    I'm glad to hear the losing ship is sent to another server, that was always my main argument against the idea of making running impossible. Now they've fixed both problems in this new system. Well done rare, this update looks absolutely amazing

    Love this update, the fact I can battle against other solo sloopers on demand rather than getting smashed by bigger crews and ships is great, I’m not great at PVP but this allows me to get great practice, I’ve actually won 3 and lost two and thoroughly enjoyed it. Cannot wait to complete the plunder pass and get as much rep as possible to hopefully increase my wealth and reputation so I can see even more progression; it’s been a fantastic first day on season 8.

    I do agree with a change to the supplies as they can be extremely unfair when it comes to a fresher spawn. Though taking the time to stock up shouldn't be discouraged. So I would say add a good amount default supplies to your first battle so you can just hop on and immediately begin the fight with a decent amount or take a bit more time and stock your ship up to get more supplies.
    This season looks all around like a massive W for SOT as a whole.

    • @zarris2635
      @zarris2635 Рік тому +5

      My idea would be for Rare to ensure that you have, at the least, a full stack of cannon balls, a stack of coconuts, and a stack of planks. If you have less (say fresh spawn supplies), the game auto fills until you have a stack of each. If you have over a stack of each then the game doesn't give you anymore. I think this would be a good way to let people quickly hop in to the PvP while also giving everyone a baseline of supplies.

    possible idea, an alternate skeleton cosmetic (for legs chest and head) to fit your original character outfit, so you can keep your hair and cloths and can still recolor your bones. Kinda like the Athena's got a curse option to let them keep their clothing colors and just have glowing eyes

    • @skyblue2708
      @skyblue2708 Рік тому +2

      The issue is remodeling all the clothes to fit a skeleton figure I believe. The ghost one doesn't change your model it just applies an effect to it but the skeleton is a different model entirely. That's why they opted to just make a few customisable pieces for the skeleton curse instead, less work.

    • @TheRauzKindred
      @TheRauzKindred Рік тому +2

      @@skyblue2708 Makes sense, just wish there was something they could do to make that easier to make for folks since I know most were hoping for it. Still, the cosmetics we did get for a skeleton curse was weirdly better than I was personally expecting at least. Most curses aren't really customizable so I personally think its a good twist on an old cosmetic feature. Still a bit weird they weren't able to somehow incorporate the glowstick skeleton structure they have hidden under all the player models. Oh well, we'll have to wait to see what they have in store for the future.

  • @JPooger
    @JPooger Рік тому +13

    I think the skeletal stuff has more future potential, Athena may have more curses atm, but the way the skelly cosmetics work leaves alot of room for new stuff. I think Athena had more stuff at the start cause it essentially re-used assets and skelly is all newish.

    It is great, but I got Rare'd last night. If you're playing an instrument and standing on the edge of the ship when you emerge from the water as , it will glitch you into the side of the ship. I learned the hard way after sinking 3 ships, and then getting stuck in the wall on the 4th, and sailing right by and out of bounds, sinking my ship. I experimented with it two more times after that, and it happened both times.

  • @jark06
    @jark06 Рік тому +11

    This update is incredible. My one gripe is the imbalance in the rewards. Sucks we can’t use our hair or clothes on the skeleton curse and Ghost curse gets no customisations like the Skelton curse just a piss recolour. Really happy with magpies wing stuff though so can’t complain there.

  • @MomradG
    @MomradG Рік тому +29

    I think 4 months for development is better then 3. It takes a lot of time to even just make one asset, especially models. If they need the time ti make sure the updates work fairly well, then go for it
    Also, I really think the reason they didnt add the normal clothing options to skeletons, is because they don't have the inside textured. Most clothing fuses with the player basically, so you don't have to see the insides. But on a skeleton, its visible.
    There is a lot of clothes, so I don't think they gonna remake the insides. Maybe another way it will be done. We have to wait and see

    This update has been an absolute blast. I've never been into PvP, but this has been some of the most fun I've had in a while, and I've even won 4 out of 4 matches. It's also nice to know that even when you lose, you get _some_ alignment, which is something I was actually hoping would be the case before the update came out.
    However... my main critique is that the level requirement for the Legendary Blessing of Athena being _1000_ does not seem worth it, especially since each level gets harder and harder due to the skill scaling, and from what I'm seeing on the SoT Discord, many people share this opinion. In the last 10 hours, I've gotten 6 levels with consistent wins, meaning I have 94 levels to go before I can get the initial Blessing (long, but doable), then I have to do all that that 9 times over for the one ghost curse that actually fits my Ashen aesthetic. 100 is absolutely doable, and I'd even be fine with Legendary being 200, 250, or even 300. But 1000 seems incredibly out of reach.

