They are straight up doubling the weapons this year. Season 11 to 14 look to be some of the best seasons this game has ever had. Thank you Rare for finally updating the sandbox core.
God loves you all
We Want NEW Instruments And More Shanties PLEAAAAAAAASEEEE Rareeeeeee
them getting rid of double gunning ruint the game
@@app_manifestation no it didn’t
They added two. There was four before
I wonder if they’ve ever looked into adding whirlpools as environmental hazards. Would be so much fun to pull off a whirlpool getaway and see your pursuers get trapped by it.
Ngl that'd be cool!
Ok that is a epic idea
Probably wouldn’t be that hard to develop. The kraken physics could be repurposed into a whirlpool.
Always wanted this
Yes, PLEASE THIS! I've been calling for whirlpools to be added since Day 1! They'd be soooo awesome and create some really unique ship battle moments! :P
This year's updates are EXACTLY what long-date players like I have been asking for a long time. Well done, Rare! You truly are listening to us, and that's one of the reasons your game is getting so much love!
Ik i've been complaining about how lackluster sot's updates have been for years and now they've actually stepped up their game. Credit where it's due these are good updates
I have a ps4 and can't play. Yet. But this game seems so great, and even I can see how they are listening it's really cool, and I really want to play this game, but ima have to save my money for a but
This is going to turn everything upside down. Hourglass, PvPvE, Tucking, Running, survivability... so much.
A lot of these things will ruin the experience as they’re currently designed and cause for some extremely frustrating and unnecessarily unfair and painful situations. They seem too focused on gimmicky mechanics at face value without contemplating the true consequences of the overall meta. Preventing player from boarding and anchoring you will be a thing of the past… which in most situations can quickly have you sunk in seconds vs the right crew. As a game designer and having 8000 hours in SOT myself, this honestly has made me finally lose faith… I can see exactly how these ideas will impact the player experiences for the worst… both new and old.
@@OneMor3Win I see you have wasted 8000 hours of your life playing a game thinking you'll be the best pvper forever since you've memorized every cannon angle, perfected your one-blunders on ladder, your evasions when boarding ladders, your double gunning skills etc. But you forgot one crucial thing: having fun. You've gotten so good at these noskill techniques that you think the meta will fall apart when they lose relevance, but the only ones who will be frustrated and unnecessary in the next season are sweaty basement-dwelling goblins like you.
You should DEFINITELY be able to hit ziplines and harpoon ropes with your weapons to break them as people are using them. Harpoons would just reset after having their rope snapped, and the zipline would stay busted until it's out of anyone's render distance, self-repairing at the same interval as loot respawns.
I mean if a harpoon gun gets hit the line will retract already
Harpoons already do this, but I agree that would be a good mechanic to add to the zip lines too. Edit: spelling
Like the other ppl said, like the harpoon, maybe it just shakes the rope so it knocks them off, or slows them down
We are getting a Skeleton army and essentially a impossible to take burning War Ship and a Batman grapple gun, HELL YEA
I’m in
grapple gun is going to break the game though
@@baconeez3 not really it’s there to get creative exactly what there intending hence the limited usage of it depends how we reload it could be the case of finding the ammo in barrels etc. wich in turn limits the use only for neccesary moments
@@baconeez3hardly, you'll be giving up a weapon slot for it, it looks like
@@Knightsking917 just wait til 4 sweaties grapple onto your deck out of the air and throw down 4 skelly bombs 💀💀
THIS is the kind of risk taking we need to see from the devs. Screw anyone complaining about a potential new meta, we need this!
God loves you all
The only meta I'm worried about is the grapple hooking onto ships from the air. That's going to single-handedly obsolete naval combat in a pirate/ship game, unfortunately. It'll be fun to do, but yeah, naval combat is pretty much done lol
Hopefully things like the wind conch, skelly bombs, and traps will dissuade boarding
@@wileecoyoteee9416 Keep in mind that obtaining that ability is going to completely occupy half of your offensive power. The grapple gun itself is implied to not be able to be used as a weapon, meaning you'd have to get comfortable boarding with only one gun/melee weapon, and for a lot of the more PvP heavy players out there that may not be worth it
@@wileecoyoteee9416 Maybe it's not a weapon but something like a trident meaning you can't take it with yourself to HG diving.
