The Killer Whale is the correct set for me. All I want to do is fish, and the only loot I collect is from the ungodly amount of Ocean Crawlers, spirits, and skeletons that come onto island shores when I'm collecting bait. Say what you will, but I'm a fisherman.
You know what's ironic about Reapers? It's said that they stand for "battle and bloodshed", but I've been killed more by non-emissary ships with no loot and more bloodlust than Michael Myers.
Honestly tho! I never understand people who don’t fly reapers while picking more fights than an alcoholic baby-daddy. Literally just leaving money on the table.
All my complaints about excessive pvp would go away if the only times I was sunk I was an emissary, they were the same trading company as me, they were reaper emissaries, had the reaper flag on or I was doing a world event or started the hostilities. Almost every single time I was sunk it was because I was "in the way" when another crew wanted to park at an outpost, I was fishing/doing a tall tale or simply I guess the fact alone the amount of cannonballs they spend of me has the likelyhood to be recovered with a bonus 1 or 2 was enough reason.
me and my bro were just tryna do some noice treasure quests until a reaper emissary ship spotted us and decided to chase us down to the end of the planet. in the end i re-instated why I was the one driving the boat by losing them in the fog of the cursed golden sands island. after that, they messaged my friend some salty stuff and said they would come back for us when they were reaper 5. in the end they chased us to an outpost where there was another crew and their brig that was generous enough to rid us of those chasers.
@@yodasnot-so-wellcousin445 if its still on the line and you get cannoned or outright killed you'll lose it. I've also panicked, hit my food hotkey and accidentally eaten fish too many times
Aw dude you just reminded me! Some lame ass came up to me while storm fishing, told me he had a stormfish on his hook still, then goes on to sniper shot me, friend boards to make sure I can’t live to repair, and sinks me. I hate people sometimes
I've kinda turned it into a little game since i got the legendary hunter of the sea of thieves title. I still sometimes sail out with the full ship set and offer people the fish i have on me for 1 piece of loot... depending on wether i just came from a shipwreck before you may trade a tiny trinket for splashtails or get a trophy shadow stormfish
Ah, a real pirate. I too enjoy the game more drunk, calms my nerves so that I don't stress out about loosing my stuff. I genuinely got an eye twitch once until I sold all my stuff once it got to a somewhat reasonable amount. Didn't even meet another ship that entire session, gold will do that to ya
I like how I got to the title screen for the Hunter stereotype as I read "They're terrifying" so terrifying that a comment and the video both about them managed to link up in perfect timing
Not gonna lie, I am a hunter sloop and no one realizes how deadly they can be. Even though it’s a cheap set and easy to get, it’s used by terrifying people and they have no remorse whatsoever.
I used the admiral hull on a sloop alot and everytime I saw another ship I usually would leave the island I am at as soon as I could to avoid getting sunk (I could probably count on my hand how many friendlies I encountered). Which developed my motto of "if there's another sail it's time to hit the trail"
Same, if my crew is doing the quest I'm usually up in the crows nest scanning the horizon for even a pixel of a ship in the distance to give them heads up as quick as possible
my crew of dumbfucks I play with have a different motto. "Another sail means rain some hail." aka. we are murder hobos and somehow manage to get away with this shit despite only one of us on cannon for a brig
That part about Ghost ships "barrowing down on smaller ships like raging bulls" is definitely true. I was on a sloop and had just sank a skelly sloop, when I went to go poon the loot, a ghost galleon came out of *nowhere* and practically mounted my ship. I didn't survive after that..
Here's the thing: *Inhales* *I wasn't.* Better yet, I checked my horizon before I went for it and they were nowhere to be seen. Maybe they server merged?
So he basically describes anyone using a Gold Hoarder set as "somewhat competent, but still heavily paranoid and generally cowardly"? Yeah... yeah, that's me alright...
A small thing about the Xbox set. Yes, it's "harder" to play with a controller than keyboard and mouse, but 90% of the combat isn't about the quickscoping and sensitivity, it's about tactics. Know where your enemy is, what they are doing and predict what they are going to do, and you can wreck them. I play with a controller despite being on PC (long story), and I still win a majority of the time against other players, because I actually know what I'm doing. So the controller isn't even an excuse! Learn to adapt.
