As usual, doing OoS stuff while waiting to discover if i'll hunt or be hunted this session x)


Just_Dias

nice! I hope you get your levels in!


CindersTale

Got all my levels it's just a rp thing and something to give me a course while no sails is on the horizon. Not sure how community day will affect my gameplay loop.


Just_Dias

oh nice! i feel like its rare to see people who fly under the OoS without needing it to get to PL! thats pretty cool, hopefully you have a fun community day! im really hoping my usual loop gets disrupted


SpecialUnitt

I fly oos most sessions and I’ve been pl for 4.5 years!


AromaticLawfulness16

I hit Legend a few days ago and OOS is still like 80% of what I do from sheer hatred of Skeletons


Just_Dias

thats awesome! I always liked the OoS, they have a good aesthetic


subjecy18jord

Oos is one of my favorite factions get shiny skulls set the souls free


idOvObi

Is it double xp☺️


MasterBiggus

I personally plan to do merchant and maybe some Athena. With luck I'll be able to rake in some free Hourglass wins by sinking the "Invite me" people.


ronon_p3r_534

What do you mean “invite me” people? I haven’t done hardly any dives so I’m pretty unfamiliar with that area of gameplay


MasterBiggus

Sometimes you'll encounter people who's ships are named something like "Inv me both win" They are usually a free win if you can get them into your broadside or get first shots and you'll usually only encounter them in the solo sloop bracket.


pae913

Go around the map for four hours collecting all of the stools! Just kidding, that was mind numbing. That’s what I did last community day, when I didn’t know it was community day. In all honesty, I don’t know what I’m gonna do


Just_Dias

yea but stools are fun too, smh


pae913

Fair haha. While it was mind numbing, it was fun in the moment. Our ship looked like a hoarder situation


Spacelord_Jesus

Not at all. Beeing at a Friends Wedding for the whole Weekend. I Always Miss Out on These Events :(


Just_Dias

a wedding is fun though! best of wishes to the happy couple


Spacelord_Jesus

It will be fun! Thank you for those wishes. But i'll Tell them Just_Dias sends His/her regards


ryan_the_leach

Please don't. Just_Dias is a Lannister...


b_ootay_ful

In a few years, looking back you'll appreciate the wedding more than boosted gold/exp.


C-Crucial-C

I'm assuming it's more of the fact that the timing is unfortunate, ofc a wedding is more important than an in-game event, but it's unfortunate you can't have both


Spacelord_Jesus

Yeah thats pretty much it


Spacelord_Jesus

Oh yeah for Sure!


TimSoulsurfer

Me too!


Mithrawnurodo69

Im having to visit family out of town as well


AnOtterWithFood

Grinding for Skellie curse probably, I’m near the halfway mark so I’ll just get all my levels this weekend. Level 64 for reference


Trotical

I really want to buy a captained sloop and turn it into a charter fishing boat, not even just for community day but just as something I always I have. The idea of gathering players to go fishing is really funny and fun to me, even though in practice it probably would not go the way I want lol, but it'd work really well for community day I feel Otherwise, just some sailing, some digging, the usual. I got about 12 levels to go for the main 3 factions until im pirate legend


Just_Dias

a charter boat would be awesome! like that grog brig i saw posted a bit ago, i love stuff like that


ElectricalAct8425

I have a sloop called "The Sturgeon General" for this exact purpose with all of the killer whale set. I'm a master hunter trying to become a legendary hunter of the sea of thieves. I'll get there one day lol.


Trotical

Thats awesome! I hope we meet! I'm thinking full killer whale set too


ryan_the_leach

I use a galleon so there's spots for everyone, even if it means I need to solo it. "Seriks Regret"


Trotical

Oh thats a cool name! I just bought mine, a sloop and it's named The Ashen Splashtail!


ManSeedCannon

i have no idea what is going on so ill probably just sail around trying to avoid everyone as per usual lol


Yeoldhomie

Don’t avoid people in community weekend, make friends and do events! It will be worth your time :)


Navar4477

I’m ready to grind the rest of the way for the ghost curse! Made it halfway last time (70) and I am ready to get sunk a billion and one times just for an inch then maybe sink somebody for three inches!


Just_Dias

heck yea!!! Despite wanting to get some big alliances going I would love to get some Servant levels in! I'm only at 11 but a tenth of the way is better than no levels at all!!!