I'm a 3000 hour player with nearly everything done that I wanted to do; triumphant sea dog, gold curse, ghost curse, skeleton curse, all that stuff. I cannot stress enough how excited I am for the new sandbox tools. This is EXACTLY the kind of shakeup that SoT players like myself needed to breathe new life into the game. Bravo. BRAVO. Chef's kiss.
All this new weapons and harpoons looks disbalanced af. What are u talkin bout?
@@alexnovich3267 yet they can also come to be really cool. we'll see when the update comes out, but i'd rather them be taking risks and adding cool stuff rather than playing it safe and adding lame stuff
@@Totally_Bonkers Exactly this. If you develop with an eye toward "MAINTAIN THE ESTABLISHED META AT ALL COSTS AND DO NOT DO ANYTHING THAT COULD SHIFT IT", you'll end up with a stagnant game ecosystem, where players like myself who have pretty much "been there, done that" have no reason to come back on future patches. Shake-ups are way more interesting, meta be damned.
2.3k hours here, same :D
gold curse is not impressive with the checkpoint anymore
One thing they could add is mango and banana trees so like when you come to an island you can search in barrels but also find trees that have these fruits holding maybe 3-5 fruits and once the trees are empty, it will be like a 2-3 minute cooldown to when you can pick new ones.
A raid ship battle that you can take over. I suggested this in the forums years ago. This is the perfect way to add a bigger ship into the game. So excited for season 13!
God loves you all
Hopefully this means more man-o-wars added down the line
This will get people to shut up about man of war however it would be nice if they had frigates
@@jordonlee9162true even just new ships in general like cutter rigged ships and things.
Let the flame burn
I have heard people asking for a world event like the burning blade for years, it's great to see it finally come!
God loves you all
Its literally Blurbs idea of the Man-o-War from way back then lol. Love it
@@viniciusfrjyea that was the main video I was thinking off. Another video that came to mind was from when sea forts were first added and some people wanted to be able to capture them and basically become a player made world event, holding the fort while enemy ships tried to destroy it.
I always expected it to be a GMU ship to do this but flameheart is much better.
@@dizo-jp2tdthis is how you get reported for spam. You’re just copy-pasting the same thing in every comment. Then liking it with alt accounts.
Can you guys PLEASE add in more grounded pirate cosmetics? Like more unpainted hulls with different colors of wood ranging from a pale birch tan to deep red mahogany and have flat and glossy finishes. More basic sails, like striped patterns, tattered and dirty sails, with more washed-out colors. And as my big ask, can you add in more types of ship customization? Like adding more sails or another mast to ships. There doesn't have to be gameplay differences, just more options to customize ships than just colors and figure heads. Also, options like enclosing the Sloops cabin or even completely removing it, bringing the helm further back, and making the lower deck similar to the brigantine. Just turn customization up to 11!
Very nice! Exactly the kind of content update I've been wanting. Next things would be - Net fishing - More sea creatures - More to do in the ocean itself - Alchemy
Bro alchemy would be aswome
@@cyberwolf7859What’s alchemy?
Crabbing
I'd add minigames in the upper floor of the tavern. Some liars dice and similar :)
@@brokkoliomg6103 Before Captaincy came along, I had an idea about plot mechanics in the ship. Basically, the ability to buy and earn certain schematics to put in your ship. So on a Galleon, you'd have maybe four plot spaces. So let's say you have a bunch of barrels below deck, you could replace the barrels with a schematic, like a table for playing liar's dice, or an arm wrestling table, or idk a hot tub or something. Things like that would have really spiced up the ship, moreso than the decorations.
People need to remember, this is all in-development and it will likely undergo vigorous balancing Edit, this is targeted at people saying ‘oH tHaT’s ReAlLy OvErPoWeReD’
God loves you all
obviously
doesnt matter, its hyping time rn, the reality is for later.
You're fun
Yes, I was a little worried about the scatter shot because it seems a little over powered right now
The wind caller is literally just like a breath dial, and i Adore that, just got into the game, can't wait to see how far it'll get
These changes all look fun and exciting but I feel a crossbow design rather than a different rifle for the grapple could be cool for more variation too
Does anyone wanna stay up and wait in ps party to play the game M1NK-XcNemocX
Rare, this is great. All these features sound amazing, and I don’t know what I am most excited for. Happy Anniversary, and let’s hope this continues for years to come!!!
