Sea Of Thieves Is In Trouble...

[@JonBardcore]

We're live every Tuesday through Sunday here on KZbin & on Twitch at twitch.tv/JonBardcore Don't forget to subscribe & follow! What do you think about the Sea Of Thieves of today?

[@joku02]

I miss those simpler times to be honest.... Today game is so full of stuff, gold is worthless, players are rare sight on High seas... Theres a whole list of things that needs to be done to this game, but how to do that whit the old console limitations, is easier said than done. Think the game needs a fresh start. From ground up, to a new platform that allows space and more stuff to be added whitout the game completely breaking in the meanwhile. But I dont want to blame Rare either, theyre doing what they can whit the recourses they have, and poor Drew is the Groom of the Stool for them whenever they screw Drew up..... I really feel bad for the man for being the scapegoat for the rest of the crew, even though Drew has no control over it. And has to sit there, and let the community throw shit to Him for others mistakes.

[@ian.404]

the seasonal format really isn't helping the devs huh

[@JonBardcore]

I truly think that it's actually chaining them down.

[@ian.404]

yep, i think they should get rid of the seasonal format and work like more 'free-flowing' live services, the old adventures were a hated by many for 'taking dev resources away' but i think if they implement stuff on a regular basis in bit sized pieces when ready that would get engagement back to the community. And the insider's nda should just be removed already, hell, apex legends got a titanic leak last year(basically every legend up until alter got leaked in a early development state and the community still was hyped for new seasons) a test server should be there for hyping and polishing up content, feedback from the masses makes a game great, see helldivers 2 as an example, how the game changed from a sinking ship to a(for now) beloved game once again after listening to feedback(payday 3 is also going into the route of listening to the community and getting the rewards)

[@x-invincible-z]

What was the older format? I'm just curious... How they fumbled it like that ... They had plenty of time I believe. Like previous seasons we had like a new chest and some quality of life stuff.

[@ian.404]

@@x-invincible-z they used to release some time-locked events like the destruction and saving of golden-sands that resulted in port merrick, the hunt for the shrouded ghost with merrick, belle's hunt for the sword of pendragon, those are the ones i remember on first glance. But some in the community were against it arguing that those were irrelevant and took development time away from actual seasons, cause they made some content that was going to vanish from the game in the future and blah blah blah, but in my view that's the nature of a ever evolving game, content comes and goes, how do you thing WoW survived for more than 20 godamn years, community engagement and ever evolving content.

@@ian.404 6 years to crouch… why are people surprised

[@Rolex-s1f]

I get the impression that insiders is full of people who either wanted the cosmetics and are no longer interested or people wanting to discover the glitches and keep them quiet so they get the early advantage, maybe some other way like you suggested is the way forward

[@JonBardcore]

There definitely is a contingent of folks like that but I do know of others who are diligent in their reports. We just need to lift those folks up!

[@CutePyro0]

I tested insiders during the period we was testing the new flameheart forts a bug i found allowed you to noclip outside of these vaults when ever you wish allowing you free reign of the map without being seen heard and unable to take damage after a week of testing on this bug specifically i sent in my findings to rare under the appropriate conditions (yes we have specific ticket conditions) this bug was then reviewed and patched shortly afterwards and was never made into the live build. I know they is roughly 2-5% of the insiders who are testing and passing feedback to get the issues resolved however most do not test and are afk or hold onto the issues till live and then exploit them. Because of the NDA they is footage i can’t share showing this bug in question but should the NDA be removed i would be happy to share it

[@Cqat1]

@@JonBardcore even things that are reported don't get fixed. bugs that have been reported and shared in insiders can very much still appear in live because rare seems to be terrible at coordination. also, the entire game code is a big mess. a lot of sloppy code and functions that were fine when the game was completely new are now the foundation for the huge game that so is now. the things that are possible to do just by modding the game a bit are astonishing and honestly straight up emberassing to be possible in a online pvp game. the genuine best solution i see is the often suggested sot 2. new servers, maybe a newer engine and a well coded baseline, that actually acts as a solid framework for future updates. they'd no longer have to first condense and cramm everything that already exists into the server ram limitations and on fixing old errors that still persist to this day and instead ACTUALLY focus on adding content and cosmetics with their smaller teams just working to keep everything in check.

