Planning Ahead for April Fool's Day

My idea for a number of years has been that they should release the Day One build of Sea of Thieves - the game as it was at launch.

Disable to ability to defuse kegs that one guy at every skullfort is gonna have a fun surprise.

They'd be getting lawsuits from parents for having alcohol in their kid's game, so they'd just decide to remove grog from the game

I mean, to be fair alcohol is not mentioned in the age rating for the game soooo... ;)

(and no, your reference has not gone over my head)

Have the shrouded ghost spawn only to have it immediately despawn.

I agree, Just for the joke

Flame heart it’s muted but his voice becomes more lower pitch XD

I don't know how feasible this is, but this would be awesome.

Even if they couldn't actually release the build itself, a trailer for April Fools' Day would be hilarious. They could list all the things they are "removing" to streamline the game...

"Pirates don't need 5 types of fruit and meat, so we've simplified their lives with just bananas!"

"We've made the lowly normal fort even more valuable... by removing all other world events! Gaze upon the unspoiled skies as you wait 3 hours between skull clouds!"

"But don't worry about the lack of gold, there are less cosmetics to buy! You can't waste money on a new capstan, wheel, or cannons, if there's no customisation for them!"

"With only one quest type for merchants, you'll get through those animal deliveries in no-time!"

The first time a player sets sail a shrouded ghost spawns and instantly despawns not giving you enough time to kill it.

I still stand for a release of the pre-alpha build of the game. I want to play as those bean characters and use the poking stick to harass people.

Islands spawned in random locations, per server.

...when I first played the beta, I thought that's how the game was going to be.

I've been wanting this for April Fools, since back then. I even emailed Rare about it. lol
