Looks like the crew around the 19:00 mark repaired your ship but left it to burn to mess with you. They probably recognised you as a new player and took a degree of mercy on you.
oh... and I was proud thinking I defended myself. That's funny
@@Dittozz this galleon could have fucked you up in seconds
It looked like they were trying to spawn trap him tbh, he just killed them first
That galleon was pathetic. Picking on newbies like that.
Not sure about the repair. When the ship is beached it can take FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOREVER to take in water, depending where are the holes. But it is clear the other crew had a level of mercy.
I kinda suspect they left this 1 player to try and secure the sink, maybe the least experienced of them to give them experience? Or perhaps full mercy with some drama/pvp. hard to tell. It was for sure a good crew overall tho. Kudos on them.
as someone that first played this game in 2020 it is really entertaining to watch you play

rule 1 of Sea of Thieves "If a new player is seen and recognized, you dont mess with them repair the ship or any damages you have done and let them be"
"Or you can trick them into raising hourglass and get a free win. Or you can take them on an adventure and hold their ship hostage. Or you can tdm them for fun. Or give them some loot to be nice. Or-"
A reaper 5 must not follow these rules cause I was doing a emissary quest and got completely demolished before getting to the second step in the quest
@@raider360X_sotnow we’re talking
Tuck on their ship and mess around in the chat.
Ya, always let the swabbies get familiar with the game.
4:50 If I had to guess, lightning hit your ship which blew up the gunpowder keg.
100% it did. When he picked up the keg with the hook I was like HNNNGGG!... Lucky he didnt do it in the wrong angle...but prolly shouldnt.....yep...there it is. Heard the lighting, saw the boom.
Or the storm usually riding with a sloop in a thunderstorm isn’t the best idea
Day 1 player here, and videos like these are my favorite. Love seeing new players hop on and scratch the surface of what this game has to offer
I started the game in 2019 just before fishing and tall tales I haven’t played the last two years and I’m really excited to come back after not playing after fotd
Sail with your lanterns off, just a heads up
Is that the surface? What's deeper.
I've played like for 10 hours or so and didnt experience most of what he did, was just doing missions and hauling stuff - which killed the interest for me completely, as a solo player.
Any tips
@@alexanderbenkendorf688There are literally thousands of hours of content for you to do. This comment would be way too long if I tried to talk about it though.
At the sovereign tent where you go to sell, once you own your own ship, go up the ladder. There's a platform with two harpoons you park your ship in front of the harpoons and you harpoon everything off of your ship. You could sell 100 items in like 30 seconds. It saves so much time
OMG. Just this message makes me want to return to my solo gameplay after 2020 or so, where i've played for like 10 hours but then got bored because of hauling stuff was painfully boring
@@alexanderbenkendorf688yeah just got back playing only got 50k gold sooooo
This is fascinating to watch a genuine new player experience the game I love so much. Awesome video!
ty!!
It’s a real good tip that when you drop anchor, also raise your sails and then raise anchor. The ship won’t move and then when you are done with your island, you can just drop sails and leave much faster.
This will be all of us ps5 players soon 😂
Today my broda
@@sirvoz3407you liking it or is it underwhelming or what
SoloSlooper since Beta here.
I love the way you went into the game, a good mixture of PvE and PvP. You defenitely grasped the idea of gold not being worth alot already. It's the Commendations, that unlock the rare Cosmetics, where the beauty of this game lies ;-). I often find myself just grinding the numbers in the pirates log instead of the visible treasure in the game.
A warm welcome to this gem of a game from my side. Cheers!
As someone who gives zero f's about cosmetics - this game felt shallow and boring progression-wise and i'd have played it for the gameplay, if not the PAIN of hauling items separately one by one to the ship and from the ship. Hauling is SO BORING....
If only you could haul like 4 at a time while playing solo, i'd happily play then. (I only play solo)
You should try focus on pvp then. Rob people, that did the "boring" part for you and harpoon everything out the water. Also the selling part is now fixed for Soloplayers with the Souvereigns.
