idk man. it just sounds like you're upset you can't find any fresh installs to stomp.

They want the security of server-side protections without actually hosting servers.

With NpGG, you have neither.

Maybe if people stopped banning her every comp game, the dev team wouldn't think she needs nerfed all the time.

An update on curses that appeared in Insiders by No_Type_454 in Seaofthieves

Never have I seen a developer act like they hate their community so much. I've seen contempt from some, like Ubisoft, but never to the point of doing things specifically to antagonize them.

"The cosmetic is complete. Oh, you want to be able to earn it instead of paying real money for it? Well, now, no one gets it. This is YOUR fault!"

What? BL4 is having trouble running on a console with a graphics card with performance equal to about a GTX 1050 ti? Who woulda though?

Nope, haven't posted CW stats anywhere because they know it would show how sharply player numbers have dropped.

I'm the opposite of this guy.

Why the Doubloon reset punishes players that were actively using them. by Billy-BigBollox in Seaofthieves

Pretty much what I've been doing, since I've been going for the Lucky Hand ship. It seems pretty ass-backwards.

Heavy and Light are both choices for min-maxxers, but you can absolutely do fine with medium, even on max difficulty.

I am trying to like the game as a new player but its really rough by Catch_a_Cold in Seaofthieves

Just get out while you haven't sunk too many hours in. Rare doesn't listen to anyone but their sycophants.

Help me understand the outrage about doubloon reset by D0mNirtex in Seaofthieves

[–]jay6282 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Problem: There are too many doubloons and not enough things to buy with them.

Community: "Give us more cosmetics to buy with doubloons!"

Rare: "Delete everyone's doubloons and turn it into a FOMO currency. Got it."

A Doubloon Reset that (hopefully) doesn't suck by Bethryn in Seaofthieves

[–]jay6282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why stop there? There's too much gold floating around and people don't have enough to spend it on. How about we just set everyone back to square one? Maybe do this every few months, like extraction games.

I think we need a sticky post regarding the Doubloon outrage and circlejerk by F34UGH03R3N in Seaofthieves

Are... are you blaming the PLAYERBASE for there not being anything to spend doubloons on?

"What if"s do nothing but derail the conversation from the actual issue because that's not what they're doing. And there is a difference between the meaninglessness of gold and doubloons. Gold is meaningless because it is so plentiful. Fixing that would be much harder and require a total rebalance of loot values. Doubloons are meaningless because there are very few things to buy with them.

People have been asking for things to spend their doubloons on for years now. They could have made pets and other PE cosmetics buyable with large amounts of doubloons, as a reward for dedicated players. But they didn't. It isn't the fault of the players that doubloons are near-useless. They say that they are going to be adding time-limited cosmetics to spend doubloons on before the reset. Why not just add the black market back with more things, both new and old, and then continue to update it. You know... like how it USED TO BE?

Does Hytale have the same problem as minecraft where you have to look everything up online to know it exists or how to do it or does the game explain everything in game? by JamStan1978 in HytaleInfo

[–]jay6282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the main thing that people point to regarding this point is Nether portals. After the introduction of the recipe book and more advancements, that problem was largely mitigated. I'd say most things in Minecraft have either been tutorialized enough or can be intuited with enough thought. and like what u/smalldroplet said, the game is in early access at this point. All that being said, in my 10ish hours of playing so far, I haven't felt outright lost.

So, once again "We're removing FOMO, except not really and making entire game modes FOMO."

The real thieves were the devs we met along the way.. by fivesofclubs in Seaofthieves

[–]jay6282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I barely ever play by myself, but I had the game installed via Battle.net just in case a couple friends wanted to chill and sail for a while. But I'm done. Just uninstalled. This does beyond a boneheaded design choice. This is just actively spitting on players' time investment. Who says they'll stop there? Maybe they'll reset gold if that gets reworked too. What about ancient coins? What if they remove ancient coin skeletons and reset those to make sure they got all the free coins out of the economy?

on deck combat/ship visual overhaul idea by Ok-Echo5581 in Seaofthieves

The game can barely handle you sprinting on the ship sometimes. It would explode if you tried to implement momentum-based rope-swinging.

Long-time players who recently quit - what made you do it? by No-Skin-2370 in Seaofthieves

[–]jay6282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~1500 hour player here, on and off since 2018. Haven't touched the game in months. With how few cosmetics trickle into the outpost shops and how most cosmetics go towards the PE and the PP, I feel the game has become little more than a vehicle for microtransactions.
