      I dont know what you are trying to say for a generalization, but it seems uneducated. Almost every NAL player would be considered "sweaty" and they have assigned roles like bilge, helm, boarder, cannon 1 and 2, and more. It seems like you just want to insult tdmers you have encountered in arena, who choose not to naval (at least while tdming)

  • @Craft2299
    @Craft2299 Před 3 lety +29

    That last tip is really valuable to master, it can depend on speed, angle etc, especially for a galleon crew. If one is on the harpoon, and the rest on the cannon ball, I have many times gotten them to sink through cannonfire alone. It is actually glorious if you can catch them in what I call a vortex. It is hard to describe, but as you (a galleon) passes the enemy (Galleon), harpooning their front side and locking will put both ships in a Pirates of the caribean 3 whirlpool of a vortex. The enemy usually does not expect this, and so aiming at the cannons first is always recommended and then hail fire on lower decks. You will be putting enough holes for the water to fill faster than they can handle.
    So yeah, mastering the meneuvers of the harpooning of other ships is super good.

    @WusterWasti Před 3 lety +3

    Kegs are high risk high reward options. They saved us many times because we stacked them up and had multiply tries to sneak on board while being chased across the sea. Storing them on your crowsnest isnt so damaging either, sure your mast falls down but you can repair and there is only some fire on the deck.
    BUT if someone knows what they are doing and board you they can use the kegs against you, so kegs are more a tool for a surprise attack or a last effort option when the enemy has outnumbered you but i would never say, dont use them ever.

It help player base to understand sea of thieves is a over cooked type game after all. Every action who can make u save even just a second can make a huge difference. My big issue is my aim. I even train every day kovaaks for fix that. I even down my sensitivity to 36cm/360. But still I miss some shoots. I have a trouble anticipating the latency and the velocity of the gun shoot. (To make it harder hitreg are off)
    Also as I'm a father since 2 years I have lost a lot of playable time, rebuking me to do friend on discord. (Also because I'm in a so small house I cant talk because I would wake up my kid) I have noticed than even I train in arena regularly. The fact to don't be friend to anyone have gives me a disavantage about knowledge and pvp tips. (The double gun glitch combo, the fast reload by switching or empty hand and detain the gun again like thee digging)... This kind of glitches. And not having a discord make it hard to plan good none toxic tdm. Where every body just assume it's skills to chose double gun and force other player to double gun as well even if they more talented about sword. ( Who also need skill as well) example your dodge out ladder are a stupid usefull tip I should have figure out by myself with my knowledge. But I never thought about it and your video told me it thanks. If you can give some advanced tip video about double gun, tdm, what ever tip I might not know as many not regular players, I would appreciate ! :)

    Good tips:
    1. Use a brigantine. It's the best.
    2. Raise the front sail in naval combat. This allows the helmsman (driver) to control the ship using the back sail only and without help, allowing your team to stay on cannons.
    3. If your steering and the cannons are occupied, snipe the opposing cannon shooter.
    4. If aboard the enemy's ship, before it sinks, use their armory to switch to sniper and pistol. This is best in the water for fighting any back spawns.

      Brigs arguably sink the fastest. They can't match up against experienced 2-man Sloop crews. Plus, the Sloop wins against Brigs in every ship stat except an extra cannon and crew member. In fact, it's well known that those Sloops flying Reaper's are the worst to fight against, the bigger your ship is.

    you can actually use fire bombs to create panic or like he said, blow up any kegs on board. but when i mean create panic, i mean to make the opposing crew focus on putting out the fire instead of shooting, steering, or repairing.
