I fear no cosmetics more then someone who's actually made their own coherent outfit out of a multitude of different sets, they tend to be good at the game without feeling the need to show off. I'm the outlier here, I just like playing dress up.
I personally don’t attack people unless they attack me mainly with sailors and swabies and due to that I have had some really wholesome experiences and probably made some people stick with the game
Same with me. I am just fine with you doing your thing as long as you let me do my thing. The second you start shooting at me your dead or I am but we are no longer friends anymore and they will not be fixable
I remember I Met a all gold skeleton guy, dude was the nicest man I’ve ever met and when I asked how he looks that cool bro just stayed silent and then went “is grass blue?” Immediately knew bro hasn’t seen sunlight 😂, now I run pvp with him every so often, love that skeleton boy
I'll say this, most ghost and skele curse users tend to overestimate their skill and go into fights that they CANNOT win. I've had an experience with a verdant bone buckethead skeleton doing a solo galley, trying to sink me and my buddy on a sloop while we were doing a fort of fortune, and everytime we killed him he called cheats and aimbot. (that was before season 9) My guy couldn't hit the broadside of a barn even if he tried. Wanna know the worst thing? He came for us like 6 times in a row. The guy was relentlessly trying to kill us. and once we completed the fort and got all the stuff, he funny launched onto our boat (we didnt hear the cannons) and started spouting racial slurs.
I personally rock the ashen curse because of the story i made for myself as a pirate. My first ever voyage was into the devil’s roar, so wearing that curse is like paying homage to my first hours playing the game and exploring the world. It may make me look like a noob, but it makes me happy 🤷🏼♂️
@@TheAshenDragonI also really enjoy the ashen set but don’t let it feel you I’m far from a green sailor and will sink those who try to fool with me quickly cosmetics don’t really mean anything about one’s skill some of the worst players I’ve come against have had some very cool sets
I raise you, and give you the fisherman that looks like a cursed swabbie. I like to dive into hourglass dressed as a banana-hat wearing seahobo with legendary hunter of the sea of thieves title, while rocking stock shipset except fate of fortune figurehead, and the sunken corral (the ones that take up half the screen) cannons. The kind of ship a beginner looks at and thinks 'what a noob, i can take him on.' While an experienced one would consider a concern at second glance, and one that a seasoned sailor looks at, and weeps in confused panic. Still have some servant hg to grind out, but just about maxed out the psychological warfare skill tree.
thank you someone who gets it, im playing to be a pirate and have fun with other pirates not to kill everyone i see, pirate legend doesnt make you good at the game
All the loss farmers are getting the skeleton and ghost curses now, I saw someone on a sloop with skeleton curse and calling him bad would be an understatement I'm amazed he knew his left from right
Can vouch. I am a terrible pirate but I have acquired the curse through a mixture of genuine victories and dice rolls. I did start improving as I worked up towards 100, but after about the 115-120 point I started slacking, and now I'm plain putrid at the game again XD
There’s now a hierarchy within the curses though. Basic looking Shelly’s or glow sticks aren’t scary anymore. There’s certain cosmetics that the loss farmers will never have though. Verdant bones is one of them. You see those or golden bones, you run. You’re prey to that pirate.
@@kingoknighty I got the green bones can’t be loss farmed have to get to at least level 100 before that grind even begins then it’s 50 4 streaks no one who has the green bones is a bad player someone may be better but they are not bad by that point I also play with tons of former nal and current LBH players and can say for a fact pretty much everyone with the gold skelly or ghost curse will beat nearly everyone in the game hardly nobody loss farms those it’s to much of a grind I have seen tons of people saying gold doesn’t mean anything but have yet to see a bot who has it they may lose everyone does but they are by no means bad
I had missed out on the legendary eyes curse so to me having to earn it feels great as I had to work hard to earn it. Feels more like an achievement getting level 105 especially when I don’t play as often as I used to
Same, that's the only curse I really care for (still don't have it though), and HG is a pain nowadays with all the cheaters and DG sweats around. But when I get it, it will probably be the hardest obtainable curse for me at this point lol!

