- 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 :)

By far the most relatable part 😂

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.

If they were useful that’d be pay to win.

@@samuels.5129 And TF2. Hats offer no strategic advantage, but they look bomb-ass as shite.
@@whitemountain_ Na man. TF2 was definitely pay to win, or did you forget the amount of different weapons that you could buy, and not earn, and they'd be superior to other weapons? 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.

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

Looks like someone is gonna two man brig

Excuse me, but you missed "surfing on a megalodon" in the sea travel category

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
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
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.

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

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

@@ly789 we know.
They’re 6 months in. Already surpassed your initial expectations
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.
August 16, 2020, exactly 1 year after this video, we have 11 new content updates. Wheres my 2-man brig
Other players: “why are you killing and robbing us?”
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.
We'll look at SoT now... They're pulling it off so far ...
IKR
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.
@@SDNative1980 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.
@@SDNative1980 look at your first comment, you replied to me for some reason.
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.
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
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 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 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
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.
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.
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'
Just found this video 2 years later... Still made me chuckle a few times.
They didn't say the monthly updates will be only bilge rat advantures. Some will be new tall tales or updates to the arena.
that upgrade to the arena is close
@@floodedfish Just happened, the new update is redoing arena looks great

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
Your voice is so pleasing I just spent 14min hearing you talk about a game I've never even played
Glad that you are getting more recognition Pixel!
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

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.

damn I cant go anywhere without seeing you or the others in pvp community
This video is a masterpiece: said your critique, supported the company and generated content for the community.
Congrats, my norwegian friend!
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
Found this video after it's 1.5 years old. The ending wish is my current wish today. I'm often inconvenienced by the title cards at the worst times. I like your videos, very entertaining and high quality. I'm always impressed by people who are bi-lingual.
But they recently did add an option to remove the title cards :)
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
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.

Lots of two player crews use the brig over the sloop because when you are in the wind, the brig is tremendously faster and allows you to get to your destination a lot quicker.
the dislikes were from sea of thieves staff.

Personly I have no issues with micro transactions as long as they are not p2w and most importantly "you know exactly what you are buying" SoT ticks both boxes... I don't mind one bit spending on this game... we get regular updates and we know what we are buying so I fully support it
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.

how did it not age well?
@@jessej6574 microtransactions ingame now
@@quinn6922 did you watch the video?
Pixel, the reason you see 2 player brigs more then 3 is because of a mind trick. If you were on a galleon, you are more likely to sink to a full crewed brig then to a full crewed sloop. Even if there is only 2 on the brig, seeing the brig from a distance will give a different reaction, thinking the brig if fully crewed, making the risks are higher than a sloop. Its essentially to make other ships not attack. Most sloops will not attack a larger ship, since they have more members then you.
SUMMARY: 2 player brig makes you think there are 3 players and you want to attack it less even though its the same amount of people as a sloop, which you would most likely attack.
ALSO: I was on a brig doing Shroudbreaker SOLO because my 2 friends were late/AFK. I fought off a skeleton galleon and another big AT THE SAME TIME.
Are you proud of me yet lord of the seas?

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)
"

Really cool to see that most of the things talked about in this video are now better nowadays in sea of thieves
Well, they finally fixed the title cards!
Og; fette bra støff, mannen!
The only reason I can think of for two man brigs is waiting for a friend to join
I hope they add Whirlpools
It's just that you love it and want to see it improve and pointing out those things is part of your passion
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 his wish came true and there’s a card that says when you arrive that’s an epic gamer moment
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.
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
i would like to try out sea of thieves, feel this athmosphere, aprecciate the artistic direction, and even die and sink my ship because of other players, that would be cool, too bad i am another one of those persons that cant because well, my computer wouldnt run it and i dont have the money to buy (its 200R$ in brazil ffs)
It's the best game ever the first time you play
@@connorclark6553 i believe
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
@AbsolutePixel
I'm pretty sure that pairs of players have started using the brig due to the addition of the chainshot. If you're on a sloop, you get hit ONCE with a chainshot and you may as well just scuttle the ship to save time. The sloop's main advantage is its speed and maneuvering abilities, and if you take that away by disabling the ONE mast, your ship is now stationary, fragile (as it literally says in the "sloop" description in the main menu), and only able to fire back at a little faster than one cannonball per second. Having two masts as the brig gives you _much_ better odds.
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
As a Norwegian, it's always fun to hear people speak norwegian in english speaking videos
From your sense of humor, I knew you'd have to be from the northern parts of Norway, and your dialect confirmed it
Veldig gøy å plutselig høre norske ord i denne videoen! Veldig godt jobbet dude :D
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.
If you still wanna know why 2 player briggs: My friend and I play together most of the time. First benefit is that a third friend can always join in. Second benefit is that we can both shoot because there are 2 cannons on each side. Third benefit is the sailing speed of the brig (the sloop is slow as hell; no way I'm gonna take the sloop even when I'm playing alone). When we start with 3 people we usually take a galleon because then we might do missions in Devil's Roar where the Galleon is nearly immune to volcano damage. Hope I cleared things up for you ;) Main thing is the sailing speed
I have a question not related to SOT, as someone with Swedish family I am curious, does Norway and Sweden have similar language? Like would you understand if someone typed "Jag pratar inte svenska" into the chat?
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
2 years later and the game is almost a whole game, wowee!
2 player brigs because you expect a 3rd player to come on in a min, but then another person wants to join so you have to join a galleon. That's usually what happens for me in a 2 man brig
*Sloop vs Brig as a Solo player:*
Sloop I like if I plan on playing a long time and attacking.
Brig I like if I'm short on time and intend to run. Plus it''s an intimidation factor against other solo players.
A solo brig is not a terrible choice and for things like merchant alliance it can be better then a sloop speed wise.
*note* you really need to be on your game to solo a brig. There's not much down time to have a coffee or pee on the move xD
when i play a brigatine with only 2 people, i usually do that because i'm making sure that a friend can join
Still waiting for rare to add the sails in the thumbnail
Hey Pixel! Are u gonna be one of those peeps who uses a brig for 2 players. We got all of the monthly updates!
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
Dude my favorite kegging was when I took a fortress keg and jumped off the nose of the ship onto theirs, and blew it on the staircase where it created holes in their lower deck and took out their mast at the same time.
6:56 That's got to be the best pirate i've ever seen.
So it would seem
8:28 I sometimes do open crew brig and usually there is that ONE guy who leaves after 5 minutes
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.
Me and my friend find the brig better than the sloop in some situations (when we're playing in a duo). It's not really hard to control and both teammates can fire the cannons at the same time! If you're good, you can manage the brig with just 2 people.
Im seeing this the day the new title cards have arrived. Such a wonderful moment. 1 year later but they made it nontheless lol.
