This game should be more like Baldurs Gate.

@guildar9194 As long as Sea of Thieves remains like its self, people will continue calling it empty and a majority will leave it. If this is what you want, fine. I personally prefer an exploration game worth exploring. And I know for a fact it would be less "empty", making it better and having people stay around more.

If you want Sea of Thieves to be like Baldur’s Gate, go play Baldur’s Gate and ask them on their forums for the game to be like Sea of Thieves.

@tesiccl In the meanwhile Sea of Thieves will remain boring to 95% of its players and decent for a little while for the remaining 5%, never even coming close to greatness.

@guildar9194 " No evidence to back up 95%" Look at concurrent player rate on the charts. Look at the numbers at launch. Thats all.

Also any common person my age I ask about SoT in real life, if they tried it, says they tried it but couldn't get into it. And I've asked a lot.

A number you made up.

Steam numbers don’t count for anything when it’s lowest percentage of the playerbase. Nice try.

Also I love the idea that making your game like someone else’s is miraculously going to get the “95% that find this game boring” to suddenly not be bored. I don’t think I’ve read something more moronic in all my time here.

@guildar9194 Enjoy ur unfonished and empty game remaining as so until it is obsolete.

I played 2k hours of it so I know what I'm talking about.

I'm just doing my best in helping it become great. But all those like u will stop that at all cost.

These forums can't even support my idea of simply adding text logs like all games have. This is an endless hole where good ideas get drowned out by the irrational criticism. Like any internet forum.

@wolfmanbush A fun kids movie with dark and scary secrets like charlie chocolate factory or Home Alone vs an ok kids movie nobody remembers.

@guildar9194 I don't mind my ideas being critiqued when the critique is correct. If its wrong I judge and feel better when knowing people are generally wrong.

Also I can tank bad critique from a thread of less than wise or considerate attitudes if it means I try me best to help the game with actual good advice.

@tesiccl If you take no steps towards the right direction you never get closer to getting a majority of those who left to return.

I provide one step. And then we can do another little by little.

Steamcharts reflect the same attitude as xbox numbers. If 300k played concurrently at launch on steam and xbox was "higher" as u say so irrationally smugly, xbox numbers would be higher and higher numbers would leave.

Like I said earlier, if you want SoT to be like BG, go and play that and ask them for an ocean to sail around in.

Again, you have no data to back that up so your assumption has no basis in fact.

irrationally smugly

This made me laugh!

@tesiccl "Dont be like other games, play them then". All good games take from other successful games and use an unique twist.

Simply look at any battleground like games. DayZ, an at first Arma mod is the reason for all there games including Fortnite and CoD Warzone and Apex Legends.

Or how Minecraft inspires Valheim, Rust, Palworld, Breath of the Wild and other games in the survival genre.

Same way Baldurs Gate is exploration and should be inspiration for the "Exploring game" that is Sea of Thieves.

I'm nor a fact guy I'm a common sense guy that uses facts I know are facts but I can't trace back to any if them. I'm not Ben Shapiro, I'm just here to point out a glaring flaw in a game that you can figure out needs a solution for if you use common sense.

While we’re at it could we also add in some call of duty type missions and some fully automatic weapons, 95% of players leave the game because it’s not like call of duty 😂

While I’m all for adding more interactivity and exploration to the game. The way you presented this is terrible. Sea of thieves should not be like any other game. The main point of sea of thieves is interaction with other people and I believe they have done that well.

@wonderwaffle559 Every person I ask in Sea of Thieves say their friends quit the game long time ago. Or those with their friends I see ragequit the game in front of my eyes.

Very fun "player interaction".

If ur for adding exploration into the world, taking inspiration from an exploration game is literally the go to way to go.

Baldurs Gate is simply my way of explaining it this time. All my posts explain how you can benefit exploration in different way, with the same end point at the end: reward aimless exploration and don't gate it behind tell tales. And reward it more.

Enjoy ur unfonished and empty game remaining as so until it is obsolete.

Based on these alone, you’re not a fact guy or a common sense guy. You’re a troll.

@tesiccl
Your quotes are not from the same person - though they share the same forum picture :).

@lem0n-curry thank you!

I do agree that sea of thieves needs a different approach to how things are setup.
My perspective is, if every thing that is possible in the game, has an achievement and all you have to do to find out whats possible in the game is go to the start menu and lookup the achievements, then whats the point of exploring?

I also believe games need to evolve as much as a formula gives them success they can't stay the same forever so for me even if they were to radically change SOT i would welcome it.

Skyrim was fun but if you give me the same game 15 years later only with a different theme, then don't expect the same success.

@tesiccl Idc what u think of me, end of the day the fact remains the same: Sea of Thieves benefits from making aimless exploration significantly more worth it.
