I genuinely 100 percent agree with the changes you propose to Safer Seas. This would bring me back to the game in a heartbeat. And convince my friends with ZERO interest in PVP to give it a go. I just wanna sail my captained ship in peace and have a chill fun time on the ocean.

They've been 'working on game performance' for a year now though

[captainbat]

I just want a dingy with a sail that is my biggest wish . Would use it forever

Probably the biggest QoL update one could ask for, would be the allowance to rent dedicated servers for large groups to mess around in. The devs profit off of twenty-a-month rental subscriptions, paving the way for additional content, and players can do as they please so long as cheats or mods aren't involved.

There is Safer Seas, but one could build off the concept they have in play like FacePunch did with Rust.

I think the mimic dart is a bad idea. Theres gonna be a lot of false reports. Imagine you go up against a cheater, he mimics you, and then trolls a different ship. That ship will think you are the one cheating instead of the real cheater

[dominikmokos]

Safer seas giving 100% is finally a good change

[hnesst-ly]

Just wanted to say I genuinely appreciate the production value that goes into these videos. It's not easy to keep me visually captivated with mostly just B roll but you manage to pull it off somehow so thank you!

Also you don't stretch these things out to 8 minutes just to hit the mid-roll ad like a lot of other creators, that's worth a lifetime sub on its own lol

Safer Seas DOES need a buff:
You need to be able to "vote to join separate crew". A galleon of 4 friends load into safer seas. They wanna practice PvP so that they can be ready for High Seas. They splinter off into 2 sloops. Safer still only holds the size of 1 crew (4 players max) and is invite only, meaning you will only have people there that you trust and brought in with you.

If safer seas could be a controlled environment to practice PvP with your friends. . . ALOT more players would be playing safer seas. Hell, I know of people who said they would come back to the game if this was added.

I agree with Captain Falcore, all changes to Safer Seas are most welcome, especially for those players who already hit major records on high seas and wish to still enjoy the game in a “single player” kind of way. I’m totally into cap the reputation as much as possible, giving however the possibility to use captained ships!

Season 14 isn't an elephant in the room, elephants are big

[Hadeks_Marow]

I'm disappointed that this video didn't touch on all the bad design aspects of the new content:

- Traps:
despawning defeating their purpose (yet buried treasure never despawns despite having detection when you walk over them just like traps do, even if it's just to play a noise).

- Grapple Gun:
consumes ammo on miss, range is too short and cannot be used for boarding/pvp/is a death sentence if you try to use it for such due to the double nerf before release where each nerf made the other nerf redundant.

- Chests:
were said to be able to be picked up by other pirates in the 2024 preview event but still not implemented yet and is slower than emote-tucking, making them objectively worse with no real utility to them when compared to the alternative. . . besides waddling I guess?

Rip guy in the thumbnail. Just getting straight up impaled.

[CutiieDeviilX]

The safer seas addition is definitely a great thing it’s good for single players or duos that just wanna farm for ship accessories and relax after a big adventure at the end of the night

*Mimic dart hit successful*
Other Player from crew you're infiltrating: why aren't you using discord/teamspeak/other group VC program?
You: ...
Other player: *kills you*

[skellington]

Some of us are also experiencing crashes since the ledge hanging went live when either loading into a game or happening when loading another crew/vessel into your area. Still waiting on an update for that ticket.

[droconistheantisentient]

If they need to fix anything It's hourglass. It's completely broken and the hackers are still a problem. And the worst part is the NPCs can push you around and it's horrible. Rare is going to break the game.

[coininban]

Yeah, as a seasoned PC player, I don't really care about ANY of this, except the mention of exploits. Every game gets new content, whether good, bad, or indifferent, and every game has bugs. What I want the developers to do is find a way to COMPLETELY stop cheaters (assumingly just on PC?). It's getting ridiculous not being able to kill them, watch them teleport around from their ship to yours, waiting for you at your random spawn back in spots on the ship then insta-killing you, firing volleys of cannon balls at speeds that are not possible due to reloading times, double and triple shots of blunderbuss without reloads, and so on. It's gotten so bad that players now blatantly admit to your face in game chat that they're cheating, or even post videos about it, yet Microsoft and Rare do nothing about it when you report players. All they ever do is reply with a "you need to provide more information." I'm literally giving you screenshots and videos of it happening!! SoT is one of my favorite games, and I'm all for the open world RP-PVP and the challenge of skilled, no-cheating players, but it's close to being unplayable at this point.

[AmplifidChas]

Take a shot for everytime falcore has muttered the phrase "Things will get better" and "Rare is targeting game performance" in each of his videos

[wowolema]

Yeah ive noticed durning the commnity weekend a lot of stuttering and lag, around the Sovereigns and Skeleton Towers or whatever the new skeleton things with Ebon Skeletons are called.

[KINGTIMG]

I would just like them to fix everything before they add anything else.
Just for the game to run properly would be the best gift they could give
