    If you enjoy(ed?) this video, I have a new video out all about the Sea of Thieves Map! Give it a watch, you won’t regret it I swear 100% th-cam.com/video/5ZplJoegY8Y/w-d-xo.html
    There’s a few things I got wrong in this video which are all labelled here in this comment:
    And as it turns out, speed swapping is still possible - th-cam.com/video/MkcryNNZ4gE/w-d-xo.html (this is at the top because I’m getting so many feckin comments about it)
    Also I’ve found some of the unreleased cosmetics referenced to in my video, here’s a video with pictures of those cosmetics - th-cam.com/video/Zf2XmbEkw2M/w-d-xo.html
    I also was under the impression that the “nether realm” which I memed in this video is actually a real thing, so here’s a link to someone going there, it’s accessed by leaving your ship in the tunnel of the damned - th-cam.com/video/CgrzBfF6TPI/w-d-xo.html
    Death tax was a concept some people wanted where you would lose money when you die
    I didn’t get the thing about the barrel emote wrong because at time of recording, and even when the video was released, it was true that you couldn’t get the barrel emote any more. You can now buy it from Larinna however.
    The video by kiwhen referenced at around 30:00 is now unlisted, so here’s a link to that th-cam.com/video/XaHT0ZLeMdU/w-d-xo.html

    I believe death tax was actually a concept that players wanted where you would lose gold for dying, as a way to deincentivize the strategy of just throwing yourself repeatedly at enemy players until you won by exhausting their resources. Rare even played with the idea of a death tax, but ultimately decided that it wasn't good for the health of the game, as players who were getting spawn camped or destroyed repeatedly through no fault of their own would basically be getting kicked while they were down.
    the sea also would have to be more than 100M deep, as the Sunken shrines and the Sunken Pearl are actually high points in the sea bed, with the ground going even further into the dark around them. Many of the Sunken shrines actually used to be surface structures, according to lore.
    bare feet are supposedly quieter while running, your comparison was for jumping.
    Did not know you could set your watch to the Kraken, and it's good to know how frequently barrels restock.
    the merfolk are not a curse, but the sirens are a curse on the merfolk that transfers like a disease, known as the Whispering plague.

      If I had known this video would’ve gotten so many views, I’d have definitely looked further into stuff, and I considered doing the bare feet thing without the jumping and re recording it, but I had to gather about 170 clips or something like that for this video, it was an insanely big project already for me, definitely some interesting stuff that I aught to have looked further into, thank you.

    34:30 The sword spawn camp glitch is no longer a thing I believe. Back when I played you could swing the sword at places players would spawn and get an audio cue indicating a player is spawning there as it'd make sounds like you were hitting them. You could use this to set up blunder spawn camps. I think it's okay to share since I'm fairly sure this was fixed awhile back.

    quick swapping and shooting weapons is most definitely a thing (at the time of this comment at least)
    the technique is:
    1.Shoot first weapon
    2. Push button to swap to 2nd weapon
    3. Immediately sprint forward just a tiny step as soon as the animation of swapping to your 2nd weapon starts
    4. Fire 2nd weapon
    When you swap weapons normally there is a significant delay before you can shoot that 2nd weapon (at least a second and a half), but immediately sprinting after swapping removes most of the animation and lets you fire your 2nd weapon at least 1 second quicker than normal.

