While connection issues were high on Rare’s to-do list for Sea of Thieves , smaller problems have had to be put on the back burner. In fact, Rare has even had to disable some features in the game, like achievements, for the time be

"Congratulations to all of our winners and finalists, whose excellence is driving the games industry forward.Last night’s TIGA Games Industry Awards Ceremony – our largest to date – highlighted excellence, innovation, diversity and creativity in games, businesses and education provide

Beddall, whose work on Sea of Thieves can be seen on his portfolio page , went on to explain a little more of Rare's thinking during development, suggesting that " the plans and ideas for the game were bigger than what was released ," but that the core gameplay loop of the title never really shifted. Whereas Beddall himself was hoping for more by way of " dungeons and raids ," instead he shares the genuine concerns of players over the lack of variety found in the full release of the game. His experience of working on Sea of Thieves was one where Rare was " really anal about every detail of the game " when more focus could have been put into the gameplay itself. " I have never worked on a game that was developed so slowly, " he s

Sea of Thieves developer Rare has published a full list of the game's 60 achievements (for a total of 1,000 points), but with a special pirate-y twist. Rather than explaining what players have to do to unlock the achievement, each one has been presented as a riddle. This adds a bit of fun to achievement hunting and lines up well with the upcoming co-op pirate game 's riddle-filled que

All in all, though, Sea of Thieves players aren't happy about the situation. It comes at a fractious time for the game itself, after a former artist on the title suggested that the devs knew Sea of Thieves was repetitive in nature. With some asking for more from the title, should those disappointed in the Pirate Legend content (and the way that it was reached) make a big enough noise it may cause Rare to give the strategy game maps|https://strategyreviewer.com/ some twe

On top of that, Sea of Thieves players are still seeing a delay in gold and reputation rewards and there has been some server instability noted on the forums. Not all of these issues will be fixed by this week’s patch, but Rare is hoping to get the more pressing problems ironed out. At the very least, this patch should put the game on the path towards stability and new content releases , even if some problems still pers

It’s no secret that Sea of Thieves has had quite a few issues since its launch last week. Most notably, players have been slamming the servers , trying to get online and partake of Rare’s pirate sandbox. Unfortunately, that influx of players has also led to several other problems, including some bugs with the game’s messaging sys

Upon realizing how everything works, you'll begin to notice just how gorgeous Sea of Thieves is. It is one of the most beautiful games I have ever seen. The best word to describe the first sunset and sunrise I saw is breathtaking. The way the sun reflects off the incredibly animated ocean is a technical feat. It is the best looking water I have seen in a video game. This, in conjunction with its cartoon-style player models and environments, makes the tedium of the quests somewhat beara

Rare has a fairly substantial list of things that need fixing with Sea of Thieves, and a patch releasing later today should address some of player’s issues. Specifically, Rare hopes to make sure that all players that unlocked the Black Dog Pack gear via a code should see those items appear in their inventory once the patch arri

For those unaware, TIGA is a network for game developers, and digital publishers, and are a non-profit trade association representing the video game industry.

Even this beginning step was a brief moment of disappointment for me. Initially, I thought I was going to carve out my own adventure with a pirate I created. Although it seems like an arbitrary complaint, the direction the game takes with its progression makes this counterintuit

Commendation achievements also double as Pirate Titles, and are unlocked when certain deeds are done within the game, such as completed a certain number of voyages or earning a particular amount of gold. These achievements range in difficulty from Grade 1 through Grade 5 and upon unlocking the fifth and final grade of Commendation in each set, a matching Pirate Title is awar

Nonetheless, it's unlikely that Prod1gyX will be seen as the true Legend of the game any time soon. At the very least, players may find solace in the fact that the streamer was able to explain a little more of what's available once the rank of Pirate Legend is gained. As it turns out, not only does the player get a set of nifty gear and a nice new hideout after solving a quick riddle, but they then have a new faction called Athena's Fortune that has its own set of legendary voyages. It may not be anything entirely new, but at least it's something extra that takes away from the need to earn gold qui
