I was always curious to see how these matches go and what are the rules so thank you for explaining and actually showing us some footage from it, it might have been your first time in the league but you did awesome Toxie! Congrats on the video and everyone that reads this comment let's help Toxie reach 10k by the end of March
Just a point with Main Cannons: They're usually second boarder, due to their main role being on the cannons, they're basically not supposed to leave the cannons at all. First boarder is usually the flex.
Naaaa you definitively want your main cannon go board and not your flex, because if the board fail and the ennemy recover and shoot you , having your flex ready to help the bilge is a must have, and not witching the main can into a flex during a battle.
@@thomasmora1908 not really, boarding is only a good idea in an advantage state as a tool to secure a sink on the enemy, in that type of situation it's more useful to have the player who can put out the most pressure on cannons on board which is usually the main cannon. So sending out the flex is usually the better boarder, but often in boarding situations you'll be sending two instead of one so it would be main and flex going anyways.
@@thomasmora1908 It’s very team dependent. When I was on Cursed Sails our flex was main boarder, with some of our line ups our MC is main. All situational! 😊
Great video as always toxie, i too knew nothing about competitive/sweaty sot before season 8 but now im super into it and think its super fascinating. learning the ship roles has been fun af
aaaa thank you! yeah season 8 has been incredible for discovering the deeper mechanics of the game! i really wish the game could facilitate a way of teaching some of these things for newer players.
Well, i'm a sweat that mostly solo sloops, but it reminds me of one situation i had when we sailed on a galleon with some of my friends, they collectively decided to troll me and piss me off so i just stopped caring... Until our ship was stuck in a Flameheart World event, being attacked by a skelly galleon AND we got attacked by an enemy ship (brig or another galleon, can't remember), Well they all of a sudden wanted me as a Captain again, i assigned roles and told everybody what they had to do, we won that day, it felt like that scene in PoTC "Captain Barbossa, we need you at the helm! Aye that be True!"
Getting an insight into old NAL is actually super interesting! Shivering in my boots at the thought of encounterung a wild NAL team in adventure, and Im glad you got to exerpience it first hand! Great vid
couple things to keep in mind toxie, count your shots so u know exacly when to reball, those seconds count also when you're low health take the eating time to reball IF you're under 5
Good advice! Thank you 😭💖 I think I've improved a fair bit since we did this (this happened at like the beginning of November), but I've never thought to eat while reballing. I'll try my best to take this advice to heart!!!
@@ToxieSinclaireSOT its more important to count your shots and/or at least watch your loading animation cause you sit there for quite a while waiting for it to load with no cannons in your belt
The only issue with playing with competitively people like this. Is when you go back to playing with the people you normally play with the mistakes you see them making piss you off more
From your point of view all he had to do was throw out a bucket From his point of view you're asking him to do a triple backflip while throwing the bucket over his shoulder out through the Grate
Recently found your channel and you've been consistently putting out FANTASTIC content for MONTHS I've so enjoyed binging it and your editing and story telling is so good and I hope you continue to put out great content and see the success you deserve
I really liked this video. Just wanted to say that. You thrust yourself into top tier competition and I thought you did really well. So thanks for another awesome video mate. Cheers.
I’ve always said this game was never built for competitive modes like this, the new mode is the best one we could ever get, much better than a team based competitive mode, one crew vs one crew, as it should be.
On one hand I really want to join up to this and try improving my PvP skills, but on the other hand... I'm always intimidated joining new communities and I end up just lurking.
very relatable. It's hard to just jump headfirst into a community with established chatters and stuff. good luck out there though, I hope you find the confidence to dive in 💖
Something important to note, when you are assigned a role that also means you are assigned a cannon, main takes lead, flex takes next, bilge takes third and helm takes end. this is important to know as you do not want to waste time confusing your cannons with each other.
Very close! Actually from front of boat to back it’s MC Bilge Flex Helm. Your main cannon and flex do majority of the shooting so you want to space them out so that cannons hitting the boat can’t kill, damage both of you. It forces teams to pick one or the other to aim at
@@Zewx_xD this is not how I would recommend spacing the cannons but I can understand your reasoning. For me and my crew however having the two most common cannons towards the head works significantly better.
@@Zewx_xD have never had cannonballs suppress two cannons at once. And also don't get one balled very commonly because dodging cannons isn't too bad once you learn it.
@@Zewx_xD those slightly earlier angles help us greatly, because it means I can start splashing the deck and flex can help me/go for lowers wherever just that bit faster. It can definitely be a difference maker and we don't see spacing out like that enough of an advantage to warrant dropping that extra bit of aggression.
Kudos to good gameplay and good teamwork, I just never found it to be a super competitive game. Which is probably explains why I get two tapped all the time.
They should bring back Arena and its cosmetics. Because of depression and stress, I never got the chance to try it or earn the cosmetics. Didn't even see the announcement that Arena retired, because I literally couldn't be at the PC... I thought I had plenty of time to earn those cosmetics because I loved the look of them, surely arena wouldn't retire, right? why would they ever take content away from the game, right?... :'(
just through experience. honestly the first 500 hrs into this game, whenever i got into a fight i felt shaky! just keep throwing yourself into those experiences and it becomes less scary :)
I will only say one thing, I hate the blunderbuss. they just run up to you and PUM you're dead, sometimes they don't even target me and it does insta kill
Anybody else have problems with the cannons not reloading when you’re trying to fire continuously? I’m standing here holding reload and suddenly wonder why I can’t fire the next ball and it’s because it’s not registered that I’m holding the reload button!! I’ve also noticed that sometimes when you die and you hold the button to release immediately, the circle starts going around the prompt, but then just… stops, and you have to press and hold it again. This can happen 2 or 3 times before you can release to the Ferry!!!
@@ToxieSinclaireSOT Oh you mean the accessibility setting? Might give that a go! Only issue is you can't change your mind when you use that, can you? Like, now, I can stop holding if I changed my mind about picking something up or dropping something (like a KEG or something..!). Can you still cancel the action when you change it through accessibility? Thanks
This is about like fighting ghost fleets. Everyone needs to be organized or you sink. Rare needs to finish making private servers and add all the tools needed to set up all kinds of interesting things. Rare also needs to set up war servers so that war ships aren't constantly jumping in and out of servers. There are some days where I get frequent server merges because everyone is diving off the server using the hourglass.
Yeah, it would be nice to see every server full of activity - but ig that's just part of the charm. You never know what you're gonna run into in this game
@@ToxieSinclaireSOT the biggest problem with the war as it is is that its causing so many servers to merge too frequently with so many people diving. We need war servers to cause the servers to settle.
Im really fine with vets and arena nostalgics setting up private servers for their games, but what i think is really a downside and kind of hypocritical of all is that pvpers and mostly fundamentalists of the dynamic tends to mock onto pvers for wanting the same but for pve. Don't get me wrong, whoever is probably reading, im not saying private servers for progression boosting, im just saying pve. A lot of people (not me though) on the seas plays the game for fighting some skeles or ghosties, trying to burst some ashen lord or sinking entire Skeleton fleets. The treasure is another matter, but the conclusion is, after meeting chunks of the SoT community i came to the conclusion that Rare has the liability to eventually give the people the tools to create -or to at least shape- adventures as we wish. It's the best way to keep great chunks of the community engaged at the game.
as a main cannon, I can confidently say, that because I am the best cannon, it is generally a bad idea for me to be the first one off ship. I still go anyways, its just not a good idea.
@@ToxieSinclaireSOT nah you're good, as a main I'm usually the one sent out to board, it's because the entire role revolves around PvP ability so your crew is naturally going to be most confident in your boarding ability, main and helm are going to be top deck the most, and it's main's job to basically 1v3 in any precarious situation, trying to top deck splash the enemy and keep the ship safe. And also being ready to respond to boarders if the helm needs help dealing with them, it can be a bit of a stressful role, and It definitely comes with its own skillset, but I'd say you pretty much nailed it. IMO the only real issue is you didn't give bilge enough credit, bilge players are crazy.
I think the reason they don't do this is that the island takes up too much space, so much so that it wouldn't be able to facilitate a 5 ship battle. Good idea though!
1:34 now if only we could get private servers for voyages too, I would appreciate that, since almost EVERY session i join has me and my friend getting manhandled by galleons.
Rare often bans good players for “toxicity” because the Redditors complain. That’s what happened to competitive players. Also mass reporting can often get a good player banned if a whole galleon spams report, seen it happen.

