Review of sea of thieves up till now

Ok first of all fellow captains i want to make this clear, this is from my point of view.

First of all i want to thank Rare for making this fabulous and beautiful game. without them none of the experiences i've had the opportunity to experience wouldn't of been possible so thanks

so lets start at the beginning.
I was lucky enough to be selected as a beta tester, and i was able to enjoy and meet so many people. it was fun being able to test this beautiful game, and experience some crucial skills for combat on the seas.

Update 1 - The Hungering Deep
this was a good turning point in the game, it lacked a lot of content up till this point and was mainly PVP of the seas. it brought a lot of people together and was good to see the building blocks for the alliance system we see today. hunting the Meg was fun, and it was good to see tasks being placed that brought crews together to hunt a target.

Update 2 - Cursed sails
this was fun to see and it brought the alliance system and some more content for the players.
this was fun and was a few changes for good and bad added. Also the brig being added was a good point, allowing players to have teams of 3 on a ship (it was handy for my crew as we only had the 3 of us.
It also announced that the group systems to have closed groups this was a major change

Update 3 - Forsaken shores
this to me was a fun update bringing the brig this was a major update, it brought more content for Dutch and kept us all busy.

Update 4 - Forsaken shores.
this was a good change to the game, extended the map and brought us some tougher ships and enemy's to fight. having to dodge the volcanoes was fun, and gave you a new aspect of the game.

Update 5 - Shrouded Spoils
This was a big update the seas needed, it brought us ghost ships chasing us now and made it so we not just sailing around now for pointless hours without something to do.
This was huge for me, it brought us something the game needed, and i've noticed that the game has brought back a lot of players who had taken a break as they had nothing to do. the fog and the kraken changes were vital.

So here is a review of the changes made i think were good for the game ill just list them:

1. Alliance Systems
2. More content
3. Brig
4. Closed Crews
5. New Reputations
6. New Skeleton Experiences.
7. New treasures to obtain.
8. Cursed Cannon balls
9. New Treasures from kraken and megs and ghost ships
10. ship customisation's - wheel cannons and anchor wheel.
    there is so much its hard to list them all.

Bad things added:

1. Barrel system change
2. Skeletons being updated
3. Sword Changes
4. Sniper rifle buff
5. kraken blocks the entrance to ships on decks when attacks (needs revised)
6. Brig feels so weak compared to other two ships.

Now again this is just some of my points. id love to hear some of your thoughts and opinions.
And please guys lets keep this clean.

Hope you enjoyed my quick review of game.
And look forward to seeing some of you on the seas.
