So i got a bug where i dont have any weapons, periscope or anything.
So is EVERYTHING cosmetic?
Meaning there are zero changes to weapons from those starting three?
Because if that's the case, I'm guessing the enemies stay the same throughout as well?
Is there a way to take screenshots in-game or do you have to use a program to do so?
Probably by the end of the week or so.
Bing Rewards is a program where Microsoft gives you points that you can redeem in the 'Bing Store' when you use their search engine. Once you get it set up, it only takes a few minutes a day to get all of your searched in. I typically do it at work. I set my tabbed browser to Bing search and just click the images at the bottom and go down through them all and then I have Bing downloaded on my phone to do something similar there just by searching the same thing over and over. It nets you at least 250 a day from the searches plus there are other things you can do like search certain things and finish quizzes. You can net about 10k points per month and you can redeem them for lots of stuff. You can redeem them for Microsoft store gift cards, Xbox Live subs, and now Game Pass subs. One month of Game Pass is 6800 points and 3 months is 17000 points. So, if you do your daily Bing Rewards every day, you will get Game Pass for free as long as that stays on there.
For reference, here are my subs because of Bing Rewards:
When playing last night on one x I had zero issues with screen tearing/frame pacing. So not sure if it's an issue because of the servers tanking, but in heavy action/kraken/ship attacks not one issue, but this was all pre 12pm GMT time when it appears the servers got hit hard.
That's for level one.It must be different in the UK because the maximum I can get per day is 30 points for searching. And there has not been many new surveys.
If I'm lucky I can get about 300 total a week.
That's for level one.
I think if you earn more than 200 points in a month you go to level two which allows for 90 points per day via PC searches and 60 per day for mobile searches. On top of random points for clicking the link of the day and doing the mini surveys etc. I started about the start of February and I've got enough points for a month of gamepass.
I'm with ya there, dunno if any of my buddies aren't getting it yet but wouldn't like to buddy up with some ERA at least. I'm on Xbox, add me if you wanna group up. I think Pc and Xbox can still party chat right?
Yes, I'm downloading it right now from the Win10 Store. I had to wait 'til midnight for it to unlock, tho. The store shows the retail price, and also mentions it's free for Game pass. Just clicked Install and here we go. :)
I did one of the voyages to kill skeletons and killed all the skeletons on the island including the "boss". What do I do to complete the voyage? Seems like there's supposed to be a chest but there isn't any.
I'm sure some find the lack of a tutorial charming, but I'm finding it frustrating.
I just requested to join the Era of Thieves club. I'm eisnerguy on Xbox Live. I read that there was a discord server as well?
You should hide the link. Because of the lurkers.
Is there nothing that can be done when a crewmate joins mid-way through a voyage, and then takes the ship while you are busy killing skeletons? That was a huge bummer.
Yeah, saw that option, don't think my mate voted the same. I think the UI needs some improvement as I don't even believe we were told someone joined the crew, ship was just sailing off, went after it but died to sharks. Was humorous but hope it's only a one off issue.If you are in a crew of three (or 4) and somebody 'goes rogue' the others can use the game menu to vote them to the brig of the ship (in the bottom) and they are locked up untill you release them.

Will it delete your character's progress like reputations and gold?Look for "Pirate Settings" in the menu. There's a delete option. I'm stuck in the same loop.
For a AAA-priced game in 2018 to feature such a focus on cosmetics, yet not provide a character creator or the ability to preview cosmetics outside of a tiny 2D render seems a massive oversight.
You can block bullets? TIL
To those that have used game pass to play the game via PC, when I log into the new account created to get the cheap 1 month and log onto windows store with it will that dictate my account for the PC? I only ask due to when signing into my current microsoft / xbox account it seemed to apply it for all of windows, which is fine due to it being my main account. However I don't really want that to become the case with my new account that I will be using to try out SoT.
So, how do I get the "Day 1 Eyepatch"? Which vendor person is it for sale at?
WAT? Is this a thing
I believe the Microsoft account you use on Windows is your Primary account and therefore applies to all of Windows. You can change it back and forth but that may be a hassle for you. Mail/Photos/Cortana syncing is the main things you lose out on.Just want to check once more if anyone has an answer to this. My apologies.
At Outposts you can find the 3 Merchants that will sell you Voyages to complete. At the early levels they are free but when you level up it will cost some gold eventually.Messed around with this for an hour tonight, I really have no idea what to do. Took a sloop out and visited a cpl small islands but only saw like 2 skeletons.
I'll find a beginner FAQ tomorrow and see if that helps. See you at sea!
Can't confirm, I only responded to the other guy :P
The tutorial pop-ups at the beginning of the game tell you that you need to select a voyage (quest) from the three available trading companies at an Outpost :)Messed around with this for an hour tonight, I really have no idea what to do.

I think you need five (5) commendations in each faction.Anyone knows what the mysterious stranger is for? All of us are level 5 yet he/she still says the reputation is too low.
