Game Pass Free Trial..

  • So, this is it 2 week are up on my free trial...

    Firstly, game pass is a great way to get people who wont get an xbox one (me) onto the platform and consumer friendly so bravo MS.

    Secondly, now that its up its up to Rare to convince me in to renewing my sub (this game isnt worth £50).

    Here is what I am hoping for to renew it is (think most people will think is rather lenient) :

    • A video posted on to your youtube video acknowledging the feedback you have been given. Everyone has had opinions and all of them are valid and should be discussed. The community is vocal and thriving and that should be rewarded many devs out there would kill for that sort of engagement. I recommend you look at Digital Extreme to see how they deal with their community as a good example of how it should be done.

    • In the video of a planned roadmap of what you are working on now and ETA's of updates, I'm hoping updates will range from small updates every week (small content such as cosmetics etc, bugs and balancing) medium every month or so ( medium updates such as quests etc) large updates every 3-4 months ( game changing stuff such as entire new sections of map etc.)

    This "games as service" idea will only work if you can convince us the gamers that you are going to provide a service worth supporting. You have said before launch you will keep communication with your players, we are here and waiting. now prove it. communicate.

    The ball is in your court Rare, now prove to everyone that we need not worry. please.

  • @aferretsfury if it was content updates every week, i'll be spending a good chunk of the week redownloading the 20GB game. =/

  • That is a large number of demands for someone who has not spent a single cent on the game.

    How about:

    • You pay money for either another month subscription to Gamepass (which is a great deal with other games and supports SoT) or you shell up 50 pounds to hear make your argument valid.

    *Allow the developers to take time to release information before trying to threaten them or blackmail them for your money. This game has been out for 14 days. They have posted 3 responses in that time fixing issues that the community has requested already and will have another maintenance session tomorrow for additional adjustments. I believe they will probably make another announcement tomorrow about what they did during the maintenance window.

    *Once all the major bugs are fixed, then they can start communicating a roadmap and future development strategies. Until then, fix what is broken and not what is missing.

    The ball is now in your court. Put up the cash or keep quiet until you buy in.

    It has been said again and again: Redownloading everything was a one-time decision to get the update out. Everything else will just be patches.

  • Lol [mod edited], this is pathetic

    updates just add the extra to the original file you dont need to redownload the entire game

    What is your problem?

    Just so you know Rare/MS don't care about you if you have already bought in they already have YOUR money why would they?

    So no I won't keep quiet, no I wont buy in until they make a product worth buying and the ball is still firmly in Rares court.

    P.S you make a terrible umpire. ;)

  • So now we're in the generation where you have to pay before being able to criticize something, even if you've played the same amount or more time than others. We are the consumers, they are supposed to give us the desire to play.
    Also stop the [mod edited] "give them time", you keep using this argument since beta.

    He's clearly in his rights to ask an act of good faith from the devs before spending his money in an empty shell.

    what part, the bit where I told a company to communicate to its community?

    Please, do explain. You totally seem like the kind of person that can handle a civil discussion with someone who has a different opinion =/

  • @aferretsfury I'm c*****d a majority of the game pass free loaders are now gone, quieter seas and less people who think this is team death match in ships.

  • @aferretsfury Here you go:

    News 3.28
    Video 3.27
    News 3.27
    Video 3.21

    All this communication has been since launch. This is also not even covering what was on Twitter AND there was a Holiday over the weekend which was a 3-4 day holiday depending on your country.

    So being realistic do they care about me since I am brought in, probably not, but do you think they care about you? Someone who obviously won't spend 50 pounds and is debating even supporting the game with gamepass? I have a better chance at being heard because I am already invested.

    You have the opportunity to buy in, but you are getting something for free at this time, so your threats are idle. I posted the links above because they are telling you and showing you their behaviors as developers. I put more faith in those than the request you made.

  • @nightmare247365 You can't negotiate demands if you already give them what they want. You don't buy an opinion about something , they have to show me what the offer is and then I'll decide if I am willing to spend the money.