@@valfareberbork8088 Not interested in pvp too much, but could give it a try. I didnt even know you could harpoon things until this video lol. Thanks for the advice!
@@alexanderbenkendorf688if your uninterested in fighting or doing quests/world events then sea of thieves isn't for you
@@ouzounicus6126 I played some years ago. I dont like pvp or cosmetics.
The game was really cool in gameplay but felt sooo repetitive cause i was just doing the same things over and over, killing the same skeletons and finding chests with gold. Dont know if the game still like this, saw the video to find that and didnt..
What a great video! It's super refreshing to see Sea of Thieves through the eyes of a newbie, reliving my first time playing all those years ago. I hope you're still enjoying yourself out there! I hope I run into you sometime - Your play style is super chill, and you seem like a genuinely nice guy :D
lmao. when you are killing that meg, you kept calling that fort tower a ship which actually made me feel nostalgic. when i first started, i legit thought everything was a ship and was scared to death
also i want to mention that this was every entertaining to watch, i can barely remember how it was for me when i first started playing this game. But i got hooked very early on. And over the years i've had so much fun playing until i got to the point were there is nothing more for me to grind unless they release something new. But luckily i still meet some cool people on the seas and that is what drives me to come back
For new person, you opened the shrine really easy, my friends' first was hilarious trying to help them w/ that
Oh my god, you don't want to know how long it took me to figure out the shrine, 2 hours embarrassing
I did a couple, some took me a lot longer than others haha
Yea suspiciously easy. Seems to get things that usually take abit of time to figure out. Seems made up for content to me
@@MrBatman303trust issues? Nah man he could know puzzle-like rooms from other games. SoT is rlly experience it to learn, wich he did
Super cool to watch your first experiences! I fell in love with this game a few months after launch, and with it's constant additions it's become a very cool game to explore. You'll find jerks like in any game but also could find some really special encounters. That's what keeps me coming back. I've got so many memories of encounters, failed and successful. Many funny stories. I'm happy to see people digging it, and if I come across new players in the game, my mate and I are always down to lend a helping hand. Keep at it!
I would love to see a part two; it was so enjoyable to watch you play one of my favorite games of all time!
as someone who's been playing since season 5 i love seeing new people play this game
i really hope you enjoy this crazy adventure some day you will become pirate legend and look back to this video and see how far you have come
I am glad he got a bit lucky not to meet too many old sweats. So many players dont have any decency or care when they spot a new player.
@@benjamindeh873 just started playing sot for the first time today, I just got endlessly killed by some sweats who chased me over the whole map what's the point in doing anything if Im just going to get shot not an enjoyable experience
@@andybudz6247 Sorry to hear that. There are indeed some useless sweats like that. Next time it happens to you just close the game, open it again, and you'll spawn in a different server if you refuse to rejoin your older session.
This is not SOOO common, but they are around, and you will meet people like that again. While you learn to run and avoid them just deal with them that way.
@@benjamindeh873 thanks I will try this
It hurts hearing stuff like “since season 5”
I played for years before seasons were even a thing…
I’m so old 😭😭
I'm just getting back into it too. Something I found, when you walk over where something is buried, you will hear a clunk clunk like knocking on wood. Totally helps. Also you can zoom in on the map. I'm playing on console so it's a stick click. I'm sure everyone else knows all this and what not but if not, now you do. 👍🏼
such a good quality video was shocked to see the subs you deffo deserve more and will see your growth. I also am starting sea of thieves as I have just bought a xbox this week.
I absolutely loved all that! I'm only a couple of days into the game and have zero clue just yet and after the tutorial the game took me to Safer Seas automatically. I picked up a couple of missions from merchants and I'm about to log in, set sail and see how it all works. I'm glad it dropped me into Safer Seas really as I can learn the basic game/adventuring mechanics as if it is an extended tutorial. After I feel like I can handle the ship and missions, I'll maybe try High Seas. That said the next season is about to land and I think that will change the game a lot, so I may as well stay in Safer Seas until the next season drops.
