This'll be our first update since we've shifted to working from home and I think that's going to be a really good moment for us as a studio and as a team... Not only is it our first update, it's one that has a tonne of cool stuff in, so I think it's going to have a real impact. The emissary system means players can, for example, immediately identify a Gold Hoarder ship and conclude they're more likely to have high-value treasure onboard - increasing the incentive to target specific vessels, thus introducing greater risk for participants as well as greater rewards.It's an idea that draws on the learning from previous Sea of Thieves activities such as Gilded Voyages, where rewards were boosted specifically to encourage more high-stakes player interactions. "Understandably, there have been fears in the community that the emissaries system - which incentivises ship sinking - might ultimately tip Sea of Thieves' delicate balance of PvP carnage and quieter PvE thrills too far in the the direction of the former.Rare, however, believes the emissary system's opt-in nature - and the fact Reaper's Bones players don't earn faction rewards for sinking non-emissary ships - will help protect PvP-shy players from unwanted attention in the long run, offering a "hiding space" for non-emissary players as they become lower value targets in the world.And less confrontational players will be delighted to hear that the developer is looking to lessen the impact of PvP on other core areas of the game where necessary too.That includes the story driven Tall Tales, which, in their current guise, are all too easily robbed of narrative momentum when players are forced to start over as a result of critical items being lost or stolen during PvP. "The one experience we didn't have... is that sense of standing on the deck of your ship, using your spyglass, looking over at another ship, and not only making a judgement call on [its type and likely crew size], but what flag they're flying, what they're choosing to accomplish in this world. It's a fitting way to begin the multiplayer pirate adventure's third year of post-launch updates, but, of course, it arrives in strange times. Thanks for taking part! We don't want to guarantee that we're going to bring servers together and that there are X amount of people that will also be emissaries in your server; we still want that sense of emergent, unpredictable play".As Neate puts it, "This is the biggest change-up to our sandbox and to our progression system since we've launched really, and it's going to be one of those things where we're going to be observing and measuring and seeing how it's performing, and looking at if we need to evolve it... but we're as interested to see how it plays out as our players are, because ultimately we're going to be relying on what they do with those mechanics and how it all comes together. Today sees the launch of Sea of Thieves' latest update, Ships of Fortune, and it's big 'un, redefining and expanding one of the core tenets of the launch-day game: trading companies. There are plenty of PvE minded players on Sea of Thieves. This site © 2020 Gamer Network Limited. Dustin is PCGamesN's evening news writer. Interview by Matt Wales, Reporter There are sweeping changes to Arena mode - which has been seriously streamlined to create a brisker, more combat-focussed loop - there are pet cats, a new revive mechanic, and, most notably, a radical new 'emissaries' system, expanding on the voyage-giving trading companies at Sea of Thieves' core.Come the update's arrival, players will have the option of paying 20,000 gold to sign up as an faction emissary once they reach Level 15 in a trading company (each now has an increased level cap of 75, although players still only need to be Level 50 in three to become a Pirate Legend). I think one of the absolute fair criticisms of Tall Tales... was the requirement on players' time - but getting this to work in a sandbox world, where everyone can have different points of progress and tales can play out differently, has been a little bit more complex, but we've got a great solution now and it's coming very shortly. Sea of Thieves offers the essential pirate experience, from sailing and fighting to exploring and looting – everything you need to live the pirate life and become a legend in your own right. ""The rhythm and that process and everything we've built around how we update has kind of put us in really good stead," continues Neate, "but this is still a big moment for us. If, say, you saw two ships on the Gold Hoarders table, you'd know those are out in the world but you don't know where they are - so there's an element of, do you want to hunt them, do you want to wait until you come across them?
