@noravus1683 said in Sea of Thieves Act 2 events locked out too soon without announcements:

Let me start with saying I have done act 2 already without seeing the announcements.

My question is: If we are not going to get another Bilge Rat during act 2, why is 6-7 week long act tied to Bilge Rats? Maybe It's me but I don't see anything related to the act2 beside looking for Duke. why can't we just jump to act 3 where there is an actual event happening ?
ps: fishing tasks were almost like torture, I'm glad It was short.

Happy we can agree on this. And sorry for the late reply. Desktop is bugged now for some reason.

Would the lot of you even give a crumb about these if it weren’t for the doubloons? Be honest with yourself ya’ll, you didn’t miss out on much. I envy the ones who did real things on those two days. Be proud of yourself and let management kick rocks for making you feel obligated otherwise!!

@arthur79474

Everyone had or has IRL stuff
Being upset over a game event because of real life is silly to say.
Life will always be more important than gaming.

@elmo6842 I just said I was busy IRL though, I was helping move sadly… I think I also had doctor appointments. I just wish the darn window got to be bigger so that I wasn’t locked out for what looks like all of May…

@arthur79474 the start screen before you hit play had the dates right there for you so it was plastered everywhere including on the voyage table. You just didn't read any of it. They even made a whole video discussing it with the dates. You just didn't pay attention.

Who said the War paint was a one time thing? It be back.

Didn't Rare state, that deed rewards will not return?

Edit:
Yes it's stated right here.
"In addition to Commendations, we are also bringing in new time-limited rewards that you can earn for playing during the season in the form of Deeds! These are additional extras as exclusive rewards for being part of the moment!"

@burnbacon I hope you’re right on the paint coming back. If not, nuuuuuuuu…… :’(

I was busy all week for the first Bilge Rat Weekender, and wound up missing it.

Yup. I also missed out on some football games and movies that were in theaters before they were removed.

Now I cannot get the War Paint for the remaining 2 Weeks or any amount of time left at all…

Who said the War paint was a one time thing? It be back.

Discord in announcements or live events, and other social media so people don’t miss it again in the future.

They did this. Youtube, Discord, Twitter, Ingame, and I even got an Email.

this is totally unfair to most of us as well

Life is cruel.

@elmo6842 Aw, blast… But why couldn’t they give out another during Act 2? The window was way too small to unlock everything this act also… And I had real life issues to worry about too…

EDIT: just realized they only announced beforehand when it was starting, not the actual start and end dates… Curse me and my rotten luck…

@arthur79474 it was announced in discord and all their social media posts. It also was on the voyage table and in the seasonal tab. Unfortunately if you missed all those postings you weren't looking at things very well
