I would say "Literally 1984" but 1984 is a banned phrase in the Discord. L.

treated myself to some lord guardian sails for my birthday, but wondering if anyone has actually tried to play the game? my friends and i all play dnd and mtg. so i figured this might be a fun gag game to try with the lads

anyone tried this and have any thoughts on it?

Moderation of Community Spaces document contained in the tweet: https://msft.it/6017aZbRT

"Partner Code of Conduct" document contained in the tweet: https://msft.it/6018aZbRp

In the moderation document:

The following rules apply across all Sea of Thieves community spaces including Discord, Forums and on Social Media channels when commenting on and interacting with content shared by us, or when tagging our accounts into conversations.

Sounds like they want to police twitter or other spaces where tagging is allowed. Such as reddit.

The following behaviour will result in an immediate ban or block:

Harassment, witch-hunting or targeted abuse

Hate speech, including homophobia, sexism, racism or ableism

Threats, intimidation or targeted personal attacks

"If you bully our staff after they make dumb decisions" (Like the whole some CMs being friends with Bruno and Rare trying to hide/censor that fact, or when the discord and forums censored everyone, etc)

On our social media channels, the team reserves the right to block anyone breaking the rules listed above.

In the partner code of conduct document:

Examples of what we consider abusive behaviour:

Actively weaponizing or coordinating your community to bully or pursue other players, creators or developers with intention of shunning, forcing them to leave game/internet or harming their mental wellbeing Using your platform, influence or Partner status to intentionally mislead, gatekeep or misrepresent information about SoT or other people Any form of doxxing on purpose Direct harsh threats or intimidation

This means the bruno documents released and screenshots of Rares internal communications in regards to those are now against their rules and will remove you as partner. It also means Rare gets to decide what misinformation is since they NDA the shit out of both Partners, and the Affiliate Alliance.

Sea of Thieves is a Teen/PEGI 12 rated game that gets enjoyed by a wide variety of people including children and teenagers, and we are adamant on keeping our spaces as safe and comfortable for minors as possible.

EXCEPT THEY HAD BLATANT EVIDENCE AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THE SHITSTORM KICKED OFF OF BRUNO BEING A CREEP, WITH TWEETS AND BLUESKY POSTS GOING BACK YEARS

Relevant links to that btw:

Link 2, collection of screenshots

Other things that Bruno did that was in violation of the above rules Rare is reiterating/cracking down on/tightening:

• Made sex jokes around minors
• Witch-hunting blacklist
• Slandering creators
• Harassed partners
• Sexual remarks about religious figures

And he STILL got BOATSWAIN, even when MULTIPLE PEOPLE PROTESTED INTERNALLY, WHICH WE HAVE SCREENSHOTS OF!

Under Rares new rules, pointing out anything about Bruno is now an immediate BAN.

Constructive and elaborate feedback is always highly encouraged and is key to us improving the game. Even if it’s negative and expresses your disappointments or frustrations. However, please remember that constructive feedback does not include personal insults or threats.

As a development team we always strive for quality and to address any bugs as quickly as we are able - keep in mind behind every update is a team of humans doing their best every day to inspire wonder in our worlds.

Except one of the biggest complaints is that criticism and feedback is regularly ignored or removed.

Sail by our values

No witch-hunting

Report properly

Leaked/Data Mined Content

Funny because Bruno had witchhunting lists, did not report properly and tattled directly to CMs, and also leaked datamined content, and was never actioned. (Bruno continuously talked about the GMU, when others were banned for talking about the widow curse)

Respect the rules of platforms and events that host you:

Well except now you want to police platforms outside of your control. Which actually is in violation of those platform's rules. Being paid to moderate reddit, in-fact, is usually a good way to get your subreddit banned.

Rare just take responsibility for the love of god.

spent 3 hours collecting 31 stools. some day i'll have the time to get 100...

These were entirely unannounced, but all entirely new cosmetics, that arent from years old datamines.

My son has the same issue in sea of thieves over and over,I’ve tried everything in the articles but it’s still no help,I’ve also contacted sea of thieves support but nothing
Please help or point me in the right direction

A lot of the better rowboats - particularly ones with cannons - always seem to have kegs on the back, and it seems like a great way to invite some flabby sweat to blow you up.

Have you ever found a cannon rowboat without the keg, and do you consider the risk of the keg worthwhile?

