I'm glad to be back! Not being able to record last night was a real bummer. This week it's time to catch up on the news and talk about the Sea of News update, some interesting points from the patch notes as well as will Sea of Thieves be coming to PS5. Lots to talk about as well as a weird bug that I found while doing Hourglass and how to fix it.

This week in Sea of Thieves the Gold Hoarders sit down to talk about the latest season 11 update and how they're approaching the changes to the questing system. We also go into detail about how we feel the diving system works from a Reaper's Bones perspective. Additionally, we talk about some of the things we've done to work to our first distinctions and what would be some good options for cosmetics through the Hourglass ranks and a type of pig you never thought someone would want. All that and more in this week's episode of Keelhauled Podcast!

This week on Keelhauled let's get into the deep dive video that we got this week just hours before the new season goes live. There will be a lot to go over in the future and we'll talk patch notes in the coming week. It was great to have so many devs from the team speak to the content and I'm really excited to try these out and check out the new loot that's going to be coming through the voyages as well as the emergent loot.

Season 11 Trailer for Sea of Thieves is live and while the episode is later than normal and I'm fighting a cold I had to dig into this video and bring you all of the news that they were able to stuff into this relatively short video. I think this is going to change how the game feels to play for 2024 and I'm very impressed with how willing Rare is to let go of the old systems that felt both very natural but also outdated. It's going to be interesting to see just how the community responds to this shift away from sailing to every location and working as much of a voyage as you want as we transition to a world of always-leveling Trade companies and on-demand content.

It's a slow news week for Sea of Thieves and we're on the wait for more info from Rare. Keep an eye out for more stuff to come next week as I spend time this week talking about what I think would help improve the game from my perspective. I hope you all have a good week and I'll see you on the seas!

This week in Sea of Thieves, I come back after a week off to talk about the things that have been going on during the last two weeks. Namely, the latest episode of the SoT Podcast that covers 2023 in review and gives us an idea of what to expect from the studio for 2024. Now they don't come right out and tell us all the stuff we'll be getting but we do have a clear idea that Flameheart will return, the sandbox will be enriched, and that performance will be a focus. I also wanted to take some time to dive into the beta for Skull and Bones that happened this last month. I didn't get to talk about past experiences, so I wanted to set up expectations for folks who might start seeing the marketing or conversation about this in the coming months. Outside of that, I hope you all had a fantastic holiday regardless of whether or not you celebrated, and a safe and fun New Year!

This year is almost over and with it we get to take a look at our summary for marvel at all the random stats we've accomplished. I'm really glad to have had the Gold Hoarders come and hang out with me for the end of the year and I hope you have a good holiday!

This week in Sea of Thieves we got another Sea of News update that dives into what we can expect for December for events and cosmetics as well as Drew going into details about what's an acceptable exploit and what isn't. I also cover my thoughts on the community weekend and how it's going and what I think should be done to improve the experience for players even if it hurts the marketing aspect. All that and more on this week's episode.
