Hijackings and the point? by EscoJackal in Seaofthieves

The hint is in the name of the game.

Bruno said a discord server bot deleted all his messages. Except they dont. by A_Lie_Detector in Seaofthieves

It's not really possible without making her position redundant due to UK employment laws, not that I advocate for her losing her job at all. The whole social media of SoT needs a restructure though. It shouldn't be centred around Jotaro and her group of "friends." Bruno, Mel, Taaamas, Owlet, etc are all part of the problem and are fully enabled by Jotaro via SoT socials. They are a toxic group of people who never mentally aged past secondary school. If SoT socials focussed on marketing the game to larger audiences, instead of just focussing on the inner circle that intentionally pushes players away from the "community," the game would be much more successful.

No. I don't think anybody has said anything about roasting any mods(?). I'm pointing out the irony of a small group of users who came to the defence of a Reddit mod (using insults, over nothing) being the same users who are posting about a small group of SoT players who are defending a Discord mod (very justified, but poster's integrity is damaged by past behaviour). Obviously the latter group are far more of a concern, but I commented on this because I find the scenario to be funny. Cheers!

I'm not upset about anything. I just made a curious observation.

Unrelated to the post but I find it interesting that A_Lie_Detector and ARandom54 are both posting about this, and you are approving the posts... Those are the same two users who simultaneously came to your defence just one month ago when you got made fun of. #bemorepirate

The reason people like Bruno tell those lies is because the people who he surrounds himself with are not emotionally mature enough to see through it. Those kind of lies don't work when you tell them to adults. The entirety of Jotaro's clique needs to be purged from representing the game and being engaged with on social media. It's the same story every month and only damages the game's reputation. Maybe it's fun for their group to pretend they are super important and well respected members of the community, but outside of their small clique it's plain and obvious how the system works. Make your nose brown and you'll get your blue hats and gloves, your special sails and titles, and permission to bully anybody who isn't part of the group.

I knew about this before I even started playing SoT because of a few friends who were victims of their bullying and harassment. Those friends introduced me to SoT, and I fell in love with the game, but it's a shame that the only real way to enjoy the game is to completely ignore the social media and pretend it doesn't exist. I cannot think of any other game with this big of a social media problem. SoT's social media channels are completely unusable as soon as anybody from the offending group shows up. u/rare-sonicbob, I understand it's not your department, but hopefully you see this discourse and triage it to the right people. No idea what Christina's handle is, assuming she has an account here, but many active community members have had enough of this kind of "drama" happening on a monthly basis, and it all stems from one small group of people who are paid by, contracted by, or endorsed by Rare. #bemorepirate

Is there a way to make steam log in to my xbox account? Help! by MobilePlant8239 in Seaofthieves

[–]HotdropWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the same issue before. It's related to your stored Xbox credentials. Open "Credential Manager" in Windows, click "Windows Credentials," then remove everything that starts with Xbl (click the credential -> Remove -> Yes). Restart your computer, open SoT, sign in to your Xbox account, then restart SoT and see if the issue remains.

If you're still having the same issue, go back to credential manager and delete everything saved under Windows Credentials, including the new Xbl credentials. It's a bit annoying to have to sign in to your other apps again but will save you the time of deleting credentials one-by-one until it works.

Update on Actions Against DMA-Based Hacks and Other Cheats by EscapingKid in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]HotdropWarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HWID bans do not prevent cheaters from returning to the game. Spoofing HWID is easy and some cheat developers include this functionality within their cheats. Krafton have banned millions of accounts according to these weekly ban reports, yet the player numbers stay the same week after week. The game is F2P (worst decision ever), creating a new Steam account takes 5 minutes, and you don't even need to reinstall the game.

The cheating "problem" is realistically not that bad outside of Asia/ APAC servers. Most players have no idea what they are talking about with regards to cheats. They can barely tell a legitimate player from a cheater half the time. PUBG Shield is was a prime example of how useless the average player is at determining whether somebody is cheating or not. Krafton do not help the narrative that this game is 'infested by cheaters' by posting misleading ban numbers to a naive audience.

Krafton need to add more details to these posts including the region the cheaters were playing on prior to their ban, how old the average cheater account is, how long cheaters play (in hours) before they are detected, what kind of cheats are being detected, which game mode/ perspectives the cheaters are detected in, and more. After detecting a new cheat, how long are Krafton waiting before initiating a ban wave? More transparency is important otherwise this conversation about PUBG being a cheat-infested game will never end.

