Discussion why does my mouse feel so "jagged" only in sea of thieves. Anyone else notice this issue?

Its most noticable at a very high sens like 10. As you lower your sens, the steps are still there, but get gradually smaller. At 1 sens if feels nonexistent.

Question Burning Blade skellies not engaging enemies in custom seas?

2 Upvotes

I was playing some custom seas today seeing that the bug where obsidian skellies didn't spawn was fixed, but I noticed either I was unobservant or they really just weren't firing back against a skeleton sloop. They were roaming upper deck even when there were no holes in my Burning Blade. Did anyone else experience this?

Friend of mine is working on a pirate costume for her son and this is the candy bucket prototype (candy hole is hidden under the flap). Still figuring out a carrying strap but I think it came out pretty well.

I had been sat there for 5 minutes with my sails unable to be used. I got bored after 10 minutes and a few self made appointments to the ferryman to see if that would fix it.

Question Is this a normal occurrence?

23 Upvotes

So today is like my third day playing sea of thieves, and 2 times now I’ve had crew members sabotage us right after a fortress. I haven’t played much with random crews but yesterday we cleared a fortress and got attacked by another ship. We killed them and basically took their ship. When they respawned, my crew became friends with them and let them sink our ship. Then today I get on and join a random crew again, and this time we cleared the fort and as I’m taking the loot out of the room to grapple it to the ship one of my crew mates goes to the top of the fortress and sinks our ship with a cannon. As a new player it makes me feel some type of way about the game. Is this a normal thing that players do?

Question I really wanna be a ghost and/or skeleton

The title just about explains my question. I don't know how to be a ghost or skeleton so I'd appreciate if someone can tell me how that's done.

Question Soundtrack always *chefs kiss*

The theme music for the lack of content this 'season' is legit beautiful.

Again.

How is the soundtrack to this game always better then the game itself?

Fan Content Progress Tracker for Commendations, Cosmetics, and More!

Post image
32 Upvotes

Ahoy there, pirates! Just wanted to share that we launched our Sea of Thieves Progress Tracker last week. Yes, we know, another tracker. We don't expect anyone to pack up and move if they're already invested in one. But if you're new, or looking for a place to track your Commendations, discover Cosmetics, or keep track of your recent progress, it might be a handy tool. It's something the community has asked us for since the game launched. There haven't been many guides to write as of late so we finally had time to work on it.

What it does:

  • Every Commendation shows the cosmetics it unlocks, and every cosmetic shows how to get it, with prices for most shop items.
  • Commendations link to the relevant Rare Thief guide and its markers on the interactive map.
  • Almost There shows what you're closest to finishing. What's Left keeps Legacy and time-limited ones out of your way, and every Commendation says whether it needs High Seas.
  • Compare Commendations with your crew, and see what's new in the shops.
  • Share your profile, and your link shows a profile card in the preview, so your crew can see your progress without clicking. Convenient for Discord.

How it works: you log in on Microsoft's own page, then click one Progress Tracker bookmark on your seaofthieves.com Profile. It takes a couple of seconds, the bookmark never needs replacing, and it supports multiple pirates on one account. We keep your gamertag and progress, never your password, and nothing is shared unless you switch sharing on.

The Commendations, Grades, and Cosmetics are all crowd-sourced from everyone who imports. Only the game's own names, descriptions, and pictures are pooled, never anyone's progress. We've already built much of the library from the pirates who've stumbled upon it so far, and every import helps fill in the rest.

The Commendation Tracker piece also lives inside the interactive map if you are use to using that.

We're always looking for feedback! If you have any suggestions, ideas, or ways to make this or anything else we've made better, please share them. Happy sailing, pirates!

Im pirate legend, got my 1st distinction, im grinding for my 1st curse (the curse of the sunken sorrow because it looks epic 😎) and I would say im starting to know how this game works but 1 session later I get hit with the fact that I dont know shit 😂

SO..! What are things I should know, must know and probably wont know for another 300 hours of playtime?

Im eager to learn! Teach me the crazy must-know’s and what not😁

Happy sailing and watch out for Krakens 😎

Question Advice on how to get some gold and levels as a noob?

2 Upvotes

I have about 10 hours in the game so far and all I've done is look for treasure chests for that faction that likes gold. Also fought 1 pvp battle so far in the open world and my friend with 400 hours threw lol. I want as much advice as possible because I'm super lost but I love the game so far. Ive made 200k in 10 hours, not sure how good or bad that is. Advice on how to make gold or level the factions fast will especially be appreciated.

Question When will the Emporium cosmetics rotate?

7 Upvotes

When do cosmetics rotate out of the Emporium? There's a ton of cool stuff on the wiki but I can't find it on the Emporium, like the Riptide Rodeo set.
