Finding it hard to continue....

@xot3rm1n4t0rox yup

@captnpugbeard said in Finding it hard to continue....:

I think the latest update has not helped long term players. I was surprised that they switched off all the other forts to encourage players into Devils Roar - making the loot significantly different at Molten Sands might have worked better?

Have seen very few players do the fort since the update, there is a real hassle factor in committing to it now with volcano eruptions and am not sure the return is enough to entice players to go there.

Too much downtime with multiple eruptions if you are unlucky with timings - looking forward to this change being removed at the next update.

Appreciate for players with less game time this might be great, but still think they could have kept all the forts up and encourage players there, rather than forcing. Tools not rules.

i agree with you regarding the forts, i did the Molten Sands fort once and took ages and i`m not doing it again :D also everytime i have been online never seen 1 ship at that fort

instead i`m going to take a break from game and wait for the next update to arrive :(

@nofears-fun ha detto in Finding it hard to continue....:

It would be nice for Rare to address this. They used to talk about their desire for more content directed at PLA10 players. In fact (not sure if this is still a saying or part of their advertising, but it used to be) they used to say "the adventure begins at Pirate Legend).

Unfortunately, when the game released, it had a severe lack of content. So the dev's have been spending all their time on new content.

My hope is that now that the game has plenty of content for new, or even pirates somewhere between new and PLA10, to do, that they might now start actually spending some time developing what's next for those of us long in the tooth pirates that would love some specific content directed towards us. And hopefully, it is something more than just re-skinned quests, and certainly nothing like grinding those Athena's out.

I AGREE brother, lots of people are waiting for legend contenent idk it they are waiting for something, forget or something more, I believe in capitancy update it is cloose like update

@bugaboo-bill you understand they promised something? And we didn't see something for legends like cursed sails?! and most of the people are waiting capitancy update since the day one? If you remember, before the release the game they talked a lot about end game content... Lot's of people could be tired to wait dude

@xot3rm1n4t0rox part of the capitancy update is to maiming your ship, and I remember from some time ago they want to add this, don't loose your hope brother

when the said the Adventure begins as a legend i understood something different.
No need to do anything anymore, but free roaming the sea for booty and to immerse into the environment without having the feeling to have to fulfill any tasks anymore - such a great freedom we have.

Want a job? Want stuff to work off?
I really dont, i enjoy my freedom and did so even before i was PLA10.
I aproach the game different, because i realised that progression and "stuff to do" is not mandatory in SoT.
I like the game extra because of that.

@bugaboo-bill good for you :)

@sunbro95 sagte in Finding it hard to continue....:

@bugaboo-bill good for you :)

indeed ☠

@bugaboo-bill you can undersand whatever you want but our dear Chapman....
..."As well as acting as the endgame at launch, this new hub will be the jumping-off point for future content, eventually becoming your default home base. From there, you will be able to progress beyond being a Pirate Legend.

“One of the first major updates we want to add is the idea of Pirate Legends becoming Legendary Captains,” Chapman says. “You become this fictional Jack Sparrow or Blackbeard of the pirate world in Sea of Thieves, and will build your own Black Pearl. You leave the area by sailing out through the waterfall, like Batman leaving the Batcave, and people will know you’re a Pirate Legend when they see your ship in the world.”

idk your idea of endgame and i respect it
but this is the words ;)
i linked evrything who is interested and have a more clear ida of evrything :))))))))

@sunbro95

we have all except the Waterfall spawn.
After you are PL you get access to Athena and can do that to A10. You have Ship liverys others dont have. If you are a year one PL you even got a special PL livery.
If you feel like Sparrow or Blackbeared is up to yourself.
Iirc they didnt do the Athena Hideout spawn, to have PL's not been in a "safe space" when they launch.

@bugaboo-bill did you read the part about there is legendary captain after pirate legend? i don't think so :')
its your idea we are free what we want to belive in this game i respect it
cheers bud

@sunbro95

Athena Captain???

i assume you want more "meaning" to beeing PL, right?
Well it's still a horizontal progression game.
There is no meaning beyond wearing other cosmetics and i hope there will never be any.
I dont need to segregrate from other players, i dont need to show off anything.
I'm PL A10 and i'm even a Founder and whatnot, Hunter of the Shrouded Ghost, having all time limited cosmetics ....
But i dont compare myself to others.
It has value to myself, because it was and still is fun to play.
I bought the game becasue it has no meaningfull progression, i bought it because it has no mandatory grind, because i like the gameloop and doing what we can do in this Seabox.

