In case it wasnt obvious, the script and narrative for this video was recorded a good while back, aka before the hunters call announcement (called it) and the safer seas price and level cap changes :) Forgot to add the text for those moments to clarify!
Another idea: A creepy pitch black underground or cave tunnel system. This would be a labyrinth you could only see if using lanterns or by lighting torches/fires. These depths would be infamous as the most terrifying PvE part of the map, with a sinister creature(s) like a soul stealer or something of the sort. Hard to kill, full of jump scares, eery sounds, it would feel like a dark Indiana Jones dungeon adventure. In the depths of the darkness, a highly valued treasure would spawn in random places, making the search different each time. If a competing crew were to show up and enter through a different passageway, things could get really intense (especially with the mimic dart). Just a thought; no lore even required.
Absolutely LOVE the floating turtle island idea, and whirlpools would be really fun. And yeah weapon and outfit presets are an absolute must. Awesome ideas all around!
Ay, appreciate it man. HMU on discord when you get the chance, I haven't worked it out completely yet but i have an interview series that I'm thinking of doing for Pirate Legends eventually.
I'm kinda new to the game, started with s14. It's so annoying that the game just says which comms you need but doesn't bring them out for you. Also a 'recently earned' would be awesome because some things just pop up and I have no idea what I got and how to find them.
Awesome ideas, i was leery clicking a SoT idea video from a smaller channel (ive been burned in the past) but every suggestion you made I really liked 100%. Great ideas and great video, Rare needs to see this!!
Personally I would love to see whale hunting where you have to have a solid team and solid harpoon shoot placement and then maybe like a world event with moby dick or something would be awesome. I think also making the world feel more alive, more visible animals like you said and so on would be amazing and then maybe a just hourglass game tab that take you straight into a fight with a fully stocked up ship, with everything equal so it’s a even playing field. For pvp, hour glass I would also LOVE to see the ring shrink and maybe a royal mode if done properly? Like 3v3..1v1.. 4v4. And lastly, a bigger friendly ship that doesn’t look a fireball that can fight that ship or something would be awesome as well!
Whale hunting definitely could be interesting. A friend of mine has been wanting that for ages, too. Its kind of got a brutal history . That's the only thing that im like a little concerned about 😅
I also like your idea of multiple ship hourglass, arena mode was a thing at some point but not.many players played it back then, maybe they can reinvent it and make something better next time!
@@Howlslog for sure! I also always thought it would be super neat to see like a crafting mechanic added to the game, or like defend and customize your own personal fort would be so badass and it would strictly focus on gun play and pvp.. like dualing or something and also allows players to work towards something other then their ships
Love all your idea. Want to see fishing nets, holiday trinkets, npcs at outposts, guild hideouts, pelican pets, no reload harpoon that's in inventory with bucket ect. More decorations to match ship sets. Companions to help you. Loading docks. Food for breathing underwater. Harpoon at reapers. Sleep, grog freeze darts. Ability to lock enemy in brig. Lighthouses, plugging holes with food for slight fix.
Most of you're ideas are pvpers nightmare. And the being able to shoot out of the cannon while holding items? Like a keg cuz that's what's coming to uoure ship.
The ice biome is what I dream about since day one of playing sea of thieves. The stories about sailors who raced to be the first at the poles are too interesting to simply ignore them and not add something like this in the game ABOUT PIRATES AND SAILORS.
Oooh that could be interesting, although i somehow doubt they would implement an area thats locked off like that, would kind of be going against the open seas concept we have now 🤔
Absolutely!!! Like i understand why they made the selling there harder, because you get so much more, but damn they need to make it at least a little better because its just brutal right now 😂
@Howlslog I don't think so, devs said about it on the podcast, it's why a pirates life and monkey Island use portals because the server wouldn't be able to handle it.
That was my first thought, but it just seems more fitting for it to be on the opposite side of the firey hell. The game map doesn't have to replicate the real world.
