Is this about locking Briggsy in the Brig on a Brigatine?
she deserves it ngl lol
Obviously 😂
😂😂
I'm at that point where I keep playing just to see the storyline progress, but it's just random stuff that leads to nowhere. New enemies appearing, they vanish for months, they come back, they vanish for months.... and the only character we want is yet to be seen since the game started. 😢
Is it flameheart, or The guy who lives upstairs in the tavern?
@@captainshelf7 The Cap'n is the man in the tavern. He broke the stairs because drunken pirates kept puking on him while he was sleeping.
@@captainshelf7the original mysterious stranger
I remember how excited folks got for ever update when they were re-building golden sands. It was like a mini treasure hunt every time there was a hotfix or update.
2:35 literal internal screaming at the realization that it truly has been 11 months since the last actual plotpoint for SoT (Monkey Island not counting).
Fun fact about briggsy: she got her name because she could always somehow manage to escape from brigs
never thought I'd see sot updates get worse but a year later and we only got two updates all year and both were very small updates... amazing
Sea of Thieves story is like my years of multiple generations of gaming backlog. Never got round to them.
From my perspective, i feel that something was there to link Secret Wilds to Skull of Siren Song, but it was cut due to the delay of Dark Deception and Monkey Island episodes.
It would have been interesting to have the siren's song a secret thing instead of a publically announced game mode.
How would you feel about a totally new map? Like I'm not saying an additional map, I mean WoW cataclysm style, let's totally shakeup and redesign the map.
I think after so many years it just needs to be done. We can keep adding to this map but at some point we just need to clean slate it, and since sea of thieves two might to a little too much work, a new map that could then be imported into a sea of thieves two might be what the community needs to stay interested.
I agree with you, however I still think remaking the game into SoT2 would be a better option. Remaking the map now still leaves server stability issues down the line for when they fill up this new map. If they remade the game on a newer updated engine it would allow them to better optimize the game which in turn allows them to add more things like map expansions, more ships, more weapons, and basically anything else the community has been asking for since its original launch all the way back in 2018, almost six years ago. I like the idea of some cataclysm event occurring because it could help build hype back up for the game and give some level of suspense for what’s happening next, something like the end of Fortnite Chapter 1 (where it al gets destroyed and leads directly into Chapter 2) would be cool, maybe the shroud starts closing in until you have to sail directly through the portal at the center of the map, I’m not sure really but they really need some huge event or complete redesign of the game to draw players back into this game.
Having that sense of discovery and wonder back in the game would be amazing. With at least three storylines that have yet to see any kind of conclusion I think the developers would have plenty of content to bring the game if they focused on what their community wanted. Collaborations are great to increase the game's popularity, but pursuing those while their current audience is pleading for more game-centric story is a bit of a kick in the groin.
I can’t wait for this storyline to continue
Practically they just added a blue skull and chest and a random delivery spot. Longer players know every pixel of these seas and long to do more than 1 random quest they can repeat for several months. We need content that last longer than just the first week. Rare took off a very very long time just to attrackt more new players instead of caring for their older players that either want a lot of new content or new seas.
I agree the handlign of the story line Rare has consistently dropped the ball, all in the attempt to placat the player base instead of focusing on their story and telling it.
Here's my ten cents, the developers were really on top of the story last year and early this year. Yeah sure it sucked that the adventures were time limited but there was always discussion. What's going to happen with this ancient warrior we brought back? Can't wait to see Flameheart come back now that we fought for that to happen! Oh boy Briggsy's back and the dark bretheren are back in the story with her! I'm so excited to see where this goes! And then it sort of just... stopped. No follow ups on the ancient warrior or Flamehearts revival or as mentioned in the video the mess of Briggsy's storyline. A Pirates Life did such a great job at doing a crossover all while expanding the lore of Sea of Thieves and as a result myself and many others were excited to see what Monkey Island (an arguably more lore heavy IP they were crossing over with) would bring to the story of Sea of Thieves.
Was this ancient temple that Briggsy mentioned going to be the main target of Lechuck? Were we going to find Pendragon in the sea of the damned? Maybe Flameheart will return to fight Lechuck for the burning blade. The possibilites were endless, we spent hours in arguably the most lore important realm in the game for NOTHING. Lechuck was relegated to basically a knockoff Flameheart. The most lore relevant thing I could see from the Monkey Island tales was the fact we could see what the burning blade was capable of (kinda).
