old thread actually my bad
1st for comfy merchant missions!
2nd for piracy being wrong and that every player should turn themselves in to the nearest authorities
>Piracy
But I bought my version.
Are the spooky distant creature noises you hear now and then a sign of the Kraken or are they just ambient noises? They almost sound like whales.
Does anyone know of a good video that has some advanced and vital sail angling guides for the galleon?
The only sign the Kraken gives is that the sea turns darker and your forward movement in the sea stop.
>just solo handed in 2 snakes and 2 chickens
I'm fast on my way to being a true rogue trader.
>pick up 2 snakes
>put them below deck near stairs to guard your treasure
>anyone who boards trying to look for it will be bitten because they won't assume to play music while raiding your ship
Oceanic discord

Possibly reddit, not sure
I'm surprised at how fast some people have hit level 30 or above as you have to be grinding 12+ hours a day. Now I would not be surprised if someone hit 50 or got close to it by the end of this month.
Raided a fort today
good loot

when you see a "female" in sot
what the hell does this mean?
To see all apps and games, your device needs to be running Windows 10 Anniversary Edition
It means that in order to see all apps and games, your device needs to be running Windows 10 Anniversary Edition
update windows?
>5 hours of sailing with people on discord
>End up going to bed at 6am
so you can't run this game on windows 10 home edition?
it means the anniversary update for windows 10, all versions i think, just update
he's even got his hand around her
that's cute
i'm fully updated
Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 1709
OS Build 16299.309
64bit system
don't know, maybe try this
blogs.windows.com
no idea otherwise, both my pcs did it automatically back when it came out
I wish galleons had a deployable rowboat.
i wish 6 and 8 ships were a thing
Frigate class, destroyer class
Below deck cannons would be sweet
i got it sorted, thanks, turned out i had it all along and microsoft was just dicking with me a bit, they always do that. I am downloading the gayme on my pc now ;)
I spent almost an hour trying to find a decent female model before I got frustrated and just picked a big ol fat guy
I say the galleon should be 4 minimum and they should add a midground ship (schooner) that could ideally be operated by 3, with 2 sets of guns and 2 sails.
I managed to find a lot of shit just from randomly sailing to different islands, random skeleton skulls just laying on the beach, tea crates here and there, I don't mind the exploration playstyle now and again
Sometimes I like taking a solo sloop out for a ride with no voyages and seeing what I can pick up for free just by exploring around. Comfy feel.
I'm praying for this in the future. I either run solo or with 2/3 of my mates, but having to board a Galleon with three of us just feels so clunky when were used to swooping in and snatching gold, as well outpacing Galleons and littering them with holes before they can land a shot on us. A 3 man ship with more things to manage then the Sloop, but less then the Galleon with a medium speed and firepower would be diamonds
someone said this was leaked for a future update but could be fud

>Theyre Xbox and cannot talk
>We tell them that theres an enemy Galleon and we need to work together
>Clear the final wave, split the treasure
For real though, fuck the respawn system, if your ship sinks twice at an skeleton outpost, it should respawn across the entire map
>Just did a bunch of skelly missions
>Got some skulls to bring back, on the way to outpost

I can't even fucking BELIEVE
>he still doesn't know how to git gud at SoT still
Bet you nerds didn't put all your stat points into combat states like strength or dexterity, when the real winner is putting all stat points into luck.
reported
..........This is a bug right? This can't be right?
imagine all the loot you missed by not digging twice
Rookie mistake learned: don't pull into an outpost where at least one other ship is already present.
What why would you not sink their ship first?
You are a liar. There is no possible way this happened.
>digging up treasure
>bringing it back to ship
>on last return I notice most valuable stuff is missing
>see sloop leaving from otherside of island
>they'd been taking the treasure as I'd been dropping it off
Fucking hell I got outplayed so hard, I ended up chasing them and dueled at the outpost, killed them both but then a shark got me and they were able to cash in, if you two read this fuck you but it was pretty funny, it makes me want to play like a scumbag too
I was solo queue with a bunch of stuff in my hold. I just wanted to sell my stuff and was on a timetable, and I didn't think anything of it. It's only now that I realize that the only reason anyone would ever pull into an outpost is because they're either licking their wounds from a major battle, or they've got shit to sell.
its a pirate way of playing
draw penises on enemy ship maps
Honest truth. Guy was just new or something and was fucking around I guess.
That goes beyond fucking around. That's shit you lock someone in the brig for.
>draw penises on enemy ship maps
G e n i u s
if you use an autoclicker you can probably make their map unusable
>tfw can write nigger on maps and can't get in trouble
I'm gonna sneakyboi onto a galleon that's at a fort and just wait for them next time.