Honestly as an Xbox player I was just really confused about that part of the video, I never felt that I was at a disadvantage because of the hardware, kind of just felt really gratuitous here...
The ashen dragon stereotype is so fucking accurate. My friends use only ashen dragon stuff and say everything else is bad. Then proceed to complain about everything like “how did we already sink” when they had 3 kegs BENEATH DECKS THE REAPER ONE IS EVEN MORE ACCURATE. They FUCKING COMPLAIN WHEN ATTACKED.
Back when I did play alot of SoT, every time I went reaper I sorta just thought "If I make almost a million gold today then cool, if I sink after a damn good fight also cool". Not sure why that's not the go to mindset for reapers
I really enjoy the Black Pearl for 1 reason. I just love the movies. Plain and simple. It feels fantastic playing with my regular crew on the galleon with it on and taking down attacking ships while my character is in the Captain Barbossa costume.
Ikr? I don't dress myself up or RP as the movies, but man it's fun having the soundtrack playing while doing some dumb shit solo on a sloop pretending to be Jack Sparrow. ... Well, I guess I do RP then.
I make my own outfits, but I love the Pearl. The lore behind it, the films they come from, and the fact they're not over the top like some of these. I just own this and the Queen Anne's but I don't really use the Queen Anne's, to me it feel over the top.
100% weird comment or whatever since im tired and i have to be up in 3 hours so i am saving this for morning but based off of channel updates it seemed super stressful to produce and i am so excited to watch this because you spent a lot of time on it and i know it is going to be great :) seeing it uploaded made my night
Tbh I'm not happy with this one but it's the best I can do. My mic doesn't seem fixable. No amount of additional waiting would've made the video any better. If y'all like it, that's all that matters.
i really enjoyed it dude this was awesome AND it's made me want to play sea of thieves again, somehow (feat i previously thought impossible)! sucks about your mic though (i also have a shitty one that hates me), is it in every program or just what you use to record ? also, what kind of mic is it ? i have a few techier friends and had to fight with a ten year old pc every day for years so i have Some experience with digging up solutions
@@pilot7823 It's a Razer kraken, I use OBS to record. Can't find any other good recording software (X-Split sucks, fraps adds watermarks). I don't know if it's OBS or not, since my friends claim I sound way better ingame than in recordings, yet it changed the same day as an update, so.
As someone who is new to SoT, I use the hunter hull livery and plain black sails. I try to do my quests without being noticed but that doesn't always work out. Haha! I just subbed to your channel. Keep up the great content!
Can't exactly blame pve reapers. It's one of the easiest to level factions in the game, since it takes every kind of loot. Everyone knows that as far as lore goes reapers are *supposed* to be all about fighting and plundering. For some reason rare didn't consider this with their mechanics though. And not everyone cares about rp that much. Should've implemented that you only get the maximum amount of gold and rep if the turned in loot was previously claimed by someone else, like with fallen flags.
I will never not chase down and try to kill any reaper who doesn't go after me. If I'm tier 5 merchants and a tier 5 reapers is an island away and doesn't come at me? I'm coming at them. You owe it to the flame when you sign that contract, raise that flag. You will plunder, loot, maim and destroy to satiate his neverending hunger for violence. If you fail this simple task? You shall burn with the rest. Hail flameheart, and let the seas burn. And on that note, why are you playing the most rp-friendly faction with the thematic cosmetics when you don't wanna actually play the faction as intended. It just seems like a very boring way to play.
@@ReddCrystal because that same rp-friendly faction is BY FAR the most profitable faction if you want to grind gold. Again, not everyone cares about rp or what the original idea behind reaper's was. People just see a faction with massive bonuses. Don't like it? Tell rare to remove the gold bonus for any loot that wasn't acquired through PvP, then you'll have a faction that's actually rp friendly.
Didn't know about the reaper stereotype for the longest time. Me and my friend relentlessly hunted people with that set, and would just surround people in the reaper outfit and point at them while their soul was floating up
Wait the wild rose one was accurate for me and my best friend for a long time. We stayed in one island for a long time because we were being idiots , hanging out, making each other laugh… good times.