Only one character from the Sea of Thieves actually shows up in the tall tales and that's the pirate lord (whoop de doo) for a combined total of five minutes, Belle is briefly mentioned by name and that's it. All of our villains and major lore points are connected to the Sea of the Damned, we spend three very long tall tales within the Sea of the Damned and what do we see? NOTHING! Yeah sure it was faithful to Monkey Island but if I wanted solely Monkey Island why wouldn't I just go play that? So many loose ends they could've very easily tied together and yet nothing, and I can assure you this wasn't really a Disney issue, they were definetly more protective of Pirates of the Carribean and yet look at all the revelations that made it into that. These tales were a great Monkey Island game but a terrible Sea of Thieves game.
TLDR; They brought us to the Sea of the Damned (the focal point of every storyline right now) for three tall tales and did pretty much nothing with it.
@@MrMcGriddIe To be fair I see where you're coming from, I apologize if I made it look like I didn't like the Monkey Island tales, as someone who played through the first two games and Return I really truly did love the crossover. Although I feel as though a character or two more actually from the base game would have helped integrate the crossover into the world a bit more, but for all I know maybe they weren't allowed to.
am still curious about the need for the skull, if its to do with sirens, or if she was just after the red gem in its eye. would be interesting if the dark brethren or players roped into the temple adventure require a similar gem to the one in her mask used to see the secret stars o,,o specially since that ruby in the skull is broken up into a few chunks already.
I think the siren skull is the skull of the siren king because in the pirate life tall tales I’m pretty sure they talk about him being dead on the walls and it would be cool if they tied it in with that
I was Wondering why the Tomb of Sargares appeared in the beginning then lol.
I do believe the game would benefit greatly by continuing to focus on lore based content. This kinda content can bring together interactions just as effectively as World Event / PvP / Voyage content
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’ll NEVER happen
4:12 so has the gameplay
Real
100% agreeing on that, I have a bet running, what will come first, some conclusions to the SoT story, or some skeleton cosmetics.....I mean seriously, the guys a t rare could add some Briggsy style skeleton parts for the siren song thingy, she´s like the first skeleton lord we had to fight...............well I bet on the parts, just for laughs and giggles .......and 50 bucks -.-
Eleven long months so far and that is a long time to wait for something that is probably never going to be enough to make up for the story holes and dead ends. I feel like 90% of the hints were for the Monkey Melee Islands Monkey Thing. Sigh......
Are you (as a content creator) finding yourself fatigued at all by the delays to SOT production?
3:36 WHAT is that figurehead?? Been away for few months but damn that ones sick
Plot twist: Captain Falcore actually works as a Sea of Thieves Developer and make videos
i could be overthinking it but to me the symbol looks more like a mirror of the ashen symbol. perhaps they represent to aspects of a certain power or two opposing factions
Hard to get excited about anything when we are all still waiting for Flameheart to show up.
Talking about upcoming changes, we are supposed to get anti cheat sometimes soon... so you know, first thing we get is a PvP focused quest with no anti cheat. Also, prestiging guilds isn't a challenge like in old CoDs where you need to do crazy achievements... "Conquer Skeleton Forts, Sea Forts or Treasuries while sailing in a Guild of Distinction 9 or higher." Who does sea forts at prestige 9? PvE is grindathon in an unfun way. There are so many better ways to promote prestiging. Oh, and, hum, don't forget! Your love for SoT must be dwingling by now! - Sincerly, The Shrouded Ghost. P.S.: see you in the safer seas!
I do miss the story progressing. I loved Monkey Island, and thats probably why the story isnt moving, but between DeMarco, Brigsy, Hogarth, The Captain, and Flameheart, I’m really starting to wonder if they will ever actually finish a story. I love everything they add, but i just want… more. I want things to be tied up, not constantly built up and up and up and then what feels like completely forgotten.
Merriks story ending was great!
But Monkey Island was such a great lead to flameheart!!! *** Sarcasm intensifies ***
I've done the SoSS voyage with 5 kegs onboard and I was fine, it's really not a "competitive voyage" at all
I never asked to be first
Not first
This is great for anyone that gets this reference, good job Falcore.
Or cursed
It's nothing personal, I just really want to comment something here.
