ZeusCannon posted:Thanks I had no clue about this. It actually makes the games pass ( and other services like it ) seem far more useful for just trying things out. I agree! The passes I've come across are a drop in the bucket too, which makes them all the more sweeter. It's almost free video games at that point.

How much crying could be avoided if solo players just took the chests they had off their ship and hid them on the island they're working on until they're done there? I usually only do 2-3 maps before making an outpost stop depending on the number of chests, but most bigger islands have plenty of hiding spots right near the shore where you can stack all your loot and no one will be able to find it unless they already know where it is. Obviously you don't want to do this with any animals that make noise, and I don't know if there's any pc settings tomfoolery that can make vegetation easier to see through, but I haven't lost a single chest since I started doing this. Even if somebody comes and sinks your sloop while you're away you just have to sail back to the island and remember where you hid the stuff.

Yeah, that last quote has a point, there isn't anything the xbox crowd can do to PC players if they are using controllers, I can bunnyhop around their ship for days while eating their bananas without worry of them tracking me well.

As far as I'm aware quite a few solo players do actually do this. At least one on Reddit said at least for the island they are at they unload their stuff and hide it while they aren't on their ship, meaning if you sink it while they are gone there's no loot. To be fair to them we have never bothered checking the island after sinking a ship parked at an island, so it probably works well.

Wouldn't be such a big problem for them if they didn't all insist on using the blunderbuss and cutlass instead of the superior pistol and cutlass. Since I started using the pistol the amount of times I've been able to simply walk backwards and shoot, and then bunny hop around a blunderbuss shot and do the same again is ridiculous. Pistol and blunderbuss is better than blunderbuss and cutlass, but again far easier to bunny hop around a blunderbuss than it is a cutlass. The cutlass actually hits you and stun locks you even if you've jumped, the blunderbuss just skims you and does minimal damage. If you try to use the cutlass against someone with a blunderbuss dead on it obviously won't go well, but the point is to try and get them to shoot at a time where they won't do much damage because you're too far away or jumping around, and then lay into them.

Isn't there something of a problem with the stash strat in that there's still no reason not to sink the boat and then you have to respawn and go back to the island to collect. At that point I'd rather just start some new maps, but then again, I'd rather do none of that dumb poo poo and just be the guy sinking the ship.

For sure, and with the new respawn system it may respawn you on the other side of the map. It took me about 3-5 minutes of straight sailing to sail across the map in a galleon, which when it has full wind is significantly faster than a sloop, so potentially you waste time sailing back. On top of that of course you may run into the galleon again when you head there. I guess if you got a really good haul of high value items then *maybe* it's worth it. Can't see how it would be a better use of time then simply returning to an outpost to sell poo poo now and again.

Sea Of Thieves Whiner posted:You may call my words "spam" .... but this is what happened ... i explained what happened... and the endless come back of sunken ships is the real ingame issue ..and it is similar to spam... My post about it isn't a issue . So if you feel offended because of the facts then i didn't see a upcoming change to solve the problem . And the problem is not that i'am a bad PVPler or a bad or weak Player. And i know .... my post is disturbin , shocking and sad....but it is true . And if you read the same sentence over and over again endless times then maybe you can understand how boring , senseless and dumb it will be into the gameplay situation that the same sunken ship comes back thousand times. Why shouldn't i write here thousand times the words "they sunk and came back" to demonstrate what this pvp gameplay system really is ? The irony is that no one must care about what i write here ...no one must read it.... if you think that i'am a troll or a spammer then read it or not thats your choice... but every player is forced to care ingame about a enemy player ship aslong it will attack and if the attacks will be hours long because no one gives up than this all could be more bullying instead of pvp. And it feels like bullying if i be forced to leave the Server because another player nerves me . The question is : Should SOT be a game for bullys , griefer , trolls , hacker , cheater and spawncamper ? For context the tread they called spam and locked he copied and pasted "We made them sunk... And they came back" like a hundred times. Kitchner fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Apr 16, 2018 |

Our crew got accused over voice chat of aimbotting and otherwise cheating by some sloop that didn’t have their lives together. They were *shocked* that our galleon got the drop on them in Shipwreck Bay and we pvped our way to victory, taking their treasure and quest skulls before sinking their ship. Did they think a well-crewed galleon couldn’t enter the rocky area? Did they know that it’s possible to successfully hit other crews with guns and cannonballs? All signs point to no.

If pubbies didn’t want to get sunk at skull first maybe they shouldn’t be greedy shits who want the vault loot all to themselves? I give a ship coming to a skull fort one chance to be cooperative because a bunch of bodies working together really helps burn down the skellington waves, as the few pubbies who have agreed to help have proven. But the vast majority of pubbies, sloops and galleons alike, coming flying in cannons blazing so I sink their rear end and will sink them again at the first site of them. Notice how those whining on the Reddit aren’t complaining no one wants to help them; they’re whining because they can’t get all the loot themselves uncontested without other players being able to do anything about it

The FPS combat is slow and imprecise so I don't see a huge advantage for the PC crowd. Maybe just a little one. For the ship combat I'd rather have a joystick for cannon aiming, personally.

Mr. WTF posted:Destiny 2 "is a huge flop" because the SA nerds enjoy hating it. In the real world of reality though, it has likely done close to $1b in revenue. .. Destiny is a gigantic property and they want it to be an ongoing one with dlc and updates and sequels. Yes, D2 sold well, based off D1 and Bungie's name, and D1 sold well because of Bungie's name. But Bungie's name is now meaningless, and they can't even attempt to make a D3. They're going to be in an uphill battle for the rest of their life. This may be the beginning of the end for Bungie as a company if they can't do something dramatic. So yeah, technically "Destiny 2" is a financial success. But there's no way anybody at Bungie is happy with its performance right now. They're putting out fires and in 24/7 damage control mode right now. Player numbers are guaranteed to be extremely anemic at this point. They haven't even released the 2nd DLC yet and already nobody wants anything to do with it or whatever comes after.

I need to make an "Average Sea of Thieves Galleon Fight" compilation and it'll be mostly stuff like the guys who attacked us last night with drive by cannon fire, swerved and zigged and zagged off into the distance while we were unloading at Galleon's Grave, and then scuttled

To be fair when the ships used to respawn close it was worth the betrayal strategy just to stop them from attacking you. With the new system I'm not as fussed which is a shame as the goon betrayal was great fun.

There is also the fact that two people just slashing skeletons at a chokepoint can clear a wave in 10 seconds compared to 5 minutes of idiots running around and respawning when they eventually get shot in the open.

Bungie is definitely not considering D2 a success right now. Hell, D1 was actually popular and they didn't even consider THAT a success because it wasn't as mainstream and never hit Halo 3 numbers. Hence them making D2 more approachable to casuals and ruining it for the few people who gave a poo poo.

Zaphod42 posted:Exactly. Ok, I've got to disagree. Could D2 have been better and do they wish the player base was more loyal and they had actually monetized the ongoing game? Absolutely. Saying two released games in a franchise that did ~$2 Billion in sales are "not a success" is just not how math works. You both are out of your mind if you think a corporation won't pursue a third iteration of a franchise that's done that much revenue. They will just try and correct the mistakes. I do think it's funny though how D2's development path seems like it is basically migrating it back to D1.. Anyway, I dig the game, I think both have been awesome. I was never looking for Destiny to solve every gaming desire in my life for a decade. I'm not defending it frankly, but when 99% of the thread is 'comedy' poo poo posting about how much the game sucks, it's annoying, but when it departs completely from commercial reality I HAD TO STEP IN AND BECOME THE HERO THAT FACTS DEMANDED.