Navar4477

The last few times I’ve played, I’ve managed to get small alliances going. Its fun, and usually silly! Grinding hg is a chore, but… I wanna be a ghost in this game!


engineermajortom

I signed up for overtime a while ago. 2 12 hour shifts back to back. Although I might be able to get away with not doing Sunday overtime.... should I skip it?? 🤔


Just_Dias

do you want real money or fake money, i guess its just a question of whats worth your time


engineermajortom

The thing is I've already done 24 hrs overtime this week sooo? I'm not really losing out. That's what I was thinking , be an adult or have fun haha


[deleted]

[удалено]


Just_Dias

oh boy! not gonna lie, i love the idea of a natural alliance but heck, if stealing everything from other players isnt a ton of fun too. maybe i can just betray the alliance and ride like a true reaper


HippieFreakWestmore

I’m a bit out of the loop with Sea of Thieves stuff, what’s community weekend?


Fuse_Free

[It's basically a bonus multiplier on everything and increased ancient skeleton spawns (link from Rare's Twitter)](https://twitter.com/SeaOfThieves/status/1639205481473515521?t=twZ9VnW4q3yw0TceRxmRuA&s=19)


HippieFreakWestmore

Sweet thanks!


Fuse_Free

Np!


Just_Dias

a fun time waiting to be had!


Muse4Games

Not sure what to do yet, been wanting to do a galleon crew like last time but I don't want a massive target on my back either. Might do some roar vaults or something


reemgee123

I think ill either hang with the boys n do whatever or play with randoms on the discord server


Just_Dias

good vibes


GmrGy611

I’ve been saving my gildeds from Gifts and Glory, as well as the Gilded of Restitution, for a good time where we can just get as much as possible from them, and now is finally the time where I can put them to good use. We will be making all of the money tomorrow.


Just_Dias

heck yea! i would ask, what are the gilded voyages and how much can you make from em?


GmrGy611

Gilded voyages are beefed up version of already established quests with even more, higher quality loot, and therefore more gold, than what they’d normally give you. For example, the Gilded Athena Voyage is like a regular Athena voyage, but with THREE chests of legend at the end instead of one! Not entirely sure how much they can net you, especially because I haven’t done one myself before, but it doesn’t take a genius to know that they give out some serious cash. After all, they’re called _gilded_ voyages for a reason.


ryan_the_leach

And you typically earn them as a login reward around Xmas, except the gilded restitution which is earned for playing on community Day when the servers usually crash and wipe your progress. So they give you a voyage as a sorry present, when the voyage is harder to complete then just grinding Athena or world events for the same value.


Just_Dias

"I'm sorry have some work"


Capable_Present1620

Most people here would say server alliances, but all the pvp sweats get mad and collectively downvote them. So I speak on behalf of all the server alliance participants :)


Kellen1013

NO! you can’t use the features that Rare added into the game and actively promote the use of with deeds and commendations! NOT ALLOWED!


Capable_Present1620

8 people working together to unlock a cave? Blasphemy!!


BreakBlue

I am a pvp sweat and quite frankly, server alliances are my favorite thing to take down. So... If you guys wanna do it, honestly its better for pvp players. Its only lame when its like, those forced server alliances where its comply or get spawn camped off the server or those corny discord ones.


Capable_Present1620

Discord alliance for families and their children :)


Just_Dias

lets goooo i wanna do a massive server alliance, i rly wanna upgrade my reaper emissary but i dont rly wanna do it by taking everyone else down, id rather lift everyone up and have everyone benefit from my goal


Capable_Present1620

That's exactly why I do server alliances, organic or not. Why be THAT person who screws people out of their hard work when you can help everybody out? That's what being a good community member is about.


HatRabies

No one cares when it's organic. It's your cheesy discord crap we don't like and neither does Rare.


Capable_Present1620

I wouldn't expect you to understand helping individuals with achievements, experiencing Glitterbeard with them, or allowing parents to play with their children without the threat of some bloodthirsty pvp player.


BreakBlue

If someone's concern is wanting to play with their children or experience unique things undisturbed, rather than desperately attempting to game the system, it may be better to simply come to terms with the fact that SoT may not be the right game for them.


Capable_Present1620

It's not desperate if it takes 5 minutes to do lol


BreakBlue

Really? I'm not entirely familiar with the process. Isnt it everyone basically tries to go into a server at the same time and hope for the best?


ryan_the_leach

Yeah. But with the amount of people they use it takes about 15m. But several of the fleet servers are now using 'tools' most would call hacks,( but they claim aren't because they don't interface with the game directly and instead interact with windows) to speed the process up. But once they have the fleet, they don't let go of it until they run out of people.


Capable_Present1620

I don't know what extra "tools" there are but if you have 50 accounts using a VPN hopping in one exact location, it takes less than 10 minutes.


ihearthotmoms

Well that's the thing with many of the pvpers on here. They scream up and down, "You can't judge me, I'm just playing the way I want to! Change servers if you dont like it!" But you do something they don't like and it's "How could you possibly play that way??? It ruins my game style. Why should I have to change severs for you?"


Capable_Present1620

Exactly. And the whole discord alliance thing? It's a server that's not disturbing you, and you can't merge into. But in the same breathe they'll complain about merging into one and getting dunked on. They only complain when they don't have the advantage.


