That is ass. Kinda what I can't stand with this game is the rewards. Sure stuff in the Devils roar is more or doubled but it takes so much longer or always run the risk of getting destroyed by volcanos. But overall the amount of time you have to put in to get a lot of gold is too much. Unless you do forts or ships and the risk is always higher of people attacking or betraying you.
Also I feel like somebody will always get the boring job of staying on the ship when going to the Devils roar because if not kiss your ship goodbye with the volcanos going off every other second.
Yeah, personally I'd like to see them tone down the volcanoes a bit.
Oh thanks mate. I'm gonna let my son redeem it when he gets home from school shortly. It will make his day, cheers!
One of my best mates used to head over to my house after school and literally always go spinal in KI back in the day. Imma show him when he's over next too.
oh man that's sexy. Been waiting that one since it was concept art. Eventually it's coming for everyone right?
Last night I wanted to get into this game with a friend. Turns out it is literally unplayable for me because of lag and ruberbanding. It's impossible for me to travel by ship, I'm contantly warped into the ocean and he has to wait and pick me up. Climbing a ladder is a nightmare.
Is this a known issue? Can I do something on my end? My friend is located in the same city as I am and he had zero problems...

Never had much of a issue with lag. Especially not that bad.
I've only had this in the beta days when they were swapping servers. Haven't had it since.. So not sure what you can do.
So I started playing again recently because of the rowboats and cargo runs. Been having fun but Holy Shit I am still reminded why I stopped. I am tired of pvp. I don't want to have anything to do with it. Just leave me alone and let me kill skeletons and dig up treasure. Give me a fucking pve mode Rare. Enough of this shit. Will probably stop playing for awhile now.
I regert using mine every day. If that sail was black it would have been much better.
Likewise. It's bonkers.
Still, I'm not complaining, provided the guy who bought it doesn't claim it was used or something...

Thanks for the replies guys. Can't play this game :(
maybe the problem is on my end, though Blackout, Fortnite and Horizon 4 work perfectly fine online... well, I need to change my internet provider and upgrade my bandwith anyway, maybe that's going to help.
It's weird that your friend doesn't have the same problem while he's in the same location. If you were both located in, let's say New Zealand, It would make more sense to me. Can imagine it's hard to find a server for 16 people in Oceania at the same moment.
Nah, we both live in a city with 2 million people in central europe. He has 100K Mbit/s and I have a crappy 16K Mbit/s connection with a horrendous upload speed. I guess that's the reason.
For those of you who like novels and lore, Athena's Fortune is out today.

Random fact: I was the second guy from the screen singing during the "pirate-rolling" segment in the panel lol.
You can see my humerus
But it doesn't mean I'm funny
I've got no skin so I don't get tanned
When outside its hot and sunny
What could I be?

Nice, that one has been ordered and put away for XMAS for my son.
Dad will give it a read too
Next big content update is in November called Shrouded Spoils. Teased a few new things coming with it:
There will also be a live panel on the 11th where they will talk more.
- Expanded Ship Customization. (Wheel, Cannons etc..)
- Fog will now be in the world.
- Commendations for Pirate Legends.

So I dropped this shit a while ago but I'll share with you an exploit me and my friends used a occasionally when in a hurry, it basically allows you to teleport anything from anywhere in the server to your ship in a few seconds.
It involves sending whoever is near the thing you want to take with you, be it a chest, a skull, a crate or whatever, to the brig as soon as they pick the object up. Pretty simple stuff since all you need is a little bit of coordination with the person who's making the last vote, me and my mates used a 3 seconds count, the one voting would basically start counting and both persons involved would vote and pick up the object at the same time
It only works on the brigantine and the galleon for obvious reason
Then after you successfully make it back to the ship with the thing all you gotta do is do the same process again but now instead of voting to put in the brig you're voting to release them (this is not needed for small objects like skulls and relics, for some reason you can pick up those from outside the brig if placed near the bars.
Now, this is something that is not as game changer as it sounds, mainly because the window to do it even through coordination is smallish so it lends to some human mistakes.
Maybe some people here already know about it but considering we discovered it since launch and they've yet to acknowledge it let alone patch makes it appear not as widespread as other exploits in the past, and I haven't seen that many people bring it up either so

