Sea of Thieves VS The Developers

Sea of Thieves is a great game, fun in almost every way.
But I asked myself the question of how we got from the rocky launch of this game to where we are today and decided to make a video around it. With a little Absolute Pixel dust sprinkled across the video obviously :)

2 player Brig reasons: Intimidating other slops Waiting for freind to join Faster

[@Odande]

Sloops are not intimidated by Briggs. The fact that there are so many two-man brigs is the exact reason why it's non-intimidating The Brig is technically faster but takes longer to turn and is not as nibble and agile as the sloop because you don't have a third person helping to turn sails etc. You're especially not faster when you get anchored and can only use two people to raise At the end of the day it's tactically disadvantageous to dou brig

@@Odande I disagree. It's easy to not get anchored if you know what to look for. Brigs are almost as fast as galleys so you catch sloops fast.

I find myself in the middle because I enjoy the best of both worlds. Respect others for their choice in style of playing the game. If you can't do that, then why should you have the right to be left alone with *your* way of playing?

[@danielbelton7953]

I agree with this. I'm a PvE player but I understand that I risk my loot sailing in waters with potentially hostile pirates. Sometimes I get annoyed but I respect that it's part of the game. This is why I learned defensive tactics instead of moaning on some forum. This way, I can enjoy PvP if someone tries to challenge me. If they beat me, they deserve the loot. (Also tall tales was great but 5 times per mission for those commendations? That's an F minus for Rare in my book)

the dislikes were from the staff, the 2 man brigs, and the grinders.

i would like to try out sea of thieves, feel this athmosphere, aprecciate the artistic direction, and even die and sink my ship because of other players, that would be cool, too bad i am another one of those persons that cant because well, my computer wouldnt run it and i dont have the money to buy (its 200R$ in brazil ffs)

It's just that you love it and want to see it improve and pointing out those things is part of your passion

[@captainblubber]

Do you make these videos to show your editing skills? Because DAMN!

[@adamc117]

1:47 You literally just showed us that you have not bought a lot of stuff from the clothing shop... complain that there’s nothing to spend gold on when you own everything like me

[@AbsolutePixel]

Why would you buy everything? Why spend money on stuff you won't wear? That makes no sense.

[@cl-kb7xy]

@AbsolutePixel So you can play pirate dress-up and do a fashion montage of course. Duh. I agree with you, gold is pointless in the game. I just play the game as a kind of roleplaying sandbox and forget about expecting any sense of progression. Most times I don't even bother selling loot.

[@Mega12312312312345]

a brig is better in almost every way IF sailed right. it can be done with two players.

[@josephdeliz3455]

I solo play with the Brig. Kraken is the Kryptonite of solo Brigging though.

[@Kezsora]

A duo sloop is actually the strongest ship in the game if both players are excellent. It being so nimble just opens up opportunities that even the most seasoned pirates can't physically do on a Brig or Galleon.

[@jacobhunt3578]

How does this guy not have more followers if you actually play sea of thieves this video is pretty funny

[@BeatLjooZ]

1 of the best Ytube videos I've ever seen. Gotta love that humor. Sea of, Sea or just Sea of Friends xDDDDDDD Skeletal laughter for hours on and on....

[@mrspeen]

Here are my reasons why I jump on a 2 player brig: 1. It's too easy to sail a sloop. Usually when I jump on a sloop with my one other friend, one person will be doing everything while the other sits there awkwardly. I solo sloop all the time, and having another person on my sloop is actually more of a hindrance than an advantage. 2. More cannons on a brig. I've found more success fighting other ships on a 2 player brig than on a sloop, because my friend and I can both shoot at the same time. 3. More of a challenge. I've gotten good at two manning a brig, and it is more challenging and takes more concentration and effort from me. If I have more fun and I've gotten good at it, why would I pick a two man sloop?

Really cool to see that most of the things talked about in this video are now better nowadays in sea of thieves

[@Ammiad]

2 man brig's are usually the result of either stupidity or the 2 guys waiting for their 3rd irl friend to show up

[@deleteduser87]

Theiveing and combat should never be removed But make it a fair playing field by splitting people who have mouse and keyboard

[@Kezsora]

Give the option to opt-out of being paired with PC players but don't remove it entirely. Some players want to play with their friends on different platforms.

[@icethesebastius]

when i play a brigatine with only 2 people, i usually do that because i'm making sure that a friend can join

[@HavenFPS]

Great idea in the end. Kudos!

[@xXQuick123Xx]

Usually we have a friend who wants to join later but can’t when we start playing so we use the two man brig

[@dac314]

I know this is an old video, but I just want to say your English is very good, an important aspect that you seem to have mastered is inflection and how to communicate sarcasm and other sub textual expressions. Props to you!

[@gabegrauman8459]

"I am not English..." " you have to forgive me..." lol

[@wowowowowowoowowow]

I do 2 player brigs bc usually one of my friends wants to join so I make sure there’s always another spot

The first time you edited the cannon footage to fire that quickly I thought you were actually firing that quickly. I wanted to know the secrets until I realized you were editing. Lol

8:28 I sometimes do open crew brig and usually there is that ONE guy who leaves after 5 minutes

[@ZappasMudshark]

This video was amazing man made me really want to pick up the game

[@sealsgambit]

when he said if your a terrible crew you will sink to that keg that reminded me of when some reapers crew was chasing us and my friend boarded them and heard and explosion because they ran over a keg but they didnt notice i guess and died and they were like actually good at the game

[@Mr_Wolfkin]

I had an amazing experience yesterday with a keg, It wasn't looking good for me to make it onto their ship so I lit the keg hopping to get a small hit, I managed to grab the rope right as the keg was bout to go off and put the fuze out so I could better place it and escape. I've never gotten such a good keg off... me and my bud later won the fight against the brig and their sloop allay. (Their Captain would only sit on the wheel while the other two constantly tried to board, their sloop allay was brand spankin new)

[@MrTrashRat]

Also when you said sea of friends I started laughing because I remember telling a friendly group "it's called sea of thieves not sea of friends"

[@n4ninja583]

I used the brig because if the anchor is lowered near an island and you are on the beach it looks like a pirate movie

[@_Jackal_Gaming]

These videos are great! 😂 I've very much enjoyed your content and I love your editing work! Is there any chance I could see more content from you? Do you have a twitch channel by any chance?

[@_Jackal_Gaming]

Never you mind, I found the twitch channel. 😁👍🏼👍🏼

[@kool1dence162]

we were loading loot from a stronghold onto our boat. we were loading the mega keg and there had been a dude tucking on the island. He tried to shoot it, failed, we got rid of the keg, killed him (he wasnt with his boat) and sailed to the outpost. Fun times.
