Sea of Thieves

So what does Sup Forums think of sea of thieves?

hype as fuck

Same, been playing in all the betas, only problem is it's full of retards 90% of the time.

that's kind of what happens when there is no real reward for testing the game out. Once everyone got tired of the limited content, they took to acting like a fuckwad. Im sure the full release will have that kind of morale in the beginning, lets just hope they find workarounds.

I hope the full game is better but Something about open games like this just seems to bring out the absolute worst in people, ever seen the state of ark lately? Official servers are sit.

So outplay them? It's a pirate game, show dominance. You can do this

A good analogy of me in bed.
Fun for 30 minutes and then it's a snoozefest.

We did about half the time but sometimes it's a numbers game and 2 can't outshoot 4 every time and I currently only have 1 person I can always count on to play with. I have a hope the devs will listen to the idea of out posts being safe zones

Looks fun but there isnt enough content at the moment to justify full price. Aslo since its a associated with Xbox it will be heavily criticized

I never got that whole console pissing contest, I love my one and when I upgraded to the one x it got even better and my 360 was great to me it's whole lifespan. Console wars are retarded

Win10/10.

Most gamers who talk about games online can barely afford one system, which is why "PC or Console" is still a huge debate online for literally zero reason.

>they took to acting like a fuckwad.
Honestly my favorite part. I hope they treat this game like gmod, experimental fun and a whole lot of roleplay. With devs enabling that fun rather than adding really locked down linear content like people seem to demand.

There's always gonna be a fine line between being a fuckwad and straight ruining the fun. If it becomes more economical to camp the turn in spot then it is to actually do the missions that's the line.

On that I agree with for sure. Don't know how the devs are going to handle it.

I love fucking around, best experience I had was hanging of the side of my boat with a poweder keg waiting for my moment to drop off the side under cover off canonfire and board a boat chasing us

The common suggestions are safe zones around ports and some kind of bounty for dickass players both of which I like.

Is it just me or are there a lot of horny shitheads in the betas? I play with my wife and people keep trying to make her dance in the bright, that got annoying fast.

I had a lot of fun with the betas they have released. It's a game you can play for a couple of hours with friends and not be too bored. The game does get repetitive and tedious but if you go play another game for a bit and come back you can appreciate what it is. You got to be in the mood to play that game. Because you can be having a blast or you'll be bored of doing the same things.

More mission variety and world events will probably help with the games lifespan. Looking foreword to fort raids and the kraken.

This game has no content. But for like ten bux a month you can get it with that stupid microsoft xbox pass or w/e. That's the only reason I'm going to play it.

The beta doesn't really feel like a fair way to judge the variety, only one of the quest types is available plus the world events are turned off.

How the fuck do I play it on PC? I won't need Windows 10 will I? That is a deal breaker.

IS there another beta incomming?

>Once everyone got tired of the limited content, they took to acting like a fuckwad
yes because people are attracted to pirate games for the pve content. thats the fantasy of piracy, cooperating with strangers to accomplish pve objectives.

you are a fucking retard. why do you think people want to play pirate games? if they wanted to be a faggot theyd play as the british

Fun, but not worth a full 60 dollars, especially on PC since it's on whatever the latest iteration of Microsoft games store is.

Kinda wish there were a similar co op game like this on pc. Hopefully it gets really popular so that it gets a bunch of free to play and cheaper clones a la pubg and fortnite

Most gamers are children without jobs

It should be called Sea of Bare-Bones because skeletons are the only enemy and there is no content in the game.

whats stopping a group of people from controlling an island 24/7 and raping players?

if it's merely ship battles then no thanks

haha dude it will dead in a week. Trust me.

just subscribe to the xbox game pass. $10 to play the game for a month, im sure you'll get bored of the game by the time your month is up.

if there was a world where you could make landfall and do stuff on foot, in depth (think AC: black flag) it might be interesting

ships alone is not

No Xbox pass on PC man. Sucks.

Stress test this weekend I think, should be a wider open beta that actually shows off more/all of the content closer to release.

Other players firing cannons/sniper rifles at the vacant ship and offending players.

I'll admit I don't want to see safe zone outposts, but I would like to see something that punishes camping them. Maybe a few guard NPCs that push your shit in if you engage someone on the islands, just code them to be benevolent until someone deals damage to a guard or player, then they activate and rush the agressor. Keeps PVE casuals protected while providing a challenge for the best PVPers

if it's a free for all it will be fun

that includes "griefing". the seas should not be a safe space. have a starting zone thats safe then pure free for all.

