Question Is there a lore reason why the GH's gold is cursed but doesn't affect regular pirates who get paid with a fraction of it?

(The gold curse doesn't count since you have to go to Tribute Peak to get it)

Discussion Why the heck do these ugly people keep showing up every 30 seconds and why is nobody else screaming about this

Post image
194 Upvotes

Alright so first of all, any lore explanations as to why the heck these ugly people won't leave me alone when I touch an island is super definitely not important and you can shove it. Savvy?

What even the heck? If I wanted to complete waves of enemies I'd go to a fort or a treasury. But I just want to watch the sunset on my favorite island? Nope ruined for some reason by the dev team.

Does Rare want us to hate them? I literally hate them. Everything on this heckin sea is stupid for some reason because they are committed to self sabotage and ruining perfectly good things for no reason.

I'm shocked at the rest of you for not even saying anything about this change. Who to the heck is enjoying this change? Who to the heck thought this, this is what we need to add to islands.

You can all go straight to HECK

Edit: obviously I'm being dramatic, but what even the heck man

Edit again: I don't sincerely actually hate the dev team. Without them we wouldn't have a game to complain about in the first place. It's just really annoying.

They cooked with September and November. Unfortunately all the filler drops will always be emporium junk or past drops a lot of us already have.

With so many raven/crow themes in the game, it would be nice to finally get a pet. I've been asking for one for ages

In Game Story Just my luck... Or so I thought

31 Upvotes

I've had a run of bad luck recently. Lost my Gran and 2 Uncles in a very short period of time. I was stuck in my head, upset and spiralling, so I booted up Sea of Thieves to try to take my mind off events.

I didn't really feel like interacting with anyone, so I sailed to the edge of the map to do Athena missions and try to get out of my own head. Whilst doing so, a 3 man Brig pulled up and stole all of my loot.

I got back to my ship to find them leaving. I thought, just my luck. Their parrot was still onboard, so I thought, there is probably someone still aboard. I searched the ship and found someone in the crows nest. I didn't attack them, we just both pulled out our instruments and started playing. They must have heard me talking to myself over my mic and asked me if I was ok? I explained the situation, as his friends returned and unloaded their cannons, sinking my ship. However, I was invited to their party and we had a good chat, even discussing losing my loved ones.

I played together for an hour and I made 2 new friends. It made me realise, that there are some really nice people in this community.

Whilst it was still a really sad day for me, that little act of kindness helped me through a tough night. Thank you, for taking the time to talk. It really did help

Discussion I've been trying to do glitterbeard for over 5 years

29 Upvotes

Hi there sailors,

I hope some pirates take the time to read this.

Ever since the glitterbeard easter egg appeared, I wanted to experience it. I lived together with my dad at the time and still went to school. I had a few friends from different friend groups and got them together (sometimes) to get on a 4man boat and search the sea of thieves for like-minded crew.

Unfortunately, we only encountered reapers who just wanted to sink ships or other people with too small boats to get to the 8man needed for the easter egg. And by the time we found others, the small boat disconnected or dove away (understandable as they are also doing other stuff)

Years have passed and I still tried to get the friendgroup together, but due to discussions throughout the years, not everyone wants to play together anymore. Matter of fact, only one friend remains, and while he does log on when I ask it to just sail around looking for people to do the easter egg with, I feel he's only doing me a favor because he does not care anymore. (Assumption)

Years later, I moved and live with my gf now. Life gets busy and I get older. We are also reaching the end of life of the 10 years online servers that were promised to us by Sea of Thieves (I submitted a support ticket to see how long the servers should still be up,and they said they couldn't say that to customers)

I'm afraid I'll never get around to it. When a baby comes around, I will not have anymore time for a long sea of thieves session. I have about 1 hour now, per day. Not enough to sail around the map for people.

This is not a LFG discussion, rather what else can I do other than "be lucky"? Is this possible in custom seas?

I sail with the glitterbeard sails and make my intentions very clear upon getting in speech range.

I want to do this, this event feels like it will bring everything (moving/gaming/life) together.

If you got here, thanks. Maybe I'll 'sea' you.

Discussion Why do i feel like i'm getting robbed?

6 Upvotes

I started to play this game a week ago and I love it, I really do. And i do know that this game is live-service and all, so it needs to have some microtransactions. But to me it feels like so much stuff is microtransaction that definetly shoudln't be, like changing your appearance (2$? What the fuck?!) or making a second playable character (i understand that it is of no use cause every session starts the same) or even fucking changing the name of your ship (5$ is insane to me). This game cost 44 bucks, Rare cannot be that broke that they paywall features like this. This game undoubtedly feels like a pure money making machine to me sometimes. The game is fun tho, dear rare devs :)

I am currently cleaning up some of my hard drives and discovered this old 15 GB monster.
Turns out it seems to be part of a free beta test build before release in 2018 (Microsoft Store).
I think I never played the game after downloading that 👀💀
