I don't understand why safer seas even after the update can't just be a normal private server. It's really unfair, especially for normal people who work ridiculous hours and just want a couple hours of they're favourite pirate game while they have a chance to play. The amount of times I've had everything taken from me at the end of my session, it genuinely makes me hate the game. I can't even unlock all the really difficult stuff to unlock in safer seas which should be the point. It shouldn't be to help new players. It should be for fans that can't be bothered with toxic players ruining their limited time on the game. It's unfair on the fans and I'm uninstalling the game until I see a massive change. You've really let everyone down Rare. Having a uncapped safer seas would not impact the sweat lords at all, it would make for a more fair game. The sweats can PvP to their heats content on normal servers and everyone else, which there are a load of btw can play on a normal uncapped identical version of safer seas and the play the game with their precious time how they want to play it.
Just let people play the game how they want to play it!
@cpt-killmost Play something else that fits your play style instead of insisting Rare change their game. You bought a PvPvE Shared World Adventure Game (SWAG) and that means you’re gonna meet other players; it’s entirely in the nature of it.
The game design and intent for Sea of Thieves is a shared world adventure, and it always will be. Those who wish to play in the confines of Safer Seas will always have the option but we will not bring the rewards and activities in line with those of High Seas when many of the restrictions are in place due to the risk vs reward factor that is inherent in Sea of Thieves - removing any risk means rewards must be balanced accordingly.
Safer Seas will act not only as a safe space for our Tall Tale players but also for families with children who just want to pirate, for people who want to play the game but learn the ropes and it will organically feed into Adventure mode, keeping the player pool there healthy and upskilled as they've learned the mechanics.
This is not only useful for new players but also families and players with accessibility needs - the whole game suddenly becomes available in a way it hasn't before, letting them naturally progress to High Seas and become a Pirate Legend. SoT has grown a huge amount in 5 years and it can be fairly overwhelming.
The borders put in Safer Seas mean that to experience the full depth and breadth of the game you will have to hit the high seas BUT if you're playing with your family you don't have to, you can just enjoy the game and have fun as a family.
