Change Sovereign to accept all loot from everyone even if you're not using a captained ship

Don't wait until the end of the session selling items ?

You might have completed one less thing, but even on Safer Seas having loads of loot might impact the gameplay or you might have lost your ship and thus the loot because of a random keg or some PvE at the end because of getting tired or whatever reason.

Glad to hear you and your friend had fun, but IMHO there is already too much given to players in Safer Seas.

And this is where we ran into the only thing that really made my friend dislike the game. Selling all of our loot

Ah yes. It a chore but a fun chore

I hate to be these kids when the whole sovereign weren’t a thing and they had to sell by hand to every tent.
Spoiled kids.

@burnbacon it's not a fun chore. It's awful and tedious. Back when there was way less loot, it was tolerable. I can't imagine going back to the old way with the amount of loot you can easily amass these days.

Anyways, I'd be down for them allowing Sovereign use for non-captained ships if there was a service fee or something. Like they charge 20% gold/rep or something like that.

@lem0n-curry this would apply to both high seas and safer seas, it's not something that would be exclusive to safer seas. I'm saying that selling loot manually is outdated and shouldn't be a thing at all anymore and EVERYONE regardless of playing in safer seas or high seas should be able to sell their loot to the sovereign even if they're not using a captained ship.

@wolfmanbush same thing I just told the other person, this isn't something that would apply exclusively to safer seas. This would apply to both high seas and safer seas. I'm saying that selling loot manually is outdated and awful and EVERYONE regardless of playing in high seas or safer seas should be able to sell their loot to the sovereign even if they're not using a captained ship.

@sweetsandman

I still use the old methods from time to time. Makes the risk worth it when a ship is closing in. The thrill.

I be happy if they did this, they make it so: If you choose to do so, you lose half the profit much like Hunters call. Want full profit? Sell to the tents :D

This just benefits the kids who rush to sell without owning a captain ship or as they said Captain leaves.
What the point of captain ships now? Trinkets? Pff.

As most ships on the High Seas will be captained ships, this will impact High Seas not that much (only for newer players who are not sailing on captained ships or where the captain left and there is no guild member on the ship), this is basically just a request for more features on Safer Seas and taking away a feature from captaincy.

@m1ke-da-1ke
I only don't understand one thing... (because everything else is crystal clear) - why are you people bringing up medical conditions, almost exclusively in cases when you know there is a high chance something won't be given to you? There are many players that have bad health conditions, yet they never ask for freebies/special treatment.

Oh, and btw, on top of that - nice made up story, that nobody bought.

Just say openly you're asking for adding Sovereigns on SS without any friend involved whatsoever, so that mods can lock this thread up, and we can move on. xD

@lem0n-curry new players shouldn't have to go through the painful process of selling manually, selling loot to the sovereign should not be exclusive to captained ships.

@r3vanns my story isn't made up, I have a friend who has severe epilepsy and they do in fact have seizures if their heart rate gets too high (which happens anytime they get stressed out from something like PvP)

We did in fact actually play Safer Seas and do all of the stuff that I put in my post. If you don't believe me then that's on you.

But it did happen and I shared their comments that they made to me in my post.

As for the medical condition I brought it up because of the fact that it's something they struggle with and have all their life and I felt it was relevant information.

At the end of the day the point of my post is manually selling loot in high seas or safer seas is extremely frustrating and annoying and selling loot to the sovereign in my opinion is something that shouldn't be exclusive to captained ships.

Especially for new players who don't have the money to buy a captained ship yet and are just beginning. They shouldn't be forced to be at a MASSIVE disadvantage having to sell all of their loot manually instead of selling it all to the sovereign like everyone else does.

If Rare actually wants new players to actually stick with this game and keep playing it and not leave after only playing a few times this would absolutely make a MASSIVE difference in that and would definitely help A LOT in retaining new players.

