One caveat should be considered with this data dive. The assets pulled are not officially announced, and could, therefore, be cut content or take on a much different role in the final game, especially when a beta is usually never the same version of the game that’s released when a game is launc

The beta for Sea of Thieves happened recently, and to not many people’s surprise, dataminers got a hold of the game’s data. What perhaps was not expected is what they found hidden beneath the sea of c
While the infamous bananas are the only healing factor in the beta, the full game will also feature coconuts, pineapples, pomegranates, and rum. It’s not clear what the difference between grog and rum will be, though it’s likely pirates will make haste of their own supply. Those who have played the beta also know it has a few gaps in the equipment wheel, and while the full inventory hasn’t yet been discovered, there was an entry here for dice, which is a solid indication that players will be able to gamble with one another. There will also be a variety of at least three usable potions which seem to be health restoration, resurrection, and poison. If there’s a chance to poison the grog supply on an enemy ship, we imagine impromptu stealth missions will be a joy to beh
Since players have to aim down sights to fire, this also means that the pace of combat is slowed right down, with players typically choosing to stand in place to fire a considered shot, much like you’d actually see in any hostile encounter in a pirate mo
It’s in no way surprising that the mantra of “…but what do I do?” or variations thereupon, has lingered over Sea of Thieves like a pungent-but-irremovable odor. While there was always a strong case that there’d already been a fair amount of intrigue built up for what Rare — proper Rare that is, not Kinect Sports-shackled “Rare” — was cooking-up, prior to and since its reveal back at E3 2015 (which admittedly garnered somewhat of a deflated “eeeeeehhhhhh” reaction from yours truly), details pertaining to its content, its progression, its finer details outside of an odd sample of footage and some rather unfunny plodding through voluntary player commentary, have been somewhat conserved. For what purpose though; after all, you and I both know Microsoft need all the good marketing they can get their hands on if they’re to give Xbox a reasonable chance in 2018.
Today sea of thieves Treasure guide|https://seaofthievesfans.com/ of Thieves Lead Designer Mike Chapman posted on the game’s forums to give more details on how personal combat with flintlocks, blunderbusses and swords will actually work on Rare’s upcoming shared world adventure g
The addition of harpoon guns brings some exciting possibilities for underwater combat and maneuvering: it’s a great shark deterrent (as it’s likely gunpowder-based weapons won’t be usable under water post-beta), and also brings the possibility that pirates will be able to attach themselves to opposing ships via the harpoons and potentially sneak up the sides. Of course, that’s not the only new weapon to watch out for. The boarding axe, heavy sword, rapier, flintlock pistol, and blunderbuss will also be featured in the full version of Sea of Thiev
Microsoft has officially announced that Rare’s multiplayer pirate action game Sea of Thieves will feature cross-play between Xbox One and PC. The announcement came during today’s Xbox Gamescom livestream, which included some new trailers, a few announcements, and concluded with the launch of Xbox One X pre-orders. But cross-play for Sea of Thieves could be the biggest surprise, with the game’s closed technical alpha implementing the feature, effective immediat
There are also references to more instruments beyond the hurdy-gurdy and accordion, which have become massive hits among players. Each of the two existing instruments has a lead and backing track (along with their drunk variants), but a fifth track for drums also appears to be on the cards. Many players have also wished for larger galleons allowing for crews of 5 or 6, but the datamine has revealed no fruits in that regard – just more pomegrana
According to Rare, the studio wants to offer a balanced experience that’s equal in almost every facet. In practice, that means a game with full feature parity, but more than that it means an equal playing field from day one. So Rare also says they’re planning on launching Sea of Thieves day and date on both console and PC, with launch still on track for early 2