Addition: the shrouded ghost set, people who have this never actually killed a shrouded or probably even seen one. These guys only use the sword and sniper. They think there tough just because they spent 5-10 dollars on a Ship set. Advice: don’t use the shrouded set until you actually killed the shrouded and have the title that proves it.
i got the ship set, outfit and title since i killed it while teaching some noobs how to play, those two were so happy and iv been constantly using the set ever since
glad you've mentioned mercenary!!! been using the hull for years! you honestly couldn't be more right about my incompetence with the sword, yet i find myself doing pvp way more then fort bosses.
Order ships have random loot because it's usually easier to find good skulls through the RNG of island hopping. Bounty quests are a pain in the ass. Especially when you're a solo sloop trying to track down a single specific spawnpoint on an island the size of Thieves Haven.
that killer instinct one is shockingly true, I fought a gally with those damn sails for like an hour with me mate and after I finally boarded them and got all 4 they sunk
Being a forsaken is one of the most fun things in the game, cus its the ship set I see the least. I designed my entire outift around forsaken, ashen curse, and scorched forsaken stuff (Ashen winds). my cat is an ashen curse cat, and both my weapons are forsaken. I can agree about the devils roar part, but I also love to hang around the ancient isles and find fishermen. I then make alliances with them and do missions while they fish, and we both get rep and money from one another. I run at full ghost set and Dark adventurer, I either parley all others (if possible, if not then we fight) except parrots which I avoid altogether.
When it comes to the stereo types for alliance flags, I'd say, if they got gold hoarder emissary they fall into two types, The Gits who just need more gold for pirate legend stuff, and The Pussies of the reaper emissaries. The second is because they are just reapers emissaries who are so scared of being seen on the map they hide at ports as gold hoarders and chase ANY ship (even if they got no loot or on a tale tale) to the fartherest reaches of the map and YES even through flameheart islands even if they get heavily damaged, Oh they are also more likely to triple board if they are on a galleon. I write this due to my many experiences with players who do this.
It's too late, Randy-Bo-Bandy's grease runs deep, once he touches something there is no getting it out, wonder if that is why Duke went all rotten, grease was too strong
I was always curious if you were ever gonna talk about your “copywrite infringement” bit again. Man what a time to be alive where blasting “He’s a Pirate” actually makes sense and is very fitting.
4:47 Alright let me add something to that I mostly smile when im on PC and if your on PC expect little 7 year olds who are new to the game and will also beg you not to sink them I experienced most players of the xbox ship set to beg you not to take there loot or be toxic over the mic.
5:57 Good thing I’m not such stereotype, I got his set cause I was a massive fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and got to meet Depp while I was in the hospital for cancer…
Two years since and the running reaper is STILL an issue. Like, why raise the PVP faction's emissary flag if you are going to run from the PVP. My crew tries not to be asshole reapers and sink people without reason, but we will actively seek combat with other reapers, only for them to run 75% of the time.
A noob reaper 3 brigatine hard anchored and vollied our defensless fishing sloop to pieces while we were fishing at mermaids hideaway. After pistol/snipe two tapping the crew comming after us on the island and complaining about us being " f-ing sweat lords." we politly told them that if they knew better they would have left the fishing boat alone and now, theyre going to get sweated on. 10min later we dumbster them with default supplies in our sloop and then went back to fishing while collecting their salty reaper tears about fishingboats. Moral of the story: experienced players would have checked. Noobs, learn the hard way.
I'm... surprised. My mates got me into sea of thieves 2 weeks ago and we've been playing on and off together. The one amongst us who's played the most started us off with a tall tale. He uses the wild rose set. I got it all myself since I thought it was pretty good good looking. Difference is I rock the Spanish Inquisition look and do whatever I fancy lol
The reaper one is totally true. My friend and I were on an unpainted sloop once, a reaper galleon flying emissary but also alliance went past us, ran into a rock and sunk.
