99% of all games players quit right after the game is released.so dunno what you mean but this game will never be fixed. were all just happy it manages to work as well as it does lol
My main problem is everything in season 14 was delayed. In the last podcast we learned the grapplegun was supposed to be in season 12 and was delayed until this season. Blowpipe was supposed to have all darts but was delayed to just three and then the mimic dart was delayed again. Crouching, Disguises, Ledge grabbing and Traps were all delayed, some of which were delayed and still came out with massive bugs (Looking at you traps and disguises). How can people have faith in a Developer when an entire seasons content was delayed. I guess we got Merfruit, good job rare.
and yet despite delaying the things and them still coming out broken they are trying to sell us a lie that more time and drip feeding content will lead to stable updates lol. how about PLAY YOUR GAME! stop counting on insiders to test. or better yet get rid of the NDA let streamers test then you have a huge catalog of bug recorded bug reports. they act like their updates are huge and top secret when they are minor and kind of a joke. then they compare themselves to world of warcraft.... yea you know what world of warcraft has? pve servers.. that didnt kill the pvp part of the game... also they publicly test their updates. no sissy nda
@@davez751 i mean if it works how it supposed to it will be a great element to the game im not seeing where its gonna cause problems if it actually works
There are a lot of good games out there now - i remember a few seasons back when Phuzzy and a few others openly called rare out in desperation - routinely i see them all playing other things now as they need to keep their channels alive. Rare seems not to care - wont even offer decent twitch drops worth logging in for. That i just dont understand - they are burying the ones who bring them new players.
I hate the state of the gold shop. Theres rarely ever anything worth spending gold on. It feels like all worth while cosmetics are fomo and real money.
Worth part is that some realy hard comondation unlock some piece of shiet item skin... Like, you need to do 26 achievement, some take hour to complit to get a knife who's greend and yellow ? Piss of mate Gold can only be used on cosmetic so at least make good stuff
I think it's game over, man. Live services allow developers and players to feel the effects of feature creep and technical debt in real time, and we're seeing the effects. You can't keep squeezing performance out of >10 year old hardware. You can't keep creating breaking the seams of a game's engine, else it'll snap. At some point, you have to call it "done". Rare's in the very awkward position of having planned around a future with no concrete checkpoints. "We'll keep adding content until either our players leave or the game doesn't work any more" isn't a sustainable business model. Now that the latter of those is starting to happen, players are going to A) expect some sort of closure around the story, and/or B) expect something else to replace it. From the outside looking in, it doesn't seem like Rare has a contingency plan for either of those. I've said it before and I'll say it again - live services are not sustainable.
Well, they had a really good run with it - its just they seem to think that run will last forever - bit like warcraft just keeps on creaking along. If they have any sense then there is a sea of thieves two in the making.....like space engineers is about to get and that looks great....but i just feel they have no such plans and that is bizarre and alarming.
Coming from the same company that said "We can't stop making content to fix the game, because that's not how you run a successful business." I'm not surprised. And your take on Live Service has been proven wrong for decades. MMOs are the ultimate live service models, and they've all done just fine, some existing for 20 years, and even 30 years, without so much as a hiccup for the amount of content they add on a yearly/biyearly basis. Rare is just incompetent at delivering a functioning game, and players refuse to admit that by making up excuses on their behalf.
@Mister_Blean MMOs are almost always on PC and are typically able to raise technical requirements as the average hardware capability increases. Cross platform games are tied to whatever was the current console hardware of the time and typically hold back technical advancements to keep last gen consoles compatible as long as possible. Cutting PS4 and whatever the Xbox equivalent of the time was into their own servers would go a long way into increasing the ability of what the devs can squeeze out of the engine.
@@Mister_Blean Some MMOs work because they're financially supported by a subscription service, as well as surface-level gameplay mechanics and interactions. I say some because of the MMO gold rush that followed WoW's success, where a shocking amount came and went. For the majority of companies, running an MMO isn't sustainable. This is in addition to the fact that MMOs like WoW and Runescape tend to also have to re-release the same game but older (classic), because feature creep and bloat mess with the experience for the sake of forever adding more content.
Spot on. The vibe about this game is apathetic. There’s still lots of content and fun to be had. I’m just not excited. I still don’t really like any of the season 14 content. Waddling as a barrel was the biggest improvement.
Same. I wish they would revert back to S13 and just skip all content in S14. I like hiding in chests, but outside of that, its been complete butt changes.
As someone who used to play insiders, then got bored with insiders and just AFK'ed at outpost for an hour in insiders just to finish the first ship set (which I have now done, the first one, never started the second), I agree with the change. I wanted to play it, but it was just empty and didn't really have a point as any progress I made wouldn't count towards my real character. If they really want to get people back into insiders, I think the current change is a good step, but there needs to be a new rewards track as well, and a low tier recolor set that used to take literal years to fully unlock, gold that is only a few mid-tier chests worth, and nearly worthless doubloons isn't it. My idea would be a second reward track that runs concurrent with the old, so that people currently working on the old aren't screwed out of a set they've been working towards that has ancient coins and ship/weapons/outfit sets from the emporium, not every set obviously, but some of those sets have been there for years now, how many people are buying the Ruby Spashtail set now-a-days? Take sets that are 3-4+ years old, put the hull/sails/figurehead on the insiders track, plus reward ancient coins, it'll be incentive for people to play insiders, and probably also boost sales because people are going to want to finish the sets...if you give me the hull/sails/figurehead over three weeks for free, plus enough free ancient coins to buy the guns and capstan, I'm going to be awfully tempted to drop a few bucks to finish off that set.
I still strongly disagree with your enthusiasm for staggered seasons. We are effectively living through a staggered season, it's pretty crap and the player count reflects that. I would strongly prefer if the Hunters Call update could hit at full force and be enjoyed as such.
@PIMPDAMO I think, as someone who went through all cycles, Seasons are easily the worst. Season 14 isn't good because nothing works and the features are mixed
The issue with not having seasons is that the alternative will be just as poor - Rare cant handle seasons, but at this rate, they cant handle a reasonably paced spread of content either. The mimic dart is well after the season start and it may well never be put in the game at this rate. Its like saying we no longer have single meals because the cook is slow....but in this case, they could spend all day making your breakfast....and would still give the individual parts burned and ruined. The cook cant cook and thats the problem.
