Nah not being black screened when u spawn is better

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

@@especiallycontent9616 Given how they pitched it as a social game since launch, yes. Also sitting was implemented quite awfully, as now the edge of a pier or a boat are essentially minefields for potential missed inputs that force you into an emote.

Bro I can't thank you enough for the PACE of this video. Every guide for every type of tip is like twenty minutes long and doesn't even cover a third of what you just got through. Guides like this respect the viewers ability to use the pause button and have a brain. Thank you!

[@YourEverydayBloke]

One of my proudest PvP moments in Sea of Thieves was sinking an absolutely loaded Reaper brig with one chain shot. They had a couple of stronghold barrels in their crow’s nest and I just happened to be trying to take their mast down. It might have been an accident but it was an awesome one!

[@wiater1569]

you actually managed to pull it off in less than 10 minutes, ggwp

[@matminecraft01]

i disagree with your statement on emissaries. from my experience people just try to kill you anyway so the only factor in deciding wether to raise an emissary or not is 'is there a reaper on the server' if there is and they aren't farming skeletons serverhop. if there isn't raise it and get that extra rep and gold in on your way to pirate legend since 90% of the time you're marked for pvp simply by existing.

[@kigut7443]

ive had literally nothing. like 0 supplies in everything, and been hunted down regardless some people just enjoy the thrill of combat ig. so yeah i agree, emissary or not im gonna get attacked lol might as well put it up

[@kortlinbaker1114]

​@kigut7443 I will attack ships even of they've just spawned usually bc they have nothing to lose and are likely to attack if I don't shoot first

[@TheMarmeladian]

​@kortlinbaker1114 happened to me yesterday I was friendly to new spawn on uncaptained ship offered alliance since we were selling and the id10ts attacked us 2 person gally against full crew of legends it was sad

[@twoplexx9151]

Makes U way more likely to be killed for sure.

[@elitetrooper119]

@@kigut7443 Yeah I’m a noob. I am like on day 3 of the game and I can confirm my experienced buddy and I absolutely nuked another moon boat for absolutely no reason. He figured they had good loot. Turns out they were flat broke and poor carrying barely any supplies and we wasted a powder keg on them. The whole affair took less than 3 minutes because I don’t even think they realized we were attacking them until that charge went off and they sank before they could respawn. I am both ashamed and oddly satisfied with knowing a good powder keg can deal insane damage to a ship. In the words of my extremely blood thirsty friend “ Welcome to Sea of Thieves fools “ 😅 but we made an alliance later with a kid who out classes us and he saved us from getting sunk by these other two who kept attacking us, then running away, attacking us, running away, while we were trying to hit a skeleton fort for some loot. We just couldn’t seem to catch up to them. It’s rough out there on that sea. It be full of thieves! 😂

[@dustynhardesty1211]

This video was fast-paced but not too fast to the point where I can't understand what is going on. You gave a perfect explanation of the PVP moves that most decent players use, and helped me out a lot more thanmost videos that cover basic and common-sense things, such as one i watched was all about repairing your ship when there were holes in it, 35 minutes on just the best "repairing strat". Thank you for this video, it was so fast paced that i will remember most of this stuff.

[@brunoventura3]

I want to say thank you for your lives and guides. I've learned so much and became a little better player.

[@stephenlaird8750]

Just got into SOT, thank you for this! Some amazing techniques and ideas to practice.

[@meeeeee423]

Yo the tips/second on this video are out of this planet. Hes flying through useful information

[@person6984]

ok this is the most embarassing thing i ever post on the internet i think but i just let it be: ive played for just some hours sea of thieves with a french guy who had 8k hours and i just reached 50. we played arena and he taught me so many things in just so little time, aswell as you blurbs, and after some time he said he wanted to sleep. He said enjoy your rest time on the sea and stay safe, catch a good sleep. After that i was crying because i knew ill never see this person in my life again and i havent seen anybody being so wholesome like him in many years dude i shouldve not forgotten to add him

[@vSirKev]

That’s nice I wasn’t so lucky. My first time playing sea of thieves I was solo on a sloop and had “open crew” turned on. A random player joined my crew while I was midway through a voyage and already had a lot of loot on my ship. He then grabbed a storage crate and put all of my materials into it from my barrels, threw the storage crate overboard, then threw the rest of my loot overboard and then hit a rock and set the ship on fire, then left. By the time i noticed what had happened the loot was super far back and my ship was filling with water. I had no wood since he threw it all overboard. I sunk. Lost a bunch of hours for a toxic player to have a laugh.

