[@atvbass10]

This game, while having its fun moments, is way too aggravating for me and I get wayyy to worked up about it, due for the amount of time you sometimes have to put into this game, only for someone to come along and foil your plans. It’s very hard for me to stay calm in the game and i wind up choking so I had to stop playing.

[@StrikerV3]

Agreed. Sometimes I want to go do some pvp. But mostly i just want to enjoy the games beauty and enjoy sailing across the waters both calm and rough seas. My main gripe with this game would be that griefers have everything to gain and the recipient has everything to lose. Choosing to do anything but pvp basically just paints a fat target on your back.

[@kit-san4846]

Yeah I feel that on some level. Its mostly when they just don't give up. I'd much rather lose the first fight and have all my shit stolen instead of giving chase or being chased for 4 hours by the same crew.

[@testerwulf3357]

@@kit-san4846 Sadly not even that works sometimes..they can decide to spawn camp you killing you over and over and sometimes they don't even want loot they just want your ship sunk. I've run into too many players who just randomly target me and my crew to sink then they chase us around continuously sinking us..last time it happened we drove into the red sea then logged off, if they wanted us and our loot they'd have to destroy their boats to get it.

[@joelpetersmedia]

I just had a god-tier solo run. I started up SoT for the first time by myself, just planning on messing around and not doing anything special. Once I had gotten my bearings about me, I observed a world event in play, so I began to sail towards figuring something interesting would transpire. I noticed a ship there and prepared myself for diplomacy as I neared, but then suddenly the ship sunk out of nowhere. No players around or anything, so I quickly sailed over to see if there was any loot. There was a whole Ghost Ship event full pile just sitting there I could steal and sell with literally no effort. After I had finished that at Golden Sands, I noticed what I would later discover as a Fort of Fortune spawn in the sky. Not knowing what it actually was, I nonchalantly sailed over, once again not expecting anything out of it other that chaos and likely getting unceremoniously killed by some random player. I got there and...no one was there. I had never done a fort before, so I began the very tedious process of killing the endless wave of skeletons and getting blown up tens of times. It didn't matter, since my patience was steady and my ship remained steadily afloat nearby. After I had made significant process I noticed a sloop ride up directly to the island. I figured they were coming to kill me and that was it. I attempted to hide in a barrel but a gunpowder skeleton quickly exterminated me before I got very far there. By the time I respawned I fully expected my ship to be sunk, but when I got back on...there was no damage. I hopped back to the fort to see that they were gone. It was almost like I had imagined the whole thing. I later saw them sailing past the island, so I figured they were going to wait till I finished the fort and then snag the loot. Since I wasn't expecting anything out of the voyage and I already had been rewarded with a free ghost ship pile of loot already, I just decided to continue anyways and get the experience. Well lo and behold, an ancient skeleton spawns, giving me easy coins, and I continue to finish the fort with no players in sight for the rest of the time. I opened the vault up, gathered all the loot, sailed to the nearby Reaper's Hideout, sold it all, including a very nice Chest of Legends and Fortune, and nothing. No players at all. And the whole time I wasn't exactly being fast. It was my first solo expedition and by far the most successful and lucky run I've ever had lol

[@useddentalfloss2484]

I remember when Vaults first hit the scene. My three-man crew got all ready at our starter. Got ourselves loaded up, checked our ship, got our emissary and headed off. We went through the trails to get our vault key. We were headed to the island when we got diverted by a Reaper. We turned to fight, firing a few shots back at them, hitting their ship and they peeled off, having missed their opening salvo. Turns out this was just a juke as they came right back, determined to take us down. They were exceptionally good with their guns and swords, something I found out when I boarded them. However, their sea combat was terrible. Finding this weakness, we exploited it. Keeping a solid distance to avoid being boarded ourselves, and taking full advantage of my snipership with the cannons. A few minutes of combat, and we not only had our key, but an entire Galleon's worth of loot that was graciously provided by our Reaper benefactors. Their lesson: Know when you've been made, and know when to back down from a fight.

[@gavinshirley]

And I bet that reaper was rageing like crazy. Know he knows how it feels to lose everything.

