- Sea of Thieves is a great game, fun in almost every way.
But I asked myself the question of how we got from the rocky launch of this game to where we are today and decided to make a video around it. With a little Absolute Pixel dust sprinkled across the video obviously :)

Thank God they fixed this with the pets update
False, I find it highly unlikely that you are deceased as a result of his joke as you would be unable to write a comment about it and if it is not you but a relative who is quoting you after your untimely demise i doubt they would do it with such short notice of your death as they would likely be grieving for at least a month before writing an explination if your death.
I have a friend who practiced on the harpoon for 2 hours and now he barely misses. He has saved me from sharks and players many of times.
2 man brigs are usually waiting for their third crew member to arrive.... You know that one guy that says he'll be there, but is always late for some reason? xD
@Evil Dwight Brigs are more consistently at top speed, sure, but they aint the fastest.
And it doesn't matter if you're brig, galleon, or even sloop, against the wind, you will never catch up to an enemy sloop. :P
I solo brig for like an hour waiting for my friends, almost every single day. Lol
@Evil Dwight You... COMPLETELY missed the point.

@@MyouKyuubi brigs have the fastest top speed, catching a sloop going against the wind is easy, you just have be smart and trap them

Such as the AWP, far more powerful than snipers original sniper now isn't it, and someone who's decent with a bow is still more powerful. Let's not forget about Spy and that damn Sharp Dresser which was basically an insta kill no matter which direction you faced.
TF2 was P2W for sure.

That island card idea is great.
This video has made me want to play some Sea Of Thieves again.
i think that they know about this and they are working on making it a toggle option
InverseMist really? what’s the source, i’d like to read into this
Could just remove the black barrier at the bottom and keep the top one
Back in the beta people weren't used to check the map to see where they are, so it was a nice touch for the game to show you on which island you are. Now it's used mainly by newbies.
niki123489 I mean, ya kinda wanna know we’re to go when on a gold hoarder voyage or something
I think sea of thieves is respectable for having microtransactions due to a one time purchase and also everything is only cosmetic so no harm done and no pay to win.
Yeah, another game I loved, Absolver, had further development canceled because the devs only made money from the initial purchases. They started losing money, but didn't add paid DLC or anything like that. Hell... I'da payed for it too...
@@TotallyRealistic what about a free dlc
@@owyemen9367 They did a free content update or two.
Game changing things in single player game modes are fine, cosmetic stuff in single or multiplayer game modes is fine, the only microtransactions that aren't fine are game changing multiplayer ones
SoT is actually doing a good job of keeping monthly updates
These monthly updates have literally just been tiny adjustments or rehashed content from previous updates
This current update is literally just last year’s gilded’s rehashed and they changed the reapers hideout A LITTLE BIT
Last update was even worse “here take these gifts that you need to give to other people to get gift giver commendation” uhmmm how about no...?
connplayer22 I agree, with the recent update my patience is growing thin and I feel like they’re really testing how much re-skinning and rehashing they can get away with :/
@@kell2883 I think we have been getting some good additions for the last few months
Silver Shy eh, I always feel like they can do better. Rare has an extensive team of concept artists, so, it baffles as to why the ashen masters look the same. They’re capable of giving them new skins, but refused to. I’m also not happy with the storytelling, and I’ve invested so much money into the books and comics. Overall, I think Rare needs to climb out of their ego and really put some polish on the canvas
@@kell2883 well I appreciate your opinion, but I believe that the story is fine as it is, the newest update being quite nice and in all honesty, fun. I know some people play it for story, but as long as it's fun, I count it as a good update. It changes how people play the game in a new and interesting way and makes it pretty fun. Nothing feels better than getting 2 Grade 5 reapers to fight over your order of souls flag
You know, it's not sea of friends or sea of thieves.
It's actually sea of whatever you wanna do.
Steal stuff?
Go right ahead.
Fish all day?
You do you.
Commendation hunting?
Why not?
Do tall tales?
Sure!
A little bit of everything?
Sounds good.
That's the SoT experience.
Play it the way you wanna play it.
Just don't expect other players to accommodate your play style.
Very true Sgt palooggoo!
Thanks @@combatraptor4592.
@@StevenT-sb2qt That's just being a troll. It's one thing to target players because they have loot that you want, but annoying people just for the sake of being annoying makes you no less pathetic than the person who gets upset about it.
@@StevenT-sb2qt That's not the point and still doesn't change the fact that you're pathetic.
@@StevenT-sb2qt And I'm saying wasting your time on players like that doesn't make you any better. Sure, you play how you want, but that doesn't mean people can't judge you for it. You can be toxic in this game, and that is toxicity on both ends, the person crying, and the person needlessly being annoying just for the sake of it.
2 player Brig reasons:
Intimidating other slops
Waiting for freind to join
Faster
Sloops are not intimidated by Briggs. The fact that there are so many two-man brigs is the exact reason why it's non-intimidating
The Brig is technically faster but takes longer to turn and is not as nibble and agile as the sloop because you don't have a third person helping to turn sails etc. You're especially not faster when you get anchored and can only use two people to raise
At the end of the day it's tactically disadvantageous to dou brig
My wife and I duo Brig only when we are just running voyages. Wish you could run more people on a sloop though
also brigs are EASILY managed by 2 people.
@@franzbauer1367 Agreed.
@@Odande I disagree. It's easy to not get anchored if you know what to look for.
Brigs are almost as fast as galleys so you catch sloops fast. Plus the harpoon allows you to hook up to sloops making their maneuverability useless.
I prefer a brig over a sloop but lately we have been to lazy because the brig does add more work to run.

