In this video, a beta player highlights everything good about sea of thieves, highlights where the game is failing, and gives many many suggestions for the future of the game. Honestly, I think that if this video is looked at and at least SOME of the ideas are optimized, this game would be such a better experience.
for those of you who won’t watch the video, here’s a quick rundown:
0:00-2:28
-he talks about how the art and sailing mechanics are fantastic, and the best he’s ever seen in a game
2:28-3:50
-he talks about how the quests lack in variety, loot, and are very grind-y. he then gives suggestions as to how they can be made better.
3:57-4:21
-he talks about how there needs to be more diverse enemies, and how all of the current enemies are only skeletons.
4:33-7:00
-he gives some wonderful ideas for new quest types and such.
7:23-8:20
-he talks about how ships are really worth nothing if they just respawn after being sunk, and gives some really cool suggestions as to how to improve this.
8:22-10:50
-he talks about the customization, how the ship customization is only cosmetic and very lacking, and gives ideas for further functioning customization.
10:50-11:36
-he talks about a lack in variety in islands, sea shanties, and how the kraken fight is very bland.
11:37-12:54
-he talks about his fears for the pirate legend rank.
13:40-15:09
-he talks about how the ship spawning system is broken (which i believe was changed since the release of the video). he also mentions how the mermaid system is a bit broken as well.
15:11-16:00
-he just gives a bunch of overall suggestions for new content, and all of it sounds really really cool.
16:10-18:30
-he talks about how the pvp is lacking and needs to be improved, and how there’s no story. he then gives more suggestions as to how to improve this, and there’s some really amazing stuff mentioned here.
18-45-END
-he starts his conclusion here.
I post this out of love, love for this game, love for the potential; RARE, PLEASE TAKE THESE CONCEPTS AND IDEAS INTO CONSIDERATION.