This is true, but its not exactly the most efficient for getting loot in and out quickly, although i suppose i never tried loading up a vaults loot into one right off the bat 🤔 wonder how well that actually works
Another thing about the ice biome if it gets added hopefully they would add ice biome voyages like a ice biome vault similar to the ashen types of voyages just imagine a icy athena chest that would be awesome.
Absolutely! Having quests and voyages fitting to the biomes theme would be great. I didn't go into much depth in this video but i could def make a whole video just on the potential content for the biome 😆
Yeah, you have to use a captain ship to be able to use sovereigns, so it would be nice if they let players do that in safer seas, even if its just for the sovereign access only
@@Howlslog yeahh let us, people like me who really love sea of thieves and think its a beautiful game and world dont think pvp be in a beutiful game, so people who me just wanted to chill and see the sunset and sunrise without get sunk and player gonna destroy the feeling
Fuckin wheelbarells yes hella easy for loot transfer, i hate when im carrying something and i see a chest on the other end and i cant bulk transfer loot without a rowboat, you need something on land
I love your suggestions! As someone who's currently grinding for the Legendary Hunter of the Sea of thieves Title, I would love if they disable the mouse wheel while using the fishing rod. Too many times I`ve lost a rare variant of a fish because it barely Touched my mouse Wheel.
In my opinion they should add another matchmaking system. Like the one before hourglass, hourglass isn’t very fair and for solos it’s tedious. They need more in game rewards and less buyables. They need to add a new area and new voyages. I love this game but the last year they’ve made very bad choices in my opinion.
These ideas are interesting, but as the devs have said, they already maxed out the game and are struggling to add more content. I feel these ideas would be too big for them to add given the space struggles they are facing.
@CreaturesCanada i only really mentioned 2 big ones, which were the island and biome, which fair def pretty large scale, the island is cool but i really don't see it actually happening, but i dont see how making a favorites skins page or loadouts in the outfit page would be an issue :)
I agree on most but idk if polar bears and penguins would fit the game but penguins as pets might be cool though. I also don't think wheelbarrows or the turtle island would fit the game either and the ice throwable sounds too overpowered
That is understandable, ice throwable would be more of an inconvenience is how i saw it, im not talking about having to hit it many times, im thinking more like one to 2 sword slices for example, so in the middle of battle it would just be another thing to keep in mind of 🤔 why do you not think the wheelbarrow would fit the game? If you look around outposts you can already find wheebarrows within the world and rare keeps adding features to speed up thr loot gathering, so personally this feels like the next step to me 😊
@@Howlslog Oh well in that case ice throwables sound good and with the wheelbarrow I was imagining like a modern metal one which is why I thought it wouldn't fit the game. I'm also not sure if the loot gathering has to be sped up rn anyway because things like diving and harpoons automatically dropping loot is already in the game. That said though on some of the biggest islands (plunder valley, old faithful isle) it can be painful as a solo player when all the dig spots are spread out and there's no clear place to harpoon loot from so I'm torn
The game def has some atability issues, but ivw never actually experienced anything crazy myself yet outside of like the water and ships being so out of sink that you cant catch the ladder because the ship is just floating so high up 😆
To make the game enjoyable again, they need to get rid of the anti-cheat and come up with whole new idea to keep hackers off the game. The Easy Anti-Cheat only invited more cheaters, by the thousands. The game isn't fun because of them.
Ive only had one cheater interaction after 500 hours in the game (and it was in hourglass) I understand there are a lot of them in there basically nowhere else, but the game is really not focused around that one little mode thankfully. Still should get fixed, tho. i saw they were working on some new system for banning alt accounts? Hopefully, this deals with cheaters that keep coming back
@tehpoison yours don't save? I've never had the issue. I believe resetting to default and then doing them again and saving was a trick that solved that for the few ppl that had it, i could be wrong about the exact method tho
I love all of the ideas but I completely disagree with the safer seas changes I think you shouldn’t get gold at all from it and safer seas should only be used for tall tales because this is a pvpve game the only reason for you to be on safer seas is if you are doing a tall tale since it’s just the story mode of the game
Ooh ice fishing could be fun, probably would be a fitting location for whale hunting as well. I know a lot of people have been wanting something like that
I love most of those ideas. However shrinking circle in HG wouldn't resolve running. In fact it would lead to even more running. This would give people with less skill a chance of winning with one lucky attempt in the end.
