Bandwidth Suggestion for Non-Pioneers

  • Hey everyone

    I thought id just make a suggestion to all of those that are not in the Pioneer program to turn off Automatic App updates on pc and or Xbox.

    As they roll out session for the pioneers it has been downloading the game again and again... and using unnecessary data usage for no reason. So if you have not got the data usage or bandwidth Turn it off asap =)

    And if there is a announcement of another beta session before the release just turn it back on.

    El Capitan

    MrBrojangles87/Jangles87

    Also if i change my gamertag will i lose access to my founder status or beta/alpha? or my pre order bonus?

  • Good thing to tell the NON-Pioneers

    And please do ask that in a support ticket to Rare.

    They might know a better answer to that gamertag issue.

  • damn, nice catch, just checked and mine is half way through a download rn. didnt even know. thanks

  • but... but maybe if I keep my game updated they'll see I really want to play and add me to the pioneer program. ;)

    Hey... a pirate can dream, alright?

    I don't think they search new pioneers.
    since all or most of the pioneers are already been selected into the alpha stage of the game.

    and I also dream :o

  • @mrbrojangles87 Did you ever get an answer to the question of changing your gamer tag? I’m thinking of doing mine prelaunch, would be very helpful to know the answer. Thanks in advance.

    Taken from some official information

    How do you select Pioneers?
    The Pioneers are some of our most active and engaged players. We select them using a combination of survey feedback, play session time and other engagement metrics.

    'We will be cycling out players who do not regularly participate or provide feedback.'

    So if they are 'cycling out' those who don't participate etc, then they have to be replaced with someone ;)
    Keep active & helpful on the forum, club etc & you never know, you're dreams may just come true!

  • Why are you using a click bait Title for your threat?
    That's so annoying.

  • @univalvewolf976
    I'd hardly call it click bait, & it definitely isn't a threat ;)
    It's actually very good, helpful information for those on limited bandwidth & who aren't pioneers!

  • So why are you not mentioned that in your Thread so everybody knows if it's interesting for them or not.
    You just pull an uninformative format for your Title that just promises information what it can't hold.

  • @univalvewolf976
    I'm not the OP m8!
    I'm just saying, i don't consider his title click bait at all.
    It's actually quite a clever title because, well, this is something 'you may wish to do'!
    His information could save you upto 15gb a week on your downloads, so helping quite a few people out (yourself included if you choose to use it)
    OK if you want to be pedantic he could've been more informative but a title like - 'Insiders, Founders, Non Pioneers who are on limited bandwidth you may want to do this to save up to 15gb a week off your download limit' seems to be a bit much & isn't quite as 'catchy' ;)

  • @mrbrojangles87
    No you won't I changed my gamertag and still got my founder and insider status.

    It's just a name. These things are linked to your account.
    edit:
    @SnowEffiGy adding you in the response so you now know as well ;)

  • Good advice, and changing your gamertag shouldn't impact your access to the game.

  • Thhhanks fer th' information mate!

  • @jangles87 I’ve had an answer confirmed by a support ticket:

    “Changing your gamertag will not affect your 'Founder' status nor will it affect your Sea of Thieves experience in anyway.”

  • @snoweffigy thanks mate!! I've changed and all is good

  • As per request from @Jangles87 I've updated the title for the topic to be more direct.

  • @jangles87 You’re very welcome. Enjoy the new GT. Fair seas and following winds to you!