God loves you all
what's great about skeleton bombs and grapple guns? it used to be fun when you land a deck shot now you don't need to even aim cannons to shoot just have scattered cannons and let the game aim for you. There are good updates but overall, it looks like disney and fortnite. Try running away from a galleon when you are a sloop now. Going against the wind won't help anymore. I'm disappointed.
@@SH7MSxKLEHjust be smart with the new wind thing obviously if ur against the wind and u see the galleon using it if u use it too you can probably still outrun it not to mention they will probably balance it where the less people in your crew the more time you have to use it
@@fudge8373 what's the point of the wind if you can have your own wind? What's the point of sailing when you can dive and reach your destination?. What's the point of your skill in combat if you can send skeletons to fight for you? What's the point of learning how to shoot cannons if you have scattered cannons? What's the point of playing if the game is designed to do everything for you? Where's the fun in this? Might as well add skeletons to repair the ship for you and do quests for you
Alwaysss COMPLAINING@@SH7MSxKLEH
Looks like sea of thieves is back on the menu boys!!! 😂😂🔥
Say wha😂😂
God loves you all
@@dizo-jp2td crusader
It's been nothing but maggoty bread for 3 stinking years.
yeah the not installed menu. if you believe a word they say you are a fool. They've been gaslighting the players for years.
Windcaller movement looks so fun wth, I want it NOW
this looks insanely good, but i really think you guys need to change the bonecaller's color to be easily distinguishable from a firebomb, since it looks quite similar too... maybe a whirlwind of bones or a skull within the ball?
Sea of Thieves has truly become one of the BEST social gaming experiences I have had the pleasure of playing in recent memory. Very grateful of Rare and Xbox for not giving up on this IP
"one of the BEST social gaming experiences" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D
@@arelin3578He is true tho. There isn’t that many games that have that social dimension to them nowadays. This is, as they say, a « build your own adventure » game. Laughing at somebody without giving criticism (bad or good) just make you look like a clown
@@GaGaGu775 okay. Let me go straight. The community of sea of thieves is as toxic as in other games. Yes, there are friendly players and yes you can have fun with them. But if you dont want to pvp, you try to avoid other ships, cause you never know, what you get. Cant speak for discord servers tho. But ingame? Irts like kinder suprise with a good chance of a burning poop bag that may laugh on you and insult you. Not, what i would call an social adventure.
@@arelin3578 Met plenty of people over the last years thanks to this game. From previously ennemies to working together at fort, to helping random new sloop against sweat lords. And that’s not counting every awesome pirates I’ve played on open crews and now are part of my daily crew. Sure it’s not always like this. It’s like youtube comments, the ones that get the most attention are the lousiest one and this could apply to life. I sincerely hope you find people just looking out for an adventure to play with you, because this is where the game shines Edit : About being as toxic as other games. There is no « main goal » to do unless you get into that mindset. There is no losing, nor winning, which makes the game less frustrating than other games. That’s just a sandbox quality
@@arelin3578 lmfaoooo do you not have friends?
Yooo they added the bag of winds from SpongeBob 😂
God loves you all
maybe when it 'runs out' of charge your pirate just accidentally drops it and it flies away lol
nah that's a breath dial. now they just need to add a flame dial, impact dial, some of the haki, devil's roar fruits and the race to find the thief piece to become the new pirate lord after Ramsey can begin
Now that we men we can handle it
The bag of winds from The Odyssey?
I love how they based flamehearts ship off the Queen Anne's Revenge from Pirates of the Caribbean
PETITION: Allow players to create private servers on safer seas so that they can play with all their friends on different ships!
how about: allowing people to play High seas, without PVP, and ACTUALLY allow people to now waste hours of progress, after obtaining Pirate legend... Someone like me cannot play safer seas if i want to progress, which keeps me, and my friends off the game..
@@MarkHaakansson I think I disagree. You can't stop pvp on high seas. I think they should just change how safer seas work and allow you to continue progressing
@@nvrkhv They could actually stop pvp on high seas, its easy: Make PVE players "ghost ships" (make pvp Opt In) or change high seas to a PVE gamemode, with higher difficulty on world events and monsters in general, and throw PVP players into Arena.
