Sea of Thieves is such an amazing game. I love just taking my boat and doing the treasure hunting. I haven’t played in over a year because the one thing i can’t deal with is the pvp. I am not good at it and frankly i have zero interest in it. But it is forced on you and people will sometimes just chase you till the ends of the ocean to take you out. I know there is now a “safe seas” mode but it is soooo limited. You aren’t even allowed to take your own ship 🥺.
I always played with my partner and my little sister. But my little sister just ends up getting drunk, eating all the food and falling off the boat hahaha. So we put her ass in the jail sell till she sobers up.
But fuck do i miss this game… alright time to reinstall!
I love your posts btw! I check and read the whole post every day. Always gets me excited to play the games you are currently playing.
I’m not hog on the PvP either, especially when you get people who are so deep in the Meta that they’re employing advanced strategies. I’m not against the PvP, but I wish there was a way to just toggle it on or off while still being public. Because I do genuinely enjoy it from time to time.
I hope you have fun reinstalling. And thanks for enjoying it. I like seeing people try games i suggest. Makes me happy I convinced others to try new things (or pick up old ones in this case)
Good news! Over a year ago they opened a feature called safer seas where you can play without PvP!
The comment you’re replying to specifically mentions this feature and the fact that they do not use it and the reasoning behind that decision
It’s been hours now (and a very busy day), but I swear that half of that comment (including that section) wasn’t there when I commented regarding safer seas.
But there’s no mark showing the comment has been edited either.
Scurvy must be eating me brain.
Sometimes it be like that
This is me on nearly every level.

When I first read this, I thought your sister was doing this IRL lol
My brother and I played a few times, but he’s not into it.
I like playing alone sometimes but then it gets boring and repetitive playing by myself. I’m not into PvP either so I’m okay with meeting AI enemies, but as soon as another human comes around, I usually noped out because I just don’t want to be bothered.

The dislike for forced PvP resonates with me. I thought about picking up Sea of Thieves (after a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon don‘t judge me) but the user reviews mentioning bad experiences with PvP put me off again. Maybe we‘ll see an unofficial shard server in the future.

Good news! No need to wait for unofficial servers. Over a year ago they opened a feature called safer seas where you can play without PvP!

Opened the feature and severely limited aspects of the game.

TBf they’ve cnanged a bunch since then, even still all they’ve really done is limited the PvP aspects.
If you love the PvE aspect of the game, then you aren’t missing anything in safe seas