I like to help new people, but more than that I love to disguise myself as a crab-lord swabbie. People think I'm a hatchling at the game and usually attack since they figure it's easy pickings... Lots of fun to turn things around and begin mollywhopping them ;)
i hate that i play the game knowing usually a cosmetic that i want and looks cool, makes me look like an easy target. i just want cosmetics because they look cool to me, and it makes me look basic or bad.
For most of the time I played sea of thieves I didn’t know what I was doing and just played for fun and I had no idea that you could do something with an emissary so I’m now grinding for pirate legend and am 70 percent done
If they ever make a skeleton version of the reaper outfit, im very curious to see what kind of reputation it gains. Since you will need the skelly curse to get it. Also i very much am an outlier, im medium skill at pvp on a good day, but i have gold hoarder curse and skelly curse. I didnt get them with skill, i got them with perseverance. I will have the gold bones like 2 years from now cause ill just keep playing till i get it for the sake of fashion
@@AShinyRay I don’t actually remember the fight but usually people say my naval is good but the minute they get a good board on me it’s usually game over ggs anyways

Remember, back in the day when you saw somebody who was wearing the Reapers outfit and had Reaper sails you were like “oh shit these guys are gonna be a tough fight let’s get out of here!” And now if you see someone with Reapers outfit and sails you go “oh shit, easy win and free loot!”

I have met mixelplxx 3 times I think and two of them he was wearing ashen curse, there is nothing else to say about him though he can wear anything and still be the goat. Great video
As an insider I feel personally attacked. I do none of those bad things. I wear my costume because it shows how much time and dedication of put into this game and that I'm a knowledgeable pirate
Trashen dragon :). Sunken Sorrow curse is actually very easy, you don't need to complete shrines. Someone in the crew can just buy they voyage for you.
It’s best to ignore cosmetic sets entirely and focus on behavior. Making premature judgement calls is how you wind up demasted in a broadside. Instead focus on the first few minutes of the engagement. Anchor status, lights, speed of sail adjustment, and ship positioning all speak more than a ship set. Movement, bb use, accuracy, and health management give more away than any hat or curse. A good crews cannon shots will become more accurate as smoke trails provide range information. If the enemies shots go from missing entirely to constantly hitting the ship by the second salvo, play that engagement _very_ conservatively.
to note insiders also help Rare in finding bugs and other issues before it is release, the rewards are a nice gift to basically assisting in finding something they may had missed
You know what is scary? A fisherman sloop with the orca set and Merchant Galeon in alliance. That looked like a overprotective hippo mother with her baby. Bro they deleted us.
Yeah I use the merrick tattoo, scars and the Shark Slayer title and the drums too. Sometimes the blue Meg figurehead combined with the day one eyepatch and goldcurse. And I wear the Black Sea Dog set including the Midnight Blunderbuss and rest of the set. Ah and sometimes the year one stuff (the Sails are so bright :D). Would be interesting where this stuff is on your list :D
@@postaldudesniper6553 haha yeah i would i think but they are so rare never saw a ship with one of those sails but i saw a sloop with the black Reaper sails but this guy was very chilled :)
Ain’t gonna lie it may be nooby but I rock all the ashen dragon stuff because it by far looks the coolest and no amount of experience gonna make me ever change my mind
1:06 fair enough My fav sets are generally easy to get But they do look epic Edit: btw I think it’s ok to bring back cosmetics with exception to stuff like the day 1 patch
Oddly enough the Season 8 sails seem to me to be an exception to the rule of "The older the season sails, the better the player". I've seen more good ships than noobs using them
The problem is that they are deceiving, a triumphant seadog who can’t sink a skelly ship, a sailor who can give you a beating, a DA sailed server alliancer, a trashin dragon who will stand on the bow-spread and yell you suck, a pl who runs straight into a rock, etc
The worst players are usualy the dark advanturer sail, they feel that this sail give them an incredible advandage because they can see 2 pixels more than you, despite the fact that this sail is never gonna make you win alone
I feel ya. I was sailing around wearing skelly curse and found a gally full of noobs. When I tried to be friendly, two of them boarded and tried to attack me. All I did was hold block (cuz they were noobs) and they called me a really bad fighter. All while I was wearing the skelly curse after sinking 150 ships
I tucked on a ship and then saw 2 vegan bones. I just left to find my mermaid. Haven't managed one 4 streak, y'all are just gonna kill me even if I get lucky.
