My 7 year old had a go before crashed into a rock then sailed off without patching.
20 mins later she hops on this sloop thats parked i tell her to raise the sails and anchor and it drives into the beach. The owner starts swimming after it while it does circles and slowly sinks.

no worries, not being curt just feeding a grunting baby :D
It's a picture in the OP. You don't need to quote anything. Took me a second look, too.
Yeah, yet another thread that seems to shoot a flair in the air calling all anti-MS/Xbox/Sea of Thieves people. I am sick of people telling me and others that it is a waste of money, not worth the $60.00 etc. I have already gotten more hours into SoT that many single player games I have played over the last 2-3 years. I already got my entertainment value out of the game and I am still playing and I don't see that stopping anytime soon.
Excuse me?
Or this video:
In which they showed the following things that never made it into the game:
16:29 - violin
26:52 - Joanna Dark and Banjo figureheads
29:26 - gold hoarder skeleton boss
30:00 - merpeople
31:25 - ghost pirates
33:05 - ghost ship
Well, yesterday someone posted an IGN article where they apparently had talked about several features that are not in the game right now. But for the most part I agree, they have been clear about their goal.
This is the saddest part. But i bet my Game Pass copy, they'll include him at a later point.
Or maybe you need a Pirate Legend voyage.
Yes, and loving it.
Well more other ship encounters. Some re friendly, tho.
100% agreed!

The video's a stronger argument than the AMA answer. They were never gonna admit the kraken was as disappointing as it actually is, and instead of admitting--or denying--they tried to downplay it and pass it off as mysterious (which it is, but for that glitch that revealed the truth). They should have completely ignored the question, but still, as someone who professionally trades in the veracity of statements, this is barely a blip on the evidentiary radar.
OP
OP
The obvious allure to game pass is that you have access to multiple games. With games in Australia costing $100 a pop paying $120 a year for at the very least two triple A games is well worth it for me.

This isn't me making excuses cause obviously none of us know for fact, but being this is gaas isn't it likely most of that stuff is post launch or late game stuff?
I don't know, but when I was on Shipwreck bay I saw a Ghost Skeleton. I heard a sound behind be like a Skeleton coming out the ground. I turned around and it was a ghostly skeleton and then he slowly disappeared. He did not move around, he just disappeared in a slow manner. It was weird and I am not tripping. With that wording you and your team received, is it possible they can just add stuff like that on the fly?
This is a interesting video

Seems to be some cool stuff coming up. But he talks about gold skeletons as if they are already in the game. Are they? So far I've only seen normal ones.

