"While we announced cross-stamp matchmaking in the January edition of SoT News, a critical issue was uncovered during final testing. To ensure the stability of our matchmaking as it stands, we've pulled this feature from today's release and will deliver it following further testing when we can implement it with greater confidence."
In today's video I talk about the big changes coming to Season 8 Sea of Thieves. There are fixes to matchmaking, exploits and more! The new adventure starts tomorrow as well where we'll be helping Tasha to find out more about Briggsy's past.

Supplies boxes should be free. Change my mind. Also now I can get to level 100 faster, I have 0 wins xd
-
I always thought how weird it was that fruit and wood crates cost waay less then a storage crate
-
I think the change that give reputation for someone that go out of circle is most likly for solo sloopers, cuz there is strat to just spawn kill guy on opposite sloop and just go out of bound.
-
Excited to have battles closer to outposts for quicker resupply after a long fight where both boats run low. Also, cross-stamp will be huge for not only queue times and opponent variety, but should allow for more accurate skill-based matchmaking especially during slower times of the day.
-
I really like all of these changes! Especially the rep increase and storage crate "discount"! I never buy storage crates sind I don't make much money a session and am therefor too greedy, lol. Also I think shortening the grind to Guardians or Servants is nice and won't take away much from the fun (if any at all), since rewards won't get interesting befor 100 anyways. Thanks for the informational video! :)

Thank god. I'm level 87 and have been playing less and less. Now I can grind out those last 13 levels.
-
There's a glitch at the moment where fire bombs aren't visible when certain enemies throw them on your ship. Drives me crazy, hoping they fix it soon. Only happened twice but both when I've been in battle 😅
-
This should really help more casual people get back into it since the queue times aren't gonna be 3 hours lol

omg those are some great changes!
-
Yeah I’m more eager now, considering I’ll be levelling up regardless. I guess a win is a bonus. Kinda like old Arena. But! They need to do something about crews who run whilst in the battle mode.
-
it be cool if they removed the limit for the treasure chests that u can put loot in and that u could carry more in than greatly but that’s just my opinion ok
-
I love most of the changes except for the 50 new zone, if they are too close from an Outpost, a lot of people are going to have long blackscreen and that honestly would give a huge advantage to the crew with better hardware
-
I think the reaper flag emissary bonus is to encourage people who are too scared to have the mark on the map up. I’ve fought so many reapers who don’t realise emissary flags. It’s frustrating that they’re all too frightened to take the risk. And seems silly to me.
-
Maybe now I can lose my way to my ghost curse! (I suck at pvp I don't try to intentionally lose lmao)
-
Nice Video^^
-
Good change to the crate exploit, now remove stacking crates on capstan and we are golden!
-
I think they should grant allegiance based on how many players you killed, cannonballs you hit, mastshots you did during the fight and if you win you get like 25%, which stacks. So if you have a streak of 4 you get double the allegiance. If you lose, you still get a lot of allegiance if you fought good, and no allegiance if you throw the match.
-
These changes are very nice, and I might decide to give the Season 8 fights a shot now that the losses will sting less. I am very bad at PVP, and wouldn't find it worth my time without these
-
Hope they fixed captaincy’s supplies .I can’t bought it for 3 week now 😅