@@silvercat18in this case it isnt realy about what best (seasonal or when update are ready) And more about what rare will less fuck up, right ? On one hand there's isnt a lot geting aded at once On the other there's a lot, but its broken and make the game look like a beta. Pick your poison as we say
I just downloaded and started playing the game this week, and I have to say that having a safer option to explore and learn the world a bit before jumping into the High Seas is a godsend. Being able to learn bits of the game, wander around on an island looking for chests, without risking my cargo is great. Soon I will join the High Seas, hopefully is someone who can at least parlay out of trouble!
I just started playing for the first time too and so far it's been a blast. I say just hop onto high seas and join a crew of 4. Follow people around and watch them and ask questions. That's what I've been doing. Awesome overall design and so fun just sailing the ship around exploring different things, but I can definitely see how once that novelty wears off, there isn't really much else to do other than grind for cosmetics. The combat is buggy and super janky.. Especially the PvE. And the PvP gets ultra-sweaty with people who have been playing since it came out.. Idk I'm enjoying just playing for fun and getting into silly situations. Yesterday I was in a crew of 4 and some random guy jumped on our ship and became our on-board chef/slave as we joked around. I guess the days of just playing games to have fun are long over.. Everyone has to reach some sort of arbitrary achievement or number to get an icon for their profile..
May mean very little, but you're the first place I come to for sot news outside of the devs own vids. You offer a players perspective in a fun and interesting format, and I appreciate that.
I've been holding onto hope that they may remove content that made the servers unplayable for a couple years now, but now that I've killed the shrouded ghost and have pretty much every commendation in the game, I've decided to uninstall it. F
The delay means I have more time to get my remaining Blackcloud Wreckers. While I found a Discord where players organise for it, but most requests come from overseas late at night. Treacherous Plunder fishing were the most boring sessions I ever played. Did the 6 remaining pieces by myself at Hidden Spring Keep. Was told that the Tribute Peak pond was „fixed“, but the glitch apparently still works.
terrible news. lets not forget they used to patch every 2 weeks. and if they released a new patch that was buggy as hell we got faster updates withing a weeks time. now they update once a month when they added new cash shop items. even on extremely broken updates like the addition of captaincy we didnt get a bug fix till a month later with the cash shop update. lets not forget captaincy took them a WHOLE YEAR of programming and testing to release and it STILL came out broken. the reality is they keep claiming longer time between updates will give them more time to polish the updates but we have 7 years of this never being the case. perhaps its part of the push to make insiders actually test the builds. but as a former insider i can tell you most of the time they dont even have the content available for us to test which is why everyone just afked 1 hour a week and called it good. like captaincy was a huge one that was just never available for testing. during a lot of that time they were also heavily focused on the adventures so it was like test captaincy for 2 days now test adventures. the adventures as time limited events and getting such extreme focus was a huge flaw in their game design. sadly them drip feeding seasonal content is clearly more to pad player engagement month to month. i play for 2 days a season and thats pretty much it. so splitting up the release over the season means the concurrent player graph will spike the start of every monthly update rather than huge spike at season start then a steep drop off in the first few weeks. lets not forget gaming in 2024 is all about what looks good to share holders.
S15 with split content is bad idea. Feb: Play first week and quit. March: Play first week and quit. April: Same. Leaving a lot of days/weeks with nothing new to do.
As people said, behing able to go where you want when you want to much freedome, if you dont want to walk a litle then juste dont play SoT, play a game who's faster. 50% of thing you do in SoT is drive a boat and do nothing, waiting to go on island
As someone who chases commendations and and achievements this season was a real letdown. From commendations being locked for much of the season, old commendations being almost impossible to complete due to how the content has aged, and now with traps introduced, A lot of them are dependent on other players (disarming traps and such) which I'd really like to see us move away from at this point. I just struggle to bring myself to play nowadays...
The state of this game just makes me sad. I get that developing games isn't as easy as pushing the "Update Game Button" but these constant delays are getting ridiculous. I'm hoping that Rare can eventually sort all of this out, but that's exactly what it is, hoping.
Some context for newer players, I was hoping that there would be hit reg improvements in season 8. And the only new content we’ve gotten between that time and now is the burning blade.
I find it so poetic that monthly updates stopped for seasons and now “seasons” are staggered monthly. What is management doing over there… there seems to be no cohesive strategy. With Arena closing we were supposed to get more quality more quickly and I feel like im still waiting for that to pan out.
Sadly i havent had the motivation. Ive logged in for the limited time stuff but even then it felt like a chore. Aince the Burning Blade release myself and my friends list has basically stopped playing Sea. BB was cool but felt like a chore due to having to due certain parameters for commendations. Since then everything is a janky mess. Hacks have hit an all time high even with the anti cheats. Bugs are out of control. Promised content is broken. I truly miss this game and want it to be better again
For the first time I really struggled to complete my season pass - and I wager i am not the only one. The motivation just wasnt there and there was nothing in the game to get even remotely excited about. The new weapons were meh, the traps barely seem to function and the social dynamic of the game is horribly damaged at this point. I saw so many bored crews who were just out for sinks - but even they were struggling to find targets as there was nothing bringing us all together. The fort of the damned was briefly busy as a few people got their white chests but that soon tailed off. It was nothing like the initial arrival of the chest to the fort of fortune or the burning blade - it was busywork and mind numbingly boring for experienced crews. I am so tired of hearing this "we must do better" speech rare has been giving - we heard it several times this season and its always followed up with some amazing video for something to be excited about....that then fails to appear with the next update. "guys guys, dont worry about this, soon you get (mimic darts!) for real this time.....oh, well....we couldnt do that.....again". At this stage i can well believe that when we do reach the delayed date next year for the next update.....that it gets delayed yet again....and that something in that wont work either....and it goes on. The Emporium feeds this game - but that needs people actually playing and the newbies i have seen are being torn apart by bored veterans. Safer seas isnt working to protect them as it should either and routinely the newbies i run into have never even considered it, or dont know about it. They are all still coming into adventure and being driven from the game before they even get settled. Hourglass veterans seem to be in huge supply in adventure at the moment - the collapse of that mode is now having real consequences. For the first time, in a long history of play, i wouldnt recommend this game to anyone....and that hurts as i still love it, the idea of it at least....but that game seems to be gone.
