I continue the discussion about player experience through Rare's messaging. I also reveal an experiment I did with the current event and how horrible my experience was but how BROKEN Alliance Servers are. I argue Rare is turning Sea of Thieve's into an adventure game with ships, instead of a pirate game and I explain how their updates, content and events show this. I provide suggestions on how Sea of Thieves needs to change course to bring Pirates back into the game and leave the Alliances behin...

Let's discuss player experience. I often forget about new players as I haven't been one for some time. In this episode I look at both new and veteran player experience and how Rare is effecting it through a wheel that keeps turning regardless of how many people come in or jump ship. How can we break the wheel and build a great player experience for new and existing players for the next 5+ years?

I talk about my personal play experience of Season 4 and where I feel the strengths and weaknesses of this Season are. I go through the news, including Twitch Drops and new Spooky Emporium items to get your ready for Halloween! I then look at what the community has been saying about Season 4. Surprisingly I disagree with the fire and torch approach I'm seeing on Social Media, and though it has a base, it isn't as bad as they say. The issue causing this outcry is coming from another source, and I...

Captain Falcore, a content pillar of the Sea of Thieves Community released a video on Sept 14th introducing a new concept "Expeditions" which would be a way for Rare to expand the map while still supporting old hardware like the XBOX one. I look at the concepts of this video and expand on how this system could also bring in the Arena!

In this episode I continue to discuss changes to the Emissary system which would give dedicated risk takers better rewards for continuing to raise their flag past Grade 5 and becoming prestigious with the trading companies. How would you feel if you did a Gold Hoarder Vault, turned your loot into the Reapers and then have a bounty on your head for betraying the Gold Hoarder? I discuss a bounty system which would add some interesting player interactions. CHARITY DONATIONS: https://www.extra-life....

In this episode I discuss one of the best systems Sea of Thieves has, the Emissary system. Since it was launched over a year ago, it hasn't had the best impact; however with some changes it could take the next step in being an amazing system of risk vs reward and really encourage interesting and fun player interactions.

Boarderlands comes to Sea of Thieves in the short limited time event until Sept. 7th. Yet again we see the creative spark of Rare non existent as they just reuse and recycle tasks from the past with no connection to Mayhem or Boarderlands. I go through each challenge and discuss which challenges are good for this event, which ones need to go, which ones need tweaked AND provide some creative new challenges that should have been a part of this event.

Though we don't have access to actual XBox stats on the player base, we do have insight into how many players have played Sea of Thieves. I dive into the XBox achievement data and take the numbers reported by Sea of Thieves's website and do the math to find out how many actual players there have been in Sea of Thieves vs how many accounts have just logged in 1 time. We also look at the Pirate's Life update, how many players have played through the new story. It is quite telling when you actually...

Now the a Pirate's Life has been put in our wake, what is next in the Lore of Sea of Thieves, who is the next big bad guy coming.

In this episode I look at the most recent patch notes and go over the highlights. I think take a walk down memory lane and look at Legacy content which has been in the game for a long time and my ideas to bring it up to the "Pirate's Life" standard. The most recent update has set a new standard for where rewards and content in Sea of Thieves is, and there is A LOT in this game which doesn't meet that standard.

In this episode I go through the history of SoT and it's honoring of PotC then we dive into what we saw at E3.

Rare had some interesting takes on this topic and the 2 loud factions of players who divide the community.

Season 2 has not started off great for Sea of Thieves. Though the launch of Fort of Fortune has pushed interesting interactions, the hype wasn't enough to even match the launch of Season 1. With no change to the length of the season, Season 2 is looking to be even less of a splash than Season 1 was which says a lot considering Rare has had leaky holes in their player base since July of 2020. In this episode I discuss the good, bad and ugly of Season 2, why the Fort of Fortune was honestly expect...
