11 Things to Change/Add to Sea of Thieves

Sea of Thieves is not a perfect game, far from it. But it is super fun and therefore I have a high passion for this magnificent software. So instead of just saying: This part sucks, FIX IT. I am going to try and be more helpful and say: This part sucks, here is how to fix it.
Oh and also some additions as well :)

I accidentally AFK farmed when I first started playing. I was trying to put a power keg on the ship but I didn’t know what button to use in order to drop the chest. Ended up blowing myself, the crew, the ship. Got sent to the brig because of it and I fell asleep from Boredom. I woke up rich.

I’d love to see a new threat to the seas like a Royal Navy patrolling the seas. It would be awesome if you can be in battle with a navy or even raid a navel outpost and rescue your crew from jail.

[@alexchen5596]

I know righttt sometimes the server is just a bit empty and lack enemies. The player bounty and the royal navy will go well together.

[@EvangelistAidan]

The shroud or the Red Sea protects you from the Royal Navy aka the grand maritime union

[@Schmorgus]

Agreeing with Royal Navy patrols, but if players would be jailed by them, that would create a lot of disconnecting players :P _Kids wouldn't wait, they would just leave and start over._

[@danielcangelosi3995]

but there should be the option of doing quests for them and give people like an option to be a pirate legend or royal privateer..

[@TheLichruler]

Minor lore thing: Merfolk in the Sea of Thieves genuinely enjoy helping pirates who fell off their ship. No one truly knows why, but that's why they smile. Also lore thing: Merfolk don't reproduce traditionally. They find pirates who want to become Merfolk (usually super friendly pirates), and then wrap their legs in silver, which causes the fins to grow.

[@general_prodigy]

the last lore fact is just too much wtf

[@TheLichruler]

[@carom.9858]

[@gamersonly510]

The bounty idea is amazing! It would reign in some of the notorious "grief" players because they would literally be earning a target on their backs by running around ruining everyone's game. That was an amazing idea to place a bounty on them.

[@chief_exe]

I think why they didn't add a vote to kick is so you dont get "trolled". Imagine helping a crew for 3 hours getting super good loot, than just as your about to cash in with them they all vote kick you. Now that's 1 way to "Save, quit, uninstall."

[@braiden5753]

Chief_exe True, but pirates backstab people all the time. Even the pirate lord has 3 knives in his back for eternity because of it.

[@chief_exe]

@@braiden5753 Ye but vote kick isnt really a "roleplay" aspect. That's like adding the ability to kill a randomer in the game with the push of a botton and than say "Welp pirates died of diseases all the time" but xd

[@Schmorgus]

Could just add a simple "kick-block" if a mission is active.

[@ajboyle2455]

They should have two conditions on vote kick though. 1. If you started the session, you cannot be kicked. 2. If you have been in the game for 30+ minutes you cannot be kicked. Before then, you won’t get much loot, and can be kicked for afk.

[@jahjah7940]

The devs of this game are the best ones i’ve ever seen. They add most of or everything (if possible) the community requests of them. AI ships? Done. Meg? Here it is. New areas? Yup. Flags and more ship customization? Absolutely. And so on. Send this video directly to them and they should get to work.

[@furtifk1063]

These ideas are all very cool. I especially like the "Bounty on player" feature you mentioned. This would in theory be very easy for the devs to code. However the ropes on the side of the sails is a good idea in theory but coding this would be a nightmare. The swinging animation and mechanic would be very tricky to add I reckon. Very good video :)

[@rcarletonsmith]

[@ajdemillio2827]

It would be cool if they added a faction system of some sort to put more of an emphasis rivalry and pvp but in the adventure map. That could also be incorporated with the bounty on other players but they can be set by factions to get revenge.

[@mushroomking8304]

I feel like a pirate faction system would have to be a players set up sort of thing. Like pirates will be pirates no matter the case. Putting them in a faction would only encourage the PVE grinding that already goes on, as many people are then safe from a larger portion of players (players in the same faction). I think it ultimately comes down to the players. Like if there was a huge allied group on a server that went around as a 5 galley fleet would be very cool to see, with other players forming alliances to fight them. I feel like this was the original idea behind sea of thieves, though that doesn't actually occur.