As someone who has ... wayyy to much time in this game I always love seeing the new player perspective! Awesome video!
Man this was a great video. This game is still fun for me but really when you just start playing is the best time. going around doing your first quests, finding new features, meeting people who show you cool things. Idk what it is but learning the game is so much fun. knowing everything and grinding just doesn't have the same feel as going out and exploring and discovering new things.. this video bought that feeling back for me, and I enjoyed every second.
Its the exact same feeling i have with the newest Zelda games. Its amazing to discover the game, but the news ends too soon then if you arent the type that likes loop gameplays you just get bored at some point.
Completly different from Skyrim that when the news ends it still have the progression in skills and itens and all the lore, stories and world.
I watched this entire video with a HUGE grin on my face. There is nothing I delight in more than the wonder and joy of Sea of Thieves through a new player's eyes. Watching them tinker and learn the mechanics and the little tricks is fascinating, watching them unravel the story of a tall tale for the first time, or the unbridled excitement when we make a huge haul of loot or make it out of a sticky situation by the skin of our teeth. I have been playing this game since August 2018, I am the salty vet who's done basically everything the game has to offer; but it's new players and their enthusiasm that they bring that gives me the greatest joy and makes this my favorite game of all time.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I wish you fair winds and lots of plunder on your pirate journey!
I recently got into the game as well and its wild how differently everyone starts off! I pretty much never touched the shrines and treasuries until much later.
I just kinda slammed my face into the big world events, which tend to attract a lot of people. It led to me sinking a lot, but it was great for learning solo pvp
That was a great video essay. Thank you for the work, you've put into this. Very enjoyable!
Hey ! loved the video. i've been playing sea of thieves for a while now so here's a tip : you know how some times there are skulls or ship clouds in the sky ? well that's world events and they are really fun to do. since everybody in the map sees it, you may encounter other players and have to fight for the loot. oh and to become a pirate legend, you have to be lvl 50 not 75. One last tip : you know these three guys, the one where you sell skulls, the one where you sell chests and the one where you sell crates ? well you can buy quests from them. The best quest are the quest from the chest guy. you can buy a quest where you get a key to a vault then you can go to the vault and find a lot of chest. And if you want more people to play with, i'm free ! it's always a pleasure to help new players.
Do you still play?
do u still playing
This narration and editing is brilliantly authentic. I could feel all your anxiety and excitement. Felt like i was playing but i probably would of quit waaaay earlier 😂 . Great job
i havent even played this game but damn man the narration was soo good that the video finished without me realizing it.
Surprisingly good gameplay for a day 1😂. I do have a few tips to improve it tho
1: raise sails instead of anchoring for a faster escape
2: cannons will always land in the middle of the screen, unless you’re turning
3: raise sails halfway for sloop pvp, you’ll hit more cannon shots
4: try to get an emissary license ASAP, you make much more gold that way
My genuine salute really man. A person who is totally new to game learning pretty well and fast to understand the key features of the game really the absolute best. You rock it bro and one more thing i wanna see you becoming better at this game
Dittoz! You should make a video on the new massive update that dropped yesterday. A huge focus of it is streamlining the beginner experience and had you just started a couple of weeks later you probably would have had a much easier time starting out, although you did a great job!!! Sea of Thieves is in a interesting place right now and the potential for growth is huge, so please highlight in future videos (if there are more SoT related ones) that this game has become much more noob friendly. Thank you!
the nice thing abou siren shrines is, that when your ship is in the purple circle, the water is calm. Like when you at a shipwreck or near isle and the storm wont have an effect to your ship :) just bit rainwater
That was a fun watch. as a longtime player, and it's good to see a new player learning the ropes and not complain about getting sunk. It is all part of the game, and it just would not be the same without the threat of other players. One little tip, though it is not as big a deal on a sloop, when you come to a stop, at an island, or over a shrine etc, it is ok to drop your anchor to stop, but lower the sails and raise the anchor. This way you can quickly set sail by dropping your sails. This can be a life saver when you spot other ships headed your way.
i love this. so wholesome. this game is an adventure. i've played a ton of games and this is my favorite by far. even if i dont get on as much these days this game will touch u and test. the pvp is such a vibe. hitting shot is so satisfying. and the community has its bad apples like any other but for the most part its full of amazing ppl. GGs !!!
i don't know if you're reading this, just want to give ypu a few tips
3:42, 18:24 It's really hard to use cannons with your sails dropped all the way down. The optimal way to set your sail for the fight is only halfway down. This way your ship is moving slightly slower and is not affected this much by waves.