[@Theta117]

@@Rolex-s1f most insiders stopped reporting bugs because they end up in the game at seasonal launch anyway. I've seen this happen numerous times including this very season.

[@LuckyOwI777]

There are of course always those who will keep secret about bug or whatever. But there are a lot of people that report bugs ang glitches, that lots of stuff that does get reported gets ignored

[@Theta117]

As a longtime sea of thieves player it's pretty obvious that rare has accumulated massive tech debt over the years and has a broken way of developing the game. Bugs that are reported and fixed in insider still end up in the seasonal release. Rare has like 2 other contractor companies working on sea of thieves now. Lets axe this contractor model and push for inhouse development teams again. Lets cultivate talent in the studio again because that's where we get amazing games.

[@JonBardcore]

It is true that there are other contracted teams working on SoT but I believe their primary functions lean more toward art and thematic items, like new Emporium stuffs. System building and bug fixing are pretty squarely in Rare's wheelhouse. But totally agree that more talent in the studio would be great!

[@Theta117]

@@JonBardcore I know there's one contractor that does UI/UX but the other one does assist with development afaik. Either way if they want to right the ship they'll need to spend some time getting the game to a point where they can develop effectively

[@MrOskiee]

P. T. R. Insiders obviously isn't good enough. They need more eyes on the updates before they go live.

[@JonBardcore]

I don't think it's a cure-all but more engagement in Insiders is better than what we have currently. But it's not just a player-side solution for sure. Something in QC over at Rare needs to change. A lot of it.

[@MrOskiee]

@@JonBardcore I agree it's not a fix all, but honestly a ptr would solve a lot of issues. The biggest problem is bugs and such getting through the qa process, like crud launching and quick swapping. A lot less of those issues would make it to live if they're simply more eyes on the test realm. They also need to be more flexible. They have this sense when it comes to the community that they know what's best, but obviously they don't because they keep breaking the game.

[@mikailmasa]

Sea Of Thieves Is In Trouble... again, and again. For 3 years we giving them feedback, they banning us, blocking us and dont listen. I genuinely hope MS will do something with them, maybe give it to someone who knows what to do.

[@JonBardcore]

I highly doubt the game would ever move studios, it's a rarity in the game industry as a whole because it so rarely works out in the end. Can I ask what sort of feedback you've given regarding the game in the past?

[@mrhuffnpuff]

hourglass has hurt the game considerably...... unbalanced the player ecosystem too much and they havent been able to find a way to fix it.

[@JonBardcore]

Unbalanced it in what way?

[@mrhuffnpuff]

@@JonBardcore so online games always have 'player ecosystems' in some way. And these ecosystems need to be very delicately nurtured throughout the games life in order for said game to be sustained no differently to a real ecosystem. For instance, if an apex predator is hunted to extinction the prey they kept in check would then explode and would then devastate all the flora in the region which would then wreck all the other life etc. In sea of thieves, hourglass, for as much fun as it can be, it unbalanced the player ecosystem as it not only brought a lot more pvper's to the scene it also made the game a lot more hardcore. (Sharks overpopulated and got more dangerous) Now the pve'ers(who are the lifeblood of games as they are the engines that all other player types depend) which are the food of pvpers every game over, are not only being hunted by a lot more pvpers, but the pvpers are a lot more sweaty and competitive which ruins the fun of the pver's as they feel they no longer even have a chance. Over time, pver's leave as they're not having as much fun anymore, and then the pvper's run out of food and leave too. Player ecosystems is a pretty cool game design subject. Richard Bartle hearts, clubs, diamonds, spades is essentially where it all began if your interested. PS. For my personal story as I dont play the game anymore. I'm a 'Diamond' player type, which essentially means I like to achieve everything and hoard items, and build etc. When RARE started making 1000 level grinds it killed the fun for me. Imagine trying to reach 1000 levels for ONE faction on low pop australian servers where it takes on average 6-7 minutes to find a match and youll likely be fighting the same 2-4 crews over and over again. One night I played for about 4 hours, didnt win a single match as the two crews i kept getting were super sweaty and i only grinded about 3-4 levels in those 4 hours. Soul crushing.

