Sea of Thieves as a NEW Player in 2024 is... Insane 

Looks like the crew around the 19:00 mark repaired your ship but left it to burn to mess with you. They probably recognised you as a new player and took a degree of mercy on you.

as someone that first played this game in 2020 it is really entertaining to watch you play

rule 1 of Sea of Thieves "If a new player is seen and recognized, you dont mess with them repair the ship or any damages you have done and let them be"

4:50 If I had to guess, lightning hit your ship which blew up the gunpowder keg.

Day 1 player here, and videos like these are my favorite. Love seeing new players hop on and scratch the surface of what this game has to offer

It’s a real good tip that when you drop anchor, also raise your sails and then raise anchor. The ship won’t move and then when you are done with your island, you can just drop sails and leave much faster.

At the sovereign tent where you go to sell, once you own your own ship, go up the ladder. There's a platform with two harpoons you park your ship in front of the harpoons and you harpoon everything off of your ship. You could sell 100 items in like 30 seconds. It saves so much time

This is fascinating to watch a genuine new player experience the game I love so much. Awesome video!

also i want to mention that this was every entertaining to watch, i can barely remember how it was for me when i first started playing this game. But i got hooked very early on. And over the years i've had so much fun playing until i got to the point were there is nothing more for me to grind unless they release something new. But luckily i still meet some cool people on the seas and that is what drives me to come back

What a great video! It's super refreshing to see Sea of Thieves through the eyes of a newbie, reliving my first time playing all those years ago. I hope you're still enjoying yourself out there! I hope I run into you sometime - Your play style is super chill, and you seem like a genuinely nice guy :D

I would love to see a part two; it was so enjoyable to watch you play one of my favorite games of all time!

lmao. when you are killing that meg, you kept calling that fort tower a ship which actually made me feel nostalgic. when i first started, i legit thought everything was a ship and was scared to death

Super cool to watch your first experiences! I fell in love with this game a few months after launch, and with it's constant additions it's become a very cool game to explore. You'll find jerks like in any game but also could find some really special encounters. That's what keeps me coming back. I've got so many memories of encounters, failed and successful. Many funny stories. I'm happy to see people digging it, and if I come across new players in the game, my mate and I are always down to lend a helping hand. Keep at it!

This will be all of us ps5 players soon 😂

I'm just getting back into it too. Something I found, when you walk over where something is buried, you will hear a clunk clunk like knocking on wood. Totally helps. Also you can zoom in on the map. I'm playing on console so it's a stick click. I'm sure everyone else knows all this and what not but if not, now you do. 👍🏼

I absolutely loved all that! I'm only a couple of days into the game and have zero clue just yet and after the tutorial the game took me to Safer Seas automatically. I picked up a couple of missions from merchants and I'm about to log in, set sail and see how it all works. I'm glad it dropped me into Safer Seas really as I can learn the basic game/adventuring mechanics as if it is an extended tutorial. After I feel like I can handle the ship and missions, I'll maybe try High Seas. That said the next season is about to land and I think that will change the game a lot, so I may as well stay in Safer Seas until the next season drops.

I recently got into the game as well and its wild how differently everyone starts off! I pretty much never touched the shrines and treasuries until much later. I just kinda slammed my face into the big world events, which tend to attract a lot of people. It led to me sinking a lot, but it was great for learning solo pvp

As someone who has ... wayyy to much time in this game I always love seeing the new player perspective! Awesome video!

Man this was a great video. This game is still fun for me but really when you just start playing is the best time. going around doing your first quests, finding new features, meeting people who show you cool things. Idk what it is but learning the game is so much fun. knowing everything and grinding just doesn't have the same feel as going out and exploring and discovering new things.. this video bought that feeling back for me, and I enjoyed every second.

such a good quality video was shocked to see the subs you deffo deserve more and will see your growth. I also am starting sea of thieves as I have just bought a xbox this week.

Hey ! loved the video. i've been playing sea of thieves for a while now so here's a tip : you know how some times there are skulls or ship clouds in the sky ? well that's world events and they are really fun to do. since everybody in the map sees it, you may encounter other players and have to fight for the loot. oh and to become a pirate legend, you have to be lvl 50 not 75. One last tip : you know these three guys, the one where you sell skulls, the one where you sell chests and the one where you sell crates ? well you can buy quests from them. The best quest are the quest from the chest guy. you can buy a quest where you get a key to a vault then you can go to the vault and find a lot of chest. And if you want more people to play with, i'm free ! it's always a pleasure to help new players.