5:46 You should do everything to not let other players et on your ship during fights. If they are going for a ram try to turn out and get away from them. You could also use that to your adventage. Ramming ship is the most vulnurable ship, because you are out of reach of its cannons and you can shoot at them if you have an angle.
21:15 When the meg attacks you ship, you can jump to avoid knockback.
25:14 Dealing with skeleton ships is a lot easier if one of the crew members boards and kills skeletons, so they cannot shoot or repair the holes made by the cannoneer.
Very good video about my favorite game. I have been playing this since the beta and your video does it quite justice. Thank you for that.
I loved watching this, it reminds me of my first few weeks playing. I started playing in season 7 and have about 1,000 hours invested as of now. I still love it very much but if I could go back to your position and do it all over again I would. Welcome to the pirate life! Maybe one day our paths will cross on the sea.
You are making this a LOT of Fun to watch!
Remember watching Sea of Thieves in 2019, now its coming on the PS5 and im going to get it, nostalgia hits hard man..
Nice 👍
Good luck matey! Catch you in high seas! 🏴☠️
This was such a great and enjoyable watch, hope you keep playing and having fun
Sea of Thieves is an amazing :)
There's only two kinds of merchant emissary they're either incredibly bloodthirsty and kill anything that moves or they avoid all conflict
I just started in very late 2023 (roughly before christmas) and I kind of miss being new since all I did was relax all day in open crew learning new things in a chill enviroment (still need to learn loads). Would totally recommend this for any gamers who love survival games.
This is nice, I haven’t played in years and gonna start again soon. It was such a fun game and I’m looking forward to playing it again :) thanks for the video
Great video! I'm getting pumped for this to release on PS5 so I can finally play.
It seems like you never did any Quests for the Merchant Alliance, I think those are one of the most fun things to do as you have to protect your cargo from other pirates and take care of it while you sail from one point to another as a delivery guy (Plants, snakes, chickens and silk all have different needs and snakes can be used defensively). You can also try fishing as it offers a much needed change of pace and drives you to lonelier locations and you may find Tall Tales at bars which are story like missions that add to the immersion of the game.
i love watching new players figuring things out. So funny, hope you keep playing, now you can make your guild, lots of cool new stuff on the horizon for next 2 seasons. I think you would love the pirates of the caribbean adventures.
It was only after watching this video and thinking back to when I first started that I realise how far I have come now, 900 hours later (frankly thats not even that much time compared to some of the other players in this game).
Experienced players in this game (at least those of us who are NOT obsessively screaming on twitter about how this is supposed to be a "PVP" game), have a certain level of respect for new players and try to give them positive first experiences. This is why. Your first 100 hours in this game will shape how you see it for the rest of your game time.
Sidenote, I would love to encounter you on the seas at some point. We love to see new players in this game!
I wish I could play SoT for the first time again. I've been playing it since release, but I really love these "first time" videos especially all the updates later. Nice video.
Another day one player here. So funny to watch you come in with all the hundreds of new content things that came out since then. I feel your pain but with work and some great partners you can learn the way
"That was a little bit brutal! I'll learn, I'll learn. I'll become the pirate one day." WOW. You stumbled upon THE mentality to have on your first session, from your first fight even. As someone with 3.5k hours in Sea of Thieves, that shit took me hundreds of hours to discover naturally. I assumed anyone trying to take my stuff was a scumbag, and I let them know it, too. Later on I learned, and stole millions of gold. You'll go far, Dittoz. This is my first video of yours I've seen, but I look forward to seeing how you progress with that golden mentality from session 1!
