there’s a lot to be improved
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
ways rare can fix sea of thieves before
we begin we publish new content every
day so be sure to subscribe to our

notified about our latest videos if
you’re already subscribed to mojo plays
then you should know that I’ve already
given my somewhat lukewarm thoughts on
the game but if you need a refresher
this is what I said sure you can become
a legendary pirate with some legendary
looking gear that’s definitely one
incentive but you still really gotta
love the boat stuff if you want to have
a good time so you gotta ask
do you like the boat stuff anyway for
this list we’re looking at some missed
potential and possible solutions that
could turn sea of thieves into the
fantastic game it could be because rare
has recently stated that they are
listening to the community for feedback
on how to improve the game if any of
these changes have already been
implemented by the time you’re watching
number ten
show the damn Kraken alright let’s just
get this one out of the way the Kraken
is supposed to be one of the most
intense fights in the game after all
this is a monstrous vicious squid we’re
dealing with unfortunately our immersion
with the world is a bit broken when
everyone is fighting a group of
disembodied tentacles rare says to think
of the Kraken as a force of nature
instead of a boss but when we can
actually see where the tentacles end it
just kind of looks like they didn’t come
up with an actual design it might be
best to actually make it a boss but make
it a rare boss fight whatever you do you
just got to make the crack and feel a
bit more special and let players
number nine catch the hackers why are we
doing it hello can you freakin believe
it with only a couple months into the
game and see if thieves is already
littered with hackers
there’s not even any reason to hack in
this game yeah there’s like a PvP
element but the stakes are so low why
are you even bothering just so you can
get more treasure chests I mean there’s
nothing to buy it but cosmetic stuff
you’re just basically cheating for the
sake of cheating if there’s anything
that some titles have proven it’s that a
cheater littered game can’t really live
very long seriously rare don’t lose
players because of this come on number
eight different loadouts and player
roles this is one of the most confusing
design choices we understand that the
goal was to keep everyone on the same
playing field but as nice as that sounds
it’s only an idea that sounds good on
paper when it’s executed it means the
game can get kind of boring at times if
see if these was introduced loadouts
or character classes it would be a
tremendous service to the game’s
lifespan after all items and characters
with different statistics help serve
different playstyles while encouraging
players to build new strategies maybe
one character can load cannons faster
while another can spawn enemy ships from
a greater distance
we’re only spitballing here but see if
number seven add some narrative hello
good luck and goodbye one motto that the
game is thrown around a lot is that
players create their own stories here
that’s a cool philosophy but it’s no
excuse to not let us experience other
stories – how about you create a series
of quests where we encounter different
memorable characters in fact rare you
guys already have a noteworthy pirate
that’s worth incorporating remember
captain black I the sorrow drowning
pirate from banjo-tooie maybe see if
thieves can finally be the return to
glory he was dreaming about before his
original game was canceled see now we
have a classic rare where fourth-wall
breaking concept to get started with you
see if Deeb’s is primarily a cooperative
multiplayer experience unfortunately not
everyone has friends to play games like
this with and searching for strangers
online can fuck that can get you added
in the brick of course there are some
players who just want to play by
themselves while you’re totally able to
play the game by yourself the game
quickly becomes kinda boring on your
lone little schooner you also have to do
everything on the ship by yourself which
can get overwhelming and if you can get
frustrating when a team of players spots
you and just takes all your shit it
might benefit solo players to give them
either a crew of bots or just put them
number five fixed the brick we get that
rare is trying to give us complete
pirate experiences here and adding a
brig seems pretty necessary however this
does not necessarily mean it is a good
game design choice especially when
players can throw each other into the
brig for basically no reason what’s
worse is that the only way out is if
other players vote for your freedom but
you’re better off just quitting the game
and joining another server we understand
that this was put in to punish griefers
but it also just opens up the door for
incessant teasing why not utilize this
as an interrogation tool something like
how you kidnap important characters to
help you find valuable artifacts that
number four more enemies in between the
battles with hackers and disembodied
tentacles sieve thieves is kind of
lacking in the combat Department if the
game throws an enemy at you
chances are you fought that thing like a
dozen times before at some point
skeletons snakes and sharks become kind
of a cinch
we know that pirates both fictional and
historical faced many other dangers
aside from those just looking how
Pirates of the Caribbean got creative
with fire anthology also we wouldn’t
mind if ran through in some original
enemy designs of their own just I can
say you know any of their previous games
a few variations of the same skeleton
really is not cutting it number three
as much as we like keeping our ships
spic and span we’d like to make a
kick-ass ship with our crew – this kind
of goes back to what we were saying
about keeping players on the same level
it sounds like a good idea but in
practice it’s not don’t get us wrong the
ship battles are exciting for sure
however because everyone technically has
the same ship aside from cosmetics
everything gets stale kind of quick if
we were able to alter our ships
performance stats it would make the
fights more exciting either that or just
make more ship models that we could
purchase with our fat stacks of gold
number two more stuff to buy with gold
we’ve heard the phrase you got money to
burn but see if thieves often gives you
more gold than you know what to do with
our only options are cosmetic items for
pirates and weapons I mean which sword
looks prettier which blunderbuss is
shinier does this I of reach match my
eyes come on give us a reason to buy
this stuff other than the fact that it’s
shiny like let us barter with NPCs to
buy better ships let us buy weapons with
different statistics geez I never
thought I’d see the day where we were
complaining about too much in-game
number one more quest variety okay so
you got three things to do in this game
catch animals kill skeletons find
treasure that is it repetition sets in
super fast
we know Pirates do more than just hunt
for booty right booty anyway many of the
other entries on this list could quickly
solve this problem rare if you’re really
going to encourage players to create
their own legacy you need to give them
something design quests that tell
stories create characters that can go on
adventures with us you could even have
quests end in different ways to add more
variety given the game’s current state
there’s not much reason for us to come
back for another adventure since we’ve