For new person, you opened the shrine really easy, my friends' first was hilarious trying to help them w/ that

I watched this entire video with a HUGE grin on my face. There is nothing I delight in more than the wonder and joy of Sea of Thieves through a new player's eyes. Watching them tinker and learn the mechanics and the little tricks is fascinating, watching them unravel the story of a tall tale for the first time, or the unbridled excitement when we make a huge haul of loot or make it out of a sticky situation by the skin of our teeth. I have been playing this game since August 2018, I am the salty vet who's done basically everything the game has to offer; but it's new players and their enthusiasm that they bring that gives me the greatest joy and makes this my favorite game of all time. Thank you for sharing your experience, and I wish you fair winds and lots of plunder on your pirate journey!

SoloSlooper since Beta here. I love the way you went into the game, a good mixture of PvE and PvP. You defenitely grasped the idea of gold not being worth alot already. It's the Commendations, that unlock the rare Cosmetics, where the beauty of this game lies ;-). I often find myself just grinding the numbers in the pirates log instead of the visible treasure in the game. A warm welcome to this gem of a game from my side. Cheers!

i havent even played this game but damn man the narration was soo good that the video finished without me realizing it.

That was a great video essay. Thank you for the work, you've put into this. Very enjoyable!

as someone who's been playing since season 5 i love seeing new people play this game i really hope you enjoy this crazy adventure some day you will become pirate legend and look back to this video and see how far you have come

the nice thing abou siren shrines is, that when your ship is in the purple circle, the water is calm. Like when you at a shipwreck or near isle and the storm wont have an effect to your ship :) just bit rainwater

This narration and editing is brilliantly authentic. I could feel all your anxiety and excitement. Felt like i was playing but i probably would of quit waaaay earlier 😂 . Great job

You are making this a LOT of Fun to watch!

Dittoz! You should make a video on the new massive update that dropped yesterday. A huge focus of it is streamlining the beginner experience and had you just started a couple of weeks later you probably would have had a much easier time starting out, although you did a great job!!! Sea of Thieves is in a interesting place right now and the potential for growth is huge, so please highlight in future videos (if there are more SoT related ones) that this game has become much more noob friendly. Thank you!

Very good video about my favorite game. I have been playing this since the beta and your video does it quite justice. Thank you for that.

i love this. so wholesome. this game is an adventure. i've played a ton of games and this is my favorite by far. even if i dont get on as much these days this game will touch u and test. the pvp is such a vibe. hitting shot is so satisfying. and the community has its bad apples like any other but for the most part its full of amazing ppl. GGs !!!

That was a fun watch. as a longtime player, and it's good to see a new player learning the ropes and not complain about getting sunk. It is all part of the game, and it just would not be the same without the threat of other players. One little tip, though it is not as big a deal on a sloop, when you come to a stop, at an island, or over a shrine etc, it is ok to drop your anchor to stop, but lower the sails and raise the anchor. This way you can quickly set sail by dropping your sails. This can be a life saver when you spot other ships headed your way.

My genuine salute really man. A person who is totally new to game learning pretty well and fast to understand the key features of the game really the absolute best. You rock it bro and one more thing i wanna see you becoming better at this game

Surprisingly good gameplay for a day 1😂. I do have a few tips to improve it tho 1: raise sails instead of anchoring for a faster escape 2: cannons will always land in the middle of the screen, unless you’re turning 3: raise sails halfway for sloop pvp, you’ll hit more cannon shots 4: try to get an emissary license ASAP, you make much more gold that way

This was such a great and enjoyable watch, hope you keep playing and having fun Sea of Thieves is an amazing :)

I loved watching this, it reminds me of my first few weeks playing. I started playing in season 7 and have about 1,000 hours invested as of now. I still love it very much but if I could go back to your position and do it all over again I would. Welcome to the pirate life! Maybe one day our paths will cross on the sea.

There's only two kinds of merchant emissary they're either incredibly bloodthirsty and kill anything that moves or they avoid all conflict

The “puller thing” is a harpoon and it’s my favorite feature in the game.i use it to maneuver my ship more than I use it to get loot

I just started in very late 2023 (roughly before christmas) and I kind of miss being new since all I did was relax all day in open crew learning new things in a chill enviroment (still need to learn loads). Would totally recommend this for any gamers who love survival games.

i don't know if you're reading this, just want to give ypu a few tips 3:42, 18:24 It's really hard to use cannons with your sails dropped all the way down. The optimal way to set your sail for the fight is only halfway down. This way your ship is moving slightly slower and is not affected this much by waves. 5:46 You should do everything to not let other players et on your ship during fights. If they are going for a ram try to turn out and get away from them. You could also use that to your adventage. Ramming ship is the most vulnurable ship, because you are out of reach of its cannons and you can shoot at them if you have an angle. 21:15 When the meg attacks you ship, you can jump to avoid knockback. 25:14 Dealing with skeleton ships is a lot easier if one of the crew members boards and kills skeletons, so they cannot shoot or repair the holes made by the cannoneer.