I started playing this game around Christmas time and now its in my top 3 games ever, hope you enjoyed this as much as i did
It’s always so cool to watch people experience this game for the first time. I started playing in 2018, and the game has changed so much since then so it’s always cool to see a fresh perspective on a game that I love so much.
Man, the part at 4:50 took me a minute and a rewatch with a pause but it looks like you got SUPER unlucky where a bolt of lightning (from the storm) hit the gunpowder keg you stashed inside your canopy for safe keeping. The odds, man...
I honestly miss the feeling of my first voyage on the seas im glad that i can atleast see other people experience this awesome game from the start
The “puller thing” is a harpoon and it’s my favorite feature in the game.i use it to maneuver my ship more than I use it to get loot
I love watching new Players just play and have fun. Hope you continue to have fun and the video was overall just fun to watch.
I really like your music choices to show the mood of what's happening
Early access for PS5 started today! No open crew till the 30th, though so excited to start playing. Loved the beta and wanted to play SOT since it's release.
I have just gotten back into the game after a 2.5 year break and played for 50 hours the past 2 weeks and finally got pirate legend... this video is very entertaining becuause my experience back then was a whole lot different and I was surprised when 1 day ago I had an encounter where some galleon with 4 russians instead of clapping me (single 1 mast) just gave me their ressources after they sold their stuff even though they could have easily clapped me and take all my loot (1 Skeleton Fort, 1 Fort of the Dammed and some smaller stuff from 2 skeleton 1 masts) but they still decided not to. Also very interesting to see your progress in the game 👍
I started two weeks ago and only after 2 days of playing found out how sluggish and weird gunplay feels f.e not being able to shoot even tho your gun is out is due to some exploit that existed they tried to fix with a delay but this and the incredibly low fov make a otherwise so beautiful and fun game so unenjoyable for longer than 30 mins when the motionsickness starts kicking in and since i enjoy the pvp espacially solo sloop a lot it gets just unnecessarily frustrating.
I really enjoyed the little adventure this video was tho
have you tried 120 fov?? i suffer from motion sickness very bad as well but getting an account thats 120 fov and above could really help you
@@MenaceSot yea i tried the ce method and it helps a lot but i dont want to cheat so i can play the game without having to throw up
@@notDoxz i understand that most people may consider it a "cheat" or "mod". but ive grown to accept that its something i need in order to play the game for more than 20 minutes. most people dont have motion sickness and even then most not nearly as bad as me its unbarrable after a short time playing and ill get EXTREMELY nauseous. so while its not something every player has its something that some players need in order to bare even playing the game. its a mistake on rares park honestly there not very considerate of peoples motion sickness hopefully they will just add more fov to te game soon but until then some 3rd party software will be needed in order for the game to be playable for some players. so try not to feel to bad about it if its something that takes your sickness away.
Love to see new players joining this game, especially one who doesn't shy away from the PvP side of it!
I started solo, too, and mainly do solo sloop. The learning curve is steep, but once you get a handle on this game's culture and mechanics it's irreplaceable.
cool video, also in my 100+ hours of gameplay I've never seen a ship roll xD
make a part 2 :)
Solo-sailing is my favorite way to play... it's the best way to get better. But man... it's an experience.
You have the right attitude to PvP in SoT. The game isn't for me anymore, but a person who enjoys the PvP can have a blast in SoT.
I find the PVP makes the PvE more exciting, but I'm definitely not going out of my way to attack other players.
For what it's worth, though, the PVP can be lucrative. Many players are generous, willing to give or share the plunder after a fun battle. If you're nice. If you're lucky.
Diplomacy is the end-game in Sea of Thieves. It's fairly unique. Not since Rise of Kingdoms did I experience Diplomacy in a video game, like, actual diplomacy.
