Ahoy the lads, I want to know your thoughts on this. There are alot of people saying this game isnt going to last long due to lack of content. Tell me what you think and why.
Thoughts about Sea of Thieves dying and no long lasting content!
Why create another forum-spam thread when there are currently numerous amounts of others discussing the same topic?
To name a few:
https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/30719/will-it-be-repetitive-or-not/25
https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/30692/is-there-enough-content/13
https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/30715/games-launch-set-to-run-agroundI played enough of the beta to know this game will be huge.
Rare is onto something and I'm betting they cant wait for launch, because that's when it finally will start. After launch they're going to reveal the roadmap for the near future.
People concerned about lack of content are basing thier opinion on limited test versions, not the final launch build.@xshadovvhunterx Exactly lol, I see so many people complaining about a "lack of content". The game literally hasn't been released yet somehow people are already complaining about lack of content and repetition. You can't judge a book on it's cover, or the prologue for that matter.
@killingcurse1: While i can't say that i share this opinion, i can say that those who do have good reason why they have this concern any many like it. Let me frist adress the fact that the main argument used to resolve this is "It's just an alpha/beta it's not the full game" while the premise is correct it is weak as does nothing in acutal adressing people concerns and is actually conter-productive cause it stifles any real debate. All the other things that can be provided as proof of content are just the developers words in interviews which can be striped down to promises in which you have to trust the deveolper. There lies the biggest issuse as the gaming landscape is today one of major distrust and skeptism of deveolpers from the gamers in there communities. Now i can go more detialed in this topic but its to long already but i hope i gave you some insight as to why this a large topic.
@enf0rcer I don't agree with people who say it doesn't have enough content so... And yes, you are absoloutly right, it is still very young in other words.
What I've said before, "If you want levels and upgrades, dont even bother trying to change anything let alone buy the game".
Ps: I don't think this is the case becuase of the pioneers program althou sadly im not a part of, the fact that such a program like this exist shows the developers trust in its community and that they truly value our feedback. "Trust is earned, not given" you've earned my trust Rare please keep working hard to earn the trust of the gamers and together we will rebuild the AAA gaming landscape for the better.
@killingcurse1 I think the controversy over the progression system is that early the game promtion they used vague terms most notably "Become pirate legend" it wasn't until the start of the beta did they announce the progression system video what they there going for i doubt they even knew till they made that choice. As they have made many counter statmentes. By then most players had there own idea of what the game was going/and should be. So ofcorse many who played the beta were concerned as it added to the confusion but there is a relationship with Rare and a few select players that we have a share in the process in making this game. And if we want somthing bad enough Rare will give it to us. Hence the founder badge.
Putting aside the 'its in beta 'point. I think what is critical for Rare is to share in slightly greater detail (Im sure they will) the increase of different activities on the roadmap hopefully.
At the moment its fetch quests...or steal the fetch chest.
with lots of great fun PVP action. (Some of the best fun I''ve had in ages)
Im sure they will add Kraken and Skeleton boss fights.
Who knows, will there be crafting, ship upgrades , what really is progression like? etc
Maybe real time events in the world....im not sure.But your right i think really the issue is noone knows so we think slightly on the negative side.
Me personally? Well the developers have stated the 'golden age' of piracy has not yet begun, so i am actually optimisitic and trust that Rare know full well that you cant just fetch chest for years.I feel good about it!
@mozsta69 I agree with you. I really would like some more detials. there were a lot of hints and teasers in the alpha and beta but no clear cut answers. Hopefully on the 13th we will get more solid answers from the media.
@sir-fortesque Excellent. Im a relative newbie and did not realize ....but like i said 'Im sure they will ' let the information flow. Thanks for letting me know.
@enf0rcer The embargo is solely for the information that the press has been given, Alpha Testers and Pioneers will still be under full NDA and any disclosure by them will be dealt with accordingly.
@sir-fortesque I know thats why i mention that. the problem was in thoses videos there were some seeming controdictions like we all start with the equipment and only cosmetics while in the beta you could buy a blunderbust, some think that there is a vertical progression tied to ship costimization from what they said in another video. But you missed the point. While there videos from the develpers until its something you can put in the players hands its just an empty promise. Thats why there are a good amount of players who want a beta and will use that as there sole dision on a purchase. Like demos use to, agian this is mainly do the current AAA climate. Just understand that i share your belief but you should try to understand that the other side has a legitmate concern and you listen closely and not be dismisive.
@enf0rcer No worries mate, it's been a pretty common theme as we know there's a lot of excitement and a lot of people want to talk about their Alpha or Pioneer experiences but are not able to.
@enf0rcer I do not mean to be dismissive but i will not make assumptions on facts that are not known to me without seeing the final product first. Just the way i go about it personally rather than go on here and change some minds based on rumors. Glad to see not everyone here thinks the game is dead before it starts and it is encouraging seeing the community talk about the game and trying to help it along.
@sir-fortesque
I agree with you. i'm not saying you personaly are bing dismisive. For the porpose of this thread i just want to offer some insight as to why this is a continued issue and to try to spark a debate as to how to move forward without coming off as dismisive. Like i said before it's a long and compicated issue in which i would like to continue to offer my insight and try to bridge the gap.@sir-fortesque said in Thoughts about Sea of Thrives dying and no long lasting content!:
@enf0rcer They do have videos on Player progression on they're Youtube.
Its not the kind of progression gamers are used to; no levels and no motives to continue playing this game. But we will see what they have in store for us once it releases. Here is the video you are talking about:

@univalvewolf976 said in IF an open beta comes out:@Mad-Jack-Ketch
I think more and more that Rare has cut the content for the Closed Beta on purpose to get some really negative media attention (not enough content, game is not finished).
Just to throw in an open Beta a few weaks before release with more content and more stuff to test and tease us Gamers even more. After that the Media will go crazy and adore how good the game actually is.Any publicity is good publicity.

It'll last. It's a huge canvass that Rare have created. The possibilities are huge. They are well on it too.
As long as they keep on releasing new and juicy content, players will stay interested. Look at how well a game like Fortnite is doing. Different game altogether I know, but the principle is that you can keep interest going with good quality content.I feel that Rare will do well with this.
@thesquidfish Well now, it wouldn't be an issue if Rare would just tell us what to expect. This secrecy is hurting the game already.
@xshadovvhunterx said in Thoughts about Sea of Thrives dying and no long lasting content!:
@killingcurse1 I think people should wait and see what the full game will hold and not judge it on the 20% offered in a closed beta.
Along with the 2-3 years of support and development that Rare will be doing after the initial release of the game. I'm entirely confident that Sea of Thieves will be a frequently played game for me, over the next year or two. I'm very excited to see what Rare has to offer in the future!

@faramous there is a ton of customization to fortnight though...that's apples and oranges
There's a lot of customisation in this game too. It's purely the point about content release that rings aloud here.
@faramous only visual customization. Theres actual gameplay customization in fortnite. Every game out has cosmetic custimization

Are you referring to the custom games in Fortnite? There aren't any "stat" changing customisation options in Fortnite that you can use to change the power, speed or other variables to gain advantage or customise your character.