Man, the part at 4:50 took me a minute and a rewatch with a pause but it looks like you got SUPER unlucky where a bolt of lightning (from the storm) hit the gunpowder keg you stashed inside your canopy for safe keeping. The odds, man...

Great video! I'm getting pumped for this to release on PS5 so I can finally play.

Haven't been on this game for quite a while, but it's nice seeing newcomers enter this game. Great video as well, that symbolise the concept of learning on a new thing

I started playing this game around Christmas time and now its in my top 3 games ever, hope you enjoyed this as much as i did

I really like your music choices to show the mood of what's happening

This is nice, I haven’t played in years and gonna start again soon. It was such a fun game and I’m looking forward to playing it again :) thanks for the video

I love watching new Players just play and have fun. Hope you continue to have fun and the video was overall just fun to watch.

It’s always so cool to watch people experience this game for the first time. I started playing in 2018, and the game has changed so much since then so it’s always cool to see a fresh perspective on a game that I love so much.

I wish I could play SoT for the first time again. I've been playing it since release, but I really love these "first time" videos especially all the updates later. Nice video.

Bro this was great you should make more sea of thieves videos

small but sometimes lifesaving fact if you are on an island or on the mermaid shrine pull the anchor up so you only need to lower the sails and can escape faster

i love watching new players figuring things out. So funny, hope you keep playing, now you can make your guild, lots of cool new stuff on the horizon for next 2 seasons. I think you would love the pirates of the caribbean adventures.

cool video, also in my 100+ hours of gameplay I've never seen a ship roll xD make a part 2 :)

Another day one player here. So funny to watch you come in with all the hundreds of new content things that came out since then. I feel your pain but with work and some great partners you can learn the way

Wold have been happy to show you the ropes, I do that when I find a new player

I first started playing this game in late 2018. It is super fun to watch new players play the game for the first time.

For real, this is footage of a day One hunter of the Shrouded Ghost probably has both hg gold curses too.

looks like the first guy on your team is kinda new too based on how he sold that stuff, using the rowboat to get to the sovereign and also not using the harpoons to pull the loot on for skeleton ships you have to constantly hit them with cannons or they will repair, if you do it right they sink pretty quickly, fastest i've sunken one was like 30 seconds, skeleton ships have like infinite crew members and for the skelly galleons it's helpful to have someone on their ship killing any skeletons on repair over all you did pretty good and the video was entertaining

I thought I recognized your voice when I saw this video, then I realized that you're Dittozkul. Great content man!

Ive been playing this for a hot minute. But watching this video hinted at the way I used to feel in Sea of Thieves when I was new, and man that was a good, nostalgic feeling I got from watching this.

Just FYI, the treasure from that shipwreck, you can pull 5 or 6 out of the captain's quarters in one dive, and just let them float up.

Remember watching Sea of Thieves in 2019, now its coming on the PS5 and im going to get it, nostalgia hits hard man..

Well done on the shrine, I found that I could never open it until my friend told me how

As a guy that has been playing since 2019, thanks for playing, and showing everybody.

I honestly miss the feeling of my first voyage on the seas im glad that i can atleast see other people experience this awesome game from the start

Solo-sailing is my favorite way to play... it's the best way to get better. But man... it's an experience.

U did good 👑 im kinda new myself , but it wasnt this hard 4 me

When i played the closed beta on ps5, it threw me into a private game to which i played my final hours alone and confused where the PVP was. Only at the final hour did i close the game and boot it up to find that there’s matchmaking and i got lucky enough to be put in a crew that refused to explain anything to me which led to me just following their lead grabbing chest and sword fighting a lava lady 😭 can’t wait to try it some more in a few days

love seeing actual new players play a game and showing some progress , i hate the vods other ppl put out when they say they start from nothing to being the best in the game or whatever but have thousands of hours in the game , good job at making this enjoyable to watch thank you dittoz

8:15 those people are merchant emissaries, merchants usually stay neutral as long as you don't attack them they just sail by and don't want trouble that will delay their trade routes.

Early access for PS5 started today! No open crew till the 30th, though so excited to start playing. Loved the beta and wanted to play SOT since it's release.

