How did they do it bros

It's the way that the pve and pvp interacts with eachother. If you sail about and gather loot. the amount of stuff you risk gradually increases until you sell your loot. This means that the player always experiences rising and falling tension, even if no pvp encounter actually happens.

Just glad it's finally coming to steam, fuck windows store

I heard loot doesn't really mean a thing in this game? Just something to fight over during pvp

you use it to buy cosmetics

So nothing then.

why is this game so comfy, bros?

cosmetics are the only unlockable thing in this game so also the only reason why you would want to do pve
so yeah, if you don't care about cosmetics, there's no reason to do pve unless you do it just for the fun factor with your bros
you do have bros, do you user?

Remember mates, it's not about the gold, it's about the glory.

You get reputation for selling to get toward pirate legend and some cosmetics are gated by achievements, it's never some huge loss if you get sunk though

Just ride the waves bro

interacting with 10y/o brown esl kids with hot mics simulator

That's inevitable on xbox, great hearing them screech at their crew in 4 different languages though

is this worth looking into when it comes on steam if I have no friends to play it with?
Looks like the kinda shit where you need to have people you know in your boat n that

A worthless poster.

Be a stowaway and scare people.
You will feel powerful.

I don't know if it will work on the Steam version but the Xbox Companion App for PC has a good built in LFG tool, and there is always the official Discord server.

Aaaaaand threads ruined

playing solo is viable but you'll miss out on lots of the charm the game has to offer that way
you can play with randoms aswell but that just isn't the same as playing with real friends
so unless you like the idea of just sailing solo and exploring islands and looting treasures and stuff like that (or even pvp if you're skilled enough), i wouldn't say it's worth it

Yes, you are.

How are you supposed to fight the kraken? My friend and I got attacked by one in the sloop and it fucked us hard

We have a small group, it's hard to keep a thread up on /vg/ because of the time investment a play session usually takes

Just keep shooting it. If the tentacles grabs your ship one person will have to do nothing but repair and bail. It's going to be shitty.

just focus shooting your cannons on one tentacle at a time untill you kill it, then go to the next one

The main probablem was pretty soon after appearing it grabbed me so then my friend was on his own for a while. Once you're grabbed is there anything you can do or does someone else have to cannon you free

Aside from what other anons said, if you have 2 keep one person below deck in case the cannon player gets the succ. You can sword when it has you grabbed but unless you kill it you just have to wait to get dunked

You can do damage to it while you are grabbed, with a lucky gun shot or by swinging your sword madly at it. A few hits and it will drop you, though if you're really unlucky it will throw you half a mile away.

what game

Sounds neat, are there quests or is it like a sandbox?

There are guilds to do voyages for, such as delivering cargo or hunting down a skeleton captain. There are also Tall Tales which are more story driven adventures, some of the later ones are really involved and pretty cool.

>start a session with a galleon
>2 people are looting the starting island for some ship supplies
>other dude is fishing for some food
>me as designated captain for the session is planning out our route on the map where we should go
>set sail
>crewmates managing the sails, scouting in the crow's nest, etc
>hear the sound of another dude cooking his freshly caught fish downstairs
>ride the waves of these crystal blue waters, going from tropical island to tropical island
this game is the ultimate comfy experience

Half and half, there's an overarching storyline with tall tales but you can do anything you want and you'll eventually get to legend

Can this game be played without friends/crew/nakama? It looks comfy as hell but I really don't like talking to people or having to set up play schedules.

Both. There is several roles to play based on the faction you work for (merchants, treasure hunters, skeleton hunters) and then there are the tall tales that are like story quests that tease out the lore of the game and greater narratives.