  • @thesnipenieer2144
    @thesnipenieer2144 2 ปีที่แล้ว +62

    Lore bits you didn't explain so I'll explain here:
    *Ancients*
    The Ancients' effect on the Sea of Thieves is far greater than just cave paintings, in fact, nearly every single magical artifact or trinket is of their craftmanship. Magic would not have been harnessed into spells, enchantments, and curses were it not for them. The magically inclined Pirates today only fool around with the artifacts left over by the Ancients, and only a select few, such as the Ashen Lord Red Ruth, have been able to harness their own, originally-sourced magic.
    *Cursed Loot*
    Actually a pretty decent summary. Though not all gold is cursed, only a small fraction of it. But the large amount found in chests gives enough threat anyways. The most common curse from the coins is the Gold Curse
    *Cursed Sails*
    The lore behind this centers around Wanda, the original Golden Sands weaponsmith. Using a cursed cannon to create cursed cannonballs, she received a measure of magic herself, cursing her into a Skeleton Lord, the most powerful and sane type of skeleton. Still, though, it warps the mind, and Wanda became truly unhinged with rage, taking on the mantle of Captain Warsmith and declaring war on the Outposts who had rejected her efforts of selling cursed cannonballs. She fought hard, but the pirates fought harder, and her ship the Sandman's Revenge was sunk somewhere in the Shores of Plenty. Wanda would later turn up with the new identity of the Masked Stranger, working as Flameheart's original puppet and the founder of the Reaper's Bones. Wanda would soon forsake Flameheart after he rejected a romantic advance (not kidding), and now she's off with the Dark Brethren. In the rather recent Forts of the Forgotten trailer, Wanda has appeared again, still in her Masked Stranger garb and with a new Masked Stranger who many believe to be the Sea Dog's very own Amaranta.
    *Reaper's Hideout Trapdoor*
    Nope, me and every other basement-dwelling lore enthusiast don't have any idea either.
    *Gloria*
    Season 7 has come with a few cosmetics rather nostalgic of Gloria, including a Silvered PL eyepatch awarded during Legends Week, and the Plunder Pass tier 100 PL reward directly referencing Gloria in the descriptor text. She has also been seen in the Pendragon comics, working as sort of a bartender in the Athena's Fortune tavern. Yeah, I think you're right, Rare's incredibly sexist. Can't believe them.
    *Kraken Cries*
    There are usually 3 distinct Kraken roars, one at 3:00, 3:15, and I believe 3:10? What's interesting is that they all come from different directions, suggesting the existence of a third, unseen Kraken alongside the Daughter and Jeff (world event cycle dependent Kraken)
    *Ferry Missing Cannons*
    There's no lore explanation for this. I think it's just part of the Ferry's overall "ghostly shipwreck" look, and the missing cannons have no lore relevance at all. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Ferry has all eight cannons during its battle with the Dutchman during A Pirate's Life. I'll have to look that up
    *Merfolk Curse and the Related Song*
    Do not take the song as actual lore! It's an in-universe folk song which bastardizes the story of the Siren King and the Whispering Plague! Ok, with that disclaimer out of the way, here's the Siren Origin Deep Dive: During the Ancient times, a warrior fell in love with the Sea Queen, and they searched for magic to allow them to live together. Nearly everyone thought this was a bad idea- Older Mer told the Sea Queen that the magic was forbidden, and even the High Priest of the Ancients made an attempt on the Warrior's life to stop him. The Sea Queen eventually found a way through the use of Mermaid Gems, which contains magic that can allow for a human to become a Mer. When attempted on the Warrior, everyone's fears turned out true, and the ritual gave birth to the Whispering Curse, a plague that decimated the Mer as it separated them from their Song, which is kinda like a musically-based collective memory and culture. This separation created the Sirens, who founded their own Song based on the sorrow of their circumstance. Thankfully, the new Siren Queen and Siren King were together! Sorry I lied the Siren King was killed and his soul imprisoned in a chest by the Ancients when he went to them under the belief the meeting was for diplomacy. The Siren Queen's sorrow turned to rage, and a vast war between the Sirens and the Mer and Ancients began. To fight the land-dwelling Ancients, the Sirens made use of the Mermaid Gem's magical properties once more, taking Ancient Sailors and turning them into Ocean Crawler Abominations. The Ancients and Mer were the victors of the war, though, and the Sirens went into a deep sleep, only to be awoken rather recently- possibly as early as Hungering Deep if some theories turn out to be true.
    *Whispering Chest*
    The Whispering Chest is somewhat connected with the Sirens, Mer, and the Whispering Plague. One theory points to it entering the ocean as the event that awoke the Sirens

I’ve read Athena’s Fortune and I’m currently reading Tales of the Sea of Thieves (which I know needs taking with a grain of salt).

I was also super confused about the ferry missing cannon, partly because it’s missing way more than one, I think it’s missing like, 3 at least? Since I only started playing in May 2020 I missed out on like, hungering deep and cursed sails, and I only started getting in to the lore pretty recently, but I think I’m mostly caught up now.

    There's something else interesting about harpooning the Meg.
    First, some common knowledge. If you sail close enough to an island, Meg runs away and despawns.
    If you harpoon a Meg, no matter where you are, if you hold it for a few seconds, and release it, it also enters this "flee" state. If you don't want to fight Meg, just hang on with the harpoon for a few seconds, and then you'll be fine.

    There was another game that Rare developed on the N64 that led to Banjo Kazooie. It was somewhere between a point-and-click adventure and an RPG, I think, and it was about a young pirate. Apparently it was cancelled because of technical issues regarding rendering and storing waves, ocean and large land masses.
    I think what is being referenced is the similarity in theming and potentially the beginning of SoT being an homage to this unreleased game.

    The problem with this game such a good concept that it will never actually be a good game. It's basically 100% carried by the concept of being a pirate sim sailing across the sea so unless the game starts dying qiuckly, Sea of Thievs will become a textbook example of how a game can die with a wimper instead of a bang.
    At the end of the day, the devs can ignore the glaring issues killing the game, by covering up the true reasons behind the "low" player counts by saying, "oh the reason the game only has [whatever number] of active players is because the genre is too niche to gain wide mass appeal." This is completely wrong and like the only thing keeping the game alive is the concept. So until the game starts dying fr, the actual game part of Sea of Thieves will suck. The devs will never have motivation to change the whole thing up until the eye of Microsoft focus on them.

      It’s inevitable that sometimes you are going to get sunk by players who are better than you, but there are a number of things you can do to prevent it, mainly just keeping a low profile, keeping your lights off and regularly checking the horizon, and if you do run into trouble and you don’t have a cremate I’d recommend going on the sea of thieves discord server, and getting someone on who’s willing to help, there’s loads of people thirsty for any kind of pvp on there. And also just check emissary tables when you enter a server, and try and find a server that’s as dead as possible. My friend and I did that when we decided to stack 7 Athena chests for the sake of it, and we didn’t run into a single player.