Like yesterday, twice when my duo and I came up sloop v sloop, the other sloop had a galleon and brig ready to help them, so it was 2 v 9, then 2 matches later, sloop v sloop and 2 galleons. Fun times, well done, oh and 1 galleon left the circle to gather supplies, so even fighting against GOOD crew which is taxing enough at times on your supplies, imagine having 2 other crews ready to repair your enemy and resupply them

  • @warlic5413
    @warlic5413 Рік тому +4

    To be honest, I want them to commit to the PVP changes a bit more and make it so theres a *decent* chance every time you are sunk by another ship to be merged onto another server at ALL times. Too many times have I been involved in a fight only for it essentially not ending up mattering as the ship in question respawns mere islands away from me ready to duke it out again with a refreshed ship. Singlehandedly the reason I have halted doing any FotDs or FoFs, ESPECIALLY as a solo slooper, but even with my less experienced occasional crew. Why fight over these when the only thing stopping another ship is their motivation to run the fight again? Make the experience of staying on the same server to rematch more exciting and less of a guaranteed occurrence, since I know damn well Rare has absolutely no intention of crippling a repeatedly sunk ship (and why would they? thats not fun for the receiver.) to prevent these constant runbacks. Plus then theres more on the line for Streamers and other high skill players when they invade allianced servers and/or just a busy server after a chat member has donated their ship.

    So far I’m already at 27. Though when people try joining on me I just scuttle to avoid the fight and not waste the other person’s time when I have 0 intention or interest in fighting them.
    Kind of a shame but Rare hasn’t left me any other option to progress as someone who refuses to partake in PvP anymore.
    My personal goal is to hit the Ghost Curse without ever sinking anyone in this mode as a challenge, as i did with hitting Reapers 75 with No PvP and no emissary flags, just PvE base turn in to their faction. I like the super long grinds like this :)

    I definitely think at least some supplies should be given to you. Maybe once you emerge from the waves or once someone invades your server, you could get supplies similar to arena where you barrels would get some coconuts and maybe pomegranates as well as wood, cannonballs, and a few chainshot. I can only really play like 5 hours a week, and if I have to spend half that time stocking up on supplies, it will really ruin the whole experience.

If you vote to represent a pvp faction and go do PvE activities, you'll be stocked as hell before a player pops up out of the water. I want to be able to queue up and PvP and stand a chance, at least supply-wise. I'm not asking for them to give me 50 chainshot and a bunch of curse balls, but give me some coconuts, maybe 10 chains, 50 balls, and like 2 of the top 3 curse balls, and we'll see what I can do with that.

    As someone who does a lot of open crew, this update has messed up the whole experience. Before you’d get randoms who were lost looking for quick ways to make gold, so I’d do veils and partials athenas. But now every open crew thinks it able to pvp just cause we have people on the ship. Yes you do get the odd crew that is able to win but the vast majority are look to just fire themselves out of cannons and cry that we sunk. The worst part is in the off chance you don’t do pvp these players will just sit around while you and maybe 1 other crewmate finish the fort/voyage. I really hope this dynamic changes in the next few weeks.

      @AdvSpringBonnie Рік тому +3

      @@AShinyRay Very well. When you spawn at an outpost, you are the the mercy of RNG to give you good supplies. For example today, I was going into solo battles and after going through the whole island, I only had around 30 cannonballs while I had a full stack of wood. This meant unfortunately I had to buy more from the shipright and the Merchants. While relatively cheap, I would make a net loss on gold by losing the fight I go into. On top of that, if I was to lose, I would lose all of those supplies I just purchased and more. Because the game spawns you at an island majority of the time, there are very few barrels there to get supplies from, meaning you need to sail to an outpost and do it all over again, unless you have the confidence in fighting another ship with slightly better than default supplies. Other ships will certainly have more supplies and possibly curseballs if they've been doing PvE, which has been true for most of my encounters. I do wish for Rare to implement a better system for gaining supplies soon, perhaps having 30% of them saved after you sink in this type of fight. Of course, this can become problematic when enemies board your ship with a storage crate and take your supplies, but that is an issue for another day.

The bar barely moves when you sell anything to him that isn't a flag. Its all well and good if you already got to reaper 75 before the nerfs... but those of us who have a ways to go its locking content behind a massive grind that most people didn't have to do.
