@metalman981 not a chance, dynamics unseen in pvp games these days.. it may not be attractive to those who chase dopamine; but nothing will satisfy those addled by that quest hunting the dragon.. a waste of time and a waste of their life journey. for those who’ve been looking for a new experience that strays far from these recent conventions,
this will do rather nicely🤔🤗⛵️

I’m guessing the game will be somewhat barebones at launch, unless they are hiding an insane amount of content from players (which I doubt). Hoping Rare will recognize the hype, hire some more people, and release some HUGE updates after launch.

@metalman981

My concern is the lack of progression and desire for such with todays MMO community.

Most people return to a game with a goal in mind. Better stat oriented gear being the primary draw.

When your pirate looks the way you want and you have more gold than you can do anything with, I don't see many players signing on to run the same quest between the same island chains for long.

That said, we've only an idea of what's possible in game right now and what they have planned to come.

I think everyone should wait until the final beta to really decide if they want to cancel their preorder or not. Rare has announced that there is going to be one final beta that is way closer to the final release version

@metalman981

It’s gonna have Raids
It’s gonna have limited time events
Its got a boat load of content you haven’t seen and that’s just at Launch.

This Is Sea of Thieves Endgame

Also seems they can add change and remove islands? Alter biomes etc
That keeps the promise of keeping things box fresh.

@metalman981 also we've seen order of the souls to a point. The messages in a bottle let some of us try it out. It was pretty cool, but I bring it up just to show that digging up chest won't be all that we can do.

@metalman981 I can understand why someone would think that. This is a unique game that strays far from a lot of modern conventions.

I believe Sea of Thieves could be a very important game for the industry. Rare are taking risks with this title and risks are vital to stop the industry from becoming stale. I really do want to see this game do well because of its risks and I think it's garnered enough attention to have a decent chance to be a big success.

@gulpee-rex said in I love the idea but after the stress test i think the game might flop.:

Sea of Thieves will be a good game. It won't flop. We only had access to a small part of the game. Some features we will get in the future:

• Kraken
• Skeleton Forts
• Order of Souls
• Trading Company
• Pets
• In-game events
• The whole stuff with Pirate Legends
• Ship customisation

perfec... with my xperience at this last weeken you could add to list:

• Hunt their own treasures after their ship sink--this--in my case--was epic and hopeless
• Controlling a galleon alone after his three crewmen took DC-it was hard, sacrificial and frightening
• Find other pirates on the same island. -At some point you arrived with your ship on an island then landed to hunt treasures and when crossing the island realizes that there is another ship on the beach on the other side and that there are other pirates on the island?

and for the topic:
I was waiting so long a game at bring me a fun like I had so time ago playing Sid Meiers Pirates. This isnt a bore game, maybe its simple not is your favorite style game.

@hoehnfels and there be alot more to do when the game is released. As theres things they still havent mention yet that will be in the game

@metalman981 I wouldn't judge the final game by this stress test. They obviously hoped we would enjoy the time playing but it was to test the strength of there servers. There's going to be more to do in the full game.

@rarebabysteaks Well the contents we experienced was more a "demo" than a beta... The game is ready for sure, some minors bugs to fix till the release, but the game is there.

@metalman981 but its only a alpha and beta. Of course there not going to use its full potential:/

@ironuzuka said in I love the idea but after the stress test i think the game might flop.:

@metalman981 It'll be an honor to sail alongside pirates like you who share our love for the sea! Deception is one of pirate's greatest weapons YAR!
(good talk man, we actually reached common ground which is ironic for seafarers :])

haha thanks man. But i might not be this friendly if catch you in a ship full of treasures ARRR

Yous do realise that the final game aint just going to be getting treasure chest? Theres going to be alot more to do. At the moment rare are holding thibgs back for launch. You dont want to give out all the content of a game in the alpha or and beta lol

@rcsnipes100 I agree about the potential. I meant to make a prediction not a judgment. I hope the game becomes a success and we can play it

I have to agree with many of the replies I am reading to this post. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE just let the game get released with all features before you start commenting. The only thing you can truly conclude from Alpha, Beta and Scale Test sessions is whether or not the game has potential. That is it. And in my opinion this game has a TON of potential. And I have had a blast playing it so far. Do I have any concerns, sure, but terrific potential clearly exists. And many aspects of game play experienced already have been very enjoyable for plenty of people.

@ironuzuka haha i think it is important to give also negative feedback to make devs not too comfortable. On this forum we probably share the same passion. The sea, ships, sense of freedom. The feeling of freedom, water effects and sounds were just awesome in the game. In general my feedback is not completly negative. On this thread I shared my worries about the game. You see i worry about the game's success because i love the idea and want to play it. My intentions were not to troll rather to point out the weak points. I hope we meet again in sea of thieves :)

the map isnt that huge,im fine with 16;)

@weedstar-deluxe Meeeh.. 32 players would've been better in my opinion

@stellarsacia man i am not trolling haha you got me wrong. I just express my opinion. The game actually moved me and i want to play it. Heck, i will probably buy it when it comes out but i believe the idea is not being used to its full potential. It is funny you say true pirate experience because pirates rarely attacked each other and burried treasure. They robbed merchant ships and forts. Anyway i am tired of repeating myself :/

No. I dont think it will flopp, rather the opposite.

Sea of Thieves will be a good game. It won't flop. We only had access to a small part of the game. Some features we will get in the future:

@metalman981 nah probably not, i had a good number of concerns a month ago but after seeing some things here and there around various forums and playing in the beta, especially after the bounty stuff was added, i think its pretty neat. furthermore the kraken will add a whole new layer to the game that i think will really enhance the tension, no more getting grogged in unfriendly seas i think
