[Mega Thread] Glitterbeard Discussion and Community Help Thread [Spoilers Ahead]

Got the Glitterbeard event finished last night using a Looking For Group and t'was beautiful. Took a bit of effort to get a crew o' 8, get on same server, but t'was worth it.

I did the ritual last weekend with 7 random people i met in a group online. It was a great experiance reading the whole story and learning the backstory. I agree, that it might be hard to get 7 other fellow pirates to work with you but all in all it was definitely worth it. There was just one thing wich kind of ruined the experience for me. I am german and also play SoT in german and noticed, some of the journal entries were not completely translated. I had no problem understanding them but nevertheless it was a suprise

Read the whole story up till the final journal, I really loved hearing Glitterbeard’s accounts of the seas. As someone who is very much friendly and tries not to fight too much I thought he was a very sweet character. Good Job Rare!

@big-markus9108 I heard that Rare asked creators not to post the contents of the journals at this point in time, so that people experience the story and adventures of glitterbeard in game. You may have to wait for that. But i agree with you, that translations in this game are partly not very good and sometimes even missing. I noticed this while searchich for the journals in my session and some lines were not properly or just not translated to german.

anyone know where the one is on the two peak ship wreck one

@manicowl88 Agreed!! They make what I assume is an amazing tribute, but force players to search outside of the game to see it. Nothing in this game should require more than 4 pirates. I also missed the 1st Meg because of this. Sailed around beating the drum for about an hour and nobody else showed up. Oh well, maybe someday I'll see it. Until then I'll just keep having fun in the game.

Rare have to decrease the number of players to 4 for opening the vault. I tried 15 times with 12 other people to find the same server by server hopping.. No chance.. Why you have to do that with a stranger crew? The experience would be much deeper with your own crew...

I would still like to complete this....

After reading through this thread from start to finish, I can see I was right (Predicted it on Insider, and here it comes to pass). The sentiment for Glitterbeard seems to have finally worn off (I figured it would take roughly 3 weeks to a month before it happened, and here we are a month later), and now its just a struggle to even do the thing.

Might be time to reconsider that 8 person requirement, since it was pointless to require it in the first place.

I was fortunate enough to hop into a Server Alliance on Day 1 of its release to get it done. Know how many times I have gotten it done since; Zero, Zip, Zilch. I even saw a crew trying to get it done a week later. Fired a Blunderbuss at them in the middle of the sequence to prove a point. I had not even thought of Glitterbeard for quite some time until today. Saw a Crew trying to do his Tree Sequence, but they had loot, so we sunk-em and they left the server. (Kind of makes you wish they did not need 8 people huh. . .)

Never should have needed 8 people, still dont think it needs 8 people, and like Skeleton thrones, RagnBone Crates, Stolen Gifts, and the like before it; Glitterbeard falls into needless obscurity to gather digital dust alongside other unachievable content, with an arbitrarily ridiculous setup requirement, instead of being able to be revisited and given proper respect.

What a Legacy. - Slow Claps -

My advice to anyone still having trouble, just hop into a Server Alliance. It will save you a lot of needless PVP encounters, and Server Hopping.

@weetabix-lord yes that was me i was there we were disappointed

Just wanted to say it’s now been plenty of time for it to be “experienced by all”. Make
this able to do with just your crew. There has been no one doing this since the first week and 2 of my crew have yet to experience it and honestly don’t even care about it at this point Bc finding people outside of server alliances is next to impossible.

omg i finally got to do this with shillianth and crew. THE FEELS. :( it's raining on my face.

Good morning, I do not know if this is ever read by the developers, but I put it just in case because I think it is interesting.

I think that if the developers implemented being able to create alliances with more friends in plan than if there is a galleon created, then somehow to be able to create another ship as a sloop and be able to create it on the same server as that galleon and thus be able to create an alliance between several ships That they are friends and make fleets I think it would give more PVP and more life to the game I like the game a lot, but I think this would give more life to igaul's game than a 6-man ship would be great.

I do not know if this message will be read at some point or will be forgotten, but I send it because I think it is necessary and I wanted to do it.
Also thank you very much.

And keep putting things like this.

A greeting

Guys that's was just perfect.... Music... Lights... I'm going to light this tree one more time :D More of this kind of things in Sea of Thives for sure but...

@bubbaslubz i hate stuff like that too but its not that big of an issue. Go to the discord once and look for people who wanna do it and its done after an hours. Its not that hard. Agree that it sucks but if you want to do it you can without much effort.

Give something more to us pre-order players, we hardly got anything, and it looked so ugly! It's just plain black with a few emeralds here and there and the jacket is awful, it looks like a starter outfit!

Since the Pirates' Life update, enemy spawn rates seem way to high.

Before the update, some skeletons would spawn, you'd kill them and then get about five minutes of quiet time to do your quest or whatever.

Now however, it seems like you get no quiet time at all, the spawn rates of the ocean crawlers seem particularly bad with sometimes multiple waves spawning at the same time; leading to sloop crews having to deal with as many as three of the tanky crab guys at once, only to be rewarded with more spawning once their finally dealt with.

I don't think this can possibly be what was intended when the update launched, and I've waited a while but haven't seen any acknowledgement that this is an issue.

Is the team aware of this and do they have any intention of fixing it?