That suggestion at the end was tops, not even gonna lie I'd want that not only for the island names, but also for the voyages
I am happy to purchase items to support this game, it’s all cosmetic and the game has free content all the time so it helps future development I think
I’m looking at the rate of the new monthly updates and it looks like your going to be doing a two player brig
I like how this game went from "Alliance?" to "SHOOT ON SIGHT!" its like Rust.
Video seems to be coming from someone who likes PvP more than pretty much anything else in the game. Just sayin'
Everyone is bias, personally I love fighting AI, but I do love having a fight against another crew every now and then, some people just want to prove something
Its called sea of thieves not sea of be friendly and hold hands. I'll see you on the high seas cowards.
Calen Hoover yea but some people are plainly just boring
@@tdh2044 Sounds like youre the one dying every time if you consider the thrilling emergent combat in SOT 'boring'
Calen Hoover no I basically win every time with my m8s, and I openly hunt for players but if thats all you do the lowkey is boring

Me: “CAUSE THIS IS PIRACY!”
^ I respect you lol
WOULD YOU STEAL A TV?
@@DWG_ yes
That's it's part of the game is a valid reason but not that its about pirates because pirates didn't kill that much people in reality. Pirates mostly attacked merchants and they just surrendered. Thats it's core of the game that you have to live with but pirates didn't really do that stuff but neither did they sail on seas with only other pirates or fight against skeletons.
The game has been so stale for so long that Pvp is the only thing that is fun.