Bro this was great you should make more sea of thieves videos
Ive been playing this for a hot minute. But watching this video hinted at the way I used to feel in Sea of Thieves when I was new, and man that was a good, nostalgic feeling I got from watching this.
Also, welcome to Sea of Thieves, I've been here for years, and you've learned a ton in a very short time! Keep it up and you'll be the menace that new players flee
looks like the first guy on your team is kinda new too based on how he sold that stuff, using the rowboat to get to the sovereign and also not using the harpoons to pull the loot on
for skeleton ships you have to constantly hit them with cannons or they will repair, if you do it right they sink pretty quickly, fastest i've sunken one was like 30 seconds, skeleton ships have like infinite crew members and for the skelly galleons it's helpful to have someone on their ship killing any skeletons on repair
over all you did pretty good and the video was entertaining
I thought I recognized your voice when I saw this video, then I realized that you're Dittozkul. Great content man!
Wold have been happy to show you the ropes, I do that when I find a new player
5:17 lightning inpact blew up the gun powder keg dont take those onboard unless you wanna take the risk but they arent worth much but when you take kegs put them in the crows mast then only the mast breaks when it explodes
This was really fun thanks, the fact that gold in SoT is almost only for cosmetic is a good thing I thing, the fact that you cannot "upgrade" your gears with it put everyone at the same place, the only power difference between two players is personal skill, which is great, still you can also use gold to buy better missions, emissary flags and early resources, so it's cool.
Also little beginner tips : most of the community say that explosive kegs on your ship is a mistake, which is not false, with a bit of bad luck your ship can get nuked, unless you put it on the mast, in this case only your mast will get nuked, but they are really useful when you get chased, you can try to board the enemy with it, almost 100% guaranteed win but it's risky, or you can drop it in the water and try to snipe it when it near the enemy vessel, in anyway it's not worth it if you get in a active fight or if you sure you'll get in they're line of fire for a long enough time, sup!
small but sometimes lifesaving fact if you are on an island or on the mermaid shrine pull the anchor up so you only need to lower the sails and can escape faster
8:15 those people are merchant emissaries, merchants usually stay neutral as long as you don't attack them they just sail by and don't want trouble that will delay their trade routes.
I first started playing this game in late 2018. It is super fun to watch new players play the game for the first time.
Always wanted to play it but never actually did it until recently because some friends bought it on ps5 so I bought it on PC and we are having an absolute blast, i wish I played before !
U did good 👑 im kinda new myself , but it wasnt this hard 4 me
As someone who started playing in 2017 I also find it entertaining to watch you play
Started on PS5 two weeks ago and not gonna lie when you’ve got 7-8 guys all from different places that have played multiple games together who form guild and can coordinate enough to get in the same server with multiple ships you can conquer most everything
love seeing actual new players play a game and showing some progress , i hate the vods other ppl put out when they say they start from nothing to being the best in the game or whatever but have thousands of hours in the game , good job at making this enjoyable to watch thank you dittoz
When i played the closed beta on ps5, it threw me into a private game to which i played my final hours alone and confused where the PVP was. Only at the final hour did i close the game and boot it up to find that there’s matchmaking and i got lucky enough to be put in a crew that refused to explain anything to me which led to me just following their lead grabbing chest and sword fighting a lava lady 😭 can’t wait to try it some more in a few days
such a good video keep up your work
For real, this is footage of a day One hunter of the Shrouded Ghost probably has both hg gold curses too.
Gotta say, you got balls to start learning to play this game in High Seas, even PvP.
I'm too scared to even leave the dock and I've been playing off and on since 2021. Horray for Safer Seas, the reason I came back.
Safer seas seems a bit boring for me.
Yeah high seas can be stressful, but I guess only if you care much about losing progress/gold. If its all about the fun then all that stress fades.
