Played for an hour with some mates. Peak of the experience came when we were all sailing through a storm, crazy water overflowing on the ship, everyone panicking. I set the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack to play with a Discord bot. It was a beautiful moment.
Shadowplay decided to not work and clip any of it. Lame.

I'm now almost 3 hours in and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
The world is beautiful, but I took my first voyage which is seemingly to deliver 2 chickens? I have no idea how to get a chicken. I found some, tried to pick them up or kill them, nothing works.
I'm not having any fun :(

You a cop, huh. Skeleton punks never learn.Bonus skellington running away just before I sic my piggy on him:
Great gifs!
Finally had time to play this morning. Got in to the game with no issues and joined a guy from PA on a sloop. Completed some missions, looted a shipwreck, killed some skellies, took their heads, hoarded some gold, made a new gaming buddy, had a good time. Can't wait to set sail again after work.
Read the instruction map, including the small print on the bottom.
You need to get cages from the vendor first
Hopped on today for a little solo sailing. Came across an active Skull Fort. Took me almost two hours to take it down by myself. Not one other player showed up.
When I finally got the key to the vault, I was shitting pants thinking this was when a full Galleon crew would show up! Luckily I was able to get all the loot on my Sloop and safely return it to an outpost. Cha-Ching!

go to the Merchant that gave you the quest, you'll get a couple of chicken coops from him/her.
You should join the discord linked in the OP and get a couple of people from here to show you the ropes. Starting solo is definitely not something I'd recommend.
Now that I've seen the flying ship with my own eyes, the Kraken is the next thing to cross of my Sea of Thieves bucket list.
Do yourself a favor and start with the gold hoarder voyages (the dude in the tent) you'll get a map with an X on it that will resemble an island and you find the island and sail to it. It's IMO the most enjoyable of the three merchants. The quests you are doing seem to be the most frustrating to me.
Those 5 minutes or so between opening the vault and leaving the fort with your hard-earned rewards is one of the more tense periods I've felt in a game in years and that was with other crew mates.
I can't imagine how nerve-wracking it is when you're on your own.
Fuck i thought i was the only good looking hot guy on the seas...
I love this game.
Selling my treasure on islands with random players was my fault.
I love the simplicity.
I love the atmosphere.
There isn't any stress or balance issue because every player is the same. There are no level 50 ships that completely destroy beginner players. There aren't any op weapons or skills.
It's just an adventure. Alone or in a crew (with randoms or friends). It's something special.
edit: I really hope they will add an offline SP mode though.

Has anyone else experienced mic issues with this on PC? It seems I can hear people but they can't hear me. I've tried a bunch of fixes but no joy so far.
I tried, but after 1 hours i didn't found one that was ugly enough :(
if i wasnt trying to get a pirate as close to my random closed beta one as possible, i probably wouldve gone with this old timer who cracked me up when he appeared
he had a "most interesting man in the world after a bender" vibe to him
Picked up some chickens, got attacked by the Kraken, defended ourselves against the Kraken even after it entangled our ship and tried to pull us under, chicken's drowned in the cargo hold as we obviously took on water. Pretty funny. We should have put our chickens in the Crow's Nest. Lesson learned.
Went on a solo trip with not much problems, keeps your lamps off at night, cash in fast, be as much straight as you can and it should work OK.
Very nice game.

All of these pirate pics makes me wonder why on earth mine is wearing a shirt. It will be remedied shortly.
Found a message in a bottle that wanted me to take out 4 captains. Little did I know it was on a tiny ass island and it involved shadow and metal skeltons.
Needless to say I left the island with zero cannon balls and bananas left but I left with their skulls.

Just made my maiden voyage... Gotta be honest, my first attempt at docking went well :)
Still very early, but I think this game will have staying power!

Gutted that I lost 17k, and it doesn't seem to have come back.
Luckily I got a game pass trial for this game because if I lost that 17k outside of it I'd be sad.
