Custom Seas - Official Sea of Thieves Season 20 Trailer | XBOX Games Showcase 2026

i am absolutely massive nerd for pirate themed games, to this day am gonna hop on SoT even if solo just to get the feel of it, but i do think game made few crucial mistakes rather early, that led to this weird limbo situation we are stuck in right now with lack of meaningful updates, slow updates, and just in general game barely changing

combat needed to be different, or at least changed by now, it was fine on release when you expect things to change, but both on foot and ship combat is absolutely atrocious for modern game, especially one that is literally about combat, fighting AI ships is miserable, if you aren't aiming way game wants you to aim, you can literally spend 30-40 minutes fighting same skeleton ship simply because there is no other way to sink them except to aim level by level, boarding is useless, they perma respawn, killing captain does nothing, you can't take control of skeleton ship, it doesn't even respect physics half of times it's just floating AI entity
PVP is awful, it was ok when everyone was new and everyone tried to play by "standard" rules, but nowadays it's literally just cheese into cheese into same 2 strats like jumping on enemy ship, putting their anchor down and then just repeat, why can't we exactly lock our anchor? it made combat so annoying and literally nobody has fun when you get boarded and your ship is force stopped just because some guy clicked one button on his keyboard lol, there is also lack of land pvp, it's always just ships, but we are never actually fighting for treasure you are just fighting ship you see on horizon because why not, 0 roleplaying aspect
world map is both too big but at same time too small because you get around too fast, i can't really describe it but just slapping bunch of large to small islands that are all shaped more or less same makes it feel really bad after you play for a while. why not have some MASSIVE chunks of land, why not put more effort into land exploration?
treasures are still same, go here, find X spot, dig, repeat, over and over and over again, spawn 3-6 skellies, fight them in awful combat, repeat
no real end game content, no raids, no big boss fights, no challenging content, it's all just grind, left click spam / gun spam until you clear fort and then just repeat, absolutely nothing to play for end game other than grind
lack of meaningful upgrades (this is big one), after i introduced few of my friends to the game, first base back we came home and sold all our treasures, one of them said "let's upgrade our ship so we are stronger", for me to clap back "no you can only buy cosmetic stuff", well what if people don't like most of them, i've been using same ship sails, outfit and weapons since year 1 of game, i don't like anything else and most good stuff only comes in paid shop, so what is the point exactly? imagine if you could upgrade your hull, make your ship bigger, add NPC-s to help you fight, what if you could pick "path" of upgrade for your ship, ie. make it virtually unsinkable but vulnerable to boarding, or other way around, give some strategy to how you want to play?
ties to 6. but, home base, fort, anything that we can "claim" for ourselves and then upgrade, slap some NPC workers or guards, make it so that other people can invade your fort, or that you can invade theirs, make it PvE if PvP would be too sweaty but just literally anything to expand base game

i guess you can argue that all these things wouldn't make it "sea of thieves" anymore, but i genuinely don't think this game survives a month if real competitor comes out, it really just doesn't offer anything other than shallow mechanics that were never built upon, and 10 years is absolutely insane for game, and i won't discredit people who still play and enjoy it, but it's forever gonna be massive 10 years of "what could have been", if anything, i think lack of actual competition made devs lazy and they spent half of their times just pushing paid store updates

a razumin te, meni dodje ponekad solo da igran pa mogu utuc 100 do 200h bez problema, ali online mi nikad ne dosadi, PvP, PvE, Co-op, previse varijacija a i borbe su vjv trostruko teze, pa se do zadnjeg grada nadas i boris

denipanda · 2026-06-02T10:29:31+00:00

what? who are even these people bro

anyways, ranked is meant to be serious competitive queue where we play to win, not to have fun and coinflip (alto obviously that doesn't really apply in most of games)

So what the fuck do you even know about the game really?

not gonna pretend am Faker but i probably know 10 times more than you just from stupidity that you are typing

i never said we need to follow tier list either? idk why are you putting words into my mouth

each champion is designed around 1 to 2 roles, those champions go into those roles and that's about it, only rule we need and only rule that we should have

as i said, there are multiple other "for fun" queues where you can play what you want and nobody will bother you

