My best advice for new players- just have fun. You going to sink, and lose all the time. Don't worry about that. Just try to enjoy actually playing, and don't take those losses so seriously. You'll find the game so much more fun!
imo one of the things that Rare should do is to bring back Adventures, or at the very least the old ones altogether in a single menu, playable at any moment, plus all their rewards
Don't leave your ship anchored. Always check the horizon. Get decent supplies. Rotate for cannon angles. You are better than half the ships out there now.
Ease yourself in and get comfy with the ship in PVE, then try doing hourglass, even if you lose over and over, it helps. You can beat nearly anyone in open seas when you are experienced in PVP.
same, everyone wanted new content, allot of what we got was very good, but allot of it was unnecessarily complicated (captaincy), and I still don't feel any real reason to grind the game, and that would be fine if I could come across people n the actual game, and have fun interactions or whatever, but at the moment it just seems if anyone wants to fight, they go to hourglass, which defeats the entire feeling of sporadic encounters in the game.
I hear we're getting new hunter's call update in '25. I swear when i first played the sailor eye of reach had a slim bottle but i seems to me like a trick of the memory. Also i hope we get an easier way to guild sail as a fleet of 2 or more ships (ofc the server ship limit should be upped to 12 if this happened) i feel that would make joining/sailing in a guild much more fun and tactical -NickLost05 aka "Milkman"
I dont think reaching Pirate Legend should be an "end game" type goal. It should be only the beginning. You should get it quickly to enjoy all its perks and then go do EVERYTHING ELSE.
i am most excited for the hunters call update i hope they add some voyages where you can track down and fight the kraken or megalodon. maybe you could get lucky and happen to hunt a shrouded ghost. - yerimlol
Fandeesson37 - I haven't played the game in about 2 years and I am itching to get back into it. I am excited to experience the new weapons and weapon mechanics the devs released recently!! I am also very excited to get back into hourglass pvp!:)
Very nicely done, wish I would have watched videos when I first started, instead of blindly diving in the deepend..hahaha.. I agree that PL is billed often as an end game goal, but should be more of a first benchmark you should strive for, then getting prestige 1 in all factions or switch to PVP and go for the Ghost and bones. The number of items to own and Accomedations to get is insane and will probably take me a life time to complete them. Thanks for what you do. tonedeaf3096
I did the opposite just went in blindly without watching any guides Tbh it was more fun this way because I got to explore sot on my own It's been 2 yrs since I last played I think But I think I'll dive back in again after new year's I'm excited
New players should try to conquer their fear of PVP encounters and try and fight rather than run more often. PVE alone will eventually get boring and imo PVP is the best thing this game has to offer. Get good and you’ll have a lot of fun 🎉. A week of taking fights and you will probably be better than 90% of the player base
crazy how fast that year went
scary too

BearDen192---I cant wait for Rare to add rewards for Guardians of Fortune up to level 500 just like they did with Servants of the Flame

I dropped sea of thieves since captaincy update. I loved the old simple formula

you flipped merchants and reapers. whenever you run merchants people will actively target you and when you run reapers most people leave you alone