[@dharmeshmistry342]

Two essential handy tips I learned today. 1 - Buy a storage crate and run around an island or outpost and just use the “store” option to hoover everything from barrels and crates, then bring it all back to your ship in the single box and effortlessly distribute it into your containers with the “stow option.” 2 - When you’re closer inland, you can grapple the ground to the side/back of a ship and reel to cause the boat to Initial-D Drift at a VERY sharp angle. You can do a complete 180° with this but it makes you lose virtually all your speed and you have to take a moment to recover. Works better than anchoring imo, but with an anchor you start back up faster once raised so it’s up to the individual.

[@woopslynx]

this helped me so much, I now realize how important movement is combined with good aim

[@brennancondon3357]

The only thing you need to know about SoT pvp tips is to not play solo. The game is so punishing to solo players I basically refuse to play solo at this point. You just can’t 1v4 you don’t have the man power to repair the ship, return canon fire, keep the other crew off your ship, and stop the other crew from repairing. Not to mention if you die or get blasted off your ship in a 1v4 it’s over you going to just get spawn camped till your ship sinks. They really need to do something to help solo players deal with this, because it’s not fun to just lose by default because they have 4 people.

[@lordwillibur438]

A KZbinr just said he ran out of time. Time that could dragged out to be spent on and revenue but, he limited the video. He is an inspiration

[@lilmoist516]

This was incredible, extremely well done.

[@EddieTheBear]

I always anchor for parking. Only time you should worry about *not* doing it, is when there's player ships nearby.

[@recruit3665]

about ram strat it can actually be really effective with and against brigs as long as you have 1 person who can stay and maintain your ship

[@vndgkng]

After still playing this ill always be amazed by the sword lunge water dive. I love that

[@Frosty2200]

Dropping a comment to say thanks for doing what should be far more common on KZbin, useful info that doesn't stay on a single point for 5x longer than needed.

[@tuurehu3392]

[@bluewolf_jd7665]

Something I wish they would add to the game is a training mode,you jump in solo or with a crew and just pvp.

[@TheMysteriousgirl9]

You can sign to insider, download game and practice there, as the progress is erased once in a while anyway.

[@meemog916]

When you see some noob anchored with their sails down, but it's actually just blurbs filming his intro, and you get wrecked

[@justinvermillion584]

This video helped me drastically thank you so much👍👍

[@cesarguerrero5738]

All right, thank you

[@MCsavage02]

I like to anchor for a quick stop then raise it again right away as long as there are no ships nearby

[@melon9933]

I think a more approprate term to use at 3:15 is you should start Bailing, not repairing, I've seen new players start repairing as their ship is moaning out in pain and they sink because of it

[@Titan4100]

I'm referring any new player I meet in open crews to this video, brilliant crash course of tips 👌

[@Devilmeerkat]

I’m not against pvp but there’s a point when it just turns into griefing and then there’s just times when you don’t want to pvp so I do server hoping till I find a server with no reapers but I do need to get better it’s just hard when you see someone fly across your ship at mach 10 speed

[@Tallbesticle]

To be fair the entire game is about people who made their fortune at the expense of innocent merchants and traders

[@thearrowboi4201]

there is a thing you can do when boarding, when the ships gets a little water go to the bottom deck and do a hiding emote ( preferably a fast one ) so with a quick look the enemy wont know you are there and you can geta easy one blunder

[@greenbean4422]

I always recommend to keep your sails trimmed as well! It's much easier to lower sails than it is to raise them, and should your mast go down the higher your sail is the less wraveling you'll have to do in order to hoist your mast back upwards! Trimmed sails also allow for better visibility and are necessary on masts like the first mast of the brig where the sail can completely obscure your vision over the bow!

[@FulcrumTCW]

Super helpful. I get so nervouse at pvp..i pull everything but my weapons out 😭. Will try your tips and hopefully, they will get me more confidant in pvping.

