That wind artifact is amazing
Can't wait! The last few Sat nights I've been playing with some mates as we build our guild.
We had a new 4th last night who's talked another into it, no idea how we try to make it work with a 3 and a 2 but we will.
Loved the zips in Monkey Island, looking forward to them in the arena.

Neat. As it happens I am a newly returning year 1 pirate legend trying out the game again with 3 newbie friends, hopefully we don't get blasted to bits by sweats too much. I don't claim to know the player numbers but I assume at this point in the game's life mostly the pro pirates remain.
Wish they'd allow people to set sail with two ships (maybe two brigantines so up to 6 players).
Also, these little dudes for any owl enthusiasts out there 🦉

I'm reserving judgement because this mechanic could have a disproportionately negative impact on solo PvP players.
It's honestly never really gotten to that point, but especially is true this past few days as ps5 players have trickled in.
OP
OP
They don't make rules, they just give you tools to be a pirate. Pirate how you want to.
I recommend watching one of the SoT partner streamers on Twitch for a couple of hours.
Think what would a pirate do, what that type of fantasy would be like.
Boom Sea of Thieves.
I wholeheartedly believe that it's the best pirate game to ever be conceived in multiplayer form.
Just find the chunkiest pirate you can and then customise it with cosmetics (hair, beard, scars etc.)
You sail around until you see a group of 12 year olds all happy with the mediocre loot that they've been hoarding for five hours and then you sink them, take their treasure and feast on their tears while they cry in voice chat.
100%. You can sail a sloop, which maxes out at 2 players, and gives you a small, nimble ship that isn't as cumbersome to sail.
You'll be at a disadvantage in High Seas if a larger ship and crew come after you, but you can do everything the game has to offer with just 2 people. Heck, you can do it solo, though everything takes a bit longer and you have less margin for error.
Will they ever…. add a third person view? I've tried SoT a couple times, but just can't get into the first person view in a game like this. 🤷🏼♂️
And heck, I'll throw it out there, if anyone is diving in for the first time this week and wants someone to show them the ropes a bit, feel free to DM me. I wouldn't say I'm a great player in PvP or anything, but I've logged hundreds and hundreds of hours over the years, and I'm excited to see more people experiencing this game!
I doubt that would ever happen. Much of the game is balanced around only being able to see what is directly in front of you.
To further add to the other response on this; dynamic world event content also scales to the size of the crew engaging with it too.
Smaller boats/crew sizes will have an easier (but proportionally similar) time killing bosses and the like to make up for your size.
Everything is cosmetic, there is no traditional progression. You get dumped into a true open world after the tutorial and you just do what you feel like doing.
There are Tall Tales, which are more narrative-driven quests (including POTC and Monkey Island). There are Voyages, which are one-off quests that involve killing enemies, collecting treasure, or shipping materials. There are a few different factions you can sail under to earn reputation (and more cosmetics and gold as a result). They recently streamlined all the quest stuff so you can access it from the table on your ship (before you had to go around to different locations to kick things off).
Treasures get sold to factions for gold and reputation. If your ship sinks, all the treasures are forfeit unless you can manage to get back to them before they sink too. You can swipe treasures off of anyone else's ship and sell them yourself. The more people you have playing with you, the bigger the ships you can use.
I've been toying around with the new tools this morning. Really, really hoping I can get my old crew together for a late night session tonight.
I found that a coordinated two person sloop can absolutely wreck an unorganized galleon crew, which was the majority of encounters.
Does the sloop still move faster against the wind than a galleon? I recall using that trick to get away from galleons, while having one of us jump off to board them and anchor them. Then turn the sloop while in a blind spot of theirs and start unloading cannonballs.
Once they are scattered having to repair then have someone board to keep them occupied.
Yes, it does still sail faster going into the wind. Usually my go-to tactic while solo slooping to try to get someone to give up the chase.
Stoked. Installing on a new lower-end gaming laptop just for the heck of it. We're gettin' the crew back to gether.
I'm apparently still a sucker for a good trailer like this.

Looks really fun, fine I'll install on PC. Played a ton and got to Pirate Legend a while back, these changes since I last played look really exciting.
I liked that option, ususally was cheaper than buying the equivalent in coins :I
