Listen up, pirates. We're sailing mythical seas, with mythological creatures, not paddling in a kiddie pool. The thrill of encountering and fighting legendary monsters like the Kraken and Megalodon should be like staring into death's eyes instead of treating them like an annoying mosquito and just a nuisance. I'd love to see some investment into the terror aspect of this game.
I want the Kraken to be a genuine nightmare. Imagine this behemoth creating monstrous waves, its roar echoing from the depths, feeling the reverberations though your ship while it shakes as if the ship itself was scared. Imagine the Kraken slamming your boat from below, lifting it into the sky on a tentacle, and tossing it around like a toy then letting it fall back to the water. Then you fall into the sea, look below and lock eyes with a massive, horrifying gaze in the depths of the sea. The kind of terror that should haunt your dreams.
And don't even get me started on Megalodon. This thing is supposed to be the ocean's ultimate killing machine, not something you can ignore while playing a musical instrument. You shouldn't have the guts to jump into the ocean with that thing there. It's supposed to be the most dangerous apex predator in history. It should instill terror on the player, a reminder of who really rules the sea.
The game’s been around for many years. I know people play Sea of Thieves for different reasons. Heck, some people get on just to fish and chill, while others constantly switch servers as reapers looking for trouble and victims. However, I'd love to fear the "unknown" again, like the first time you accidentally sailed into The Red Sea and nearly wet your pants as everything went to hell. That raw fear, that adrenaline rush—it's what makes adventuring into the sea so enjoyable. Similar to the feeling of people who climb the Mount Everest. Finding treasures, making gold, PvPing and the glory if sinking another player is cool and all, but I'd love to see more threats that even veteran players should have to respect and strategize against instead of yawning.
Rare, please, make these encounters worth the risk, increase the stakes. Give us scales, bones, anything that we can sell as loot to make gold or materials to make unique cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves has immense potential to be a game that doesn’t just "features mythical creatures" but also makes you truly fear them. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people here, except maybe people with thalassophobia or "hardcore PvP fix my meta" players who don't care about other aspects of the game.