@@MarkHaakansson I'd personally hate that and I think most others would also dislike it. I do agree that we need a better option for pve players but that would be a bad change to the game probably
@@nvrkhv make it seperate progressions then, Or remove the max rank 40 limitation and the 30% reward limitations from Safer seas, and make it so only the servants of flameheart and reapers are limited to high seas (as those are both PVP focused anyways) Theres -NO- reason to limit the rest.
Looks like contents back on the menu! Happy 6 Anniversary guys, can't wait for this year and beyond 🏴☠️
God loves you all
@@dizo-jp2td yes he does
W admiral.
I feel like those tiny daggers would've been a perfect opportunity to implement climbing enemy ships. You'd just stab your dagger into the hull, kind of like climbing icy mountains.
God loves you all
Maybe in Season 14
Or maybe sometime in the future after all everything they add is a new opportunity to improve
I like the idea that the ability to climb ANYWHERE on a ship, not just the ladders, would be offset by how slow and possibly noisy it would be. Then again, the harpoon gun would kind of make that unnecessary I think
@@dizo-jp2tdhe doesnt love me
6 years. For those wondering, no new armory weapons have been added sense the launch back in March 2018. That means it took them 6 years for them to add two weapons.
cry about it nerd

Flame Heart ... Finaly. Looks all really good. I'm looking forward to the final presentation
"You get these wonderful moments when a pirate can throw a knife at you!" Thanks Mike, sounds magical!
Don't forget the racial slurs lmao
"Now you can feel exactly like a British pirate fighting another British pirate!"
Wow, no misses on this one. This is the first time in a while i've been hyped about everything they talked about. And a player controlled world event?!?! that really feels different in the best way.
How many times do you think they re-recorded this due to misses or hitreg? I swear one of them did get hitregged anyway, but then they sworded the guy to death.
@@Bacxaber By "no misses" he means that, of all the things that are being added in the upcoming seasons, nothing sounds bad. He's not talking about misses with weapons.
Stop giving me reasons to live longer Rare!
Lol
Enjoying Sea of thieves as it is now. These ideas will make it even better! Hope you are still having fun developing it!
THIS IS AMAZING! THE RUNNING ON HARPOON ROPES IS SICK!!!
God loves you all
I'm absolutely in love with the bonecaller! Now, that we see that this kind of mechanic of having enemy PVE entities fight you on the ship is possible, how about adding the possiblity of ocean crawlers jumping onto your ship while sailing, similar to how we see it in Pirate's Life tall tale? That would be awesome!
people would just bitch about that to like they did with recently buffed skeleton ship spawn rates before they nerfed it again.
That sounds so cool. It would be like The Return of the Obra Dinn.
@@minecraftyspeople will whine regardless, that's simply what some of the community does. They don't have developed brains.
I'm good thanks
I say don't make it ocean crawlers, coral skeletons need more love
I have a good idea, you should add boats (like Flameheart) but there factions, like the gold hoarders would have a boat that you can sell stuff and buy stuff on, the merchant alliance would have a boat, etc. Also in my personal opinion you should re vamp or add a new sea monster like a harder kraken.
Just congrats SOT devs, simple as that. There is no other game that shows this much passion and devotion and listens to their players like you guys do, its genuinly impressive, and we all agree this is perfect news. Congrats and thank you, keep up the good work!
I know the comment will probably be buried, but I hope the skeleton nade can be used to put defense on your ship. They could slow down the AI to keep them from hyper repairing, or have them take what wood you have to be able to repair but for solo sailors or duo's running bigger ships. They could easily turn the tide in battle and make the sandbox just that more fun for people who aren't seeking a whole pvp hardcore experience.
They've already mentioned they will be friendly towards your crew so adding defense on your boat will work, and I do like the idea of them repairing but it could be a bit op, they are probably only PvP/PvE and not repairing. Cool idea tho
@@austinwhydoyouwanttoknow5762 I doubt anything could be OP till the players have their hands on it. Stuff is still in development and none of what we see here could be in the game, I mean hell. They legit showed the grappling hook as a basic sniper with a harpoon sticking out the barrel.
I Wonder How long would the skeletons lasts..If They are not killed..
@@yanromano33 probably 5 minutes or so, which could totally turn the tide.
@@brd123gaming9 source you made it up
I hope you guys also add the ability to cut down the ropes with swords or throwing knives or can make it set on fire. So as to maybe balance it since it would be easier to get on to other ships now.