[@Dunkwart]

@@JonBardcore He might be saying that game development has shifted to favor a PVP player's style of sailing over that of PVE players? Not that there hasn't been development for both, but the PVE aspects of SoT seem to be lack luster in comparison with the swashbuckling counterpart. A common argument people use to disprove this idea is the inclusion of Safer Seas however even that seems to punish PVE players by slowing their progression and gold earning. Even looking at the story of Sea of Thieves, the Reapers have been the focus for years now & they constantly get updates surrounding the Reaper style of play. I could definitely see how someone could see the game as unbalanced in that way, especially if the statistic you included in the video about the rate of running into other players/ships is true. What's your thoughts on it?

[@SubtleFlow]

​@@mrhuffnpuff I'm sorry but I do not agree with your premise. It is not PvE players who are the "lifeblood" or "engines upon which other players depend" That is absolute nonsense. PvPvE players are what you are actually talking about here, the players that enjoy both and partake in both are actually what power this game. PvP only or PvE only players actually hurt this community in my opinion as they both lobby to swing things more one way or the other The game is at it's best when there is a balance between both. To be honest if every PvE player left the game the only thing that would change would be a smaller player base. Plenty of us would still be collecting our loot, doing our events and voyages while also fighting off those who want to take it and enjoying doing it. Believe it or not but SoT is a PvPvE title. Not PvP with a little PvE stuff and not PvE with a little PvP stuff. If you only like one side then you are not someone who is consuming the game to it's fullest and assuming that only consuming half of the games content and then calling yourself the lifeblood of games like this is honestly laughable.

[@coleb7503]

@@mrhuffnpuff the issue is players don’t want to / or refuse to spend time to improve and defend themselves. Even learning basic tactics can defend against the majority of crews lol. Most are mid with not much skill, so a little pressure back and they run off. The issue is the player base being so anti competitive and anti fighting. To much complaining and not enough hard work. Even if it’s a couple hours every other day. Then once you can defend, you can PVE your heart out with no worry.

I stopped playing at the end of season 13 due to the toxicity and cheating issues. After I became pirate legend, people on that game became so pathetic by saying they were cool and chill, then shooting you and sinking your ship even when there was nothing on your ship and they knew there wasn't. I've encountered more cheaters and toxic people in 3 weeks of playing then I did playing since the beginning of season 13. Players are getting punished for playing on safe seas by receiving only 30% profit from chests and they are limited on commendation awards. People are forced to play high seas.

[@PrimoPier]

@@kishapraegitzer3194 Safer Seas should never have been implemented. It was the beginning of the end of the game. One of the major, most fundamental principles of the game is player interaction. Whether positive or negative, they shape the game and player experience.

[@peterchasten2790]

I mean, most of what happened to you here is meant to happen. Your ship getting sunk by players who attacked you isn't toxic. It's just a choice they can choose. I don't wanna be too mean in saying this but.... Get better?

[@MSOkraMan]

By the time they released safer seas I'd been a pirate legend for years. I'd quit due to the toxic players that infest this game. I looked to return when I saw they were adding safer seas then I saw that I couldn't earn anything in safer seas so I never returned. It's there loss. I would be sending them money every season but they don't want players like us. I've accepted it. Not mad. You should as well.

