LOOKING FOR CREW?
Looking for new crewmates? We've got a bunch of places you can visit to seek out like-minded pirates, so sail on over to these official Sea of Thieves hangouts:
This is great progress but there needs to be further QOL updates. SOT still encourages toxic behavior and toxic gameplay and until thats addressed by the dev team its not going to stop. Just the other day I saw someone being quite toxic in game with name calling and hes reported but its quite clear Rare isnt doing enough to stem either toxic behavior.

Lol nobody "encourages" toxic behavior in or around the top brass of SOT
They allow pirates to be pirates through gameplay in no way do they encourage legitimate toxic behavior while playing
Most people whether gamers or developers do not want to see people engage in truly toxic behavior like racial stuff identity stuff and other personal attacks. Just because someone isn't banned that someone else wants banned doesn't mean they encourage or condone poor behavior while gaming
@glannigan I'm sure some of them are in 5th Grade, and I'm sure many of them act like it on the seas.
@jaoseaking I think one of the main issues is that there are so many variables in game to account for. You have 2 players on different ships, bobbing about in the sea, each player has a different machines and a different internet connections Firing single fire weapons from different ranges, whilst jumping around. Then sometimes you might have someone who is on water and one that is on land. This could again complicate it slightly more. As with all games development and testing, things take time to iron out and be tested properly. Throw COVID in the mix and Rare working from home and I'm astounded they've provided the amazing FREE content they have this year. They'll get it fixed in the end it will just take a little more time.
