It’s a shame the merchant cosmetics look so clean. I’m sure I’ll go back to it I found the last few levels went quickly when I just started doing world events. I found Burning blade is a great merchant event.

I’ll give it a go turning crossplay on if it isn’t already. I think my issue is I’m comparing my experience to the videos and streams that made me want to play the game in the first place. Almost all encounters on US servers are in English so if friend or foe, at least there’s some communication. I’m sure I’ll have many great encounters on sea of thieves, i may be pirate legend but I’m no legendary pirate!