I've been playing Sea of Thieves since launch and the last few seasons it's been getting harder for me to keep playing. Last season I barely hit lvl 50 on the plunderpass. I know a while back they said they were gonna be back to their core.. giving people the tools to make their own stories.. and that sounds all fun but it gets boring after a while though. For me personally I loved the adventures, Tall Tales, etc.. The adventures got me always excited to find out more about the npc's...yeah the new weapons are fun but for me personally it doesn't give much meaning to the game. I've noticed since last year when they had to extend 2 seasons with extra weeks the quality of their updates ( issues, bugs,..) have increased. I really hope they get their act together and fix their internal issues so SoT becomes an amazing game again but for now... I don't see myself booting up the game anymore

[@luigigaminglp]

Sea of Thieves is one of the greatest games i've ever played. I have ~2k hours to back that claim up. However, with recent developments, it feels like they have lost touch. It feels like noone on their team actually plays this game. Ill use the Blowdarts as an example: They were designed for tuckers, at least if they wanted to stick to the theme. But here's the thing: There is one thing that is better than a silent attack: Not attacking at all. Once your cover is blown it does not matter if you were quiet or not. Your opponents loot should be in your hands, either by sinking or stealing. And yeah, their QC is nonexistant. I've Encountered a bug in live servers whereas if you died in a Mermaid shrine the loot would reset.

[@JonBardcore]

I think blowdarts are an interesting weapon that we'll see different use cases as time goes on but you're right in that a tuck steal is ideal. There's nothing that gets the blood pumping like one and it's one of the reasons we play, to get that adrenaline rush!

It's not, true. I think for me it's more like "Show me what you are doing to correct the situation." If they gave me that, I'd be less worried. But so far it's words and not actions.

[@LeslyTheAviator]

First, YAY JON BRADCORE VIDEO! ❤ Now, some commentary on the situation: I... wish, I could say I was surprised. I wish I could say I want to come back to this game, but this season really burnt me on the whole state of unrelease of S14. This was the season I was most looking forward to, and maybe somewhere in my gut I knew this would be a long shot but this is an unadulterated shame. I am no game dev, nor am I any sort of project manager, but this feels like mismanagement of resources and a lack of testing. At no point in time should you release a game project publicly if is not in any state worth playing. I understand that there may be internal crunchtimes and I'm sure the lads and lasses behind the wheel are doing their best to deliver the most whole pirate experience (even if it doesn't feel that way) that they can. I cab understand what Rare is doing, though looks like they are just guessing and flying by the seat of their pants. Like all formal projects, there has to be some ground work involved and a blueprint as to how it all should work. They should focus on completing one step at a time as opposed to constantly innovating. Innovation does play a factor in the creative process but if your next iterative step is to leave your previous step in disrepair to put a new shiny coat of paint on what can only be described as a bug hunter's paradise the like that a Helldiver would envy, that's not ideal. I agree, the season model isn't ideal for SoT, and if they are to keep it they should make MORE content per expansion but take longer to release. You can't enjoy a half baked cookie is what I'm saying. Overall I am just disappointed. I wish there was more to say about it other than Rare is getting sloppy. Because they are. I know Rare can do better, they made SoT! One of the most ambitious titles I have had the pleasure of experiencing in my life. My favorite game of all time. This is not Rare, this is a shell of what Rare used to be. Its impactful to say the least, that the devs have fully rolled back an entire update because it was so under-complete. Its an embarrassment to what they can actually do. I will have to reconsider my pirate antics, and quite possibly hang my hook/cage the parrot. This, is not how you run a game.

[@JonBardcore]

I appreciate you taking the time to write all of that out. It's definitely a hot topic and I'm glad we're all having a conversation about it! I can feel the disappointment from you and I know you care about the game Lesly. I truly hope that Rare rights the ship.

[@Indioh]

Streaming insiders is an amazing idea I've never could thought about it... League of Legends and Paladins do this, and changes are mostly balanced not even before coming out (can't talk about bug fixes in Paladins since they are a joke but at least they hear balacing stuff)

[@JonBardcore]

I just think it's a win-win-win. Streamers get to get eyeballs on them showcasing fun broken stuff. Viewers get to laugh and enjoy and Rare gets to fix in the backend to make sure it doesn't break when it goes into the live build!

