Sea of Bugs.. [Mod edit]

That's not a bug it's just bad luck.

@mferr11 It's an 100% bug or it's just bad coded....
15x voyages and 0x skull it's really disappointing, don't you think? It also isn't that hard to code it just to find it once every 1-2 or maybe 3 voyages...

Ps. this morning my friend has also done 5 more voyages and still nothing.... We've already done this voyage 80 times and we know how does it work when there's bad luck: it can happens 0 skull for 2, 3 or maximum 4 voyages, but recently after 20 voyages still 0 skull it's embarassing seriously. Just tell me a reason why we should play it lol

Everytime Rare gets closer to release a new patch this happens... All the servers are broken, impossible/useless/waste of time to play on it and then after couple of weeks when everything is uploaded it maybe can be playable. Recent example: have you at least done this voyage? Because recently it didn't count me couple of skull sold either!! Commendations bugged is a kind of bug we know since day 1, do you not agree?

@ziobasi Yes, the game has bugs. Show me one game without bugs.

The thing you're referring to, however, is probably not a bug but just bad luck in the RNG. I've failed to collect all of the tomes because I kept getting the ones I already had.

A bug? No.
Bad luck? Yes.
Reason to cry? No.
Hotel? Trivago.

@l4chsfps Bugs are ok in games, but SoT is just broken lol. Actually other games fix the bugs while SoT still keep having them.... Tell me a name of a game where you play and at the end you get nothing or tell me a game where achievements/commendation don't count. Every games I know work fluent at this point of view.

About the "bug" or " bad luck"... Have you tried to do at least two calculations on what I said? How many chance did my friend and I have to find 0 skull on 20 voyages?! Next time I should play the lottery lol

A bug? Maybe.
Bad coded? Yes.
Reason to cry? No, but to make fun of yes.
Hotel? No, for everything else there's Mastercard

@stripes3071 I've already completed the entire game. All achievements and commendation done. Just miss few of them but they are ALL bugged/bad coded seriously

@roverandom5158 I can totally agree with you. I remember old days with my Gamboy and N64... Rare it was one of the best Company in that moment and the best games I have ever played in my life have been made by them. This company doesn't seem the same, who knows what happened

@ziobasi said in Sea of Bugs.. (this game is for stupid players):

And again again and again..... There's always couple of bugs in this game which don't let you play it! Right now the Athen's Run it is. I just miss few skulls to get the last comestic but in the last 3 days I've done almost 15 voyages without getting even one!! That's embarassing....
The % of spawn it was 1 skull every 1 or 2 voyages, now it's 0 after 15 voyages...

Rare why do you release something if its bugged?! Why you still adding stuff in the game without even fix the old ones (I can make an entire list of bugs that I see since day 1). It's just embarassing what you'r doing and it would be nice to know what's in your mind since you just wasting our free time.

I am tired of being teased, after two years I think I have already given enough trust in the company and I must say that they are not quite up to creating a PC game, perhaps better to go back to the dear and old Gameboy games, there they knew how to create games.
Congratulations to the company for being able to ruin a possible masterpiece.

This game is for stupid players?
Right back at you pal.
I enjoy this game and im certainly not stupid.

I have been playing the game for two years and have not seen a single bug. What are you talking about?

@daringclarky I enjoyed this game too, but if players like you continue to support a bugged game and like it this way, this is what we will get.
So at the end this game is made only for players like you, I'm sorry but that's the true. (This is way lot of players already left the game and servers are empty)

@alekseylight
Are you kidding me?! We should play two different games man....
Fortunately I have evidences... if you have some time go to see some clips that I saved on my twitch channel, then you will see just SOME of the numerous bugged this game had/has. (Because maybe you don't know, but one time I used to spend lot of my free time to post bugs into this forum with videos, to play Insider Program and releasing reviews.... all useless)
If that didn't make you satisfy, I'll make a huge list for you from day 1 since now talking on every patched they've released

@roverandom5158
I see... that's unlucky....
And what happened to those exceptional developers, you know something? Just to know if a smart huge company had the idea to hire them

@weedstar-deluxe
That's what I'm thinking. There's something strange into the algorithm because not finding anything for 20+ voyages would mean having such a bad luck that it's maybe better to not play at all! Or maybe don't even go out from your house!!

I get that the servers need work and the lag needs to be addressed etc but your title suggests people who continue to play this game are stupid.

The game is still fun even in its current state so i cant agree with you there.

I agree it needs addressing but the playerbase arent stupid. Well.. Most of them anyways.

