I like that they are actually looking at changes that are making the game feel more in depth but HG not being separated is kinda a bummer. The 1 hour cooldown might be good but them saying that 2 HG battles happening at the same time is “rare” I doubt I see it happen all the time
From the introduction of Spotlight modes and the results of Season 21's no diving experiment to an upcoming Hourglass trial and news of an unexpected Curse, we can only suggest you get comfortable for this Developer Update. Production Director Drew's got a lot to cover!
Sea of Thieves Developer Update: November 5th 2026

If you want any more proof Rare have no interest in holding J0toro accountable for her role in the Bruno situation, here she is yesterday playing last ship standing on her second account.
But atleast you're not allowed to mention her in the #seaofthieves official discord now.
This shit is just teaming central fuck this this bring back arena

A few days ago, 268 people lost their jobs across @XBOX, including many at @RareLtd.
Community Managers @j0toro and @mopwielder were not among them, despite their involvement in elevating a known predator (Bruno) within the Sea of Thieves community.
XBOX makes $20+ billion a year. You're telling me there was no motivation or energy to hold certain employees accountable for something this serious, but plenty of energy to lay off hundreds of others?
We're talking about employees who knew about Bruno's disgusting behavior toward minors, yet still promoted him into a position of influence (Boatswain) despite multiple warnings from many players which were all ignored.
When even more evidence came to light, Rare launched an "internal investigation". Yet instead of addressing what happened and removing & banning anyone who was involved with him, they introduced new policies that made discussing said employees, moderators, or any of the Bruno situation a bannable and blockable offense under its new "witch-hunting" rules.
During this investigation, J0toro deleted many of her interactions with Bruno to prevent her from looking affilated in any way.
@asha_shar @mattbooty Please look into these individuals at Rare. We've been asking for accountability on this for months.
You guys have been on a role since Asha became CEO, so please don't overlook this. Get Sea of Thieves back on track.
The emporium is about to go crazy af
So Rare is now under Activision. Is this what was needed...

To all SoT Partners:
Those of you who said earlier this year that you’d step down if nothing changed, now is the time to stand by those words.
No accountability or action was taken by Rare. Their internal investigation did nothing but waste everyone’s time and give them months to just eventually double down.
On top of that, this new partner policy restricts what you can and can’t say to your own audience, while Rare gets to decide what they consider “inappropriate” or “abusive”.
For example: If you say “I believe J0toro and Shirah should be fired for elevating a known predator in the community.” That now falls under abuse or witch hunting, and you risk your partnership.
That is censorship. It’s disgusting, and it paves the way for those responsible to avoid accountability.
You shouldn’t be forced to, but if you meant what you said before, step down.
Your voice is louder than ours. Use it.

Lol, you can't even post emojis on official discord anymore.
You can silence people as much as you want.
This will never change a fact that Rare employee contracted by Xbox, promoted child predator on official Sea of Thieves game and media.

New rules in the SoT Discord:
With these rules they'll be able to bring back j0toro, whilst anyone opposing will be instabanned. Almost as if the heavy moderation and silencing of concerns previously paved the way for exploitation of minors... nothing changes... #SeaofThieves 1/2
These new changes from the current 1984 CM team prove:
They don’t care about concerns from their community.
They only care about/protect the people in their click.
They don’t care about literally crimes their “friends” make.
They only want to control the narrative.
Funny how they are taking the wrong turn again. According to this they should ban half of their mods and voluntary “mods” (abusers of power). Nothing is changing. Clever use of copy paste right there..