[@BariDiddle]

I came into this game around season 11 and its been kind of rough to watch how its being handled with each seasonal update. I dont believe the team should restrict themselves to this seasonal update schedule if it's proven itself to be ineffective time and time again. This game is huge and has a lot of moving parts, it needs time to work on, i would much rather a developer takes their time and be open and honest about it instead of just promising things that never arrive. I believe, personally, the choice of the devs to temporarily disables features that were broken on release was a good one even though it sucks. Sure, this company could have done more to prevent these things from hitting the final project with more bug hunting but unfortunately i dont believe it is the developers themselves we should pissy about with all of this mess. I wouldnt be surprised to learn that this pressure to not search for every single bug before release is from corporate executives breathing down their neck about meeting quotas or what have you. I love this game and i only have a couple hundred hours playing it, I too wish to continue spending time with friends and myself in this delightful sandbox of a game

[@JonBardcore]

You make a good point about the corporate pressure side of the equation. Rare has bosses that they have to listen to and potentially appease from a financial and satistfaction based perspective! Glad that you're enjoying the game though. It truly is something that I can't put down.

I like this game but I only have time to play once a week. I panic whenever I see sails on the horizon because I know they will immediately come to destroy my ship and take whatever I have collected. Servers seem to be quieter during workdays so I avoid playing on the weekend. We sometimes have a crew of 4 but mostly enjoy exploring or hitting fortresses. I guess we could try the quiet seas but it feels not worth it for the nerf on the rewards. I wish there was a friendship sea where you could enjoy the gameplay with allies. We are still new to the game but whenever we try one of the events we just get destroyed by other players. Even after helping them complete the objective.

[@JonBardcore]

I'd recommend not thinking about Safer Seas as a mode to earn rewards. Think of it as a training ground, especially around PvE events. That way, you can finish them up faster in High Seas and not have to worry about taking too long and other players rolling up on you. Especially with a group of four, you could dominate!

I honestly don't know if that would make a difference. The game's engine is baked in at Unreal 4.10 and dev'd to be optimized for the XBOX One. The optimization change might lead to something but I don't think the bugs we're encountering have to do with that specifically.

[@TabernadoDani]

I'm now reaching level 70 of the season as a solo slooper and haven't really encountered any major issues or bugs like those in the video... Also, no one has boarded me with a harpoon gun yet (although I did board 2 or 3 boats with it) so far, so I dunno. I mean, don't get me wrong, I definitely agree with the video and the need for Rare to do things better alongside the community, but I feel like the presentation sometimes is very incendiary. If you go by KZbin videos alone one would believe the game is completely broken and unplayable. And that's not true. Cheating, for example, definitely exists. But it's not nearly as common as people make it. As someone that is on a skill level where I completely dominate a lot of players but also sometimes get completely dominated by some others (so something on the mid/above average range I'd guess), I have been called a cheater before (lol) and could easily call some people that destroy me cheaters if I didn't know it was simply a skill matter; a lot of people will simply call everyone a cheater because they're simply better. Anyway, I digress. I agree there must be a better way than insiders. For example, people found a better way to quick swap during the insider testing and I suppose barely anyone reported that, lol. They just benefit from it when it comes live. But yeah, I do agree with the video. I just wish people wasn't so inflammatory, the game is quite enjoyable, it's not like it's a dumpster fire xD

It's good that you're having fun with the game!

