What does @SeaOfThieves mean to me? It's all about You - Our Community. Working alongside us on the run to Launch and beyond, helping shape #SeaOfThieves into what it is today. We are all on this journey together, and we've only just begun! #SoTAndMe #MondayMotivation

@Coppertailwolf @BlackeyeThe2nd There's been no specific changes in this area recently, we're making sure experiential changes are surfaced clearly in Insiders for feedback - but this isn't an active area for us right now.
English

@BlackeyeThe2nd Eye of reach not hip firing makes sense to me. The pistol tho….
I just want transparency if change is happening.
English

@S0nicbob I know it's not you specificly or only, but can you guys stop trying to sell me on "Custom Servers" this is a content creator tool, I'm not one, I would bet money on not even being able to progress the Plunder Pass with Season 20's "content"... It's worse than the stool update
English

Watch along for real clarity on Season 20, how we're improving delivery in the Outpost, improvements to streamer tools and our next game health bash.
Then... an experiment we'll be running during S20 by removing Raid Voyages!

From improvements to Outpost cosmetics and some Community Direct clarifications to early details regarding an experiment we'll be conducting with Raid Voyages in Season 20, it must be time for a fresh Developer Update! Grab a snack and join Drew in the tavern when you're ready:
English

@Joreftw Always a team effort - no heroes here, will be very interesting to see how this changes the feel of the sandbox!
English

@Enkidyev I think we've learnt our lesson here from the recent Doubloon commemorative items...
English

@AstridRakham No changes here to how we host servers, these will be operated in the same fashion as Adventure servers.
English

@S0nicbob Drew, gotta ask, will Custom Seas be hosted from our own consoles/PCs or will they be using Rare's servers to host our games? I think, in terms of game health, hosting them by our own means would be best.
English

@EliReplies @Kokokatten @SonyMaguire @SeaOfThieves I don't disagree, it's fair feedback. There's been a lot of change in this space based on feedback but that has caused messaging to become quite messy/delayed - certainly some lessons we need to take from this.
English

@S0nicbob @Kokokatten @SonyMaguire @SeaOfThieves Alright thank you for making it clear that these prices are final! For the future please please please finalize all numbers and have them cleared out when you do initial announcements. It would be awesome to know all conversion prices the day the doubloon reset was announced!
English

@SkeleCurseIRL @SeaOfThieves For Season 20 all World Events will have a chance of having a CoF in the vault, including the FoF (but only 1, now you're just being greedy)
English

@SeaOfThieves So do the FoF be havin' a chance for ... double CoF
English

@IamGreen112 @SeaOfThieves We've got some work inflight for the World Event Scheduler, lots of opportunities here to bring crews together using the scheduler!
English

@SeaOfThieves Holy shit HUGE W with the raid voyage changes. Please do more of this. This is amazing. Another thing to note would be maybe changing the world event rotation a little more. I think having some down time between events could help liven things up some more too.
English

@EliReplies @Kokokatten @SonyMaguire @SeaOfThieves These Doubloon>Gold prices are correct and represent the latest calculations of Gold Per Hour twinned with the elevated rarity of the Doubloon items.
Yes these are considerably more expensive than originally predicted - but a lot of consideration has gone in here by the team.
English

@Kokokatten @SonyMaguire @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob I made an extensive post about it here seaofthieves.com/community/foru…
@S0nicbob I respect that you can't please everyone but are you able to shine some more light on the decision-making here? 🙏
I personally have all these cosmetics but I feel I am advocating for newer players.
English

Removing raid voyages? @S0nicbob just made S20 the best season since S9. I know it’s an “experiment,” but I really hope this becomes permanent.

@oldgoldsot Look out for the specifics on this when it hits Insiders!
English

@S0nicbob World event raids being taken off the raids i understand, but what about shrines??? Do those remain since they are not world events?
English

@Gholdyi I think we're open to exploring a number of possibilities in this space in order for us to find the right end result that breathes more life back into the sandbox.
English

@S0nicbob The experiment is very much welcome, not only it will allow you to learn stuff about it, but i honestly think it will simply make events matter more !
Do you think that there is a possibility for this experiment to lead to another one such as removing the dive mechanic ? <3
English

@Ralph_27_ That could be for a number of reasons (region, time of day, players in matchmaking, skill levels etc). Hard to provide an answer on this for you personally - suggest reaching out to support;

English

@Giovann69642526 @cptn_rick I directly address this in the video - new content in the sandbox will remain a key part of how we operate Sea of Thieves. Our focus right now is on landing a great Custom Seas experience.
English

@S0nicbob @cptn_rick Drew, can you please clarify, out of respect for all the veterans of this game, if we're getting any major changes and significant updates? We deserve to know if the game is giving up. You have incredible potential, but you're not using it. Please reply.
English

@OniosanS We have a few of these issues that the animation tech team are investigating at the moment, if you have clips as examples send them over!
English

@S0nicbob Sorry for that, sometimes I use google translate, and he is ugly.
So, I mean that the animations of players look broken and crooked, very often objects in their hands break. Players climb the stairs without animation, movement without animation and so on.
English

@Skay124 @Jack__Grimm @SeaOfThieves That's not a bad shout tbh, but reckon the feedback would still be divisive.
English

@S0nicbob @Jack__Grimm @SeaOfThieves A bit more serious idea, what if we kept SG comms as they are but moved them to Mystery/Secrets tab? Rewards/titles stay but comms are hidden till unlocked so they don't haunt people constantly.
English

@ParkerMurden This is the kind of feedback we'll be reviewing as part of this change!
English

@S0nicbob Will the removal of raid voyages include On-Demand activities like Sea Forts, Treasuries or Ashen Garrisons? While I do think diving has significantly hurt the game, the ability to do trading company specific versions of these has made the game better🤔
English

@LasagnaKing33 @SeaOfThieves That's an alternative approach but still has some of the broader ecosystem challenges we see following the introduction of diving - our raid voyage removal is more radical but addresses those head on.
English

@SeaOfThieves Great news. @S0nicbob instead of removing the dive to world events (which cancel and creates a new one), why don't you simply add a dedicated tab to dive to an existing, emerging one?
