Through countless hours and the hard work of many people, we bring you this incredible creation in Minecraft of golden sands outpost.
#BeMorePirate@SeaOfThieves
@IMadyax@SeaOfThieves@S0nicbob And yeah I used to love the game just like you but they kept murdering the experience update after update for years now and it’s legitimately sad of what this game has turned into
@IMadyax@SeaOfThieves@S0nicbob -let’s prioritise adding long lasting content instead of time limited bs that they’re doing or the new content being left to rot without any signs of further updates or improvements another example of that would be smugglers league
@ToxieSinclaire Ur so weird for bringing personal life into this, very unprofessional of you as a sot partner and person that ment to advertise the game to others
What I can tell you for sure is sot devs are good people and they want the best for sot, they just might have different vision for the game and that is fine, it’s their game at the end of the day, players either have to accept it or move onto different game
I’m fine with pretty much 99% of this tweet I just don’t agree on the “Weapons & Combat need to be set in stone at release. You don’t just go changing things DRASTICALLY 6 years after launch” every game needs a meta/combat shake up once in a while. (1/4)
I’m just going to say this:
@SeaOfThieves@ChappersChapman@keeyaaaa@S0nicbob
Weapons & Combat need to be set in stone at release. You don’t just go changing things DRASTICALLY 6 years after launch. You either have it or you don’t. And I hate to say this, but whoever is coming up with these “balances” needs to explain themselves. Trust has been lost, and so has respect. For the entire company at this point. Someone over at Rare obviously wants to completely destroy the game, and it’s actually heartbreaking to watch the game I have poured literal YEARS of my life into treat us all like this.
Announcing this rework 1 day after implementing the blunder changes, which already has proven to be a massive mistake (which anyone who plays the game at all knew it was) shows the incompetence. But this problems goes way deeper than what was announced this morning on the forums.
AND ON TOP OF ALL THIS, we are told “do not leave feedback on any other forms. It will be removed”. Are you kidding me? We as HUMAN BEINGS have a right to speak our mind about things. Censoring our thoughts is INSANE behavior. And it is NOT okay. Besides, the only people leaving feedback ARE insiders. You just don’t like what we have to say. Maybe if things are getting pushback, there is a reason for it. Constructive criticism and communication is important and a core principle when you run a live service game. I don’t understand how that is being neglected.
You should NOT get to decide how the game should be played if you simply don’t have the experience. Skill gaps are supposed to be a thing. And especially in sot, it’s the ONLY thing that separates a veteran, from a newer player. If your experience comes from doing mostly sea forts and voyages, and running away from players you see on the seas, then I’m sorry but your word doesn’t mean much when it comes to PVP and you should not dictate how WE continue to play the game.
This being said, the “balancing” doesn’t do ANYTHING. Safer Seas did nothing but destroy player interactions, Quickswap removal did nothing but hurt players who took time to learn mechanics (still win fights without it, so that didn’t work). Introducing more variety of weapons do nothing, etc. This ideology of trying to get everyone to play the game the same way is very unhealthy. It’s a sandbox game. We can play it however we want. That was the entire POINT of #SeaOfThieves. All this is doing is hurting the gameplay.
There NEEDS to be some serious rethinking of how this game is designed, updated, and how implementing changes go. Updates are getting increasingly WORSE. Insiders needs to be public, feedback needs to not be ignored/removed, and there needs to be a podcast or something addressing why these things continue to happen. Admit you guys messed up, and present your plan to bounce back. There needs to be COMMUNICATION between dev and player. And this is something we are not getting, and it hurts.
I love this game more than any game I have ever played. That is obvious. I have put over 20 thousand hours into it, so I care deeply about this. You guys have created the best possible pirate game, and there will never be something like it again. Anybody can agree it’s something truly special. However things for a while now have been declining, and fast. All we want is to see this game flourish into what was promised to us. And what I know you guys always wanted it to become. Help us help you do that 🤍
This is what led to me quitting the game for over a year, removal of Arena, and streak of very questionable changes i wasn’t happy with so I just left, got back into the games literally last week.
