Why are you asking rare to remove the ability to steal loot?

@jakemks said in shores of gold:

today me and my friend tried to escape some people and made a good play by taking the shores of gold tall tale and escaping to the red sea and then to the shores of gold. we thought we were safe as making it possible for 2 crews to go there would be bluntly stupid. well they got there too for some reason and without our knowledge stole our loot and sunk us. Rare should really make it so only 1 crew can do it cause that is very stupid. Think about people doing it with some loot in their ship and when they are gonna do the boss fight some one would just steal everything. its broken and now when i know its possible if i see people going there of course im gonna do it as its free loot.

In short please make it so only 1 crew can do atleast the shores of gold without getting killed.

Come on..
Seriously how unlikely is it?

Is it every time you go to shores of gold a ship comes by who so happens to be thinking of doing it too?

Of course not.

But why should we queue to do a tall tale?

I use the shroud breaker as a pass to a protected island fishing spot. I fish for sometimes hours and then deliver a huge haul of fish, a full storage crate full. I've never seen another ship there.

This doesn't need to be enforced. You should of used the opportunity to escape when they went back to morrow peak for the shroud breaker.

@scurvywoof fair

Translation: I tried to exploit the shroubreaker totem to escape a PvP encounter and keep all of my loot, and it didn't work as expected. Please change the game so that I can use this exploit with impunity.

Why do people say this? If PvEers left, who would find your loot for you?

Finding and collecting loot isn't hard. You practically run over it while sailing, its that abundant.

I wish this were true in real life lol.

If PvP'ers left, who would provide the thrill of protecting that loot? Its a symbiotic relationship, but there is something you seem to forget. The high majority of players are PvEvP, so the majority is finding loot while simultaneously trying to steal it. It may come as a surprise that even PvP players still gather loot. Finding and collecting loot isn't hard. You practically run over it while sailing, its that abundant.

@jakemks pirating is a dangerous business.

eliminating this danger in anyway would defeat the spirit of the game.

dont like it? leave.

@spr0ckw3ll
If u don't like people's opinion in the forum, leave. Or say something constructive. Seriously, people saying leave if you don't like it, what's the point of having a feedback forum?

@jakemks

Well another thing they could do is maybe warn people that are on the island that another ship is on their way or that another ship is maybe 100 meters away so they have even some time to react.

I see no reason to give another player an advantage over another. As @SpR0ckw3ll said, you could have put someone on watch, but no other crew gets a warning system in this game, why should you? Another option is to park your ship more out of sight on the backside of the island. As I said before as well, people won't just go to the Shores without purpose anyways, so you should be safe. Unless they know you are there, they have no reason to go there. You are not completely out of options, but what you suggest just breaks the game by creating an effective way to combat log fights.

@jakemks you COULD afford a crew member to play lookout on the boat.

but it seems you are not a strong fighter and likely need help with the gold hoarder.

@nabberwar yeah u could say i made this post while very mad and u got a very good point with the thing that someone can just take the quest and not do it. Well another thing they could do is maybe warn people that are on the island that another ship is on their way or that another ship is maybe 100 meters away so they have even some time to react. it would ruin the suprise aspect sure but it would be more fair to the ones who were doing it first. Maybe i am wrong cause im angry rn and not thinking straight.

There are no instanced missions in Sea of Thieves by design. It's an open world, and fleeing to the shores of gold is, at most, a temporary respite. You're lucky that the people chasing you didn't have Shores of Gold saved as a waypoint to just follow you immediately. Your best bet would have been to stash your loot somewhere on the island. There is a LOT of shoreline, bushes, caves, etc you could hide your loot there.

@spr0ckw3ll but u go underground. UNDERGROUND and u have to almost finish the tall tale to get back to da ship

@jakemks

In short please make it so only 1 crew can do atleast the shores of gold without getting killed.

And effectively make a way for you to avoid all conflict? There is no stopping people from just going there without the intent to actually do the Tall Tale. No, I don't think they should. I like how you initially used the shroudbreaker as an escape tool without the intent of doing the Shores of Gold, yet got mad when they did the same. I don't think Rare will do what you are suggesting because it goes against a sandbox narrative by giving players tools not rules. What if two ships want to Alliance and help someone do the Shores of Gold? Not everything is done out of malice, by nerfing the violent side of things, you take away the cooperative aspect as well.

There is also the practicality of that, the Shores of gold is far enough out of sight, that most won't bother checking if people are there unless they have some method that gives insights that they are there. This includes Emissaries Grade levels and someone have Reaper 5 to spot it, Reaper's Marks, or Reaper's Chests. People just won't waste there time checking if people are there unless they saw them go there or have knowledge that they are there already.

@jakemks several tales require leaving your boat behind while you are locked away elsewhere

@spr0ckw3ll i like the pvp but u cant even do anything about it. u cant hear anything if u are fighting the boss. its only a problem in the shores of gold
