Is the community day grade increasing or not?

    Rare has been unusually quiet about the current community day grade. As I understand it, each time a pop up plunder appeared meant that the grade has gone up one level. There has been more than 1 pop up plunder introduced in the servers. I also noticed by the picture walls there is a tier 1 emissary flag. Does that mean it’s the current grade? If so, why has there been multiple pop up plunder?

    I also feel like the 5th twitch drop won’t happen because the number of people watching twitch has gone down since this morning. I can only hope that the other games loose interest without the sea of thieves loosing more viewers

    @coffeelight5545 what do you mean quiet, it’s at grade 4 just now cause it’s based on a different metric. Calm down.

    So far community day has been terrible waste of time server issues, black screen, getting kicked glitches and so on probably should just make next weekend community day also since the servers are terrible atm

    All working fine, we are at 4 now, shame we did not reach 5 today. Make sure to tune in to twitch partners to contribute.

    I don't get a lot of firsts anymore but today was the first time I spent 5 minutes of time (start to finish) getting an ashen athena at booty isle

    and had an hour long battle over a tall tale island where the athena was delayed the entire time anyway

    that pop up plunder thing is pretty cool, even with the issues I thought it felt fresh.

    I dunno what will happen with grade 5 or whatever is going on with that but I thought it was a nice day even through the issues.

    I'm not too big on mixing the socials with in-game but I thought this was pretty cool, a stream running in the background, twitter page up for maps, worked pretty well as a design for community day imo.

    Normally Rare tweets when the grade increases. At least that’s what they have done in the past. I’m not upset, I’m just asking because sometimes people can find out information that I can’t

    A solo and I arrived at the same time

    we both end up with no boats and have a 20 minute 1 life standoff while the chest is still buried, running all around the island trying to survive each other and the pve spawns

    eventually I just leave so they can have it, in case it was their first and I was just gonna invite them to sell it anyway

    fun community day imo, I enjoyed it

    I'm not sure how the pop-up treasure worked exactly and it's forcing me to go into wild parts of the internet I left and never wanted to go back to BEFORE the muskrat got involved. Maybe turn down the twitch requirements too.

    not a fan of this Community Event's mechanics.

    yeah it's not for everyone, for sure

    I always just make the best out of it and then I think about everything overall

    I feel like Rare regularly improves how they try things over time on a lot of things, including these community days.

    Twitch and twitter and that sort of stuff is just always gonna be a part of this game so I just go into it trying to find the silver lining of it all.

    I personally don't like that they just flooded the game with boxes of secrets but it is what it is.

    just my opinion but I think overall and all things considered they did well. This pop up plunder thing has a lot of potential imo.

    Got me a Box of Wondrous Secrets on the first pop-up and stole an unfortunate soul's Veil quest, pretty happy so far :D

    Alas. Is what it is. I hope the box of wondrous secrets continues to spawn. I won't see it still lol.

    Got me a box of wondrous secrets, server hopped quickly until I got a Sanctuary Spawn, sailed down quickly, used the island cannon to get across to dig, back on the ship to get to Morrows (didn’t know I could sell at Reapers). Met some kids who I allianced with, didn’t tell them I had the chest on board, sold it, listened to their reactions when it flashed up on screen with the amount of gold. Worth every moment!

    I thought they worked like reaper chests and didn't share with alliances.

    but I've never sold on in an alliance so maybe it does

    Since we are grade 5, how does one unlock the obsidian rug and crest?

    @wolfmanbush nope, kids were like omg 30k and they saw the banner come up saying it had been sold ^^

    I used a marked athena I dug up at shipwreck to distract a duo of sweaty mcsweatertons on an HG ship so I could kill a meg instead.

    pop up plunder with the good loot is a hit imo

    more interesting pvp scenarios than I have seen in a long time

    We need to get the sea of thieves in the top 10 most watched channels on twitch. I have checked and the closest we have gotten is top 13. Twitch was least busy at night so we need the ENTIRE community to leave their computers on and watch twitch at night.

    Unfortunately, I don’t see us getting sea of thieves in the top 10
