Toxic Players Everywhere.

I can see why you are bothered by this. But come on? This is not happening all the time! This is just a case of bad luck and I don't see why this is toxic. Toxic people are the ones who kill you over and over again and laugh at you over voice... call you names... the whole time until you decide to leave because of them.

I'm wondering about the kegs they exploded. were they yours? If so: DON'T PUT EXPLOSIVE BARRELS ON YOUR SHIP WHEN YOU'RE SOLOING! (lesson 1)
Lesson 2: Never put kegs on your ship, unless it's an ancient or stronghold one. The other ones don't matter and will only bring you despair (like you just told us). And turn in the big kegs as fast as possible... People will shoot them if they see them and you WILL die.

Who knows, at some point, Rare will add a PvE server where you can solo around the world getting bored as hell, because there's no danger around.

Another lesson for you, don’t raise the emissary flag (of ANY faction) and expect to be left alone in peace. You are literally opting in to enhanced PvP by being hunted for said flag. The flag also indicates to anyone who sees it just how much loot might be onboard.

did you encounter them in earlier part of your session?, pretty weird for them to just ditch the loot without reason, i know that I wouldn’t ditch the loot since that sound like an good haul to steal.

Toxic players is not everywhere as the sea is far to large for them to be an common problem and you will know for sure if you met an real one

Not all pirate are who You think are what pirate do in the sea of thieves is stealing, killing , sinking ship for thrills of the fights and do voyages and helping others Which is bit rare

Obviously those pirates are bit tad Toxic for not even taking the loot lol unless you did something which they didn’t like at all, I hope you managed to get back and save your loot in time if not i sorry to hear that but I suggest to try to be more caution like sail around the island first to look for mermaids

Captain Butterfingers

@xsh0tinthedarkx The PvP only mode you mention you can not do any type of faction work in so really a moot point.

What happened to you was rather craptastic for sure and you will come across people like this in any online game. What happened though was just a unlucky circumstance, surely not a reason to demand developers change the game for you. I mean, how many times has this happened to you?

Also you said you checked the island thoroughly, you didnt notice any mermaids or a rowboat? Check better next time and if you have stuff on your ship you do not want to risk losing then do not go to an island with pirates on it. Just sail away and come back in abit. Was this an outpost?

Just other day lost a reaper 5 flag, not really a big deal could careless about flags. The brig caught our galleon at a time it was just 2 of us not afk. Galleon is not the most friendly ship to duo ship fight on. Things happen, oh well, its just a game. I still had a good time. We did end up getting our treasure back though after meeting them at an outpost once we were regrouped. We wernt even going back for the treasure just for the fun but happened to get treasure back in the process.

GTA passive mode? If you play GTAO I am sure you know passive mode has been abused by griefers since day one and it the source of glitches that are used to troll people. No, we do not need that in this game.

Also you were an emissary so if you dont want PvP so badly then dont be an emissary.

Its mind boggling when people can't connect some dots. You were safe for a 2.5 hour window, and you never thought about cashign out during that? You became an Emissary, do you not know what that entails? I mean, that is the whole reason why you are getting a multiplier, you get a bonus for being targetted. Why are you surprised you got attacked?

Stealing loot in a game that allows stealing loot isn't toxic, that is just playing the game. Leave the salt in the ocean and read the game description. Your buyers remorse is annoying, game plays exactly as described.

This is how the term toxic gets overused and becomes essentially meaningless. None of what you described was actually 'toxic'.

sinking someone to not steal the loot is for me toxic.

i know some people like pvp but it should be for something.

and there is no kill count or k/d ratio to be found

so sinking someone's hard work for the only reason to troll them is for me toxic term well used.

I pvp for fun. I dont need the loot, I just want the fight. Still not toxic.

@xsh0tinthedarkx Next time be the guy with the barrel it is way better. XD

@xsh0tinthedarkx

Euhm...

• Killing you is not toxic
• Blowing up your ship is not toxic
  Sounds like they didn't say a word, were at the end of their session and saw you approach, so decided to have a little bit of fun.

• If you would have checked thoroughly, you would have noticed the mermaid or rowboat.

• If you saw them quit the game with your scope, you should have been able to recover most of the spoils... quite nice of them to let you have it no? Unless they sold it, which means they were good thieves?

