The Sea of Thieves that was launched in 2017 has nothing to do with the one today.
Sea Of Thieves is undoubtedly one of the most played on Xbox, according to statistics published by Xbox in recent years. Some six years after its release, Rare continued to add new content which brought back many players, like in my case. However, the title of pirates always had frustrating quality of life issues this made it hard to enjoy, something they’ve now fixed with the latest updates released.
Improve game quality of life
With curiosity, lucid gamesdevelopers of ports of important sagas like GTA, They now work for Rare and Xbox and concentrated in improving the quality of life in Sea Of Thieves. Well, we can say that so far they have done a great job. One thing that I’ve always found very frustrating about the game is that if you lost quest items when your ship sank, you might lose the hours of progress it took you to get those items, which can take up to 1 or 2 hours. Items are no longer lost as you can load at the checkpoint and they will appear on the captain’s table.
Another frustration that many have always had with the game it was the time it took to stock up before embarking on a trip. This has been fixed in several ways. The first is storage boxes which can be purchased for a small amount of gold from the Merchant Alliance. This allows you to quickly scavenge supplies from barrels at outposts.
Another way to improving the quality of life was the upgrading of the captaincy, which lets you buy your own boat, decorate it with all sorts of items, and give it a name. They cost hundreds of thousands of gold, so if you’re just starting out or have already spent a fortune, it might take a while, But it’s worth it.
The Captain’s Voyagesanother novelty, are missions that can also be purchased and that bring more money than normal trips, allowing us to obtain unique ship parts that you can buy or unlock by upgrading your ship. This is another of the issues players have always had with Sea Of Thieves: the feeling of progress. You can upgrade your ship by completing a wide range of challenges, such as the number of treasures collected, the amount of gold you have earned, and more. Having your own ship to name and decorate as you see fit gives something much more tangible, letting you feel that progress is being made and that the effort is worth it.
New players also have their space
If you’re new to Sea Of Thieves, or if you’re a player who hasn’t played in a while, I recommend you choose Maiden Voyage first in the main menu. This will take you to a tutorial mission with a fairly short story which will teach you the ins and outs of the game. I also recommend that you do pirate life, a much longer story based on the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean movies. It is a solo or cooperative story that will give us much more practice before launching into the full game. will provide you a complete tutorial that will be very useful to you before embarking on the Adventure mode.
There are, of course, other new mission types you can navigate to: Fortresses and Sanctuaries. The first are the horde mode of the game, in which you fight waves of ghost pirates in a large fortress, which ends with a battle against the captain of his undead fleet. By defeating them, you get the key to the treasure. They are not too difficult even for solo players or players who have only been playing for a short time. There is also loot everywhere, as well as another hidden key to the other treasure room at the very top of the fortress.
Shrines are pure puzzlesunderwater areas that require pulling certain levers on the wall, stepping on buttons on the floor, lighting torches or placing mermaid statues in a certain way, using visual clues that must be deciphered.
Another thing is that now the enemies they drop ammo all the timewhich is another quality of life improvement that was very frustrating, as you had to go back and forth to the ship or the ammo box somewhere on the island to get more ammo, which was very annoying. There are also ammo boxes you can pick up and take with you..
conclusions
I hope this article will encourage you to try Sea Of Thieves.Either for the first time, or if you are coming back after being frustrated with some of the quality of life issues I talked about that have now been resolved. One last thing I will say is that if you are put off by the fact that it is a multiplayer game with other playerswho might want to play against you, don’t as it’s quite rare to encounter other players and you can still have hours of fun alone or in co-op with friends.