God loves you all
I’m pretty sure (assuming you’re talking about harpoons) you can already at least unhook it from your ship by attacking it on your end or shooting the actual harpoon on their ship. Hopefully they expand this to the actual ropes as well. I’m loving the idea of slicing the rope and sending boarders plunging into the sea 😂
@@the64bitdragon I assume you can knock them back as a alternative method. But maybe then what would happen is the player losing balance and falling over but catching the rope as he's in a pull up position. There so many ways to make it interesting doe
@@the64bitdragonThey probably can’t attack while walking on the rope so it will be easy to shoot them
I more concerned about the grabble gun that lets them board for free from the water.
For future seasons like 15 and 16 I'd love new ship layouts/ ship designs and sea entities/ bosses like the megaladon and the kraken. It's nice to see rare finally try to expand apon the envirement insteed of just adding new grinds.
that would be awesome i hope they add more enviromental effects like whirpools maybe tsunamis more stuff like that but new ship layouts and stuff like that would super cool
Would love to see some ship choices or further customization of current ships to include options for bow or stern mounted weaponry to encourage different styles of battle other than who can circle the other ship accurately. Plus being able to shoot someone forward or backward would be huge.

@@Biscaia86 one specific player has been constantly requesting it in the game for a veeeery long time. check out the SoT documentary to hear the full story
They announced Owls are coming to the game like a year ago.
Looks great! Honestly, I almost dont even want to bring up what could be next xD -> As a solo player - I would love manage my own larger ships with these skeleton or ghost crews (you could add different types of summoned 'armies'). Especially when on Burning Blade you say they already help you out with boarding holes in the ship and such. I would love to have some bot help on my own vessel, to stand real chance against player crews of 2+ on my own.
1) Make sure players have the ability to check chests for players hiding inside them. The hiding in chests idea should only work against players who don't suspect it. 2) Spring traps on top of ship ladders is hard to counter since the ladder will spit you out at a spot without the ability to avoid it. Perhaps give the player the ability to high jump off the top of the ladder to allow better avoidance. 3) Grapple rifle makes boarding ships too easy, the grapple rifle needs a much slower projectile to make it more of a skill shot. It also needs a shorter range. The way it looks now is way too busted.
I have loved this game since release, and I cannot believe that it is STILL getting better with every day. Rare, you guys are incredible. Thank you for showing us love even when the community does not always reflect it back. You all are everything that game devs should aspire to be!

@@BIGBWAR2929 I am not a dev lmao
Seeing lots of concern about the grapple gun. Firstly it’s a while away. And remember that you can only carry 2 weapons, and it counts as one. That forces them to really only have one offensive weapon. That’s dangerous.
I don’t need a weapon anymore I can become an air bender and just push everyone off the boat when I board
like scorpion, get over here. so I can blunderbuss you
It's dangerous until you throw a Bone Caller and magically have skellies to assist you lol
@@sasseriescan’t wait to play necromancer lol
they said it needed the arrowheads to use, i assume they'll be a separate type of ammo needed alongside ammo crate charges that are rarer to find and not infinitely available on your ship but that don't have a stack limit like the ammo crate charges do either that or just a new inventory item findable in chests, that feels like it's bloating the inventory a bit too much though

Thank you Rare for planning to add what me and others have suggested a few months ago. This year seems pretty good for the game, hope a lot more great stuff is planned for it.

So excited to be joining the seas with you pirates in May
The new weapons look awesome. I’m super hyped on the bonecaller too! The wind caller is gonna be super busted but thankfully it is a durability item so hopefully it won’t be abused too much. The grapple gun for boarding is an absolutely nutty concept as well It does seem as though a lot of this will be great for us solos! The windcaller/traps to repel boarders, the skelly bomb to even the odds on larger ships, the grapple gun to assist with boarding or evading… I can’t wait to play more!
