Looks like the crew around the 19:00 mark repaired your ship but left it to burn to mess with you. They probably recognised you as a new player and took a degree of mercy on you.

[@Dittozz]

oh... and I was proud thinking I defended myself. That's funny

​@@Dittozz this galleon could have fucked you up in seconds

[@jonnycrabtree6591]

It looked like they were trying to spawn trap him tbh, he just killed them first

[@theed805]

That galleon was pathetic. Picking on newbies like that.

[@benjamindeh873]

Not sure about the repair. When the ship is beached it can take FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOREVER to take in water, depending where are the holes. But it is clear the other crew had a level of mercy. I kinda suspect they left this 1 player to try and secure the sink, maybe the least experienced of them to give them experience? Or perhaps full mercy with some drama/pvp. hard to tell. It was for sure a good crew overall tho. Kudos on them.

At the sovereign tent where you go to sell, once you own your own ship, go up the ladder. There's a platform with two harpoons you park your ship in front of the harpoons and you harpoon everything off of your ship. You could sell 100 items in like 30 seconds. It saves so much time

[@alexanderbenkendorf688]

It’s a real good tip that when you drop anchor, also raise your sails and then raise anchor. The ship won’t move and then when you are done with your island, you can just drop sails and leave much faster.

also i want to mention that this was every entertaining to watch, i can barely remember how it was for me when i first started playing this game. But i got hooked very early on.

SoloSlooper since Beta here. I love the way you went into the game, a good mixture of PvE and PvP. You defenitely grasped the idea of gold not being worth alot already. It's the Commendations, that unlock the rare Cosmetics, where the beauty of this game lies ;-). I often find myself just grinding the numbers in the pirates log instead of the visible treasure in the game. A warm welcome to this gem of a game from my side. Cheers!

[@alexanderbenkendorf688]

As someone who gives zero f's about cosmetics - this game felt shallow and boring progression-wise and i'd have played it for the gameplay, if not the PAIN of hauling items separately one by one to the ship and from the ship. Hauling is SO BORING.... If only you could haul like 4 at a time while playing solo, i'd happily play then. (I only play solo)

[@valfareberbork8088]

You should try focus on pvp then. Rob people, that did the "boring" part for you and harpoon everything out the water. Also the selling part is now fixed for Soloplayers with the Souvereigns.

[@_here_hear]

Super cool to watch your first experiences! I fell in love with this game a few months after launch, and with it's constant additions it's become a very cool game to explore. You'll find jerks like in any game but also could find some really special encounters. That's what keeps me coming back. I've got so many memories of encounters, failed and successful. Many funny stories. I'm happy to see people digging it, and if I come across new players in the game, my mate and I are always down to lend a helping hand. Keep at it!

[@deckoBK]

I'm just getting back into it too. Something I found, when you walk over where something is buried, you will hear a clunk clunk like knocking on wood. Totally helps. Also you can zoom in on the map. I'm playing on console so it's a stick click. I'm sure everyone else knows all this and what not but if not, now you do. 👍🏼

such a good quality video was shocked to see the subs you deffo deserve more and will see your growth. I also am starting sea of thieves as I have just bought a xbox this week.

[@randomtryst5487]

I absolutely loved all that! I'm only a couple of days into the game and have zero clue just yet and after the tutorial the game took me to Safer Seas automatically. I picked up a couple of missions from merchants and I'm about to log in, set sail and see how it all works. I'm glad it dropped me into Safer Seas really as I can learn the basic game/adventuring mechanics as if it is an extended tutorial. After I feel like I can handle the ship and missions, I'll maybe try High Seas. That said the next season is about to land and I think that will change the game a lot, so I may as well stay in Safer Seas until the next season drops.

Man this was a great video. This game is still fun for me but really when you just start playing is the best time. going around doing your first quests, finding new features, meeting people who show you cool things. Idk what it is but learning the game is so much fun. knowing everything and grinding just doesn't have the same feel as going out and exploring and discovering new things.. this video bought that feeling back for me, and I enjoyed every second.

[@EvilPapagali666]

Its the exact same feeling i have with the newest Zelda games. Its amazing to discover the game, but the news ends too soon then if you arent the type that likes loop gameplays you just get bored at some point. Completly different from Skyrim that when the news ends it still have the progression in skills and itens and all the lore, stories and world.