@@Howlslog it would give them another reason to run, a reward. Run for a bit, wait, and attack when the zone is close, try to get enemy out, bait for a mistake.
For your storm idea, what about the option to 'bind' your wheel with rope, locking it in place. This was done occasionally back in pirate times. Also this video might have been done a while ago. You now get 100% of gold in safer seas. But what if you can use the soverigns, but they take 20% off the top? You COULD take each item to the correct place, or you can use soverigns and pay a 'fee'
Yah the script and audio was record a while ago, drawing all the concept art and ui changes took a lot longer than expected 😅 i should have mentioned that in the video. I personally would absolutely pay the fee at sovereigns, the time save is worth it
Yeah, when i wrote the script and started working on this video, they haven't done the update for the new 25 cap or even the announcement for hunters call. lol just goes to show how long it took 😂
At this point, they need to start making SoT 2. They can't keep adding stuff to a game that is bursting at the seems with performance issues. We need to be realistic with expectations at this point.
So I don't mean this in a negative way but they have already said the game is at maximum capacity at all times all they can do is continue trying to work on its performance for that and they wanted to include island sized creatures for big world events like the floating turtle but they just don't have the capacity to implement something like that into the game right now
Hourglass is a very small part of the game, and most players who play sea of thieves barely touch it, and it is where 95%+ of hackers are found.. so ngl this is not an issue i concern myself with, dont get me wrong, it would be a good fix, but i got over 500 hours of sot, and only once hacker experience that lasted like 3 minutes so, cant say im that worried about those losers 😆
The thing with favorite weapons, is it's a good idea, probs one they are working on, but isn't easy to implement currently, something that would be easier on their end and somewhat be a similar idea, let us 'equip' weapon skins regardless of what we are carrying, and have it default to that when switching weapons, sorta like how we can have different instrument skins. You'd still only get one favorite/skin at once, but I'd imagine they could actually implement it without a big changes internally. Here's hoping they figure out favorites so we can have easy outfits and loadouts on the go
I dont see why it would be difficult to implement, we have the tab mechanic for the favorites tab and a favorited skins mechanic for ships already. Idc personally about the skins themselves. The issue is when you get more skins, the pages get clogged, so if you have to quickly swap to a different loadout, you lose seconds searching through the list. which in pvp scenarios basically means you losing the advantage you may have had.
all soild ideas, of things that would make the game more enjoyable for all players not just PVPers, i know theres a huge arguement for the fact that the game is a PVP based game but honestly for me its a RPG with PVP aspects and as someone that actually hates PVP (yes im crap at it, and i also have mental health issues that make conflict abborant) i welcomed the safer seas update and abiltity to just sail with friends and not worry that the npcs are going to cheat or revert to childish petty bullying.. i do think the abiltiy to add multiple ships to a Private lobby or even the highseas, *though honestly i can see this getting out of hand with the toxic side of the player base.. at least it would give players the chance to defend on multiple fronts against onslaughts from the PVP.. (like everything in life .if it can be used for good, it can just as easily be used for negative) i would like to use my brought/Guild ships in safer seas and have the milestones count .. cause really what does it matter if i earn them here or in highseas? it doesnt give me anything that makes a difference .. all boats are equal (ie you cant stack more guns, or upgrade hull strength.. and money only buys cosmetics? so why do restrictions in safer seas affect highseas players? if you cant sail against PVP players, having all the milestones and money wont change your skills. you will die just as quick .. again for me remove the faction rank progress restrictions on safer seas.(maybe keep reapers for PVP and make them geared more to PVP) add more NPC threats if you want to make the "voyages" more hazardous for players .. NPC pirate ships.. etc.. i dunno thats just my thoughts i know a lot of the community is deadset against the saferseas.. but honestly it brought me back to playing the game when i had given up because of toxic behaviour..