This is painful for solo players…. Don’t get me wrong, Rare have done an amazing job with SoT but they seriously need to give Solo players some love It’s going to be even harder for Solo’s now, if not impossible First few years of the game, I could solo 4 player crews quite easily but as time has passed and with each update, I don’t even bother trying to fight 2 player crews Between broken wheels,masts, fires and bailing water, just having time to shoot back has become almost impossible Now I’m going to have people blowing their own sails, grappling on to the ship and shotgun blast holes to worry about Multitasking is going to be impossible for any Solo
Solo sloop, duo sloop, brigantine or galleon, choose your roster at the main menu. If you choose high seas > solo sloop you are put on a server with only other solo sloops. If you choose any other roster you are put on a server with all crew sizes. Should have been done years ago but Rare refuses to acknowledge that solo slooping against full crews is very difficult/nearly impossible if the full crew’s skill level is slightly above average or better.
Rare really is cooking this year! I hope this lives up to the hype
That's why there's 2 stoves on ships now
God loves you all
Make the ropes on our ships work as ziplines PLEASE. Nothing is more piratey than zipping down from the crow's nest to the helm on a rope.
This has to happen, yeah.
I’m def getting back on SoT now with my younger brother which i helped build a brand new pc, used to grind a lot for athena rep few months back but got kinda bored but these changes look so exciting tbh can’t wait and thx for listening to the community guys
THIS IS AMAZING. Adding a Man-O-War, a bunch of ziplines and fast movement, super immersive and cool weapons, New skeleton areas and control over skeletons, and so much more customization to how you want to play in the world. Good job rare. Some other things I think we need is a focus on making is finding loot really fun, and worth the effort, and more people on a server so more player interaction can happen, but those are very tough to implement and will take a lot of thought and time.
Wait man -o-war confirmed? New ship ? How many people I wanted bigger ships for a while

Awesome new things to look forward to but curious about the "Adventure" Story Line which sems to have been tossed in the Scrap Pile. Love the game & can't wait to enjoy the new additions, just hate to have Rare Hype it up so much then toss it aside.
I'm really excited for the things that got announced, love the expanding of weapon variety! One thing im still craving for is a quick way to look what certain accommodations are while looking at the things they unlock. I always find myself looking minutes for the accomodation...
Sloops will be stronger than ever. NOICE. Burning Blade event, best idea since a long time, thank you.
They came up with a bunch of cool tools but what's missing is the boarding ax so you don't have to use the ladder to board and can remove boards from the repaired holes. Also, they should have made boards able to be used as a disposable weapon. One smack and the board breaks. I'd also like to be able to smack someone with a fish even if it does no damage.
What a wonderful company!! I love how much fun you have with development, you are redefining what a "pirate" is in the modern age. The most revolutionary development since pirates of the carribean
Ok gg well played. You've officially won us all back!!!!
God loves you all
speak for yourself. they will again find away to ruin this as they always do
@liquidvitriol4363 I'm glad to see your optimism!!!
@alexa9364 they have been trying to fix hitreg and performance for 6 years and it's only gotten worse. There's no optimism left, just being realistic
@liquidvitriol4363 you know what. You're totally right! Uninstalling right now!!! Thanks man you saved me :)
I wasn’t the biggest fan of seasons 9-11, so to see the features in seasons 12-14, dang how this game bounced back. I actually can’t wait to try out these features, and you know the plays people are gonna make with the new grapple gun. It’s gonna be a crazy year. Also, a few suggestions for things to add; what if you could swing from a rope from the capstan and use that to board a ship. What if you could hire humans/skellies to work on your ship for you at taverns (npcs). Finally, a playing card skin for the new throwing knives (you know it’s coming)
bro think he The Finals with that last suggestion
@@Harbor811 yep 👍. That’s exactly where I got it from
@@Harbor811 nah but like, we have the player set with the gambling materials on it, why not add a playing card skin?
i was waiting for this moment since day 1 of release. i am so back into sot
A small idea Ive had since I got sea of thieves a couple months ago is that you can put things like ashen winds skulls and tridents of dark tides into the cannons and it turns it into that thing so the ashen winds skulls makes the cannons a flamethrower the skull of siren song does the skull of siren song thing and you can take it out whenever you want
Season 12 and Season 14 have me hooked, I am totally in love with how the devs are going about these two seasons, stealth is something ive always wanted in sea of thieves, or something that helps players be more evasive and swift, like hurdling, mantling, scaling, leaping, swinging or even diving into waters. Sounds very similar to AC Black Flag, and im all for it!!!
Imagine wearing an outfit that lets us blend into the background vegetation or something. As a single player, I'm so excited for stealth to be added.