To be fair though, the game is making no additional Revenue aside from purchasing the game, especially with the game on Gamepass, making it free to play
i mean there are actual free to play games which don't require you to purchase anything, this is not a free to play game.
@@sympunny8636 what f2p games do that? Every f2p game I have seen has some sort of alternative revenue stream.
@@GGITSecurity quite naturally there are normally alternative revenue streams but sometimes either there in the form of adverts or simply cosmetic items that have no effect on gameplay. A famous game like this would be league of legends, doesn't cost anything, constant updates and cosmetic items are the only thing that's more difficult to get without spending money but not impossible, I've played hundreds of hours without spending a pound on the game so it's definetely free to play whereas sea of thieves you have to purchase immediately making it not "free to play" then there are micro transactions within the game itself as well. The game itself isn't bad but calling a game with an upfront price "free to play" is slightly strange.
@@sympunny8636 Who said it was f2p? I replied to the guy that said he knows of F2P games that dont have alternative revenue streams. I said they dont exist and you just gave an example of one that does have an alternative revenue stream.
@@GGITSecurity look at your first comment, you replied to me for some reason.
I'd be willing to buy an item or 2 to support the game for sure. I've gotten a ridiculous amount of time out of sea of thieves.
Prophet I’m the same at this point, I almost want to give more money considering what I’ve gotten from it
I would also support my favorite game! More money->motivation-> MORE AWESOME CONTENT
Bet you think watching the grass grow is exciting too
I agree. This game has gotten so much better, without us players even paying for the improvements we get on the updates. And the things you buy has absolutely no importance, it doesn't give you an edge in any way, it's just a bit of fun.
I don't like micro-transactions, never ever paid for one before, but I don't mind this one as much, and I think I might even just buy a couple of things just to support the continued work that is being done on the game. The amount of fun I've gotten for the money I payed, makes me a very grateful pirate.
Dean McCallister i do that. i get sunk and killed quite often then i get sad and cry about it (off mic of course) 😂😂😂 i just want to sail, do my quests and voyages in peace and be left alone lol
Just found this video 2 years later... Still made me chuckle a few times.
I get mad when I die, but don’t get all salty and mad to the enemy pirates when I sink, I’m just upset of the fact that usually when I sink I lose a big amount of loot that took hours of work. But I can fully understand where he’s coming from. Sea of ‘Thieves’
A logical reasonable person. Shit happens to me in games like this that makes me upset, but I respect the enemy player and personally I would’ve done the same thing. Circumstances were just different.
I dont mind loosing all my loot. I just dont understand what the point of attacking a ship that just spawned in is.
I don't understand attacking a ship that just spawned in and hasn't even got a chance to get ready. However, as soon as a ship starts sailing then it's fair game. PvP in this game is super fun, that's the point of attacking ships with no loot.
@@Kezsora as long as you can admit that you're kinda being a dick by sinking someone who's got less than half the amount of people, isn't looking to fight and has just spent 5 - 10 mins stocking their ship, then yeah fair play aha.. I wouldn't mind a mode for grinders that (at the cost of 75% money and rep) would allow people to spend an hour or two on the seas and actually have something to show for it...
Kezsora But what are you getting out of it....because soon it’s going to be boring doing the same shit over and over
Well once my crew had done that because we were looking to sell our loot and were filled to the brim with it, so we did not want to risk sailing around any longer and since sinking a newly spawned ship is an easy way of ensuring the safety of our loot, we went for it.
My friends and I usually run a fishing galleon that stays nearby seaports. Ppl always try to sink is until we show them we have literally no valuable loot nor an emissary flag. If they do sink us we essentially keep ramming our newly spawned galleon into them over and over again until they sink or leave the server, then we go back to fishin'
They didn't say the monthly updates will be only bilge rat advantures. Some will be new tall tales or updates to the arena.

But you’re also cutting off half the player interactions available to you when you never treat anyone as friendly. I don’t like this advice. Don’t be adverse to either fighting or alliances because both can be fun.
Especially if an alliance turns nasty and you end up with the other parties loot.
This is the way. Everyone in this comment section seems to be “if you steal my shit and kill me in a pirate game you’re toxic” or “MURDER MURDER MURDER KILL ON SIGHT DESTROY THEM ALL”. Everyone needs to chill out and do a bit of both
I 100% agree, I genuinely hate it when people only ever sink and then back it up with "Oh hahaha but thieves is in the titles and pirates do it" when actual pirates rarely ever just went and sank every single ship they saw regardless of whether or not they knew something is on board.
@@ampsywampsy9182 but some people like to fight because
1. Potential loot and you dont half to share a cut with the other crew
2. They like to be challenged or just like combat
3. Are a reapers emmisary
@@hollow173 Yeah, I completely get and understand that, I just don't understand the assholes that, even if you tell them you don't have anything cause you legit don't, and they don't even have a Reapers, they STILL follow you across the entire map to sink you and gain nothing from it, that shit is just asinine
I love how this video makes me feel like I play Sea of Thieves on the regular, even though this is like one of five videos I’ve ever seen of it. Also, Norwegian gang.
You had me until you said Festival of the Damned was bad. It encouraged a lot of the best player interaction I’ve ever been in and brought some much-needed color into the seas.
I do love the way they approached micro transactions though. The micro transactions are purely cosmetic, and you can find skeletons in game that can give you their premium currency. Then for their plunder pass, most items are free, but you can buy the premium version and get a few other cosmetics, basically as a thank you for supporting their game.
For me and my friend, we so 2 persom sloops for thr two cannons. Often times a sloop v sloop is a long battle for whoever runs out of resources first, if you dont have gunpowder kegs. Now a brig v a sloop, is much easier with double the cannon power. I havent seen anyone put this reason yet so I thought id throw this out there. Great video!
Thats the only pro when doing a 2 man brigg ye got 1 cannon more all the Cons a 1 sails take longer to put up or down 2 the Anker takes way longer to get up and 3 2 People on each cannons means 0 People watching for ladders pretty much a easy target to kill
That's why your ultimate goal is boarding / killing and not endlessly shooting cannonballs until someone runs out. That's a very ineffective tactic against any matchup.
You're one of the few channels that I watch the videos multiple times... Just that good!!
My friend and I rock 2 player brig because it's still completely manageable whilst being faster, tankier and allows us to both shoot cannons if needed. Great vid btw!
Completely agree with your suggestions for island title screens and more PVP commendations, that is something I have been wanting for sometime now as well.
Listening to you struggle to pronounce "genuinely" has been my favorite moments of all the videos of yours I've bingewatched since starting this game a week ago.
My tiny little wish is MORE music in the backround.
omg the pirate legend who said "please stop" made me criiiiiiiiiinnnnnggggggggeeeeee
Completely agree on the island title cards popping up...in addition to the grievances you listed, it actually causes lag as well.
I will admit, I used to be a hardcore grinder that would hate get sunk or stolen from. But when my friend got the game, he encouraged me to be aggressive. When I was grinding progressing was slow. But after a little while in pvp, I went from level 30 to level 44 in like 2 weeks. If you wanna be good at pvp you have to act like you have nothing to lose. If you think like this you can do riskier things that players don’t usually expect and sink them immediately. Also it feels good to be a 2 man sloop going on a rampage against 3 man brigs and 4 man crews
Glad that you are getting more recognition Pixel!
I'm usually solo or dual on a brig. It's faster and allows room for friends when they jump on.
Great video! Thanks again
I HATE YOU!!!!!!
Magdalena Szczudlik maybe a bit tooooo much
Bye the last slot thing where friend is supposed to come happens all the time