This game really needs some wildlife. Coral reefs teaming with fish and other sea creatures, Rock pools again with little sea creatures scattered about. Islands with caiman, monkeys, parrots, seagulls, crabs, jaguars, lizards, turtles etc etc. Also they could be used to craft gear like hats, necklaces, clothing etc. Would really help make this game feel alive.

[@JamPuppers]

Agreed, I'm new to this game but watched vids on it. Graphics are stunning non the less.

[@Barakon]

How bout we make AFK farmers literally walk (or rather get pushed off) the plank? Imagine, instead of kicking someone and they immediately just pop outta existence, you tie em up, and then push them off of the plank or make their character automatically walk off the plank in a cinematic cutscene, which then results in death that has their character be booted off of the session and into the main menu after exiting the ferry of the damned, and they only get control when the reach the menu. Why? Presentation, immersion, and LORE.

When u get on the top of the ladder you go down because the ladder sags as of the weight of the pirate so they should add so that heavier pirates make the ladder sag more that lighter pirated

[@Oposshroom]

Still valid stuffs, Id love to see some changes to swimming shipwrecks can be very annoying when they are at suck awkward angles

[@gamersonly510]

I would like to see the outposts fleshed out more. Right now the outposts are just a bunch of merchant NPCs selling adventures. I would like the tavern to be fleshed out; you should be able to hang in the tavern and rent rooms to refill your health meter. I'd also like to see evil mermen added to the game. Perhaps an underwater city full of these evil mermen?

[@thewhalelord8732]

For the bounty, how about the crew of the outlaw pirate can’t cash it in (as the game won’t let them pick it up), but the wanted pirate, once he respawns, can sell it. But only getting half of what he is worth. This system would imply teamwork and won’t make the wanted pirate rage quit as he is about to die. Just a thought I came up with.

[@haydenparsons9210]

The rope is a good idea I think that being able to tie the rope to the wheel during a storm would also be a good use for it

[@hopelessnugget9417]

Does anyone think that you should be able to choose/buy a keg of grog that will give you different harmless effects, like a fire keg that after drinking you burp smoke and vomit fire or a water keg when you burp bubbles come out and when vomiting you throw up seaweed and fish bones. Idk I think that would be really cool to have

[@polly9772]

Now that emmirsarys are a thing i would like to see maybe temples where you would be able to worship the three mane enemys (skeltons,megaldon,kraken) if you could worship these and get cool buffs like skeletons do less damage and pay less attenttion to you. The megaldon could increase swim speed and megaldon health is decreased.Kraken chance is lower and kraken specail move chance is lower but these would only work like emmisarys so the whole crew would have to choose to worship one and the crew cant pick one each to worship buffs also dont build up they only buff the crew once these. Temples would be like the reapers hidout or arena bases in adventurem mode

[@douglasparkinson4123]

we had an AFK which i knew IRL, we were in closed crew. we lpcked him in the vrig of our brigantine, cashed the chestes we had then sank it with him locked in. he had an extreme fear of drowning.

[@avian1799]

Idea for your Voting Wish: a „Vote to Maroon“ Option. Pirates who don‘t contribute anything can be left on an Island nearby without letting them return via Mermaid. If they get lucky, they could find a Rowboat to row for an Outpost and request a sloop or something. Or, another crew could find them and bring the Pirate along. Or, ya know, kill him. They could even let him join the crew if they had open space. If he finds his old crew, he could beg to rejoin them, which is entirely the Crew‘s decision. They could vote to let him back on the ship or vote against it and just kick him back into the Ocean. Would be great for roleplayers and horrible for AFK Farmers because they won‘t get any of the rep or gold.

[@MatteoDegro]

Fixing the ladder animation and carrying two trinkets at once should already be in the game. A player bounty hunter system as you describe it also sounds great. One small change I'd like to see - make the golden skeletons a little easier to kill with your sword as they're a real pain in the ass if you've run out of shots and there's no easily accessible ammo nearby.

[@taaamas7785]

1:01 you say seconds, i gotta wait about 10 minutes every time still, i've just learned to deal with it also wanna point a few things. bountys on players would just encourage targeting from people with alot of money to waste by sending everyone on the server after them, this may even happen to new people in which they are just going to get relentlessly tracked down. not to mention it could be easily exploited with people putting bounties on people they know or allied with for free money or just exchange. the afk kick has also been suggested for a while, but that can be abused heavily. imagine doing some highest tier quest then a group of friends decide to kick you before handing it in, because yarr. also yea, fuck galleons grave