I'm excited as fuck, GOTY. I played in the betas and haven't had that much fun in a game since I was a kid.

I will admit the islands are smaller than I like, but they are assuring us of cool places to go and find, like pic related

I actually like that idea. Pvp is fun and I love to raid other boats then steal thar booty all but campers do just ruin the fun for everyone

Anyone here gonna be trying it out in tomorrow's stress test?

Yes it's windows 10/xbone

I will, I played 2 weeks ago, got to level 21. I know all the content that will be in the main game, hoping to see some more of it in this next beta weekend.

I wouldn't want safe zones, except for maybe pubs so different crews can hang out and play the dice minigame or something. There are enough outposts around that you will be able to find an empty one from a camper.

I wouldn't mind one or two safe zones, like pirate islands, like an outpost except you can't turn in quests there, just bar and shops, and maybe a minigame or two.

Here's hoping our paths cross in a friendly way

The more devious ones I've met purposely sank their boat to hide that they were there and hid in the bushes, that's the kind of crap I'm not a fan of.

I REALLY hope they include skeleton forts, and if so they better nerf the skellys, too much HP and excessive numbers, they pretty much immediately encircle and destroy you with guns, its a mess.

I'd like a pirate Island as a housing area or something, some place as a hideout. That can be a safe area.

I snuck on an enemy boat undetected, hid for 20 min. until they stopped at an island and all got off the ship. I lifted the anchor, got a decent distance away from the island and threw all the treasure overboard, then turned the boat and sank it by blowing up their gunpowder below deck.

You can see the helpful mermaid though.

I had no issue with the skeles, and they have pretty low HP atm, you can kill multiple skeles with one charged hit.

the bar wench has a dialog about a 'Jolly Roger Inn' opening at Plunder Outpost if you ask her 'where's the party at', I assume this will be the gambling hall/chillan tavern

Really? The fort skellys all seem to have 5 sword swings worth of HP minimum when I fight them

charged sword swing,
uncharged is like 4-5 though.

Also, if there are a lot of skeles around, utilize gunpowder barrels.

I Particularly do not even understand the appeal of this kind of game.

It's a open world age of sail coop game. Not too many of those

yeah I've managed to land a few keg multikills, I just wish the sword was a bit stronger, hell even 4 hits would be fine, I hate running to the ammo crate constantly.
And maybe divide up the skellys between more waves, fighting 6+ is a pain in the ass
Otherwise I like them, its like raiding a bandit hideout in RDR plus the payout is pretty sweet

I like the cut off your gib sailor, I like using the anchor to do a hard 90° and broadside boats that chase me. Gets them every time.

After a while the smoke signal seems to go away and that makes the mermaids way harder to spot

Did they Nerf the sword while I wasn't looking? it always took me 3 hits to kill.

anchor turning is great.

You can also drop gunpowder barrels into the ocean, and they'd act as sea mines, basically 1 hit KO a ship if they sail into it.

Nah fort skellys are just OP apparently because they wear bandanas

Do ships trigger kegs now? I couldn't get them to before

yeah

Games as service. Pass.

Well you just taught me a neat new trick and for that I thank you, man I wish powder kegs generated on boats even more than before

they don't generate on boats, or at least shouldn't, they're a resource you can turn in to one of the factions, similar to chests.

I keep getting nominated captain so I didn't end up setting foot on a fort till all the skellies were dead so I had no idea they were stronger.

Oh I just wish they did because of all the potential for shenanigans. But I get how broken it would be.

I forget the name of that faction, but you also have to catch chickens, snakes, and pigs and turn them in to them, you keep them in cages on your boat and have to care to them while you sail.

I'm looking forward to those contracts, sounds like a perfect place for boobery

Blackwake actually has content and focuses on the fun part, PVP

Doesn't it get boring after a while? Just looks like buy quest -> fight skeletons -> grab treasure -> back to port -> repeat

That's when my friends and I started raiding ships. It makes for a lot of unique experiences.

Can't fucking wait

Well this threads on its way out and nobody here was a dildo so I'll just say keep an eye out for Disco Tentacles in your adventures, I'm always looking for new people to play with

Looks neat but I'm a console guy ever since my computer asploded

70 dollaridoos

how is this acceptable ?

but thats not pure pirate, thats just a game that has pirates

In fairness it's also releasing in the game pass, good way to try before buy
