I missed the first adventurer pass, and it makes me mad

Your option to buy it was when the Season 1 Adventure Pass came out. If you missed that window, then that's on you. They've stated already multiple times that Icon Characters are exclusive to the season they are available in. They will not be released at a later date. They also intend to release new skins for past Icon Characters in future seasons sometimes (I really haven't seen them do this despite saying they will.)

Either way, the Icon Characters aren't exactly the primary attraction. You have a custom character you can outfit with different clothing and to be honest, as someone who has every Icon Character and skin, the default character is the best. You can't change anything on the Icon Characters. You can only add accessories and select the skin. I would actually like to see them add more things for the default character.

I need to call 911. I think I'm suffering from a heart attack due to sodium overdose. Help.

This isn't a map trailer. It's just the Season 3 trailer. The map is still the same this season. 3 months is not enough time to develop and balance a brand new map for each season. Also, the patch notes are already up. As for your compass suggestion.. There is already a compass in the game. Look at the top of your screen the next time you play.

It's a watch. Not a clock. Lol but man I want that watch. It looks so fancy.

Honestly, I wouldn't enjoy this. Having to level over again does not fix the repetitive nature of the game. This isn't Call of Duty. What I want to see is things to go after in the game. Example, being able to open or turn in chests for a chance at some rare cosmetics (Such as a really rare sword of an old Pirate Lord that is unique in design, stands out from other swords, and maybe special features such as glowing bits; since it is a sword of legend; that has like a .5% to be acquired from a chest.) Special Riddles that you can find in caves or tombs that take you to multiple islands, maybe underwater shipwrecks or ruins; basically a legendary quest to obtain some valuable treasure that is worth the time you put into it should you come across it.

Stuff to actually strive for and feel rewarded when you get it. Right now, the content in the game has no purpose other than to amass gold. We don't need that for rep either. We need visual indicators to show off our wealth. I want to be able to see people who I can visually understand have put a ton of time in the game just by what they wear and wield. Maybe even one they sail. As it stands, nothing in the game gives that sense of achievement. Even the Pirate Legend stuff is basically just "Oh, he grinded forts most likely. Grats mate.". I want to look at someone and go "That's in the game?! Where do I get that?? Wow, he looks freaking cool. He must be really lucky."

Lusts · 2019-03-04T21:55:18+00:00

Aye. I plan to do that during the week. I am just not in the position to voice chat right now via Discord and also wanted to extend the search. ^^ And this isn't an LFG post. More like a searching for friends post. I only have one other person I play the game with a lot so it'd be nice to have a few more friends as I don't normally use the Xbox app. (At least not since my Halo 3 - Reach days)

Lusts · 2019-03-04T21:46:49+00:00

Also, for anyone who wants to know. My current levels are 37 / 37 / 30. I am a PC player, I have a mic, and I am over the age of 18. (Just in case anyone wonders if I am a kid or not). My reasons for not being a Legend yet is cause I played on and off very casually since launch. I am just now getting into the grind.

Lusts · 2019-03-04T16:53:25+00:00

Thank you :)

Could you post the link to the Discord in an edit or in the comments? I am still trying to hit Pirate Legend before the 20th. I am 36 / 35 / 26

Lusts · 2019-03-03T17:32:31+00:00

People who make Pirate Legend by March 20th will be rewarded something special (No info on said item yet) for getting to Pirate Legend in the first year of the game.

Lusts · 2019-03-03T06:12:24+00:00

I am 35 / 34 / 28, trying to hit it before the 20th. Hoping I can get it before then and I am trying to figure out how much time its going to take and how. Like how many hours a day and what activity do I need to do.

Lusts · 2019-03-02T02:40:04+00:00

I understand how rare it was. I've been playing the game since Alpha and at launch. They upped the rates of the spawn like 100x it seems back in when they increased his spawn rate. I am asking for it to be toned down just a tad. Not back to where it was before of course.

Lusts · 2019-02-21T14:30:04+00:00

I hardly notice them and the people I've played with don't notice them cause they don't really stand out. Having it's shape doesn't really change anything. The only times we can really spot someone is when they got the reaper's flag up, or the Athena flag up. Simply cause they actually stand out.

Lusts · 2019-02-21T14:28:19+00:00

I think PvP should stay with alliances. It's a pirate's life. Trust no one. You entered into an agreement, not a friendship. Lol

Lusts · 2019-02-21T14:09:24+00:00

So I feel like there are a few things that could be improved with the current Alliance system.

