On the Change to the Dark Adventurers Sails

November 21, 2023November 10, 2023 Medic 0 Comments balance, sea of thieves

In a video post on November 8th, Rare, the developers behind Sea of Thieves, announced that they’d be looking at the designs of several sails, and would be changing them to be more inline with all the other sails in the game. While there are several sails that are differently designed, the sails that most people are talking about are the Dark Adventurers sails. The Dark Adventurers sails are unique in two ways. The first way that the sails are unique is that they are very, very expensive. Like all the other Dark Adventurers items, the sails are incredibly expensive,… [Continue Reading]

The Best Sea of Thieves Session in a Long Time

November 10, 2023November 9, 2023 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves

On Wednesday, I got a message, asking to play Sea of Thieves. The last few sessions we’d played, it had been on a sloop, either solo or with Bacxaber, and, thanks to a combination of bugs and the game’s awful hit registration, we hadn’t managed to get a lot done. However, with Fox as a third crew member and a change of ship scenery, we decided to just go out, be Reapers and do some world events. Nice and simple. Nothing fancy. After all, there’s a season to be completed, and the rewards for this season are pretty good. For… [Continue Reading]

Reaper’s Bones – Lore versus Gameplay

November 5, 2023October 25, 2023 Medic 0 Comments lore, reapers, sea of thieves

Throughout the history of Sea of Thieves, there’s been an obvious bad guy behind it all. Captain Flameheart is a ruthless pirate, infused with various dark magics, who wants to violently take over the Sea of Thieves and become its king. Flameheart is a vile and vicious monster who will happily kill anyone in his path in order to complete his plan. For a long time though, Flameheart was kinda dead, and acted via proxies and loyal servants, particularly the Ashen Lords. In the current timeline in the game though, thanks to an adventure where we had to collect mystic… [Continue Reading]

If Sea of Thieves Had Blood

November 2, 2023October 22, 2023 Medic 0 Comments blood, sea of thieves, violence

Sea of Thieves is a completely bloodless game. Despite the amount of murder that goes on, there is not a single drop of blood to be seen. Ghosts explode into green clouds, skeletons disintegrate into bone dust and human pirates keel over and slowly fade away, rather than ragdolling on death, their souls slowly floating upwards. You can kill sharks, snakes, pigs and chickens for food and they disappear into puffs of smoke, while megalodons and krakens screech in agony before sinking beneath the waves. There’s no blood what so ever. Probably the closest thing to blood is either some… [Continue Reading]

Season Ten Is Alright

October 23, 2023October 21, 2023 Medic 0 Comments guilds, sea of thieves, season 10

Season 10 of Sea of Thieves has finally come out, way after Season 9 wore out its welcome. It brings some new features and a bunch of quality of life changes, with the biggest new thing being guilds. But is Season 10 any good? Well… First things first, we haven’t gotten all of Season 10 yet. For reasons unknown, the three biggest features have been split into three parts. Part 1, guilds, are already out. The new PvP-ish mission will come out in November, while Safer Seas isn’t coming until December. What we’ve been given are some of the QoL… [Continue Reading]

“Once Safer Seas comes out, will you ever play High Seas again?”

October 21, 2023October 10, 2023 Medic 0 Comments high seas, safer seas, sea of thieves

Sometimes, asking questions is a good thing. Forums and sites like Reddit and Discord can give you all sorts of information if you ask a good question. The other day, I had a question of my own. After reading a post in r/seaofthieves with the announcement of Safer Seas, I was curious on how many people would remain in Safer Seas and whether they’d return to High Seas once they’d reached their goals. So I basically just went ahead and asked the question. “Once Safer Seas comes out, will you ever play High Seas again?” I got a LOT of… [Continue Reading]

A Biased Opinion on the Seas

October 15, 2023October 15, 2023 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves

The other day, I wrote an article about Safer Seas, the new mode that is coming to Sea of Thieves in December, as part of Season 10. The whole idea behind Safer Seas is that you can sail alone, with a crew, and not be disrupted by anyone. It’s basically a temporary private server for you and your friends. Now, when I wrote this article, I was kinda against the whole idea, fearing that it might suck the life out of playing the normal game mode. I’ve noticed this on other articles as well, and I think I have a… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts on Safer Seas

October 13, 2023October 2, 2023 Medic 0 Comments safer seas, sea of thieves

In Season 10, Sea of Thieves is introducing a new game mode. Coming in December 2023, we will gain access to Safer Seas, which works similarly to sailing the normal High Seas, except it’s your own private instance. Basically, by playing Safer Seas, you can explore the Sea of Thieves with your crew and no one else. It’s basically a private server, although you still need to be connected to the internet. However, despite containing the entirety of the Sea of Thieves, playing Safer Seas has some downsides. The most noticeable change is that you earn 70% less gold. While… [Continue Reading]

A Lack of Pirate Clothing

October 11, 2023September 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments clothes, cosmetics, pirate, sea of thieves

One of the main goals in the Sea of Thieves is to make your pirate look good. If you visit the shops on any outpost, most of them are selling cosmetics for you to buy. Some are premium, some aren’t. But there are a lot of cool things to buy, to make your pirate look cooler. There’s something odd about all of this though. There’s a bit of a lack of, well, clothing for pirates. Admittedly, there are plenty of pirate captain clothes. If you want to look like a pirate captain, then you can buy all sorts of jackets… [Continue Reading]

Sea of Thieves Isn’t A Hard Game

October 6, 2023September 24, 2023 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves

I’ve been playing Sea of Thieves for a while now, and I like to think I am quite good at it. Sure, I’m not amazing, but I can get in a boat, sail it to an island or two and shoot some skeletons or ghosts. I’d struggle to do a Legend of the Veil quest on my own, however, I am at least somewhat competent. However, I don’t really have that many hours in Sea of Thieves, and I play rather irregularly, meaning that I don’t really get much practice. I also play with very, very competent pirates so I… [Continue Reading]
