The 10 Types of Hourglass Crews In Sea of Thieves 

Join the DISCORD: discord.gg/V6cqPz2SHy

I actually have a bit of respect for loss farmers as they definitely have more patience than most to just sit there with the slower grind. If you think about it with how slow it is just to get to level 100 by farming losses the amount of patience one must have is insane

Loss Farmer: Daniel Dice Rollers: The Cooler daniel.

Board Spammers, ah yes The Boardlords. I was getting rolled by a ghost curse man that was just absolutely stomping me like I were a bug on the sidewalk. Luckily for me though, he lacked object permanence when it comes to his boat and the entire time he mercilessly stomped me his boat slowly filled with water from the single hole I put in it. He felt very silly afterwards and I heard him audibly facepalm when he realized

I’ve become a loss farmer not because I’m bad at pvp, but because ironically enough, it’s faster to lose and gain rep than win. I only encounter people who drag the fight out for far too long since they constantly keep running

I do either Dice Duels or Loss Farming. For a while I came across an “armada” of Hunters Call fanboys. All with Merrick look alike’s and the coat. They did a “first to a trophy fish, no recasting” challenge. Won a couple, lost many more. They gifted me pineapples.

For solo sloop grinders who don’t want to loss farm or initiate die rolls: You’d be shocked how many people you can beat who are better than you by abusing the “spam board” mentality. I swear a third of my solo wins come from me getting spawn camped (or sometimes me intentionally not killing them on my boat) while they slowly sink or sail out of bounds. I’m kind of a scared naveleer too honestly when I’m alone, maybe it makes them impatient and I end up winning…although it makes a lot of fights go really long. Long story short, if you are solo, REPAIR YOUR BOAT before you board (unless your opponent is literally seconds from sinking, your boat is close to repaired and losing the 1v1 won’t immediately cause you to lose the fight)

Some additional details: 1) Noobs will rage at you for firing at their boat even if you try to explain to them what the hourglass means. While most Newbs will either blankly stare at you or laugh about how unprepared they were. 2) Scared Navalers have one of two reactions if you use chainshots, anchorballs and/or riggingballs. They either can and will rage at you for using game mechanics they didn't account for, or they'll laugh their asses off because you keep knocking their mast down as soon as they lift it up. 3) If a Hacker has a microphone, don't offer immediately after dying. Hearing what they say and how they say it can give you a firsthand peek at what sadness and desperation for attention sounds like. They are the middle children of SoT, but their behaviour proves they never aged past 9. 4) TDMers have a massive overlap with Boardlords. 5) Spam Boarders, aka Boardlords, seem to have a large overlap with Arena refugees. Both because of their blue cosmetics, and the fact that as soon as you blunderbomb them off your ladder, you'll find out why a gamemode that only had 5% of the playerbase somehow was the source of 80% of toxicity reports. And if they see you with a sword equipped, they will verbally violate the Geneva Convention. If you made a venn diagram of Arena Refugees, Boardlords, and TDMers; shouting every gamer word in the book at the sight of a sword would be the circle in the middle.

I'm personally a loss farmer, at first because I suck at PvP but I've embraced it because I'm tired of fighting for an hour straight only to lose. I play games to have fun, not to sweat, and I wanna look good while I do PvE stuff because I play games to enjoy the experience and the friends you make along the way. I may get a lot of flak from this but I don't care. I personally don't enjoy Hourglass but I really want the Ghost curse, and I don't want to spend that time grinding constantly being in hour long battles only to lose, it affects my mental state greatly and I personally don't have the time for Hourglass. I have a job and bills to pay, and I just want to get the dang Ghost curse, and if I have to farm losses to do it, so be it.

Im the supply hoarder/gifter i always collect a ton of supplies but because it hurts me to sink them when i quit playing i normally give them to other crews or at least load as much as i can into storage crates and leave them at an outpost.

