Is there any reason, other than you just have too many duobloons, to run the merc voyage more than once?
I guess if you want a confirmed three grog chests for commendations? Or if you want a nice varied beginner quest to take new friends on. But no, no real reason to repeat it.
running a solo merchant quest and i'm attacked by a meg. mid patch job following an attack and my bucket disappears. completely glitched out of my inventory. sunk.
fuck

Doubloons are great for leveling up + they might come handy in the future with doubloon exclusive content.
I'm a PL and I'm hoarding them like crazy.
Pls no. They are a great addition.
You shouldn't have much trouble, the quest triggers easy skeletons (go down after 3 sword swings, no guns apart from captains) and isn't very long. Just be careful when getting the final 3 drunken chests, greedy pirates might try to rob ya!
Did the merchant quest and took down a stronghold with my friends last night
Like 25k or more in the run, damn

So what's with the 3 final drunken chests? I already got one (from the X map), the riddle didn't have a drunken chest and all I got left is the crates thing and the captains.
Oh and yeah, already got a Brig following me (solo on a Sloop), but I killed the guy that jumped on my ship and when they kept following me I got them trying to find me along the wrong direction (did a 180 turn behind some rocks and hid there, then moved around when I assumed they were on the other side, then kept going straight and after a while I saw them fading into the fog).
After you've finished all quests, you'll get a final map with the 3 drunken chests - the one you've already got is bonus :)
Nice one ;)
Welp, way to end this voyage. After spending so much time solo fighting a fucking KRAKEN, a skeleton ship almost wrecking me as I'm reaching an outpost, then finally getting the 3 drunk barrels and just as I'm hitting the outpost (literally already down by the beach on my rowboat) a galleon comes by, wrecks my ship, kills me and I respawn in the other side of the fucking world map. And what I don't understand is that they literally came out of nowhere, straight towards me and moved around me a bunch of times trying to take me down until I landed into the island. Could they have known that I was carrying this stuff or something???
Ugh. At least I got the voyage done and was able to sell one of the 3 barrels, but I assume they found the other 2 and sold them. Lost motivation to play this solo anymore since it seems like the game actively fucks with you in those situations more than I've experienced when playing on a Brig or even a Galleon.
Oh well! I mean, I know this is what the game is about, obviously. But still a good reminder to not play this solo, at least unless I plan on just being on the griefing side (and I don't like doing that, so...).
Edit: btw, I'm just salty now and I know I'll go back to it. Still, god damnit Rare, you could balance things out a bit so that playing solo isn't a suicide mission.

I feel your pain man after my solo endeavour today. I managed to have a pretty smooth, relaxing sailing experience where I managed to get about 7 chests without any hassle or interruption. But then on the way to the outpost I also came across a kraken whilst in a storm and it was a situation that's impossible to win on your own, so I lost all 7 chests thanks to some sheer random bad luck.
They really need to make things easier for solo people.
thank god i'm done with the devils roar merchant voyages, those were a pain in the ass. pick up 8 crates from this guy on an erupting volcano, then sail them to the opposite side of the map. oh, is that a meg attacking you? say goodbye to your 4 rum bottle crates!
oh shit oh shit oh shit
PSYCH!
oh shit oh shit oh shit
PSYCH!

Hello, I just got a friend code for PC which I can use to play for free until a certain date. I have been playing solo and enjoy the game so far but I can't seem to get the voice chat to work. I've tried allowing my Sea of Thieves and the Xbox app access to my microphone and also tried changing settings in the game itself, but I can't get it to work. Could anyone help me with this problem. Thank you.
Haha OMG, did it also grab / slap the skelly ship? Would be hilarious if it would also suck up the skellies.
Last week, I had a Kraken and Meg back to back, was just like "Nah f*ck this", took my rowboat and gtfo'ed :)
there were a few times it looked like a wrap was about to happen but the tentacle would just clip through & disappear. tbh it mightve been ones pointed at our boat that was going under the waves coincidentally as the skelly ship was passing by
A friend and I, a sloop, a volcano erupting, a skelly ship and a megalodon. Shit was intense, but we survived.
Yesterday we had a skelly ship + megalodon combo again, but this time Meg went after them. It was hilarious. Loving all the changes they have introduced to the game (started playing again a few weeks ago after 5-6 months of not touching it).

They really don't. That's the problem right now: the endgame for Legends is to sail around and make their own fun while grinding commendations. Chasing and sinking/robbing people is way more fun than grinding out Devil's Roar cargo runs
I know you're right :( I was trying to make myself feel better about my failures by making them the bad guys haha.
Have Rare made this game more mean spirited? I got attacked by a skeleton crew whilst parked up at an outpost! Couldn't catch a break last night whatsoever.
I've been playing a lot of Apex recently, but I think I'm going to have to put it down to the side this week for the SoT Pinoeer, instead.
wait, whats going on tomorrow?
oh.
OH.
Can some Pioneers add me on XBL in the hopes of getting a good Pioneer crew for testing.... Stuff? :)
Not being a pioneer.
This would probably get over 1000 upvotes on the subreddit.
Seriously, gonna need a crew of fellow Pioneers - add me on XBL, maybe drop me a PM so I know who you are. Will be doing my very best to get on this evening. :)
That's if I ever get the Pioneer emails :(
I'll just be on Pioneer all weekend. I should make my time then :p
EDIT: Seeing all the times are the same. Someone mind PM'ing the times then?