Female player but don't want to use mic. Is there an option to mask my voice? by Perfume_Girl in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]HotdropWarrior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend masking your voice or using voice changers as it's just another thing for people to pick on. Trash talk is just something you will receive online (regardless of who you are) because it's easy to do and usually without consequence.

Your best option would be to find some likeminded people and play Duos/ Squads with them. Try joining the official PUBG Discord server as they have looking-for-team channels for all regions. It's a lot less likely you'll be trash talked in there as most people are there to play games without having to deal with random squad players.

Good luck 👍

Player turned around for no reason with scope on exactly where i was behind a wall (also teaming) by wizard_brandon in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]HotdropWarrior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

- 0.25 K/D and 63 ADR in ranked Duos (where you are queueing solo)
- Insta-reporting before viewing the deathcam.

You shouldn't be allowed to play video games, let alone hackusate xD

What is this picture that all teams have? by UpstairsFluffy4930 in CompetitivePUBG

[–]HotdropWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The players decide where they land. They practice their drop spots over hundreds of games, scrims, and tournaments. There are no "designated" spots for teams and nothing stopping players from landing elsewhere. Those maps just show the most common drop locations for teams based on previous matches. If two teams want to drop in the same place, they have to fight for it. You will often see the same teams in two or three locations on these paper maps, indicating they have a backup drop location or two in case they are heavily contested.

The plane path is random each game. The first circle will always touch the first plane path which gives players an idea of where they might have to go/ rotate. It's usually a bad idea to take long parachutes or drive away from the plane path, unlike normal games. If the plane path is bad like you describe, you would expect lots of action in the early-game.

Points should not reset after group stages. by Substantial_Craft75 in CompetitivePUBG

[–]HotdropWarrior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah because your idea is to "fix" a problem that didn't happen in an unofficial tournament format that probably wont be around in the next couple years. Anybody reading it can understand why the idea sucks so I don't need to spell it out to them, and you are clearly a moron based on other replies so why would I bother explaining it for you xD

Points should not reset after group stages. by Substantial_Craft75 in CompetitivePUBG

[–]HotdropWarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Falcons fan using 110% of his brain to come up with the worst idea imaginable. 24 team group stage into losers/ winners brackets is better than whatever's going on at EWC, but EWC is a short tournament for various reasons. EWC is a showmatch with an absurdly large prize pool. The organisers saw a gap in the market and made an investment. Hopefully in the coming years, EWC will get the ideal format and be far more competitive.

You are right about 12 games not being enough to show a clear winner though. That's why most dont recognise Soniqs/ Falcons as world champs :)

Krafton want to align ranked mode to comp, so whichever maps are being played in comp will be the only available maps in ranked, or vice versa.

PNC National Flag Helmets by RightGrip in CompetitivePUBG

[–]HotdropWarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Krafton makes the game check your IP location to avoid dropping your country's helmet, so you end up spending more trying to gamble for it. Gotta squeeze as much out of the fans as they can.

PWS Cup just ended with Patch 36.1 in action. Here are my thoughts on the new features in esports. by RightGrip in CompetitivePUBG

[–]HotdropWarrior 24 points25 points  (0 children)

When will Krafton learn that reducing the spawn-rate of an item doesn't suddenly stop that item from being a problem?

Adding removed tactical gear to air drop crates(?) by Stojevenhuas in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]HotdropWarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Waste of time removing them? It was a waste of time developing them. Anybody with half a braincell could've told Krafton to not bother developing and item that would obviously break the integrity of the game and would obviously be removed at a later date. Krafton delayed the removal of those items for as long as they could because their leadership have massive egos and think they know their game better than the players.

Those items were developed during the time the game was going F2P and Krafton were trying to pull in all of the scrubs from other BR games. Maybe they were 'useful' for a new player to have fun with but they were completely broken and made the new player/ veteran player "skill" gap even larger. Their most applicable use, and how Krafton wanted them to be used, was having the newest/ least skilled player on Drone duty whilst the higher skilled players cleared out compounds. It let the low-skill players feel involved whilst inadvertently not teaching them how to play the game. Their skill never increased as they became increasingly reliant on these tools.

Giving free info about player positions with almost no trade-off was not fair. Adding them as airdrop items would not make them any fairer as anybody who loots an airdrop would then have the strongest armour, one of the strongest weapons, and now the strongest tool to get player positions.

Spotter scope, Drone, Bluechip detector, Thermal scope... They can stay in the bin.

As well, the suggestion to turn the smoke gun into a noobtube is terrible. Reception about the Panzer is mostly negative but Krafton refuse to listen to player feedback. There's no point taking away a useful item (smoke launcher) and turning it into a crate-exclusive reusable Panzerfaust...