Honestly, think about it the limitations on high seas are definitely rough, the money in the game is literally only there for cosmetics. I think things like that definitely shouldnt be limited, but on the other hand, certain commendations should be. Sovereign use is a must tho 😂 the reason players get on safer seas is to have a chill game, to have that get ruined by a long and boring selling mechanic is just mean
Ah yes, an ice biome in a tropical land. I want a pirate game. Not a winter game. I rather have more Shores of plenty islands then anything ice. I'll never understand why people want something that's so drastically different. It doesn't fit the theme or the idea of Sea of Thieves. It's like people who want Safer Seas to be giving everything that High Seas does but with none of the trouble. It's counter to what the game is and doesn't make sense to do with how the game is set up.
Its a sea themed game filled with, walking skeletons, phantom ships, giant sharks, mermaids and krakens, its really odd that so many players for some reasom want to draw a line at the accuracy of the geography im a video game xD
@@Howlslog It's a pirate themed game. You don't seem to understand that many people want just that. The age of pirates is made in the tropical islands, not the snowy north. I don't understand how you think adding that instead of more normal islands will do anything. I would be ok with a tall tail. But to have the land randomly shift into snow will do nothing but break the immersion the game has. The Skeletons, Phantoms, sharks, and kraken are all old naval stories told to sailors. If you're making a game about pirates it's and brainer to have. I bet you the snow area would turn out like the wilds in the end. A place no one goes to willingly. Because it's so counter to the rest of the map. You can't just throw stuff at a wall and think "this will surely fit". I do agree we need more content. But not content that doesn't make the theme of the rest of the game. That'll just make the players think the devs have run out of ideas and no longer know what to add so they're just grabbing at straws
I would like training packs. Something like the tall tails. Sail through the rocks and a challenge awaits. Sailing through rings or hitting targets. Would be fun for the speed run community. Maybe even make it a safer seas thing like each outpost has different challenges like the morrows peak with volcanoes
No to ice bombs, i nearly got sick when you recommended ice bomb being able to freeze ship parts. take bonecallers out of Hourglass and make pirate legend a pre-requisite to be able to dive to get rid of cheaters. Safer seas was never meant to be a consistent SoT experience, its a learning tool to help get to the main servers. And there is no way you haven't experienced the general lag throught youre adventures. Most of these ideas are add more stuff. Lets go for the performance first! I mostly play hourglass and just want the game to play better.
@DukeBirdington hourglass que times are going to skyrocket even more with a change like that xD ive experienced some general lag, very rarely, and in most cases, never was that incontinent for me personally. But performance improvements is always good no matter the stage the game is in.
1) Or dont buy so many weapon skins and buy the ones you "want" or will use. 2) By god, this request was asked for WAY before Ship saving was asked. Why is it taking so long?! 3) Yeah, because traveling loot is such a chore.....Lazy Pirates. We already can run with small items and carry a harpoon gun. 4) Quick sail? Is it that difficult to click Set Sail for you guys? 5) We dont need ICE islands... It be like DR, another empty zone nobody visits because of reasons. 6) Hunters Call is already having a Major update...it been known about for 3 months. 7) Nobody thinks about the shrinking zone. You do know, we often spawn next to Large islands, and if that shrinking area cuts off both pirates....What then. 8) SS is already easy enough. You dont need to be able to Sell quickly, because there no need too. Why you selling quickly? What the point of having the 3 faction tents at this point? 9) Drop....Anchor in a storm and wait it out. Heck, a tiny hole in a storm isnt enough to sink you. Storms are not horrible, just bad sailors. 10) SS with Multiple ships. So..Safer Seas becomes a PvE server now. Which Rare said NO.
