If we don't get the roadmap by Saturday, I'm moving into the "really?" camp. We kinda need something to quell the reservations of some and quiet the few extremely vocal ones that won't stop about how "the game sucks and is already dead."
Roadmap this week?
@captainsloopdog said in Roadmap this week?:
Yar! I have found it! The dreaded developer roadmap of woe ... Fest yer eyes on the impossible treasure we seek ...
Were we supposed to laugh?
@blam320 - Awwww. Someone needs to drink more grog and loosen up a little.
If we can't poke fun at the fact that we are on pins and needles waiting for them to deliver something to us ... then what can we do.
But, I'm glad you didn't disappoint me in restoring my faith that there is always someone out there willing to p**s over everything.

I'd do that if I were inclined to use the discord to find a half-competent crew.
Right now I'm waiting on some other friends to get the game.
@blam320 - Perhaps instead of being salty ... you could win competent crew over to you with your sparkling personality?

Curious to know what you all are expecting from this “roadmap”
Honestly - anything.
Just some semblance of acknowledgement that the community is a bit frustrated and they are working on it. Just say -
We are currently working on the following new features: X, Y and Z. We are looking at your feedback and adjusting some of what we are doing and know that you want us to rush this out. We want it in your hands and are working around the clock to get you stuff like our job depends on it (cause it does). We are targeting to have some new features and content out the door by the middle of next month. Pirate on!
I know when I was a PM, that's the type of delivery I would give my client (and we are their client).
- Here is what we have done.
- Here is what we are working on.
- Here is when it should be complete.
Simple.
Wouldn't it be funny if Rare actually already left a trail of clues on the forum using several different accounts leading to the location of the roadmap but none of us is a good enough pirate to figure it out
Enjoy your weekend every and don't stress out over a roadmap, nothing on it will be implemented for another month or two.

”Uh oh. Our top white knight is about to jump ship! Quick come up with something! Anything! Uhhh...tell them there’s gonna be a new enemy or something...or maybe, a new vendor! Yes, a new vendor...where you can fetch, uhhhh...golden...golden bananas? No, golden shrimp! Yes, we’ll add some shrimp to the sea! Good enough, just release it so they can all shut up”
- current discussion at Rare offices@vipeness It just keeps loading for me, but it's definitely doing something. Which means there must be something there :O

Is this it? https://seaofthieves.com/content/
I keep getting an error message/page.
"This Site can't be reached"
Joe Neate runs out with the papers labeled “Content Roadmap” detailing the brilliant shrimp idea when he accidentally slips on a banana. Coffee is spilled all over them.
Craig: “Joe what have you done! Our roadmap! Our genius roadmap is ruined! We’re finished! I can’t take much more of this! Don’t you realize they’re all going to come here with pitchforks and put me in the pillory? I’m ruined!”
Joe: “C...calm down. We’ll leave them on top of my cubical to dry. It shouldn’t take that long. It should be dry by Friday! That way they can’t say we missed the deadline”They collect themselves and begin to neatly hang each piece of paper on top of Joe’s cubicle to dry. There seems to be ten pages to this roadmap. The first nine are labeled “Microtransaction Pets!” and the last page has a mere one paragraph labeled “New Vendor: Shrimp?”
To Be Continued
Friday rolls around
Craig: “Joe! Are the papers dry yet?”
Joe: “Let’s go see.”They inspect each hung piece of paper carefully and find that they have indeed dried
Craig: “Joe! Get the community manager to update our page! Hurry! Tell him the new url will be Seaofthieves.com/content”
Joe: “Damien! Put this url up real quick! Here are the papers for the new content road-”
Joe is stunned as he walks into Damien’s office and sees Damien choking on a banana. Joe goes into panick mode and calls Craig for help. Craig runs into Damien’s office and they both struggle to give Damien the heimlichJoe: “Craig not like that! On the sternum! On the sternum!”
Craig: “I don’t know what the hell I’m doing! This is harder than Legendary Skeletons!”
As they struggle with Damien, Joe manages to trip over a stack of papers and collides with Damien’s computer. The computer crashes on to the floor and shatters. Craig somehow manages to free the banana lodged in Damien’s throat and the momentum propels him backwards as he too trips over a stack of papers. The roadmap flies from Craig’s hands as he crashes on the floor and is scattered with the never ending piles of paper on Damien’s floor. All three of them scramble to find all the pages of the roadmap@nonak323 said in Roadmap this week?:

Alright...I've been critical on them, but I admit that they do have good ideas. It's a shame this wasn't all at release though. However, it does seem that they never found that Shrimp Vendor page...guess it's forever lost.

- current discussion at Rare officesDon't flatter me. You're one of the ones I refer to.
But holy C**P that update! I was expecting something big but if our first few are going to be this huge?
New ship type right off the bat and a brand-new world boss?
I'm more than satisfied. This is super exciting!

I'm guessing Cursed Sails will involve the Flying Dutchman or something of the sort. Should be good.@jingleberry69 said in Roadmap this week?:

Oh yeah for sure, I meant the AI threat could be something like the Flying Dutchman emerging from depths.

That would be awesome. It'd definitely trigger some nostalgia for PotCO, though Disney dropped the ball on not including the Flying Dutchman, or the Kraken in that game.

I've heard they already have a 3-person ship completed. Called something silly - not one of the ships I would have assumed they would do. Could just be rumor, but I heard it was complete and being tested.
I'd prefer a Brigantine. :S

Brig would be nice. What letter did the ship start with?
@roastincoffee New games like Deep Rock Galactic, Fortnite, Vermintide and games like Warframe, they are in constant update-communication cycle.
Yesterday Fortnite went down for one hour and the Devs were tweeting "We think we know what is wrong!" hang in there!, type of messages every half hour or so, it gives the feeling that they are in touch with the community, the one blog post a week especially with games as a service mmo-lite type is not going to work here, they need to be more active.
@r3b3lspy To be fair, the deep rock galactic devs are fricking awesome and not controlled by the evil corporation known as Microsoft.

Not to mention they aren't trying to make compromises so a parent company can use it to promote a dying platform.