This looks like it will be the best year for SoT, all of these seasons looks amazing.
Agreed. Let's see his different they are when they actually come out
Absolutely amazing work guys thank you all this will be a very fun and exciting year for SoT cannot wait to see next year already haha
These are some awesome additions coming to the game, but I have several things I would like to be changed in the game personally. 1. Seeing the new harpoon changes, this is a perfect opportunity to add harpoon cosmetics. 2. The treasure chests in the game( that's the chest that allows you to put three small items into it) currently can't be bought at outposts or be brought with you when you merge onto another server via either portal hopping or diving, I would gladly sacrifice the ability to sell these treasure chests, if it meant being able to do the two things that I mentioned earlier. 3. Since it's largely unused, I think that restructuring the servers so that when you start a session, i think having the Sea Dog Tavern as the spawn point for all crews would be awesome. I would completely understand if other players would disagree, these are just my personal opinions on the things i mentioned.
Number 3 is the only thing I disagree with, maybe have like 3 of them and a player could choose to spawn at a random sea dog tavern or a random outpost
I would recommend changing the sails on the burning blade to a sail configuration similar to the Black Pearl's or the flying dutchman's, It just seems to fit better.
Yeah that would be amazing
Well there's certainly no chance of THAT being the final design, since they don't even have Flameheart's symbol...
shut up
11:06 HOLY CRAP THAT IS SUCH A COOL SHIP DESIGN
some ideas for season 14 and beyond: 1. crossbow - stealthier long range option - a lot more quiet than any gun - more range - more reload time - less damage than blunderbuss 2. smoke bomb - good getaway option for when you've stolen from someone and need a quick getaway 3. shark tooth bear trap - functions like regular bear trap but can only be activated three times then breaks - activates from enemy players, skeletons, and well shot cannonballs - if stepped on players who are caught in the trap take immediate damage, let out a loud scream and are stuck - to escape players must look down and hold a button to free themselves -players who own said trap cannot be caught in it and neither can their crew - this trap and all other traps can only be placed once per person and no other traps can be placed afterward until it is fully used or is destroyed - enemy players who notice these traps and any others can disarm them (not really sure how yet) 4. fireworks trap - good for when you need to leave the ship unprotected in order to find treasure -functions as a wire trap that when tripped shoots up a firework that explodes, potentially alerting all nearby pirates 5. bomb trap - same as the fireworks trap except when tripped it instead explodes killing anyone nearby - has secondary function where it can be connected to a chest and once said chest is picked up it can then activate the trap 6. rope ladders - in place of ladders on either side of ship, rope ladders are functionally the same but have one new feature, they can be rolled up at any time to prevent people from climbing on board - useful for naval combat as it makes boarding more challenging - can also be rolled back down when you are by an island and need to easily get back up on ship 7. grappling hook - in place of harpoon gun - has less range - has an arc and must be thrown above target to hook successfully - must hold down button to charge throw for further range - once hooked on must hold w to climb - other players can see hook and hit it with a sword or knife to break it that's it, otherwise awesome update you guys!
Bro retractable ladders would make ship battles actually be about ship fighting and I am sooooooo for it omg
Well done Rare, a lot of exciting updates! SAIL ON!
"We will also be bringing back a bunch of bugs that were previously fixed as well as adding some new ones" Mostly joking, this all looks great, you're a diamond in the rough when it comes to devs Rare.
"We have lowered the spawn rate of sharks" Sharks spawn increased by 1000% "Pray we don't decrease it further"
@@Belzuboss Haha see what you did there, I'll do one: "Somehow, the shipwright supply bug has returned"
Woooooooooo! To say "knocked it out of the park" I think would be a massive understatement! Absolutely cracking job Rare!
Sword and grapple gun sounds like it will be THE go-to meta loadout for any pirate. The sword offers a reliable form of damage and mobility that does not rely on a secondary weapon due to the lack of ammunition or having to reload. The grapple gun on the other hand is the king of utility, as it lets you get from one side of an island to another, haul multiple pieces of loot, get to/from your ship/board opposing ships, and also offers a reliable way to close the gap for your sword. I can imagine four player galleon crews just spam boarding a solo sloop with the grapple gun and sword. It actually sounds very unfair on paper.
