  • Sea of Thieves is a great game, fun in almost every way.
    But I asked myself the question of how we got from the rocky launch of this game to where we are today and decided to make a video around it. With a little Absolute Pixel dust sprinkled across the video obviously :)

      Sloops are not intimidated by Briggs. The fact that there are so many two-man brigs is the exact reason why it's non-intimidating
      The Brig is technically faster but takes longer to turn and is not as nibble and agile as the sloop because you don't have a third person helping to turn sails etc. You're especially not faster when you get anchored and can only use two people to raise
      At the end of the day it's tactically disadvantageous to dou brig

If they do sink us we essentially keep ramming our newly spawned galleon into them over and over again until they sink or leave the server, then we go back to fishin'

    I do love the way they approached micro transactions though. The micro transactions are purely cosmetic, and you can find skeletons in game that can give you their premium currency. Then for their plunder pass, most items are free, but you can buy the premium version and get a few other cosmetics, basically as a thank you for supporting their game.

    Here comes the biggest fight that the community has had from the beginning - PvP vs PvE players.
    PvP players hate on PvE players for working together with others and call out "It'S CalaED Sea fFOF THIeves not Sea of FRiends!!!11oneone"
    PvE players hate on PvP players because they chose to play as aggressive pirates.
    I find myself in the middle because I enjoy the best of both worlds.
    Respect others for their choice in style of playing the game. If you can't do that, then why should you have the right to be left alone with *your* way of playing?
    SoT since release has probably been my most favourite game there is so far, and the devs have made some great choices and improvements. I simply can't wait for more.

      I agree with this. I'm a PvE player but I understand that I risk my loot sailing in waters with potentially hostile pirates. Sometimes I get annoyed but I respect that it's part of the game. This is why I learned defensive tactics instead of moaning on some forum. This way, I can enjoy PvP if someone tries to challenge me. If they beat me, they deserve the loot.

    A solo brig is not a terrible choice and for things like merchant alliance it can be better then a sloop speed wise.

    Well the only thing I will defend here are the microtransactions.
    Because the way they are done is very harmless. First off, this is not an EA game where the next game will release next year anyways, this is a loooong term project, so if the only revenue they ever got was when you originally buy the game, they would go bankrupt really fast. Also there is no gambling stuff, only buying the premium currency and spending it on things in the emporium, you know what you will get beforehand every single time.
    Lastly, aside from some stuff like holiday weapons, there is no fear of missing out as stuff stays in the emporium, and even for holiday stuff, it gets brought back on those holidays next year.
    The only stuff that is truly time limited and exclusive is usually behind very short term events or something, which I hate because what, am I not a loyal enough fan because I was sick that weekend?
    But yeah, the microtransactions themselves aren't bad in the slightest imo.
    They are just you buying cosmetics, no gambling, no "surprise mechanics", 100% transparency and again, it is necessary for this game to even make money long term.

When I was grinding progressing was slow. But after a little while in pvp, I went from level 30 to level 44 in like 2 weeks. If you wanna be good at pvp you have to act like you have nothing to lose. If you think like this you can do riskier things that players don’t usually expect and sink them immediately.

    I don't see what's so bad about losing to other players, unless your pride and dignity are that important to you. No weapons is better than any other stat wise, it literally is about skill and how much you know about the game. As a player who joined casually about 3 days ago, I admit I've had my fair share of being slaughtered by more skilled and knowledgeable players, an honest opinion while it is annoying, but there's no other way to learn then to take the loss and learn from your mistakes and become better. Remember, you're not losing anything but time, levels and rep don't make a difference, it's only a minor setback and unless these people have hacking skills to track or are reaper, the chances of you encountering the same players are next to none. So, take what you've learned and get back out on the waters with your new found knowledge and who knows, maybe the next time you meet your foes, you'll be victorious.

    They fixed the island banner. go to your settings, and change the banner to slimeline. it only covers the top part, but not the bottom

    Only way to keep updating online servers and gameplay is to rent the whole game (WoW) or make a new one every year (CoD) or use microtransactions (everyone else).

    Norway has too many dialects, I (Norwegian from Fredrikstad) didn't even recognize you were Norwegian at first!

    Me and my friend find the brig better than the sloop in some situations (when we're playing in a duo). It's not really hard to control and both teammates can fire the cannons at the same time! If you're good, you can manage the brig with just 2 people.

    Brigs just look better, and I even prefer to solo brig, don’t get me wrong sloop OP but brigantine more fun to sail

    At least you can't upgrade level with microtransations, only buy useless pets...
    And useless gun skins
    And useless ship skins
    And useless... uh...

    I would say that I’m a PvPer and a Grinder but I just suck ass at pvp and have no friends so I kind of just avoid pvp because I’d lose 😭
