- Schedule future content -when asked if will be announced all content and updates planned over the next 12 months, developers have a negative answer by explaining that to maintain the mystery around the game world and the features future, will reveal the news just a few months after the release. This will allow him even to adapt quickly to user feedback by changing that may appear in future planned to respect the will of the players.
- Multiple Active Travel -a user asks if in the future there will be allowed to vote on our ship and activate more than one trip (the quests offered by the merchants), so that we can pursue a number of objectives simultaneously. Rare replied that Yes, this is in their intentions and are trying to figure out how to make it happen at best. Obviously it remains possible, present since launch, to find bottles with new missions to follow along with the current trip.
- Matchmaking and number of players -a user has asked why the s loop , single sail boat for one or two players, including the cell where exiling a crewmember, only usable by crews. The development team explained that in the future intend to introduce the possibility to add to your crew new players even after the game has started, and they're assuming they can lead to 4 the number of players that can be hosted by sloop. Notification will also be introduced to better understand when a member of the crew leaves the group or falls.
- Ship of the damned -a user asks if the ship of the damned, the ghost Galleon which forms short lobby pre-respawn after being killed, will have in the future a more active role within the game, or if we will encounter ghost pirates in the game world. Rare does not confirm it, but explains that the fantasy world of the game will be constantly expanded, so that's definitely a possibility.
- Pets -it is already known that, after the launch, will be added of pets-parrots, monkeys etc.-who will have a role exclusively aesthetic and entertainment available through microtransactions. Now the team explained that some of these will also be available during the game, without having to buy, and that we can have more than one, but we can only choose one to take with us.
- Rowing boats -Rare explains that it tested in prototype version the Paddle boats, perhaps to be used as lifeboats to move from Galleons to the Mainland, and that these may appear in the game in the future.
- Legendary Galleons -already knew that, once you reach the status of legendary pirate (obtained after reaching a certain level in commercial companies), the game would give us access to the "legendary Galleons" they would showed everyone in the gaming world our level of pirates. Now Rare explained that, rather than some real boats, it will be cosmetic elements that will allow us to transform our vessel in "legendary". These will be equally applicable to large Galleons from 4 players to smaller boats, one or two players, so no matter if you're playing alone or with 2, 3 or 4 friends, you can always show off your status as a legendary pirate.
- Customizing ships -the developers have suggested that the plaque on Captain's cabin will be customizable in the future, without going into details. Let us assume that we can engrave it with symbols or even our name, perhaps after having become legendary pirates.
- Customizing your pirate -Rare explains that it is their intention to introduce after launching the change of hair color of our pirates and customizing tattoos, obtained after specific missions. They are trying to figure out how to make the most of these features, that the game engine already allows.
- Musical instruments -Rare explains that, in addition to the three existing tools will be added in the future also the drum and violin.
That's all for now: stay tuned for more info on Sea of Thieves !
