I love these ideas, i know i'm late to the party but i have always felt the roar has been lacking a seafort/shrine/treasury equivalent

Flying a specific Community weekend flag personally, Loads of friends in said communities. Hence i do it as a kind of respect. :)

Massive respect my friend.

As a solo slooper I feel excluded from the event. I have no chance of fighting it off, getting instantly destroyed if I try. It tends to be manned by large crews. I've also often seen it patrolling with other galleons in an alliance to ensure no one can take it down. As such I see a lot of players dip when they see the Burning Blade on the horizon. However, I try to stick around and out manoeuver it in areas with lots of obstructions, I will then look for the Reapers chest. It's a great time to go after it, with most people are too busy with the BB and the skeleton camps so they are not paying attention to my little sloop. Then it's a race to hand it in before the Burning Blade gives chase.

Not sure if your wanting constructive criticism, but turning the video up including music might make the video a lil better for tiktok attention span people :)

Great video. I wouldnt want to know crew size but the rest of the changes look good.

Give me the hourglass video... now!

Cooked with this one. The meta needs to change in my opinion, blunder eor is too dominant but they should absolutely not be nerfed to the ground.

TBH glad the one shot is gone it was incredibly annoying to spawn in a fight and go immediately back to the ferry and you spawn back then your back to the ferry again until you sink just pretty good decision by rare

Good points all round! Nice video!

As a eor blunder user, i think what needs to be tweaked is primarily pistol, it needs to fill a new role with either more speed, ammo, or a new mechanic to make it more interesting than the eor. Currently eor is just always going to be the better option since it does far more damage, and you seriously need that when dealing with sweats who have 50+ pineapples on them. If pistol had a different use than simply being a weaker more pirate aesthetic eor, then it would better fill a slot in the meta. (Also double barrel needs a change with it's charge shot, it is so clunky)

Best video in town

I really want to find more trans/queer sot youtubers or streamers bc I want to watch people other than cishet guys play this game

As a person who has the rainbow flag equiped i didn't know this im not a troll and i wear for support not troll

Cringe, pathetic, disgusting. Correct title. Leave simp tears below.

Couldn't agree with you more on this. Thanks for the video.

As someone who's Ace and a longtime fan of Rare, I'm so thankful that Rare are truly committed to supporting the LGBTQ community unlike other companies like Bethesda. Unfortunately I've still witnessed plenty of Racist and Homophobic comments on this game, just like every other Xbox Live game. I saw a video the other day by a youtuber named GGgolden where a twitch streamer was accusing people of hack's and calling people the F slur on Livestream, that video really opened my eyes as to how horrible people can be on this game. My solution to fix this issue would be to add a link to the Support page on the menu. Additionally, Rare could add an AI powered voice moderation system to Sea of Thieves, Similar to games like Overwatch and Call of Duty. The AI would monitor the Voice chat and If it detects any Slurs or offensive language it will automatically create a report and send the transcripts to a human moderator for review.

I keg every ship with trans flag Better be safe than sorry 💀

It’s a fucking game who cares if you take it up the ass irl

There’s a couple of things I’d like to see changes as someone who goes into the devils roar more often than most: -Make it less grey, the area looks dead despite it clearly having life capable of living in the regions so more vibrant reds and oranges would nicely contrast with the safer shallows on the other side of the map -replacing the geysers with a unique enemy type exclusive to the region and not bound by any quest that simply wanders around the island though will attack if you get too close and have actual counter play that makes them diffficult but not tedious -volcano meteors can’t hit boats close to its base, making voyaging on an erupting island not impossible especially if there’s unique treasures only seen on an erupting island -a way to shut the volcanos off, a tower visible from almost anywhere on the island with a unique glint that gets brighter the closer to an eruption the island is, putting some new trinket in would stop the volcano but consume the trinket

I think the biggest problem with the Roar is that Rare decided to make it so seperated from the rest of the map resulting in it getting left behind. I am just not a fan of how this singular area has its own voyages and own everything it just feels like youre playing on a much smaller and less interesting map. Imagine if you had to choose between the wilds, shores of plenty and ancient isles and stay in that perticular area the entire time.

Just came back to the game and looking for other queer pirates!

lol I do my fishing in the devil's roar cuz no one is ever there to bother me

My friends and I stopped playing the game entirely after only a few months because we always flew the rainbow flag and every single person we came across would attack us on sight Of course we had no idea about the connotations

I think there should be like a 5% chance for a box of wonderous secrets to make it still super rare

I think the entire map should be remade, scattering the devils roar islands and volcanoes around the map. I wouldn’t mind going to a volcanic island on occasion, but forcing people to sail to the far end of the map only to have to deal with constant frustration at every island, is just not fun. Now if you had volcanos scattered around the map that could be used/avoided during regular adventure play, you would give players far more choice about how they navigate or engage in PvP.

If only rare listen...

Ashen loot spawns too frequently outside of the Roar. Ashen loot is worth double its regular counterpart. That was the reward for doing voyages in the Roar. The skelly fleet needs to spawn in the Roar again. Giving it ashen loot would make it worth risking the volcanoes. Molten Sands does need better loot and more frequent spawns. I would make Molten Sands spawn more frequently based on how many people are not sailing in the Roar. I'd balance it to count as 50% of the forts if no one was sailing in the Roar.