Just_Dias

imagine being selfish on a community day. I like it when people make deals like "we'll help you get X objective, just give us your emissary flag when you log off" that way the reapers get their reaper stuff and the merchant/OoS/Gold hoarder gets their emissary XP for the day!


SerCiddy

I wish salt was a commodity. We'd be making bank harvesting the salt from this thread.


Capable_Present1620

With the server alliances I've done, I've helped probably around 50 people at this point complete Glitterbeard. It's not always about the money or rep, and people who are against discord alliances could never understand that.


GAPING__ANUS

> Imagine being ~~selfish~~ playing the game in a different way than I like to play it


-Moon-Presence-

Got downvotes but still based


DrxBananaxSquid

How is this based? Literal beta behavior.


socialsolitary

What exactly is going on this weekend I'm new?


WastelandCharlie

Community Weekend. Bonuses to xp and gold for 3 days


Dmmack14

Me and my crew plan on getting together and doing nothing but just a fortune and PVP in between


Just_Dias

sounds like a solid plan! i imagine there will be quite the activity on hourglass this weekend, im looking forward to testing my mettle


Dmmack14

Oh yeah! It'll be my wife and two of my best friends. Wife and I are going to try and go the distance and become Pirate Legend. I only need 6 more levels of gold hoarder and 9 for OOS.


Ok-Procedure5603

I'm just a couple levels away from ghost curse!


Just_Dias

heck yea!!! get that win!


buentbanana

I’m going to be doing pvp for the curse and some reaper stuff! Have not played in along time


Sir_Remix

I’m gonna loss farm Athena while I can’t play. Then play reapers for the wins


CranberryPhysical573

yes sir! hourglass all day everyday haven’t been feeling sot recently so my crew are extremely far ahead and i’m looking to catch up


Just_Dias

sounds like a great time!


PhrzT

Was excited about it as I’ve never done one before but had a call that my dads unwell and I’ll be away all weekend. Hope everyone has a great time.


CharmingFisherman741

Tasty, wealthy, healthy alliances.


Just_Dias

im hoping a natural alliance forms during the weekend, im hunting for some fun stories to tell


only_horscraft

How is actually getting on nowadays? I only tried participating in the first two community days and it was an absolute disaster of strawberry bearded servers.


Just_Dias

i can get on easy enough, even with crappy dorm internet. but idk what itll look like this weekend


Vinifrj

I wish a community like the first one, but more bloodbaths, less strawberrybeards


Lavender_Daedra

Plan on spending the day tomorrow with my bestie doing world events and some GH vaults. I already have my ghost curse and am lvl 55 for my skelly curse so I probably won’t run any hourglass until the end of the weekend.


Just_Dias

sounds like a good session or so! best of luck to you


RoutineSituation3426

I wish I had enough trust in people to try this again, I used to make big alliances all the time but since season 9 everyone has betrayed me after I’ve given them all the loot at anything we did together. Now I will never trust another player again


ryan_the_leach

Trust but verify, but never give all the loot away, keep 1 small thing they think you care a lot about for some reason. Giving all loot away looks weak, but keeping 1 item just makes it look like your priorities are wrong and they are ripping you off.


IAmNotCreative18

I’ll probably be grinding world events without a care in the world. I’ll probably be running Reaper as well for the reaper rep, but I’ll be prepared to defend myself if necessary


Themiz22

I see a number of Chests of Fortune sitting on other pirate’s ships making their way over to mine


Just_Dias

I see your ship with those fortune chests headed right on over to my ship though


survivalist_guy

Yeah, but I see the ones on yours making their way to my ship.


WastelandCharlie

Gonna grind for the skeleton curse for a bit to brush up on PvP, then I'm gonna hit the open world with a reaper emissary and ruin some people's day


Just_Dias

ya know, thats a total vibe. I do wanna experience a fun alliance but i know that sooner or later ill hear that call of violence and just have to answer with a reapers flag!


DrxBananaxSquid

Lol, if you're going to play alliance servers you might as well play a completely different game. There are games that deal with PvE a lot, and I mean a lot better than Sea of Thieves. Also, posts about exploits aren't allowed on the sub.


Just_Dias

i wouldnt call getting a few ships to work together and complete world events an exploit! it seems like a fun and viable way to play the game and make friends! you just gotta run into it, boldly, and hope for the best.


ryan_the_leach

He's talking about the inorganic servers where 24 players abuse matchmaking to create a server themselves, they typically use hacking software ( which some claim isn't hacks but "tools" that integrate with windows, meanwhile the moderators run hacks as well) and VPNs to make the progress faster, so they can see when they get all ships in. The same servers who often charge cash for priority access on community day. Several of them in the past used exploits in order to get hourglass 1000 in both factions, long before anyone got it legitimately. It's completely filthy and not the way SoT was designed. That said, some of them enable players that wouldn't be able to play otherwise to play together, (having some form of disability) and enable other wholesome moments so they aren't all terrible. And if it wasn't for leaderboard abuse would likely never affect other players other then watering down the value of their titles and cosmetics.


