Talk:Sea of Thieves

Opening Blurb
How can the game that was concieved in 2014 be inspired by games that were released in 2018. something here donest make logical sense 95.152.219.34 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 12:33, 31 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I added a 147.161.149.89 (talk) 15:55, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Date Formats
I see in the edit history that there is some disagreement over date formats, I put forward that almost all articles about games on this site use the month dd, yyyy format and to use a different format for this specific game is a little silly. 193.61.207.138 (talk) 12:23, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Your assertion that almost all article about games on Wikipedia use MDY dates is completely false. Additionally, DMY dates have been in use on this article since its first revision. We retain the existing variety. It's not being changed. End of discussion. --The1337gamer (talk) 18:20, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

From Polygon. I expect a few of these to pop up here and there, might be good to hang on to them. Zero Serenity (talk - contributions) 14:15, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation needed
The following linked terms lead to disambiguation pages and need to be fixed: board, loot, hideout, Black Sails, class, achievements. Pinging, who might know the right pages to link to. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:58, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reminder. I have corrected the links. OceanHok (talk) 03:38, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

GOCE copyedit
Microsoft released the game in March 2018 for Windows and Xbox One and it was released for Xbox Game Pass subscribers at launch. Is this supplementary information? Did Xbox Game Pass subscribers gain access to the game at a different time than everyone else?
 * ✅. Made it apparent it was one of the earliest first-party games released on the platform.

Players can also board the opponent's ship by shooting themselves out of a cannon or climbing the. Coloured red for emphasis. If it's what I'm thinking of, could it be a gangway?
 * ✅. Changed to gangway.

Players can interact with other players using emotes (introduced in an update) [...] I'm not sure if the parenthetical is necessary; is it important for people to know it wasn't part of the base game from launch? If it is important, perhaps the update has a name associated with it like "Anniversary" did?
 * ✅. Removed the parenthetical.

Microsoft's Australian branch partnered with music band Captain Hellfire & The Wretched Brethren in which the pirate band sang different. Cancelled wikitext to show context. Is there a reason why sea shanty is renamed?
 * ✅. Switched to sea shanties.

Sea of Thieves was able to attain a dedicated community following its release despite losing some players after its launch. Is it important to note that some consumers quit after launch? This happens for many games, even for ones that do well at launch.
 * ✅. Removed player retention sentence; could not find the word "launch" used anywhere in the corresponding reference.

Rare has four teams of employees working in parallel to create the game's various expansions so that large content update can be released frequently and sufficient development time can be given to each team. I've been changing a lot of the tenses to past in one form or the other; I've tentatively kept this one as is as the game still appears to be getting updated; would I assume correctly?
 * ✅. Kept as is.

Dark Relics introduces new voyages, cosmetic items, new [...] Coloured red for emphasis. Commentation is a word, but it's not used very often. Did you mean "commendations" or "commentary"?
 * ✅. Changed to "commendations".

In January 2020, Microsoft declared the game the most successful IP it has released in the generation [...] Can "generation" be specified? Which generation is Microsoft referring to? The article doesn't help in clarifying.
 * ✅. Changed attribution and added same link from lede for clarification.

Looking forward to your answers! -- Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝)  05:24, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * - Thanks for the copyediting effort! The game is significant for being the first first-party games on the Xbox Game Pass (a subscription service) at launch. I think gangway is a reasonable replacement and removing the parenthetical is fine too (it is a free update). I do want to point out that the game is able to amass a dedicated player base so I mentioned that the player count had dropped to show the contrast. The development is still ongoing, and it should be "commendations" instead. I think Microsoft is referring to the Xbox One generation. I hope these information help! OceanHok (talk) 14:48, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright, I managed to complete most of those. I'm still hesitant to include the decrease in player count to show contrast; the references right after the sentence don't appear to mention it anywhere. Also, can you please confirm the term "sea chanty" is intentional and used in the game? I consulted the source and "shanty" is used. -- Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝)  18:28, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I think singular "shanty" is ok. It is also fine if you think removing the player count part, though I included it because it was in the article's title. OceanHok (talk) 11:11, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's everything! I'll amend the notice on your talk page and mark the request as done at GOCE. -- Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝)  00:06, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