  • @aferretsfury the part where you were too lazy to spend the 10 seconds it would have taken to see how much they HAVE communicated with the community, but instead made this stupid post demanding things from a game you have contributed zero to. Get over yourself and go play something else.

  • @nightmare247365
    Thank you for your post. It's getting pretty old seeing every other part demanding Rare provide developer updates when they have been about every 4 or 5 days. Even more often if you follow their Twitter. I wish people would take 2 minutes to find that information instead of taking 10 minutes whining and demanding something that already exists!

    I'll say this though, when you look at all these dumb posts from a different angle and don't let it bum you out, it's a great place to go get some comedy! I've basically just stopped trying to reason with supidity and have just started laughing at it instead!


    To those that don't enjoy the game: Cool, let your gamepass expire and leave the seas. I'm amped for the servers to be filled with people that actually want to play instead of a bunch of whiners using their 2 week free trial.

    I don't mind the valid criticisms for this game, don't get me wrong. It's far from perfect. But when people are whining for things that already exist, such as developer updates, it's just terribly annoying. I'm sorry the game wasn't for you and that you didn't see that the thing you're looking for was right there all along. Perhaps in the future you might reconsider the game and it'll be more apealing to you then. Perhaps not. But, until that does or doesn't happen, you'll likely not be missed! I wish you the best of luck in finding a game that caters specifically to your every need! Good luck and have fun complaining in the next forum of whatever poor game gets your attention!

    Players are content, so yes lets be happy that even more content goes missing because it so happens to be the bit I dont like...

    Heres a better solution to that problem, Rare add more to the game more interesting quests etc. So that players have more to do than be hostile.

    So the links you provided are non-information:

    "we are looking at bugs" i should hope so.

    "we acknowledge problems with brig abuse" ok...

    "lack of content we will announce something soon" In a week, month year?

    How does that answer anything I asked?

    so 2xnews posts providing nothing and 2xvideos saying the same thing?

    Rare might be on holiday do you know for sure that no one is/was working over the holiday period? if so prove it.

    They care about potential buyers more than the people that have already bought in. No, they don't care about me on a personal level that would be ridiculous, they don't even know me. I said its not worth £50 didnt say it wouldnt be worth it in the future.

    So you put faith in developers posting up some news post and videos, more than someone asking for the developer to post and put up videos giving us more about whats going on and the future of the game?

  • @nightmare247365 Here's the thing: Criticism isn't a matter of how much money you spend, we all played the same game free or not. He can say he doesn't think it's worth the purchase or renewal, unless you mean to imply you will get more out of the experience by spending more money which would be absurd in my book.

  • @hyr0-the-pyr0 Please, could you point to me the bit where I said that I didn't like the game?

    Hint: Not wanting to purchase a game until some concerns are put to rest, doesn't mean the person doesn't like the game. That's just being a sensible consumer. You'll understand when you get a job.

    If you are enjoying the game, great! I'm glad you're enjoying it! But based on your post it sure sounds like you weren't. Truly my fault for assuming and for that I apologize.

    I truly hate to break it to you but I am not a kid. I'm 33 and make a very comfortable living. Don't get me wrong, I am by no means rich, but I am far from struggling. I never said you weren't sensible, I was just complimenting the poster that posted the links to the news updates that you claimed the developers weren't making. Then said that if someone desires that information they could take a few minutes of poking around to easily find it instead of whining about the thing that exists not existing.

    I do appreciate your attempt at coming at me, it truly brings me joy that my post meant enough to you to warrant a response. However, it doesn't change the fact that you're demanding something and whining that it doesn't exist when it, in fact does. Again, you're free to not renew your gamepass and never play the game again. That's your choice and I hope you enjoy whatever game you move onto next to whine about.

  • I just bought a car, imagine what that entitles me to!!!! LOL.
    Its just a small amount of money for so much pleasure, I still don't see why everyone continues to be so god dammed entitled. If your finished with the game, move on, the seas are a better place without dirty sea men everywhere!!!

  • The two week free trial of game pass was a brilliant way for me to try out the game, still haven't decided to continue now it has lapsed (turned off auto renew), will keep an eye out for any news as to what will be added to the game and will occasionally go in game to see too.
