@@massivespongeoldhe clearly means “nearly perfect characters” due, of course, to the fact that this guide guarantees players win %96.66 of solo matches.
to my surprise, these tips worked. Especially the opening move of how to raise sails and turning wheel directions. 10 levels in a few hours is a big improvement!
I approve of this! Quick extra tip: if you shoot most parts of both sides on an enemy solo boat in succession, they can't bucket it all and you win without even needing to board (if you really don't like deckfights)
on the other hand, left side is only an advantage if you are parallel so the other player is using the right ones :D and on the other other hand, if you put a supplies crate closer, you can have an advantage even on the right side.
@@trykozmaksym I see where you are coming from, but it’s undeniable that when you bucket it’s worse, there are more holes and the first mast rep is on right and the stairs are there and the mast drops on the right, so left side will always have an advantage over right. If you both show the same side then 100% it doesn’t matter, but why bother taking the risk unless it’s necessary, the left side advantage is awesome!

Awesome video mate. Question, when you said if they go left at the start you parallel and want to be faster than them and shoot for a bit, what comes next? I'm guessing you eventually wanna turn in so they either nose you or are forced to enter an orbital? Or do you just keep paralleling?
Great question! The idea is to get ahead of them and turn left to make them nose you, ideally you can chop their mast too, The main advantage of taking this parallel is that they have the downside giving their right side to you. 🙂
this works on players convinced they always need to keep they sails half-raised :D but they can just slightly turn in the same direction and keep shooting, or even nose for a brief moment if the distance allows to shoot with the left.
I bucket at mid-deck, and repair when: 1. I have right side holes, 2. The opponent is dead and cant cannon, 3. I am waiting on my turn to cannon again / I cant hit cannons from current position
this is a good guide but for me the waves make my canon shots so bad (i shoot a canon its not high enough so i aim up a tiny bit then it goes over the ship)
I like to put wood crate next to mast, (back right pointing at stairs), and cannonball crate right beneath cannon, if I buy storage crate I place it on the grate and fill with chains food wood and cannonballs
I have to ask what kept you motivated? Because I'm only level 200 and that's because there is nothing between 200 and 1000 For rewards. I understand completely that the golden skeleton is pretty darn cool. but Between 200 and the golden skeleton. What kept you motivated to that?
Honestly I respect trying to help people, but the worst part of hourglass is every match is predictable due to certain ‘metas’ Starts 1-3 ways >both turn left and then circle/reset out if they take any damage >one rams and tdms >loss farmers lel Then moves on to mid-game, usually goes 1 of 2 ways >opponent takes damage and disengages >you take damage and disengage Repeat as many times as either of you decide or unless one of you boards Then it goes to endgame, this is more unique but usually ends with someone death spiraling or one player boarding and camping Repeat until burnt out
I’ve never heard “win or learn mentality”. Love it, and shorter way to say what I’m constantly telling my casual SoT friends that have a hard time wanting to play after an L, even if we win multiple fights
When the opponent runs away to make repairs it can be a little frustrating bc it means that you were winning and they turned out wasting ur time and supplies, but I like to take it as a positive and to understand that I am winning / scaring them off. My main strategy to re-engage, is to either full sail straight at them, with a slight turn to keep left side pointed at them, or to simply allow them to reset (if they are too far away to bother chasing) and re-engage after. If they turn out often then lt becomes time to chase them constantly and close distance, if it’s the first or second reset then I’ll let them reset unless I can chain their mast!
Great video but be careful with your sound levels. At some points you can barely hear what you say cuz the music is too loud. Your voice should always be louder than the music
Unfortunately that happens sometimes, if you close the distance you will eventually catch up, but you have to hit chain shots. It all comes with practice. One thing you can do with runners is just go watch RU-vid while they run xD!
I absolutely understand this mentality, I mainly recommend buying captain fruit however, as it can be very helpful as you don’t have to eat three coconuts on every hit!
How is all of this not just the obvious thing to do? I mean telling people to prioritise keeping angle more over mast could help but i feel like there are much more important tips about helming and cannon aim, as well as pressure management.
i almost got my 10 streak in solo but when i did my 10th fight i got matched with a cheater who missed the board tand then teleported back to my ladder and killed me
@@massivespongeold Just saying, all in all its a really good guide, but I did know all of that as I've been playing for a long time over the course of 3 years, but doesnt matter how much i learned when i end up getting one balled constantly
Risk ur mast, sometimes allowing them to be winning (especially if the runner is inexperienced) can help them have the confidence to stay in the fight. I generally follow with full sail and focus their mast, and then raise my sails again!