I'm a Regular turned Dice-Roller out of necessity. Most regular PvP matches last way too long and the grind for those curses is just ridiculous. I'll be the first to admit, I'm pretty trash at PvP but I still enjoy a good fight regardless. I just started dice-rolling mostly to save time. I honestly didn't realize I was cutting anyone else a break besides myself lol

“I love you because you probably don’t hear it enough” what a great quote! I’ll have to use that sometime 😉

3:58 i met one of these guys he was at reaper's outpost selling, and he said something like "yo you can just take my supplies, im getting off" they are chill dudes

Hey I’m only a loss farmer when there’s double xp so I can do some uni work in the background

If you're one of those people who goes into hourglass battle and then runs around trying to avoid your enemy the whole time, why? If after 3 hours you manage to beat him, you still wasted 3 hours on one battle. You could have lost four times. It got the same amount of rep and still had leftover time to do more battles before your 3 hours were up. If you go into an hour last battle just fight you lose you go again. It's not that bad and if you keep fighting at some point you may find you actually start winning

Went from 0 to ~80 something solo as a regular. Got tired of the grind and went from there to 100 as a roller. I have no shame.

I did not expect such quality with so few views, nice video man

In getting to Guardians 20 solo, I can say I try to be the first, but I come across as the scared sailor soley because I'm super bad at managing my wheel and predicting where my enemy will be so we both end up spinning around like stripped gears never making true contact.

Tip against boarders, board the boardlord ship, throw fire balls, return to ship, bucked, aact like your trying but don’t actually kill him (also anchor if needed), profit

Some changes they could make to hourglass to make it better in my opinion. Xp awards for activities in the battle (with caps of course) these would be divided between offensive and defensive actions. Examples of offensive actions would be, Hitting cannon shots. Disabling mast. Breaking enemy wheel. Getting kills. These actions would award the most xp as they require the most skill to do. Defensive actions would be things regarding your own ship such as repairing. And killing enemies on your own ship. These actions would award less xp as they take less skill to do. And then you would have passive xp gained for how long the battle lasted. Up to a max of 15 minutes. The xp gained from winning and losing would stay the same as the bonuses from the aforementioned activities would satisfy both sides. The losing side gets compensated for thier effort and the winning side gets even more xp than before. Next to solve the issue of people running away you can have the battle zone shrink over time to force both sides into conflict. Right now the arena size is to generous making it easy to stall and run. Having the zone shrink over time would fix this. And it would also make each battle more consistent as you would know that no matter what each fight will only be 15 minutes for example as that's how long it would take for the battle zone to shrink all the way and begin to red sea damage both ships until one sinks.

As a Supply Gifter, I always appreciate when the gift recipient is open to chat about how the Hourglassing is going for a few minutes before my time has come.

You forgot about the people who ask for invites to the opposing crews ships so both people get rep

Reminder that just choosing to reset when possible if you’re at a significant disadvantage but can get away isn’t being scared. You’re not obligated to decide the outcome of a battle in one spiral or parallel. What is _actually_ annoying is when someone runs out of supplies and _then_ they avoid your ship like the plague for an hour.

honestly I just gotta respect loss farmers. they are usually super chill and the grind itslef is probably twice as long as it getting the gold curse is so the amount of patience is INSANE

I have legit never ran into a dice roller lmao

Honestly I dont understand why people shit on the loss farmers. They are just wanting cool cosmetics and are wanting to play the game how they want (almost as if games were meant to be fun) plus you get free supplies and a win, how is that bad?

Scared navallers I think has a point in doing such things, most of the time if the dude against you is better than you at cannons they can pretty much disable you from shooting those cannons, I know that, I've been in that situation many times, its either you stop them from reaching that cannon or they do that to you until one of you sunks, its like duels in wild west movies, whoever shoots first wins the day.

I'll be honestly, the arena retirement folks are a mixed bag like everyone else. They're either gods, or they just got the stuff last minute before the arena closed and think its looks impressive.

I ran into a spam boarder once. I crossed their bow, put a couple of grade 3 holes in their bow then missed my board when they rammed the ass of my sloop. One jumped on my ship and the other stupidly jumped in the water with me. By the time I got back to my ship all I had to do was clear one boarder because their ship sunk and I still had plenty of time to repair.

Cant help but feel like Dice Rollers are just Loss Farmers with extra Steps

I am the TDMer but i do give the win after, unless they pipe up. But Us TDMers and the Ex arena players are the same thing, if we cant get tdm canr get on their boat and camp them out cuz they are a blunder sword bot, just navel them sink them and say Should have TDMed

I've once met a player that was doing the dice method but instead of rolling you would get a sot themed trivia question

As a Dice Roller I can firmly say it’s way better than loss farming got to 83 in less than a week’s time

You forgot about solo galley or brig players that hop on at 3 am and farm 30+ win streaks with their other 3 friends while the server is dead

Loss farmers aren’t trying to get a title to show off without doing the work, we just wanna see the godamn hideouts rare put behind a skill wall

I flip a coin with the emporium emote to see who scuttles they call it

My friend and I were doing hourglass, our opponent ran away as soon as 1 hole was formed in their boat, it took 2 hours to sink them.