Watching clips of the rarest items. Each new season brings back unique items from past seasons? In season 14, they brought back stuff from season 7. So in season 15, they'll bring back stuff from season 8? Does this mean the ghost weapon, saber, and FlameHearth hat will return?
I'm so happy the season got delayed. I'm level 49 in hunter's call so need 1 more month to buy the final level up from bilge rats to hit 50 and get the xbox achievement for it
What they really need to do with insider is giving the testers more tools to test new features with. Starting out as a swabby every time the server gets wiped makes going out and finding the things to test an absolute pain.
They need to re-do the rewards. People who are new to insiders don’t want to join now and earn the rewards years behind everyone else. They need incentives for new blood in insiders
They should make the leftover stuff from the silver/Sapphire blade set the newest insiders rewards. Like Blowpipe. throwing knife. grappling gun and captaincy and all that
I recently became pirate legend. I have been playing for about a month. My friend's have stopped playing and I am incredibly bored whenever I sign in. Boring gameplay and unreliable devs. Onto the best game..... returnal
They also need to fix the blunderbuss not firing. Also, remove even more of the knock back. If you have a single hole, and someone boards with a blunderbuss, its game over. Just blunder you off every single time you try to board your ship back. Its dumb.
They should have just removed the damn NDA from insider, it would get more people discussing and reporting issues and the reward system changes isn't going to fix it, if anything it'll just make the AFK farmers just not bother logging in at all. Slow clap for Rare, for yet another pointless decision that won't actually help anything.
Genuinely. I don't give a damn if someones ban evading I care about what they were doing to get banned in the first place. Fix the exploits and detect the cheats. Spending resources on boping alt accounts is pointless.
A game based on cosmetic progression, and the only actual good cosmetics you can get now cost real money. And now with staggered updates its like were just going back to the monthly updates. A sad state to see my (used to be) favorite game.
Say anything you want about features we don’t yet have, I love this game for what it is. This game is boundless with the fun that you could have. My only complaint is the hackers and rare having a vendetta against certain streamers. …Theb…
I played this game religiously when season 8 came out, chasing my gold skeleton cosmetic, After that everything else just feels so 'meh' There was such a narrative feel, like where were they going to take this Flameheart Vs Ramsay vibe, how would the War affect the islands? How would the story progress? Oh. Nothing happened. Nothing ever happened, ever again. Flameheart came back...and nothing happened. At all.
It's kinda wild how many cheaters there is in this game. Especialy in hourglass.Like seriously I dont play it that much but still meat cheaters consistently when trying it out. Yesterday on the second match we imediatly encountered flying/teleporting, invicible, aimboting scums laughing and screaming "noobs noobs noobs" like EVERY cheater on any game seem to find funny to do... I guess they are just inflicting to others what was inflected to them when they had no cheat and had to rely on theirs pretty low tier skills 💀. I know they are doing their best regarding cheats but damn there is too many of them... and if I as a player that dont do hourglass much can meet this many then I'm pretty sure thoses that play it a lot more must suffer. I think it would be a good idea from the devs to randers the hourglass game mode unacessible until you reach pirate legend status. This way cheaters cannot just make a new account and continue there bullshit. Most game have this kind of system to protect their rank modes and it's not like pirate legend status is very difficult to get 🤷.
At the end of the day rare is no longer a small company. They have the money and resources to push out consistent WORKING content and they just can’t do it
To me, this season has been disappointing not because of delays but because none of the new content was implemented in a way that was interesting to begin with. I was hyped for "being able to hide in collector chests" for so long just for disguises to drop in a way that makes them basically useless. For new content I would rather see something like a new location in the roar, or an improved open crew matchmaker.
I’m not gonna trip too much about this because we all ask them to fix stuff before releasing it, and that’s what they’re doing, but some speculation that maybe a insider knows all of the game breaking stuff but refuse to say anything until last second so rare has to fix that. Idk there are a lot of scumy people so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case
Server performance somehow getting worse and worse, combat system clunky and weirder than ever, old content rotting away and left to die, seems the game was at a crossroads after Pirates Life. Could either have become a really really successful and big game if they’d enriched a competitive experience in arena and beefed up adventure with new tools and experiences but instead it peaked then with player numbers only getting lower and the wrong content arriving after such a period of hype. What could have been…
u know what would help insiders if rare actually would not ignore feedback at least thats why i stopped doing it legit back then stuff gets ignored and still ends up in live game
last update i was legitimately excited about was season 8. and even that ended up being terrible. idk who they make these "updates" for. why would i care about some blowpipe and next to useless traps when i can just straight up double gun ppl as well as pve and reach whatever goal i have much faster and easier whether that may be killing players or killing a boss. But by far the worst season update was when they just added fireworks. second place buried treasure.
I'll never not be salty about being banned from insiders over giving harsh emporium feedback, I played it and actually tested but I cant give feedback anymore
I haven't got to play much at all for the last month due to work and my only controller catching stick drift. I can't be asked to pay another 55 bucks for a controller that'll last 6 months
Safer Seas needs to be discouraged after a few hours in the game. The 100% gold is ridiculous. This isn't a single player game. The insiders changes, they can't get anyone to play now, so yes, lets make them actually have to do even more work in order to get those rewards. This is just going to kill Insiders even further.
At this point its really difficult to respect what Rare are saying about the future of the game considering theyve pretty much gone back on every promise they made when the game was in its infancy. I still play the game for the social aspect of getting on with my mates but the game itself is in the worst state its ever been in.
SIGH I am just gonna complete the Plunder Pass I bought and then maybe shelve the game until Rare does something....Might be a while but my ship is leaking and after i'm done its going to sink...
I had such massive hopes for Flameheart's return, and it was just so underwhelming. Every season has felt less interesting, less engaging, and lately, less cohesive as the game's health degrades.
