Today's Sea of Thieves Update Was Simply AMAZING.

It would have been nice to get a knife and double barrle pistal cosmetics in the free season pass.

I want fish to be melee weapons, so we can slap people with fishes

Now they should focus on making the islands more diverse.

So far, my only complaint is only having 3 non emporium skins each for the knife and pistol, but they will probably add more midseason. Otherwise I like everything this adds to the sandbox. To all the PS players, see you on the waves.

I really think the scattershot (I prefer if its called grape shot) is going to be the go to for sloops against bigger ships. Its likely to be especially effective against Galleons

Grape shots are rather strong. Ambushed a brig today, hit her with 3 grapes and she sunk in like 20secs. Tbf the ship was most likely captained by just 1 dude, but still, amazing

That stone curse being in the paid pass bugs me a lot, curses were supposed to be a cool unlockable thing for doing something significant in the game. Makes me super worried about the state of curses in the future, if the majority of players don't care and/or buy the plunder pass anyways.

It would be cool if the skellies worked on your ship when you raise them for an emergency uses for a solo that would be a little bonus when going up against bigger targets

Everyone talking about weapons and gear Meanwhile I’m just excited to play quicker with the grapple, walking and sliding on it, is just gonna be a game changer for me, gonna try and maximize efficiency on every occasion

In a world where every company seems to be trying to nickel and dime you through season passes, we can sit back and appreciate how amazing No Man's Sky has been. Not only did the game do a complete 180 and end up keeping all of their promises, but they still have not monetized it beyond its original purchase. We're talking over 5 years of updates, seasonal stuff, just an incredible amount of content all included. It's a shame very few games show that kind of love and support for their community. SOT is definitely not among the best in this category.

Haven't played properly yet, but can't wait to test out the new items. The bone caller and throwing knives look the most exciting to me

I think that most of the issues you mentioned about the downward traversal are true, but with the harpoon gun coming out in season 14, the traversal combinations will get a lot more dynamic with the ziplines on islands.

Haven’t played since the guilds update and seeing an update like this makes me very excited to play, especially now that I can play with my friends who have PlayStations

1:18 yup, hit reg is real with the double barrel

You should be able to slide loot down ziplines. I feel like that would make getting loot from those huge islands much better. Plus a convoy of loot sliding onto my ship seems so fun.

ONLY thing they need is more zip lines, and to add the ability to go UP zip lines like a pulley

You can jump off the harpoons to get a quick shot in and you will get back on the harpoon. It is helpful for boarding

Scattershot is my favourite so far. Yesterday I took down a brigantine and galleon using scattershot. It didn't consume all of their planks but just seemed to overwhelm them.

I've found the Double-Barrel Pistol to be a nice middle ground between the power of the Blunderbuss and the versatility of the Pistol. I can see myself using it a lot going forward. The ability to walk on Harpoon ropes is a great traversal tool, but it does require some significant effort to keep your character from falling off. I guess that's how they balance the ability to open up impromptu shortcuts basically anywhere. The Scattershots do have a somewhat limited range, but also feel like they could shake up sea battles nicely. As Ray points out, this should help the smaller and more agile Sloops to counter the firepower of Galleons. All in all, a pretty solid update!

7:15 they should do the helldivers type, where full emisarry, long voyages, rare loot, etc all give a small small amount of premium currency.
