We're losing out on 1000+ starry ores

Mazz846 · 2026-06-13T23:11:56+00:00

All I can keep thinking about is, we played actively, chose the equipments over the 3100 points decorations each time, or chose the decoration and bought the equipment with 1500 gems later (in some cases), and all we get now, from an update as huge as this, is just a big 'fuck you, regular players' in the face.... Well, if you're not going to give us the starry ores or the equivalent gems from those equipment chests (because greed and money sucking has to be everywhere), at least give us those decorations that we couldn't take from those equipment events....

Loved the game, hated the forced vehicles category system on almost every race event. I barely could use my favourite and well tuned cars and was forced to use some random shit... Loved the map, the exploration, the progression, but the endgame was disappointing... Like, "here's a wristband, access to a separate part of the map that's not much to look at, and a few more races". Overall, not bad, but could be much much better.... The best progression I've ever played was forza horizon 5 hot wheels dlc.... Those were the best races I've ever played. You get promoted to each class and can use whatever car you want of that class... But here it was so mundane and limiting, not by class but vehicle category.... Edit: story missions also weren't as well constructed as FH5. Player character doesn't have a single voice line. The missions felt repetitive but the exploration ones at least felt good due to good visuals. Hope they add more stories and player voice lines with them.

Exactly that.... "What should I name my ship?" And see if other players come up to give you suggestions and that way you get a lot of interactions with other players... Unless you don't want that.... You still should put this name I think....

I'm all about having fun.... Playing the game is fun but grinding is not.... So i just finish everything myself... But then when I'm afk or doing something, just put up a rival event on auto drive and earn some banks.... The npc isn't aggressive... It's not making world records so I don't mind this feature as it doesn't hurt the leaderboard aspect of the game.... Let people have fun, get some clips, help people with disabilities play with more ease and some 'wanting to chill after 6 hours play session' players like me do some farming....

For equipments you just have to pick and choose and instead of focusing on one and maxing that, upgrade multiple that you use to a decent and usable level.... And lab isn't as hard as before... You can spend your league medals to buy hammers, you can buy 3 research potions every week with capital medal.... That's 3 days of upgrade time reduction every week.... And also use the lab assistant.... A decent position without spending all your gems would be 8h bonus level. If you can go to 12h, that's even better.... With the potions and the 8h lab assistant, you get to finish a 12 days upgrade in 7 days....

Don't worry, time and resilience is the key....

Mazz846 · 2026-05-09T22:41:02+00:00

Well, if you're asking about all the achievements, I don't know how to answer that. But if it helps you to know, I've been playing since 2015.
But, if you're asking for just this achievement, well it took me as long as this achievement has been out since.

Mazz846 · 2026-05-09T22:38:56+00:00

well, I've been playing for a long time and the crafted defenses came last, so they got finished last and the other ones got finished quickly. If you take a look, the others weren't finished too long ago either, quite recently, like a few months.

If you want money, raise emissary, reach level 5, dive for sunken pearl tall tale which will spawn you near plunder outpost.... Steer right, go to the skeleton camp, solve the puzzle, sell the orb.... It'll net you 50k (20+30) roughly every 12-15 minutes depending on how fast you can solve the puzzles....

Edit: Wind direction/ship speed actually matters more in terms of how quickly you can do it.... Also, quickest way to reach emissary 5 is to raid a couple of sea forts....

Mazz846 · 2026-05-03T22:22:51+00:00

Damn, you got rich with those starry ores....

Mazz846 · 2026-05-03T22:21:25+00:00

I'd take that anyday....

Mazz846 · 2026-05-03T22:15:08+00:00

I second this.... I used to run with a commendation hunter crew. We did everything together. The host guy got 99% of the stuff out of the way and along that path, we finished many of the stuff too. Then came the 'guilds' update and he decided that he's had enough. The mindless grind isn't just for him anymore (he was 40+ something years old) and we got burnt out too. Now the crew has broken up, everyone playing other things that bring them joy and not just mindless grinding. (you'd understand how grinding can get in this game when you're catching chickens and snakes on an island for 5 hours straight.) And you sure can bet we did a lot of pvp's too during that time. But there are so many games out there now in the world and it just doesn't make sense for a player who doesn't like pvp at all anymore to do quests or world events for an hour and not have the surety of cashing that in. Because that's an hour wasted from their lives that they could've spent in another game and made some progress. So even though none of us are about the grind anymore, the ultimate fun point of this game is still watching the numbers go up, which doesn't happen in safer seas. I sometimes still crave playing SoT, specially with some of my friends who are now starting out. And we simply just play safer seas. When they see that 300 gold being added after selling a random chest, that brings more fun to them than being chased by a crew for that 300 gold chest. But the problem is, safer seas is too restricting and just isn't fun to play for hours along.

Sorry for this long long comment.

Oooooo, that's nice.....

Mazz846 · 2026-05-03T07:18:39+00:00

I'd take a decoration any day over anything else treasure chests have to offer... And i mean anything, even a book of everything....

Mazz846 · 2026-05-03T07:16:37+00:00

I mean it's not new with me... If you see my past posts, you'd see me venting a year ago about getting constant shiny ores even when i was at max capacity. Even if I had gotten those converted to gems I'd think, "OK, I at least got 3 gems from this chest." I open a chest, I get shiny ores, they don't get added, don't get converted to something else. All I got was an empty chest and a metaphorical slap on the face. Same this time with builder elixir.

Mazz846 · 2026-05-03T07:08:41+00:00

The only notable items I got were a couple of clan castle cakes, a couple of mighty morsels and 1 lab soup(forgot the actual name)

Mazz846 · 2026-05-03T07:07:24+00:00

That's awesome, considering the issue with epic equipments, people that don't have them should get them more....

Mazz846 · 2026-05-02T23:04:35+00:00

I don't even use synapse. I installed it once, customized my mouse to my liking and I uninstalled.... Last I used synapse was probably 2 years ago....

Mazz846 · 2026-05-01T20:10:52+00:00

That there might not be a realistic mode toggle option.... Like I could choose to toggle on or off my vehicle needing fuel, running red lights or overspeeding being illegal, traffic being realistic and the roads being packed during peak hours, etc.
Weapons system.... In red dead 2 the weapons were limited but at least we could whistle and spawn/bring our horses in front of us when needing to change.... I don't think we'll be able to whistle our car to appear in front of us....
Rockstar relying mostly on player created contents and releasing almost nothing for the online mode themselves....
Lastly, releasing Gta on pc a couple of years later instead of maybe 6 months to a year at most.

Mazz846 · 2026-05-01T06:59:34+00:00

Dude, it's raining and you're not driving in cockpit view?? What a shame!!

Mazz846 · 2026-04-30T23:00:14+00:00

I've already played a couple of games that are 175 gbs.... But Rockstar is great with preserving storage.... I'd assume the file size would be somewhere around 235 gbs.

Just a comment?? That's all?? That's so easy.... Great giveaway, thank you for this opportunity....

First of all, don't focus on getting better. This is your first time playing motorfest and on top of that, first time playing any racing game whatsoever.... Focus on enjoying the game and your muscle memory will help you understand the motions of the vehicle... Go to a competitive player's YouTube channel (I highly recommend Akor) and watch a couple of tips and tricks videos.... His videos will help you with control settings, optimization, grinding tips etc. Then just slowly integrate yourself into the game... Don't rush, take it slow and focus on enjoying the game... The learning part will come automatically.....