2025 will just see more OG players leave the game with the communities. 2024 was very rough for the game, sure the PS5 release and bits and bobs of little success, but the playerbase is dwindling down a bit. Season 14 isn't the sole cause, they haven't gotten players back with the Burning Blade either. Also the competitive community that believe it or not had a lot of influence on players have completely died to, with most leaving the game.
The emporium killed this game. This game can't even break 10k player daily peak. Such a shame they focused so much on adding micro transactions and stuffing more content in instead of the health of the game and fixing the old content. And the lag now is so bad.. "Look how they massacred my boy"
In all honesty, the game is not great helth wise. New players often probably get marauded out, and rage quit when they lose 3 hours of progress to mega sweatlords. Seems like everybody that seeks out pvp on the high seas is a sweat. And that makes sense, because the confident in their abilities will seek out others. While the people who have been bullied run from any sails they see. It has never really fully recovered from its launch state, because the resources arent there to do what needs to be done. The years of small improvements have made the game much better, but the matchmaking could do a better job at not feeding newer folks to people who are lvl 300 in stuff.
I love this game so much. But I'm tired of them feeding us this garbage. They've been singing the same song for nearly 2 years. People really need to speak up and stop defending their horrible practices. 90% of social media replies are "GOOD JOB THANKS FOR THE TRANSPARENCY" and "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK" and "THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST" Clearly their best isn't good enough. Their "transparency" is full of bold faced lies and going back on previous things they've stated. And their work isn't good. No other game studio suffers from the problems that Rare claims to have with this game. It's inexcusable. And those that do, don't last long enough to see the light of day. The game is fun when it works. The problem is it has barely worked at all for 2 years. The same bugs from 2, even 6, years ago exist. They claim to fix something, for it to remain broken in the exact same way. 2022 ended with them saying "DON'T WORRY, 2023 WILL BE A NEW YEAR FOR SEA OF THIEVES AND WE'LL GET BACK TO WHAT WE DO BEST" 2023 ended with them saying "DON'T WORRY, 2024 WILL BE A NEW YEAR FOR SEA OF THIEVES AND WE'LL GET BACK TO WHAT WE DO BEST" 2024 is ending with them saying "DON'T WORRY, 2025 WILL BE A NEW YEAR FOR SEA OF THIEVES AND WE'LL GET BACK TO WHAT WE DO BEST" They need to do 3 things and 3 things only. 1. ACTUALLY OWN UP to their mistakes and stop feeding us gutter babble PR speak through Drew. Someone in charge come out and admit your faults and wrongdoings. 2. Stop making new content. Period. And. FIX. THE. GAME. 3. Remove the Insiders NDA so that creators and players can openly discuss the game and any changes to it, without the fear of being banned.
Is it the team? Is it the game? I say remake the whole damn thing better so things actually work. Take the time hire a fk japanese dev I don't care re make it so it works. Fkn Microsoft is ruining rare
Same story with every game i play. Stop whining everyone. It is still a great game. Some people cry even before the games come out. Talking about true negativity. This comment is not about the video above. It is about the crying people. 😊 There are entire channels about Battlefield bashing the game for 3 years. Grown men like to moan together hahaha
After around 6 years i think thry really need to move on from SOT, it was fun but recently its just been disappointing, a new game or sequel on better tech would be better at this point
Whats worse about the mimic dart situation is that they even added the achievements for it like the mischief commendations but we cant complete them becuase theres no mimic dart
I am down for firing the ENTIRE dev team, having a 6 months of no updates as long as they can fix the game. Also almost all of these updates are just complete shit.
The Harpoon Gun should have never come to the game it ruined the game for me now nobody wants to ship battle they just want to board your ship with the dumb Harpoon Gun I hope they're happy that they destroyed the game Pirates do naval battle not shoot from cannons and zipline across each other's ship
What game are you playing? Harpoon gun boards only ever work against galleons and even then it's pretty easy to just pay attention and kill them. Remember they're down a weapon slot. No sword=sword lord em. Or just blunder bus them. If they land a deck shot just pay attention appreciate the hecken shot they landed and kill em. Tldr; skill issue.
Given how much time is spent going after theb, krud, and noobface, I just hope this change to catching alt accounts doesn't just get bypassed by hackers immediately. People like theb should stay banned but holy shit if this change is just to prevent this small group of players from coming back, I'll start campaigning to just straight up remove hour glass. It's still unplayable and we need fixes to catch and remove hackers. Not groups of people that rare hate for one reason or another.
I feel like stream sniping a person once back in arena shouldn't justify rare having a dedicated person monitoring his streams to ban em. Especially since noobs ban was false anyways.
Why on earth is Crud on your list? Someone this misinformed should not share their opinions. You must be baiting? I refuse to believe people can be so blindly ignorant.
@@grahm5643 It is definitely alarming just how much animosity they have towards him and the effort put into dealing with him. It is a level of personal hatred that i really havent ever witnessed in a dev team, in any game.
Streamers are being starved - no good twitch drops, no real advancement of the lore, endless levels of hype for updates that then come out delayed or broken. I have seen so many of them switch to other games and yet there seems to be no concern about this from the devs, despite content creators being their primary tool for getting players interested in the game. Its turning into a toxic and highly one sided relationship now, though. Its a painful thing to watch, for sure.

Why would you fight for toxic cheater (fov) and exploiter?
Cuz, funny pirate game
I think it's game over, man. Live services allow developers and players to feel the effects of feature creep and technical debt in real time, and we're seeing the effects.
You can't keep squeezing performance out of >10 year old hardware. You can't keep creating breaking the seams of a game's engine, else it'll snap. At some point, you have to call it "done".
Rare's in the very awkward position of having planned around a future with no concrete checkpoints. "We'll keep adding content until either our players leave or the game doesn't work any more" isn't a sustainable business model. Now that the latter of those is starting to happen, players are going to A) expect some sort of closure around the story, and/or B) expect something else to replace it.
From the outside looking in, it doesn't seem like Rare has a contingency plan for either of those. I've said it before and I'll say it again - live services are not sustainable.
Well, they had a really good run with it - its just they seem to think that run will last forever - bit like warcraft just keeps on creaking along. If they have any sense then there is a sea of thieves two in the making.....like space engineers is about to get and that looks great....but i just feel they have no such plans and that is bizarre and alarming.