I like to sport basic stuff, sailor jacket, whatever hat that I like that day and little hints that ive been around forever; Hungering one scar, day one eye patch and maybe the subtle black dog belt. Its funny you said "They care more about the fashion, lol yeah it do be like that. But I have the black dog and ferryman folded nicely in my clothing chest as well as some other treasures ill show off every now and then.
Me as a casual player, who started about 6 months ago. I just want to play the game and dress up as i like, i dont care what people think, i just wanna enjoy the game.
Just a quick tip so then you don’t have a solo slooper who isn’t even pirate legend nearly solo your brig (from personal experience i was the solo slooper) Don’t attack them when their doing an ashen winds this is because they’ll def react by moving their boat and then the ashen lord will turn to you and spam their brimstone rock attack every second which inflicts a lot of burning and a very high tier hole and these things WILL SPAM them so whilst your getting a barrage of hellish brimstone rocks burning and sinking ur ship ur dealing with a spawn camping solo slooper stopping u from doing repairs
"Play for 10 minutes to finish the season pass" Best line and true! lmao! XD Also, I know of a server alliance that cheeses anything in the game but still have the skill level of trying to blunderbuss a meg from a mile away. So I don't really care about others cosmetics until I fight them and see what they are like. The only thing that truly never fails, are kraken, hunter and crab sets, ashen sets and PL stuff. I usually leave those alone or help them, until they attack me that is. All the rest is a roll of the dice really, I have never encountered a good ghost curse user, but have been crapped on by emporium pirates.
Sovereign pirates like myself are the greenest aside from the veteran fishermen 😩🙏 We just like looking fancy and sailing the seas to show off our sexy loot, not to mention- the armor looks brilliant!
I actually joined an open crew with a guy with the ashen curse. He was rude to the crew and acted like he knew everything. He's been playing sea of thieves for apparently 5 years, and yet he has fewer trophies than people I know who have been playing for 2 months
Me actually just wearing the basic pirate legend outfit and the ashen curse because I like it. While iv been playing since almost the beginning of the game…
Currently, I sport the Black Dog but I don't care for the cosmetics as much as the gameplay. I switch out though whenever a crew is doing a specific task, like legend of the veil requires PL outfits and GH vaults require GH outfits :) New cosmetics are nice once in a while but tend to get old when they give it out like candy... there's a reason I stopped playing D2, hopefully Rare can learn from that as well.
Sailor outfit scares me the most to be honest, either a cheater or a very good player every time. mostly in hourglass they will be good tho because thats where all the sweatys are residing :D i use flower headband, merchant shirt, yellow skirt with white gloves
I think there’s a few exceptions. I’ve been rocking my pirate emporium costume of Sea of Sand since I bought it and I consider myself pretty good at the game. I’ve been playing before Seasons. I think you can judge based on stereotypes. I do agree with that. But there will always be wildcards that will rock a certain outfit or costume that will not be on par with their skill level.
Yesterday was my first time playing in almost 2 years and i found a nice skeleton curse user who helped me and my friend out with a order of souls boss fight, they didnt steal a thing which i thought was really cool
Either someone duplicated your character a few months back, or our crew ran into you at Reapers. Your character brought us a chest of rage, and we left. We assumed it was the deal since the ship was positioned in a way that it was over lol. I have it recorded on my pc, would love to find out if you recall it or if it was you. I had gamer tags off on hud.
I rock the dark warsmith ship and costume because I like the deep red and dark gold, but also use the gold hoarder jacket often because it's a pretty good jacket.
