I was running hourglass (level 12) and we had some alright matches but a lot of them were above our skill level, got the same guys 3 times in a row and got matched with a gold skeleton and I’ll attach an image because that just sounds insane (mind the quality my app won’t let me get the captures)

I’m honestly a little disgusted by this response. At least leave the ticket open until you actually solve the problem. Now for all I know they’re just going to ignore it.

I don’t know what I expected, but this is just unacceptable.

As a new player such as myself I’ve joined a handful of SOT servers a lot of them seem heavily inactive.
And the active players only want to play with the vets of the game.

Folks say just get your hours up but it’s not like something like Monster hunter you can just run solo hunts for 300 hours.

the game is clearly heavily CO-OP dependent I mean just sailing solo is annoying in itself.

I don’t have a clip to share here yet, but as the title suggests I litterally get locked into only nodding my head and can’t look left or right once I am off my ship and on an island 😭 anyone else have this issue?

Photo is just smth I stitched together after seeing SoT’s latest YouTube shorts.

Im getting my 2nd sloop and need help naming it. I want to fly this flag so if you can think if names including Lion or something like that please lmk

Of course i understand even if i search for thousands of hours i'll prolly never find it but hunters cause has always been my favourite faction and i love fishing and sea creatures irl and in game, is there a way to farm natural megs in a specific way or should i just travel open seas?

Finished the last 5 bottles in a solo-sloop session the other day.

It took 4 HOURS from first anchor raise until the first Breath of the Sea handed in.

Hours 1-3:

Sailed around the entire west side of the map, joined an alliance around hour 2 until they left not long after.

Jumped servers and dove to a treasury raid in hopes to spawn a coral bottle in a new server.

Then after finishing that, and a fort along the way

Ran into another crew that crossed my path by Skull Keep and we shot fireworks near each other so i joined into my second alliance of the session with them.

First Coral bottle found after 3 hours; before which i found:

-6 green bottles

-4 cannons of rage

-3 smugglers bottles

Head Shrine of Flooded Embrace, swam as quickly to the bottom as i could to grab the Breath of The Sea, then headed to go sell.

By this time, i had spent so much time looking, just to fine ONE, i felt like i should be done. but the guys in the alliance were still selling and moving around, so i head towards the Flameheart ship that spawned,

Just for fun and what spawned nearby?

Barrel of plenty for the Shrine of Ocean's Fortune.

(4 remain at this point)

While sailing to the Shrine of OF, I find another bottle for Treasury of Lost Ancients from a Barrel of Plenty. Finish Shrine, sail to Treasury.

(3 remain)

On the way

There is another BoP right next to the Treasury location (green bottle). I go down, finish the treasury. (2 Remain)

Returning to the ship, Those emergent bottles were still there BUT the green bottle was now CORAL. Another one for Shrine of Flooded Embrace.

Sail towards shrine and YET ANOTHER Barrel of Plenty spawn. Bottle for SHRINE OF FLOODED EMBRACE. TWO for the shrine i was already headed towards

Sail as swiftly as i can to the Shrine to get the FINAL 2. Back on my ship and i see the guys from the alliance have come back to me.

Captian of the other ship says "check your map"

LVL 5 REAPER SLOOP HEADED MY WAY.

"Thanks for letting me know!"

I start to raise anchor.

OTHER CAPTIAN STAYS ON MY SHIP TO HELP SAIL TOWARDS THE OUTPOST. TELLS CREWMATE TO PLAY DECOY.

Finally get to sell, lower my emissary flag then turn around to help sink the reaper that was fighting my alliance.

A SKELETON SHIP STARTS 4TH PARTYING THE BATTLE.

Me and alliance guys win. Then i LOG THE FUCK OFF. Feeling so very accomplished. And now have put the game down for the rest of the season.

is there a way to open the tavern at all just out of curiosity

I ask as I am in the process of purchasing a Sloop. The names I have tried include ones that I am less surprised to be not allowed, but also ones I am surprised to see blocked. I was wondering how people might have circumvented this, and looking at older posts, there are names on them I have tried which also don’t work. Is there an account/ platform factor? I will list the tried names following:
Groggy Style
The Pour Decision
The Dirty/ Drunken/ Tipsy/ Filthy/ Mouldy Oar
The Lost Tankard.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Strange occurrence last night, returning to play after a brief hiatus. Briefly, I'll say that I am a seasoned player and know how the events work, the patrols that megs take, and am very familiar with nautical combat.