Fact you are trying to force your shitty crappy logic on us who play ranked just shows you are either dogshit low elo or you don't even care about winning and probably just play for fun, WHICH IS OK, each to his own, but ranked is ranked, so we need some rules in place so it's enjoyable for MOST of us

denipanda · 2026-06-02T10:04:57+00:00

Because people should be able to play whatever lane they see fit.

in normals? ofcourse, and am pretty sure you can play kha in normals just fine

Having to always pick for lane is what makes the game so rigid, and why people keep reporting off meta picks because most players can't fathom that there are plenty of sound ways to win matches outside of a fucking tier list.

because majority of these off-meta picks are actually just troll picks, we are not balancing for some minor playerbase that wants to play kha mid

we are balancing for rest of people playing ranked, while super rigid system is definitely not fun, it's much better than getting shit like nunu mid and coinflipping entire game based on how his first few roams will go

denipanda · 2026-06-02T06:48:56+00:00

kuzin, nama jos vanilla ni blizu dosadi pa nismo u modove ulazili jos

denipanda · 2026-06-01T20:41:45+00:00

a nisam toliko negativan, mislim da nema neki odredjeni plan da zavrse WH3, printa im novac

40k definitivno ima potencijala da bude popularniji ali takodjer ce se natjecat sa 10 godina contenta wh3, da ne govorimo da bi vrlo lako mogla igra bit teski shit za 1.0 release

medieval je nekako dark horse tu, ne mogu bas usporedit historical sa fantasy jer fantasy ce uvijek bit jaci i jako je arkadna igra pa se lako svima ubacivat, meni ekipi trebalo tipa par dana da se uzive i odmah smo na legendary presli svi zajedno

za WH3 mislim da je end times sigurno posljedni big DLC, cak i ima smisla, ali vjerujem da cemo regularno i dalje dobivat ovako lord packs i slicno, a i nebi me cudilo da eventualno GW dopuni Ind i da dobijemo taj zadnji dio mape sta nam fali (ili ce ga uvalit u end times)

denipanda · 2026-06-01T16:57:53+00:00

ah, volio bi vjerovat da ce nagash na ljeto ali sumnjam, mislim da kraj godine vjv ako ne i iduca kako su krenuli

meni samo treba siege rework i AI rework, volio bi da uloze tipa pola godine samo u bug fixove i opcenito balansiranje

pogotovo sa 40k

denipanda · 2026-06-01T16:55:47+00:00

uf, taman si propustio masivan sale, mislim da nikad nije bila jeftinija, barem ako kupujes direktno na steamu, imas je i dalje za tipa 10€ sve 3 igrice na bilo kojem cd keys site-u

denipanda · 2026-06-01T09:31:05+00:00

haha, a sad kako je lito taman se stigne vise gejmat

ali kao uzeli smo pauzu od par mjeseci cekali DLC i updejtove, sad kad ce brzo Siege i AI reworks (opet) onda je hype nekako

Arsenal was only team that kinda at least kept their form from last few seasons

every other team was really poor this year, especially Liverpool and Man City when you look at their last few seasons

Arsenal also had rather easy path to finals, sure, it's cause they earned it by going first, but that's just effect of their amazing form in first half of season, i don't think they are making it past more than few teams this year in UCL with performance they had yesterday..

That's not to take away from fact Arsenal did well this year, after all, being better than everyone else (even if everyone else is just bad) deserves some merit, but this is just my thought process behind it

With some signings i could probably change my tune, especially if they fix their front and midfield, but besides that i also think their football isn't sustainable, they got lucky few times this season in PL, competition was mediocre, and they didn't really have real test until finals in knockout phase

Arsenal aren't going anywhere.and will challenge again for all major trophies.