I have a strange suspicion that the monster in question will be either known as Charybdis or Scylla. The multiple heads sounds...odd.
We can only pray for an orb stream to distract us
Hope the next Festival of Giving stream gives us more content...
...if they ever do it again.
Who is the skull and why is it called the skull of the siren?
Rare! Priorities!
pre-seasons sot was the peak, now were just sliding down hill
I actually liked the idea of seasons back when they first began to come out, the SoT Plunder Pass is one of the best “battle pass” systems I’ve seen done, it’s simple and easy with no huge grind associated and most of the content within them is decent, but the recent lack of physical game content whether it be map changes, new enemies, new loot, or new lore and the constant delays of seasons ruined it permanently. They had their chance to really make it work and completely blew it.
Kind of sad to look at how the focus has shifted away from building subtle magic within the world to well... what it is now. We want more LORE! ALLL OF THE LORE!!!
Next big update.. Hotdog stand with buffing sausages
I was always excited for the future of the game and what it was gonna be like wheh they got revealed. But a lot of story lines still haven't been revealed...
Was there any progression in the story using the most recent Comic that was released?
I do agree with you that I miss the discovery part of this game and there has been too much concern about changing the way the game is played to make it easier for new players...
Story based content got put on hold because they needed to modify adventures to be replayable cause y’all wanted that
Wait… what if those weird gates aren’t teleporters… what if they are the ancients way of getting to the sea of the damned?
were still waiting for flameheart to be reborn, Lechuck should've won but clearly they have some other way to bring him back.
Call me hopeful but I have a feeling they’re saving some meaty story beats for 2024.
Personally, the only way there will be any real progress in the story is for Rare to FINALLY wrap up the over 30 unfinished story beats in the game thus far!
@@_fire_fox_1152 this is factual
Not at all, they're just working really hard to redesign the game's 'voyages' system. No more quests to buy, everything will be done from your captain's table, and when you start your session, and your first quest, you'll go underwater like in HG to appear in front of the island or event you've chosen.
All this in honour of the sacrosanct grail of 'casual fun'... quick dopamine injection, and to help people who don't have time to play a game like SoT... to play a SoT that no longer resembles this game that made us fall in love...?
Further we go. The more this marvellous, contemplative, immersive game becomes a fast-paced grind, with HUD getting more and more crammed with... useless 'new' systems that you don't know what the hell to do with.
Everything we wanted? More mysteries, more lore, more islands to explore, more characters and creatures/enemies.
New weapons, new tools...
I wouldn't presume to say that Falcore agrees with me... But I do agree with what he says about SoT in this video.
@@droolbob4447 let's get a few things out of the way, first of all, everything you just said from the Voyages is from insiders so be very careful there, second, when you dive you lose the treasure you had on onboard, so it's not changing all that much, just shorten the downtime between activities
@@droolbob4447 don't get me wrong I know the game has some serious problems, but I still love it. That and also this new voyage thing ur talking about (NDA much?) won't affect me since I never do voyages anymore :/
Didn't we also summoned/revived an ancient warrior? Where is he though and what is he doing/ suppose to do?
There were at least a few loose ends for every adventure snd many more before then. It’s ridiculous.
You could probably make a list of a hundred or so loose ends rare has created at this point, it’s ridiculous.
My question is, if they’re giving up on story, is the game going to shut down then? Look at the tall tales 9 a random 3 no linked, 5 then 3, and besides flame heart and the pirate lord there’s very little connection between the sets of tall tales. Also with the plunder pass rewards being linked to the next season. Why haven’t we got anything yet for season 10? Also fir season 10 The Stormfish chaser, will we be getting more storms, or will we be doing stuff for the hunter’s call
What is that door with the orange gems?
It’s in the Heart of Fire, found in the accurately named Heart of Fire Tall Tale
IMHO a big issue is that that the monkey island crossover, while better as self contained content, is not as well integreated in the overall overarching story. Like Jack and Davy Jones really interacted with the world and the characters like they were travelling into the SoT, while the monkey island cast stays in its bubble.
The Orb Shall Reveal the Future of the Storyline that goes Nowhere, have faith Falcore, trust in the Orb,... #OrbCult
I miss the lore of this game...