I've got Black Dog and Ferryman clothing sets, hungering scar/tattoo, day one eye patch, launch crew eye of reach, year one pirate legend sails... you absolutely do not need to fear me in PvP. I mostly PvE, and I've taken several long breaks from the game.
Lol, Crash Bandicoot 3 music in the background. 🤣 Also, I'm surprised you didn't put in the day 1 patch or the hungering one tattoos. I'd love to see where you'd put that on the tier list.
4:22 he look jus like me fr (except I’m skinnier ofc lol) If I’m gonna play a pirate game, I gotta look like a pirate and that is the best look imo. Especially with the forsaken ashes tattoo because it makes me look like I’m wearing a necklace. They really need to add more jewelry
all i know is anytime i stop using the basic sovereign and sailor set and ball out with the full gold hoarder set i get sunk four times in a row. even more if i rock the tribute peak stuff.
i was so proud of my order of souls curse and my midnight mask... seeing the thumbnail and the title I thought I would get praise... just to hear this... just wait till I come across you scoundrel... I will prove you wrong and will make you taste the salty see
Yeeeeeah as a costume runner myself (the season 8 ravenwood set) I can confirm I don't put up much of a fight on the seas by my self, but idc how many times I sink, or ppl complain about "unfair mechanics" (yeah I'm looking at you ashen curse players that complain to me when if I kill them with double gunning) Both me & my fiancee have fallen in love with this game & have spent the last 4 months raiding, treasure hunting, & having fun making new friends. It's one of the best communities I've been apart of since warframe
Called out! i am a year one. have the rum bottle eye of reach, shark bite scars, tattoos, etc. left cause everyone was in arena. came back last month not because it was removed but i missed cruising around. I am happy its gone there was no sense of danger with arena since everyone was there instead of adventure. Honestly though, not great at PVP, but I can out sail just about anyone. Personally I enjoy any and all Sea Dog or Order of Souls cosmetics. the Pirate Legend stuff always looked goofy to me.
I run a mix of the ferryman set from the controller… with one, maybe two other peices depending on my mood! And im returning training up a whole new crew! I boycotted Sot while Depps trial was going on cuz i didnt want to give a cent to disney but the point has been made and that whole thing is over
I personally enjoy looking like a noob with the shen curse and wild rose cosmetics. Its great for baiting people into thinoing itll be an easy win and lower their guard. Same reason why I sometimes leave my ship with the default appearance so people think Im new and get over confident
As a bone head here, I am definitely the outlier. I don’t like to fight but I will if it’s convenient. I usually just like seeing if people have any creative banter in PvP games I do occasionally play
hahaha. I love this. I rock the rose outfit for this exact reason. People think i'm fodder xD I rarely meet beginner outfitted people that aren't complete sweats.
Be wary of all pirates you meet.. no matter what clothing they have, it means very little in terms of skill. that is how I often deal with any random players I meet, be wary and be ready to fight.
A few days ago a was playing the pvp mode and sank a dude who had the golden ghost curse, he was stacking emissary flags and had over 20 of just the reaper lvl 5 emissary flags, thank the lord he was a solo 💀
As a skelle curse owner who preffers using the ashen curse in open seas, I can confirm that Ashen curse gives u are debuff.. I donno how, but it does..
My list is a mix of the legendary set with the Rose set because the purple kinda compliments the red and white so it fits well dress up for pirates is fun!
I played way back in the day. I didn't really get into the game but I have some old gear from back then. I remember when masts couldn't be shot down or when the only food choice was the banana. It was never the pvp that drove me away. I just never got into the game until more recently.