Had a grand night with a Veeky Forums from the dischord. We annihilated a Galleon as they were taking on a fort, buddy even hit a guy carrying a gunpowder barrel as he was doing that barrel thing.
It was brillaint, otherwise rest of it was typical gameplay, we didn't have enough cannonballs so we just went on treasure hunting and such, while gathering supplies.
Get like 100 cannon balls, and Planks, and 80 bananas before I get booted by lag.
Galleon is noob tier
>installed windows 10 just for this
man I hate windows 10 already
You installed windows 10 for this game despite all the reviews?
I hated Win10 at launch but I'd never go back to 7 now user, Win10 shits on it
it wasn't that hard to make a partition
and game reviews can suck my dick dude, try playing games for yourself some time
literally only playing this because 1. its free 2. i have 3 other friends to try it with
>trusting "paid reviewers"
even reviewers that shit on games can't be trusted
Put all the privacy shit to off in the setting and put the telemetry to 1 (basic).
Don't get me wrong, I love this game. It just seems like most people hopped on the bandwagon to hate it just for the sake of hating it.
All the more reason to try it out, huh?
Like every games ever on /v/
hatewagon of the century award goes to metal gear survive
i enjoyed it but the eceleb community really went hard on it without actually playing it
>friends decide to do a fort
>we all go
>a whole fucking fleet of sloops show up and we all start fighting the skeletons
>one or two other sloops sail past and fire a few shots
>literally 3/4ths the whole server is there
>as the boss spawns suddenly all the friendliness disappears from everyone
>theres a few people killing the boss as total bedlam erupts outside
>someone had filled our ship with gunpowder barrels utterly and completely btfoing our ship
>not before we also comandeered half the sloops and started sinking the other half
>rammed everything together and in the complete chaos everyones boats sunk or sailed off into the distance while taking on water
>literally one half dead random became king of the skeleton fort, after killing our last guy, with no ship to load the loot onto
>no idea if anyone ever managed to actually come back and load all the shit up as im pretty sure i saw people swimming off into the ocean carrying chests and shit
fucking pirates man
That's because you're an idiot that can't handle diverse opinions.
>See a sloop or two fighting a galeon
>my dude and i try to offer truce to help with the fort
>one of the galleon pirates slip onto our ship and try to sail it out
>once we get back on board, say Fuck em to all of them
>fire 11 shots at the galleon twice, last show on the turn around hits a powderkeg
>just see 4 pirates on their boat, clearly out of planks, accept their ultimate fate
>sail out a bit and we take turns popping heads with the sniper rifles
Never trust a pirate, and never parlay when EPIC LOOT is up for grabs
At least I have a grasp on reading comprehension.
PUBG easter egg?
I... I just wanted to turn in my two pigs for one last mission before the server shutdown... was that so much to ask?
Was it too much for just a bit of mercy with 10 minutes left on the server?
I worked for those two simple, humble pigs and you double teamed me and stole them just as I was going to turn them in.
I fed those pigs.
I rarely even do merchant missions.
I am saltier than a mermaid's tit right now.
That absolute lack of courtesy.
Actually came across a female today, she had a male character. She was very upset about us stealing her treasure chest and sailing her sloop onto shore.
(1/2)
Let me tell you a story of 4 idiots who managed to do the impossible.
Our story begins with a Norwegian, Danish man, Swede and an Icelander sailing a galleon.
>Starts out normally, the crew barley manages to do anything everyone is drunk on grog or has no idea what to do.
>Over the next 30 minuets they learn how to work as a team, and have gathered some booty.
>They see a skeleton fort has spawned
>"We can totally do that, let's go!!!","Should we return in our booty first?"
>"It's go big or go home", everyone agrees and we hurry to the fort.
>When we arrive a blue galleon and a sloop are fighting, we ram the galleon and board.
>We manage to take out the blue galleon, the sloop sank or ran away.
>We start fighting the fort, manage 5 waves or so.
>"The blue galleon has returned!!!", we slaughter it.
>Manage to fight few more waves.
>"Galleon coming from the west!!!", we are having a harder time fighting this one.
>Cannonballs are running low by now.
>"The blue galleon has returned!!!", now we are fighting 2 galleons.
>By some miracle we manage to sink the other galleon, the blue galleon still stands strong.
>We are now out of cannonballs, and few minuets later the blue galleon is also out of cannonballs.
>We run around the island stealing everything we can use to sink them.
>30 minutes pass where we are boarding each other, stealing every banana and or plank they have.
>Every tactic is used, boarding with a bucket full of water to throw on board to try and sink it that way.
>"There is another galleon waiting on the other side of the island, I'm going to steal it and ram it into the blue galleon"
>Somehow he manages to do that alone, while we defend our ship.
>We spawn camp them while the blue galleon slowly sinks.
