What are everyone's thoughts on starting a fresh thread to coincide with the Playstation release? The OP is very old, and doesn't cover any of the newer features. I've never written an OP before, but am considering working something up sometime next month, unless everyone would rather keep this one going, or someone more on the ball beats me to it.

This will probably get lost in the thread reboot, but my game is crashing anytime I try to do anything with guilds. Just open the Guilds tab from the main menu, or look at the screen where you choose between plain ship, your ships, guild ship. Hard crash back to Xbox dashboard.

This sucks, especially with the community weekend coming up. :(

You can submit a ticket on the sea of thieves website to log the issue and they do read all that stuff. Don't think it will be fixed for the community weekend though.

Yeah I read it's a known issue but the timing really sucks.

I had a crashing video driver on SoT on my laptop, but at least I was able to fix it by editing some .ini file to force the old DirectX version.

This is a very bumpy season.

Today is update day! I really hope this fixes some of the crashing bugs, because I've had at least one crash-to-desktop every session for weeks now. Both PC and console.

And Rare hosed up their GDK update last time, so now we get to download a 90Gb patch yet again.

Yeah, the GDK update going wrong is one of the weirder issues I've had in ages: the performance I got basically halved following the update. Hopefully it's much better this time.

Seems like the bug fixes have been mixed with the new update. Some people who had problems are playing without any now, others are reporting similar issues.

They finally fixed the drat logon bug I was having. About 2 weeks ago I started having to logon every time I played. Doing the credential manager clean up used to work but it stopped working. Today I finally was able to play without logging in. I would like to get a guild invite on Nosthula if there is space. I posted in Discord as well.

I'm still having crashes, and I'm hearing people say Hourglass is still messed up. So far it's about the same as before the update. :(

Did they do random small changes to the Tall Tales clues?

Was doing "Legendary Storyteller" and have this Littlest Boat clue:



D-10 is Port Merrick

But every guide has this image instead:



Golden Sands doesn't even seem to be on the map??

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



golden sands was voted to be destroyed as part of an event and port merrick sits on top of its ruins.

i guess they didn't want to just replace the sign with "port merrick" because it was still called golden sands at the point in the timeline that the tall tale takes place?

It was actually voted to be saved and rebuilt after it was destroyed by Flameheart's forces during the initial Adventures. Presumably, if Port Merrick hadn't been built the island would have been changed from an outpost to something used by him and the Reapers.

Those exploding rowboats were the best. I missed a board but sank the brig I was chasing anyway by sniping their rowboat from the water.

The preview event for 2024 ended, and included a lot of game changers. In summary:

Season 12: New tools. Two new weapons in a double-barrel flintlock and throwing knives. Scattershot for cannons that have short range, but do multiple small holes against a ship. New throwable that summons skeletons to fight for you, even on boats. New wind horn treasure that can propel ships and rowboats, knock around players, negate fall damage, and put out fires. Also, you'll be able to tightrope walk across harpoon lines! Also, ziplines are being added to many of the islands.

Season 13: Flameheart! And he comes with a new mega-ship that's a world event. Defeat it to take control of the ship, which comes with 10 cannons, forward facing fireball launchers, and a skeleton crew to help run everything. Once you have it you can voyage to skeleton camps for Orb of Secrets, and build up tribute to Flameheart that can be cashed in for gold. But, of course, everyone on the map will be fighting to take the ship from you.

Season 14: The "mischief season". More described than shown off. Will have new stealth options to assist in tucking on other ships. Will also introduce traps, and a grapple gun. The latter they showed off, making island traversal or boarding much, much easier.

These where a lot of fun. I kind of wish they made them a permanent part of the game somehow.

Edit: Forgot ziplines.

The Gold and Glory "weekend" also started today, lasting from 20 to 25 March. Double rep & gold, and there's Legendary Bottle quests that give Athena loot. If you complete 8, you get a "glass rapier"!

Sadly the progress tracking is buggy and so far none of them counted for me. :(

Very frustrating when bugs ruin the fun. Hopefully there will be a quick fix.

There is also a gold capstan as a simple log-in bonus for the event.

I think the bug is related to doing any other treasure map quest, like skeleton bottles or whatever.

After only getting 1 of 4 to count tried again but didn't select any quests at all, picked up no skeleton envelopes etc, and everything counted and got the sword.