ok you just earn my respect i love the way u play so calm and so chill :D u earn a new sub
Here comes the biggest fight that the community has had from the beginning - PvP vs PvE players.
PvP players hate on PvE players for working together with others and call out "It'S CalaED Sea fFOF THIeves not Sea of FRiends!!!11oneone"
PvE players hate on PvP players because they chose to play as aggressive pirates.
I find myself in the middle because I enjoy the best of both worlds.
Respect others for their choice in style of playing the game. If you can't do that, then why should you have the right to be left alone with *your* way of playing?
SoT since release has probably been my most favourite game there is so far, and the devs have made some great choices and improvements. I simply can't wait for more.
I agree with this. I'm a PvE player but I understand that I risk my loot sailing in waters with potentially hostile pirates. Sometimes I get annoyed but I respect that it's part of the game. This is why I learned defensive tactics instead of moaning on some forum. This way, I can enjoy PvP if someone tries to challenge me. If they beat me, they deserve the loot.
(Also tall tales was great but 5 times per mission for those commendations? That's an F minus for Rare in my book)
See, the not having the option to opt out of PvP thing is the main reason I don't play games like this. I can respect that people like that aspect of a game, and I'm happy they found a game they like. I will just choose not to play a game that doesn't match with my tastes (no matter how much I'd be all over it if that one aspect was removed).
@@beanstheclown Then SoT is unfortunately not the game for you.
I like being a spy and allying myself to a crew before backstabbing them and taking most of their loot with me in my sloop. It's fun.
This is why many pve people left SOT and rust. The community literally screams "Screw off" at every opportunity, at some point the game will die, maybe not now, but it will happen. Let's hope PvP players keep coming in and not get chased off from playing the game

Bout brig crews. My friend started to play sot 2 months ago, before that I always play as a solo sloop. After sometime he wanted to see other ship types, seeing in combat that brig was having no problems running away froms us. After playing on brig and getting full sails he really loved it, so now I have to 2 man brig cause my friend loves going fast and none of our friends liked the game. ALSO GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS

When his wish came true and there’s a card that says when you arrive that’s an epic gamer moment
Nice video, as always. You put a lot of work into them.
I don’t think they’ll let you buy premium items with gold, as many people would just grind them and Rare wouldn’t get the money they want out of micro transactions (even though they’re owned by Microsoft, which surely doesn’t lack resources).
They’ll probably add the option to buy them with doubloons, which at the current state don’t buy much.