@@Bacxaber there was one time I confused the fuck out of a buddy by loading a fire work into his cannon right after he fired (we were fighting skellies on an island so no harm no foul and such) he had no clue what was going on while was just laughing my ass off
Lol as a console player, my gripe about PC players is they are more toxic then most players usually. I'd be mad too if I couldn't get parts to upgrade my setup when needed. Both sides suck though, so... What ever, just enjoy the seas lol.
i remember getting chased by a merchant galleon as a 2 man brig (third guy had to go) for like 40 minutes straight, they were running the full merchant set, emissary and all and were ruthlessly persuing us until they got distracted when we sailed them into a world event lol, i guess we can't interfere with their trade routes if they kill us xd
The Merchant Ambassador is my go-to set (especially now that it's complete) or mixed in with the Merchant sails/hull/wheel/capstan and sea dog cannons (easy aiming with those). I never shoot first. I literally never attack first. But, if you attack my ship, the night is over at that point. We'll have a running naval battle on the seas until one or both finally have to call it a night hours later. I will run you by forts if I'm outnumbered and outmatched. I will firebomb your ship a hundred times over. I'll keg as many times as needed, and once the opportune moment arises I'll double back to chainshot and circle you until sunk (normally once you're on fire and at least one or two crew members are on the ferry). The exception to my never attack first rule is Reapers. They get sunk any chance I get.
Hey... 2 years late... but HEY... my Order ship NEVER has anything except skulls on it... apart from the random chest I find here and there... SOMETIMES a Siren Song chest or two. I also hate the reapers mark... I just wish for a glowy OoS flag... I like the Glow in the Dark Aesthetic and I use that to draw in careless reapers... cause it's funny to see a Brig of 3 men come in and then all cry when a solo Order sloop takes them out.
"If it is, it's a veteran badass who's powerful enough to sink god" Oh, so that's why I get attacked by every player that sees me Joking, but this is a stereotypes video, they aren't meant to be taken seriously
I just recently picked up this game, and I’ve been looking up tons of stuff about it to get good. One of the first things I did when I got the money was get the Hunter stuff, since I think it looks really cool and fits my irl vibe. I also mostly solo sloop. … …I think I am about to become a monster…
I joined a captained gal in a pub and they had the wild rose set. Stereotype matched near perfect. I only kept lookout cuz the rest of the crew was already in the middle of the Heart of Fire tale. Also ouch on the Reaper one, I always try to see if they have treasure first cuz im not an asshole but i wouldn't exactly call that loser behavior. I mostly only do reaper for real whenever I'm grinding money tho. Other than that I normally do a Forsaken ashes set cuz I like the industrial look.
I play Xbox cause I can’t do shit with keyboard and mouse. As a result, the only complaint I usually have is being attacked pretty much every time I try to do anything for factions (haven’t played in awhile so I don’t recall the names of the groups). Actually completing voyages just isn’t possible because someone always comes along and ruins it. Someone has to do the work to get loot, so thieves can actually be thieves. Leave me be at least for like an hour, and chances are I’ll have *something* for you to take that isn’t just supplies or I’ll already be done. Hit me up any time before that and you’re unlikely to find loot.
Awesome video! Just wanted to say even thought you funny post often, you are very active in the sea of thieves community, I see you on Reddit all the time, and am always happy to hear what you have to say
I’m an Xbox player who doesn’t give a f%#$ about what device you play on I still attempt and succeed in arena many times and don’t mind getting sunk if I had a good fight
Kids complaining about being beaten and at a disadvantage Bro there’s a option to do prefer with Xbox only as a Xbox player fighting against pc players is hella fun and a lot of them are super chill a good sports
I use the Xbox set, yes, it’s true, I am in fact a dirty console peasant. But to be fair i just got the game and have no clue wtf I’m doing. It’s pretty fun so far
As a console player i dont get why people say the controller puts them at a disadvantage. Sure im trash at pvp aswell, but thats because i normally play solo so of course id lose fights often
I was once chased by some new players on Xbox in a brig they had the Xbox skin and we’re trying to hunt me down I sailed into the storm and they got krakened.🤣 I am an Xbox player myself with controller and all but I am definitely better than most Xbox players.
@@Bacxaber I just started playing and bought some sets cuz they look nice, I mean I understand I didn’t need to do much to get the sets but the whole point is to make your ship look nice wether you had to work hard for it or not
Arena stereotype: arena tryhards. Me, who uses Arena set: Likes the colours and only has the set because I spend Doubloons on Arena rank ups because I know better than to actually play Arena.
