of Rage Discussion & Feedback

Is there any actual content in this update besides the Chest of Rage?

Strawberry beard needs addressing on Xbox

@methetron-mkii everybody is trying to hop on today. It's going to happen.

Thanks for bringing back key voyages even if they're overpriced now. Still helps remove part of the RNG of getting the tomes.

Collector's Chests can now be sold to the hunters Hunter’s Call!

For a good pirate price i hope ;)

"Player will no longer encounter an invisible wall between the bowsprit and hull of a Sloop."

This is nice!

finally a patch with less content and more bug fixes. look forward to seeing finished work on sword combat.

RARE is running out of ideas and only care about cosmetics. So much potential for this game but nothing ever changes.

if all they do is bug fixes and no content from here on out. that works for me.

I'm curious to see what the finished sword combat looks like. and a possible fix to double gunning glitch is intriguing.

edit: did rare seriously make molten sands the only active event? seriously lol... just... facepalm...

clever way to boost numbers at a usually vacant fort.

Friend changed their black male pirate to a white female pirate, and is now a black female pirate.

Only one active Fort? Ew.

UPS

1. joined instantly checked the blackmarket love whats in there.
2. new rage chest intresting to see what we can do boarding will be better now :)

DOWNS

1. longer loadtime
2. way more lag

@takuboto

Well it's another update where the main activity is just a voyage. It's a continuation of the trend we've been seeing for the whole past year. Another filler update, not terribly exciting. Still waiting for things that change the game for long term/high level players and Pirate Legend content.

Is everything okay between Rare and Microsoft? I certainly hope so...

Nice to see the Chest of Rage out live, so it'll be nice to see how people use these as weapons. The Viva Pinata ship is incredible and I'll definitely be buying this one; Viva Pinata was one of my favorite games as a kid. The Reaper's Heart Weapons are nice as well.

Unfortunately it seems like the Emporium has gotten another bountiful slew of additions while the main update seems like mostly mundane and reskinned content apart from the Chest of Rage.

Growing the Emporium is great and I'm always glad to see new stock there, but the problem is that it seems you're just not putting the same level of attention into the base game. This is another trend a lot of us have noticed.

I'm not trying to be a negative nancy, I just want Sea of Thieves to do well and to have a lot of longevity for many years to come. These types of updates aren't going to do the job I don't think.

Purchased pirate appearance potion and it won’t let me use it. Even after quitting my game multiple times as well as restarting my Xbox it still won’t work.

@jojoyster

They've been disabled for now. There's a thread about it...

Anywho

99 dubloons a key voyage? Yikes!

@jojoyster i have the same problem

Here's the thread about the potions

I just completed the Legendary Chest of Rage voyage, but my Ashen Guardian's skull and notes are nowhere to be found. I turned up my graphics and volume and looked everywhere, but could never find it. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. Anyone else have this issue? Did it just get blasted somewhere? I died with a keg near it, but I think it may have died before I used the keg from fire.

If it's just I somehow can't find it, then Discovery Ridge is an awful destination for the ending. At least, the spawn placement of the waves is.

I think Rare finally realized they overpromised and under delivered on Devil's Roar, but, by golly, they'll find a way to get you over there. Even if it is having more fetch quests and one active fort.

yah make the only fort the typically vacant fort.. brilliant? lol but they kept the fleet event in the rotation lol so any server with the fleet up people will hop to find another fort.

at least they fixed the incomplete sword mechanics that were brought last patch. I guess... and another band-aid on double gunning.. that people will peel off and find a new way to do it

I lol'd RL when I read the notes. so bad

I love u rare. but come on

I think the new chest of rage is a bit over powered as I think it combusts too quickly when on the move I.E when I was transported it from the location I dug it up to reapers hideout it combusted 8 times

After about 8 hours of playing this update, I do not believe there is any difference in the mermaids. If I fall off my ship, I still have to wait the same amount of time before the mermaid comes up. If I'm trying to jump off to board someone chasing me, my mermaid still chooses to pop up right as their boat is approaching to let them know I'm there. And if I'm swimming up to a ship that's parked at an island, my mermaid will still pop right at their ladder to wave to them that someone else is there. I have not seen any difference at all in how it used to be.

I personally think it’s another disappointing update. Usual rubbish reskinned. These mercenary voyages are wearing thin.
Another thing, Rare have just made more commendations easier to achieve as they have historically with all others and predictably did with these. Go fight a watered down lord/boss on an island instead of a fort and get your kills that way.

Nothing new here at all, just Rare regurgitating what they always do.

Side note. Who would have thought there would be issues with the customisation potion?? Didn’t see that coming 😂😂

The positives...... Players having the return to the Roar. (expect endless posts about it being to hard and volcanos erupting to often to follow)

so there appears to be a bug that needs to be hot fix. the game freezes for two to three seconds occasionally. happened on Xbox, my friends potato PC, my decent PC and my other friends monster PC.

the freezes seem to occur when encountering a new player ship as the other crews models render in. I doubt rare will fix it til next patch. but it's a huge issue.

I did another voyage, and I have some thoughts: first, running all over a huge island to find a skeleton crew is not fun. Second, running all over said same huge island to dig up an Ashen Chest (I skipped the others) that doesn't even contain a new tome is...disappointing, to say the least. These take long enough having to go to the Roar, having them end on enormous islands just makes them oppressive.

So here we go buying chests and keys what fun we have only 10k dubs left i hope we find your new tomes whatever 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Load times are garbage.

Optimize your net code or just remove the option to solo altogether. Forced interactions do not make the game better either.
