Bring back Time-Limited items and cosmetics from previous seasons.

  • Hi, I'm a long time player of this game and have played since the very first scale and beta tests. I think I speak for a majority of us when I say just because an item was only available for a limited time doesn't mean it should be gone forever. If the files for said item still exist, it shouldn't be too difficult to reimplement them into the game.

    As much as we all wish we could find the time and place to dedicate to the game during time-limited events, we all know that simply isn't realistic as life will almost always inevitably get in the way of our plans, resulting in us missing out on cosmetics and items we've strived towards acquiring.

    I myself have had many instances of this happening and not being able to aquire items I had wished on acquiring to better help tell my pirate's story, the ghostlight face paint and Bone Crusher tattoo being prime examples of items I've regretted not being able to acquire due to time constraints.

    I believe a proper comeback for all the time-limited items would help breathe new life and revenue into the game and give a lot of us who were tied down by school or work an opportunity to be satisfied with how we tell our pirates' stories. Sure we've gotten reskins of some items, but they just aren't the same and are a mere reminder of what once was, and then there were several items that had made a comeback to which they were received with positive feedback and gratitude from the community. It'd be a great way to help reinvigorate us older players into reminiscing on the glory days of SoT and give new players an opportunity to experience the good ole days of such an amazing game and an even more amazing community.

    Any feedback or support for this suggestion would be greatly appreciated as I think it's something that's been a long time coming for many of us on the Sea of Thieves. I simply request for the thoughtful consideration of a dev team that we all know has time and time again, strived to listen to and please it's community and help improve such a great game that's brought a lot of us together. Thank you!

  • I missed out on the Wailing Barnacle Dress, Blunderbuss and Pistol, i wasn’t the biggest fan of them and wanted to keep the hard to get doubloons for future items, only to regret that now, but it is what it is, i don’t want them to bring any of the time limited items back, so you can either invent a time machine or just move on, it ain’t the end of the world that you missed out on some cosmetics.

  • I think I speak for a majority of us when I say just because an item was only available for a limited time doesn't mean it should be gone forever

    Nope. Majority of people understand the words "Limited Time" and should remain so.

    we all know that simply isn't realistic as life will almost always inevitably get in the way of our plans

    Correct. Life came first over virtual rewards. What more important? What about the future players who miss out on the Re-release of time limited items? Why even call them that to begin with.

    I believe a proper comeback for all the time-limited items would help breathe new life and revenue into the game

    New life by bringing back 'Old' stuff?

  • @flakenbake01 all non season specific cosmetics will return in the future for expensive purchases.

    Season specific cosmetics are things like titles, scars, tattoos and small stuff like that

  • Bring back the arena items, only a few managed to play that content and you hardly see arena pirates anymore, some way to obtain them, hopefully through pvp

  • @chip-hazard8275 They have already said they won't bring back the Arena cosmetics. And more than "few" got them.

    @FlakeNBake01 Year one cosmetics are likely to never return as Rare has said they want to leave those exclusive to that Era.

  • I don't have a problem with standalone cosmetics that are time-limited to a specfic event not being re-released. I'm not quite as aggressive in this opinion as most gatekeeping "veteran" players who share theirs frequently on the forums, but I can see their point and concede things like the Launch Crew Eye of Reach or Captain Bones' Original Pirate Cutlass are and would remain time-limited. I can understand the sentiment that those were specific rewards tied to a specfic event or period.

    However I think that any full cosmetic sets (i.e. ship/weapons/clothing/equipment) where a small sub-section of items (usually the weapons and/or 3-5 ship or clothing parts) were time limited and the rest of the sets (equipment, vanity and capstan/wheel/cannon skins) were released later in the shops need to be re-released. It's unbearably stupid for people to gatekeep those items when the majority of the set can be purchased in shops still to this day. Even worse, the devs continue to develop new cosmetics for them (i.e. the Bone Crusher Captain's Chair, Table, Drapes, etc. or the new Wailing Barnacle pet outifts that are coming out THIS month).

    The missing pieces of the Forsaken Ashes, Bone Crusher, Wailing Barnacle and Mercenary sets need to be released into the stores. Lock them behind comms that were relevant to the period(s) or event(s) they were time-limited during if you must, but there's no logical reason to have 50-75% of a set still available for purchase in the game and not be able to own the FULL set simply beacuse you didn't know SoT existed back in 2019.

    I very much agree with this. I dont like some set items being totally exclusive, while the rest of the set is available. It just makes many sets feel incomplete. The half bone crusher set just feels so strange to me, and having all athena items except weapons just makes no sense. Like i get they added a new "reskin" set for those items to let players "complete" the set. But no one in their right mind can say that mostly vibrant emerald green items fit a set thats mostly purple with very little green in it.

    Partial sets just bother me for what ever reason, and there is an unusual amount of people who like to gate keep for sure. Just look at the legend curse, it was expressly stated to return before seasons even started, and when people saw and got it, they begged for rare to not re-releas it because they wanted one of the most requested and best cosmetics to be exclusive to them. And for no reason other than they wanted to flaunt or brag about it to people who didnt get it.

  • @flakenbake01 not this again. TLDNR. If you weren't there you missed out. Look forward not back.

  • I feel like event time limited items should comeback per account. If i did the event but did not know or have dabloons to buy it. It should stay available for them.