Arrrrrgh there be a ship full of fruits mateys 🏴‍☠️

I like your take on fixing the roar. However theres a few things that id like to address. 1 - The roar isnt actually a challenge, its just hard for the sake of being hard without any insentive to be skilled. Geisers and enemies are about the only skill based mechanics available, having the enemies be tougher and the geisers having to be avoided with some quick timing. I feel like the volcanos in particular are only a ticking tike bomb without much hope to avoid unless youre prepared. You can fix this by making the volcanos erupt more frequently, but also making it so theres special spots you can park your ship that test your helm skills as to avoid the rocks. 2 - the Ashen fort of the damned idea sounds really cool, but i feel like it should just be a bit simpler and kept as just your regular forts but woth ashen loots being different. But i do agree another variation of FOTD would be nice. I also have an idea that if any fort spawned in the roar it would be like the old forts used to be: the wave count, skeleton lords in fofs then ashen lord, etc. 3 - Voyages definitely do need to be updated but at the same time its also a better idea to keep them the same and just adjust the difficulty.

I would love for there to be a "defend the Fort" or in this case "Defend the skull" type of world event

As a person whos username is literally "femboi" along with my voice i get constant slurs thrown, however i tend to put them in the ground lol but still it isnt good

Order of Souls is my favorite, and has been since I first logged in and saw the lady with the cool makeup. I had no idea that they are the 'worst' faction - but I appreciate that you advise not buying the voyages - I am gett ing better results with your advice. Cheers!

Why won’t hunters call let us buy megalodon/kraken hunts (find a sunken ship, and follow its manifest just like an Athena voyage)

I've mentioned this is other videos, but i like the idea of a liche system being introduced for the order. The liche in question will chase you across the sea from island to island, and the only way to kill it would be to go to a skelly fort. The fort in question would have less waves to than a regular fort and maybe have a skelly sloop or 2 as a patrol, but all of the loot dropped from the ships, bosses and fort vault woukd ne sellable to the order.

i been thinking a voyage that leads u by 2 or 3 clues to a cementary where u fight new mutant skeletons and as a vault opes to a crypt full of loot

I find the merchant alliance the most boring faction by far. I like doing Order of Souls voyages from time to time. Pretty much all the merchant alliance quests are super boring and tedious.

I think Merchants are the worst. Merchant voyages are slow, and not that profitable, except for the sunken ships

It’s too late now, but putting reapers hideout in the Devil’s Roar would have been perfect.

remember to salute the flag every time you fly it <3

hard agree, i always fly the pride colors assholes dont get to claim our flag like that

I love these pitches. But I think they would go well wit the idea of the Devils Roar being a rotational area. The shroud ebs and flows, and Rare could make other areas like a frozen islands to the north west, and another biome to the South West. Then, with each season the shroud moves to unveil a different region, and closes up around another. This could allow season events (on top of the new content of course) to be more focused in areas like the Devils Roar/ Frozen Isles/ etc, and drive players to engage in the area more as it is “time limited” to 3ish months.

thank you for making this. Ive been flying the pride flag ever since I got back into the game and I didn't even know that it was used in this way :( (tbf, I haven't played in a while and am trying to get back into the game rn) I felt really sad when you explained what kind of people use it. but now ill definitely not stop flying it every time I can and be as nice as possible to everyone kinda way too late to this lol, but I just found your channel and I really like it💜 hope we'll meet on the seas one day

When my buddy and i played, we only played in the DR. We love this region. We love the look, the danger of the volcanoes, the lack of other players so little fear of pvp, and the bonus gold and xp you earn from Ashen loot

that event sounds too tedious and prone to griefing, just reduce the frequency/duration of volcanoes and remove geysers except right before a volcanic eruption. It's a cringe PVE zone because it sucks to play in, not because it lacks good loot

Grade five emissary quests you get in the Devils Roar should send you to islands in the Devils Roar. Right now it sends you out of the Roar which means no ashen villainous skulls D: I'll usually buy a couple of OoS quests and toss out any missions that only have one skull per island and then do any that have groups of three or four. So I think the easiest way to fix these quests right now is just make 4 packs the default. Most big islands in the roar are large enough to have multiple skelly packs roaming them after all. I'd put all the packs on one island, 4-8 skulls maybe, and have the last captain drop a message in a bottle that sends you to a second island to fight a Skelly lord, or an ashen lord in the roar. You could even have a skelly ship patrolling that island that you have to fight before landing. This would bring it into line with the time investment and profit margin of Lost Voyage quest and be a lot more fun to boot. You could honestly fix the ghost fleets the same way. Have a ghostly lord spawn on the island after you defeat the fleet.

The roar is my favorite place to solo grind. I especially like doing Order of souls missions there since geysers make clearing skeleton groups quick and easy. The Ashen vault is great solo money too, if you know the one medallion trick to solve the puzzle. Even without new events, I'd still be happy with the roar the way it is since it's where I go when I want to avoid pvp but still make some money. That said, the paranoia you talk about is never really gone cause I HAVE been attacked in the Roar before. The PvP I get there is usually on my own very casual level though and here's why I think that is: Pirates looking to PvP don't always avoid the roar... but the Sweat Lords usually do. Pardon the tangent here but I compare this phenomena to what happened with Smash Bros Brawl. Brawl came out after the highly successful Melee sparked a thriving competitive scene. While most causal players transitioned to Brawl the competitive players stuck with Melee. This major discrepancy was all thanks to one small change. Brawl added a 1% for any character to trip when they tried to sprint or dash across the stage. Tripping meant that your character would, through no fault of your own, be momentarily vulnerable...if you didn't trip right into an avoidable attack to begin with. The competitive scene reacted very negatively to this RNG mechanic and Stuck with Melee until Smash for the Wii U came out. Though there are still Brawl purists out there to be sure. I think the Sweat Lords avoid the Roar for the same reason. The idea that random chance could cause them to lose a fight they think they should have won is actually offensive to them or something lol. Whatever the reason, I'd be leary of any changes that incentivized them enough to bring them back to the roar, RNG be damned.

i don't think adding sea forts and things from the main map to the roar would do much but a world event with different mechanics is a great idea

how the hell is anyone getting pirate legend in a few hours?

i am 200 sub