Coming from the same company that said "We can't stop making content to fix the game, because that's not how you run a successful business." I'm not surprised.
And your take on Live Service has been proven wrong for decades. MMOs are the ultimate live service models, and they've all done just fine, some existing for 20 years, and even 30 years, without so much as a hiccup for the amount of content they add on a yearly/biyearly basis.
Rare is just incompetent at delivering a functioning game, and players refuse to admit that by making up excuses on their behalf.
@Mister_Blean
MMOs are almost always on PC and are typically able to raise technical requirements as the average hardware capability increases. Cross platform games are tied to whatever was the current console hardware of the time and typically hold back technical advancements to keep last gen consoles compatible as long as possible. Cutting PS4 and whatever the Xbox equivalent of the time was into their own servers would go a long way into increasing the ability of what the devs can squeeze out of the engine.
@@Mister_Blean Some MMOs work because they're financially supported by a subscription service, as well as surface-level gameplay mechanics and interactions. I say some because of the MMO gold rush that followed WoW's success, where a shocking amount came and went. For the majority of companies, running an MMO isn't sustainable.
This is in addition to the fact that MMOs like WoW and Runescape tend to also have to re-release the same game but older (classic), because feature creep and bloat mess with the experience for the sake of forever adding more content.
Spot on. The vibe about this game is apathetic. There’s still lots of content and fun to be had. I’m just not excited. I still don’t really like any of the season 14 content. Waddling as a barrel was the biggest improvement.
Same. I wish they would revert back to S13 and just skip all content in S14. I like hiding in chests, but outside of that, its been complete butt changes.
As someone who used to play insiders, then got bored with insiders and just AFK'ed at outpost for an hour in insiders just to finish the first ship set (which I have now done, the first one, never started the second), I agree with the change. I wanted to play it, but it was just empty and didn't really have a point as any progress I made wouldn't count towards my real character. If they really want to get people back into insiders, I think the current change is a good step, but there needs to be a new rewards track as well, and a low tier recolor set that used to take literal years to fully unlock, gold that is only a few mid-tier chests worth, and nearly worthless doubloons isn't it. My idea would be a second reward track that runs concurrent with the old, so that people currently working on the old aren't screwed out of a set they've been working towards that has ancient coins and ship/weapons/outfit sets from the emporium, not every set obviously, but some of those sets have been there for years now, how many people are buying the Ruby Spashtail set now-a-days? Take sets that are 3-4+ years old, put the hull/sails/figurehead on the insiders track, plus reward ancient coins, it'll be incentive for people to play insiders, and probably also boost sales because people are going to want to finish the sets...if you give me the hull/sails/figurehead over three weeks for free, plus enough free ancient coins to buy the guns and capstan, I'm going to be awfully tempted to drop a few bucks to finish off that set.
Earlier this year, the game was more fun than I had ever had. It’s wild how quickly sot can become such an apathetic experience so quickul
I still strongly disagree with your enthusiasm for staggered seasons.
We are effectively living through a staggered season, it's pretty crap and the player count reflects that.
I would strongly prefer if the Hunters Call update could hit at full force and be enjoyed as such.
@PIMPDAMO I think, as someone who went through all cycles, Seasons are easily the worst. Season 14 isn't good because nothing works and the features are mixed
The issue with not having seasons is that the alternative will be just as poor - Rare cant handle seasons, but at this rate, they cant handle a reasonably paced spread of content either. The mimic dart is well after the season start and it may well never be put in the game at this rate. Its like saying we no longer have single meals because the cook is slow....but in this case, they could spend all day making your breakfast....and would still give the individual parts burned and ruined. The cook cant cook and thats the problem.
@@silvercat18I like the analogy👏👏
@@silvercat18in this case it isnt realy about what best (seasonal or when update are ready)
And more about what rare will less fuck up, right ?
On one hand there's isnt a lot geting aded at once
On the other there's a lot, but its broken and make the game look like a beta.
Pick your poison as we say
I just downloaded and started playing the game this week, and I have to say that having a safer option to explore and learn the world a bit before jumping into the High Seas is a godsend. Being able to learn bits of the game, wander around on an island looking for chests, without risking my cargo is great. Soon I will join the High Seas, hopefully is someone who can at least parlay out of trouble!
I just started playing for the first time too and so far it's been a blast. I say just hop onto high seas and join a crew of 4. Follow people around and watch them and ask questions. That's what I've been doing. Awesome overall design and so fun just sailing the ship around exploring different things, but I can definitely see how once that novelty wears off, there isn't really much else to do other than grind for cosmetics. The combat is buggy and super janky.. Especially the PvE. And the PvP gets ultra-sweaty with people who have been playing since it came out.. Idk I'm enjoying just playing for fun and getting into silly situations.
Yesterday I was in a crew of 4 and some random guy jumped on our ship and became our on-board chef/slave as we joked around. I guess the days of just playing games to have fun are long over.. Everyone has to reach some sort of arbitrary achievement or number to get an icon for their profile..
Are you on Xbox or PC?
May mean very little, but you're the first place I come to for sot news outside of the devs own vids. You offer a players perspective in a fun and interesting format, and I appreciate that.
@@drowsypaladin5754 thanks! I always appreciate comments like this!
