  • The Struggles of SOLO PvP in Sea of Thieves
    If you were looking for a hard-mode in Sea of Thieves, Solo PvP would definitely be it. Fighting 4v1 is a common occurrence though going through the pain of fighting as a Sloop vs Galleon is also the fastest way to get better at PvP.
    So I hope you enjoy these highlights and funny moments as I stumble my way into the hardest way to play Sea of Thieves.

      That sucks. You should try going back and learn a few tricks with your ship and communication to keep forced pvp to became a rare occasion.
      And even when you can't avoid combat, you can become really hard to sink and catch as well even with slow reaction times and poor eye sight. Just takes some naval skills :)

    The difficulty I've always had with solo slooping is shortly after combat begins I have to be off the cannons to either course correct or repair damage during which time I am doing NO damage to the enemy and they are continuing to fire on me. I have practiced against a skeleton galleon a few times but at best...I manage to run away without sinking.

    Saddest Galleon - fight I've ever seen. Usually -if you fight a Gally with a solo - sloop - you are gonezo the moment you enter their broadside. If they are a well oiled machinery at least 3 cannons will make swiss cheese out of your vessel (3x10 cannon balls = 30 shots fired at your ship in rapid succession...) while the fourth boards you. Usually an act of 1 minute max.

    as some one who is struggling as a solo sloop adventurer, (who just saved up to buy his own sloop) its reached a point where i just cant bring myself to respawn anymore,(having a crew of 3 spawn camping most of your respawn spots while they shame me for not having friends, general toxic slurs for being a noob captain as my ship slowly burns down and sinks, is just not worth) 9/10 crews that sunk me are always 3-4 players (my co op friends can only play 1-2 days a week so i have to go solo to make gold)
    my worst day was yesterday where i got sunk 10 times within 4 hours (7 of which where pvp, (also losing the kracken, skeleton sloop and galleon emergent event) scuttling and server hopping every combat encounter.
    its reached a point where idk what to do anymore i cant even go beach combing for scraps with out some one some how finding me it seems.
    i did not know becoming a real ship captain makes you so much more of a target.

    I wish they would make refugee areas to at least have somewhere people good go if they didn't want a fight and to also save some loot if not all because grinding and losing everything doesn't always make for fun gameplay. Battle zones though seem like a good idea though, but hopefully won't become novel as some people just like ruining other people's day. xD
    I haven't played SOT since the new adventure came out, also why I like the Athena missions because of the fish to my friends' dismay, those fish don't sell em self's is all I am saying.

    And then another 100 levels to get the other curse And hide out.

I am not entitled to get access to everything immediately. And seeing crews rock those cosmetics is gonna show me they put in the time and they're probably pretty good at PvP.

      I dont want it to be easy or fast to unlock.
      But I do think that 98% of players will never even be able to go to the new hideous or even see most of what season 8 has in it.
      Cause most players will neven reach rank 100.
      I bet most won't even reach rank 30 in eather faction.
      Meaning season 8 only has an hour glass and a way to find pvp faster wich is good but.
      That means that all the other stuff they added in this season is pointless.
      The hideous the music the caricters you could meet all the cool new things to see.
      Pointless because players will never get to see any of it being locked behind 100 levels! Twice!
      That's my issue with this season.
      I am grinding the skeleton curse.
      And only doing pvp for reapers to unlock it faster.
      After 30+ fights I'm only rank 11.
      And I will leave another message once I unlock the skeleton curse.
      Ps love your videos man great work!
      Also thanks for responding to me even if im just being salty about the grind lol😆👍

      @@CliffTheStoryGuy just got killed in pvp the guy kept killed me and let my ship sail out of bounds.
      That gets you no points at all towards the curses.
      Meaning I spent 30+ min fighting to just get boarded and then spawn camped.
      Wasting a lot of time and effort to get literally nothing at all not even the very small amount of points I would have gotten if my ship just sunk.
      This has happend multiple times to me already and it's only day 2.😮‍💨😵‍💫