Normal. Gold. Shadow. Plant. These are the types of skellies currently in the game.
Probably, but that doesn't change the fact that AT LEAST this stuff, that was already shown, should be in the release version in the first place, there is no excuse in not having that there. They showed this stuff 2 freaking years ago and it isn't like the final version is packed with stuff....
You're changing server. Usually happens if there's no ships on your current one or if there are, they're too far away from you.
Was finally able to play a bunch today without the servers giving me an issue. My god this game is great. Can't stand the people I have run into so far though. Just constantly getting killed and people hovering around outposts. But, when I'm able to go on voyages and sail around it really is quite a relaxing and enjoyable game. This and Ni No Kuni 2 have made for a great weekend.
They had priorities for launch. I think one of the producers said the goal was to get everything from the E3 2016 trailer in for launch. Pets and dinghies didn't make it, but I think everything else did.
If it wasn't ready for launch it wasn't ready for launch. As someone who was in the alpha since April of last year and in the pioneer sessions I can say they added and tweaked stuff pretty regularly, and sometimes they added stuff that made the game unstable and it would show up a few weeks later working properly, so I have no fear more stuff is coming soon.
Assume good intentions.
Could I get an invite to the Discord? Even with the Xbox club I'm often not finding people to play with.
Dude same!
no one else on my crew saw it, thought it mighta been a bug
I turned it off halfway, he's trying but he goes over stuff that is already in the game as if its coming later (like snake traps) Never mentions plant skeletons so his video is solely on prelaunch.
Here's what I know.
There have been figureheads, sails, and ship colors in the alphas that we have not seen yet. Meaning this assets exist, but aren't in. So they are either holding them off for legends, or they will be rotating in and out
There are more outfits we don't have either. The mysterious stranger one. The ones on the mannequins. One of the mannequin one looks to be tied to skeleton forts as it is decked out in bones and has a fort key looking skeleton head on it. I think this is gonna be endgame
They are planning live campaigns, which are time exclusives (aka this week or weekend only type deal) where events happen in the world or a new vendor appears, or something. They've said they can do a lot with these, such as change wind direction to funnel players somewhere, generate more storms, krakens, etc. Basically the world will change, there will be something new to do with rewards to get.
Speaking of vendors, they did tease a mysterious NPC that will come to the world. People assume this is blind bob. One of the current NPC's mentions something about him and keys and gates around wanderers refuge. In case you didn't know there are uncharted islands around the world (they tend to be in the middleish of the map) and they have strange altars and ruins. These were in the betas too. Nothing is in them right now... but they obviously are there for a reason. It's either endgame or live campaign themed.
Also, they have said that trading companies will "come and go" so we can expect more companies with more mission types to come in, and others to leave.
Ship captaincy is gonna be tailored around customizing your ship even further. Early on they toyed with a screenshot feature in the game where it would "paintify" the screenshot so you could "hang" it in your captain quarters. This is meant as a way to show players cool adventures or things you've done. The plaque above your ship will also allow you to NAME it.
The design director, mike, had a post on NPC's here are some choice quotes
"While the world itself will pose dangers to players on these kinds of Voyages, the shared nature of the game also provides a great deal of potential challenge. Players aware of the active trade routes may very well decide to sail in those waters, on the lookout for a prize to seize, whereas players carrying merchant cargo may avoid the known routes all together and keep a low profile."
(I wish merchant voyages felt like this...)
"Also, much like players, NPCs will come and go and rise and fall in influence as part of an ever changing world. As the origin of our Voyages, players will encounter groups of NPCs that represent different ways of play. Whether longer term you want to play Sea of Thieves as a lone explorer, a merchant, a black market smuggler or whatever else feels appropriate for this world, our aspiration to continue building Sea of Thieves with the community means that we can add additional content and areas of progression in an order that ensures maximum value to players. Even if you're a crew that favours predominantly PVP or PVE, our NPC's will be the gateway to progressing in these areas as part of the future progression plans."

Honestly the tl;dr is... there should be more content and new ways to play, but its either being developed or in the wings. It's a controversial approach for sure, because some just want anything done to be put in the game right away. We'll have to see if the stream of content is fast enough.
It's nice to have a steady stream keeping the game fresh. And not something where you feel like you are waiting on major expansions for new content. But if the content isn't frequent enough then... game will struggle
7 hours straight tonight and muscled our way into a Skull Fort with just two waves to go. Finished it off but the crew we sank came back and an epic battle took place once we had the loot out of the building. We eventually finished them off after losing our ship and one shipmate bringing it back. We made off with the loot but we were chased for ages, doing drive by drop offs at outposts. Fucking crazy game. It's so much fun, I just don't get how it's reviewing so badly!
Rare can continue to add content but if they never address the question "why" (why am i doing this?) once the new factor wears off you're left with a bored player complaining online.
And you see that first hand with a lot of the reviews/streamers/players.
Normally games offset this feeling with a sense of power progression, which makes grindyness more tolerable.
I'd like to see Rare add more incentive for doing things in game, then continue to add more varied experiences.
So the lore book talks about cooking recipes. I can see that being added after different types of foods and animals are added.
Fishing has to be in..... I mean come on...
Darts, cards/ dice
Lots of other enemies

If i sit and think to myself...Okay would power progression help or hurt this game? They can't make it too powerful because the open nature of PvP in this game means newbies would just constantly be annihilated by players with stronger guns, ships etc. Would PvE really be better with the existing enemies being bullet sponges you need to level up to be able to one shot? I just don't see it adding anything more than "need to chase have to hit harder" I guess the fact that i have always chased fashion in game made this type of progression appealing to me but I just think they need more ways to get it. Have enemies drop cosmetics directly, or gold or xp when you kill them, different types of missions with more types of npc interactions and enemies etc.
go back to the voting table and cancel it I think
or just don't do it
Wtf. And yet I only see the ones with a shirt on and such. Do these appear at later niks? And I assume they are during the Souls quests?
Ha! I really want to say that it was us but no, we got away with our booty and made some nice gold with it :-)
The chasers gave up in the end. One of them messaged us to express their anger lol.
Everyone that we find is just kill on site...it stinks but was to be expected. We always try and interact with them prior.
I think I have never seen the special ones outside of souls quests and skull forts.
Yep. Let me yell at people from miles away and get them to just surrender.
