On top of that, Sea of Thieves players are still seeing a delay in gold and reputation rewards and there has been some server instability noted on the forums. Not all of these issues will be fixed by this week’s patch, but Rare is hoping to get the more pressing problems ironed out. At the very least, this patch should put the game on the path towards stability and new content releases , even if some problems still pers
It’s official, Sea of Thieves is getting a PVP mode. Earlier this year it was reported that the action-adventure game was considering adding a Battle Royale mode . Game developer Rare’s design director, Mike Chapman stated that the interest was there but that the developer wanted to create a twist to the game mode. Evidently this is exactly what Rare has done, creating a PVP mode with a few extra flourishes to tie back to the rest of the g
The first Pirate Legend has now been found, in Twitch streamer Prod1gyX . Rather than this being a cause of celebration for Sea of Thieves players, however, this has instead been a scene of major disappointment. The streamer has been widely criticized for the way in which he has reached the rank of Pirate Legend, relying on boosting from other players to get the status rather than making it there of his own accord. Essentially, other players helped out Prod1gyX with voyages, doing the majority of the work but sharing in rewards, leaving some feeling as though the streamer is more Billy Bones than Long John Sil
While connection issues were high on Rare’s to-do list for Sea of Thieves , smaller problems have had to be put on the back burner. In fact, Rare has even had to disable some features in the game, like achievements, for the time be
In addition to the new region itself, Forsaken Shores brings a plethora of other interesting elements to gameplay. Rowboats are also new. You can find them washed up on beaches, claim them for your own, and sneak around largely unseen. As Destructoid reports, the uses of this in PvP are going to be as devious as they are hilari
Part of this comes from the goal of becoming a Pirate Legend. The highest title bestowed on Sea of Thieves players, to become a Pirate Legend would-be Blackbeards have to first reach level 50 with all three of the game's Trading Companies. From then on, a fair few extras are unlocked, and the mystery around exactly what Pirate Legends can do has driven players through the g
All in all, though, Sea of Thieves players aren't happy about the situation. It comes at a fractious time for the game itself, after a former artist on the title suggested that the devs knew Sea of Thieves was repetitive in nature. With some asking for more from the title, should those disappointed in the Pirate Legend content (and the way that it was reached) make a big enough noise it may cause Rare to give the strategy game units|https://strategyreviewer.com/ some twe
The good news, though, is that Rare is still tracking player’s progress on Sea of Thieves achievements, so when they are re-enabled the achievements completed should unlock. Granted, Rare also said that players should receive all of their missing gold and reputation once things calmed down with the servers, and many reported not receiving everything they earned. In other words, don’t be surprised if some achievement progress is not entirely accurate once everything is re-enab
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 game 's riddle-filled que
Most importantly, the update brings a new region to explore: The Devil’s Roar. If you remember sailing along a vast and empty The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker -style ocean in the early days, you’ll be glad for any new area, but this is just on a whole new level. As the official trailer demonstrates, it’s a perilous place, with earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fireballs and scalding geysers to avoid. If you were looking for an exciting new area to explore, The Devil’s Roar is sure to bring all the excitement you could’ve asked
The promise of a mythical creature lurking somewhere out in the massive, sprawling ocean of Sea of Thieves , capable of pulling down boats is no doubt a thrilling prospect for many players. While the closed beta seems to have held a lot of content back, another recent datamine seems to indicate that the full game will have plenty more for prospective pirates to do. While new factions have already been revealed, new information reveals that the game will contain plenty of animals as well as a wider variety of creatures and enemies to fight. Players will likely be able to customize their ships with new flags, sails, and much more, as well as find new weapons, instruments, and food as w