1. You always find new cool skins you like when new ones are made, and the old skins pile up. 3. It is a chore, spending time just to move a bunch of chests is not what i want to be doing in the game. 4. 10 clicks vs 1 click 😂 ill def take the 1 click if its available, specially since those 10 clicks can take a long time sometimes, but thats a server issue 😅 5. The reason ppl dont go to the devils roar is because of the volcanos, and if you add good enough content to the new zone i dont see why players wouldnt want to go there. 5. Wrote the script for this vid way before the announcements or safe seas changes, forgot to add the text explaining in the vid. 10. Just because rare said no, doesnt mean players dont still want it, same way there are still players wanting the return of arena, even tho that game mode had such a tiny player base 😅
These ideas aren't new. Streamers , crews, and friends have been speaking of these things for years except the turtle. A raid boss if a sea creature however is common
In case it wasnt obvious, the script and narrative for this video was recorded a good while back, aka before the hunters call announcement (called it) and the safer seas price and level cap changes :) Forgot to add the text for those moments to clarify!

Just a thought; no lore even required.
I agree on all that QoL suggestions, bro. Finally someone mentioned how many clicks it takes just to sail!
I absolutely hate it 😆
to make the game great again, they gotta fix the performance
Honestly, I have had very few performance issues in this game. The times that i have it was barely an issue 😂😅
It's more like a bug problem than a performance one, they should fix the game instead of adding new stuff and keeping it broken
Yah the few bugs here and there could def use some work xD took them ages to get rid of the cannon fishing rod launch lol
Absolutely LOVE the floating turtle island idea, and whirlpools would be really fun. And yeah weapon and outfit presets are an absolute must. Awesome ideas all around!
Ay, appreciate it man. HMU on discord when you get the chance, I haven't worked it out completely yet but i have an interview series that I'm thinking of doing for Pirate Legends eventually.

The only issue is that sea of thieves takes place in the Caribbean and an ice region would make so little sense.
Ice in the West Indies.... Yeah, great idea 🙄🙄
Yeah I agree! Total Pirate Domination!
To make the ice biome late game they could add a ice breaker and the ice biome could be where their is hunters calls voyages and quests
Oooh that could be interesting, although i somehow doubt they would implement an area thats locked off like that, would kind of be going against the open seas concept we have now 🤔
4:20 season 15 is confirmed to be hunters call update
Yeah, when i wrote the script for this video, it wasn't announced yet xD
We need wheelbarrows on Reapers.
Absolutely!!! Like i understand why they made the selling there harder, because you get so much more, but damn they need to make it at least a little better because its just brutal right now 😂
@Howlslog Before, it was fine, but now they're being out done by the sovereigns and can't compare to the harpoons.
2:08 did you know that sea of thieves is literally tropical so there isn't any way for a ice biome, and if there was one it would probably melt
new biome/more islands is kinda impossible due to server limitations
You think so? Unfortunate :(
@Howlslog I don't think so, devs said about it on the podcast, it's why a pirates life and monkey Island use portals because the server wouldn't be able to handle it.
Dude I keep coming back to this, such a great idea. I hope rare considers the majority of these ideas :)
Only time will tell 😊
The Dolphin could speed up your ship a little bit
Idk about a ship speed mechanic, but having a dolphin help you get to shore like in Minecraft could be fun. Bet tuckers would love that feature 😆
Dont you mean ice biome to the north lol
That was my first thought, but it just seems more fitting for it to be on the opposite side of the firey hell. The game map doesn't have to replicate the real world.
0:45 we got harpoon rowboats!
This is true, but its not exactly the most efficient for getting loot in and out quickly, although i suppose i never tried loading up a vaults loot into one right off the bat 🤔 wonder how well that actually works

FINALLY! SOVEREIGN IN SAFER SEAS, thats was you best ideas ever
I really dk why its not a thing already, forcing people to run around and sell loot is rough

Absolutely, doing gold hoarder vaults as a solo is so slow...
Your QoL ideas are great. I've wondered why all of these aren't standard features in the game. WHY CANT I SAVE COSMETIC LOADOUTS
@sheldonsalem-galambos8865 appreciate it 🙏 its def a feature that really needs to be added and shouldn't be so damn difficult to
i agree with most of your ideas exept the ice area we are in the carribean why would there be an ice area

a note about the storm and the cutlass, should make it where it would strike the helm with lightning since the cutlass is metal
Great point!