I honestly thought that the Skull should have been an addition to the Sunkened Kingdom shrines rather than just an simple PVP quest with just "Ah you found me skull thanks" and finish :/
The chest is beautiful, the skull same, but we have not much lore nor explainations about it :/
"engage in pvp" literally done 5of those with noone else bothering to fight me for it...
They genuinely gotta wrap up their storylines. I don't mind the side sorta talltales updates, but I'd much rather devote more time to advancing the story than dealing with IP's from other worlds sliding in.
Honesty though, I don’t get it, Pirates Life was pretty cool just because there’s been no Pirates of the Caribbean content from Disney in years, plus they managed to weave the lore together, but Monkey Island? There was potential to connect a lot of different stuff but they blew it all. I’d much rather them focus on their own lore than incorporating these marvel-crossovers into the game, because honestly they take the developers MONTHS to create and they just get boring after a few days…
I think the skulls are skulls from the ancients from those who got the curse of sunken sorrow and u are actually disturbing there grave
Man I’m really disappointed with where sot is going this game played a big part in my life started in 7th grade now I’m about to graduate high school and it was honestly one of the most amazing experiences I’ve met some people on this game that i Now even consider family I hope this game can shape up its act because it’s honestly saddening seeing how dry it’s become
That’s honestly so true though, I remember grinding with all my friends back in middle school, whenever an update dropped we’d be talking about it for the whole day and theorizing while we waited for a Falcore video to release about it… Now? Everyone I’ve played with has essentially quit the game in its entirety… Why? Because it’s getting so stale, I’ve been on a hiatus of playing the game because there feels like there’s nothing to do and nothing to see. I’ve been to every island a thousand times and done everything there is to do in the game. The game still has SO much potential and it’s so sad to see it go to waste month after month
does it bug the hell out of anyone else that briggsy no longer has her peg leg? i dont even get the point of the change
Falcore, that last part of the video hurt to hear. I’ve been a long time viewer of your channel, back when the game was in its infancy and all the big updates were being added my friends and I loved watching your videos on the lore, gameplay changes, and their implications. We would wait, eagerly, to see what you would theorize on. It’s a massive shame that Rare is focusing so much on other parts of the game because this part is what gets people talking the most!! It’s been evident over the last few seasons that the story has taken a backseat which is just such a shame, so much great potential is being wasted!
#HireFalcoreForTheLore
Yeah…. Gotta say the story is definitely lacking. Especially with how many seasonal story beats are gone or missing. An with safer seas on the horizon. If they stated they will be postponing future stories to add all the prior seasons in a new campaign story capacity to safer seas (use ghosts/reflections to re-do the story) and it’ll take the first half of the year, I wouldn’t mind. So long as the 2nd half is worth it.
Second!
Welp this has made me kinda sad.
Hopefully we can get some good updates.
I can imagine how hard it is to make Lore Videos .....without any ....lore.
Am i third or fourth
No story or Lore. Why?
Because the Players demand. New players demand. Make things easier, make things more pvp or pve, but more pvp. Give reasons to keep playing, they dont care for the Story or Lore. Just a open world Battle royale
I don’t think that’s necessarily true because on the other side of things the physical content has also been severely lacking, one single voyage after MONTHS of waiting? Not to mention it’s all just recycled content in the quest itself. The PvP mode they introduced into the game a while back has also been hardly updated or changed to make it interesting again, so I feel like that mode appeals more towards PvP veterans and sweats of the game not necessarily newer players. Safer Seas is really the only thing I think is geared towards newer players, but even still I don’t think that there are a lot of new players even buying SoT anymore so I have really no idea who their target demographic is anymore… They’ve just pissed everyone off but somehow people are still defending Rare for giving us awful content these last few Seasons…
Can I have dibs on last?
No
They are making it up as they go along. We're all tired of all the incomplete story lines, but not half as tired as they are of trying to tell the story. Obviously. Mike Chapman attempts to act as if there is still plenty to look forward to, but if you gave him an enema you could fit him in a matchbox.
My first two attempts at the skull had ZERO opposition.. no one cares
"Intense pvp action" for the skull... i have still yet to actually come across another ship while I've done this voyage... actually quite boring coz nobody is bothered about it by the looks of it
Waaaaaaa 😢
This adventure has been a big fail
this statement might get some mad.. but.. I kinda feel like 7 days to die got an more interesting story then Sea of thieves at this point.
