I'll just wait for the announcement they fixed it.

At least I got to Servants level 100 last night and I am now a cool skeleton. 😎

Excellent. I'm looking forward to hour glassing this weekend

Jetamo: Nov 8, 2012; alright. alright, mate.

I'm on the last stretch of that, somewhat: just hit 70 with the Servants.

They need to buff hourglass rep to GnG levels as standard, honestly, it's soul crushing otherwise.

Rare just "fixed" the buggy tracking for the legendary bottle quests....by lowering the requirement to just 1 bottle for the Seaglass Rapier. :geno:

The preview event for 2024 ended, and included a lot of game changers. In summary:

Season 12: New tools. Two new weapons in a double-barrel flintlock and throwing knives. Scattershot for cannons that have short range, but do multiple small holes against a ship. New throwable that summons skeletons to fight for you, even on boats. New wind horn treasure that can propel ships and rowboats, knock around players, negate fall damage, and put out fires. Also, you'll be able to tightrope walk across harpoon lines! Also, ziplines are being added to many of the islands.

Season 13: Flameheart! And he comes with a new mega-ship that's a world event. Defeat it to take control of the ship, which comes with 10 cannons, forward facing fireball launchers, and a skeleton crew to help run everything. Once you have it you can voyage to skeleton camps for Orb of Secrets, and build up tribute to Flameheart that can be cashed in for gold. But, of course, everyone on the map will be fighting to take the ship from you.

Season 14: The "mischief season". More described than shown off. Will have new stealth options to assist in tucking on other ships. Will also introduce traps, and a grapple gun. The latter they showed off, making island traversal or boarding much, much easier.

These where a lot of fun. I kind of wish they made them a permanent part of the game somehow.

Edit: Forgot ziplines.

holy poo poo an actual update

I honestly can't wait to take over a giant ship with 5 Cannons and a flamethrower and sail around the map being a menace to everyone.

The Beta for the Sea of Thieves on the Playstation starts on the 12th, for anyone interested. Taking part will give you an exclusive title and sail. Note these and the pre-order weapons and parrot for Playstation are exclusive to that console, even if you play on the same account across platforms. Which is disappointing. The Duke set is also becoming "exclusive, but as far as I can tell, this just means you can't use it while on Playstation.

Regarding the new OP, I've been working on it. I just need to hammer out the final draft.Will try to have that posted before Friday.

Nice! Time to get on that hourglass grind again.

I sincerely hope I can finish my Guardians curse grind then and literally never ever play hourglass again.

I am close to getting the skeleton curse. Unfortunately, I really want the green bones, which requires a ridiculous amount of win streaks to unlock. Might actually force me to become competent at this game, if I ever achieve it. Will likely get the ghost curse before then.

I want the green bones too but I never go for 4 streaks anymore :-/

I imagine. Feels like very few people are playing hourglass regularly, and the ones who are are among the sweatiest. It's just too much of a time investment for extremely grindy gameplay. The mode is in desperate need of some tweaking, though I couldn't say how.

Anyway, I'm probably not going to go for streaks regularly until I have the skeleton curse. A few of the other skelly parts I want require getting close to lvl 200, so I'll have a grind regardless.

Just started playing this again and wow there has been so much stuff added and changed its crazy reading though all the events that happened over the years make me feel like I missed out. do you think they will keep doing world changing events in the future or just add more weapons and equipment?

Also played though the Monkey Island story and being able to walk around on Melee and Monkey islands in full first person 3D was pretty amazing. Definitely nostalgia overdrive.

They will likely still have world and lore changing events, though I'm not sure what form that will take. For a little while they where rolling them as part of the time-limited Adventures, but those have been on pause for a while, and where a mixed-bag, gameplay wise. We know Season 13 will be heavily focused on Flameheart finally returning, with new Skeleton camps and the Burning Blade mechanic.

I think you posted in the discord already, but to answer for anyone else, the main guild is currently full, but there is room in the backup. That said, you don't have to be in the guild to sail with goons, as the regulars in the discord are always happy to play with new players and show them the ropes. Guild membership just get's you a few extra cosmetics and access to the shared captaincy ships.