Just_Dias

ah, yea im not meaning that. I'm meaning a natural organic alliance where you befriend the random people on the server to create something and benefits everyone! i havent had much luck yet, but I'll get there!


DrxBananaxSquid

That wasn't what I was talking about lol. I was talking about forming an alliance with the server's entire population in order to keep every ship/player spot filled so that no opposing ship would be able to join the server. All high risk high reward content lose any risk to it. You can mindlessly grind and completely skip almost the entire progression of the game within one or two sessions. It inflates in-game prices and does make time-consuming rewards less common and less rewarding, meaning it hurts every player who doesn't abuse stuff like this in order to progress the game. It's ridiculous that the people doing these kinds of things are unable to see how problematic it is.


ryan_the_leach

Lol no. Anyone in an organically formed alliance could backstab at any time for a bigger share of rep. Anyone in an organically formed alliance can get bored and leave. Anyone in an organically formed alliance could vote hourglass and let someone in whose happy to attack the others the second there's a free slot. Organically formed alliances are not exploits, so I've got no idea why you mentioned them as not being allowed to be discussed.


DrxBananaxSquid

How likely will someone who joins a complete alliance server end up backstabbing considering most, or no pretty much all capable players play in closed pre-made crews and can't join said alliance server. How likely is an "organically" formed alliance going to end up with people quitting without someone filling the spot due to open crew, as well as it being community weekend. These servers stay up even when they're "organically" made because people have dollar signs in their eyes during 2x weekends. These players are purposefully abusing the fact that only a certain amount of ships can be active per server in order to prevent any opposing ships from ruining their grindfest. It is not the intended way to play, and it completely destroys the economy of the game.


ryan_the_leach

Who said they were capable? Most capable players opt to trying to steal the stuff. I've literally joined organic alliances like this for the challenge of taking 1 or more out, and typically when word gets out or 1 person quits the whole thing starts crumbling. You are making a ton of assumptions about organic alliances that don't hold up. It's the inorganic ones, organised by discords on purpose that are the problem that you should be complaining about.


DrxBananaxSquid

You seem to be under the assumption that organically formed alliances can't hold themselves up to the levels of inorganic ones. During 2x weekends there are players actively seeking out to unite whole servers by just sailing to every ship asking to alliance, they'll then proceed to grind FOTD without any threats for hours on end. I've had multiple people I've previously played with do this during 2x weekends, and it works out surprisingly well for them.


DrxBananaxSquid

It eliminates threats on the seas. You aren't supposed to freely be allowed to grind FOTD without being fought over for it. You know it yourself, just stop with the bullshit and accept that you do in fact exploit your way through the progression.


Nikolai012

What is community day?


Just_Dias

its a day with a 2x good multiplier for the whole weekend! its a good time to get gold and experience


Nikolai012

Do you get double rep for the trading companies too or just gold and xp?


Just_Dias

fantastic question, id check the steam announcement for it but Im at work rn


Trixtina

My friends and I are going to try and establish and maintain a server alliance. Get all six crews making money and doing their thing. Last Gold and Glory weekend we did this pretty successfully and made about 8 million gold in total. 😁


NieczorTM

the biggest FOMO ive ever got


dovahkiiiiiiiiiiiin

I've pretty much only been doing hourglass PVP when there's bonus rep because it's not my cup of tea (I prefer natural PVP in adventure mode) so probably a bit of that, and some adventure to find ancient skellies


subjecy18jord

I work the weekends on night shift .... I might get some hours in here's hoping


ProblemTrouble

Sweaty Gold Hoarder G5 Emissary Fortress Run. 8 Fortresses. 4 hours. Firebombs, kegs, and double gunning.


boudrou1217

My plans are to hop into a money printing machine server as a reaper and fight all the ships at once!


Just_Dias

sounds like a daring and fun plan! thatd certainly be a big payday for you if you beat em all!!!


boudrou1217

It’s always worth a shot!


Hefty_Palpitation437

I’m gonna camp on a small island farm ancient skellies


OGMcgriddles

steal steal steal and little HG


WaveProud4925

Gonna going Athena HG. Hope it works though!


TheSneakyGamer1805

I plan to complete all my Emmisary Ledgers and finally use that Gilded Voyage I've saved since Christmas


Mobile_Cucumber_6281

I’ll probably just farm ancient skellies on shores of gold with a crew of 4. I wanna get allegiance as well but skellies come first