Have you tried this recently? They patched out the mermaid teleportation glitch a couple of patches ago. Haven't seen many incidental teleportation (like randomly teleporting back with loot when stuck) since then
It worked at least until the patch that introduced the volcanoes, forgot the name
But that one had nothing to do with it. Different thing afaik
Thank you so much!! I was trying to think of the answer and thinking it was something more elaborate and read the riddle to my brother and he said its a skeleton so I went with his answer. The figurehead will go great with our skull mugs :)
Not played this for over a month and decided to jump back in with friends last night.
A few thoughts-
The good
Volcanic islands are brilliantly done, I love how dangerous they feel and how your risking your crew and ship even being near them
I like the new flag system
I also like the new cannon balls available
Sharks seem to spawn far less frequently which is brilliant.
The bad
We were griefed by other players for our entire game. We were attacked constantly and even found ships camping outposts. In the end, doing quests for little reward wasn't worth the hassle. We dropped on islands to dig up treasure, fight Skeltons and explore new stuff and our anchored ship was attack and sank by 4 man crews multiple times. Out of the 5 hours we played we made around 1000g each which just felt like a massive waste of time in the end and puts us off coming back
Gun powerder barrel skeletons are way over powered. 9 times out of 10 one of us would be dead if one appeared.
Combat doesn't feel as fluid as when I last played. I can't put my finger on it, but there seemed to be a freeze in animation when in combat. Maybe this was lag
Storms seem to be more brutal than ever and I was hit by lighting several times while in one, as were my team mates. They say lighting doesn't strike twice..well they're right in sea of thieves, it strikes 5 times per person. I know this is event based, but it seems weird for the lighting to constantly hit the characters rather than the ship.

It was pretty simple, but I had fun getting every commendation in this Halloween Bilge Rat Adventure. I did the majority of it solo.
Lightning strikes are currently turned up for the festival of the damned event.
So what do we think the big change that requires a tonne of community testing is going to be?
I can't help but feel there needs to be more players per server, a PVP BR mode, a safe haven port royale in which all crews can play a bunch of games together and NPC ships beyond just the skelly ships.

They've said as recently as 2-3 weeks ago (NYCC panel) that there is no plan to add more players per server. Some thoughts:
• Some kind of PVE mode with a separate progression line is a good idea for the parents with kids who love to play SoT (myself included) but get killed repeatedly by more experienced PVPers. It's HIGHLY requested, so, I think they probably figured out a way to do it while also not taking away from the 'real' game.
• Add another faction, PVP-focused (alongside the PVE introduction).
• Clan affiliation and daily/weekly goals. Allow clans to control forts on the seas to multiply XP/gold earnings.
• Opening up the potion shop, which has been at outposts and is currently boarded up. Sells in-game boosts via gold (no microtransactions).
• Allow player-made designs for liveries, clothes, tattoos, etc.

i dont have the link on hand but an interview given before that announcement implies its more directed story content
See, I like story content, but the problem is that it's finite.
They have a great game somewhere here, even in it's current form it's the best thing I've played all year (from a unique multiplayer perspective).
I wrote the below as a thoughts/wishlist on Sea of Thieves back in July (and indeed sent it into Rare, you can see how many ideas they clearly were already in progress of implementing...)
Thing wot I would add to that there Piratey Game:
I just don't think PvP is as easily separated from the game as people think. Combat is pretty dang simplistic; a PvP only server would be ridiculously boring after a few days. PvP without stakes or progression isn't what PvPers want
Watch some of the PvP streams, and most have people having fun and being creative with their mayhem. That dies in a PvP only server, or if the possibility of a PvE only exists. It will be just ships shooting ships and no one doing missions or carrying loot. No one would stick around long for that
It's a pretty neutered sandbox without PvP. Just read through all the stories in this thread of people's most fun experiences. Nearly all will involve PvP elements. The rest are team up stories from Skelies and Meg. Combine the two; give us a good bounty system. Create disencentivises to sinking empty ships. Incentivize learning PvP skills with bounties. Encourage organic alliances for protection and combat. Create meaningful stakes to shape player behavior, not straight up dictate behavior by disabling combat
I worry Rare waited too long to address the issue, and now have nothing left to use that can add stakes for a large segment of the playerbase (rich, Athena 10, on a stockpile of doubloons...). But I know most of those people don't want to sit in a server just shooting cannon balls at eachother with nothing to gain