Rare needs to revamp existing content for the next big update instead of adding Example: the devils roar That place is terrible not cuz of its mechanics, but because there is no incentive to go there, we don’t even get a sea fort there, a skeleton camp, or a shrine or treasury. And by far molten sands is terrible, 3 chests and a chest of rage is all your really gettin- make it an ashen athena add some better ashen loot etc so it’s on par with the fort of fortune, it’s the only fort in that region, it will only spawn if a player is in the devils roar, and is on the other side of the map Tall tale poi’s place like the coral fortress have been forgotten, literally nothing happens there period other than 1 tall tale, let’s make it a world event, add coral loot in a chamber and you clear waves of siren, Skelton and crawler. The shores of gold. That place is barren now you use it for a tall tale that’s it, let’s add unique pirate legend voyages that you can do there that earn you some good loot The sea of combat problem, you have pve and PvP players mixed into one session, some want combat others want fish, let’s bring back the sea dog guild and anyone who flies their flag only gets a bonus for fighting other sea dogs in that session so let’s add sea dog poi to give incentive to do it, that way the PvPers are getting their combat, a unique guild dedicated soley to PvP back, and something to do so that pve has some alone time to do its thing,

[@coldtimber4972]

I believe it was Captain Falcore who has covered this season's shitshow, and his take is that the game is pretty much maxxed out in features and content (and thus the engine and servers and stuff can't support any more). He feels that a SoT 2 would be the best way to go forward, to allow rare more freedom without having to work around the existing shitshow that SoT is. What are your thoughts on this mr. Bardcore?

[@JonBardcore]

It's a tough call for sure. On one hand, a new engine/new game would mean those potential restrictions are released. On the other hand, it would basically mean everything people have worked towards in SoT would go poof. I'd be really curious how MMOs like WoW and FFXIV handle it because their game engines are locked in too but they seem to be able to add huge swaths of content on decade plus old engines.

[@coldtimber4972]

@@JonBardcore an interesting take. I agree, it's sort of a dilemma where Rare either frees itself from the issues that SoT has (at the expense of people likely not being able to carry their stuff over, as you said) or the players keeping all their hard earned stuff but being heavily limited in the updates that can actually be made for the game. Personally, I would gladly go to a SoT2. The nature of a live service game is to (eventually) end - yet sequels often follow (Like Titanfall 1 to Titanfall 2) so imo it'd be worth the sacrifice. I just think that the current SoT isn't sustainable and Rare is going to have to do something different at some point. Something has to give. Edit: Also, I liked + subbed, I only recently discovered your stuff and I think it's pretty interesting

Season 15 should have nothing new, just them patching the game and moving it to the latest unreal enige. Spring cleaning season.

[@JonBardcore]

The current state of ses of thieves is indeed not great, with new things being broken and being taken back. It feels like they keep hitting themselves with the same stone over and over again... but I am willing to go just a little bit easy on them. I don't think they forsaw the return of quickl swapping with crouching cauce. The button combination is crazy! I would have never found that out. I love this game, I've been playing since the open beta and still play it weekly. I still have alot of fun with it with my friends. We keep blowing each other up and having fun. It's great. But rare defently can do better, and I hope they will do better. What they need to do... I think they can stick with seasons, I do like it. But maybe not put a time limit on it. Make seasons more longer and more 'griendier'. Take a look at Deep Rock Galactic as a example. They only have like.. 1/2 seasons a year. And it works!

Here's my thing: The battlepass just basically consists of cosmetics that eventually end up in the Pirate Emporium anyway. You can either still do a battlepass on a non time-gated structure or just put them in the emporium to begin with.

[@CidSilverWing]