[@useddentalfloss2484]

@@gavinshirley Probably. Surprisingly I didn't see them again. I never get mad at lost loot. I used to, and then I just kinda accepted it: It'll happen eventually. No matter how good you are, no matter how perfect your moves be, eventually? You'll meet your match and lose everything. The tipping point was losing both a Fort's loot, and a Fort of the Damned run's loot. We had both on our galleon once. Lost ALL of it. Someone parked up at a nearby island, road a rowboat in, literally sniped the nuke as soon as it was aboard our ship, ran off like bandits. Kinda broke me. I wanted to be mad, but I couldn't. I just kinda, accepted it. But also admired the tactics. "Don't hate the player, hate the game." kinda thing. After that I became way more willing to take risks to get the job done, and if I lose? I lose. After all... The treasure is really just pixels on a screen :v

I’ve been trying to share this story since it happened So we had just done a fof (Fort of Fortune), everything was loaded, time to go to the reapers hideout to sell. We were a Rank 5 Reapers so we really wanted to sell. We started going there when a ship rolled up behind us. They started firing, so we ran because we had kegs and couldn’t risk a hit. We go in a really long chase going all the way from the left of the map, to the right. We were really tense the whole time, several boarding attempts from both sides, always stopped. We start to say, we gotta wrap this up. So I decide to do something. I jumped off my ship with a ancient black powder keg, light it, they try to shoot me in the water, I go under the boat, then BOOM! I blow up the mast, kill both of them and myself, and almost sink the ship. They get back, raise the mast, but we now have a massive lead. We accidentally go into the storm, then we look back. ANOTHER SLOOP ATTACKS them!! They sink!! 200,000 gold sold!!!

Earlier today I got on my ship, wondered where my trident was that was up on deck, raised the anchor I thought I had left up, and dropped my sails which I thought I had turned grass green. I realized when someone climbed on that I was not on my own ship. My reaction was to just jump and swim as far and fast as possible. X'D

[@revilno]

Quick tip for anyone trying a tuck: if your enemy is off their boat and you plan to hide on the mast, jump onto the sail and hide in the middle. If they move the sail you’ll fall off, but if they’re pro gamers, it’s a much better spot than the crows nest.

[@RetroFrito]

One example of what I'd call griefing: Friend and I were doing part two of Pirate's Life, we were underwater and had just been introduced to the Kraken, then we were attacked by some mermaid NPCs. At the same time, some players showed up also and started attacking us. Fine, whatever. After a bit, we finished beating the mermaids and moved on to the next part of the quest to open a large door. From here on, those players continued to kill us, wait for us to respawn, and kill us again. We thought maybe they are trying to do the quest, so we took a 10 minute break on the respawn ship. After respawning, there they were just waiting for us so they could kill us again. There was no loot to gain or anything, they apparently just enjoyed impeding our progress. When your joy comes in this form, I call it griefing (and a very poor personality trait, I'll add).

[@testerwulf3357]

Those people are the worst! It's a such a dick thing to do that. I don't see how spawn killing could ever be fun..you get nothing from it and waiting 10 minutes to kill them again just isn't fun. I always wonder what goes on through their heads.

[@RetroFrito]

@@testerwulf3357 Yeah, there's a mindset that I think maybe a majority of the players seem to have that I don't think is healthy. I really wish this game could be run more like Borderlands. In Borderlands friends log in together and typically strangers are not joining in unless the game session is left open. I think this game would be far more fun like that.

[@Tobythefirst1]

There are both good times and bad times. Today, I met a friendly crew and played a shanty with them. 1 hour later, I got attacked by a ship called "The Cursed Pearl." I lost both my skelly key and my temper. The safer seas is a no-go because you can't play sea of thieves in that game mode. Since I am a newish player, I am going to cross my fingers and grind the tall tales. All I want is a Wild rose wheel. Maybe one day I'll be good enough to take on an attacking ship by myself.

I grabbed the key and made way for their vessel. I managed to get on their ship and hide the Fof key in the wheel. Later on, they obviously couldn't find it as every ship on the server chased them around the map trying to get the key, and then there's me, sitting on mermaids Hideaway doing an Ashen winds and looking of into the distance seeing a barrage of cannon fire, saying "ah I did that" 🍷🗿

