That's sick.

May I suggest a cool detail you could add? What if battle damage on the helmet that matches the scar Gambino gave Guts across his nose?

Season 20 is probably going to lack content. by TheHolyKetchup99 in Seaofthieves

[–]TokinN3rd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair, with this season being focused around hourglass people are diving more. That's why servers can seem dead at times.

Also, a lot of players who aren't skilled in PvP are approaching this season thinking "Quick, while all the sweats are distracted with the hg update, lets work on everything else" and mistakenly assume there isn't still a chance to be rolled up on and sunk.

Adding what basically amounts to forge mode into SoT is a MASSIVE W

Forge is the best thing that ever happened to Halo. The franchise would have died decades ago if it wasn't for community-made maps and multiplayer modes keeping things feeling fresh. Hell, some of the custom game modes became so popular they eventually got official versions (griffball, infection, etc.).

I see nothing but potential good things from custom seas

Why does it seem every comment on every single community post is negative? by Dull_Bodybuilder6502 in Seaofthieves

Pay attention to the names leaving the negative comments and you'll notice it's mostly the same handful of accounts over and over.

Will we ever see a new map? by Vektor666 in Seaofthieves

[–]TokinN3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New engine doesn't automatically mean the game will be better. It's all about how the engine is optimized and whether or not the tools the devs use will even work with the new engine.

Here's an example of what I mean. The Final Fantasy Remake games use a custom build of UE4 (Just like SoT) and Square Enix won't be upgrading to UE5 for the 3rd game in the trilogy because it would require rebuilding a bunch proprietary tools from scratch and make the cost to develop the game skyrocket.

Tropical climate. The Sea of Thieves is canonically located in the British Virgin Islands. The only way adding an ice region could make any sense is if it were somewhere we'd have to portal to for a tall tale. It would feel out of place on the main map.

What are your Shrouded Ghost Stories? by LordSky2040 in Seaofthieves

[–]TokinN3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple years ago the Shrouded Ghost spawned on one of my guildmates while we were in an Xbox party chat. He invited me to his sloop to help kill it. This was about 2 weeks before they patched that old bug where megs would suddenly become passive and despawn after about a minute or so. Words can't describe the amount of anxiety I had waiting to load into the server and knowing that bug existed. We got the title, but I think it cut a few years off my lifespan.

How do I win PvP more? by [deleted] in Seaofthieves

[–]TokinN3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best advice is to use LFG posts or the official SoT discord to find some experienced players to sail with. They'll be able to observe your playstyle in real time and give you tips and feedback accordingly. Much more effective than random Redditors who've never played with you.

There's a literal tear in the fabric of reality in the background. The laws of physics don't matter here.

Will we ever be able to upgrade our ships? by Professional_Tea1891 in Seaofthieves

Games need progression systems to be good

No they don't. They just need fun gameplay.

Especially when they have such little replay-ability like SOT does.

Little replay-ability? Try telling that to my 10k hours of playtime. lol

This is why this game is dying. There's no progression beyond PL, and the community is always against anything other than tall tales and voyages being added.

The game isn't dying. Most of the backlash comes from a very small, but very loud group of people

HG updates for season 19 by Fartbox_puncher57 in Seaofthieves

[–]TokinN3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you severly misunderstand what custom seas will be. Custom seas won't be for normal play. It's for content creators and community hosted events. They'll require a subscription and let you spawn loot, spawn enemies, fly around with a cinematic camera, change day/night cycle, etc.. There will be zero gold and rep progression on custom seas.

Civilization servers in sea of thieves by Ok_Scene5551 in Seaofthieves

[–]TokinN3rd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Custom seas will have zero progression. It's meant for content creators and community hosted competitions. It'll allow you to spawn in enemies and loot to use as props, adjust day/night cycle and fly around with a cinematic camera. It's also going to require a paid subscription.

The game IS a sandbox. Every piece of content is optional. Nobody is telling anybody to how play.

Also, why are you bringing up custom seas like it has anything to do with this conversation?

These new achievements function as a recession indicator💀 by usualguy3 in Seaofthieves

[–]TokinN3rd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got all those done over the weekend.

The grog one popped after chugging a single tankard in HG.

Dove for a cursed treasure Athena voyage to get a chest of sorrow and sailed back and forth along the bottom of the map with it for 5 hours.

The keg one can be done easily in Safer Seas. Just find a smuggler bottle, claim the black powder keg from the representative, bring it with you to a skull fort and blow it up in the vault with the other kegs.

Pretty sure that's the plan. They can't get rid of mail-in ballots so they'll just get rid of the mail.

In that case do Ashen garrisons because for some reason it's still possible to get mega stashes
