    Long term player here, who's remained optimistic throughout all of this.
    While it has been a bit disheartening going so long without significant new content, I understand why these changes were needed. I think it was necessary to improve the new player experience. A game that can't keep new players will inevitably die.
    If you look at what Rare INTENDED, it's actually very reasonable. If 2022 had gone according to schedule, we'd currently be sitting about a year after these foundational changes were done.
    What has me really excited is this: Rare originally would have wanted big new features for their 5 year anniversary, but due to delays, just had a QoL season. Consider that, if Guilds had hit in the last quarter of 2022, the first quarter of 2023 would have been the voyage changes we're currently seeing. Meaning, the NEXT update after would be what they had originally intended to be the 5 year anniversary update. Something meant to really wow the community. I'm excited to see what they come up with.

    As a veteran player I think this is a great update.

      how so? now if you see a world event on your server you've got a pretty good shot at seeing someone there and can go contest it. All the '1-diver' system does is prevent someone from spawning right on you trying to do the event. You still need to keep watch for other players, but you'll see them coming, not get essentially hourglass invaded @@SkillIssue999

    The main issue I have seen with the community is as soon as anyone mentions they don't absolutly LOVE the pvp aspect of the game they immediately get dogpiled by 20 other players who do nothing but pvp and get told they're "weak" and to just go play a different game. There is an over abundance of toxic pvp sweats who are trying to gate keep the game from anyone new who isn't interested in spending every waking moment fighting other players because of they seem to think that that is all there is to the game and it's wrong to enjoy the pve aspects of the game. It's a shame that they have been allowed to become ingrained in the community as deeply as they have because they are hurting the games chances by purposely driving away new players.

      Couldn't agree more. I'm glad they added safer seas because it's something I've wanted from the beginning. Problem is my crew hasn't had the chance to try it out yet because there hasn't been anything new to make us want to actually play. we didn't have any goals, the only thing awaiting us were the same voyages and world events we've done a hundered times.
      but yeah, nothing ruins a fun sailing session like a pvp assclown chasing you across the map. I'm hopeful that this update makes even sailing on the regular sea of thieves much more tolerable.

    Another thing I've noticed:
    Sea of Thieves has pvp and pve mixed in, but I have this feeling that Rare saw the toxicity in Arena and Hourglass and decided that maybe it's best to not make the game an esport for the time being.
    Toxicity aside, they just can't support it properly right now, what with the server issues, cheating, and the ease of ban evading.
    The competitive players will have to wait for a while.

    This video is 10 of 10! I 100% agree with everything you said! I see this S11 update as Rare’s commitment to the game!
    It also makes so much sense to way too many players that it feels like they are preparing for a mass influx of new players. Why? What is coming that they think so many new players will be playing? And after I heard the leaks about possible Playstation release… I… I need that to be true! If SoT comes to Playstation it not only will bring so much more players for the already existing community, but also more Insiders to help Rare. Also more money for Rare to spend on the game is actually a huge one! Especially if Microsoft can see how SoT brings in money, the more resources they are willing to put into SoT to keep it making money.
    I don’t want to seem like the money-makes-the-world-go-round type of guy. But I hope for SoT to be financially profitable because of what comes back to us, the players.
    Rare have proven that they can blow our socks off multiple times, and I am excited to see them continue to do it again!
    Like you said, there is nothing quite like SoT, and I am so grateful for Rare and the community for making this game (imo) one of the best games ever made!

    Sea of thieves is at its core, a PVP experience. When the game first launched PVP was pretty much all we had to keep us entertained, and player provided content was epic. Slowly, those emergent gameplay elements have been stripped away, first by arena, and now hourglass trying to compartmentalize pvp away from the lackluster pve elements, and now they want to add fast travel to further cheapen the experience for those of us who just want to get supplies and hit the waves looking for our own content.
    sadly, i think this season may be the last for the game. Any further changes to make the game "easier" will just make it more boring than it already is.

      The problem with smaller ships is that even the sloop experiences a lot of violent rocking on full billow as it is. A smaller ship would be buggy or even unplayable. I can see where you come from, but captaining one of those things would not only be practically pointless due to lack of proper space, and more limited customization, plus the aforementioned rocking issue. Adding more variations of sloops might be a viable thing though, in fact, I think ship classes could be a thing. Like, a class with a thicker hull making it harder to damage, but also making the ship move slower.