I understand the OP, but then all who agree need to realize that this game is not designed that way and will never please you.

Completionists and Achievers want to grind and then show off that they did it.
Well you can do that to some degree, but it has an end and the game is casual friendly or was made more and more casual friendly.
Today its far more easy to get to PL and to A10.
There is more PvE content that provides more loot to achieve it more quick.

For many gamers, this devalues their grind, to me it doesn't because i dont care.
And i think the whole idea and concept of the game is to not to care for this mainly, but second it completeley.

To me the game is far more than levels of reputation or going for commendations.
Imho these things are only here to attract achievers and completionists, but i asked myself always how can you satisfy this sort of gamers, if not having endless progression?

Make Athena level endless, ok and then they will complain that it's meaningless anyay. They will realize they arent after beeing Athena level 100 or 1000, they are after a meaning and segregation from other players who havent reached what they have reached to feel better, good or whatever.
Well this is not my intention to play games.
I play games for fun and i only do what is fun to me.
Many gamers play games to compensate and compete among each other, having this, having that, put more effort in to deserve better rewards.
The whole concept of SoT is beyond that.
You can do so to some degree and be proud about your pixels you have achieved as Athena 10 Legend.
Fine and then what?
You can add what you want, people will work it off and continue to complain, because what they are after is something what can only be done with endless progression.
And then they will realize anyway that that isn't what they are after and maybe will even exhaust on it.
It also would support addiction and people cannot let go, playing 5+ hours a day or even 10+ hours a day and then bragg with beeing Level whatever.

exclusive Regions is a bad idea, because you can run there and hide from other players who arent PL.

A Tall Tale for beeing Athena 10 and to get the Curse of the Mysterious stranger with the glowing eyes would be fine. But what do you want more?

If the game is fun, play it!
If you need something to show off or to segregate from others other than to have different cosmetics the concept of SoT just doesnt fit i'd say.
There will be nothing else than horizontal progression!
At least i hope so, because the moment they change it is the moment i'll leave it i guess.

@bugaboo-bill as i said before we have an different idea of this shared world game, i'm not here for blame someone... like you buddy :'))))
i linked only a page where chapman said something about the end game contenent... and i undersand what is written :') don't be mad if i have a different idea from you
🤦‍♂️🤣😂

@sunbro95

One of the first major updates we want to add is the idea of Pirate Legends becoming Legendary Captains,” Chapman says.

When PL you get access to Athena Hideout and can start to become Athena Level 10 and equip the Athena Cosmetics for Pirate and Ship.

“You become this fictional Jack Sparrow or Blackbeard of the pirate world in Sea of Thieves, and will build your own Black Pearl.

i never thought of beeing able to "build" a ship, but to change the livery.

You leave the area by sailing out through the waterfall, like Batman leaving the Batcave...

as is said iirc they didnt it, because it makes it a safe haven to spawn.

and people will know you’re a Pirate Legend when they see your ship in the world.”

they do if you have equiped the cosmetics and or titles.

So honestly, what are you looking for?

@bugaboo-bill "the capitancy update" maybe? 🤦‍♂️
"legendary captain" is after pirate legend title is a new thing you can name your ship and so on...

@sunbro95

have you a list of features that were ever confirmed for that update?
please share with source!

One was the waterfall spawn, i commented above.

Naming your ship? fine, i also want to do that, but why shoul that be something PL exclusive and how would that solve the OP's problem of not seeing any cause to play further?

@bugaboo-bill this update was one of the frist update as i remembered with animals and "premium shop" but it was pushed away because there wasn't not much PL in this game and people didn't want the premium shop cause they told there wasn't to do something to do in this game, so the devs changed the road map with hungery deep and so on

this talk about the first updates ....
and this talk about the changed road map with video too

@sunbro95

the only thing i can get from that what we dont have is that the Kraken and Megs arent Alliance content, but scaling encounters to please the Soloers.
Bad imho, i'd like to have no scaling and the Kraken to be hard to fight and maybe even only beatable in an alliance.

Well i read nothing we havent got since release, except naming the ship maybe.

@bugaboo-bill
is not my problem if people dont read 👌🤷‍♂️