Does anyone have any tips on keeping a focused mindset during fights, I'm great with PVE but I have ADHD which I believe makes it so much harder for me, for some reason when i'm agaist a real player my heart rate goes through the roof, I tense up and really struggle keeping my hand to eye coordination and concentration in order, and pretty much lose every time, especially when I'm outnumbered even with just a 1 vs 2 man crew sloop battle, if it's 2 or more players on anything more than a sloop I'm basically fucked if I wasn't already. It's definetly more prominent when I've got more to lose with a ship full of treasure as I'm always thinking about the loss and the time that would be wasted which is one of my biggest hatreds and only makes it harder to accept, wasting time. But even without anything to lose, I still can't concentrate like I cant with PVE, it all stresses me out so much, I've never been into PVP but this game doesn't often allow me to just chill and get high, while sailing around and exploring/adventuring like I want to, and the safer seas thing they announced pisses me off still because they're treating it as something for new players, especially with the 30% rewards and level 40 emissary cap (the reduction I get but 30% still feels drastic, and the level cap just feels stupid, I'm already above 40 on all my emissaries, what happens now? Will I even get to do the Athena stuff on there?) They're not thinking about people like me that simply don't want a part in that side of the game. I feel like i'm missing something key in PVP, cause this is often a problem for me in other games too, and the reason I've always stuck to singleplayer or PVE games, which obviously isn't making me any better for when a game does involve PVP, hence my problem right now. I want to branch out into more of this kind of gaming but I just feel so behind in skill to everyone else being a casual or singleplayer/solo gamer all my life, and like I'm never gonna be able to catch up, I don't have the time or energy to commit hours of my life every day to improve, so should I just give up trying or what? there's way too many sweats in games nowadays its all way too unbalanced for people like me, and I just feel neglected in all the new content games are releasing with competitiveness as the focus. Thank you for reading if anyone did, and any advice would be super appreciated.
I would recommend putting yourself in pvp situations on a duo sloop, this way it’s not entirely on you to win, but it is still pvp, that way you can learn with the help of a crewmate. So if you can find a duo to queue hourglass with or just hop servers and fight any boat you see, that would be helpful! PvP in most games has a tough learning curve, but the only way to get used to it is to immerse yourself in it and learn! Try and learn from any mistake you make in PvP and come out a stronger player!
I can’t stress how much I want the ghost curse. But idk if something is wrong with me, but I just find PvP in this game so incredibly boring and slow. I physically cannot force myself to play more than 3 HG matches a day because I just start to dread diving. It’s such a chore to do, so i don’t think I’m getting that sexy ghost curse anytime soon
my strat is i cant be asked for navel so i just shoot over with pistol snipe and try and get on their boat, once i make it on i camp them till they leave
Not to worry mate, more advanced guides in the making! In the meantime I think the biggest thing to improve with is the “win or learn attitude”. Trying to learn from every game is essential to improvement.
Hey would someone here maybe be able to carry me in some pvp to help me learn cuz I’m trying to get skeleton curse but it’s like impossible for me cuz I suck so badly 😢
paralel position is a thing we dont want we want an advantage so its important gaining that advantage first so we should watch the opponents movements direction and counter it if he wants to give cannons angle turning we should turn before him if they want to keep the distance sooo try to be close them is a mistake just an universal thing opponent is a prey so we want to hunt them there is not a certain thing to achive this u should keep your eyes open
I think I understand some of what you are saying, however there are many different ways to take an advantage especially from a parallel. In fact we already get an advantage from the opponent giving their right against our left, I find that I can further extend this advantage by getting in front using full sails (only in parallel), I don’t suggest closing distance per se, but it is essential eventually, as to close out the fight you need to immobilise your opponent!
🤣 playtime is certainly helpful, but hopefully engaging with all these tips should help anyone out to get there! (I think the win or learn mindset is an underrated concept!)
This can be the case, largely you can avoid dying / getting one balled with practice and awareness. If you drain the water out of ur boat regularly in endgame scenarios, a one ball can still be survived!
lol I love the salty pirates, they’ll never learn why they lose, concentrating after sink on just getting a revenge shot. I will say I’ve been doing this hard right, then turn left in. If you keep sails turned right, you can keep them full as most of the time the wind won’t be in them. This gives an advantage of not having to adjust once they try to run, you only have to adjust wheel. I don’t bother half raised anymore, harder for cheats when you are full sail…. Everything else is great
I understand where you are coming from, but I find that full sailing even when it’s all the way to the right, still just prolongs the fight and makes it harder to maintain angle, especially against good players, it will also make it a bit harder to catch mast should it get chained!
@@massivespongeold I have gone up against some of the best though, it also makes it harder for them though, especially if you get used to shooting at that speed/angle. But the issue remains you will have to raise once in a death spiral, adjust wheel, and repair. That’s not including raising mast as you mentioned, but I’ve found sometimes increasing pressure on them is what’s best once mast is down anyway. Every game varies, and I think your points are best, but I’ve won countless matches being the turtle, repairing and keeping pressure. Some just can’t bucket and repair as quickly, or also are very afraid of being boarded. As you said, never go in a match with the expectation to win, and you’ll never lose. I always go in to have fun, win or lose. I’ve learned a lot. The most frustrating player is the one that constantly runs, worse than a cheater 😆. If they’re a cheater and a bad player you can still beat them, if they’re a cheater and a half assed player, it’ll be over quick. A runner, I’ve let my ego get to me and let a match run over two hours chasing and trying to board. Bane of my existence 😆
These aren't 96.66% winrate strats, these are 61% winrate stats. Where's the juicy stuff? Where's the cheese? "Make sure you buy supplies!" "Make sure you're turning so your cannon can hit!" "Losing cause your mast is down? Just kill them lol" these really aren't the tips that let you churn out allegiance levels.
Fair point! This was intended to be a good basis, more videos are coming! I think the tip of keeping left side, not worrying about mast and prioritising wheel turn is p good! I also think the win or learn mindset is essential!
