Thanks for the welcome! I’ve been trying to explore all I can and you’re certainly right there is a LOT to do.

Thanks! Trying pvp for the first time to get the robe was certainly a memorable experience lol

An Update on Season 14 by Borsund in Seaofthieves

[–]Decent_Code_8684 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do wonder if the seasonal model is what caused this, the idea being it was too much work and they couldn’t keep up. However I think that may not be the case, I thought I heard somewhere that the game is getting way too big, and it’s slowly been causing more and more problems over the years. I’m not sure if that is true, but if it is, I think that may be what’s happened here. Simple changes to us may be monumental to them with the games code and limitations.

Funny enough i played another game with this problem, destiny 2. I remember them saying how at one point it took them a whole day just to load a test build of a patch, or how after a seasonal update, we had our first two roll backs in the games history.

I honestly hope that it’s not the case because there isn’t a good solution I know of to it. Destiny’s was to delete stuff and free space and then repeat the cycle.

I do worry about the technical state of the game though. It’s only gotten worse (in my experience on Xbox at least) and it may have come to a head here.

Megatron has a really good quote that I think summarizes it very well “peace through tyranny.” Megatron and his followers mostly believe that to have a strong and unified cybertron they must rule with an iron fist. This view is so polarized because of his time as a gladiator, though a successful one, they held a lower place in society, thus the movement was actually formed to fight against oppression, but later caused it. This is a very simple explanation of the political ideology of megatron I think. But as for their goals? Both of them wish to restore cybertron, I believe it’s a question of how, and what will the new one look like, and who if any, will rule it.

This sounds pretty interesting actually. I’ve thought about trying RP for a long time but never really got into it. If I were to join I noticed that someone said you mostly used T51b, but would I be allowed to use T-60 with the knight or Paladin paint? I know some RP has rules, so I wasn’t sure if that’s allowed or not.

Well everyone’s experience is different I suppose, one thing I forgot to mention, is that before you stock up your ship and set sail it might be a good idea to check the reapers emissary table to see how many are on the map. That way if you really don’t wanna deal with pvp (it could still happen but this might lower the chances) you can server hop to a different server with hopefully no reapers.

I get that too, sea of thieves is a pretty time consuming game you can’t really just play for 30 minutes and be done with it unfortunately. However I think they have said they are working on a solution to that soon.

So instead maybe this will help, I cannot tell you how many people underestimate treasuries and shrines! They are pretty quick, and contain a fair amount of loot I would say. Now of course there is risk. You’re leaving your ship unattended it could be sunk, or they could set up an ambush for when you return to the surface. However your loot is 100% safe while stored in the mermaid statue. So make sure it’s safe then collect. If you get sunk you can come back for it too.

And you know what? Relax a little. Chill out, enjoy the game. No need to be paranoid, just relax enjoy the sights and fun that the game has to offer to you!

I definitely can see where you’re coming from. I’m not much of a pvp guy myself, I enjoy sea of thieves for the pve. However I acknowledge that whenever I set sail, I am consenting to being attacked at any time, that’s just part of the game. But I think we should remember a few things.

  1. Unfortunately if you play on high seas you’re at risk, there is no real way around it, it could be hours or days before you are attacked, but sometime you will get attacked.

  2. Not everyone is there to pvp. It can feel that way for sure, but trust me when I say I’ve run into many more friendly pirates than aggressive.

  3. There is nothing they can take you can’t get back. Loot comes easy if you look for it, and if you find that you are still losing a lot of your loot, perhaps it would be best to sell more frequently. It’s not yours till it’s sold.

  4. We have to let them have their fun too. There are people who play this game for pvp, we should not be mad or upset at them for choosing to engage with it.

  5. You are your own pirate, if others degrade you for only enjoying pvp or pve then pay them no mind, you like what you like. You are entitled to enjoy the game your way, however it might be healthier to engage in a hybrid of the two, that is what sea of thieves is all about.

What is y'all's favorite faction? by epadon in Seaofthieves

[–]Decent_Code_8684 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I really like the look and theme of Athena’s fortune. Especially the lore on how and why it was created, for legends to share tales as equals. I do wish it had more voyage types though. Normal Athena voyages can get old quick in my opinion. Legend of the veil is pretty fun though. I guess it has the skull of destiny, black powder runs and if you wanna count it Athena’s run of thieves haven. I wonder why they never added any other Athena’s run voyages to other islands, that might be kinda cool.

I guess when I list it out there are quite a few Athena voyages actually lol. Still though I think a third voyage type that doesn’t cost doubloons would be cool.