I imagine solo sloops are going to be suffering for a long while after all this drops. Can’t know for sure though until this stuff actually comes into play, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out the solo sloop population dwindles down into a very small amount after the updates.
just one thing comes to mind: with boarding other ships made so easy, cannon combat will be less and less relevant. You should limit the ability of a player to drop the anchor on an enemy ship otherwise with all these boarding options it will take all the fun away.
I thought of grappling hooks before, but I thought they were a pipe dream! So cool!
God loves you all
The moment of truth, let’s see what they got
FLAMEHEARTS PHYSICAL APPEARANCE? PLZ PLZ PLZZZZZ
Trust me no more quality of life focus next updates only good stuff from here@@CharlieToof
is it a stone curse or a silver curse
No making sliver curse.
I already know what there adding I have insider…. Its good stuff
Wow the next year of updates sounds amazing! Think of stealth options, it would be awesome to be able to flip a rowboat upside down to trap air to be able to go underwater for a limited amount of time. Just like in The Crimson Pirate or Pirates of the Caribbean movies
Rare team ! ur incredible, thanks a lot for add fixture, and create a new adventure !!!! we love u
This Will Be A Good Year For SOT Good Luck To Running Reapers With The Grappling Gun.
Makes it infinitely easier. Encouraging avoiding missions and just bum rushing everyone in sight.
Everything looks awesome but one thing: if we can use the horn to blow in sales means the small ships are practically screwed when fighting against big ships. You can't run against the wind anymore to escape and the people from the big ships also have more people who can use the horn to make the ship faster.... so RIP solo sloop players like me....
That’s my one worry about it as well, as a solo sloop player, I know when I should get the hell away from a 4 player crew…guess we will be easy pickings now
I'm not surprised since the devs have been trying to crack down on solo slooping for years now. First with the introduction of masts, wheels and anchors breaking, now this? Honestly as someone that spent half my play time sailing solo I have not seen the point in doing that for a long time and playing with friends just ends in arguments so I refuse to play the game altogether. The game is designed to punish you for sailing alone, plain and simple. Though I suppose the skeleton AI would be helpful if they can at least repair but I highly doubt they'll be any help against 3 double gunners.
Keep whining while everyone else is having fun then. God, some people are impossible to please
I mean man I will enjoy most of the stuff be sure of that but if u on a sloop u will not escape briggs and gallions anymore because of the horn and with the new grappling tools u are 100% boarded - like no questions.... I just saying the things like they are....@@raider360X_sot
I mean i dont think its necessarily to dissuade solo play but really to try and dissuade running from every fight with solo play being an unfortunate casualty, the wind shell i think is limited though and i can see crews wasting a lot of them, im sure solo will still be possible, just maybe combat will be more likely which makes sense, it is a pvp game after all really. I'll probably still solo sloop, and again this is all still in development. Im sure theyll balance it
You guys doing crazy things... I'm impressed! Can't wait to try out all new features
In the pirate of the Caribbean quests theirs that one water rapids you get to ride down, I hope they add more of that in the normal world in the future, the zip line looks fun though.
I remember one of my best gaming moments playing this game was the first time I went trough my inventory and look for all the available tools I had and how they work. Having more tools to play with is an awesome addition to the game ! Thank you very much Rare for this dev direction. Can't wait to test this out ! Cheers ❤
RARE MIGHT BE COOKING WITH THIS ONE 🗣️ 🔥
They are cooking, and I can’t wait for supper
They are literally cooking with season 13, every things burning
God loves you all
@@TheWatcher20🔥🔥🔥
We making it through the sea of thieves with these new weapons🔥🔥🔥
Well done guys, we can really feel your love for the game and the community pouring out. This is why I love the game so much. I can't wait to play all of the upcoming new content and be able to play crossplay with my partner. :)
The fact that you can actually join flameheart and get your own skelly ship is amazing
Love the sound of more options for stealth, I always tried to make the barrel disguise emote work for that. I wish there was more you could do against a ship once you board it, like a heavy melee weapon (axe? pickaxe?) that was slow but high damage, and could make the smallest size hole in a ship with a charged attack. Give you something to do if you wanna sneak below deck on someone's ship.
Yeah, that’s a good point. There’s no way to put holes in a ship from the inside
As a sneak option the dagger sounds really cool. If you can stab someone from behind while sneaking it should be an instant kill or at least double damage.