Saw a guy saying how nice he is lol. I just messed up a whole galleon crew doing tall tales and stole a sloop duo's ship while they were in a shrine :D
Getting pirate legend takes 16 hours if you have over 100 hours in the game already. I was level 47 in merchants and order of souls when I stopped playing after 100 hours 3 years ago and it's been at least 16 hours with me and my friends since it went on sale on steam for Christmas and I'm 50 order of souls and 49 merchants
I really like the skelly curse. Not bcuz it’s op or something, but because I like the way it looks. Even tho I’m too bad at the game to even dream of gettin it 🤷♂️
I literally just like dressing cool lol. I have a admiral looking set, a regular pirate set, a dressed down set and a really dressed down set. I do rock the hungering deep tattoos at all times tho
Yea it's fun to to see a ship and start judging them based off their cosmetics. Funny list. Another good indicator is the way they manage their sails but that could be another video? That's usually my confirmation on a new crew.
or even ship names, un-captained ships tend to be the most braindead players.I have yet to see anyone as im gonna call it (sailor smurfing) ie: pretending to be bad, with the ship system. me and my buddy recently caught on to some of these guys while stacking fotd by checking their ship logs
I fear no cosmetics more then someone who's actually made their own coherent outfit out of a multitude of different sets, they tend to be good at the game without feeling the need to show off.
I'm the outlier here, I just like playing dress up.
Me too. Ashen Curse for the win!
Absolutely agree! Both from experience and POV! :)
I use skeleton curse, but because I like skeleton, not to show off.
Same here. Made my outfit using parts of the forsaken ashes, grimmer jacket, mercenary pieces, and ashen dragon pieces.
Completely unique and I’ve not seen one person replicate it
I personally don’t attack people unless they attack me mainly with sailors and swabies and due to that I have had some really wholesome experiences and probably made some people stick with the game
Same here
Must be boring playing that way is it not?

Sunken Sorrow curse is actually very easy, you don't need to complete shrines. Someone in the crew can just buy they voyage for you.
same with gold curse tbh. you can get the 5 completions for each tall tale by checkpoints from other players.
i still like the design though.
It’s best to ignore cosmetic sets entirely and focus on behavior. Making premature judgement calls is how you wind up demasted in a broadside.
Instead focus on the first few minutes of the engagement. Anchor status, lights, speed of sail adjustment, and ship positioning all speak more than a ship set.
Movement, bb use, accuracy, and health management give more away than any hat or curse.
A good crews cannon shots will become more accurate as smoke trails provide range information. If the enemies shots go from missing entirely to constantly hitting the ship by the second salvo, play that engagement _very_ conservatively.
to note insiders also help Rare in finding bugs and other issues before it is release, the rewards are a nice gift to basically assisting in finding something they may had missed
You know what is scary?
A fisherman sloop with the orca set and Merchant Galeon in alliance. That looked like a overprotective hippo mother with her baby. Bro they deleted us.
Yeah I use the merrick tattoo, scars and the Shark Slayer title and the drums too. Sometimes the blue Meg figurehead combined with the day one eyepatch and goldcurse. And I wear the Black Sea Dog set including the Midnight Blunderbuss and rest of the set. Ah and sometimes the year one stuff (the Sails are so bright :D). Would be interesting where this stuff is on your list :D
@@legendaryoutlaw3534 Shits Himself seeing the NAL and SOC sails.*
@@postaldudesniper6553 haha yeah i would i think but they are so rare never saw a ship with one of those sails but i saw a sloop with the black Reaper sails but this guy was very chilled :)
@@legendaryoutlaw3534 Those kind of people are nice.