Yeah just remind yourself that the gold in this game is actually meaningless past buying your ship. Then you find yourself playing for glory rather than gold, much less stressful.
robknight is pretty accurate but i would also add on top of that, the reason youve played off and on is because your doing the most boring content. 99.9% of what this game has to offer, is in player interaction, and by not participating in player interaction because you value gold over fun, you're really not even playing the game as the devs envisioned or planned for (hence why pve is so barebones and simple) and this has caused you and many players like you to certainly enjoy this game less than you could have
Just FYI, the treasure from that shipwreck, you can pull 5 or 6 out of the captain's quarters in one dive, and just let them float up.
Well done on the shrine, I found that I could never open it until my friend told me how
as a day 1 player my biggest tips are dont trust pirates..and beware of tuckering giga chads..
When you get a chance you should play the story mode, there are even pirates of the Caribbean and monkey island quests
you need to keep a much better lookout for ships. every time you noticed one, it was practically on top of you. as a new solo player, you should be parking your ship behind islands, anchor up, sails up, facing a direction that is clear for a quick escape. you need to spot ships when they are still tiny silhouettes on the horizon. you also need to check your map for reapers (they are marked as shadowy ships on the map and have the black and red striped pennant). reapers are 100% hostile. if you aren't hunting for a fight, then keep as much distance from other ships as possible, as being in a certain range is considered hostile and that range is quite large. most ships will leave you alone if you stay far away from them. sell your loot often, you never know when something horrible will happen, i.e. an enemy ship, kraken attack, skelly ship, megalodon attack, a storm, random powder kegs in the water, or even a combination of any and all of the above (yes, you can have all of this happen at once). turn off your lanterns, yes even the ones below deck because they can still be seen at great distances and mark you as a noob. when in a sea battle, sailing east, south east, or south will give your cannons steadier aim. sailing in the opposite directions will be very difficult to aim due to the direction of the waves against your ship, as well as causing your ship to turn as the waves hit you. calmer water = better aim, so fight near islands and shipwrecks when possible. when sailing into a headwind (directly against the wind) keep your sails angled in the middle (i know that is unintuitive, but it will make your ship faster than turning them all the way to one side or the other). keep your barrels sorted, you want high tier food (cooked meats, pomegranates, mangos, pineapples) in one barrel and low tier foods (bananas, coconuts, bait, and uncooked meats) in a different barrel. also keep your fireworks in a different barrel from your cannon balls. you can load supplies directly into a cargo box while you are still holding it, it's way faster than grabbing stuff 5 or 10 at a time. empty treasure chests can also suck up small treasures while you hold it and can also be sold that way. there are around a billion other things to learn but you'll pick them up as you play.
Just started playing Sea of Thieves last week, I already completed the battlepass up to 100 and level 40 to the 3 main factions and Reapers.
welcome to the seas sir! hope you stick around
Great job!!!
Really interesting to see the game from a new players perspective. I’ve been playing since the alpha test sessions and it’s great seeing the genuine excitement in your voice for SoT rather than quiet vets that know everything already
This game looks really fun and interesting life been peaking at it for a while .. definitely seems like a game that requires a lot of it of learning and time investment
As a guy that has been playing since 2019, thanks for playing, and showing everybody.
2v1 with skilled SoT players is almost a guarantee scuttled ship. Some really good players on here.
The “real enemy” crew listening to you say you don’t know what your doing while they kill you and turn your ship into a torch:
I just started playing for about a week now, and I gotta say you're handling things a LOT better than I am🤣🤣
I didn’t watch the full video, so idk if you found this out, but the reason why your ship exploded before your first death was probably because you had a gunpowder barrel and it got struck by lightning. Generally, I wouldn’t recommend having gunpowder barrels on your ship at all, but if you do, make sure to put them in your crows nest 👍
I still havent tried random queue. I should someday. Also, new player as well. Had the game about a week now. I always have the perfect trifecta... Meg, along side a skele ship often topped off with a great ol' storm. They usually all hit during a treasure haul too and at the same time. Sometimes the kraken has decided to grace us instead of the meg. Its pure chaos. lol. I cant remember one time that i've just had a peaceful moment. 😅😂 It is soooo fun though! I am so glad i got this game and dont know why it took me so damn long! The game is a treasure in and of itself. Fully enjoying.