I've been holding onto hope that they may remove content that made the servers unplayable for a couple years now, but now that I've killed the shrouded ghost and have pretty much every commendation in the game, I've decided to uninstall it. F
Moving Tall Tales to Safer Seas only would be a good start
The delay means I have more time to get my remaining Blackcloud Wreckers. While I found a Discord where players organise for it, but most requests come from overseas late at night. Treacherous Plunder fishing were the most boring sessions I ever played. Did the 6 remaining pieces by myself at Hidden Spring Keep. Was told that the Tribute Peak pond was „fixed“, but the glitch apparently still works.
terrible news. lets not forget they used to patch every 2 weeks. and if they released a new patch that was buggy as hell we got faster updates withing a weeks time. now they update once a month when they added new cash shop items. even on extremely broken updates like the addition of captaincy we didnt get a bug fix till a month later with the cash shop update. lets not forget captaincy took them a WHOLE YEAR of programming and testing to release and it STILL came out broken.
the reality is they keep claiming longer time between updates will give them more time to polish the updates but we have 7 years of this never being the case. perhaps its part of the push to make insiders actually test the builds. but as a former insider i can tell you most of the time they dont even have the content available for us to test which is why everyone just afked 1 hour a week and called it good. like captaincy was a huge one that was just never available for testing. during a lot of that time they were also heavily focused on the adventures so it was like test captaincy for 2 days now test adventures. the adventures as time limited events and getting such extreme focus was a huge flaw in their game design.
sadly them drip feeding seasonal content is clearly more to pad player engagement month to month. i play for 2 days a season and thats pretty much it. so splitting up the release over the season means the concurrent player graph will spike the start of every monthly update rather than huge spike at season start then a steep drop off in the first few weeks. lets not forget gaming in 2024 is all about what looks good to share holders.
huge W for the harpoon gun changes
S15 with split content is bad idea.
Feb: Play first week and quit.
March: Play first week and quit.
April: Same.
Leaving a lot of days/weeks with nothing new to do.
@burnbaconxbl Seasons are play for 2 weeks and then not again until 3 months later
Rare please make the Haroon gun a tool... It's shouldn't be a weapon ! We should be able to have the harpoon on us aswell add 2 weapons
It’s a weapon bc it’s op? If they were to make this a tool it would be a guaranteed win in a hourglass game
God no.
Part of balancing is opportunity cost. You can't justify how strong the harpoon gun is without an equally significant sacrifice.
As people said, behing able to go where you want when you want to much freedome, if you dont want to walk a litle then juste dont play SoT, play a game who's faster. 50% of thing you do in SoT is drive a boat and do nothing, waiting to go on island
As someone who chases commendations and and achievements this season was a real letdown. From commendations being locked for much of the season, old commendations being almost impossible to complete due to how the content has aged, and now with traps introduced, A lot of them are dependent on other players (disarming traps and such) which I'd really like to see us move away from at this point.
I just struggle to bring myself to play nowadays...
Long live theb
rip
The state of this game just makes me sad. I get that developing games isn't as easy as pushing the "Update Game Button" but these constant delays are getting ridiculous. I'm hoping that Rare can eventually sort all of this out, but that's exactly what it is, hoping.
And even if they take so much time, its still broken when realesed in game... take the crouch fonction had an exemple
I think insiders should get ancient coin as a reward.
Some context for newer players, I was hoping that there would be hit reg improvements in season 8. And the only new content we’ve gotten between that time and now is the burning blade.
Ive been waiting for the mimic dart for so long. Its the only thing that will make me come back right now
I find it so poetic that monthly updates stopped for seasons and now “seasons” are staggered monthly. What is management doing over there… there seems to be no cohesive strategy. With Arena closing we were supposed to get more quality more quickly and I feel like im still waiting for that to pan out.
1:07 the way you said “shit” was so random
@@quakles3d1 should 😂
Feel like this entire year can be summed up as "We're sorry we'll do better"
Sucks to struggle so much to be positive about a game like this
Notice how the outpost there’s a new stand with fishing rod and bait. It appears the hunters call is going to move here.
Sadly i havent had the motivation. Ive logged in for the limited time stuff but even then it felt like a chore. Aince the Burning Blade release myself and my friends list has basically stopped playing Sea. BB was cool but felt like a chore due to having to due certain parameters for commendations. Since then everything is a janky mess. Hacks have hit an all time high even with the anti cheats. Bugs are out of control. Promised content is broken.
I truly miss this game and want it to be better again
For the first time I really struggled to complete my season pass - and I wager i am not the only one. The motivation just wasnt there and there was nothing in the game to get even remotely excited about. The new weapons were meh, the traps barely seem to function and the social dynamic of the game is horribly damaged at this point. I saw so many bored crews who were just out for sinks - but even they were struggling to find targets as there was nothing bringing us all together. The fort of the damned was briefly busy as a few people got their white chests but that soon tailed off. It was nothing like the initial arrival of the chest to the fort of fortune or the burning blade - it was busywork and mind numbingly boring for experienced crews.
I am so tired of hearing this "we must do better" speech rare has been giving - we heard it several times this season and its always followed up with some amazing video for something to be excited about....that then fails to appear with the next update. "guys guys, dont worry about this, soon you get (mimic darts!) for real this time.....oh, well....we couldnt do that.....again". At this stage i can well believe that when we do reach the delayed date next year for the next update.....that it gets delayed yet again....and that something in that wont work either....and it goes on.
The Emporium feeds this game - but that needs people actually playing and the newbies i have seen are being torn apart by bored veterans. Safer seas isnt working to protect them as it should either and routinely the newbies i run into have never even considered it, or dont know about it. They are all still coming into adventure and being driven from the game before they even get settled. Hourglass veterans seem to be in huge supply in adventure at the moment - the collapse of that mode is now having real consequences. For the first time, in a long history of play, i wouldnt recommend this game to anyone....and that hurts as i still love it, the idea of it at least....but that game seems to be gone.
Shrouded ghost delayed? More like still on indefinitely hold because it doesn't exist! Gottem-
Wym that's just the thumbnail?
Watching clips of the rarest items. Each new season brings back unique items from past seasons? In season 14, they brought back stuff from season 7. So in season 15, they'll bring back stuff from season 8? Does this mean the ghost weapon, saber, and FlameHearth hat will return?
Yes!
@Alok_Dilon Flameheart Hat is back next season
I'm so happy the season got delayed. I'm level 49 in hunter's call so need 1 more month to buy the final level up from bilge rats to hit 50 and get the xbox achievement for it
Or buy it from Larrina.
Bruh
What they really need to do with insider is giving the testers more tools to test new features with. Starting out as a swabby every time the server gets wiped makes going out and finding the things to test an absolute pain.
They need to re-do the rewards. People who are new to insiders don’t want to join now and earn the rewards years behind everyone else. They need incentives for new blood in insiders
how do you get cosmetics now if they aren't in the shop
They should make the leftover stuff from the silver/Sapphire blade set the newest insiders rewards. Like Blowpipe. throwing knife. grappling gun and captaincy and all that
How do u get insider rewards?
