"Because that's how the developers designed the game? Because they wanted to make something different from all the other games with same progress saving mechanics I guess? Why make everything the same?"
it's not different,it's just mean MISS a feature.
And if people NOT WANT to save the status of the resource in other games too, they can do too just never go to the bank\spaceport\shipport and not save the status,there is nothing different in this,you can't make people think "miss a feature" is something "different".
"People can play for any duration they like, and they can chose to plan and prepare their voyages as they wish."
No this is a lie,right now people can't do it,because if i still play sea of thieves,and i need to do pipi or drink water i can't do it because sot not have way to save resources or mission voyages etc. and if you do it you lose all,you lose your resources you lose the current status of your voyages lose all… and must restart all,and no one like this.
"If you don't want to stock up for an hour and head straight into adventure, it is entirely possible and viable. The only limitations you chose to impose yourself are your own.
Just give also to people want to play solo or enjoy the game in slow time too possible to do it!
Plenty of solo players have no issues whatsoever with planning and finishing voyages in the time they have on their hands, and have no issues stocking up their ship at the same time."
No you lie, is impossible to do it right now becausee the game has no save no pause and so if people must stop game is not possible to do it. no way to save resources or quest or anithing. just lose all
"Difference is nice, originality is nice. Not all games need to have the very same functions. If you don't enjoy session-based games, as you mention, there are millions of other games that allows you to save your progress in all details.
I enjoy Always session based games,i enjoy sea of thieves too,but the game miss save status mission voyage and savegames , and this is big problem and issue.
"People that are worried about community split keep being told that player numbers are on the rise and as high as ever, so I suppose that players that left for trivial issues such as progress save, save zones or PVE must not account for a lot of player now do they? It's a shame but if the game is not to their likings, there are other games that might be."
This we will see in future if this game will not have what happen.
"So following your logic, if there is a way to exploit or cheat in a way and you don't like it, you just don't have to use it but others should have the possibility to if they want! Makes perfect sense."
Exploit or Cheat game is TOXIC\BAD and make any game be unuseful and broken,and i totally disagree this.
Save game status or resources is not cheat or exploit,is a normal feature in all games of todays is on world of warcraft,in ultima online,in astroneer,in elite Dangerous and many other online multiplayer or session based games, is not exploit,is not cheat,it's just what humans\players need for play a game because people still have real life,must to drink water,do pipi',go shopping etc. and must have way to save what they do in the game.
You start play sea of thieves,you do 1 voyage of 3 in 20 minutes because you like to enjoy slow the game,then you feel pipi' or drink water,you can't do it because if you do you lose 2 last voyage because someone sink your ship or any other reason
You start play sea of thieves,you put 20 cannon ball on your ship,you put 5 banana on your ship,you put 5 wood plank in your ship with 10 minutes because you like enjoy wonderful world of sea of thieves and play it just relax etc.
then you must go work or must go school or must take care you or someone else and you can't save this you lose all u do (waste of time) only because there is no ship port or safe place for save resources in ship.
Would be better so if can save resources and voyages same in elite Dangerous same in astroneer same in world of warcraft same in ultima online and same in all other games too,because games must to have save and continue is how games work,if not is an issue\problem is the game BROKEN without it,and not with it.
This is what i say why is issue and problem of the game,not of the people.
You say the game would be broken if people add save\resource etc. but the game is broken now in this way and must to be fixed in this.
in the same way that you fix ship with wood plank,or then in the same way the ship sink , will sink this game too.
Because yes is "session based game" , but session base is mean active users online that they will come to CONTINUE your game,to continue the adventure they start, and not for just try it little time and then say goodbye to it.
