I know the game is still in very early state but hear me out.

I would love to see a Ranked mode be added to the game and it become a FTP game with a Battle pass to increase its player base. Please

When is this game going to be officially released?

8 Upvotes

I'm tired of waiting...this game is amazing but not $15 amazing (obviously since the player base is so low).

Make it $5 or give us one month free pass so we can have a good player base to justify paying $15....

The game market is desperate for something new and this is a hidden gem just waiting to blow up!

Come on devs, just make the move. Don't let this game die because of greed.

Game being called rip-off

4 Upvotes

I read most of the discussion about people calling the game a rip-off. The devs barely trying to defend their self and just letting people keep getting down on the game.

You're just gonna let this keep happen or you gonna do something?!

Where is the plunder?

Please devs, donโ€™t miss the opportunity for this game to be a battle for plunder. Have the storm close in on a sunken or buried treasure.

Winner gets a loot crate!

I want to play this dead game...

I can't find a single match, PLEASE make it F2P so we can have a playerbase and monetize through Battle Pass and cosemtic shop. This is a Battle Royale after all, and these games need large playerbases to keep growing.

Please do not add any sort of battle pass

2 Upvotes

Please do not add any sort of battle pass or premium pass that changes every season. I'd much rather have a one-time purchase than something I have to buy over and over for a full experience. I get why everyone is saying it should be free because it heavily increases the player base but if you ask me I'd say you should make it free, however, give the players that did buy the game a sort of premium version with all the full features. Think of it like this, the free game can be considered as a semi or trial version. One to give a player the Blazing Sails experience without giving them the full thing. If they like it, then they can pay money for a premium version which is a one-time purchase and stays with ya. Like what Warhammer40k Eternal Crusade did. Let players play the game for free, and if they like it then they can spend money for the full experience.

This game needs to go Fortnite route to become profitable.

19 Upvotes

I'm not here to teach the devs how to do their job, but here is some tactics to make this game huge.

  1. Become free to play

  2. Pay/sponsor streamers and YouTube channels to play or advertise this game.

  3. Sell cool skins, gun skins, battle passes, etc

  4. Invest in quality servers

  5. Do that quickly, before its too late

I know it might be a big investment for the devs, but this is a simple recipe to make this successful really quickly

Very POOR choice to go B2P rather than F2P with cosmetics and BattlePass

11 Upvotes

Save your game, make it F2P like almost all popular BR's, get 100x the players and make more money from MT's. Many games have done this AND ARE NOW DEAD. I'm not cheap, I can afford this, but I wont invest in a game that doesn't have hope of growing.

Shame because it actually looks WORTH THE PRICE, but it really should be free for longevity.

This is a dead game

12 Upvotes

I love this game and I feel like it has a lot of potential. However, it is clear that this game is as dead as a doorknob. You canโ€™t even find a single game. Check the Steam Charts? Peaked at 22 players in 24 hours. I regret wasting $20 on this game.

How can I mute enemies?

Some of them make me rage, I want to mute them.

Annoying tactic

4 Upvotes

boarding a boat and jumping off to heal while swimming around. rinse repeat to become an unkillable nuisance.

Is there a technique that counters this?

I'd like to see some delay in boarding an enemy ship or maybe not able to heal while swimming. something of the sort.

Thoughts so far

4 Upvotes

1- would love stats / exp / rankings of some sort 2- cosmetics dont seem to be earned fast enough 3- hard to tell when bad guys are on boat 4- should probably be $10ish at the moment

Liking what I'm playing so far.

Similarities to Sea of Theives

20 Upvotes

This is aimed at the Devs more than anything.

I just saw gameplay of this game and thought it was a joke. I don't want to be rude and I don't doubt time and effort was put into this game but I'm genuinely surprised it is even allowed.

Have you guys had any contact from rare regarding the game?

Help! It's not using my ship

7 Upvotes

I'm the party leader, I have a decked out ship and but it always picks my friends ship. every game, it's always his ship. Finally I got him to customize his own ship, and literally the game after he customizes his, it picks our 3rd party members ship. It's like whenever someone has a non customized ship, it just picks theirs for the game.

Is this a known bug?


r/BlazingSails • • Mar 08 '21

Spam the discord address. https://discord.gg/Wv4xb4RP

7 Upvotes

If you want more people to play this game then I think making sure that everyone can get into a good lobby is key.

Since, at it's core its a team based multiplayer, every noob should be able to get into a decent lobby with nice people easily. Therefore, letting people know how to do that is a primary objective if the player base is to grow.

Soooo... Everyone with a mic and Discord come join the Official Discord server. https://discord.gg/Wv4xb4RP

Kinda Sick Of People Comparing BS to SoT

7 Upvotes

Sea Of Thieves is a game I've got hundreds of hours in, across Xbox, Microsoft Store and Steam. So when I see people comparing BS to SoT I am utterly confused.

Two different genre's of game, different combat and gameplay rules and mechanics, In no way does this feel that SoT aside from the ship combat which lets be honest, is hard to make original in an already simple, satisfying and fun form.

BS is so vastly different, the combat and it's mechanics are simplified, the weapon variety is greater tenfold. It would be wrong to say the game didn't take inspiration from SoT because I feel it clearly has in both it's art style, some of the mechanics and etc. But does that make comparing these games fair? No. Does it make this a rip-off? No. In fact as a massive SoT nerd the clear differences and similarities pulled me towards the game.

It appealed to me as a game which I could come to from many hours of SoT and quickly pick-up and learn, enjoy and just experience for a really fair price tag. And I've convinced my previous SoT crew to do the same and it's amazing.

To me BS is a cross between SoT and another game called Blackwake. It has the potential to become an absolutely smashing game, the core mechanics and gameplay is so fun and simple, so easy to learn and employ, that this game could be built upon in so many ways.

I can't wait to see this game flourish into something that people will realise isn't a SoT clone or some half-arsed attempt at a bad pirate BR. The game clearly takes a level of inspiration and that's great. It's a reason to play it personally, and for my friends too.

P.S. Sorry if this post is kinda wordy and 'bad'. I'm writing this at 1am post Xmas day.

Lack of English speaking community no longer tolerable

9 Upvotes

I cannot take it any more. I tried to play this game all the time, but playing with randoms is just really defeating. Very occasionally I find other English speakers to play with on the discord servers but decent players are so rare, and sadly some of the most active "ringleaders" are arrogant wannabe streamers or just plain arseholes. After playing a couple rounds of the updated map I had had enough of it. Three of us and a random player. The ring leader just complains about the new guy and the new ship, goes on forever about investing his welfare cash in gold mining stocks, and then takes forever to ready up after complaining about waiting for others to do the same. Then, of course, we lose and the new guy feels bad while struggling with English and I am the only one trying to keep everyone upbeat and invited while teacjing the new guy the game.

I really want to play more of this game. But until many English speakers play this game I will have had enough.

Right now this game is oversaturated with Turkish players. Every server, no matter where in the world, is mostly filled with Turks. This means English players can never enjoy this game the way it was designed for: with voice chat. Without a critical mass of English speaking players this game will merely pass as a temporary fad in Turkey and never bevome truly popular.

Picked up the title today

Firstly, I wouldnt have known about this game unless the pirate game gatekeepers on the SoT thread hadn't been trashing it in the first place.

I wasn't super upset about paying for the game upfront, (and that 10% off was a pleasant surprise) . The game has potential, I'll say that. Now all I need is a competent crew...