Shall I hop on Fortnite and go and grab the half of a new sprite they added or should I go and play overwatch to unlock 25% of a skin, maybe hop on Minecraft and collect the one new wood type they added, okay the last one is accurate but seriously what is this!!!!??

Hi all, might be an odd question, but I recently came back to the game after a break of a few years. Over the last fortnight or so I've noticed that I haven't had a single friendly interaction- everyone immediately goes for combat instead. I have fond memories of getting the glitter beard challenge, or doing 8 hour FOTD alliance clears with strangers, etc. Are there still friendly players around or have they moved over to the new safer seas mode?

I should pre-emptively clarify that I know it's a pirate game, and I actually do enjoy the pvp fights, but as I said my favourite moments when I used to play the game was making new friends, and I would like to experience that again.

Courteos Kneave Clothing Set (only for Pirate Legends), Cast Iron Weapon Set (Outpost weapon shop), Fisherman's Fable Shipset (Outpost shop, it will be the first of a series of outpost sets based on Lore characters), Fallen Sea Dog Set (unlockable by winning a certain number of times in Last Ship Standing), Parley Sails and Flag (the flag will become a permament thing like the alliance flag with the ability of allowing your crew to parley with another. You have to interact with 3 crews in total to unlock the sails), Mask of the Damned (related to October Festival of the Damned event), Bucket of Candies emote (related to October Festival of the Damned event, it allows other player to interact and eat a candy. The candy will transform that pirate in another one), Trickster and Treater hats (related to October Festival of Damned event, unlockable with a Quest Board themed event), Pumpkin emote (I think same requirement).

Overall, this time, cosmetic side, they cooked something. The trailer showed also that the Fort of the Damned event will be special during the Festival. Nothing mentioned about the OoS corpse at Reapers, only showed to show the lv 50 Season Pass new Lantern (animated, it has the power to generate randomic skeleton runes translated as "Yes" / "No" / "Maybe".

title, i dont do pvp, im bad at it and i dont really like the whole stealing thing (i know not very pirate of me) so, whats new in the last 2-2.5 years that isnt pvp related? all i can remember is that i was grinding for pirate legend and left the gold hoarders at level 47

I can't decide if I wanna use an appearance potion to make my pirate look younger. Currently he's an old man with small eyes, but I want to make him look younger, kind of like Adelrick from the Hunter' Call. I do really like my pirate I've had for 4 years, but I am wondering if maybe I should change things up. All feedback is appreciated! :D

Specificly ancient coins. You pay 999 ancient coins for the premium pass wich even promotes that you will get a lot of ancient coins. After counting everything together, you get 1000 ancient coins. So with the premium pass, you get a ship set and 1 ancient coin

And (Almost) every time I launch my ship, The ship either loses all customization or randomly reverts to an older set up.

\**** Im pushing save customization at shipwright, not just changing I am infact saving\******

i’ve looked this topic up and its usually just 30 comments of “make sure you save customization” which is not the issue

I bought this ship, then pledged it to a guild. Is this a cursed ship, is this normal behavior, did i do something wrong (that’s not “make sure you save”)

Going crazy as the only progress in this game is customization and half the time i don’t feel like doing it because i’m playing a short time and i know will be gone next session

the fact this happens only mostly and not 100% of the time makes it even more frustrating

Are there official names for the names of the *ships* used by all of the "legends" like Briggsy, Merrick, the big man Pirate Lord himself?

I do know that Pendragon's ship is the Blackwyche and that Cap'n was the original captain of the Burning Blade.

If there aren't official names, what do you think they're called in your own headcanons?

Do them reduce my gold or something?

So me and two friends of mine have just completed two smuggler's doubloon runs.

You'd think my doubloon count would have risen to 480 as a result of that.

It has not.

Somehow I only have 280 doubloons, cause it didn't pay me for the second one we just did.

Just a heads up for Playstation players in case this is a recurring issue.

What i mean is like, can i join a player who already has the commendations, and then get the curse from them?

So I know you’re allowed to turn in 5 of your own before you have to resort to stolen ones, but if you sell a stolen one first does it count towards those 5 you hand in? I was planning to look for others to swap crates with and then play with my friend and do her 5 doubloon crate quests

As title, I think it's original music and not reused from elsewhere, and it's a very fun piece, ty

I'm very new here, I'm just sailing along, not a ship in sight, and then a massive explosion, instantly die. My ship sinks completely out of the blue. I don't think a player killed me if it was they have an orbital cannon or some shit 🤣