I recently became pirate legend. I have been playing for about a month. My friend's have stopped playing and I am incredibly bored whenever I sign in. Boring gameplay and unreliable devs. Onto the best game..... returnal
Well... I guess I better have things delayed and cook longer in the oven then rushed out with even bigger bugs...
Exactly. That is how it should be.
They also need to fix the blunderbuss not firing. Also, remove even more of the knock back. If you have a single hole, and someone boards with a blunderbuss, its game over. Just blunder you off every single time you try to board your ship back. Its dumb.
You solo or something?
You can harpoon rocks, but not wood. GJ Rare!
They should have just removed the damn NDA from insider, it would get more people discussing and reporting issues and the reward system changes isn't going to fix it, if anything it'll just make the AFK farmers just not bother logging in at all. Slow clap for Rare, for yet another pointless decision that won't actually help anything.
I hope it gets better, this game is great "was" depending on your perspective, but i like it and hope it stays that way.
How would ban evading update work? anti cheat doesnt work anyways... whos gonna get banned
Genuinely. I don't give a damn if someones ban evading I care about what they were doing to get banned in the first place. Fix the exploits and detect the cheats. Spending resources on boping alt accounts is pointless.
I did my over 4 years of insiders last year in September of 2023.
Maybe extend the silver and sapphire blade sets to include new weapons?
A game based on cosmetic progression, and the only actual good cosmetics you can get now cost real money. And now with staggered updates its like were just going back to the monthly updates. A sad state to see my (used to be) favorite game.
Say anything you want about features we don’t yet have, I love this game for what it is. This game is boundless with the fun that you could have. My only complaint is the hackers and rare having a vendetta against certain streamers. …Theb…
I played this game religiously when season 8 came out, chasing my gold skeleton cosmetic, After that everything else just feels so 'meh' There was such a narrative feel, like where were they going to take this Flameheart Vs Ramsay vibe, how would the War affect the islands? How would the story progress? Oh. Nothing happened. Nothing ever happened, ever again. Flameheart came back...and nothing happened. At all.
What is considered as reputation objective for insider? Do I just need to get one reputation from one faction?
@@xxbot it will charge each week
honestly they should stop with seasons all together and do away with this plunder pass bullshit
It's kinda wild how many cheaters there is in this game. Especialy in hourglass.Like seriously I dont play it that much but still meat cheaters consistently when trying it out.
Yesterday on the second match we imediatly encountered flying/teleporting, invicible, aimboting scums laughing and screaming "noobs noobs noobs" like EVERY cheater on any game seem to find funny to do... I guess they are just inflicting to others what was inflected to them when they had no cheat and had to rely on theirs pretty low tier skills 💀.
I know they are doing their best regarding cheats but damn there is too many of them... and if I as a player that dont do hourglass much can meet this many then I'm pretty sure thoses that play it a lot more must suffer.
I think it would be a good idea from the devs to randers the hourglass game mode unacessible until you reach pirate legend status. This way cheaters cannot just make a new account and continue there bullshit. Most game have this kind of system to protect their rank modes and it's not like pirate legend status is very difficult to get 🤷.
Harpoon gun got all updates, except misses still consume ammo
At the end of the day rare is no longer a small company. They have the money and resources to push out consistent WORKING content and they just can’t do it
To me, this season has been disappointing not because of delays but because none of the new content was implemented in a way that was interesting to begin with.
I was hyped for "being able to hide in collector chests" for so long just for disguises to drop in a way that makes them basically useless.
For new content I would rather see something like a new location in the roar, or an improved open crew matchmaker.
Community: *Complains that the game is in a broken state.
Rare: *Withholds features that would make it more broken.
Community: Wait, that's illegal!
I’m not gonna trip too much about this because we all ask them to fix stuff before releasing it, and that’s what they’re doing, but some speculation that maybe a insider knows all of the game breaking stuff but refuse to say anything until last second so rare has to fix that. Idk there are a lot of scumy people so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case
I feel bad that the majority of your content is SoT. Maintaining an audience is gonna get harder and harder.
@@thexan7234 it will be but we'll see how we get on
Server performance somehow getting worse and worse, combat system clunky and weirder than ever, old content rotting away and left to die, seems the game was at a crossroads after Pirates Life. Could either have become a really really successful and big game if they’d enriched a competitive experience in arena and beefed up adventure with new tools and experiences but instead it peaked then with player numbers only getting lower and the wrong content arriving after such a period of hype. What could have been…
Yep, I'm 5 weeks from finishing Insiders and won't bother playing it without new rewards.
When will belle's dress be available to buy!? And so on!
Dude, season 15 will add stuff from season 8, and Belle's Dress was added in season 11, meaning you have to wait until season 18 to buy the dress.
u know what would help insiders if rare actually would not ignore feedback at least thats why i stopped doing it legit back then stuff gets ignored and still ends up in live game
last update i was legitimately excited about was season 8. and even that ended up being terrible. idk who they make these "updates" for. why would i care about some blowpipe and next to useless traps when i can just straight up double gun ppl as well as pve and reach whatever goal i have much faster and easier whether that may be killing players or killing a boss.
But by far the worst season update was when they just added fireworks. second place buried treasure.
As many problems Sea of thieves has there isn't any game even close to what it is its an amazing time playing no matter what happens
I'll never not be salty about being banned from insiders over giving harsh emporium feedback, I played it and actually tested but I cant give feedback anymore
I haven't got to play much at all for the last month due to work and my only controller catching stick drift. I can't be asked to pay another 55 bucks for a controller that'll last 6 months
I don't remember the last time I was exited for Sea of Thieves, I think its time to move on.
After years of questionable quality, one really has to wonder whether Rare is hiring on merit.
Mimic dart is the worst item to be added
@@DumUne-yo3zv if it was added
Why did bro start playing Minecraft music 3:08
So we cannot make hourglass xp anymore
Safer Seas needs to be discouraged after a few hours in the game. The 100% gold is ridiculous. This isn't a single player game. The insiders changes, they can't get anyone to play now, so yes, lets make them actually have to do even more work in order to get those rewards. This is just going to kill Insiders even further.