@th3-tater their condition isn't something that the accessibility settings can solve. My friend has severe epilepsy and if their heart rate gets too high they can and will have a seizure. Playing PvP is typically very stressful and raises both heart rate and blood pressure and my friend has tried playing PvP games in the past and it always caused them to have a seizure and because of this they simply don't touch any PvP anymore.

@th3-tater

There's an accessibility option under tickets for that...

Xcept, this ain't a support, but a forum. Not a case, but a feedback channel.

Bringing up medical difficulties in gameplay/feature change request, which got nothing to do with actual accessibility, should have no place in feedback in the first place. It just comes off as ingenuine, or plain pity farming.

Admittedly, that may be only how I perceive such posts.

@M1KE-DA-1KE

My heart is just breaking for them. And yes, they should. As millions of players did before. And by "millions" I'm not implying the number is important. What's important is that they all had to earn it.

Safer seas wasn't introduced so ppl can speed farm gold. That's the first thing all of you who actively ask for restriction removals need to understand.

And to further clarify - I don't even mind the asking itself. But when people feel entitled while doing so.

@r3vanns yeah you've got it all wrong and I fully disagree with you. In my opinion selling loot manually is outdated and shouldn't be forced upon anyone, especially new players. Especially if you actually want this game to retain new players and not have them uninstall within a week of installing and playing this game.

As for the things said about my disabled friend their disability has nothing to do with my point. My point is that selling loot manually is awful and outdated and should become a thing of the past. Their medical condition has nothing to do with it and the fact that so many people keep focusing on it instead of the actual point of my post makes it clear that y'all are just poking at anything you can to try and get to me for no reason. Seriously leave my friend and their disability out of this because it has nothing to do with my point and was just a part of my post that I put there simply as context and nothing else.

As for the actual point of my post selling loot manually is outdated and should no longer be a thing in this game for anyone. It's not for farming safer seas or anything like that either because I can do that all the same with or without this change. It's actually more for high seas than it is for safer seas because new players in high seas being forced to sell manually because they don't have a captained ship yet is extremely awful and puts new players at a MASSIVE disadvantage compared to anyone with a captained ship.

If Rare wants new players to actually stick around and keep playing this game and not uninstall within a week this would definitely be a huge step in the right direction for player retention.

@M1KE-DA-1KE
The only community you're doomglooming about are pure PvE players that would exclusively play on SS. Because EVERYBODY else new in HS has captained ships and access to Sovereigns after a day of playtime. Your arguments are first and foremost falling flat there.

Second thing - the community you're referring to is not majority of players, but actually the far side of it (same as pure PvP players), and game is still alive, and will be. With our without them.

SoT might be having problems with retention, but lack of Sovereigns in SS definitely isn't one. No matter how much you're pretending this isn't a SS request.

The price for the sovereign's convenience, is being a captain. It costs 250k to buy your own sloop, and that much gold can be amassed in an hour or less.

I get it - handing in that much loot is a drag (veterans know this all too well, since we didn't have that convenience early on), but PvP, love it or hate it, is a core part of Sea of Thieves, and you'll need to sail on High Seas and face the risks if you want all the bells and whistles.

Safer Seas is great for exactly the scenario you described above; sailing with your buddies and having a blast, but a PvP free zone of free loot gathering comes at a price, friend.

@m1ke-da-1ke You mean like every veteran player, pre-captaincy had to? When we had massive loot hauls, we had to hand turn-in every piece of loot, to every company tent and usually while being chased by other players - that was part of the thrill, and made selling the loot that much more valuable.

You want convenience and access to more lucrative sell options? Buy your own ship, and play High Seas, like everyone else did. I really wish this new player entitlement would stop..

@ghutar

@R3vanNS it's quite hard to recipe it diffrienty.
Also love therm "pity farming" allwas imagine it as some medieval peasant diging up sad-faced turnips.

I'd def rather have sad-faced turnips for farming in SoT than what was suggested. I might've even upvoted him xD
