First “non-boosted” lvl 50 Rogue Sea Dog galleon.
non-boosted meaning what exactly?
Prodigy X, the first person to hit legendary status, got his twitch watchers to boost him to legendary i.e. lvl 50 by waiting for him to join their game before turning in their loot from their quests which he didn’t help find. He just showed up at the end for the rewards. A lot of people believe he should get a statue of a booster seat in his name.

LOL …HA…not mad at the guy. If it was known and not against whatever codes of conduct…more power to him. Cant get mad cuz many saw him as ‘their’ captain…and we all know…the captain gets shares of all that booty lol
It doesn’t really bother me either as the game is casual as fuck. I do see why people are mad though. Rare said that the first legendary will become a celebrity in a sense. They plan to do something special for the first. The people that tried to do it legit are going to be upset.
I also think people are pissed because the guy wouldn’t even learn how to play the game. He would just jump in and turn in chest. At one point he didn’t know how to do quest, dig treasure, change his cosmetic items, etc. He was 100% doing it for the views and not the love of the game.
Over the past couple of weeks, Rare has been working on addressing the Sea of Thieves launch issues. Following server maintenance, a small patch has been released with a few fixes. Most important to players are likely the server and crashing issues, but there are a few other changes as well.
The patch notes are as follows:
Updates
- Ship respawn distance - When a ship sinks, we have significantly increased the distance at which the crews new ship will respawn. Ships will now respawn outside of visible view of the ship that sank them. This is in response to lots of player feedback which highlighted that the previous spawn distance was resulting in “griefing” behaviour and stalemates at the forts!
- Mermaid Teleport - Pirates will now have to drop any treasure item they are carrying before being able to see the ‘Teleport back to ship’ option from the mermaid. We saw feedback that players were accidentally leaving treasure behind in the sea, so wanted to make it more clear that when you teleport you leave your treasure behind!
Fixed Issues
- [PC Only] Players should no longer experience the 0x80070005 error or get stuck at 99% during installation.
- Players are no longer able to fall through the ship geometry and into the sea if they are to repeatedly jump on the chests/barrel located mid deck
- The voyage image on the captain’s table now displays the rank (promotion) banner in the top right corner, to keep in line with other areas of the game UI.
- When accepting a game invitation whilst matchmaking, the game no longer enters a temporary unresponsive state.
- Bounty Captains will no longer spawn multiple times.
Performance Improvements
- Multiple server and client crash fixes.
- Further improvements and optimisations for all platforms are ongoing.
There are also a few known issues. Do note the statement regarding achievements earned before March 29th:
- Players may experience details of their pirate (such as hair colour / scars) looking different from their initial selection.
- Achievements earned prior to March 29th are delayed, but will be awarded once our fix is applied.
- Some players are unable to equip a second weapon. For a potential workaround see our Support Article.
- For an update on these three issues, please read our Launch Update written by Executive Producer, Joe Neate.
- Some players have not received their Black Dog Pack code. If you pre-ordered from the official Microsoft Store, please submit a Support ticket through Support. If you pre-ordered from another retailer, please contact them to receive your code.
- Some players cannot see their downloadable content in game. Please read our Support Article for a potential workaround for this issue.
- Bounty quest skeletons sometimes do not spawn or cannot be found.
The patch is available to download now and runs 450MB.

Private boats! Maybe 3 or 4 crew on a sloop? Still no option to vote to kick an uncooperative player. The ones that just want the rep and gold but would rather watch Netflix. I played earlier and had one that took 30 minutes to drop out.
If you are playing with all PC players there is no reason to use the Xbox app party system. That is if the people you are playing with is ok with using discord.
If you are playing with a mix of Xbox and PC you are going to be stuck with the Xbox app party. Most xbox players aren’t going to use their phone for voice chat. While it works great it is not ideal especially if they use a headset for sound.
I am pretty sure this is an option also, but I think then other teams can hear everything you say.
Edited to add: You could always use something like this Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

Fucking randoms. Why is it I keep getting AFK douchebags who just want the rep and gold but don’t want to play? We need a kick vote. I also have noticed a lot of server hoppers just trying to find a skull fort raid active. 75% of the LFG posts through the Xbox Live UI are server hoppers that just want to raid.
