so thats over 6 months now of no ledgers to work on for trade companies..... at least we do have a guild ledger... but what the heck i thought no longer making new insider rewards was to allow the art team to work on other stuff.... yet they are pretty much only working on emporium cosmetics which even those half the time now are just recolors
another season with no emissary ledger rewards for trade companies? whats going on?
Well they did finally complete the base cosmetics, so what’s left is the new weapons and captaincy items.
They may decide not to add captaincy rewards to the ledger, which only leaves the new weapons to work on.
We can’t really know what is going on behind the scenes. They say the emporium team is a separate team than the outpost team. I would assume the outpost team was put on the projects of the new cosmetics we just got for season 13, but also they are probably working on the looks and cosmetics for the stuff coming in season 14.
They now have 12 months worth of rewards you can obtain with the ledgers. Maybe they just figured that's enough, if they figure new players should be able to unlock all of them. If the game runs for 4 more years, a new player joining now would have to be active 3 months a year to get everything, which will increase the later they join.

This is my thought and I for one appreciate the break lol. Let Playstation newbies catch up a little bit.
I think it's telling that they're continuing to create rewards for the Guild emissary ledger but no longer the individual companies.
Simply due to ease of convenience more people tend to run Guild emissary since it's a one-stop sell with seven different turn-in points scattered around the map (which is why it edges out Reaper emissary even though the overall payout is lower).
They completed the standard set of ship/weapons/equipment cosmetics and if you look at the lvl 100 costumes for the three main companies it's obvious those were meant for and are a better aesthetic match for the Tribute Peak, Merchant Ambassador and Relic of Darkness sets than for the standard cosmetics sets you unlock through trading company progression and purchase from the reps. Obviously the lvl 100 costume for the Reapers is tied more to hourglass than the Masked Reenegade set and I don't think it makes sense to anyone why the Athena's emissary set is just a white and gold re-skin of the two Ghost sets...but I digress.
Yeah, we could use the two new weapons skins and I wouldn't complain about captaincy ship decorations either, but it DOES make sense that they paused the reward tracks after a full year's worth for new players to catch up on and it also coincides with a noticed reduction in the use of the other main companies' emissary flags when not specifcally trying to level them up.
Game is way better without ledgers imo.
The ledger rewards are awesome, some of the best in the game but imo the ledgers aren't good for two main reasons.
-
They are stressful to people, not everyone plays all the time and it's a lot of activity that is required for most players. The people that give feedback often in a situation where they play a lot and/or are connected with crews and networks/cliques or they cheese a lot (in recent seasons we have seen how much of this is happening in SoT). It's not fair play to have players in the organic style trying to compete in any ledger/ladder system with what goes on in SoT
-
People are cheating. The athena shipwreck thing, season 11 stuff. Seasons 13 showing it more clear than ever before. The cheesing has turned to cheating and the extreme has turned to the ultra extreme. Ledgers always show the discouraging stuff and it only really shows the non-legit activity and the non-organic activity. Duping has a strong presence in SoT now and has in multiple seasons.
The rewards should carry on through events imo. Ledgers haven't been good for this game in a long time imo.
In no way is organic play represented or supported in the ledger system (in any game really) but especially in SoT. Even if/when activity is removed from the ledger for proven wrongdoing it's still full of coordinated alliance server activity, exploits that haven't been patched yet, exploits they don't know about yet. It's just not fair play to have people competing for a spot.

@thegrimpreacher the sets aren't finished I'm still missing the watch for masked renegade set and I'm assuming the other companies are all missing at least one item aswell in that case
@rotten-rocko the watch was released and if you’ve completed all ledger rewards for reaper you should have it. If you have completed all rewards and don’t see it in your chest by Monday, submit a bug report.
Here is the list of all the rewards added so far https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/wiki/Emissary_Ledger#Rewards
I have all of the items except the newest guild reward, since that will not be awarded until September 1st.@abjectarity oh damn they added that sneakily I didn't see it any where, I'll have to double check when I next get on
4 de 11