[@illusionaryheart3325]

I recently got into the game as well and its wild how differently everyone starts off! I pretty much never touched the shrines and treasuries until much later. I just kinda slammed my face into the big world events, which tend to attract a lot of people. It led to me sinking a lot, but it was great for learning solo pvp

Hey ! loved the video. i've been playing sea of thieves for a while now so here's a tip : you know how some times there are skulls or ship clouds in the sky ? well that's world events and they are really fun to do. since everybody in the map sees it, you may encounter other players and have to fight for the loot. oh and to become a pirate legend, you have to be lvl 50 not 75. One last tip : you know these three guys, the one where you sell skulls, the one where you sell chests and the one where you sell crates ? well you can buy quests from them. The best quest are the quest from the chest guy. you can buy a quest where you get a key to a vault then you can go to the vault and find a lot of chest. And if you want more people to play with, i'm free ! it's always a pleasure to help new players.

Dittoz! You should make a video on the new massive update that dropped yesterday. A huge focus of it is streamlining the beginner experience and had you just started a couple of weeks later you probably would have had a much easier time starting out, although you did a great job!!! Sea of Thieves is in a interesting place right now and the potential for growth is huge, so please highlight in future videos (if there are more SoT related ones) that this game has become much more noob friendly. Thank you!

[@SMGlama]

Surprisingly good gameplay for a day 1😂. I do have a few tips to improve it tho 1: raise sails instead of anchoring for a faster escape 2: cannons will always land in the middle of the screen, unless you’re turning 3: raise sails halfway for sloop pvp, you’ll hit more cannon shots 4: try to get an emissary license ASAP, you make much more gold that way

[@taz0412]

This narration and editing is brilliantly authentic. I could feel all your anxiety and excitement. Felt like i was playing but i probably would of quit waaaay earlier 😂 . Great job

[@g_smokey_]

i don't know if you're reading this, just want to give ypu a few tips 3:42, 18:24 It's really hard to use cannons with your sails dropped all the way down. The optimal way to set your sail for the fight is only halfway down. This way your ship is moving slightly slower and is not affected this much by waves. 5:46 You should do everything to not let other players et on your ship during fights. If they are going for a ram try to turn out and get away from them. You could also use that to your adventage. Ramming ship is the most vulnurable ship, because you are out of reach of its cannons and you can shoot at them if you have an angle. 21:15 When the meg attacks you ship, you can jump to avoid knockback. 25:14 Dealing with skeleton ships is a lot easier if one of the crew members boards and kills skeletons, so they cannot shoot or repair the holes made by the cannoneer.

You are making this a LOT of Fun to watch!

[@CobaltThunder267]

I watched this entire video with a HUGE grin on my face. There is nothing I delight in more than the wonder and joy of Sea of Thieves through a new player's eyes. Watching them tinker and learn the mechanics and the little tricks is fascinating, watching them unravel the story of a tall tale for the first time, or the unbridled excitement when we make a huge haul of loot or make it out of a sticky situation by the skin of our teeth. I have been playing this game since August 2018, I am the salty vet who's done basically everything the game has to offer; but it's new players and their enthusiasm that they bring that gives me the greatest joy and makes this my favorite game of all time. Thank you for sharing your experience, and I wish you fair winds and lots of plunder on your pirate journey!

[@jmichaelgentry]

That was a fun watch. as a longtime player, and it's good to see a new player learning the ropes and not complain about getting sunk. It is all part of the game, and it just would not be the same without the threat of other players. One little tip, though it is not as big a deal on a sloop, when you come to a stop, at an island, or over a shrine etc, it is ok to drop your anchor to stop, but lower the sails and raise the anchor. This way you can quickly set sail by dropping your sails. This can be a life saver when you spot other ships headed your way.

[@Stumang1967]

I loved watching this, it reminds me of my first few weeks playing. I started playing in season 7 and have about 1,000 hours invested as of now. I still love it very much but if I could go back to your position and do it all over again I would. Welcome to the pirate life! Maybe one day our paths will cross on the sea.

It was only after watching this video and thinking back to when I first started that I realise how far I have come now, 900 hours later (frankly thats not even that much time compared to some of the other players in this game). Experienced players in this game (at least those of us who are NOT obsessively screaming on twitter about how this is supposed to be a "PVP" game), have a certain level of respect for new players and try to give them positive first experiences. This is why. Your first 100 hours in this game will shape how you see it for the rest of your game time.

