Even though the set is consider somewhat "rare" i will love for rare to bring them back to twitch drops, The ship set, weapon sets and cosmetic items. I wonder if rare has plans to reintroduce some of their old items in game>?
Plans to bring back Obsidian set
https://www.seaofthieves.com/prime-gaming or utilize this for that. We didn't have any drops for probably over a year now if not more.
You can still get the Obsidian 6pack and capstan by winning the forum's screenshot competition. You just can't get it from Partners anymore.

I know why they did that for them but I think they should just put it in the damn outpost shops at this point.
It is a time limited promotional set and the best way to get back at those trying to sell their codes online? Put the set in the game for gold.
@personalc0ffee exactly but as soon as we are discussing this they come out with this https://twitter.com/SeaOfThieves/status/1661054492710715392?s=20

That was just a coincidence. Those kind of marketing deals are done months, if not years in advance and are usually negotiable contracts.
I never liked the effects of the giveaways on the community, pads engagement stats but creates negatives in the community imo. Leads content creators to be dependent on artificial interest and leads cosmetic chasers into stressful pursuits. Lots of clashing between provider and consumer in these scenarios.
I'm alright with people getting a decent chance to get this stuff.
It was always a giveaway, this just helps out people without connections and I'm always gonna support that.
@personalc0ffee oh 100% but its crazy to think that they are actually reintroducing some limited items back around.
@wolfmanbush I agree, it sucks for the Partners as most likely they will have a higher spike in viewership alone is just because they are doing a giveaway. I wonder how consistent the viewership is after the giveaway.

The top is always going to benefit but for the rest it is weakening the foundation of their already turbulent voyage. People can sail on it for a while but it's not sustainable for most.
It also creates a cycle of dream shattering because it leads people to thinking if they get there it will make everything better but it just creates more stress for a few perks. That stress is relevant to the game because it effects the community that is participating in the content and those that are trying to chase the cosmetics in those channels.
Personally I don't think it's ever been healthy for SoT. Understandable why they do it but I don't dig what it does to people.