Ain’t gonna lie it may be nooby but I rock all the ashen dragon stuff because it by far looks the coolest and no amount of experience gonna make me ever change my mind
U forgot the female pirates that don’t wear anything but a shirt
I miss where you had to actually go to the devils roar to obtain the ashen set
1:06 fair enough
My fav sets are generally easy to get
But they do look epic
Edit: btw I think it’s ok to bring back cosmetics with exception to stuff like the day 1 patch
same i just rock the jacket with the curse it just looks so good ig im part of the 5% 😅🤣
Oddly enough the Season 8 sails seem to me to be an exception to the rule of "The older the season sails, the better the player". I've seen more good ships than noobs using them
if they have the Dark Adventurer Jacket and it fits with their outfit then they are alright at the game and everything else shows they are terrible
The problem is that they are deceiving, a triumphant seadog who can’t sink a skelly ship, a sailor who can give you a beating, a DA sailed server alliancer, a trashin dragon who will stand on the bow-spread and yell you suck, a pl who runs straight into a rock, etc
You speak the absolute truth about golden boys. one time I fought one in HG, and he sank me in 15 seconds. I’m not kidding. Not a single shot missed😢
The worst players are usualy the dark advanturer sail, they feel that this sail give them an incredible advandage because they can see 2 pixels more than you, despite the fact that this sail is never gonna make you win alone
Verdant bones enjoyer here. So little of the community even understands what the skelly curse is, let alone what verdant bones signify 😞
I feel ya. I was sailing around wearing skelly curse and found a gally full of noobs. When I tried to be friendly, two of them boarded and tried to attack me. All I did was hold block (cuz they were noobs) and they called me a really bad fighter. All while I was wearing the skelly curse after sinking 150 ships
I tucked on a ship and then saw 2 vegan bones. I just left to find my mermaid. Haven't managed one 4 streak, y'all are just gonna kill me even if I get lucky.
I like to sport basic stuff, sailor jacket, whatever hat that I like that day and little hints that ive been around forever; Hungering one scar, day one eye patch and maybe the subtle black dog belt. Its funny you said "They care more about the fashion, lol yeah it do be like that. But I have the black dog and ferryman folded nicely in my clothing chest as well as some other treasures ill show off every now and then.
7:25 shush we do not sit afk an hour a week, we move once each 10 minutes to not get kicked
i'm regularly astonished by the incompetence of pirates dressed in the full pirate legend outfit. it's like they've never shot a cannon before
Me as a casual player, who started about 6 months ago.
I just want to play the game and dress up as i like, i dont care what people think, i just wanna enjoy the game.
right. i love all the bold, absurd over the top, colored outfits cause i personally find them fun!
Just a quick tip so then you don’t have a solo slooper who isn’t even pirate legend nearly solo your brig (from personal experience i was the solo slooper)
Don’t attack them when their doing an ashen winds this is because they’ll def react by moving their boat and then the ashen lord will turn to you and spam their brimstone rock attack every second which inflicts a lot of burning and a very high tier hole and these things WILL SPAM them so whilst your getting a barrage of hellish brimstone rocks burning and sinking ur ship ur dealing with a spawn camping solo slooper stopping u from doing repairs
"Play for 10 minutes to finish the season pass" Best line and true! lmao! XD
Also, I know of a server alliance that cheeses anything in the game but still have the skill level of trying to blunderbuss a meg from a mile away. So I don't really care about others cosmetics until I fight them and see what they are like.
The only thing that truly never fails, are kraken, hunter and crab sets, ashen sets and PL stuff. I usually leave those alone or help them, until they attack me that is. All the rest is a roll of the dice really, I have never encountered a good ghost curse user, but have been crapped on by emporium pirates.
I never feel like I’m that good at pvp, but then I’ll have a few hourglass matches that make me feel like I can take down a galleon by myself
Sovereign pirates like myself are the greenest aside from the veteran fishermen 😩🙏
We just like looking fancy and sailing the seas to show off our sexy loot, not to mention- the armor looks brilliant!
I actually joined an open crew with a guy with the ashen curse. He was rude to the crew and acted like he knew everything. He's been playing sea of thieves for apparently 5 years, and yet he has fewer trophies than people I know who have been playing for 2 months
I just like dressing up as my own pirate and roll play. I love the kraken curse because you look like your part of a heavy metal band
Me actually just wearing the basic pirate legend outfit and the ashen curse because I like it. While iv been playing since almost the beginning of the game…
Currently, I sport the Black Dog but I don't care for the cosmetics as much as the gameplay. I switch out though whenever a crew is doing a specific task, like legend of the veil requires PL outfits and GH vaults require GH outfits :) New cosmetics are nice once in a while but tend to get old when they give it out like candy... there's a reason I stopped playing D2, hopefully Rare can learn from that as well.
