Several Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Run Away in Sea of Thieves

When you’re sailing on the Sea of Thieves, there’s always a ton of adventure to be had. From looting ghost forts to finding lost relics, there’s plenty of gold and treasure to be had. However, you’re rarely ever alone, and an enemy ship could turn up at any moment. While some people see an enemy ship as an opportunity, most pirates we encounter try to run away and flee. But that’s the worst thing you can do. Here are several reasons as to why you should fight back, rather than run away. It’s quicker If someone is pursuing you, they… [Continue Reading]

You Can’t Always Win in Video Games

The other day, the Sea of Thieves was particularly treacherous. Every ship we came across was jittery and aggressive, and loot and resources were pretty sparse. It seemed that pretty much everyone was out for blood, when we just wanted to battle a skelly fort. We hadn’t done much actual killing intentionally. Most of our attacks were self defense, and people getting too close to our skelly fort and the Ashen Lord on it. Well, there was one other ship that wanted to attack us, then turned around and started running. We just chased after them, slowly catching up until… [Continue Reading]

Playing Sea of Thieves Solo Kinda Sucks

I love Sea of Thieves. It’s a great game where you can actually be a pirate, with no real moral ground to stand on. However, I’ve rarely played the game solo, and tend to avoid playing solo at all costs. Simply put, Sea of Thieves is very hostile for the single solo player. Too much for me to handle There is simply too much for one person to effectively do. Especially if you’re a newbie. I don’t want to call myself a newbie, but I am, my experience is very spread out. But there’s a ton of things to do.… [Continue Reading]

Why the Sloop is the Best Ship

On my first few voyages, I played either in a brig or a galleon. The brig and galleon Stormcloud ships are mighty beasts that tear through the seas, chewing up their opposition. To the point that people have seen the name Stormcloud and instantly bailed. Back in those early adventures, it was nice to have other people on board Bacxaber’s ship, because I was still learning the ropes. Lately though, I was invited to play on a sloop, which is for two people only. And boy did it improve my experience on sailing and combat. In a single session, Bacxaber… [Continue Reading]

A Gentle Fishing Trip for the Soul

Sometimes, violence isn’t on the menu. Instead, fish is on the menu. There are tons of commendations and the like that require fishing. The Hunter’s Call buys your fish and you can catch a bunch of different species in the varied waters of the Sea of Thieves. Fishing is also pretty peaceful, and is a great time to chat while. Which is why we spent two hours on the Stormcloud, simply fishing. The commendations we were working on required fishing for a specific species, the Pondie. The best place for fishing Pondies is the Fort of Fortune, whenever it’s not… [Continue Reading]

Fishing for Fortunes

I like fishing mini-games. They are almost always rather quiet and peaceful. It’s a chance to stop, take a break and, well, catch some fish. And by catching fish, we can slowly accumulate fortunes, much more money than you would think. My original fishing experiences come from Minecraft. Originally, fishing was genuinely slow and bad. You could only catch fish or random junk. That was only ever on vanilla Minecraft though. Many survival multiplayer servers however had plugins or mods that would make things more interesting. One of the earlier servers I played on, the more you used a tool… [Continue Reading]

It Should Have Been Ramsey

So a while back, we went into Ramsey’s office, only to see the word GUILTY scribbled across the walls. The Pirate Lord seemed completely unaware of this, and was just chilling out there. The signs all pointed towards a murder mystery, the case of the death of DeMarco, Ramsey’s son. From this picture, it seemed as if Ramsey had definitely done something wrong and was somehow connected to the death of his son, perhaps killing his son himself. This was all part of a murder mystery event, somewhat spurred on via Twitter. And, after a few weeks, we uncovered the… [Continue Reading]

In Love With the Sounds of Sea of Thieves

There’s a lot of things you can complain about in the Sea of Thieves. It’s a massive mish-mash of different sorts of adventures and quests, while also being somewhat unstable at various times, and has a really weird playerbase. But there is one thing in particular that Sea of Thieves really excels at: its sounds. That seems like a particularly odd thing to pick out. After all, the Sea of Thieves also has amazing water effects and its art style is very unique. Even if their newer clothing options look more like Fortnite skins rather than clothes for pirates. It’s… [Continue Reading]

A Quiet Day In the Sea of Thieves

You know what? Not every day is a day of bloodshed. Sometimes, you can just lay back, eat some fruit then run into a hidden vault to grab as much gold as possible. Turns out there’s more than just unlocking cosmetics and murdering people for their loot. Well, I say that, but really, part of the reason I play Sea of Thieves is to murder people and be a pirate, but you get what I mean. After all, we all need gold. And where do we get gold? Pretty much everywhere. So we raised a flag with the Gold Hoarders… [Continue Reading]

I Don’t Trust This Pirate Lord Guy

So there’s a guy who is kinda in charge of the Sea of Thieves. At the very least, he controls most of the outposts and keeps it raining money. The Sea of Thieves is a massive secret, cut off from the rest of humanity. And everything in the Sea of Thieves is somehow related to this self-proclaimed Pirate Lord. But there’s something off about this guy, and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe it’s because his name is Ramsey. Either way, I don’t trust this guy. So much power yet all you do is hide Ramsey is,… [Continue Reading]