There is a very, VERY, simple solution - segregate the PvP and PvE. Remove the progression penalties from Safer Seas, allow full progression and rewards, and allow Safer Seas players to invite friends to join as allied crews (no public matchmaking) and disable the hourglass and PvP mechanics. This solution is staring the devs in their faces but they stubbornly refuse to realize that people uninterested in PvP content get griefed by sweaty tryhard losers (I once had an enemy ship chase mine for 45 minutes despite not having that much loot on us they were THAT determined to get a kill), whether or not they're even Reapers, then inevitably ragequit and then wonder why they're "losing engagement". It's about time they stop pandering to the PvP losers and give the PvErs a REAL chance to play the co-op content without having to deal with griefers. inbe4 the PvP tards come at me to pound their keyboards with their tired "itS caLlEd seA oF tHiEveS gIt guD sCrUb" copypasta so hard it starts snowing Doritos dust. Also maybe do away with this seasonal nonsense and let all players have access to all the content instead of making it an arbitrary time-limited offer. Do what Deep Rock Galactic is doing - allow players to change season passes at will and unlock everything at their own pace. Pretty sure that guild thing they introduced died not weeks if not days after launch too, complete waste of time to implement.

[@JonBardcore]

I think what you're looking for in Safer Seas is a potential solution to a different problem than the one reviewed in this video. I don't think anyone has argued that Safer Seas implementation has added more bugs into the game. And to preface a potential argument with name calling doesn't make you look any better imo. However, I will have to look into Deep Rock Galactic as it's not a game I've played before so I'm unfamiliar with how they handle cosmetics. Thanks for the tip!

[@CidSilverWing]

@@JonBardcore I never said anything about Safer Seas adding bugs to the game. I was excited to learn we PvErs were finally gonna have a game mode just for us but then the devs cap the progression and rewards for no good reason. Deep Rock Galactic only has microtransactions in the Steam store. All the unlocks (weapons, perks and cosmeics) are earned strictly through grinding money and resources, and all the season contents are accessible at any point, which you can change as you wish, and earn company scrips to unlock additional resources and cosmetics.

[@jackmcnally8706]

I’ve put up with a lot of Rare’s dev issues, but as much as it pains me to say it, the launch state of season 14 (and corresponding “unlaunch” of most of it) is completely unacceptable. It totally killed my hype for the season and shows there are serious issues behind the scenes with the development of the game and a lack of quality control internally. My guess is that they didn’t want another “Season 9” where the season lasts 7 months, but a delay is still better than totally breaking the game and ruining expectations. This is especially notable since Rare has stated at least twice before this about working on”game stability” with separate teams, yet things seem to only be getting less stable. There definitely need to be some major changes behind the scenes to put this game back on track in terms of stability, and a much larger Q/A/testing team to find these kinds of issues. For now, let’s just hope that later in November (which I’ll pretend is the real launch date of Season 14) everything works.

@@him9302 The unfortunate truth with live service games like these with large free updates is that they need external revenue sources outside of playing the game. Game sales alone (especially with game pass now) often isn’t enough for very long term games like this one. The alternative is either having to pay for seasonal updates like paid DLC, which nobody wants to do, or worse, drying up the content flow (which would likely destroy the playerbase over time) I miss the days when everything could be unlocked in game too, and that the coolest cosmetic set was a show of dedication rather than your wallet, but we are past those days now unfortunately (even if there are still MANY great only earnable items in the game too be fair). Remember, a game company is still a company. They (unfortunately) aren’t your friend making a game just out of the goodness of their hearts, their goal is to make money (which is not to say the devs don’t have passion, I’m referring to the higher ups mainly). It’s a necessary evil. That doesn’t mean you can’t be annoyed with certain parts of it and voice feedback, but unless the way games are played changes drastically in the coming years, something along these lines is here to stay.

Clickbait video I think the game is in excellent condition, let me explain what I mean, it has a lot of players, really a lot, if we consider all the consoles on which it is available it can easily reach 80k. It is the only really good pirate game on the gaming market, the only and also unsurpassable. Rare intends to revolutionize the game and has begun to do so with season 12. I understand that many times there can be problems, and you need to understand them rather than complain. Season 14 introduced revolutionary new mechanics, and what hadn't happened for 6 years, new weapons and moves. Unfortunately we will always have this type of problem until Rare decides to make the game available only on next gen. I'm very sure that they are already working on season 17/18 and that 2025 will be revolutionary for the game, new ships, new tall tales and who knows maybe even a small map expansion, let them work.
