Disappointed in Sea of Thieves

I know I may be late to the party with this but I've been without an Xbox for a few months.... lets just call it smash therapy. Recently the time has come to acquire another and get back to what I love doing! I was excited to see Sea of Thieves available
of Xbox Game Pass. When it came time to play I was so frustrated at the lack of instruction and no direction. I mean at least some tips or hints? I ended up watching YouTube videos just to understand where to get started. Anyways, now that I know what to
do I'll waste a day lookin' for some booty! So send me some invites and we can plunder! Argh!

Please do not mention these things in forums.

 

Why not???

 

Yeah it is quite an open game and just leaves you with your own devices on what to do.

 

I can understand your frustration, I have heard some feedback that a tutorial is needed for the game. Once you get past that though, you are absolutely correct that time flies while playing. I enjoy being able to log in and not really have a goal but in
the end you either have gained some treasure, sunk some ships, or just made a fool of yourself trying to be a pirate! Awesome fun!

 

To be honest I was excited for SoT until I found out it was one of those "make your own adventure" kinds of games. While that may be fun for people who have a static group they can play with, for most of us who want to hop on and just have some fun it really
stinks. In my opinion two things would have really improved the game:

1. Automatically grouping you with other players

2. And ongoing story and questions

Maybe Rare will fix things, but I am not expecting it. I can hope tho!

 

Erm..................you do know it does automatically group you with other people right? You literally have to choose to go solo.

Also there has been two "story" DLC's that have been released that has added lore to the world, the first was when the Megladon got added, and now the Cursed Sails has added quite a bit of lore to the world.

 

I wish there was a more solo option.

 

I like to think that SoT is a game that is constantly growing. If we send our feedback correctly, the game only tends to improve constantly, with bug fixes and content addition.

 

These forums exist to discuss games, whether it be a good or bad opinion. The OP was constructive and well thought out in their opinion, we should be encouraging more to post like this.

 

I wasn't aware of that feature at all, in fact I had a friend tell me that you have to find friends to play with it won't auto-group you. Now I feel like I may be really missing out.

 

SOT is one of those games that throws you at the sea and you either learn to swim or you drown in it (pun intended)

Playing the game with the right crew helps and even more if you have the will to become Legend!

 

I agree that the onboarding process is not ideal. I have a friend who got Game Pass just for SoT and ended up stopping after 20 minutes because he didn't know what to do.

For me, the game has no real direction. I love the idea and visually it is beautiful but the story of what is going on in the world is way too vague.
