For me personally, Season 6 was the last update that suited the season structure. It simply doesn't work now, there has to be a change to the update cadence. Monthly pirate emporium updates can't sustain the game for 3-4 months. Each main update drop has to come with activities that will keep us entertained between update drops, instead of 1 day gameplay that can be completed quickly, only for paid cosmetics to keep us with the game. Seasons should feel like ... well a season, they should feel like significant eras in the Sea of Thieves. Sorry for the rant, it could very well just be me personally.

That storm curse should have been a hunters call curse.

[VenLapaki]

Normally, I'm not really against any form of paid cosmetic content. I'm fine with those willing to pay extra keeping the game running for the rest of us, so long as it didn't give an advantage.

Though it is concerning when your only progression in the game is also cosmetic. The more they push new cosmetics into the emporium, the more it makes me question if there will be cosmetics worth grinding for.

Curses in the emporium is the worst rare has done in a while

[awalkthroughthewoods]

The fact we didnt even get a small fetch quest to go steal the burning blade is crazy.
If it was so easy to guess who stole the burning blade and if Tasha is hearing so much like she states if you talk to her, why the hell did she just leave it on the counter overnight and not think to maybe hide it.

The issue with most current story parts (Imo) is just that no one thinks anything through or gets surprised when the obvious happens, the characters i mean.

Also curses in the Emporium continue to be a bad idea, we already get brand new models for costumes and whole ships on a regularly never-ending basis, now they're doing recolours of paid cosmetics as well as paid curses.
I don't mind supporting some games but they are owned by a Trillion Dollar company, i think they can afford to miss one or two Emporium updates in order to add more in game items.

I started playing in mid season 9, so everything I know about SoT lore comes from videos and the tall tales. I really wish we had seasonal updates that felt like seasons, and things like arena and adventures came back in some form.

I’d especially love it if the old adventures came back, just as tall tales for newer pirates to play through. Little to no change needed

[mariofan]

In truth, I feel like they had a missed opportunity on having the reapers or flameheart show up back in the monkey island tall tale to force the burning blade away from le chuck in the finale

[AgentStone]

daddy microsoft really needs to make it's money back after that activsion blizzard deal

[Mr.LegoGrievous]

You’ve inspired me to listen to the Minecraft ost while playing SoT. Some of it fits very well, especially Aria Math

[chazzerine]

Fun fact: The double barrel pistol + flintlock combo can now 2-shot a pirate (45 + 55 = 100 damage)

[JaxyCafe]

The Double barrel should:
1. Click to fire while aiming
2. Charge shot should shoot through multiple enemies like a sword lunge

And then it’d be a cool weapon.

[TheHallow]

I don't know why everyone's convinced that the sword is gonna play a part in Flameheart's resurrection. He's *been* back since the conclusion of the "Return of the Damned" event, as far as the story is concerned anyway. He's been here, just offscreen.

The Burning Blade sword is going to be used to manifest the Burning Blade ship.

[AdvSpringBonnie]

Why even give the sword to Tasha if they were just going to have it taken away like that? Surely they could've just had it stolen from the Pirate Lord himself and left Tasha as she was until they get back to whatever the Bretheren is doing?

[Ghost-iucz]

I think that there testing paid curses to see if the people like paid to curses

[pleythru]

Lol at the ship meta changes 6 years in. Testing how that feels now might get me to hop into SoT

[SilverShelbyUWU]

for me I've kinda given up on sea of thieves, it use to be one of my main games that I would play after getting home from work cause I found it so much fun to grind out and try and figure out the lore stuff that was happening at the time. but over the past year or so, think since season 4, I havent really had motivation to boot it up and the story just seems so dull now. wish this game couldve gone in a different way

[LeoDeC-bkkm]

Why was the new gold hoarders boots put into the outpost shop and not the faction shop? Also I was given the beardless dark warsmith tor free after already owning the default.

[johnwhite]

I still think the game has a long life ahead of it but I’m also curious how much Microsoft pushes rare. I’m sure it’s mainly about the pirate emporium shop

[Blindalotl]

I think puting curses in the emporium is fine. It doesn't really take away from the novelty of ghost or skely curse

[sages]

I like how they want you to pay for the storm strike curse and won't show you a preview of what it looks like on your character. I bet it's completely lackluster in comparison to the sunken sorrows curse.