    Thanks for the great encapsulation of the history of SoT, and for the positive message on the future outlook of the game. As a salty Sea Dog myself, I find the current state of PVP to be pretty abysmal, and to me the season 11 updates just feel like even more ways for players to avoid interaction with other crews, depriving me further of the only part of the game I still enjoy.
    My biggest concerns for the future though are related to longstanding issues with foundational gameplay mechanics. Hit reg has admittedly gotten better but I wouldn't call it fixed still, and rubberbanding has in general actually gotten worse for me over the last few seasons. Fighting other players under these conditions is extremely frustrating, and I think leads many players to avoid PVP and lean into the PVE content. Instead of this encouraging the devs to fix these core gameplay issues, it seems to have instead encouraged them to just cater to generating more PVE content.
    Monkey Island was highly underrated. I actually quit when they removed Arenas, and Monkey Island is what brought me back. :-)

    Me my wife and our 2 friends have been playing gta online pretty much straight for that last 6 years. And ever since sea of thieves came out on the ps5 that has been all we have been playing. We did start out on safer seas then tried high sea once at first and immediately we were sunk and lost a ton of loot. My wife and friends swore they wouldn’t play higher seas. But the past week have tried it again and enjoying it. We are mostly cooperative mode type players and stay away from pvp.

    I've been thinking about this as well. As a veteran player, I like the fact that they are changing the voyages. They aren't good the way they were, and I love how they have been using cosmetics as a reward to do that type of content, along with the CoF and Reapers chests.
    Let's be real, anyone who has ever wanted to play Sea of Thieves (PC and Xbox) probably already has. With the addition of safer seas, scaled down world events, and even now, with this update tells me they are getting ready for a lot of new players. The PS5 rumor makes a lot of sense to me now.
    I'm not necessarily worried about content for veteran players. I'll do the voyages now they they are different. If they do open this to another platform, it could spark some life which ultimately would be good for the game and us players as well.

      part of the new loot stuff (VERY minor spoily from the Deep Dive released earlier today) is what they called internally as 'S' tier loot that'll be on the 'emergent events' so at least shipwrecks, possibly megs and skelly ships that ambush you that's better than voyage loot.

    Overall this update looks fun however I am conflicted about the diving mechanic. I’d say there could definitely be some positives with it but also potentially some negatives.

    I hope they do add PlayStation in that would dramatically increase our player base and they wouldn't have the same problem that Xbox did on release. So many people in the beginning didn't know what they were doing. Couldn't find anything explaining it and quit the game before they ever played it. That's why in the beginning the statistics said that less than 50% of people had eaten a banana or sailed a ship
    I think his game would have been more greatly received if it had the maiden voyage when it started

      agreed. And i think they need something smaller than a sloop for single players. and something larger than a galleon for larger friend groups. Something like a Bermuda rigged fishing boat for single handers. different sailing characteristics, enabling it to sail faster when close-hauled (pointing almost into the wind) to escape enemy attacks. and something like a frigate, or a 3rd rate ship of the line for larger friend groups. 2 decks of guns and 6-8 players. of course it would be slow and hard to control, requiring actual teamwork and communication to sail effectively.

    Well paced recap. Video Title had me bracing for clickbait.
    The reception of Monkey Island was heartbreaking. We'll keep playing, took me 4 years to gather friends, and we've become a weekly Galleon Crew in 2023. Guilds stopped us playing, because we couldn't decide on the name. These UI changes are neeeded and I wait patently for "Pirate cosmetic presets" to arrive. Small things like title chest are just a mess. I still value a stable game & server over new content. SoT's getting big, too. Breaking the 100GB barrier feels huge with a tiny SSD

    Yup yup! I agree, the long haul! We started playing at the beginning of season ten but I reckon Rare has a better insight on our future. We arrived from Ark survival evolved and we got brutalized by cheats and the aspect of pvp when you sleep. Wildcard released Ark survival ascended and we’re not interested; instead turning our focus to the new to us: Sea of thieves. We have a blast even when we sink. I only miss Ark for the Dino’s we raised but not the people. That was so toxic and we couldn’t even tell until we found Sea of thieves. I’m grateful for Rare to put and show so much effort. 😢🎉❤😮

Also lets remember how trinkets were the worst addition to the game, seriously, adventure rewards, tall tale rewards, LETS HOPE NO TWITCH DROP TRINKETS.
    I still kinda like this game, and I really love this update, because of the option to go faster from the get go, the hardest part of SoT for me, is just sail, it takes a really long time, so W Rare for this and I hope they keep going

    • @JonBardcore

      Snark aside, I'll actually give you a real answer to this so that you and others can read. TLDR: I can't assume the viewer has the same knowledge I have when I'm making the content.
      If I'm working on a video, I have to decide who that video is for. What demographic am I targeting? In this case, I'm targeting current players of Sea Of Thieves that are curious about Season 11.
      Now, here's the catch. Some of those players don't know the backstory of what they're playing. If we were to compare statistics of new players versus, let's say 1K hour players, new players would be on top. This video doesn't ostracize those new players by only giving passing references to things that have already happened. Instead, it provides enough context that they understand and are appreciative. You can see this in other comments on this same video.
      Now, for many experienced players, I am absolutely targeting a nostalgia factor. It's in my favor to do so. Everyone who has played the game for an extended period of time has favorite memories. They are also intrigued by the idea of a hidden message, but they will also watch to see if their favorite moments are referenced.
