Have you ever needed to simply lop off a skeleton’s head and use it as a flamethrower? It’s by no means even been a thought that’s crossed my thoughts, however Sea Of Thieves appear to be letting us do precisely that in subsequent week’s replace. They’re a part of the brand new Ashen Winds replace, which is arriving on Wednesday the 29th of July. Be cautious, although, utilizing up the flame inside your skelly head will make it value much less gold. Hm, cash? Or setting my associates on hearth? Now that’s a troublesome alternative.
Ashen Winds was presupposed to drop this week on July 22nd, however as a consequence of “technical issues” it was pushed again. This adopted some pretty rough server problems the game had over the weekend, which resulted in a great deal of gamers not receiving any gold, fame or progress for his or her pirating. Unfortunately, for anybody who performed between July 15th and July 21st, these rewards can’t be recovered in any respect. To make up for it, Rare are giving everybody who performed throughout that point 60,000 gold and 200 doubloons. It may not convey again your Tall Tale progress, however it could cushion the blow slightly.
Server dramas apart, we all know slightly bit about what to anticipate within the Ashen Winds replace because of final week’s Sea Of Thieves News episode. The game’s lead designer, Andrew Preston revealed the model new Ashen Winds cranium. This is a cranium you may promote to the Order Of Souls faction for rep and gold, or you may have way more enjoyable with it, and wield it as a flamethrower. It’s value noting that the extra hearth you spew from it, the much less it’ll be value. But who cares? I’m getting me a flamethrower.
These scorching new skulls are linked to a brand new “unique” occasion. We don’t know a lot about it but, aside from the very fact it most likely includes giant crimson tornadoes just like the one in Sea Of Thieves’ Tweet under. Odds are it’ll contain decapitating some skellys like most different encounters within the game, however I’m curious how they’ll make it stand out out of your typical skeleton forts and island scuffles.