[@wbdk20]

They won't. This game is horrible, and so is the community. Don't expect to ever get better because the only people that play this hot garbage are things like this guy that eat breathe and sleep this. You'll never gain a foothold in this unless they leave, which they won't because this is all they know.

[@DMingThoughts]

This video is absurdly good! Oh lord. THIS is how you do guides. Just info, easy-to-digest explanation, visual/audio examples, and repeat. Perfect! The only tips I can think of from another videos is breaking mast by shooting chainshot straight up on the boarded ship and grappling with harpoon and wheel straight to make a circle around enemy ship.

[@dragon5eyes]

Your pvp videos have helped me a new player grow fast still a ways to go but you helped me.

[@derekmchambers91]

Side note powder kegs can be put out before going off if you get to them fast enough

[@X-man0074u]

Thanks for the fov trick.

[@anvion1161]

It’s so discouraging to get absolutely slammed by every ship you find

[@greenbean4422]

I find ramming to be incredibly effective against other sloop crews. The biggest problem with a ram is the approach because youre bound to take ship damage from approaching a broadside or be shot/killed when descending onto the aft of a ship that's running away. However, your ship damage vs their ship damage will always be even or in your favor if you make contact with your bow, and with only 2 people to deal with max it's not so hard to get a full slayout and return to your boat before peril comes to it. But these instances are SO specific that it's usually just better to play the game without ramming like Blurbs said hahahaha especially if you dont have more than 7 minutes to say it!

[@dinnersam2121]

Thank you so much this will help me improve pvp as solo

Thank you! To the point thumbs up

[@Tallbesticle]

Omg thank you, I just switched back to sword flintlock but I used to double gun. I’m not very good at the game and if I use sword I get double gunned and if I double gun I get sword lorded, I never thought of the sword lunge lead thing,

[@NoRiskNoFun666]

i am new to sot thank you i am going to use that

[@bwstouge]

excellent video my boy keep it up

[@jonm7541]

None of this matters when you get sniped off a cannon and spawncamped on your ship while it gets hammered by a duo. This game had the potential for amazing pvp but instead it feels clunky and frustrating. You as a solo will never kill duos / trios who are good enough. You cannot damage their ship in a way that matters without killing the crew, and cant be in two places at once

[@filmsthatsuck]

Or mabye your just bad 💀🙏

[@NachoMilk]

Tbh I’m not good at pvp at all which makes me glad that it’s not easy to run into people on the sea in this game

[@RainyRocket-fm6sx]

Well you’ve got my subscription

[@wbdk20]

My strategy in this horrible game is to turn against the wind and run from bullies while trash talking for as long as possible, periodically dropping my loot and supplies in the water piece by piece and eventually scuttling my ship. I also never run emissary flags. My goal is to waste everyone's time as much as possible with the grand finale of giving them absolutely no reward for any of it. I usually clean my house or make something to eat or watch something on my phone while I'm doing it too, that way it's not inconveniencing me.

[@ungodleydemon8169]

thanks i needed a recap

[@anoobisthelegend1794]

Hey Blurbs 👋 great vid broski, appreciate the tips. 1 quick question tho, what are your thoughts on fighting a good double gunner as a sword/EoR user? Is it simply b-hops and strafing, praying they miss their shots while closing distance? For me, the Bluderbuss/EoR combo is very difficult to deal with.

[@eggy5108]

hey ik im late and i’m not blurbs but i would just like to say that you should keep your distance and use your gun then once they shoot there other gun or even better there blunder bust go in for the kill and NEVER let them reload what i mean is that you should apply pressure as soon as they shoot and if they still have their blunder bust reload get ready to jump around then and hop around

[@zGoldenHawk]

​@eggy5108 so basically play around the reload

[@stitch1318]

This guy is like a one man army, rides a sloop but is feared across the sea.

[@danielgeary1540]

I disagree with the spawn killing thing, just because it’s a possibility in the game doesn’t mean it’s not toxic. Play literally any pvp game and spawn camping is considered toxic. I get it, I’m fine with literally every other strategy, but it is virtually impossible to win once you get camped. By the time my weapons load I’m dead. Trust me, you can beat me without spawn camping and we’d both have a much better time

It makes you a target for reapers because they’re a pvp faction. They just assume you have something and even if you don’t the whole point of being able to see you is so that they can kill you for the sake of experiencing more pvp