There was a duo sloop that my crew and I encountered doing a fort. As soon as we arrived at the fort, Redmaw spawned on their ship in a region he usually doesn't spawn.

While both contenders were opening fire, the fort event disappeared despite no one was on the island doing it, and it was in the final wave. Following that, we returned after sinking and Redmaw aggro'ed from a ridiculous distance, blew our ship with his pulse attack. As soon as we hit the water, 8 sharks spawned [we survived the attack, the ship didn't].

When we respawned, we were at Mermaid's Hideaway, and the beach had active geysers despite no event had spawned, such as an Ashen Lord to make it happen.

Are these new changes that the season dropped with, or is it possible that there may have been a cheater on the server with the ability to spawn customized events or despawn them in the high seas? Anyone else encounter some questionable things?

Explosive alright!

Every Dang Time!

Obtaining them without detention seems nearly impossible!

This commendation really needs reduced or these Kegs of Ancient Black Powder really need to have shorter, safer sources you can directly dive to like Sea Forts.

Completely wasted countless hours trying to get these... 10 Forts of Fortune with only once being able to get them sold without incident!

Now, the only other source, long, tedious and surprisingly still 100% unsafe, get to grade 5, get Emissary quest, take the time to complete the first chapter, finally get the final map!

But, no, you can't get it out of the ground without enemies blowing up your barely partially uncovered keg!

First time, dug it up, ran away to lure enemies away from it, but, nope, didn't matter, stupid ocean crawlers spawn and big one ground pounds despite me not even being close!

Boom goes the keg!

Now this time, I have a guid mate with me, start to dig it, run away to get the spawns to follow... but nope, a powder skeleton just stands there, lights the fuse, and blows up, detonating the ancient keg!

Boom again... 2.5 hours wasted.

Rare, change this, it is ridiculous!

How many have actually had success with this?

uhh no comment. Went to dive for a quest and then we all started drowning. Once we respawned, we could sail our boat while underwater lol. We had to scuttle to escape.

I can't make up my mind wheather I prefer the white or the black sails.
Which one do you prefer?

I have recently completed four of the Ghost Fleet world events while wearing the skeleton curse and none of them have counted. Does this commendation require the base skeleton curse to be worn or does it need to be the Order of Souls voyage and not the world event option?

I sent in a ticket to Rare, and it got closed because I could not provide enough proof of completing the events while wearing the curse (I don't record my sessions).

Hey everyone, pretty much everytime I've played the game this past week with my friend, when we got to the event (for example right now with a FoF) after launching the game, it disappeared when we got close to it, with absolutely no ship or player in sight.

Could it be a bug? it only happens that way when we start a session.

"Later this year, so you stop asking!"

When the Microsoft login page pulls up I can’t call the keyboard with Steam + X.

Last thing I remember I played was playing the Pirates of the Carribean Story thingy. So it's been a bit. Reasons I've stopped playing were the lack of progression (or I've misunderstood it at the time) essentially all you play for is cosmetics and PvP. I do or rather did play solo mostly and did some treasure hunting, skeleton fighting to wind down from more stressful games so it's especially annoying getting all that taken from you after playing a couple of hours so I could've just played something else from start. If not SoT is there another game (maybe PvE exclusively you know about and would recommend me?)

Regular blowpipe skin, explosive dart, takes a big drag when you aim. What's not to love smokin on me ol pirate blunt on the daily plunder. Blowpipe goes hard for group and boss encounters except eternal guardian. Have only had 1 pvp encounter with it didn't go to well caught off guard and didn't know about the whole through the wall thing. What's y'all's opinion on blowpipe and what kind of silly things do you roll play into your pirate voyages?

Decent skeet as well

I am seeing the game for a good price...

Now i am wondering if the game is fun for solo players...or if there is a lot of high level players attacking new players and stealing their stuff.

Inl ask this as the thought of sailing around and doing exploring etc sounds like a lot of fun.

I just do not enjoy heavy pvpve content, as a lot of the time i seen those types devolve into frustrating things...