I started two weeks ago and only after 2 days of playing found out how sluggish and weird gunplay feels f.e not being able to shoot even tho your gun is out is due to some exploit that existed they tried to fix with a delay but this and the incredibly low fov make a otherwise so beautiful and fun game so unenjoyable for longer than 30 mins when the motionsickness starts kicking in and since i enjoy the pvp espacially solo sloop a lot it gets just unnecessarily frustrating. I really enjoyed the little adventure this video was tho

@@notDoxz i understand that most people may consider it a "cheat" or "mod". but ive grown to accept that its something i need in order to play the game for more than 20 minutes. most people dont have motion sickness and even then most not nearly as bad as me its unbarrable after a short time playing and ill get EXTREMELY nauseous. so while its not something every player has its something that some players need in order to bare even playing the game. its a mistake on rares park honestly there not very considerate of peoples motion sickness hopefully they will just add more fov to te game soon but until then some 3rd party software will be needed in order for the game to be playable for some players. so try not to feel to bad about it if its something that takes your sickness away.

[@Agumon5]

You have the right attitude to PvP in SoT. The game isn't for me anymore, but a person who enjoys the PvP can have a blast in SoT.

[@Aflay1]

I find the PVP makes the PvE more exciting, but I'm definitely not going out of my way to attack other players. For what it's worth, though, the PVP can be lucrative. Many players are generous, willing to give or share the plunder after a fun battle. If you're nice. If you're lucky. Diplomacy is the end-game in Sea of Thieves. It's fairly unique. Not since Rise of Kingdoms did I experience Diplomacy in a video game, like, actual diplomacy.

Safer seas seems a bit boring for me. Yeah high seas can be stressful, but I guess only if you care much about losing progress/gold. If its all about the fun then all that stress fades.

[@robknight1304]

Yeah just remind yourself that the gold in this game is actually meaningless past buying your ship. Then you find yourself playing for glory rather than gold, much less stressful.

[@Kodama666]

robknight is pretty accurate but i would also add on top of that, the reason youve played off and on is because your doing the most boring content. 99.9% of what this game has to offer, is in player interaction, and by not participating in player interaction because you value gold over fun, you're really not even playing the game as the devs envisioned or planned for (hence why pve is so barebones and simple) and this has caused you and many players like you to certainly enjoy this game less than you could have

I really like your music choices to show the mood of what's happening

[@mileonaslionclaw2525]

I’ve been playing SOT on and off for a few years now, And it’s always nice to see new players joining. I would by no means call myself an expert as I constantly get my ass handed to me on a silver platter whenever someone boards in pvp, But at the very least, I’m competent enough to say a few things. Listen to your ship, and she’ll tell you what you need to know. Memorize the audio cues like the bell ringing in a storm or the creaking of your ship, and it’ll save your ass when you need to bail or when you’re within striking distance of lightning. Never let your guard down. It’s a pirate game and everybody’s out for loot. Keep weather, I on the horizon, never trust another pirate more than you need to. When you need to stop, raise sails instead of dropping anchor. If you do, raise anchor immediately, otherwise you’re a sitting duck and easy pickings Since it’ll take longer for you to raise it and get moving Most people keep kegs up in the crows nest if they have them. You can blow them up with a well-placed shot and cripple their mast. If you yourself have you kegs in your nest, be aware of them, and make sure you don’t go into a storm with them, lightning will strike them, as well as you if you have your sort out. Open crew is good for meeting people, but once you find a reliable bunch, it’s best to try and stick with them when you can as open crew is always a mixed bag and there are absolutely people who will just troll you for the fuck of it. When shooting cannons, Make sure to pay attention to if your ship is turning and the speed it’s going, and make sure to take that into consideration when you came. And unless that ship is a sitting duck, and where they’re going to be not where they are. If you sail Northwest, constantly keep checking your direction. the tide will push you off course, so don’t just ditch the helm and expect to keep going straight. Don’t be too afraid to take risks, They might just pay off. You might also lose everything, but so it is on the sea of thieves. If a player looks like a ghost, or a skeleton with shorts on Or golden bones, do not fight them. Those are cosmetics you get by being extremely good at PVP. You’re not going to beat them as a Swabby/noob. Edit: the guy at 5:55 Is not the correct type of skeleton though, he’s just wearing a costume you can buy. Don’t be fooled. Lastly, it’s not truly your loot till you sell it, Another reason not to let your guard down. noob

5:17 lightning inpact blew up the gun powder keg dont take those onboard unless you wanna take the risk but they arent worth much but when you take kegs put them in the crows mast then only the mast breaks when it explodes

[@TheWatcher20]

When you get a chance you should play the story mode, there are even pirates of the Caribbean and monkey island quests

[@Dxenxs]

U did good 👑 im kinda new myself , but it wasnt this hard 4 me

[@vaenkhar7236]

This was really fun thanks, the fact that gold in SoT is almost only for cosmetic is a good thing I thing, the fact that you cannot "upgrade" your gears with it put everyone at the same place, the only power difference between two players is personal skill, which is great, still you can also use gold to buy better missions, emissary flags and early resources, so it's cool. Also little beginner tips : most of the community say that explosive kegs on your ship is a mistake, which is not false, with a bit of bad luck your ship can get nuked, unless you put it on the mast, in this case only your mast will get nuked, but they are really useful when you get chased, you can try to board the enemy with it, almost 100% guaranteed win but it's risky, or you can drop it in the water and try to snipe it when it near the enemy vessel, in anyway it's not worth it if you get in a active fight or if you sure you'll get in they're line of fire for a long enough time, sup!

