  • This should be fun :) I also like that Rare changed the gunpowder a bit.

    Wait, there is a way to join your friends without invite? HOW?????

    You add them through the xbox app, then go to their profile and you can just 'Join Sea of Thieves'. This has been abused in a few cases. Now you can lock your crew to make sure friends don't randomly join.

    So, I have to visit their profile? I can't from the friend's list? Maybe that's why I have never seen that option.

    Xbox app sucks :-/

    Just left-click on their name in your friends list. Visiting their profile isn't the biggest issue with the app, trust me haha.

    In my opinion the biggest isue is that left click -> 5 seconds after that appears the menu ¬¬ Probably they do a server petition every time you left click on a name. Something terrible.

  • @mithrillant I think they say replayability... because some of the commendations will require more effort to unlock possibly?.

    This appears to be different per player. I’m not sure what affects it, but my app loads really well while my crewmate’s app loads very slow. We have the same type of rig, his internet is faster than mine.

    Replayability ? It says you can earn to s maximum of 150 Doubloons. But ifyou spend them will you be able to go back to 150 or it is a total snd that's it?

    You can earn 150 by completing the event and earning the titles... you can earn an extra 50 doobles by going above and beyond and earning the legendary commendation/title.

    In order to do that legendary commendations we must be legendary? Or they it is just like an extra quest?

  • @musicmee said in Patch Notes Discussion - 1.1.4:

    Wooo hoooo!

    The bone weapons look awesome!

    The Bone sword looks so gnarly, i need it! In fact they are all really cool!
    SHUT UP AND TAKE MY DUBLOONS!!!

  • @guepard4 Nope, they legendary commendations will be open to all! But you have to put a 'legendary' amount of effort into them to unlock them!

    To show how much effort you put in they will be worth more.

  • Digging up treasure is going to be a lot more interesting now. On higher level voyages, quite often skeletons will spawn when you first dig with the shovel.

    With the new Gunpowder Skeletons, I'll do one dig, then leg it back to my ship for fear of being blown up!!!

    On the plus side Gunpowder Skeletons will make doing Order of Souls voyages easier in some ways, as they can take out their buddies :-)

    Also I'm not going to park close to shore anymore, as a gunpowder skele in the water near my boat isn't going to be good :-(

    Fuses sound cool, as we can now board an enemy boat, run downstairs, light the fuse on the way down, drop it and watch as the enemy pirates chase me, but then get blown up, whilst I'm at a safe distance :-)

  • @sshteeve said in Patch Notes Discussion - 1.1.4:

    Ships rocking when a keg explodes is going to be a game changer!

    This is so true. The crew I play with, we tend/prefer to keep anchor raised (like many others do). With all these booms going on it's going to be interesting to see how this'll inevitably affect this particular way we play.

  • Explosive skeles!! Can't wait!!!!!

  • Will we get our experience back from the booster packs we bought before the patch

  • @stacky-a A certain Mr @Tartansnake-8 may have found his explosive match?

  • A bit disappointed there’s no mention of the banjo kazooie figurehead though. It’s the games 20th anniversary this week after all. 😢

    Edit: aha! Sounds like it is making an appearance in next weeks patch.

    Keep it up Rare! ❤️

  • Oh, this is awesome! I can't wait to go on the seas and KABOOM! my way through these Commendations! I sense that I will love the fuse mechanic... it's itching my rat nerve!

  • Awesome!! Can't wait for my gf to comr home so we can play

    I guess it's just some grindy commendation like "kill 100 gunpowder skeletons with your saber" or something like that.

    You can earn 100 Commendations, and an extra 50 by completing the Legendary Commendations.

    This is correct. The Legendary Commendations will take a longer period of time and require a little bit more effort to unlock than the other Commendations.

  • @musicmee Look at that fancy title under your name there. Been busy and havent been on the forums in a few days. Gtag change from CAPNRogueBeard. BoatSwain? what is this for?

  • @musicmee Haha! with lighting the fuse now added I am expecting he will continue to be a menace.

    Rare does not care about their old IPs aside from their existence. Why do you think they aren't doing the work on Conker, Battletoads, Killer Instinct? The Rare Replay team was supposedly ten people out of a studio of 200. Shows how little interest there is and it should not come as a surprise. Most of the people at Rare today are not from the old days. It's not their games. They want to make their own name, which is fair.

  • @rogue-x-nerd Cheers matey!

    It's a small group of us who are positive, helpful members of the community. You can find out more below:

  • I wonder if 5 seconds gives you long enough to clear the blast radius if you drop a lit keg from the back of a ship at full billow?

    Lots of new and interesting tactics.

  • @khaleesibot errmmm....no one has posted it yet sooooo.....

    😳

    didn't realise the thumbnail they had gone with.... I'll just not embed it 😳 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llyiQ4I-mcQ

  • @ant-heuser-kush said in Patch Notes Discussion - 1.1.4:

    @khaleesibot Oaky. I got confused. It says up to 150 and then and earn an extra 50.

    It's okay, that's why I'm here to clarify. I'll make sure that in the future it's clearer.
    The total you can get by completing all the Commendations is 150, that last 50 is the Legendary Commendations, and they're just a little bit more challenging!

  • Confused. If the skeleton thrones/commendations are staying permanently. Do you still receive doubloons for doing any that you didn’t complete during last event?

  • @triheadedmonkey Blimey!
    That preview is slightly NSFW!

  • Time to blow something up!

    nice addition and glad to see new weapons and cosmetics being added in. And finally some more legendary stuff to do!!

  • Time to blow something up!

  • @quarbani Ahoy matey!

    The doobles have gone, but the commendations and titles remain. So you do still have a reason to go out there and complete the older quests. But, if you need to earn more doobles you will have to do so via the active quest (Gunpowder Skeletons).

  • @musicmee said in Patch Notes Discussion - 1.1.4:

    Wooo hoooo!

    This event is going to be explosive! I love it.

    Some awesome bug fixes too.. you guys and gals never fail to deliver.

    The bone weapons look awesome!

    Would be awesome if they shoot small bones instead of bullets!

  • @sshteeve yeah...swift editing occurred....

  • I was tempted to go with the Outhere Brothers....but remembered the lyrics are completely filthy haha

    perhaps The Fresh Prince was the way to go after all.....

  • I'm blown away by this event! 😃 Can't wait start downloading the patch and get busy

  • @murkrage said in Patch Notes Discussion - 1.1.4:

    @musicmee

    Have you seen this?!

    Skeleton kegs

    This shot feels like a bad idea.