Getting rid of cosmetics? How come, and which ones did you have in mind 🤔
They should put a keg launcher on the boats 😂

I love most of those ideas. However shrinking circle in HG wouldn't resolve running. In fact it would lead to even more running. This would give people with less skill a chance of winning with one lucky attempt in the end.
How would a shrinking zone help the runners?
@@Howlslog it would give them another reason to run, a reward. Run for a bit, wait, and attack when the zone is close, try to get enemy out, bait for a mistake.
Amazing!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
For your storm idea, what about the option to 'bind' your wheel with rope, locking it in place. This was done occasionally back in pirate times.
Also this video might have been done a while ago. You now get 100% of gold in safer seas. But what if you can use the soverigns, but they take 20% off the top? You COULD take each item to the correct place, or you can use soverigns and pay a 'fee'
Yah the script and audio was record a while ago, drawing all the concept art and ui changes took a lot longer than expected 😅 i should have mentioned that in the video. I personally would absolutely pay the fee at sovereigns, the time save is worth it
@@Howlslog absolutely. People play safer seas for the chill. 20% wouldn't even bother me if it turned half an hour into 5 minutes
@@gaza102289 Exactly!
Safer seas actually get you 100% gold now.
Yeah, when i wrote the script and started working on this video, they haven't done the update for the new 25 cap or even the announcement for hunters call. lol just goes to show how long it took 😂
At this point, they need to start making SoT 2. They can't keep adding stuff to a game that is bursting at the seems with performance issues. We need to be realistic with expectations at this point.
Yeah, the whole season 14.5 fiasco was wild 😆
So I don't mean this in a negative way but they have already said the game is at maximum capacity at all times all they can do is continue trying to work on its performance for that and they wanted to include island sized creatures for big world events like the floating turtle but they just don't have the capacity to implement something like that into the game right now
Hmm, surely they could figure out a way to make the servers worl more efficiently 🤔
YES! Playerhub at Seadogs thats what I need to be happy
Outside of just it being fun to have a place to chill and chat, it would be such a huge time saver for me in terms of content creation xD
@@Howlslog hahah, I can imagine :D
Ice curs would be sick
There is another youtuber that made a video for different skeletom curses. If i remember correctly @SkeletonBroSOT i think 🤔
Ashen dragon boss fight in the devils roar plz
I'm not sure how well a dragon would fit into the world 🤔 how would that fight even look like i wonder 😆
@@Howlslog think they mean the Ashen Dragon vessel. Like the one from the tall tale
@mulgra ahh, okay fair fair
To fix this game the rare have to fix EC anti cheat just this, no add other shit
Hourglass is a very small part of the game, and most players who play sea of thieves barely touch it, and it is where 95%+ of hackers are found.. so ngl this is not an issue i concern myself with, dont get me wrong, it would be a good fix, but i got over 500 hours of sot, and only once hacker experience that lasted like 3 minutes so, cant say im that worried about those losers 😆
Fix hit reg
Hit reg is pretty terrible sometimes
Bring back multiple ship fights on seadog taverns xd
I missed out on the arena, so i definitely would like a mode like that just to try at least 😂
The thing with favorite weapons, is it's a good idea, probs one they are working on, but isn't easy to implement currently, something that would be easier on their end and somewhat be a similar idea, let us 'equip' weapon skins regardless of what we are carrying, and have it default to that when switching weapons, sorta like how we can have different instrument skins. You'd still only get one favorite/skin at once, but I'd imagine they could actually implement it without a big changes internally. Here's hoping they figure out favorites so we can have easy outfits and loadouts on the go
I dont see why it would be difficult to implement, we have the tab mechanic for the favorites tab and a favorited skins mechanic for ships already. Idc personally about the skins themselves. The issue is when you get more skins, the pages get clogged, so if you have to quickly swap to a different loadout, you lose seconds searching through the list. which in pvp scenarios basically means you losing the advantage you may have had.
