Please , please add more content! I know it's a beta but adding npcs, customizations to players, items, specials weapons, ship customization, clan options, extreme weather such as hurricanes and water spouts. Different repair methods, quests that were not the same, larger ship? 6 man crew to me would be the ultimate! Every game i have played for some reason a grp of 6 is never possible always 4 and then we half to break up our grps and split channels in discord. This game would be a hit in that aspect.. even if there were dedicated 6 man servers or instances.. world bosses and hidden caves would be great adds. Finding hidden items would be neat as well. Pets!! Pets that give gold boosts or find or expose hidden paths or trails or gold (these should be supper rare and luck of the draw.. games could also be introduced.. they could be played in neutral areas or bars on a certain island.. u could also bet gold on these games .. i would love this! Creating a game within a game would be great add. Special titles would also be a plus. I love this game so far.. i need these adds to the game to keep me coming back for more. As of now, people will play for 2 weeks hard and then get bored .. with some of these additions to the game it will be substantially increased.
Please listen to the people and u will have a great game.. This game could possibly have all of this being introduced eventually. Maybe it will and maybe it won't but if content is not being added on launch, this will be a hard sell. I love it so far, just needs more! Keep up the good work and updates and this game will succeed.
Game additions that will keep you and I playing
@lgdubdub I moved this over to the Sea of Thieves discussion board for ya as that was more appropriate :)
Good thing you did.
@LgDubDub can you reformat the text you made? Its hard for me to read properly without any mistakes.
@lenny2k3 this is is the reason i recommended that, they would have there own instance generated. So only say 6 player team/ships can play in that server/instance or 4 player/ship against 6 could be a option.
@lgdubdub
Splitting the playerbase more is risky, considering how there's already a potential for a crossplay split due to xbox babbies complaining about PC advantages.@lenny2k3 and pc losers (in regards to ship combat and my blunderbuss blowing their head off) cant just admit that a mouse and how easy and fast it is to aim in comparison to a joystick is night and day. Dosnt mean i cant sink your ship with my solo sloop. God forbid the people with the disadvantage want a fair game.... L**o
@lenny2k3 Ill slap youre mouse and keyboard with my controller all week long ;)
Twice the pride double the fall :P
@lenny2k3 to be clear i like the ability to play crossplay, i just want balance with it, thats a reasonable hope not me crying. Pc players cry way more about anything that is an attempt at balance like the eye of reach scope sensitivity, or cannon sensitivity. If pc players cant make compromises then yeah i want xbox only servers. Ideally compromises would be made.
@lenny2k3 Well I would say that it's a option.. Not splitting a player base. Maybe that is where they would just stick with 6 on 6? There will be plenty of 4vs2vs1! Not sure how they would go about that.. Just gives me another option in the game to play with more friends. They could for instance make it more difficult to repair a ship of that size for scaling purposes, harder to maneuver or make it a disadvantage for a 6 man pvp. Then the group could go against a 4 man or 2 man squad. Maybe a special weapon or harpoon, gatlingun style cannon upgrade for 2 and 4 man ships? Just ideas to throw around.
Are you guys seriously doing the Xbox Elitist, PC Elitist c**p? This is a great opportunity for everyone involved to help shape the future of console and PC gaming with cross-play functionality and you're all arguing semantics like a bunch of children. Instead, why not try to be positive about the benefits that cross-play brings, than arguing over mouse speed and controller pros.
@a-cranky-eskimo This, for me is a non issue. I really think cross platform is a god send.. i love that, this is a thing. It's the way of the future.. yes for fps or games like CS i can say this would be a issue.. this game is not 1 of them. I did not see any gain from xbox or pc.. i was killed by both in beta. I would also say people are using controllers for this game on pc.. That's my opinion!
I don't believe the dpi on my mouse will make this a huge issue.. I see this being posted in other sections of the forum. Maybe start a new thread and voice ur concern.@shadowstrider-7 not arguing, just not ignoring facts like this discussion in any way causes problems, except for pc players losing their advantage. Your post was an oximoron, in that you say be constructive but my "xbox elitist" post is actually more constructive towards their goal of a fair and balanced crossplay game.. let me ask, are you pc or xbox? Not that it really matters as long as we get balance right?
@lgdubdub i didnt start it on your post so im sorry, but anytime i see that bs on this forum im going to comment.
The "just be positive" line is c**p too, say someone get a promition over you for an unfair reason, or any other unfairness in life. All "just being positive" does is let that type of stuff continue to happen. The fact that rare can design everything about this world means we dont have to just be positive, we should just help them make a fair game. Anything other than an attempt at that is an excuse to me.
@a-cranky-eskimo I'm an Xbox user and switched to console three years ago from PC. As far as balance goes, I had zero issues with anyone I encountered. All my deaths were due to my mistakes and not someone's "advantage". May I ask what it is you specifically feel threatened by?
@shadowstrider-7 me wanting balance for this game dosnt equate to me being a threatened crying baby like everyone wants to insinuate. I have seen pc players do things in pvp that arent possible with controller, its not as game breaking as crossplay would be in overwatch or battlefield, but its still a huge advantage in target acquisition and general mobility, which helps with constant awareness too, we have all seen players in games like pubg able to clear two rooms at once etc. in this game where hours of gameplay can boil down to losing one battle, its pretty important..
@a-cranky-eskimo Np, that's fine.. I'm just bringing up some options, I believe that will help the game. Not really debating, the whole pc vs console issue. I think this game has boat loads of potential (pun) not intended. A long lasting game is what i want qnd Content needed will provide this. This all may come... fingers crossed it does. Adding to these idea's would help.

