Hello. I would like a change to be applied to the installation of Sea of ​​Thives in the Xbox App for PC since this does not allow the installation of it in a custom folder like other games or this same one in Steam and this is my main reason why which I don't play since I don't want to use the default folders of the Launcher. I haven't played for a few months because of this. And in feedback they have not listened to this suggestion. Please, can you communicate this to the development team or that they remove the game from Xbox and give it to me for Steam since this problem affects me when managing my files. Thank you.

@thorumsu their game stands out alright, its second only to rust in reputation for toxicity. no wonder the player base for SOT is declining.

@tenriak two things. first, your toxicity is typical and why alot of players dont want to touch this game. secondly, how would pve servers even effect you as most players who want sea of thieves pve dont even play the game now? youre just touting your opinions about whats valuable, its a freaking video game and i feel extremely sad for you and your life if thats what you need to validate your existence by there being a value to a virtual treasure. and you OBVIOUSLY know nothing about pve experience or hanging out with good people. so run along and be toxic on your stream with your 12 viewers. im done with ya.

Is this a PvE server thread or a custom server thread? Those are two different things.

PvE servers will never happen thankfully. It would kill the game. You sheep wouldn't play any more after you had 400 million gold and were alone the whole time. 90% of this game is interaction with other pirates. The treasure, and the experience of collecting it, is more valuable if its hard to get. Its hard to get when contested by other players. If you want a PvE server just open up the calculator on your computer press '1' '+' '1' then 'enter' on your keyboard. You can watch that number go up forever. If you're smart you can code a little "ching" sound every time it gets another digit.

Custom servers are completely different. No rewards given. You don't make gold. That will be freakin' awesome one day. We will see competitions and tournaments and all kinds of cool stuff. But, can't have that until we can block with our swords and hits register.

@trathan1955 and im not sure if you know this, even Rockstar got it through their heads finally and gave fully working invite only server sessions to its players in july and its numbers are back on the rise with all the pve'ers knowing they can play the game with friends and not have to deal with toxic random pvpers screwing up their game time.

Thats the whole point. Every game does this. Sea Of Thieves does not however. Which makes it uniqe. Creating player interaction that you can't see in any other game. Sure, bringing PVE servers may let Rare make bank but thats not what they want. They want their game to be uniqe and stand out. This comes with some side effects such as spawncamping trolls but it also lets uniqe player interaction.

@bloodybil if rare wants to lose out on the money pvers would pay to buy the game with the option of pve servers thats their choice. and its truly sad, they have an amazing game on their hands that a ton of players will never see or experience because they believe sea of thieves should force social interaction. their forced social interaction results in crews of gankers sinking regular casual players just to be toxic. but hey, thats their choice. sad thing is, all the mechanics are there, its no extra programming to turn pvp off on a server. there are tons fo games where you can play both pve and pvp and just keep them separate so pve grinders dont out gold the toxic gankers. but it is what it is, so if rare wants to give up on several million dollars its their choice.

its the wrong choice but its theirs.

@realwebber69 location, location, location. Extrapolate.

@buplug not saying that it doesn’t exists just sounds like a quite unlucky experience
Also why can’t you go on Xbox servers?
Seems weird
Might need to report that…

[mod edit]

maybe you’re just unlucky
I mean I play Xbox
You’re the only Xbox user I think that has reported this

@lem0n-curry Yupp.. And it actually works once or twice a YEAR. I'm not a nOoB.. Don't go by the acct name.. I'm a founder etc... Just incognito to see what will be done.

New house, new connection, new systems. All systems are a go!

I don't went by the account name or history at all, just pointing out there is one - not everyone is aware of that and going by your all bold statement (which is frowned upon on the forums) and wild accusations towards PC users and Rare ... I thought you were new enough to be not aware of the feature.

happy sails

@buplug
You are aware that you can choose to play on Xbox controller servers ? It's a preference, so might not always put you in them.

I really want it available to the general public, instead of just partners and insiders.

why can't we have PvE sessions? that's why I left the game, and not just me and it's a shame, the 80% of the community will PvE sessions!

I will need some proof of that.

I already answered this as accurate as the statement of the developers.

Sea of thieves is not a PVP or a PVE game. Its a PVPVE sandbox game. Thats what makes the game beatiful. All types of players are thrown into the same server, creating player interaction that you cant see in any other game. Tools not rules after all. The lore, the music, loot are all there to make the game feel more lively.

If PVE servers get added, people will soon realise the game feels the same to all the other games and drop it in a week. I still enjoy the game to this day because there are endless content. Not just sinking people (that gets Boring quick), the organic interaction is fun too. Players are the content. What other game does this? Sure, Dayz does this too but its not in a lively world. So people quickly become bored of it.

@janina2
I’ve removed your post as I see you’ve c/p the same over on the Feedback + Suggestions cat.

Rare value your feedback but have made things quite clear regarding their thoughts on PvPvE (including a link to the Sea of Thieves Podcast that discusses it) here: https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/topic/136693/pvpve-the-team-s-thoughts/1

You can read an article by Joe here in regards to Private/Custom Servers.

Cheers!
