Including cross-region matchmaking, a note about Sunday's Showcase trailer and the start of work towards increasing Sea of Thieves' maximum FOV from 90 to 110, it can only be Developer Update time! Join Production Director Drew Stevens in the tavern for all the details:
@TheJackieB@SeaOfThieves No because I’m not wasting my time and energy trying to cancel people. Just weird how u don’t show the same energy with partners who have done far worse things than “be negative”
@S0nicbob Can you comment on if matchmaking changed recerntly? I’ve noticed it’s been much harder to match certain accounts when we are trying to fight other crews boats, to the point where if they leave we can instantly get a match.
@theSotEnjoyer@Wermux Sot partners not matching alts in HG has nothing to do with rare employees having their own servers 💀
2 completely separate points.
@MakEhOh@Fi1es@PushinWood13 It should’ve been every player got the “safer stamp” treatment, but maybe the hotfix has reverted this, including partners too bu accident? That’s my guess.
@MakEhOh@Fi1es@PushinWood13 Safer stamps for partners has been in the game for a while now. The bar for it was SUPER low, as some still newish accounts could match.
Don’t quote me on it but I’m pretty sure the reason for HG breaking was rare further adjusting matchmaking for ALL players in the patch.
@waumpers This isn’t a method this is just loss farming/win trading? Also if they patch alt f4 because of this every single pvp player is about to hate you 💀💀 alt f4 is how ppl spiked servers all the time for tdms, it’s not any new tech.
@S0nicbob The amount of players this appeases and combats .pak file usage seems like an overall win for the game. Are there some serious disadvantage of increasing the slider to the game or just something the team hasn’t felt belonged in sot?