[@lennoxstiel9637]

such a good video keep up your work

[@gabrielcoventry4586]

earning gold is a small part of it Becoming an emissary and levelling up the different factions is another part of it, higher you get the cooler voyages you get. If you get level 50 I think it is now in 3 of them you unlock pirate legend and athena's fortune quests. There's also the tall tales which are like story missions where you do a load of PVE and earn gold. What you were doing is great to learn how to play but it's a bit aimless, once you have a goal, for example get lvl 50 in order of souls, then it becomes more interesting. You can become an emissary to level up faster and get over double gold and xp eventually but lvl5 reapers can see you on the map which adds a lot of risk especially since selling high level emissary flag and captain logs yield good rewards for them. each of the 3 main factions is unique with the quests they give and are all really fun, except the merchants, they're shit but if ya want pirate legend you probs wanna be grinding them unless you wanna get reapers to lvl 50 instead lol There's also a couple of PVP modes where you go into battles without any risk of losing anything, just straight up PVP which I think can level up servants of the flame and stuff but not really sure what it is yet cos I haven't tried it myself. there's a lot to this game and a lot of different ways to play. and what I've mentioned barely scratches what you can do in this game, especially since they keep adding and changing things (sometimes for the worse, the new way to get voyages rubs me the wrong way and I miss captain voyages)

[@partybelt6040]

Ive been playing this for a hot minute. But watching this video hinted at the way I used to feel in Sea of Thieves when I was new, and man that was a good, nostalgic feeling I got from watching this.

[@tunedingaming9620]

This game looks really fun and interesting life been peaking at it for a while .. definitely seems like a game that requires a lot of it of learning and time investment

[@pexo4454]

It's funny to get back to the times when I was panicing the same xd Little tips that will help a lot: 1. Do not anchor your ship. If they attack you it takes too long to pull up the anchor. Without it you just drop the sails and run or fight. Same in the fight never anchor. 2. When fighting put your sails halfway up to slowe down for better accuracy and maneuverability. 3. If you cannon fight, tilt your rudder little bit to the side you want to go, so you don't just go straight and have to adjust your ship every time in the fight. 4. When fighting, if you get on their deck just drop down their anchor. Pretty annoying to have anchor down midst the fight. 5. If someone follows you from behind, you can jump to the water, wait for them under the water and then catch their ladder, get up on the ship and drop the anchor to slow them down. One more tip actually: Have your cannons loaded up before sailing. Enjoy the game. It is beautiful game with lovely atmosphere. Sometimes just playing to chill and sail.

[@reddemon6668]

You should do tall tales, they’re pretty fun. Also 75 rep across 3 trading companies for pirate legend? Used to be 50 across 3.

[@Gerwinvdrstap]

The part were you killed a skelly cursed player as a beginner is wild

[@KJasonV]

I just started playing for about a week now, and I gotta say you're handling things a LOT better than I am🤣🤣

[@josephhodge7343]

After you anchor and full put up you sails, raise the anchor back up. The ship will stay as long as the sails are up. That way you can run away faster by just lowering the sails.

[@NollNone-xv9hx]

Some ships are skelly scouts and will not harm you unless provoked, and that one ship at the shrine that just passed you, they knew you were new for a few reasons. So they came to help

[@magicpyroninja]

When fighting a skeleton ship, if all else fails, ran into it. Jump on board and let your partner fix your ship. You go downstairs and you guard the holes on the skeleton ship until it's underwater

[@jedthezed3599]

2v1 with skilled SoT players is almost a guarantee scuttled ship. Some really good players on here.

[@Pokemichael]

As someone who has been playing for a few years now, it’s super neat to see someone playing for the first time. Experiencing the game blind through someone else’s eyes is pretty cool.

[@D2_ionfwchu]

When I played I had one of the most insane adventures Just loaded in and got to do the kraken mission with some people I died a lot but it was loads of fun