Too accurate lol. Awesome video tho! I swear I always run into the spam boarders when I'm trying to run solo PVP and have no backup.

I'm not a hourglass player but when I need to log off and have a ton of supplies, you bet I'm gonna vote hourglass down and give all my supplies to the opposing ship.

it took me 2 months of pvp so many losses and not enough wins cuz im again sweats everytime idk why but i finally have it... now i gotta get the legend curse..

I got respect for loss farmers, dudes are always chill and they have to farm 1,600 losses When losing is winning They can’t lose

Had a guy join our crew first thing he was doing was shit talking his last crew for”being bad” he demanded to be helm and had both the skeleton and ghost curse yet his naval was absolute trash.Never left wheel couldnt keep angle to save his life constantly asking us weather he was facing the rite direction as if it was impossible for him to just check himself.And the whole time was pretty much just trying to show off his cosmetics. We where doing a fof and a brig showed up we chases them a little i anchored them TWICE and neither time did he captialize on it and actually sink them loss farming is the only possible explanation i have for this guy would not shut up constantly yelling to lower and raise sails always super late as to when we actually shouldve been doing that and you could just tell if we sunk hed have rage quit immediately and blaimed the loss on the rest of his crew after all hes the helm his only job is sitting on wheel his crew is the ones who should be doing everything else.

The battle-scarred tennis shoe blesses us with a new video once more, joyous day

My buddy and I used to do a lot of arena before it was gone but he did it way more than I and he has the title and he's had people see the title and say something about it and it's great lmao

3:36 and what's wrong with that you say it like it's a bad thing you get more and more supplies if you dont lose in hourglass

do good in school kids

i swear that the regular one describes me perfectly

"Boardlords" aren't there to win the match. They're literally only there to spawn camp. If they're killing you repeatedly and not steering you out of the circle to win then they're legit just there to spawn camp new guys OR to get better at deck fighting, not win the match.

The people that reset over and over until they get the upper hand on the 10th reset and then talk shit like they're any good because they drained your supplies are the most annoying people in hourglass

I love to loss farm a couple times at the end of my play session. I like how much it pisses the players off. What pisses people off even more is when you loss farm with zero supplies.

I have an issue with dice rollers who come after me in DMs because I sunk them instead of rolling I’m usually going for streaks. Sorry, I’m not leaving it to a 50/50 when I nearly have a 100% chance of winning. It’s not my fault you wanted to roll in a PvP mode

If you think about it Dice rolling is loss farming with extra steps

I usually play the long game draining my opponents of all they got while striking at every opening not to kill but to drain

You forgot to mention the hackers are almost exclusively sloop players. 50% of the sloop matches ive gotten have been hackers vs galleons where none have been hackers. 50% of my brig ones were hackers too(ive only done 2)

I just went up against a scared navaler and it took me two hour to finally get him to run out of supplies and sink while trying to board me, I had to stay up to about 12:00 am just to finally get him, they have to be the second most annoying people on the seas right behind the hackers

I haven't done PVP yet because I'm anxious and tend to freeze up during stressful moments. Still, I'd like to give HG a shot, just to see how it is.

Yooo I remember doing dice rolls the day hourglass launched lmao good times

Huh, I thought people would’ve already forgotten about the arena players by now. I guess it’s hard to forget the thorn in your side whenever you try to do stuff.

dude you deserve more subs your content is top tier

had a funny fight recently, i saw water at there map table.... he boarded and 1 blundered me as he lost :)

MAN, YOU DROPPED THE BEST ROAST ON HACKERS

other than still a n00b, im more of a supply gifter these days, once im done for the day, gather up all the supplies off the ship, go to an outpost and leave the supplies on the dock for the next player

Maybe if hourglass was more fun, had more modes, more rewards, more incentives to play, it wouldn't be a dying mode

I would be a supply hoarder/gifter among other things. The gifting is to keep the karmic balance😅

Hey, what is the black and white filter?? I was playing one time and this other guys ship had a black and white effect with shroud music whenever i got on or near it, I'm not new but I've never seen that before.