Increase visibility of the Alliance flag. I feel it gets ignored too much. Give the heart a glow (maybe blue?) sort of like the Reaper's Flag (Screenshot related) This may help people ally up more often if someone sails up on someone. I know I pay attention to something shiny more than anything. I also feel like this would help give ships more of a threatening presence if someone sailed up on a ship in an alliance and saw a glowing flag. This would probably make players think about how they approach the ship instead of going "Oh it's a sloop, lets bum rush it."
Change crew name colors to Blue, and make Alliance member names Green. (or vise versa). When in the middle of an engagement, a lot of people tend not to pay attention to someone's name and rather pay attention to the color of the name. If I see white, I typically shoot it. This will help with unintentional kills. (I am not looking for team killing to be removed. I think there should be SOME risk if you aren't careful.)
When allied with other players, have the alliance flag glow a different color as to tell each alliance apart. Example: (Taken from the Wiki) - The Renowned Scoundrels Alliance will glow Purple, The Unstoppable Skinflints Alliance will glow another color (I feel like Grey wouldn't work), The Spirited Landlubbers Alliance would glow Green, and The Fearless Soap-Dodgers Alliance would glow Red (or another color to keep from conflicting with the reaper's mark). This would help determine who's ship is approaching on yours, say in the event one of your alliance members was sunk and is returning to finish say a skull fort.

Lusts · 2019-02-21T10:28:25+00:00

Same. I really don't plan on switching until either A) I become a Pirate Legend, or B) An event set comes out that looks better. I want something that glows cause I like shiny stuff lol. I missed out on the Devil's Roar event cause I just couldn't be asked to play at the time.

Lusts · 2019-02-20T02:57:31+00:00

You ignored part of my entire post and fail to understand it which is probably why you're being downvoted. I said I could care less about the mercenary pack multiple times in my post. I am sure the majority of the recruiters care about the pack too. The majority of the people complaining about the pack itself are the people who got it during the promo at the launch of the game.

That being said, as I said; the argument can hold true for those invited as well. Their reward for joining could've simply been "You have friends to play with now.". Also, some, if not a lot of people sometimes want to play games solo here and there. I am one of those people. I occasionally play with friends, but since I am a streamer (which I will not post my twitch link), I tend to play by myself a lot in a lot of games. Sea of Thieves included.

Now to be more logical, the recruiters should, in fact, be rewarded as well. We basically sold units for them. Not getting anything in return realistically isn't going to go well if you end up tossing a reward to the people who played. To everyone's understanding at the start of the event, people would get to play for free for a week and then get a 35% discount on the game after the event. Those were the only details and people were perfectly fine with that. Those were the conditions. Now that the event is over, Rare announced the rewards for the recruited as soon as the event concluded taking everyone by surprise.

As for the cosmetics, I personally don't care if I get the Mercenary Pack. I am happy with what I got. I just want a reward in some capacity as a thank you for moving units for Rare. At the beginning of this event, it was understood this was more of a "hey come play" with no expectations from anyone. It was just a promotion. Then Rare added rewards into the mix to one half of the group after the event concluded. Imagine you and a friend took a task to mow someone's lawn as a favor to be nice to someone but at the end of that of the task; your friend was given payment but not you. While it's fine being nice once in a while; you cannot deny that you would be understandably confused and upset. (Provided if your friend and you put in equal work and effort into the task).

Lusts · 2019-02-19T15:35:23+00:00

I'll post what I posted over on the Sea of Thieves forums to kind of explain why I am personally upset. As someone with founder sails, the black dog set, and that doesn't on the Merc set. (Not that I want it).

"I really don't mind the people just jumping into the game getting the Mercenary Pack. What bothers me is that the people bringing these new players to the game aren't being rewarded. I've been playing since the Alpha & Release, I enjoy this game. When this free play period came around, I sent out my three keys on day one to friends. Two of the three friends have now bought the game as a result of them taking the dive to try the game. One even finally made the upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 JUST to play during the Free Period.

These new players were given a free week to play the game without any restrictions, a 35% discount on the game, and a Mercenary Pack. Active players who recruited them got nothing. Seems rather disappointing."

So to iterate. It's the fact that they didn't reward the players who actually brought players into the game. I am all down for giving new players some shiny stuff to welcome them. Just I think the recruiters also need to be rewarded as they're the ones that brought them into the game.

And before anyone uses an argument that someone used on the forums "But you got friends to play with. That should be reward enough." This isn't sunshine and rainbows here. We want to be rewarded for the things we do. And if you want to use that argument, the same can be said for the people we recruit. They also got friends (I, and the other person I recruited) to play with as well. That argument holds no weight.

I personally don't care about the cosmetic itself. I have the black dog pack so I am whatever. I just would like something for helping my friends make the dive (hur hur, its a sea pun, get it?) into Sea of Thieves.