I rock an Emporium outfit (Lodestar) just because I like how it looks for me. However, I've been playing since launch.
Sailor outfit scares me the most to be honest, either a cheater or a very good player every time. mostly in hourglass they will be good tho because thats where all the sweatys are residing :D i use flower headband, merchant shirt, yellow skirt with white gloves
I run the Reapers fit cause it’s the only way to represent them being a month into the game lol, only 20 more allegiance for my curse tho
did you get it???
I'm personnally rocking the Day One eye patch, with First year athena sword and Launch Crew Sniper
Can't get any older than that
I think there’s a few exceptions. I’ve been rocking my pirate emporium costume of Sea of Sand since I bought it and I consider myself pretty good at the game. I’ve been playing before Seasons.
I think you can judge based on stereotypes. I do agree with that. But there will always be wildcards that will rock a certain outfit or costume that will not be on par with their skill level.
2:40 the spyro music nice
Yesterday was my first time playing in almost 2 years and i found a nice skeleton curse user who helped me and my friend out with a order of souls boss fight, they didnt steal a thing which i thought was really cool
Either someone duplicated your character a few months back, or our crew ran into you at Reapers. Your character brought us a chest of rage, and we left. We assumed it was the deal since the ship was positioned in a way that it was over lol. I have it recorded on my pc, would love to find out if you recall it or if it was you. I had gamer tags off on hud.
I rock the dark warsmith ship and costume because I like the deep red and dark gold, but also use the gold hoarder jacket often because it's a pretty good jacket.
Calcified is a cool way of describing someone with the bone curse, but for the record ossified is just a cooler and more correct word.
Nah if i see a gold ghost or skeleton im skutteling and server hopping lol
This may be the worst ever. You can’t just say every outfit is 50/50 on the player being good
he didn't tho..
Womp womp 😢
1:27 Thank you for acknowledging us.
I've got Black Dog and Ferryman clothing sets, hungering scar/tattoo, day one eye patch, launch crew eye of reach, year one pirate legend sails... you absolutely do not need to fear me in PvP. I mostly PvE, and I've taken several long breaks from the game.
Ive met at least three people each with the gold PvP curses, and I can confirm, they do not touch grass.
Nah so many NPCs tho especially the gold curse users on Xbox are extremely bad, not the first time I sunk or tdmed one and they called cheats
@@wiliam291extremely bad? Come get the smoke anytime buddy
@@messy908 idk about u but it doesn't translate to skill the avg lvl 1000 curse isn't nearly as good as let's say lsds in of arena
I don't think they know what grass is anymore
as a sunken sorrow pirate, lmao m1 spamming after an eye of reach shot is so accurate
Lol, Crash Bandicoot 3 music in the background. 🤣 Also, I'm surprised you didn't put in the day 1 patch or the hungering one tattoos. I'd love to see where you'd put that on the tier list.
4:22 he look jus like me fr (except I’m skinnier ofc lol) If I’m gonna play a pirate game, I gotta look like a pirate and that is the best look imo. Especially with the forsaken ashes tattoo because it makes me look like I’m wearing a necklace. They really need to add more jewelry
all i know is anytime i stop using the basic sovereign and sailor set and ball out with the full gold hoarder set i get sunk four times in a row. even more if i rock the tribute peak stuff.
i was so proud of my order of souls curse and my midnight mask... seeing the thumbnail and the title I thought I would get praise... just to hear this... just wait till I come across you scoundrel... I will prove you wrong and will make you taste the salty see
Yeeeeeah as a costume runner myself (the season 8 ravenwood set) I can confirm I don't put up much of a fight on the seas by my self, but idc how many times I sink, or ppl complain about "unfair mechanics" (yeah I'm looking at you ashen curse players that complain to me when if I kill them with double gunning)
Both me & my fiancee have fallen in love with this game & have spent the last 4 months raiding, treasure hunting, & having fun making new friends. It's one of the best communities I've been apart of since warframe
OMG i just got the reapers costume last night lol What he says in this video is pretty much spot on.
