I'm thinking sea of thieves long run it would be nice too have offline sea of thieves I would pay for dlc for I want too be able too play in the future sea of thieves when servers one day decide too go offline and I'm able too play single player mode offline.
Single player offline sea of thieves.
@bluethunder1177 Hey Pirate !
This suggestion has been put in these forums multiple times before and generally nobody agrees. " Thinking long run " is keeping the game "alive" not taking away the live service part. Buyable DLC's just isn't Sea of Thieves fashion, a beauty of Sea of Thieves is you're able to go anywhere for any type of adventure and only paying with your time, not your money.
So no, this game should never go towards, Adventurous Capitalist or AFK Journey.
Safe Journeys
Fast forward 10 years, the planned story is wrapped up, the player base has dropped to a level keeping the servers running is not feasible.
-
That is a problem for Rare in 10 not now. Now they need to focus on bug fixes and new content so make certain the player base is the in 5 years time.
-
Of course in 10 there will be a final money grab of a DLC for all the old adventures and private servers for the die hard fans.

Speak for yourself, cause you're definitely not speaking for everyone, not even "generally" everyone. Far from it.@bluethunder1177 said in Single player offline sea of thieves.:

I'd love to see it down the road, at some point. Near the sunset of this game. Whenever that might be.
Sea of Thieves just isn't an offline game... If it were to happen they would have to change the game, hence not being Sea of Thieves anymore. Why would you want to ever experience it like that.
Maybe, just maybe we the players and the community keep the game alive and I hope it will survive forever (I obviously can see that it might not.), so this has a chance to become reality, of course everything has a possibility, but Offline Single Player is not Sea of Thieves. That's not an opinion, but a fact. I will always fight to keep these waters sailable together, rather than apart. The people who have this view point, seem to just want to see stuff on their screen, rather than experience it. Sounds a lot like AFK clickers.
Overall this just doesn't make sense, if we have 100's even 1000's still playing SoT, but just have this single player offline mode ? Why would we ever go offline to begin with ? I think we will have a steady player count for years to come, but people get bored of video games and move it's natural, while some games last over a decade. I just don't and will never agree to make it a Offline "experience" only.
@sa1tynutz
You do realize there ARE private servers? And when the game is "ending", these can be sold or even released as free for players to host their own private ones? So what are you on about?Again, it's cute you're a happy little warrior and all that, but I'd rather see new Sea of Thieves in like 5-6y (modernized, on Unreal 5, with new plot, characters, map, etc.) then being stuck on a dinosaur, milking the same old cow for 20y.
And if that day comes, and people are still nostalgic about the first game - that's where the "offline"/private server version could kick in, cuz why not.
That doesn't mean it will ever happen, doesn't even mean it needs to happen soon (because the game still feels both fun + good looking).
But please don't act like you're a PR of the majority of people playing the game, cause you're really not.
PS. also, that chart is useless and isn't really related to the topic, as well as your rant about AFK clickers. That's just plain obnoxious.
Hi all!
Please stay civil and avoid engaging in personal arguments and derailing the topic of the thread. It is fine to debate the content of the post, and the viewpoints therein, but disrespecting any of your fellow pirates personally is against the Pirate Code, and our Forum Rules.
I do think this is worth talking about while the game is still going strong, and the devs are still ''allowed'' to work on the game, rather than when the game is in its final phase and it is deemed unprofitable to work on it any further. And this is a conversation that is going to come up with any big live service games that are starting to enter their sunset days; what becomes of them when the server plugs are going to be pulled. I'm sure Rare would never mention anything about the final days of the game until the very end, because they don't want to scare off potential buyers, but i do hope they have a cool plan in place, or otherwise get one in place while they still can, if they can.
I feel like with how Rare seems community focused if the time ever comes to close the door on the SoT servers they will make it playable offline. Not before hand though. The best we can hope for is improvements to safer seas which honestly at this point just seem like that was added to hopefully keep newer plays around longer so they could get their sea legs instead of jumping into high seas. It's such a flawed design concept that in its current form it's not even good for fishing as you can't get milestones for your ship plaques.

I doubt they'll put in dev time & money at the end-of-life to make it work on someone's PC - even if they did, it would be a new game and probably you'll have to buy it again.
Best we could hope for is them charging for custom servers on a monthly basis or perhaps single use, and if the emporium items is profitable, having some graphic devs around to add new sets; though I doubt that would be able to make a profit if the playerbase at that time would be dwindling.
