The 17th season of "Sea of Thieves" has quietly set sail with the moonless night.Developer Rare has launched the "Smuggler Alliance" in a new version of this multiplayer pirate simulation game - the secret forces occupying six secret nests in the Dangerous Islands, providing players with multiple ways to obtain rare loot.
The core gameplay "smuggling route escort" is a high-risk transportation commission that can be directly received on the map.After accepting the mission, all players will share the same route, and the route will be displayed on the map in real time. Navigation ships are very likely to become targets of pirates.
If you are unwilling to participate in the route competition, you can search for drift bottles outside the "Devil's Roar" (the volcanic area in the game).These bottles will reveal maps to hide smuggling routes, helping you deliver goods more safely.
Players can also dive to explore the exclusive shipwreck of smugglers (the treasure value is far greater than that of ordinary shipwrecks), or attack the skeleton ship that has privately hidden treasures of the Alliance (the motivation is only known to those skeleton pirates).Both types of operations may find black powder kegs, which can be sold to the smuggler alliance for bounty, and can also be used for other purposes.
The season update increases the game's reputation level by 100 levels, optimizes the handle key configuration and cross-region matching mechanism, and rebalances the "Devil's Roar" area: the smoke time before the volcano erupts for a longer time, which makes it easier for players to plan their escape routes.
It is gratifying that "Sea of Thieves" continues to revive, but "Everwild" owned by developer Rare is not spared.The action-adventure game, which has been developed for many years, has been cancelled with Microsoft's massive layoffs last month, which has caused thousands of job losses to the company.This move is particularly ironic, with Microsoft's latest financial report showing quarterly revenue of $27.2 billion.