This video is a masterpiece: said your critique, supported the company and generated content for the community.
Congrats, my norwegian friend!
this game is for nearly completing tall tales before getting into a 30 minute ship battle, one of your crew members leaves mid fight, so you gotta jump off with the two dang gems in a chest and stash them on an island to come back for, just to both get caught in a kraken and both sink in a blaze of glory. (and yes we did go back for the gems and completed the tall tale)
a brig is better in almost every way IF sailed right. it can be done with two players.
I solo play with the Brig. Kraken is the Kryptonite of solo Brigging though.
A duo sloop is actually the strongest ship in the game if both players are excellent. It being so nimble just opens up opportunities that even the most seasoned pirates can't physically do on a Brig or Galleon.
1:47 You literally just showed us that you have not bought a lot of stuff from the clothing shop... complain that there’s nothing to spend gold on when you own everything like me
Why would you buy everything? Why spend money on stuff you won't wear? That makes no sense.
@AbsolutePixel So you can play pirate dress-up and do a fashion montage of course. Duh.
I agree with you, gold is pointless in the game. I just play the game as a kind of roleplaying sandbox and forget about expecting any sense of progression. Most times I don't even bother selling loot.
when i play a brigatine with only 2 people, i usually do that because i'm making sure that a friend can join
I like running a two-man brig because my buddy and I have been playing since day one, and we feel like some real pirate gamers. Basically after so many covert operations where it took so much planning and effort to sink a galleon we just wanted more cannons to shoot and make boom.
You know why the brig is harder to take control of? If ur doin dat nobodys at the sails, fixing, steering wheel, bording only shooting. What ur doing if they shoot back and actually kill u becuz u were at the same side of the cannons? Brig is also sinking faster then the sloop thats.Why? Because its easier to kill 2 players with some lucky shots. And thats why the sloop takes longer
Here are my reasons why I jump on a 2 player brig:
1. It's too easy to sail a sloop. Usually when I jump on a sloop with my one other friend, one person will be doing everything while the other sits there awkwardly. I solo sloop all the time, and having another person on my sloop is actually more of a hindrance than an advantage.
2. More cannons on a brig. I've found more success fighting other ships on a 2 player brig than on a sloop, because my friend and I can both shoot at the same time.
3. More of a challenge. I've gotten good at two manning a brig, and it is more challenging and takes more concentration and effort from me. If I have more fun and I've gotten good at it, why would I pick a two man sloop?
Theiveing and combat should never be removed
But make it a fair playing field by splitting people who have mouse and keyboard
Give the option to opt-out of being paired with PC players but don't remove it entirely. Some players want to play with their friends on different platforms.
Come to think of it, if I ever start a game company, we'll start every day by watching videos like these to get inspired an get feedback
People do a two man brigantine because when it has wind and at full mask, it's actually faster then a sloop at full mask and that has wind, plus the anchor can still be raised fairly quickly as a duo

When I clicked on this video I didn’t expect to see The Know AND Inside Gaming in the first 30 seconds….a surprise to be sure but a welcome one
As a late update to this video, I play about 3h of the game or less per day. If you're lucky you can find up to 1 ancient skeleton (Skeleton that has the paid for currency) every session or two. After a week of playing casually I was able to purchase a pet and an outfit to go along with it.
I just got this game about a month ago and one of my favorite things is to steal from all the veteran players and sink every ship I come across. No leveling system and total balance makes this game really easy to get into quickly. Any tryhards in this game are forced to rely on pure skill if they want a one up on anyone (or a bigger crew). This game is a treasure and the best pirate game I've seen.
normally in a open crew your more likely get 2 people to actually stay long enough for a decent time but normally the 3rd person will constantly leave unless u have a decent amount of treasure.
when he said if your a terrible crew you will sink to that keg that reminded me of when some reapers crew was chasing us and my friend boarded them and heard and explosion because they ran over a keg but they didnt notice i guess and died and they were like actually good at the game
yup i am a grinder and yes i dont like being attackt while playing solo but the yoy of coming up on top after you won from someone who fired first and afterwards take his loot is a nice feeling
On the question of the 2 man brigs, I normally do it because we find it easier to use. More space aboard, extra cannon on each side and intimidation tactics. Usually it switches between 2 man and 1 manning them. If you know what your doing they can be as good as sloops
8:28 I sometimes do open crew brig and usually there is that ONE guy who leaves after 5 minutes
1 of the best Ytube videos I've ever seen. Gotta love that humor. Sea of, Sea or just Sea of Friends xDDDDDDD
Skeletal laughter for hours on and on....
I used the brig because if the anchor is lowered near an island and you are on the beach it looks like a pirate movie
From your sense of humor, I knew you'd have to be from the northern parts of Norway, and your dialect confirmed it