Sea of thieves just feel like an broken game that only relay on players liking the idea of Grinding gold and Commendations... there is not a lot of actually interesting things in the game to do or discover.
At least in my personal opinion.. as each time I start the game up, I just end up sitting on my ship and thinking.. ''What should I do?''
This game at times really hinges on there not being any actual direct competitors in the pirate game genre.
@@alphabros5226 agreed... at this point in time so would I even say that the only reason there is still a lot of players playing SoT is because there is no other Good Pirate game out there, whenever Skull and bones comes out, it might just take the spot as the Pirate game over SoT. That's ofc if it ever comes out
@@darknessmohag6181 I feel like in order for their to be a true Sea of Thieves Killer, it'd need to have the same base concept of a pirate game where you can take your pirate unto different islands and ships in a multiplayer environment.
Back when the game released and the content updates began rolling out there was a TON to do and see, every few weeks it felt like there was some game changing thing happening, now that all of those interesting content updates are more or less done for, we really only get a little bit of physical content every few months which usually boils down to more grinding as you’ve pointed out. I miss the old days of SoT, working with other crews to battle a megaladon, fighting the skeleton fleets with the new cursed cannonballs, island hopping on the volcanic islands to explore their secrets… :/
@@darknessmohag6181I might be completely wrong with this but Skull and Bones looks like if Assassin Creed Black Flag was detached from the Assassins Creed series and got its own fully fledged game with tons of unique content such as ships, bosses, and cosmetics. I don’t think it’s really comparable to SoT because at their core their completely different games trying to do different things. Maybe it’ll kill SoT because there’s more to do in it than in SoT, but I don’t think it’s going to be a similar experience to SoT at all.
Creation is dead my friends just look at Hollywood.
For someone like me, who started playing the game around 2022, I don't know who the F this woman is. And why? Because I will never have the opportunity to play these voyages/stories to find out about the lore of SoT. For me, a mostly PvE Player, this is just absolut nonsense. Why can't we just play the old adventures? I don't need the time limited cosmetics and all but please let us enjoy parts of the game which already had been in the game!
Game's gotten stale. Monkey Isle. Tall Tales didn't interest me. This Season doesn't interest me. And the Goku Skull is a snooze.
I’m glad I’m not the only one with this mindset
They chose (or perhaps it was dictated from on high *Microsoft*) to get into bed with Disney. The moment they did, the SoT narrative was doomed. Everything since APL has been in service of Disney story arcs (PotC/MI). SoT lore had already begun to take incoherent and convoluted turns prior to the advent of Disney. Once they began the partnership, the SoT narrative became ever more labyrinthine, clunkily attempting to tie in both PotC and MI arcs to the, again, already at times fuzzy SoT mythos. In short, all SoT content became/is in service of Disney content. (I mean, PL inviting Guybrush and Elaine to SoT for their honeymoon. OK.)
The only way to wrap the Flameheart/Pirate Lord/Reaper/Athena arc and all its attendant arcs, is to either: 1. Put forth a sweeping end story that basically tosses many if not most related (and unfinished) arcs out the window. Or 2. Do something bold like make the PL and FH the same person (play with the dream/memory/temporal facets of the lore), The DB and GMU as allies, and The Ancients as the true, uber villains who are puppet mastering -- manipulating both the DB and GMU into opening the portal wide enough to enable the SotD as a whole to break through into the world of the living and send SoT to tSotD, and thereby reclaim their ancient homeland and way of life -- but in reality, not in memory. From there, let all factions realize what's been taking place, "reconcile" the 2 sides of Ramsey, and have a united Reaper/Athena army of pirates alongside the DB (who upon learning the truth, vanquish the GMU and using the cure for the skele curse, allow both themselves and Reapers to become human again), and fight The Ancients in the battle for SoT. From there, a new lore can be built.
Either way, most will be disappointed because Rare had an amazing, somewhat borrowed but still original mythos, decided it wasn't good enough on its own, and in turn made it utterly schizophrenic. Movies should have been made based on the SoT OG narrative. Other games should have wanted to tie themselves to SoT, not the other way around. It was/is that strong. Sadly, Rare thinks otherwise. Next up for SoT: a full on Goonies set of Tall Tales. After that, as Falcore hinted at, Minecraft.
Clickbait
this game fell off so hard
For me this game is dead, wp to all the developers