0:41, people go into these fights without pre-loaded cannons?

Was absolute garbage when I started my grind for the skelly curse at the start of season 8, end of season 8 mostly thanks to community day and the double rep week, I got my curse. I consider myself a regular when it comes to pvp, but I’m slowly grinding towards 1000 for dem golden bones. Atm sitting at 241, honestly I’m in no rush to get to 1000, just a long term goal I have so as to finish my time in hg and begin pulling shinigans on the seas themself.

i have only done hourglass on community day. thats the only time its really worth it for this casual player. it was filled with toxicity all day. i only had one good encounter. i decided to bring another person with me for a couple matches. once i was boarded and they heard a female voice greet them the situation changed from spawn killing to how about we roll for the win. the second match we both ran out of supplies and rolled for the win.

I had no idea there were other supply gifters.

Scared Navalers can be confused for trolls don’t confuse us we shoot fireworks in your face

1:37 sounds like me. I don't keep broadsides for long cause I learned it's risky Take enough damage them get body shot you lose. I take a few hits and if they are able to land every shot it's time to bail. I repair but instead of running I turn around. I'm a cannon fighter, I never board so fights get dragged out I'm so bad at pvp lol. I don't bother with boarding cause when I do I miss and when I manage to get on I die instantly cause combat sucks

I only get Arena refugees in HG. Its why i had to take a break for a bit lol

50 plus ranks, due to loss farming. Cant to prime time matches, 5 out 8 matches you get a hacker.

I hate thst people complain about loss farmers, you get a free win out of it, worry about your own self lol

im exactly the tdm guy like spot on spot and im proud of it

i always gift the rest of my supplies to people after i battle i thoughtt i was the only one

All the dice rollers i encountered were liars looking to spawn camp me out of the ring

What happened to danger fishing crews?

Shit im lsd and dont got goest curse...

I got another one, on xbox I see dozens of looking for group posts wanting to glitch for the curse

I’ve actually never ran into a hacker in sea of thieves

I’m a dice roller but if you don’t roll my dice I’m a cross between normal and ex arena player

*raises hand* im a TDM'er Though in my defence i always do first to 5 kills. The loser sinks. I hate dragging out fights as you know, boy needs that sweet raindrop of experience hourglass gives you... and also dignity i guess.

as a dice roller i agree

Yup I'm definitely a regular

When you play PvP enough you’ll understand why there are loss farmers

Either you push through the growing pains of becoming a better player or you give up and become a loss farmer. I've noticed many loss farmers are extremely fragile and petulant if you dare shoot at their boat as they sail by. Just the thought of doing PVP sends them into a frenzy. It's hilarious.

im a dice roller and why eh allows me to give wins sometimes sheesh if i get 2 in a row i just give the the opposite faction my lvl 5 flag lol i dont scuttle i just ask em to shoot me so i still get loss exp and i do this in my free time when i dont have a crew on lol

I’ve never won a fight vs players so I just accept my sink

My very first dive battle. Brig v brig. All 3 on the enemy brig were cheaters. Default everything, new accounts, extremely similar names, 1 balled the very second I spawned each time even below deck

Arena Retiree's MY @55. Those are aimhack players. Every single "LSD/TSD" I've sailed with into HG has been an overboasting pile of 'meh' If the other crew tags out every interactable and 1-balls every crewmate; its ESP or other aimbot programs.

The 10 types of Hourglass Crews: 1: Blatantly cheating 2: Bad at cheating 3-10: Just cheaters?

I swear Im not a loss farmer Im just shit at pvp lmao so I do a lot of gambling for wins and I still aint one a single dice roll either! At least I tend to use the double-loss exp thingy

Thanks for calling me MrBeast bro

I've been called a loss farmer but in reality im just really bad at pvp. Like I'm trying my best out there man.

Cut the loss farmers a little slack maybe they've just tried enough and got nowhere and now their spirits are broken lol

You forgot the range quieter that play one mach and never return

I really need a crew to help me with pvp

I feel like there's no shame or guilt in loss-farming, if you're specifically after the Legendary Curse. This is NOT a PVP curse, despite what others will tell you. This was given to literally everyone, if you played at a certain time. And there's been no other way of obtaining it afterwards. And hey, if you're so horny for HG, why are you complaining about having your streak go higher for free once or twice? You're welcome, pal.

Hey... I'm a Mr. Beast of the seas :D