4:18 I have fantastic news for you
Check pinned comment 😂
@@Howlslog mb pimp
@TKGaming7750 no its all good, either way im excited to see what they do lol
Sadly new biomes are out of the question because the map is already big and adding more would cause lag
Hmm, maybe you are right, lots games manage to have much larger maps, so maybe they can rework it to not lag as much 🤔
all soild ideas, of things that would make the game more enjoyable for all players not just PVPers, i know theres a huge arguement for the fact that the game is a PVP based game but honestly for me its a RPG with PVP aspects and as someone that actually hates PVP (yes im crap at it, and i also have mental health issues that make conflict abborant) i welcomed the safer seas update and abiltity to just sail with friends and not worry that the npcs are going to cheat or revert to childish petty bullying.. i do think the abiltiy to add multiple ships to a Private lobby or even the highseas, *though honestly i can see this getting out of hand with the toxic side of the player base.. at least it would give players the chance to defend on multiple fronts against onslaughts from the PVP.. (like everything in life .if it can be used for good, it can just as easily be used for negative) i would like to use my brought/Guild ships in safer seas and have the milestones count .. cause really what does it matter if i earn them here or in highseas? it doesnt give me anything that makes a difference .. all boats are equal (ie you cant stack more guns, or upgrade hull strength.. and money only buys cosmetics? so why do restrictions in safer seas affect highseas players? if you cant sail against PVP players, having all the milestones and money wont change your skills. you will die just as quick .. again for me remove the faction rank progress restrictions on safer seas.(maybe keep reapers for PVP and make them geared more to PVP) add more NPC threats if you want to make the "voyages" more hazardous for players .. NPC pirate ships.. etc.. i dunno thats just my thoughts i know a lot of the community is deadset against the saferseas.. but honestly it brought me back to playing the game when i had given up because of toxic behaviour..
Honestly, think about it the limitations on high seas are definitely rough, the money in the game is literally only there for cosmetics. I think things like that definitely shouldnt be limited, but on the other hand, certain commendations should be. Sovereign use is a must tho 😂 the reason players get on safer seas is to have a chill game, to have that get ruined by a long and boring selling mechanic is just mean
The video title is gonna have the Sot snowflakes freaking out 😂
Looking forward to it 😂
rare should pin these quality of life ideas + dueling crew mates on their roadmap!
@@fuchslochtv i really hope they do as well!
If someone knows a rare dev or someone affiliated to rare please dm them with this 😅
We will see how it goes, some of these ideas are def out there, but dueling and favorite skins i just must have!!!
yeah thanks save the time to sell to the sovereign, i gonna follow you channel for that word
Appreciate it!
@ welcome!
If Trump was in Sea of Thieves😂
Ahaha, yah kind of wanted to make the title recognizable. Hopefully it doesnt come back and bite me with political hate comments 😂
@ yhea, people today in the comments it's literally wars
Yah i myself am working on just, not responding. Rage bait is so real tho 😆
Ah yes, an ice biome in a tropical land. I want a pirate game. Not a winter game. I rather have more Shores of plenty islands then anything ice. I'll never understand why people want something that's so drastically different. It doesn't fit the theme or the idea of Sea of Thieves. It's like people who want Safer Seas to be giving everything that High Seas does but with none of the trouble. It's counter to what the game is and doesn't make sense to do with how the game is set up.
Its a sea themed game filled with, walking skeletons, phantom ships, giant sharks, mermaids and krakens, its really odd that so many players for some reasom want to draw a line at the accuracy of the geography im a video game xD
@@Howlslog It's a pirate themed game. You don't seem to understand that many people want just that. The age of pirates is made in the tropical islands, not the snowy north. I don't understand how you think adding that instead of more normal islands will do anything. I would be ok with a tall tail. But to have the land randomly shift into snow will do nothing but break the immersion the game has. The Skeletons, Phantoms, sharks, and kraken are all old naval stories told to sailors. If you're making a game about pirates it's and brainer to have. I bet you the snow area would turn out like the wilds in the end. A place no one goes to willingly. Because it's so counter to the rest of the map. You can't just throw stuff at a wall and think "this will surely fit".
