I tried to play "Sea of Thieves" and gave up entirely after about an hour. They have a feature where the majority can vote to send someone to the brig, where you can't do anything, except apparently drown if your teammates sink the ship. Then you get to come back to life, in the brig still. I never even got a chance to play the game, so there was no reason to vote me out other than just to troll. And this happened repeatedly with every crew I was matched up with.
There may be valid cases for these "vote to kick" features, but they do get blatantly abused as well. I don't think they're a good replacement for more intelligent matchmaking.
- Fabricio20 7y agoHey, some personal experience here: Sea of Thieves had an issue in the past where you couldn't _lock_ your ship, and it's a forced-multiplayer game. Which, the way I see it, made this brig thing get abused. Basically all you wanted was to play with your close friends, but you had 3 players not 4, so you can't go with the small ship (2 players) but the big ship (4 players) had one extra slot (and forced public). So you would just end up sending said extra unfortunate player to the brig since said player could just well go and cause havoc by several means (turning the ship/setting sail to somewhere not related to where you wanted to go, firing on "allied" ships (or even just at everyone), etc..). Not saying this was your case, but it surely happened with me and my friends. Things changed however, nowadays we have a 3-player ship and you can lock your ship to private mode only, so you can also go 4-player galleon with only yourself in it. It's an awesome game (that keeps getting more awesome) and hope you can have another go at it!
- nirvdrum 7y agoThanks for the info. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