SOT has no direct competition. So there is no other game like it.
End of the day im a gamer and i wont stop playing a game out of "principle" to teach them a lesson because there is no competition.

If everyone was to quit..
A would-be competitor would see the game as a failure and probably wouldnt bother making a similar game because of that.
So in effect, how can they get better if we abandon ship? Pun intended.

The game will get better.
Gotts remember too with the whole covid 19, they are gonna struggle to make updates.
Cut them some slack, they'll patch the holes when the world is back to normal im sure of it.

@ziobasi
The original brothers left but had a fair market share in Nintendo so had made their money.
They have been living off that ever since.

Anyone with any talent left soon after and created a new company which made the timesplitters games.

What we are left with at Rare are the dregs of game development which clearly shows with the design of SoT :(

That seems a bit harsh.
SOT offers gameplay unlike any other games on console.

Most developers make battle royale clones, re release the same games with new gfx, some even release the same game year on year and just add a number on it like fifa and some COD and Battlefield games.

I think compared to the other companies they arent doing too bad.

Now Peter Molyneux with the fable franchise...now that was a dreg of the gaming industry.

Rare aint perfect i admit but id play their games over EA anyday.

@musicmee
Your intervention is certainly appreciated, but let's be honest ... how many times have your team said this? And why we still see old bugs if your team actually say they've fixed them?
The reality seen by the eyes of a player instead: the bugs are "temporarily" fixed after a few weeks from the release of a new patch and then reappear immediately after a month. I don't call it a fix honestly....

@daringclarky
Just want to tell you that the next update was suppose to be released a month ago, it was already ready so not much work involved dureing Covid19... They are just late.

The competition here is in the fact that they asked for money for a game making false promises, it seems to me the least feeling to be taken for a ride, don't you think? As if you went to eat at a restaurant and they treated you very badly, wouldn't you want to leave a negative review?

@daringclarky
The only things good in this game are:

1. The ocean: really well made/realistic
2. Ship fight: really realistic
3. Tall Tales: only the first 9 really took me

And that's it.
In 25+ years of videogaming I've never seen a game which keep giving back the same rewards over and over treating players like [Mod edit]

What if there was no other restaurant though?

If there was a game similar to SOT that was better then sure, leave them. But there isnt.

The idea of what this game was supposed to be has been in the back of my mind since i was a kid. Then finally a company made a pirate game where you are a lowly crew member not just a captain.

In a way this game is like a seed. its poking its head past the dirt right now and will hopefully grow to be something better than it is.

But its the only plant so we have no choice but to tend to it because there isnt anything like it right now.

Maybe there will be a new game like it one day thats more stable, more fun and so on. But since this is the closest pirate game to that 'vision' i always wanted to play, im gonna stick by these and hopefully wont be disappointed down the line.

I get what you are saying though and its very valid.

I just have doubts that another developer would make a game similar to this.

This game is quite ambitious.
Most other developers tend to go the easy option and churn out lesser ambitious games.

@j-s-st-johnson I dont really care much about the cosmetics.

I care more about the gameplay.
Sure there needs to be rewards of sorts however its hard becauwe they also dont wanna give advantages i.e more damage guns etc etc.

The whole point i sail is for the adventure and sometimes the pvp.
I dont really care about the loot or commendations or cosmetics.

@j-s-st-johnson no worries bro

You have to remember this is Rare we are talking about. They have shown their incompetence on numerous occasions. This is just another example in a long, long list.

Also this is not the same company that made the great games of the past. Confusing the 2 is a terrible mistake.

@roverandom5158 said in Sea of Bugs.. [Mod edit]:

@ziobasi
Rare was bought by Microsoft and the original developers left :(
The quality has never been the same since.

Bro you made it very clear that you don't like this game and you are only here to hate on Rare. Just get off the forums already.

@Musicmee Isn't spreading hate against ToS? I get having feedback is good but this guy has never given any argument, just hate and direct insults to Rare.

Ontopic:

This is meant to be extremely hard, because they don't want everyone to have the cosmetics you get from these. This rant could also apply on the shrouded ghost, also extremely low chance to find. It's meant to be this way ;)

And like @Musicmee said, may will be an QoL/bug fixes patch so :D

@j-s-st-johnson said in Sea of Bugs.. [Mod edit]:

@daringclarky The only cosmetic for the Athena’s Run is the costume you get for doing the runs 5 times.

Not true fellow Pirate! For selling all 6 items 50 times you unlock ghost cannons, anchor and wheel ;). Check the shipwright in the PL hideout.