First off, I wasn't insinuating anything about you. If you're overly sensitive to criticism and debate, maybe forums aren't the place for you.
As for PC players having the advantage; I'd agree if this were a competitive shooter. It's not. The game as it stands, seems perfectly balanced in terms of cross-play. I could never detect a PC player, just as I'm sure they couldn't tell who was on Xbox. If anything, it would seem based on default settings, that PC players have a slight disadvantage when it comes to accessing equipment and maps using a keyboard versus a controller. Added to that the sensitivity they have when using cannons or the Eye of Reach, I'd say we're balanced.
It seems to me that the choices the DEVs made regarding functionality/sensitivity were to keep balance and not give an advantage.@lgdubdub i too would like to see more ways to play whether that is through different factions affecting gameplay, increased crew sizes, etc. unless they only think 50 people will be online at a time the "splitting playerbase" makes no sense to me. As far as we know there will only be 5 ships per server at thia point (likely more at launch but i doubt a substantial change) this means every server can be a little different based on how people change their matchmaking settings, and nobody will get split up to much as long as there arent to many options. If the game isnt going to be matchmade and have more persistent worlds that would change all of our feedback anyways. Its hard to say what they should do, all we can say here is direct feedback of the little we have seen, or what we hope to see. Hopefully things like a player economy and pirate guild/faction options exist etc. that would let a 6 man crew exist with balance in the same world. Maybe 2 players of the 6 are weaponless "VIP" merchants to mantian pvp balance. The sky is the limit for this game imo. Thats why i care so much about crossplay being done right.
@shadowstrider-7 well you were the 3rd person to say i was a baby or felt threatened... Idk how you cant tell pc players apart, they're the ones who spin like a top and rarely miss with their flintlocks shots or blunderbuss one shots, and can do things like aim precisely in mid air after jumping off a ladder, etc. though i agree the cap for cannons and the sniper scope that both have is a start and is for balancing. If anything having no control over weapon choice when pc players can click specific buttons is a huge advantage in close range combat. I dont see the point in dismissing these facts... yeah its not battlefield, or CS, so its not as constantly obvious a problem as it would be. But like i said you could spend hours getting treasure and lose it all in one battle. That makes it almost worse from a game design standpoint imo, for a game that is marketed based on inclusivity and balance for new players.

I never said anything. I asked what it was that you felt threatened about.
I was fortunate enough to be able to play both on PC and Xbox One during the Beta period and I didn't find either side had a distinct advantage. ADS is equally sluggish on both sides, but the Eye of Reach and cannons are definitely slower on PC and for obvious reasons. As far as being able to turn faster on PC than console; All you need to do is max your sensitivity and increase your FOV. I moved equally as fast on console as I did during my testing on PC. In regards to close-range combat; I had zero issues, as I won about 90%+ of my fights. While most everyone else tried Blunderbuss spam, I fought with a sword and for the most part, was victorious. This game is balanced. The only thing unblanaced is player skill levels. You can't blame PC players for your skill, or lack thereof and vice-versa.