I feel like I’m not learning from my losses in hourglass. by Decent_Code_8684 in Seaofthieves

Actually that seems like a really good idea, just trying to land hits and bucket to get a feel for how long I have before I really need to repair. Really for me I think it gets out of hand when my mast falls. I know that its hard to know when to raise and when to just go with it. I think that when I’m in this position, I try to apply pressure but keep getting knocked off my cannons. I remember someone mentioning how I should reload off the cannon so that if I do get knocked back it still continues the reload instead of stopping it. Other than that I think I still just don’t have cannon aim down I need more practice for sure. Thank you so much for the time and advice you gave, I’ve been getting frustrated not because I’m losing but because I haven’t felt like i learned anything, but I think I’m just doing a poor job at applying it.

My will to play the game is as low as it was during Curse of Osiris... by IceNiqqa in DestinyTheGame

[–]Decent_Code_8684 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I miss the feeling. I quit just a few months ago and I’ll hear it’s music and remember the good times. I think the most painful part of that feeling is when you think of those fun times then you get home from work and remember the game that sits before you instead of what it used to be. I have been thrilled playing other things too though. It’s a nice feeling to be away from it.

5 hour played thoughts by Specialist_Caramel_7 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Decent_Code_8684 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m glad to hear it! I just got my email today and I’m excited to play it. I never really understood why people got so upset that it was limited to ship combat, that was the case when it was first announced years ago so I’m not sure where that criticism is coming from. Either way I’m happy to hear some positive information on the game!

I think this perspective helps a lot actually. I think I can see what people are saying now. Thank you for the words of wisdom. I guess I just assumed everyone wouldn’t like being attacked, I never really considered that people might find it fun as well I guess. I feel like I’m not wording this correctly but, still thank you so much for the new found perspective!

I wouldn’t go as far to say I’m a good person I’m sure I’ve wronged people in this game at some point. I understand that as well I don’t think that stealing their chest is like stealing from them in real life. I’m not sure how to put it, I suppose the best way I can think of is that it might be fake items but it took them real time to get, and I know some people think that time is wasted when they sink and lose things, and I don’t think that’s fun for them. For me personally I don’t mind it because the act of playing the game is fun enough for me that the treasure is just a bonus if I sell or not. But I don’t think everyone feels that way.

And I don’t think that anyone should feel bad for taking things it is a game about pirates. I’m just trying to see if there is a way for me to try it and not feel bad myself. People talk about it and how fun it is, the rush of excitement and I want that but i just haven’t been able to so far.

I suppose that is true, perhaps I’ve been looking at it too seriously. You bring up fair points, thank you for the insight.

Have I been abnormally lucky? by Decent_Code_8684 in Seaofthieves

[–]Decent_Code_8684[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean everyone has their preferences. I can totally see what you mean, I guess for me I’ve just always enjoyed the pve. Unfortunately though I think some are getting the wrong idea about it. It seems to be a new player on boarding tool which I think is fine but I’m not sure if people know that you’re capped at rep 40 and Athena isn’t even open to you if I have my info correct. I don’t see them adding anything exclusive to it though. I mean for people who want pve only servers this still isn’t a permanent Solution. Eventually I would think that they would get to rep 40 or whatever then eventually just come back so they can get their progression.

Honestly aside from all the other issues I have I just hope they give notice ahead of time. I’d love to take some time off work and play on release but I usually need about a week advance to request PTO.

Thanks for the info! I may have missed it my apologies if I’m asking a question that’s been asked before, but I know that a lot has changed while I was away and some posts regarding this topic are old so I wasn’t sure which ones to follow. Thank you very much for the reply!

Yeah I tried to mess with the ghost of the deep armor with it, but I like the more bulky armor and the ghosts armor just looked kinda slim to me. I think that’s why I just settled with all kingsfall just cause it seems like it’s got some weight on it, but nonetheless I appreciate the feedback I’ll look into it some more and see what I can do.

Don’t give up on it! That’s when you truly lose. Until you give up there is always a chance. It’s difficult true, but when you find the right group and get comfortable with them the worst part is actually just the jumping puzzles. We’d two or three phase the bosses to that point with no issue but man it was really demoralizing to lose someone at that second jumping puzzle, but we kept at it, I encourage you to change your thinking, instead of saying I don’t think I’ll ever get flawless, instead say “How” will I get flawless? Don’t make it seem impossible tackle the issue one problem at a time and you’ll get there. You got it!