I do agree we need more content. But not content that doesn't make the theme of the rest of the game. That'll just make the players think the devs have run out of ideas and no longer know what to add so they're just grabbing at straws
I would like training packs. Something like the tall tails. Sail through the rocks and a challenge awaits. Sailing through rings or hitting targets. Would be fun for the speed run community. Maybe even make it a safer seas thing like each outpost has different challenges like the morrows peak with volcanoes
Ooh interesting, they already do have a parkpour spot on one of the islands, which i guess is now basically pointless with the grappel gun 😂😅
@@Howlslog Grapple gun parkour would be cool
@@QSOLOsRL OOOOH that could be pretty interesting... either have to grapple to a spot, or be able to grapple and then land to a spot below, for sure.
W video
Thank you 😊
MAKE RARE SEEING THIS VIDEO
I'm really glad the community isn't in charge of development sometimes
Most of these changes is just him yapping about random aspects of the game
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion 👋
@SeaOfThieves
Rare PLEASE
We shall see what happens xD
Sea of Thieves map is inspired by the Caribbean where in the Caribbean do you have snow and icy islands...
Where in the caribbean do you have giant sharks, krakens, mermaids, giant crabs, walking skeletons, and phantoms? Such an odd argument 😆
No to ice bombs, i nearly got sick when you recommended ice bomb being able to freeze ship parts. take bonecallers out of Hourglass and make pirate legend a pre-requisite to be able to dive to get rid of cheaters. Safer seas was never meant to be a consistent SoT experience, its a learning tool to help get to the main servers. And there is no way you haven't experienced the general lag throught youre adventures. Most of these ideas are add more stuff. Lets go for the performance first! I mostly play hourglass and just want the game to play better.
@DukeBirdington hourglass que times are going to skyrocket even more with a change like that xD ive experienced some general lag, very rarely, and in most cases, never was that incontinent for me personally. But performance improvements is always good no matter the stage the game is in.
1) Or dont buy so many weapon skins and buy the ones you "want" or will use.
2) By god, this request was asked for WAY before Ship saving was asked. Why is it taking so long?!
3) Yeah, because traveling loot is such a chore.....Lazy Pirates. We already can run with small items and carry a harpoon gun.
4) Quick sail? Is it that difficult to click Set Sail for you guys?
5) We dont need ICE islands... It be like DR, another empty zone nobody visits because of reasons.
6) Hunters Call is already having a Major update...it been known about for 3 months.
7) Nobody thinks about the shrinking zone. You do know, we often spawn next to Large islands, and if that shrinking area cuts off both pirates....What then.
8) SS is already easy enough. You dont need to be able to Sell quickly, because there no need too. Why you selling quickly? What the point of having the 3 faction tents at this point?
9) Drop....Anchor in a storm and wait it out. Heck, a tiny hole in a storm isnt enough to sink you. Storms are not horrible, just bad sailors.
10) SS with Multiple ships. So..Safer Seas becomes a PvE server now. Which Rare said NO.
1. You always find new cool skins you like when new ones are made, and the old skins pile up.
3. It is a chore, spending time just to move a bunch of chests is not what i want to be doing in the game.
4. 10 clicks vs 1 click 😂 ill def take the 1 click if its available, specially since those 10 clicks can take a long time sometimes, but thats a server issue 😅
5. The reason ppl dont go to the devils roar is because of the volcanos, and if you add good enough content to the new zone i dont see why players wouldnt want to go there.
5. Wrote the script for this vid way before the announcements or safe seas changes, forgot to add the text explaining in the vid.
10. Just because rare said no, doesnt mean players dont still want it, same way there are still players wanting the return of arena, even tho that game mode had such a tiny player base 😅
MSGA 2025!!!
Put that on a hat 😂
All dumb
Okay 👍
These ideas aren't new. Streamers , crews, and friends have been speaking of these things for years except the turtle. A raid boss if a sea creature however is common
Okay? what's your point?
Also sus content. Wonder if ypu had an nde you could be violating fir likes
sus content? what do you mean