Called out! i am a year one. have the rum bottle eye of reach, shark bite scars, tattoos, etc. left cause everyone was in arena. came back last month not because it was removed but i missed cruising around. I am happy its gone there was no sense of danger with arena since everyone was there instead of adventure. Honestly though, not great at PVP, but I can out sail just about anyone. Personally I enjoy any and all Sea Dog or Order of Souls cosmetics. the Pirate Legend stuff always looked goofy to me.
I run a mix of the ferryman set from the controller… with one, maybe two other peices depending on my mood! And im returning training up a whole new crew! I boycotted Sot while Depps trial was going on cuz i didnt want to give a cent to disney but the point has been made and that whole thing is over
Seadog jacket and hat mixed with all the other sailor cosmetics is literally the default sot noob skin
I personally enjoy looking like a noob with the shen curse and wild rose cosmetics. Its great for baiting people into thinoing itll be an easy win and lower their guard. Same reason why I sometimes leave my ship with the default appearance so people think Im new and get over confident
I use the tuck stuff cuz its practical, and it’s useful when ppl underestimate ur tucking skills cuz of ur clothing
Ran into a galleon of Spinal Costume players, they sunk 2 other galleons in about 15 minutes flat.
As a bone head here, I am definitely the outlier. I don’t like to fight but I will if it’s convenient. I usually just like seeing if people have any creative banter in PvP games I do occasionally play
hahaha. I love this. I rock the rose outfit for this exact reason. People think i'm fodder xD
I rarely meet beginner outfitted people that aren't complete sweats.
Be wary of all pirates you meet.. no matter what clothing they have, it means very little in terms of skill.
that is how I often deal with any random players I meet, be wary and be ready to fight.
A few days ago a was playing the pvp mode and sank a dude who had the golden ghost curse, he was stacking emissary flags and had over 20 of just the reaper lvl 5 emissary flags, thank the lord he was a solo 💀
As a skelle curse owner who preffers using the ashen curse in open seas, I can confirm that Ashen curse gives u are debuff.. I donno how, but it does..
we need a video about sweaty cosmetics. like da sails for more vision, kraken eye of reach for better screen vision, sailor cannons, etc..
My list is a mix of the legendary set with the Rose set because the purple kinda compliments the red and white so it fits well dress up for pirates is fun!
I am assuming the crab and kraken sets are still low on the list?
Better nowadays, probably closer to they'll put up a fight
I played way back in the day. I didn't really get into the game but I have some old gear from back then. I remember when masts couldn't be shot down or when the only food choice was the banana. It was never the pvp that drove me away. I just never got into the game until more recently.
Saw a guy saying how nice he is lol. I just messed up a whole galleon crew doing tall tales and stole a sloop duo's ship while they were in a shrine :D
Getting pirate legend takes 16 hours if you have over 100 hours in the game already. I was level 47 in merchants and order of souls when I stopped playing after 100 hours 3 years ago and it's been at least 16 hours with me and my friends since it went on sale on steam for Christmas and I'm 50 order of souls and 49 merchants
Anyone who has the Mighty Pirate title is extremely dangerous because if they willingly 100% monkey island than it just shows how mad they really are
I really like the skelly curse. Not bcuz it’s op or something, but because I like the way it looks. Even tho I’m too bad at the game to even dream of gettin it 🤷♂️
I literally just like dressing cool lol. I have a admiral looking set, a regular pirate set, a dressed down set and a really dressed down set. I do rock the hungering deep tattoos at all times tho
Yea it's fun to to see a ship and start judging them based off their cosmetics. Funny list. Another good indicator is the way they manage their sails but that could be another video? That's usually my confirmation on a new crew.
Sails management is the biggest tell for sure
or even ship names, un-captained ships tend to be the most braindead players.I have yet to see anyone as im gonna call it (sailor smurfing) ie: pretending to be bad, with the ship system. me and my buddy recently caught on to some of these guys while stacking fotd by checking their ship logs
@@london7415 ah yeah the ship log, thats a good one too
