@NextGenPlayer Wouldn't be surprised. Rare has been struggling for years, now, missing deadlines and botching/descoping SoT update after update, to the point their apology videos have become a meme. Also, they froze their weekly updates, this week, for an unplanned last min "studio-wide event".

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@PhuzzyBond It'll never get done, imo. It's just a vague announcement without any writer or director attached & by the time the movie would release, the game would have died a slow death due to years of mark missing. Also, animated >> live-action, including budget-wise.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@Captain_Falcore Just imagine : the movie - if it ever gets done, animated would be better, imo - is a hit, tons of new players rush to the Seas... and then, the reality of SoT hits, and "we missed the mark, sorry, we'll do better in season 25 thanks to our brand new dedicated team". Yikes.

@S0nicbob Honestly, Reapers & PVP hounds will prob be happy, but why would I waste time sailing on my slow sloop to one of those WE knowing i'm more likely to get contested than before, all over loot that's now 75 % meaningless to my emissary & that i'll likely won't even touch ?

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@shinobi602 Not necessarily surprising. That said, given the decrepit state of Sea of Thieves and the constant disarray the team seems to be in on a weekly basis, I'd have thought Rare would have been on the list, too.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@ablepirate Loving how, since then, one of their lead mods felt "compelled" to drop an extatic, über-positive, everything-is-awesome sycophantic post about this update. It feels soooo natural.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@ablepirate "Creator centric" platform just when Custom Seas is about to launch... hmmm...

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@BowtieShyGuy @ablepirate Yeah, I double-checked after my tweet, and nope, no Amethyst eyepatch.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@IamGreen112 Rare was warned about that, they just didn't care.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@SeaOfThieves Man, the Venn diagram overlap between the "yay, Event raids are dead, it's about time" crowd & the "I HG daily, I TDM & I'm a full time Reaper 5 PVP server hopper in Adventure" sweats, in the comments here & on other platforms, is something to behold.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@SpeedballBailey JetSpeedo... No ? Oh, well, i've tried.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@PhuzzyBond "the first few months" feels quite optimistic given the current conditions of the BRW.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@SeaOfThieves So basically, season 19 becomes PVP-centric. That's certainly a choice.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@CaptMcGuffin @SeaOfThieves Ah, but just wait until you've got to sail back from Molten Sands to Reaper's hideout with said loot if you happen to be a Reaper emissary, and want to complete the corresponding deed... You'll love it.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@CaptMcGuffin @SeaOfThieves Well, you've got a 30-60 minutes setup (getting to grade V/fighting the Guard/sailing to the fort) and you'll probably never bother with 90% of the loot, since it's such a chore to carry to your ship. So there's that. ^^

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@SeaOfThieves Honestly, knowing the current state of dev of this season from Insiders & what Act 2 entails, I find it hard to get excited about all this. Hopefully Garrisons will be worth the wait...

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@SeaOfThieves I'll be honest : I'm not spending my holidays in the Roar.

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@SeaOfThieves No surprise there. Emporium cosmetics will be ready, though (I know, I know, not the same team, but still...)

[Docteur Lobo @kaoteek]

@_xxItsRxx_ Season 18 exclusive FOMO Emporium recolor. Rare's getting desperate.
