    To any people reading this who are afraid to try higher seas. That’s normal. People like to pretend it’s whatever getting sunk or that it’s not a little nerve wracking going against high skill players. Losing treasure and progress sucks. It’s awful, but if you can’t handle that. This might just not be your game, and that’s ok. Sea of thieves is not a mmo grind fest. It is essentially a massive arena you’re put in to make your own adventures.

    I've been playing for a couple of days on Safer Seas now, and thought I'd have a look at High Seas today... Maybe I've just been really lucky, or maybe it's because I was only doing simple treasure quests, but nobody has PvP'd me yet, and I've seen a few ships around (mostly sloops) on my last session. I tried both High Seas and Safer Seas, and found High Seas to be more chill, even with the threat of other players, because you can see them from a distance and avoid them. High Seas seems to spawn more skeleton ships, which pop up out of the water, and once they're locked on to you you can't get away, which just makes that mode kind of annoying.

I get feedback but only from non-techy people so would love to get yours :) Don't want to advertise it here but it's googlable (edit: it's not touching the game btw, it works off of sot website data combining it with wiki data and my own mappings)

    Hey blurbs, you're a pretty high profile player within sea of thieves.. Have you ever had any luck reaching out to developers directly and offered advice or feedback? I feel like alot of times you're disappointed with the way they handle alot of decisions. Hate to see the game slow down in terms of player count.
    I have a decent of hours in the game, but I personally feel it becomes sort of repetitive and almost a chore (although that depends on how lively a server is) I never understood why they removed the arena mode, maybe I'm naive in what it means to support the mode.. Just seems like an odd decision to remove features.

That’s the only thing turning me off about the game. And safer seas is completely unrewarding to make me feel like I’m wasting my time.

Sot too clunky and oftentimes so one-sided it just ain't worth it. Also, I've spent my life in the cod community and these sot kids make us look like angels in comparison.

    Safer Seas players, get into high seas as soon as possible no amount of PvE will prepare you for PvP, get used to the fact that no matter how good think you are you still have the potential to lose loot.
    Sinking is not the end of the world in fact if you do sink think of what you could have prevented that
    If you want to get better at PvP dont run away from a fight as experience is better than gold

  • @cmdrjesterdajuggla

    Being someone who knows different systems have different load times I believe we should not be forced into high seas due to latency and people’s systems not being new gen and take twice as long to respawn on the ship than I do, it’s just not fair to those who can’t afford the new systems.

    • @Telesto_Timelost
      @Telesto_Timelost 6 місяців тому

      That’s another issue honestly
      How sot probably works is that it despawns everything that is too far away
      I don’t get why rare just doesn’t change it to where your ship and everything around it will always be loaded in your console/pc
      Another thing that’s stupid is how sot despawns everything around you and then loads it back in when you take a mermaid. So basically if your ship is still loaded and you take a mermaid it will have to reload again

    I personally think they should remove the restrictions on Safer Seas and make it so all the High Seas content is available on Safer Seas. Also get rid of the gold restrictions, it needs to be 100%. Rare is punishing those who don't like PVP. Forcing PVE players to play with toxic sweats to experience the full game is not fair.

      But isn’t that what sot was designed for? To steal loot from others. If you lose loot you learn and adapt to become better so then you can steal others loot. Safer seas makes sense for new players, but I personally don’t see a point making it the exact same game in two different modes. Just my opinion.

    • @xSTONYTARKx
      @xSTONYTARKx 6 місяців тому +6

      I kindly disagree.
      In the first place they were never even gonna add safer seas, because the game is meant to be played online with others.
      If that's not up your ally that's totally cool, but maybe consider another game that isn't online multiplayer pvp?
      Sea of Thieves is just a game where pvp exists, and if people decide to play this game, then they should accept the fact that pvp will happen.
      The devs already went against their principals by adding safer seas. But they made it at reduced content and rewards, to give people a reason to eventually move to high seas.
      If they implement what you're asking, most new players won't even bother with high seas, and that would be the death of Sea of Thieves.
      And btw. how can you as a Sea of Thieves partner refer to acts of piracy in a pirate game as 'griefing'?
      That baffles me to be honest..
      I'm sure that some acts can be considered griefing (like spawn killing someone over and over for no reason), but Rare already added a solution to this a long time ago -> scuttle and move on.

      ​@@Telesto_Timelostit isn't about 'good' its about the combat experience being shit. Go play an actual pvp game and tell me the combat is even worth playing in this. Chivalry 2, For Honor, anything fromsoftware, Mordhau, hell even fuckin world of warcraft all have very good pvp. Theres hundreds of games that I would play before SoT if I wanted a good pvp experience. Some of those even have pve experiences/lore mixed in that are as good as SoT.
      I play this for the lore and to explore the map and things that are hidden around the world, plus the sea/sailing physics are tight. Doesn't mean I don't want the pvp element, but there should be more mechanics is all. All the games I listed, I could 1 v 'x' people because the game gives you more options than just running around and kiting people, hoping they slip up so you can hit them with one of 3 'devastating moves'.💀
      There's not many worthwhile ways to 1v4 people in this game unless the crew is just complete ass.