Grieving to me is stocking up a brig with everything you will ever need, hundreds of wood, cannonballs, and such, act like you are hauling lots of loot by spreading out on your upper deck, with a pile of empty treasure chests carefully placed on your anchor stand, then keep shooting them once or twice to make them fight, but don't hit them, feign that you are bad, and shoot fireworks at them. Bait them to shoot all their cannons at you and chase, then simply anchor turn around a rock so they don't see you and drop off a boarding party while safely sailing away into open water, they will worry about the flipped ship and less about boarders, which then you hopefully can kill (not sink them) to take their supplies, and place the storage crate on the rock, and let them sail away while one of you return to your ship to ensure it's safety. Turn and fight, but they will quickly learn wood wins wars, and without it, they won't have a ship for long. Keg plays at forts are evil as well. But stealing all their wood is definitely true evil. Another ploy, ask if they have resources for a fight, claim you are going to sink a troll galleon and need resources, in trade give them your best loot. Take a storage crate, take all the wood and cannonballs, good food too. Then simply, they have no leverage anymore once those resources are in your barrels. Muahahahahahaha

[@SereglothIV]

I'm generally a peaceful player, minding my own merchant business and whatnot. But there was that one time where me and my brig crew spotted an abandoned sloop at a siren sanctuary... We stole all their cannonballs, wood, food and any supplies we could find. Then I took a keg and tucked on the sloop, while my friends waited on our brig neraby. After about 10 minutes the guy returned and started negotiating with my friends. They pretended to be friendly and he was willing to give up all his loot except for the skulls, which he had level 5 emissary flag for. Then *kaboom* - something exploded on his ship. He rushed back to repair his ship, completely oblivious to the fact that it was one of our crew who detonated the keg. But when he started bucketing the water out, I had to reveal myself and kill him. He wasn't even mad at us, just sad to lose his level 5 flag. That was the most despicable thing I did and the entire operstion was probably the definition of an overkill.

[@AndysUnpaidIntern]

Never did I think a popular sot content creator would use the word “sword” and “skills/skilled” without an negative in between

Step 1: put boom in crows nest Step 2: this is not your boat, leave Step 3: sail away, knowing well that you have destroyed them Step 4: repeat

it makes me sad since u had the perfect players to tuck on and sink them at the outpost with a stronghold keg but still good job

[@-8h-]

That wasnt griefing, that was virtual John Wick.

[@JetSetRadiumFuture]

Griefing is an art 😂 finally someone else that does it.

[@Mephisto579]

Griefers end up being sociopaths.

Cliff in this video: Pirates who put crates on capstan is the same kind of pirates who dump their treasure to the red sea..... Cliff in other video: *literally dumps a FOF key which he couls easyly get into the red sea and calls it a day*

Sorry for my mistakes in grammer 😉

[@navetwo]

But still its a big irony

[@treyspurge]

Griefing to me is only spawncamping someone without the following: touching their supplies/ treasure or trying to sink them.

[@tempesttossed6029]

I dunno why but the sort of griefers I tend to get aren't doing reaper or anything and just want to spawn camp TTers. They're the kind to go to forts to make sure they can keg and chase until you just quit out of the game. Chapters saved in TTs fixed that, but now with limited time events/adventures it's the same. If you have to leave the server from gallies chasing TT sloop, you lose all progress on the adventure.

Thanks for the awesome content!!

[@theironnautilus7228]

In my opinion griefing is doing something that is against one crew but still non beneficial the the other Like spawn camping on a ship with no holes, thats griefing. they wont sink without damage to their boat and spawn camping is not beneficial unless you are trying to keep them from repairing, so spawn camping a pristine boat is toxic and unnecessary

[@CliffTheStoryGuy]

Have you ever griefed somebody in SoT? If so, why?

[@robo9031]

Haven't really griefed persay, but there was an instance where someone tried attacking me while I was cashing in loot from a recent quest. However, things went the other way around and their boat burned down, leaving behind loot - lots of it, too. Apparently they decided their giant hoard of Ashen Lord loot wasn't enough for them. Since then, I've referred to that hilarious change of fate as the 70000 Gold Incident, so named as that was how much their loot was worth.

Fort of fortune

[@photonman63]

I only consider this griefing by the extent to which you messed with them. In my opinion, griefing is when players join open crews just to start fire and blunderbombing all over the place, burning through all your provisions, and even directly demanding you log off as they do so. Or waiting until you're not looking to pile any treasure on the rowboat to then bugger off with it and log out oaring so the boat despawns. I've only played for a few weeks and run into this a bunch of times.

Single handedly best story telling pirate out there. Your videos, both old and new are a blast to both watch and rewatch. I love your content and wish I had a strong enough PC to enjoy the game the same way you do. Regardless, love your vids Keep it up :)
