Sea of Thieves Official Podcast Storytelling Special: Season 16, Flameheart and Evolving Approaches

"Ohfahchial"

Imagine a Raid Voyage where you dive to a Raid location SOMEONE ELSE is already doing. Like you literally Raid someone else's Sea Fort or Sunken Treasury.

Meh. I like pvp but for some things lore related, I think something like a tall tale would have worked better.

Absolutely loving this renewed focus on lore. Could not be more excited for what Season 16 and beyond will bring us! Plus the mention...you all love making me cry, don't you? Appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. This game and its community are truly special ❤‍🔥

Meanwhile Ramsey in the Athena hideout: 😴

Guys! I really love your game and spend a lot of time in it, I have a big request to you! Please make a skin on the pet fox with a heart in his chest! Under the fire curse. Please! I will give any money for it!

With all the server issues and limitations of the current tech stack; why not build a second world alongside the Sea of Thieves? Allow players to jump between the two worlds but include an arc that the world as we know it is deteriorating and will eventually cease to exist.

I am quite disappointed in how storytelling has been handled as of late, one example being the Briggsy and Tasha storyline which at the end of Adventure 11 had teased us potentially going to this "temple" mentioned and me being a massive fan dungeon and tomb exploration stuff like Zelda, Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones got me really excited to see what this temple had to offer like what puzzles and traps that would be there and what this "monster" could be.

After Adventures discontinued, I was slightly saddened but still held up hope on seeing this temple in a TallTale or something but instead the storyline was resolved by Briggsy using the Burning Blade Cutlass to cure Tasha, something that one only finds out by speaking to Tasha. To say I was disappointed was an understatement as the way it ended honestly felt like a cop-out and I was really excited to see what this temple was about but now we're likely never going to see what secrets it hides since the dialogue with Briggsy implies the Dark Brethren now have other plans.

I do hope we get to see this Temple one day, goodness me do I need a good ol tomb raiding adventure again.

so now you have to put down a voyage to go get a reaper mark chest oh boy

Please fix the bugs that have been in the game since launch and newer, why after 7 years am I still getting infinite black screens when respawning or diving to locations? Why are megs still flipping my boat upside down? Why does repairing my ship at the shipwright still not work? Why are player ships still respawning 2 islands away from you so they can come back for the 5th time? Need I say more? Please rare, content is cool but please fix the game. If “Getting Rared” is a phrase in the community, you have to know it’s a problem.

Rare excuse me but when are you putting Athena stuff there has been no content for Athena since the veil 3 yrs ago .reapers have had 2 things put into game in the resent updates the burning blade now this what about Athena they should both be equal in my opinion please think about it and add more Athena content have a wonderful week

RARE Thank You for letting Cap'n Falcore do the lore video for Flameheart 🙌

rare when are you going to fix I don't know if it's a bug or intentional I've seen a few streams where people do it when you're flying reapers emissary and you kill an island captain and you dig up the orders he dropped that immediately lvls up reapers all the the way to grade 4 if that can be done with reapers emissary then all other factions should be able to do it as well including Athena so it can be fair to all factions is that ever going to get fixed?

MY THEORY WAS RIGHT!!!!
THERE WERE GOING TO BE REAPER VOYAGES!!!!
MAYBE BOUNTY HUNTING TOO???

can falcore leak insiders faster than the devs reveal what is coming next?

Sounds like you guys need a bigger budget

Would it be so hard to implement the old Adventures in a Tell tale? I mean, one of this where you got to another server... I would love to see the reaper´s hideout island the way it used to be.
Thanks for listening the players and work on the lore!

Crank your screen brightness for this one fellas, they like it dark

I absolutely don't care about the lore in this game, sorry. The game is a sandbox open world where you do activities, people don't launch the game for the scenario/lore. I'm sure that 90% or 95% would rather get new quests, new points of interest, new islands... rather than new lore. Especially for the emo/cringe reapers faction.

i honestly really want flameheart to win id hate to see him die again and never come back if it does come down to it ill give it everything i got to make sure lord flameheart succeeds HAIL LORD FLAMEHEART

So adventures are coming back to season 16? Hopefully not....

Will reaper hideout finally get harpoon

PLZ BRING THE ADVENTURES BACK THROUGH TALL TALES! So many of my friends are missing lore bc of this

mutinous mel mention !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flameheart be like: i am reinforcing what are you doing so called pirate lord?

Ramsey ashamed: sitting in my chair :(

I’m skeptical about all this lore talk, don’t get me wrong I’d love for lore to take more center stage like it once did but after the last 2 years I don’t believe it’s what this game is about. Prove me wrong.

Did the last update break Dolby Atmos on PS5? No sound from height channels. (I have 5.1.4 speaker setup). Worked fine before and works fine in Forza Horizon 5, CoD 6, Helldivers 2, Crew Motorfest etc... etc.

Omg, the grand maritime union!
SEA OF THIEVES IS BEING ATTACKED BY THE BRITISH

Great chat; thank you. Still hoping for private guild islands where we can come together, change out boats (and keep the supplies) decorate, and see all the fancy ships at the dock or moored in the bay.

بازی خیلی قشنگ شد ولی چیتر ها زیاد هستن لطفاً برسی کنید

بازی

This episode was really fun! I wish the seas were on PlayStation sooner!!

I miss Drew.

So staying in the theme of freedom and escaping and not being controlled, when can we use our captained ships in Safer Seas?

With all Mike’s “groups” I’m waiting for the Sovereign to be revealed as the true villainy on the Sea of Thieves.

Keen to see story make a comeback! Adventures were fun and I love the 'i was there' aspect of updates and seasons, but being able to hop on with friends and go through a full story like the tall tales can't be beat :o even if past stuff gets relegated to tall tales in the SotD or safer seas

Adventures were the worst part in this games history, followed by the removal of the arena, hourglass is trash.

Lore's been dead since S8. Decision Points are WHY I bought this game.

Wow world building! Can’t wait to see the servant of the flame move 4 feet to the left!

❤ can hear Mike passion about who is flameheart in the passion of his heart.

Rare, can u fix the new megs with ur next bug patch. I was fighting red maw yesterday and it flipped our ship twice. One time it stayed flipped for over 2 minutes and we came close to sinking.

Every time he hits the table, it is like horrendous bass in my ears.

Wish we had a SOT movie

spoiler for you all: we will see the past of the sea of ​​thieves, the origins of this place and along the way the navy will find the sea of ​​thieves to hunt down pirates

Increase ur server size. it's boring af sailing with zero interactions

Listen I love this game and it’s lore, but I’m deeply struggling to find any interesting story or lore in the latest Season 16. I really pray that they’re referring to the far future here by implying there will be a lot of story to dig into.

I remember the days when Sea of Thieves had a palpable sense of discovery within the community. From 2020-2022 you would hear constant speculation from people who actually had stuff to talk about. Big new developments. Character turns. Intrigue.

There is almost none of that now. Even updates where story is claimed to be a focus like S16 have little to show for it. Who are the Order of B&B *really*? Dunno. Why is Flameheart after this banished ancient? Dunno. Guess we’ll find out in a text box a year from now.

I really miss caring about the stakes of this world.

I have a nice respawn “sleeping bag” idea, how to make it happen well yall creators will figure it out

pls bring back tall tales, that was the perfect story telling thing and permanent, nothing exited me more in this game. If you do temporal stories, people that cound't see then lost a lot