Well the cannon and eye of reach are the same for both... it just feels slower because of the drastic differenc when they lose the advantage they have, which dosnt feel like that on xbox (empircal evidence of an advantage) and this discussion isnt about skill, but ill gladly and likely easily sink you whether your on pc or not, if you really cant tell the difference between the two... skill does supercede this advantage to some degree, and i am arguing for balance for xbox players as a whole not so much for myself. You know doing the right thing regardless of whether it directly affects you...
Even if i played pc, if i also cared about the future of this game id
be saying the same things.And i didnt take anything that personal about the "threatened" or baby comments, but they are as useless for this discussion as the "just be positive" excuse.
@a-cranky-eskimo With the way you've conducted yourself in this thread, I now understand other's comments towards you. You should really be ashamed of your behavior, even more so that you're a Pioneer. Also, I'm still waiting on an answer regarding what it is you feel is such a huge disadvantage.
As I stated previously, the only inbalance I see is that of player skill level.@A-Cranky-Eskimo
I will never understand people that reply to a post, and start arguing about something completely different to what the original argument was. Top jej@a-cranky-eskimo said in Game additions that will keep you and I playing:

Learn to read shadow, ive conducted myself just fine, And lenny thats funny to say for the guy who brought xbox players up as an excuse against the OPs ideas, and you both act like i need to be positive about the game when i have actually responded to him with ideas of how his idea could work. You guys just shot him down or came here and complained about arguing other topics on peoples posts them commenced doing it yourself, but unlike my quote above which explains my point pretty clearly, you havent really made any point and just started saying i wasnt skilled or that your perception is that theres no issue so there mustnt be one. Omg the crying xbox baby said he would gladly sink you which is well within the pirate code rare has stated... im speaking on the topic of balance in the game and that tied into this discussion when people brought up splitting servers. Make any good point isntead of trolling me into making this personal or stop responding. And yeah im a pioneer who isnt ashamed to post this, i love this game and have put hundreds of hours into testing and a ton of posts on here giving feedback. I guess i still shouldnt have said i would sink you but its hilarious that you would devolve a discussion of balance into one of our personal skill, and then say i should be ashamed of myself for sticking up for myself....
@a-cranky-eskimo
@Lenny2k3 said xbox babbies (his typo, not mine) and you responded with "PC losers". How is that "conducting yourself just fine"? You're a Pioneer and after viewing your post count, you've been here a while and should know better. Your ignorance and assumptions are no excuse. Seeing as how this is just going to further hijack @Lgdubdub topic, I'm respectfully pulling out of this. I came in with sincerity and concern and was greeted with ignorance, arrogance and assumptions. You should be ashamed, honestly.@shadowstrider-7 yeah i said pc losers lol... after someone said xbox babies.. better lock me
Up in PC jail.... i thought i was the one who needed to avoid forums because im sensitive or wait should i be ashamed for being insensitive? Or did you just devolve the topic into this when lenny hadnt even responded yet, and then play victim after you realized you had no good points to respond with and just said some lame excuses about your perception of the balance and how i must not be skilled, hence my "disgraceful" responses where i simply said id gladly sink you, in this pirate game.I can requote my posts again if you like but clearly we all know theres a difference between M and K and controller, highly favoring a M and K if they dont balance the game.
And i actually responded on the topic of the OP and apologized, your attempt at making me a bad guy in this is absolutely hilarious.
"I came in with sincerity
And concern" no you came here and started talking down to everyone and then used your ignorance of crossplay imbalance and assumptions to make absolutely no good point. Yeah its positive to be positive, ignoring reality sure isnt though.@knifelife PC has faster reaction time my friend, also we can set hotkeys to different buttons, such as side mouse buttons for easier things to do. Such as on Fortnite u can set them to a build item which gives us an adamvantage against console players. I don't think this game with PC or Xbox will have a big advantage in my opinion, so the whole cross platform thing should stay as is.
@lilrevo69 But in all honesty, the Xbox players should have a tiny bit of Aim Assist, not to much, but not to little just in the middle
@lenny2k3 I have both and much prefer playing on Xbox find it pretty much the same on both. The only advantage is can load into game quicker on Xbox. To answer the original question of this thread NPC ships and a big town with port will keep me playing, and make the game more pirate☠

I feel like the eye of reach/spyglass sensitivity is intentional. it would make sense to kind of nerf sensitivity for PC players, plus, this isn't a twitch shooter. hit boxes are huge. and the combat is slow.