Was super happy to have you, thanks for making this video! the comp scene is small but we love it
thank you for letting me sit in! 😭💖
I fell in love with PvP and after this season I might try joining legacy brew hub. The hard part is finding a good crew to stick with lol
Yeah finding a crew is tricky! good luck!!!
Try sea of vengeance for sloop events might be easier to find crews for you :)
Well, i'm a sweat that mostly solo sloops, but it reminds me of one situation i had when we sailed on a galleon with some of my friends, they collectively decided to troll me and piss me off so i just stopped caring...

lmao solo sloopers always make good captain's because they're so used to know what's needed to be done 💖

Let’s gooooo! I love pvp in this game, and didn’t know about lbh. I loved it!
arena: look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power
Always a good day when Toxie uploads! Keep it up 👍
I'm so happy to see that more mainstream people are covering LBH since NAL died in arena has been long gone causeway it's been about a year
I almost never sail on galleon because you either meet really good galleons or really bad
where are the average galleons!? (they're brigantines)
Awesome video, very interesting. You need more subs!
aaa thank you!! 🥰
I’ve always said this game was never built for competitive modes like this, the new mode is the best one we could ever get, much better than a team based competitive mode, one crew vs one crew, as it should be.
one thing that Rare could do, is duel specific players with the season 8 PvP thing. That way people can organize stuff.
Having a team that knows what there doing helps 🤠
“Funny pirate game.” Famous last words.
it's funny untill the galleon broadside is pointed at you
Another Toxie banger👑
This is pretty awesome!
WANNA MAKE A TEAM!? lmfao
oh hey legacy brawl hub! I'm in that server because of kaijoi!

Unfortunately don't have much time to get good enough for LBH, but I'd love to participle some day. Who knows.