How about no? Half the game is still locked in Safer Seas including cosmetics paid for.
At this point its really difficult to respect what Rare are saying about the future of the game considering theyve pretty much gone back on every promise they made when the game was in its infancy. I still play the game for the social aspect of getting on with my mates but the game itself is in the worst state its ever been in.
@danhoax1988 that's fair. We play for the social aspect but even that's slowed down since we used to spend ages discussing the story
SIGH I am just gonna complete the Plunder Pass I bought and then maybe shelve the game until Rare does something....Might be a while but my ship is leaking and after i'm done its going to sink...
I had such massive hopes for Flameheart's return, and it was just so underwhelming. Every season has felt less interesting, less engaging, and lately, less cohesive as the game's health degrades.
2025 will just see more OG players leave the game with the communities. 2024 was very rough for the game, sure the PS5 release and bits and bobs of little success, but the playerbase is dwindling down a bit. Season 14 isn't the sole cause, they haven't gotten players back with the Burning Blade either. Also the competitive community that believe it or not had a lot of influence on players have completely died to, with most leaving the game.
Why do everyone like this mimic dart? Fr what is wrong with you guys?... they can't even fix the previous items they added and bugs...
Y'all are down playing how many people quit cause of the blunder buss nerf
The emporium killed this game. This game can't even break 10k player daily peak. Such a shame they focused so much on adding micro transactions and stuffing more content in instead of the health of the game and fixing the old content. And the lag now is so bad.. "Look how they massacred my boy"
In all honesty, the game is not great helth wise. New players often probably get marauded out, and rage quit when they lose 3 hours of progress to mega sweatlords. Seems like everybody that seeks out pvp on the high seas is a sweat. And that makes sense, because the confident in their abilities will seek out others. While the people who have been bullied run from any sails they see. It has never really fully recovered from its launch state, because the resources arent there to do what needs to be done.
The years of small improvements have made the game much better, but the matchmaking could do a better job at not feeding newer folks to people who are lvl 300 in stuff.
I love this game so much. But I'm tired of them feeding us this garbage. They've been singing the same song for nearly 2 years.
People really need to speak up and stop defending their horrible practices. 90% of social media replies are "GOOD JOB THANKS FOR THE TRANSPARENCY" and "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK" and "THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST"
Clearly their best isn't good enough. Their "transparency" is full of bold faced lies and going back on previous things they've stated. And their work isn't good. No other game studio suffers from the problems that Rare claims to have with this game. It's inexcusable. And those that do, don't last long enough to see the light of day.
The game is fun when it works. The problem is it has barely worked at all for 2 years. The same bugs from 2, even 6, years ago exist. They claim to fix something, for it to remain broken in the exact same way.
2022 ended with them saying "DON'T WORRY, 2023 WILL BE A NEW YEAR FOR SEA OF THIEVES AND WE'LL GET BACK TO WHAT WE DO BEST"
2023 ended with them saying "DON'T WORRY, 2024 WILL BE A NEW YEAR FOR SEA OF THIEVES AND WE'LL GET BACK TO WHAT WE DO BEST"
2024 is ending with them saying "DON'T WORRY, 2025 WILL BE A NEW YEAR FOR SEA OF THIEVES AND WE'LL GET BACK TO WHAT WE DO BEST"
They need to do 3 things and 3 things only.
1. ACTUALLY OWN UP to their mistakes and stop feeding us gutter babble PR speak through Drew. Someone in charge come out and admit your faults and wrongdoings.
2. Stop making new content. Period. And. FIX. THE. GAME.
3. Remove the Insiders NDA so that creators and players can openly discuss the game and any changes to it, without the fear of being banned.
Is it the team? Is it the game? I say remake the whole damn thing better so things actually work. Take the time hire a fk japanese dev I don't care re make it so it works. Fkn Microsoft is ruining rare
i think i might just quit sot at this point.
The game has gone to crap
Same story with every game i play. Stop whining everyone. It is still a great game. Some people cry even before the games come out. Talking about true negativity. This comment is not about the video above. It is about the crying people. 😊 There are entire channels about Battlefield bashing the game for 3 years. Grown men like to moan together hahaha
I miss launch... It was boring, good times.
After around 6 years i think thry really need to move on from SOT, it was fun but recently its just been disappointing, a new game or sequel on better tech would be better at this point
Whats worse about the mimic dart situation is that they even added the achievements for it like the mischief commendations but we cant complete them becuase theres no mimic dart
I am down for firing the ENTIRE dev team, having a 6 months of no updates as long as they can fix the game. Also almost all of these updates are just complete shit.

The Harpoon Gun should have never come to the game it ruined the game for me now nobody wants to ship battle they just want to board your ship with the dumb Harpoon Gun I hope they're happy that they destroyed the game Pirates do naval battle not shoot from cannons and zipline across each other's ship
What game are you playing?
Harpoon gun boards only ever work against galleons and even then it's pretty easy to just pay attention and kill them. Remember they're down a weapon slot. No sword=sword lord em. Or just blunder bus them.
If they land a deck shot just pay attention appreciate the hecken shot they landed and kill em.
Tldr; skill issue.
Given how much time is spent going after theb, krud, and noobface, I just hope this change to catching alt accounts doesn't just get bypassed by hackers immediately. People like theb should stay banned but holy shit if this change is just to prevent this small group of players from coming back, I'll start campaigning to just straight up remove hour glass. It's still unplayable and we need fixes to catch and remove hackers. Not groups of people that rare hate for one reason or another.
they'll add it, it'll make the game perform worse, and then people will be able to bypass it with ease anyway
I feel like stream sniping a person once back in arena shouldn't justify rare having a dedicated person monitoring his streams to ban em. Especially since noobs ban was false anyways.

Streamers are being starved - no good twitch drops, no real advancement of the lore, endless levels of hype for updates that then come out delayed or broken. I have seen so many of them switch to other games and yet there seems to be no concern about this from the devs, despite content creators being their primary tool for getting players interested in the game. Its turning into a toxic and highly one sided relationship now, though. Its a painful thing to watch, for sure.
