10 Reasons To Try Sea Of Thieves Again (And 10 More To Stay Away)

10 Reasons To Try Sea Of Thieves Again (And 10 More To Stay Away)

Rare is preparing for the quickly approaching release of Sea of Thieves ' first major content update, The Hungering Deep , by tantalizing players with a tease of all the new content. The official webpage for The Hungering Deep is now live, filled with exciting content revels for the forthcoming update like customizable flags, customizable scars and tattoos, and the introduction of an all-new instrument, the d

class=Now, the reason why Rare staff is putting in that extra effort (or at least one of the many, many reasons) is that we have all paid a fixed price for the game and we expect some support in return. However, the landscape is soon about to change, as microtransactions will soon be introduced. Of course, they will not alter the gameplay in any way and the only confirmed items for the real-money store are cosmetic pets, so we are not about to get a pay-to-win title. And yet, I can’t help but wonder how that will affect the community, despite it being the only sensible way to pay for the server maintena

However, since then, Rare has been hard at work on Sea of Thieves and are doing their best to bring the pirating adventure to the state they promised us before the launch. As for why that wasn’t done before releasing their title into the wild, we can only speculate. Some say it was Microsoft that pushed Rare to release an unfinished game, others claim it’s the studio’s own negligence that caused this situation. Knowing how Microsoft likes to keep things to themselves, we’ll probably never know exactly what happe

While we’re on the subject of "choose-your-own-adventure," let’s take a look at the biggest selling point of the game - its core concept. While a lot of people complained about the lack of content (and some of them - rightly so), the majority of the criticism came from players that didn’t comprehend the basic idea of Sea of Thiev

I’ve played plenty of Sea of Thieves and never have I met a single cheater. When it comes to Rare’s pirate title, cheaters are those elusive mythical beasts that we have all heard of, but no one has ever met. Sure, Rare did acknowledge that some people did manage to cheat at some point, but they were swiftly dealt with and this will continue to be the case in the future. Rare, just like Microsoft, do not take lightly to people exploiting their software, so quick and harsh bans are their answer to any cheating they manage to detect. Thankfully, this means that Sea of Thieves is quite clean of such nasty and disgraceful a

Since its reveal at E3 2015, Sea of Thieves promised players an open and dynamic world to live out pirate fantasies of treasure hunting, drinking, and ship battling. The recent closed beta test gave fans a small taste of what to expect, though many were looking for more things to do in the world outside of sailing and finding treasure. While the full game promises to have more content, one aspect that Rare has been particularly tight-lipped about is the massive, ship destroying creature known as the Kra

Up until this past week, Rare has remained especially quiet regarding what content players could expect in the Sea of Thieves Hungering Deep update. A terrifying AI threat that may or may not be a giant shark was the studio's only admission, along with hints of a legend to discover surrounding the beast of the de

This update and how transparent and honest it is great. It's the right step, and an important one we hope Rare does very frequently. Being open and addressing feedback and constructive criticisms is one of the important keys to success for online games with passionate communities - and those devs who don't communicate or offer game updates quickly are the ones that turn advocates of the game into haters. We see it all the time among some of the other popular games online - especially the ones that streamers are actively play

Sea of Thieves developer Rare has published a full list of the game's 60 achievements (for a total of 1,000 points), but with a special pirate-y twist. Rather than explaining what players have to do to unlock the achievement, each one has been presented as a riddle. This adds a bit of fun to achievement hunting and lines up well with the upcoming co-op pirate Strategy Game DLC|Https://Strategyreviewer.Com/ 's riddle-filled que

All of the issues that are common and raised online in the forums, Discord, and Sea of Thieves Subreddit are things the developers are seeing and noting as well. Hopefully, this up update address the obvious concerns and quells some of the brewing negativity online. It's been such a problem that even the downvote option was seemingly removed from the Sea of Thieves p

Over on the 81st page of an original Sea of Thieves Closed Beta forum thread, the user known as Pelochoman managed to track down images of the terrifyingly elusive beast. The screenshots do a good job of showing just how big the creature is as the tentacles are fairly visible in the distance as well as quite large when the ship is close enough to be attacked. Another screenshot shows the ship being squeezed by the creature, while another tentacle shoots up through the water with what appears to be a spiked mouth of some sort. What isn't detailed in these images, however, is just how massive the entire creature is as only the arms and tentacles can be seen, not the actual body of the be