>The galleon we used to ram the blue galleon is now stuck next to us, we barely manage to sink it by stealing cannonballs from them.
>"The blue galleon is fucking back!!!"
Wtf, epic
(2/2)
>By this point we have been out of cannon balls, bananas and planks for an hour. Only using what we stole.
>"I see two gunpowder barrels in the ocean"
>That magnificent bastard manages to swim back and forth with one while we board the blue galleon and spawn camp them.
>He explodes the barrel under the ship, and it sinks.
>We manage to kill the stronghold boss, we leave one guy behind to guard the key while the rest of us destroy our galleon with the other gunpowder barrel.
>By this point it looked like a Swiss cheese.
>We sail back on a new galleon, even got lost on the way back there.
>We empty the stronghold and carry the rest of the loot we found earlier that evening to our ship.
>We get 20.000+ worth of gold after that crazy adventure.
tldr; We managed to sink 6 galleons while taking out a skeleton fort. Most of the time we where out of cannonballs.
I can't wait to sail these seas again with you bastards.
>find uncharted island, fucking sweet
>huge shipwreck underneath it, multiple chunks of galleon or something bigger shorn apart and scattered across the sea floor near the island
>explore the entire wreck and island
>0 loot
>find another uncharted island hours later
>same shit
>third uncharted island, once again zero loot, not even a message in a bottle
what the FUCK is even the point of these shitty islands?
I'm a pirate sailing in search of plunder and fortune, not a tourist visiting a goddamn museum
actually it's rare.
See this is what's annoying, I can understand your frustration but I was island sailing an hour ago and was finding skulls, tea shipments, all sorts of shit - yet other times I just end up like you
Anyone else been getting like 100-300 ping usually with rubber banding everywhere. It's impossible to kill other players because they teleport all over the fucking place.
It's Bluehole
either the Maintenance or your internet
Oh, don't get me wrong I find the odd extra loot on the mapped islands. Even found a book once that opened a little dialog when activated and gave us a treasure map for three buried chests. But I'm talking about the UNCHARTED islands specifically. These are islands that aren't marked on the map, there's at least three of them that I've visited now. And they have cool features like these huge underwater shipwrecks, but have ZERO loot on them, at least for my friends and I.
Has anyone found any loot at all on an uncharted island? Even a powder keg to sell?
It's been going on since yesterday. Happens to me, happens to two other friend groups
>doing a skull fort
>almost done maybe 2-3 more waves
>Another Galleon pulls up, we ask for a parley so we don't spend 3 hours fighting and neither of us get any loot
>They just silently open fire
>they sink our galleon but I manage to get to the Island and hide
>Friends respawn and sail back
>I board the enemy galleon while they're distracted with my friends coming back and firing
>friends ram them
>unload cannons into them point blank
>kill them as they respawn
>sail around the island as they sink
>they don't come back
The most satisfying skull fort I've ever won. Get fucked
I had it happen. There was another chest right beneath the chest I dug up.
that sounds like a blast user, sometimes it feels like the only way to actually sink someone is to ram them and board so they cant repair
>played for hours
>not a single skull fort spawn until 20 minutes before maintenance
git good loser
We really need some NPC ships around to liven the waters up. Also i jumped into the water when fighting a kraken to see its body. Nothing but darkness. Are achievements still turned off?
>npc ships
imo only having players as pirates makes each encounter distinct and memorable, an npc isn't going to try to board or toss explosive barrels overboard as youre gaining on them.
now new island monsters like giant crabs and luring sirens is another story.
Yessss All those crab paintings and giant kraken paintings I'm seeing make me wanna see more monsters and an actual body on the Kraken. I'm hoping the Kraken skulls we see on islands all over islands hint that we're gonna see the whole thing sooner or later.
Yeah more monster variety would be nice but id like to have the option of tackling a merchant ship I stumble upon in the sea. Of course players are going to be more memorable because of the craziness but it will add to the variety that this game is lacking right now.
You might have been on my server. We did a massive voyage though, 16 chests, 20 skulls and a goblet. Got 18k from it.
I know where you're talking about. They'll use them for contests and events and shit.
Like pic related, found this in an underwater tunnel leading to a cave. They'll do some stupid contest where they hide a bunch of Captains Chests in here
What the fuck, you got all that from one voyage? What was your rep level for the faction?
I don't know it wasn't my voyages, but we found 4 message in the bottles along the way. One of them was 6 chests on an island where we also got 3 skulls.
Oh, most of that wasn't the actual voyage objective then. Just some good luck with "exploration" loot.
you can't summon it somewhere to kill it?
Well, it was 2 voyages and some bottles, shipwrecks and random loot. But it was one run, which in my books is a voyage.
Already downloaded and setup but wont be playing with friends tomorrow. Should I wait or is there some prep things I can do
