Sea of Thieves is a great game with a great concept. I bought the game expecting to have lots of fun with friends and etc.
I did, but it didn’t last long. It’s fun to do voyages, skelleton islands and etc, but not after you’ve done it time over time again.
I have no problem with grinding, and I would love to grind this game, but it’s one problem... there is no point.
Everytime you do a voyage you get gold, and gold can you use on cosmetics. That’s cool and all, but it dosen’t quite give the voyages a purpose. I’m getting bored of doing the same voyages over and over again, just to get to buy a skin.
This is an awesome game, but I really think you should add something that gives a player an advantage. I know Rare has stated that they will never add something that gives a player an advantage, but then what’s the point of the game?
I have some sugestions, for example;
-
new canons (heavy canons that shoot harder, light canons that shoot weaker)
-
new weapons (knifes, heavy swords, light swords, rifles, etc.)
-
new ship parts (reinforced hulls, big sails, small sails, etc.)
-
new anchors (automatic anchors, heave ancors, small anchors)
This game dosen’t have to be buy to win even though you improve the game. You could add new currencys like crafting materials or silver for example.
This game is such a fantastic game, and I would hate seing another game go down the drain because of poor updates and decision making by devs. No offense, but it’s true. Repeating voyages and events won’t cut it.
Please take this suggestion into consideration! Remember, this is only MY OPINION, and I respect others opinions aswell.
Edit: Having something else to spend your coins on does not have to include vertical progression.
