@wesleybryangolf @grok It's been genuinely enjoyable content thus far. The format is entertaining and unique. I have to watch it in chunks, but I can't wait for the next installment! It complements the current professional leagues very nicely IMO. Nice change of pace to the Th-Sun format we're used to.

@S0nicbob The CoF spawn rate in anything but the Fleet of Fortune (not sure if that's supposed to be in the game still or not?) seems pretty low; low enough that I worry the potential excitement is going to die off rather quickly. Haven't seen one yet (outside of the FLoF).

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@supermariopla11 @SeaOfThieves That's...that's not what's causing server performance to suck. Like at all.

Preventing expansion of the game, maybe. But not server issues. If anything, high end PCs with uncapped FPS and/or max graphics cause more server strain. But even that isn't the underlying issue.

@S0nicbob Trying to extend the Weekender to an entire week would "see different issues surface"... Like what?

Without elaboration, it just comes across as a dismissal of our most overwhelming concern with the Weekender event.

If there would be genuine issues, we'd love to hear them.

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@thwacknicklaus Just make a lot of interior OB areas. There's so few trees and hazards lining the fairways that spraying it 350 off the tee and missing the fairway (and rough) has no penalty. Make it OB. FORCE accuracy.

@LarryBones18 @KingHotdogPig Here's the thing. They couldn't EARN doubloons participating in the weekender either because they were over the cap. So, even if they elected to not buy the stuff as you suggest, their doubloons would now be actually reset and they would have missed out on the cosmetics anyways

@SeaOfThieves Calendars have dates on them. Whatever device you're using to send your messages almost certainly has a calendar on it. Just like, look at one and tell us the dates that correspond to whatever you're trying to tell the community.

@Captain_Falcore I feel like at least part of the problem is the clickbait every time there's a pirate game that comes out and it's like "WiLl ThIs SeNd SoT tO dAvEy JoNeS?!?ZOMG!!11" when the games clearly are nothing alike other than the fact that they have pirates in them.

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@flotsamtv Could they have created a fourth currency counter mixed in with the rest of this spaghetti code nonsense instead of just wiping and reusing doubloons? Yeah probably. Would that have at least had the potential to make the game feel/perform worse? Yeah probably.

@LordWhisperr @_xxItsRxx_ You said "it says in big bold letters that it will return permanently". It literally doesn't say the word "permanently" at all. If anything, I read it as we will bring these back in a time limited fashion in the future. Like Fight Nights or the old Fort Nights or something.

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@LordWhisperr @_xxItsRxx_ No. It doesn't. It says, "While this experience is currently time-limited for Act 2 of Season 19, this experience will be added to our ever-growing pile of time-limited events, such as The Heist or Molten Sands Fortress, and we plan to bring these back in the future!"

@SeaOfThieves A title. A simple title. How hard would that have been?

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@Fi1es Left on D-pad. Food on RB. Throwables Up on D-pad. Spyglass on Right Stick.

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@Noobface Hahahahaha the harpoon blunder is so desynced! That should be embarrassing why on earth would they put that in a promotional video 🤣🤣

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@Noobface Like I could come up with half a dozen solutions to the stated "problem" that would feel better and better solve the "problem" than the garbage they put out there.

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@Noobface I won't comment on it because I want to keep my access, but I just wish they would actually come up with solutions to the "problem" that are well thought through instead of implementing a bad advice dog shit suggestion from the people that hate/came up with that "problem."

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@Taaaaamas Respectfully, the finish line is NOT the problem. It's the entire balance of the race leading up to the finish line that is the problem. There's a reason that absolute potato crews can even make it to the finish line...rebalance the race, not the finish.

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@ScorchFiles @DDoinkster @SeaOfThieves And with the blunderbuss nerf, if you're demasted as a solo against a larger crew, your fully fucked instead of just mostly fucked. This is a big middle finger to solo sloops.

[SweetSandman @SweetSandMan]

@flotsamtv @MarathonTheGame As a console player, I never got to play The Cycle Frontier. This game seems kinda like it could deliver what we missed out on. Hopefully they make it cross play!