5:17 lightning inpact blew up the gun powder keg dont take those onboard unless you wanna take the risk but they arent worth much but when you take kegs put them in the crows mast then only the mast breaks when it explodes

I have just gotten back into the game after a 2.5 year break and played for 50 hours the past 2 weeks and finally got pirate legend... this video is very entertaining becuause my experience back then was a whole lot different and I was surprised when 1 day ago I had an encounter where some galleon with 4 russians instead of clapping me (single 1 mast) just gave me their ressources after they sold their stuff even though they could have easily clapped me and take all my loot (1 Skeleton Fort, 1 Fort of the Dammed and some smaller stuff from 2 skeleton 1 masts) but they still decided not to. Also very interesting to see your progress in the game 👍

As someone who has played since launch day and over 200 days played its so refreshing to see a new player learn

It seems like you never did any Quests for the Merchant Alliance, I think those are one of the most fun things to do as you have to protect your cargo from other pirates and take care of it while you sail from one point to another as a delivery guy (Plants, snakes, chickens and silk all have different needs and snakes can be used defensively). You can also try fishing as it offers a much needed change of pace and drives you to lonelier locations and you may find Tall Tales at bars which are story like missions that add to the immersion of the game.

welcome to the seas sir! hope you stick around

when it comes to others, I am always friendly, I never shoot first. but if you start to fight then I'll have to also

I'm smiling so much seeing a new player having a blast with all this stuff.

It was only after watching this video and thinking back to when I first started that I realise how far I have come now, 900 hours later (frankly thats not even that much time compared to some of the other players in this game). Experienced players in this game (at least those of us who are NOT obsessively screaming on twitter about how this is supposed to be a "PVP" game), have a certain level of respect for new players and try to give them positive first experiences. This is why. Your first 100 hours in this game will shape how you see it for the rest of your game time.

Always wanted to play it but never actually did it until recently because some friends bought it on ps5 so I bought it on PC and we are having an absolute blast, i wish I played before !

The part were you killed a skelly cursed player as a beginner is wild

Also, welcome to Sea of Thieves, I've been here for years, and you've learned a ton in a very short time! Keep it up and you'll be the menace that new players flee

such a good video keep up your work

I started two weeks ago and only after 2 days of playing found out how sluggish and weird gunplay feels f.e not being able to shoot even tho your gun is out is due to some exploit that existed they tried to fix with a delay but this and the incredibly low fov make a otherwise so beautiful and fun game so unenjoyable for longer than 30 mins when the motionsickness starts kicking in and since i enjoy the pvp espacially solo sloop a lot it gets just unnecessarily frustrating. I really enjoyed the little adventure this video was tho

I just got this game with my friend and it has been a ton of fun. We played for 5 hours on our first session..

The " is it not like rust " , I felt that lmao

Just started playing Sea of Thieves last week, I already completed the battlepass up to 100 and level 40 to the 3 main factions and Reapers.

I just started playing for about a week now, and I gotta say you're handling things a LOT better than I am🤣🤣

When you get a chance you should play the story mode, there are even pirates of the Caribbean and monkey island quests

The lightning blew up the gunpowder keg you had in your boat.

5:12 a lightning struck a gunpowder barrel you had on board

Started on PS5 two weeks ago and not gonna lie when you’ve got 7-8 guys all from different places that have played multiple games together who form guild and can coordinate enough to get in the same server with multiple ships you can conquer most everything

I had my first day in sea of thieves a few days ago and me and my friend got bullied by 2 German kids who stalked us and would wait for us to repair our ship then set it on fire. Eventually we went to the safer seas mode and I am still clueless.

Really interesting to see the game from a new players perspective. I’ve been playing since the alpha test sessions and it’s great seeing the genuine excitement in your voice for SoT rather than quiet vets that know everything already

I have been playing for 3 YEARS and I’m worse then this man…

You can see map from sloop from top deck if you look down out the back

I also just found the game just a few weeks ago, got sunk a few times trying to figure out what was even happening lol. Love the game so far and cant get enough of it! haha

This was really fun thanks, the fact that gold in SoT is almost only for cosmetic is a good thing I thing, the fact that you cannot "upgrade" your gears with it put everyone at the same place, the only power difference between two players is personal skill, which is great, still you can also use gold to buy better missions, emissary flags and early resources, so it's cool. Also little beginner tips : most of the community say that explosive kegs on your ship is a mistake, which is not false, with a bit of bad luck your ship can get nuked, unless you put it on the mast, in this case only your mast will get nuked, but they are really useful when you get chased, you can try to board the enemy with it, almost 100% guaranteed win but it's risky, or you can drop it in the water and try to snipe it when it near the enemy vessel, in anyway it's not worth it if you get in a active fight or if you sure you'll get in they're line of fire for a long enough time, sup!