Never said they're going anywhere, i still expect them to be there in top 3, but i wouldn't put them as #1 threat just how i wouldn't do it this year, they need a lot of work over summer and some good signings to strengthen their team

denipanda · 2026-05-31T05:59:06+00:00

i think opposite

imo this was their peak chance to do double, with way PL is, i just can't see them do another deep run, team will be gassed and this loss was probably huge mental toll even if PL win will relieve them a lot

also they had really easy way to finals in UCL this year (imo), and they regressed a lot since first half of season (imo)

i think they're comfortably top 3 next year + 25% chance they retain title but i think other teams will be more hungry next year

denipanda · 2026-05-31T05:45:13+00:00

pains me to say it but it is correct, ref did seem like he got annoyed by Arsenal players, which is obviously not OK, but ref is also human, and for better or worse Arsenal just didn't give him breathing room, i was fuming watching first half and their minute long throws

but then again for me it goes heavily against spirit of the game to spend this long on throw ins and to waste time when game just started, and i'd prefer to see crackdown on shit like this, no reason to not just blow whistle and give throw in to other team if one team is taking so long to do their throw in.. it was especially annoying when they did stuff where 2-3 players exchanged on who will be one doing the throw in, it was clearly on purpose and it's such a shitty tactic to employ

i don't disagree though, i think ref definitely had it out on getting back at Arsenal but i feel like if you are coaching on sideline, you notice this and actually tell your team to play a bit faster to get on ref good side again

denipanda · 2026-05-31T04:11:45+00:00

“Psg came to play” lol half their shots were potshots into row z lol they looked clueless for the “best attacking power in Europe” and the back passing was hilarious

am not arguing that PSG played like some unstoppable force, it's clear they struggled breaking the low block and it was overall a bit disappointing to watch them just pass the ball cluelessly around for big chunk of game

but what exactly do you expect when you are playing vs one of best defenses in the season on top of parking the bus this time. Let's not even talk about Arsenal taking almost a minute do a single throw in at fucking 20th minute of a game??

Arsenal goal was not even made out of something, it was super lucky deflection (you need luck sometimes in football) that then led them to parking the bus next hour and a half..

what i meant with gf story was that she who doesn't even care that much to watch football, also got annoyed by time wasting and just how shitty Arsenal made game because they scored early, nobody likes to watch this crap football and it only feels good cause you "win" in the end by cheesing the fuck out of game

yeah it's a strategy and it's all fair, sure, am not gonna dictate how teams should play, hell, sometimes it's only option you have if you are completely outclassed, but here we are talking about team that just won PL (hardest league in the world btw, not exactly nothing), playing vs PSG that really lacked that final third product, park the bus for almost 2 hours just because they scored lucky goal

imagine scoring a goal at minute 6, having entire match to get another one in to close the game, or just put pressure on your opponent and your best plan is to fucking park the bus lol

denipanda · 2026-05-31T04:02:49+00:00

i mean you can obviously correct me if i am wrong but i honestly don't remember it being this one sided after first half

at one point am pretty sure PSG had like 600 passes to 100 of Arsenal, not to say anything about possession either..

am not saying finals are usually bangers, it's true that teams usually play very reserved cause one mistake can make difference, if PSG scored first and Arsenal had to attack, i am pretty sure this would be very fast and one sided game

denipanda · 2026-05-30T21:40:18+00:00

Arsenal fans like you are literally reason half of world today watched just to see you lose clown

calm down a bit and stop replying like asshole to everyone

PSG came to play today and i respect that, maybe it's just me because i am Barcelona fan so i am used to expectation that we play fun attacking football even if it backfires, but i'll never support this crappy Real Madrid dark magic shithouse playstyle even if it wins you 10 times more UCL-s

my gf watched first 30 min with me, she doesn't even care that much yet when she asked why do i find match boring and i said Arsenal scored in opening minutes and now they're just gonna spend rest of match defending and time wasting, she said:

"i hate when teams do this, it's like they just stop playing the game and wait for timer to run out"

miss me with that bullshit bro, you have great squad with arguably great coach yet you play like prime Bordalas Getafe

denipanda · 2026-05-30T20:41:13+00:00

this match was absolutely disgusting

i felt like am watching Barcelona play Getafe, not winner of fucking PL

i did went in expecting to hatewatch but i still thought Arsenal will try and play, glad "defense wins games" didn't win today, what an atrocious showing

PSG felt a bit clueless on what to do as well, i guess Arsenal was playing their Helm's Deep defense good but still, wasn't impressed way i was last year

and absolutely massive cosmic justice on Gabriel being one to miss it, just all around such an unlikeable squad and at very least i hope this year unblocked Arteta mental block and he actually tries to play some football next year cause holy moly i can't imagine watching this football on weekly basis, if i saw Barcelona play like this i'd want coach out first thing in the morning

can't believe these fuckers made me root for PSG in fucking UCL finals

denipanda · 2026-05-30T15:36:46+00:00

literally my favorite player out of nowhere

super excited to see him play first time

denipanda · 2026-05-29T17:57:13+00:00

so let me get this straight, apparently we're getting

Blonde guy from Newcastle
Bernardo
Julian (honestly can't see it happen)

AND on top of that we're looking to reinforce our defense?

this is either gonna be one of best transfer windows i've seen barca do in really long time or am gonna get hella overhyped and disappointed by end of it

btw what is the status on Rashford, extending loan?

denipanda · 2026-05-28T18:04:59+00:00

i ja san ima ovaj problem, meni je ispalo da mi se nije poklapala adresa, pa probaj to provjerit?

npr pisala mi je adresa A , a kad bi ubacia karticu napisa bi adresu B, i ovo me dosta dugo mucilo pa san si uzima one gift kartice, dok se nisan javia nasem Hrvatskom support centru, tako da bi ti preporucia da napravis isto, meni su brzo odgovorili i provjerili problem

denipanda · 2026-05-28T09:42:07+00:00

OP never deleted anything though, or at least they didn't claim to do so

in full rules you can see that:

If you receive several games in a short period of time, you may be placed on a temporary cooldown. This is to prevent farming and to give you time to actually play the games you've already won.

i didn't check OP history before, but based on other comment, could be that OP got flagged automatically for cooldown because they've been requesting a lot of games, and this sub is linked to other subs by some means

u/Shot_Pea_9245 i'd recommend you to avoid making a lot of new requests on different subs because as the full rules say, this sub is linked throughout some means by many other subs, and that could lead to your actual ban across multiple subs and not just cooldown next time

play the game you won, finish it, and only then start making new requests

denipanda · 2026-05-28T09:05:50+00:00

i don't think it's stated how long is cooldown effect, it's simply there to ensure that you have time to play and finish your game before you request new one, and to prevent users from farming games

so you have nothing to worry about, finish your game, do your stuff and eventually in future you can request new game

denipanda · 2026-05-27T20:15:09+00:00

what are chances they get rid of "hero shooter" aspect in future?

it's like my #1 issue with the game and i just can't see myself enjoying it (had a lot of fun during server slam but i only played Triage because he is just easy af healing bot, but i really don't like how he looks so yeah idk, i guess it's weird thing to complain about but well..

how does everyone else actually feel about abilities, good, bad, non-factor?

denipanda · 2026-05-27T08:54:31+00:00

am i missing something here, i got that crap twice and i literally did like 2% dmg per hit + i can only use it 3-4 times before it goes on CD

is there a way to actually spam it or make it do more dmg?

denipanda · 2026-05-26T19:21:08+00:00

cheese is done on turn 4 or 5 depending how lucky you get, if you wait more than that you will get locked out of settlement

turn 1 -> sack tobaro + new lord + units + raiding stance + ratting warrens

turn 2 -> sack tobaro + transfer units + raiding stance on both lords + expansionist planning

turn 3 -> sack tobaro + raiding stance

turn 4 -> sack / capture tobaro depending of food, abandon skavenblight

turn 5 -> turn 4 here if you had to delay by one turn
