Open crew always has its own charm. As a day 1 og beta testing player with almost 4k hours in the game, I spend a lot of time open crew jumping galleons for something spicy to drop in on. It’s just what vets do when we’re bored. A pvp fight in progress, a chase, a sneaky steal.. joining a newby crew about to sink and turning the tide of the battle into a victory.. open crews have evolved, or rather, devolved. In the first few years of the game, you could join any open crew and they are likely sitting on a stack of loot already and having fun.. but then the griefing started with the introduction of kegs, firebombs, and blunderbombs so now the kind of crews that are open are super fresh players who sail out for hours never starting a quest, just visiting islands for no reason and sailing in circles. Lately I jump crews dozens of times now before I find something worth staying in. Run into a lot of other og’s as they crew jump looking for the same thing. We do a quick hello emote to eachother and then continue our search, not wanting to commit the whole session to one crew, just wanting to drop in and help a rough situation where needed before moving on to the next crew. If you open crew and you notice people keep joining and then immediately leaving, it’s because we woke up in the outpost and know nothing going on yet, or you’re not doing anything interesting out on the ocean other than low tier pve/basic voyages. I open crew jumped a lot the last few years helping out and started getting recognized all the time as some mythical vanguard that blesses your crew :’) I build an lfg hourglass team and someone goes, “wait, omg YOU’RE YoDubaiWasLit?” And they tell me how I joined them and taught them how to do advanced mechanics or won them a pvp fight. I stopped doing this when playstation got the game because open crewing basically died for OG searching. We were already jumping upwards of 20-50 times but now it’s too hard so find spice. I’ll miss running into Lauren404 amongst many other og jumpers. Kinda stopped playing SoT for about a month now.
Thank you for commenting! 🙏 I have around 31 days on sea of thieves, mostly from playing it everyday with my friends a year or so ago, but they’ve left me as of this year. It’s still my favourite game to this day, and I am still nostalgic of those days, when we’d all load up on a brig/ galleon and go stack FOTDs, or just kill any sloop we saw. As a solo slooper, I usually just go into open crew, or play hourglass, and it’s surprising how many memorable times you can have on this game. 👋
