The winds are all the time altering, which is particularly true in Sea Of Thieves the place they all the time appear to be blowing proper into your face as a substitute of the route you’re making an attempt to sail. Rare have posted a video explaining some new pirate options coming later this month in larger element. Your crewmates will be capable to revive you if you drop to zero well being as a substitute of heading straight to the Ferry of the Damned and Rare have a brand new system for making it simpler to maintain observe of your mates as effectively.
The largest bit in right now’s new video is the revival system for crewmates. Losing all of your well being will now put you in a downed state for 15 seconds throughout which a crewmate or alliance member will likely be ready that can assist you again up. Solo sloop sailors received’t have anybody to revive them in fact, although they’ll spend much less time ready round on the Ferry Of The Damned as compensation.
Inside the Arena, crewmates may have about 10 seconds longer than in Adventure mode to revive an ally. Arena gamers may also be getting a timeout in the event that they give up too many matches in too brief a time as a result of pirates are recognized for his or her sporting conduct, proper?
In addition to the brand new crew revival system, Rare are additionally making some attention-grabbing high quality of life adjustments to the excessive seas. Two new settings will likely be out there in your menu. One will present the stating areas in your map for every Tall Tale story quest that your crew is presently eligible to embark on. The different will allow you to see the gamertag and an icon to your crewmates from additional away than earlier than. They’ll be seen by obstacles as effectively, which is a fairly large change.
I’ll admit my most popular pirate accomplice and I’ve usually lamented that it’s laborious to seek out each other as soon as we get separated on massive islands. We’d theorized {that a} flare gun may be a enjoyable in-world device to assist us relocate however I suppose a brand new interface aspect may also get the job performed.
I do surprise how this jives with Sea Of Thieves’ present interfaces that are all largely skilled as in-world objects. Your map exists at a desk in your ship. Your quest logs are parchment and books that you just carry round. I really like the bodily presence of those different programs so it makes me only a bit unhappy and cautious to see Rare take an out-of-world resolution for these new parts. Ah effectively, again in my day and all, proper?
This all goes down when the Ships Of Fortune replace launches on April 22nd. If you hadn’t heard, there will be cats. I knew there was a superb motive I hadn’t succumbed to purchasing a chook or monkey pet but.
Sea Of Thieves will also be coming to Steam, although Rare reiterate in right now’s video that they’ve deliberately not set a date for that launch simply but to keep away from placing additional stress on their group whereas working from residence in the course of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.
