“Sea of Thieves is a social multiplayer game. Communication is critical,” sayeth the devs. But what if players don’t want to use voice chat in the game?
This issue is one of several that Rare is exploring following feedback from the technical alpha tests. The studio said that they found that some players don’t want to use voice chat and would prefer to be with others who are in (ahem) the same boat. To this end, Rare is exploring a non-verbal communication system as well as a matchmaking system to pair up communication types.
Other issues that the team is examining include the durability of skeletons and the visibility of player ships to each other across the vast reaches of the ocean. You can catch up with all the latest Sea of Thieves goings-on after the jump.
