A Pirate Persona

Medic 0 Comments ,

Now I’m not actually a very violent person. Sure, I play video games, and my favourite video game involves being a yellow mass-murdering space ninja, but I’m rather tame. Heck, my online alias, Arkay, is named after one of my Phoviverse characters, a friendly death god who doesn’t like his job and spends way too long explaining that he’s more than just death, he’s also the personification of energy changing forms. However, out on the Sea of Thieves though, I’m a monster. I even have a persona for my pirate. My pirate is, well, not evil, but definitely not the… [Continue Reading]

Mega Heracross Raid Day

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Raid days are fun, and it’s nice to have a chance to get a shiny for a Pokemon that’s normally a regional, but I feel kinda ripped off about this one. It was a pretty standard raid day, and we did get 8 free raids (5 additional passes, plus the previous day’s pass, plus this month’s bonus of two free passes a day) and I did a few extra raids with premium passes. Most of the raids, we did as a duo, me and my brother, because he really wanted the shiny, and Heracross is one of his favourite Pokemon.… [Continue Reading]

Mediocre Research Rewards, Still…

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Alongside the Team Rocket Takeover event, we got a timed research quest with two stages. The first stage was pretty simple but also a tad long, and involved nothing but catching 25 dark types, with a reward for every 5 dark types you caught. All you got was some XP and a Vullaby encounter but since the majority of spawns during the event were dark types, I didn’t expect too much. I suppose the Vullaby encounter was nice because they were rare spawns, but still, it was a simple task with a simple reward. However, the second part of this… [Continue Reading]

I Like Disruption Now

Medic 0 Comments ,

Alright, so I never liked Disruption as a game mode. I found it annoying and tedious and I never enjoyed it, despite Disruption being one of the fairer game modes out there. And with Disruption being the main focus of the Dante Unbound update, I kinda wasn’t looking forward to playing it and grinding forever to get Dante. Luckily, some changes were made to make things easier. Now, Disruption is pretty simple. It’s described as “defending some conduits to get rewards” but it’s way, way faster than mobile defense. You kill a bunch of enemies until one of them drops… [Continue Reading]

Bagon Community Day Classic

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Classic Community Days are basically just a chance to get an old Community Day to come back. While everyone has been desperate for Beldum and Metagross to come back, we got Bagon and Salamence in the mean time. Bagon definitely isn’t a bad pick, it is definitely a strong dragon type, and many people have Shadow Bagons they want to evolve. I don’t, I didn’t even get a decent 2* Bagon worth evolving, but Shadow Salamence IS one of the strongest dragon types available, only really beaten by Rayquaza, its Mega and Salamence’s own Mega. The event was mostly a… [Continue Reading]

Season 12 Will Be The Best Time To Get Into Sea of Thieves

Medic 0 Comments

Season 11 has been great at drawing players back, but the players it has brought back have been all over the place in skill levels, and we’ve had a lot of veteran players come back to kick the shit out of everyone else. The allure of shiny gold rings and new faction stuff does a lot, and since voyages are much more accessible now, on top of the ability to raid world events for unique loot, the chances of getting ganked are super high. Sure, Season 10 brought us Safer Seas, but that’s honestly just a glorified tutorial, only really… [Continue Reading]

Season 11 Has Been Great

Medic 0 Comments ,

Season 11 of Sea of Thieves has been great. There, I said it. I’ve actually been meaning to do an overview of the season for a while, because, well, it’s actually pretty big. Season 11’s biggest change is how you get voyages. It used to be that you had to go to an outpost and buy a voyage to do, or go to one of the Tall Tale folks on the same outposts to start a Tall Tale. Now, all of that can be done on your ship, and for zero gold cost. You can also unlock and sail to… [Continue Reading]

On Getting the Gold Curse

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Curses in the Sea of Thieves are always hard to obtain. Apart from the Order of Souls Curse. That kinda only requires you to do one easy Tall Tale. The Ashen Curse isn’t much harder, although it does require you to do three different obstacle courses and repeat a timed escape thingy three times. However, there are three curses that are genuinely a pain in the ass to get. The Ghost and Skeleton Curses are rewards for reaching level 100 in the two PvP factions, but, if you are patient, you can slowly earn these without winning a single match.… [Continue Reading]

New Pokemon In Eggs Suck

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Another event, another singular new Pokemon and yet again, it’s a Pokemon in an egg. The last few new Pokemon have either been in raids or in eggs. Drampa was in raids, while Revaroom and Charcadet were both locked in eggs. But while new raid Pokemon aren’t too bad, when it comes to egg Pokemon, it is 100% luck. The thing is, you can actively hunt down a new Pokemon either in raids or in the wild. At the very least, finding your first wild new Pokemon is easy, because they have priority on the Nearby radar. Sure, with a… [Continue Reading]

The Shores of Gold Are A Let Down

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

In my journey to do more of Sea of Thieves’ Tall Tales, I finally managed to start the Shroudbreaker Tall Tale, in which we take the cursed artifact we’ve been putting together in the previous Tall Tales and finally go to the Shores of Gold, the abandoned island hidden within the fog and the red sea, which destroys all ships that pass through it. The Shroudbreaker though allows us to pass through without harm, and we finally reach this mystical place. Except, well, it’s… kinda lame. There’s not even much gold. Even Captain Briggsy, in her journals, is disappointed at… [Continue Reading]
