Safer seas restricted content feedback

    Greetings!

    I am fairly new to the game and purchased sea of thieves for the safer seas update to play with my wife hassle free,

    While it’s fairly bare of content I have enjoyed my limited time I’ve had with it.

    However after learning a lot of the content has been stripped out to try and push players towards the pvp content
    ( never gonna happen ) can I kindly suggest when you initially create a pirate you are able to choose wether or not your progressions counts towards the multiplayer. And if not, let players experience the full content with 100% rates. I’m currently in a situation where I’m literally never going to explore the pvp servers but have been artificially limited content and even cosmetics wise an am not incentivised to play the game long term, and I’m sure some people would even eventually engage with the store especially with kids.

    Once you complete the tall tales the only thing left to do is grind, and honestly that’s great and I don’t mind. But once a new player learns he’s getting a 30% rate and most of the games rewards, factions, and events are locked to him it’s really Annoying.

    Players who enjoy pvp and simply want to complete the tall tales should be able to do so with the system in place now

    But a lot of people that purchased two copy’s to experience the pve aspect with their partner or kids, should also have the option to do so fully when purchasing the game at full price.

    Yes I get that it’s A PVP game, but there’s no harm allowing players to migrate characters or opt out during character creation to experience the full game. When they are never going to play pvp anyway so I don’t get why players can’t earn those rewards as long as they can’t carry them over to pvp by initial choice.

    Thanks!

    A bunch of games restrict access to content on easy or private settings.

    @memepatrol8351 Safer Seas is meant to be an introduction/chill area for players to the game, NOT a permanent safe space. If you choose to use it that way however, you’re rightly being penalised for it.

    It's not a penalty. Your doing less for less reward.

    People that are going on about rewards a day into safer seas, it's because they are high seas players that gotta just come to terms with sinking being a part of playing this video game lol.

    The people that are truly safer seas players are loving pirate life because the entire point was to avoid pvp, not to cheese rewards.

    Once someone accepts the sink and abandons the sot ego it's pretty chill on high seas.

    I sunk like 8 minutes ago while making a grilled cheese sandwich. Totally worth it.

    The game design and intent for Sea of Thieves is a shared world adventure, and it always will be. Those who wish to play in the confines of Safer Seas will always have the option but we will not bring the rewards and activities in line with those of High Seas when many of the restrictions are in place due to the risk vs reward factor that is inherent in Sea of Thieves - removing any risk means rewards must be balanced accordingly.

    Safer Seas will act not only as a safe space for our Tall Tale players but also for families with children who just want to pirate, for people who want to play the game but learn the ropes and it will organically feed into Adventure mode, keeping the player pool there healthy and upskilled as they've learned the mechanics.

    This is not only useful for new players but families, players with accessibility needs - the whole game suddenly become available in a way it hasn't before, letting them naturally progress to High Seas and being a Pirate Legend. SoT has grown a huge amount in 5 years and it can be fairly overwhelming.

    The borders put in Safer Seas mean that to experience the full depth and breadth of the game you will have to hit the high seas BUT if you're playing with your family you don't have to, you can just enjoy the game and have fun as a family.

    These are the intentions for Safer Seas and why things are as they are. (And are a final decision.) As such we will go ahead and drop anchor on this here. Fair winds.