Another uninspired complaint about someone's inability to accept a loss, with an uninspired request and completely ignoring the clear difference between Arena and Adventure mode (no similar factions, no shared rewards)... yet you want your mode to reward you with those. That isn't how that can work, there is a reason you cannot become a legend by Arena alone.

@a-thieve-of-sea said in Toxic Players Everywhere.:

@captain-coel

thats your opinion

Yes and a valid one at that.

my opinion is that you wreck someone else his hard work for your fun thats is sadistic of you.

Yet the goal of thievery is to take away things from other people, most people don't like it when you take their stuff. Winning means someone else lost. Losing isn't fun, so anyone that wins at anything... so athletes are all sadistic as they like to win matches?

This is a game, you win some, you lose some... nothing to do with toxic or sadistic behavior.

and toxic for the community as an whole.
but you dont care about that.

you can tell yourself what you are
probally a really nice fellow in the real world
but for some people you are just an a..hole

If people cannot handle a loss, then they will consider me the bad guy, frankly not my concern. We are playing a game in which I am free to engage with you in that game, if you don't like my actions you have the freedom to stop me or to avoid me. You don't have to like me, but if you don't want to play in a multiplayer environment you shouldn't play an online game.

and dont call yourself a pirate because your nothing else than a thief on a boat.

Yet isn't that what the seas are about: Sea of Thieves, kind of explains why the Thieves rule them? If you want to not be a thief, maybe these are the wrong seas for you?

pirates had codes and just one life you have neither.

My pirate has a code, my pirate lives by that code and yet she steals, plunders and kills all she wants.

This is a game without a hardcore mode, so of course we don't have a single life. Neither do you... it is a fantasy not reality.

pvp is a cool aspect of the game but its just a part.
if you wanna fight people so much go to the arena.
their are like minded people like you

What is wrong with engaging in the PvP part of the game in the Adventure mode while also doing other aspects of the game. People assume that people that steal, plunder and fight solely do that, which is a wrong assumption. I for one will sail to nearly any ship that I see on the horizon, be it as a solo or a crew and engage in battle. Yet I also do PvE...

Arena is nothing like adventure mode, it is a 5v5 free for all...

but probally they are to good for you to handle
thats why you have to prey on the weak and unprepared.

Funny, I get attacked all the time and I am never weak or unprepared... sounds a lot like a you problem not a me problem. Most of us prey on anyone, the strong, the weak, the mediocre and frankly don't make any distinction between our targets.

because you like to feel like a giant between the dwarfs.

Then learn to become a giant, you choose to remain a dwarf... btw dwarves are a strong race, not sure why you are bashing on them.

Just going to keep this blunt. If you're scared to pvp and don't want that true pirate aspect of the game, join an alliance server. Literally every single person I've ever played with that's tried an alliance server say they are extremely boring and then never go back to them. Imagine a kid floating plastic boats around a bathtub. Now imagine you are one of those boring little boats just floating around staring at each other. That's exactly what pve/alliance servers are.

Now imagine trying to do Flameheart, FOTD, Ashen Lord, normal Forts, Skelly Fleets, Ghost Fleets etc. with 5 player ships sitting around that you can't kill off because it's pve. You finish the event and everyone just comes in and starts harpooning all your loot out of the water and you can't kill or sink them and they go sell it. Now you get no rep or loot from the events. I'm sure you don't want to be that boring little boat wasting time while invincible players and ships steal your loot because then you'd be crying that we need to be able to kill player ships because they're stealing your loot anyways lol.

Looks like this game is not for you.

Next!!!

You have achievements for becoming a Reaper Emissary, selling a stolen captain's chest, killing an opponent with a blunderbuss, sunk another crew's ship and getting into a sword fight with another player. By your logic, you're also a sadistic, toxic person who doesn't care about others. Funny that.

if you wanna fight people so much go to the arena.

Arena does not allow you to experience the whole adventure. Sinking other players and stealing is part of adventure.

And the funniest part about this is... person has 1 bad experience (or had some more... what ever).... spits it out on the forums to never return to check the post again...

@a-thieve-of-sea and you are wrong, I choose to play the whole of the SoT. I enjoy pvp and pve. I just dont pretend that there is only one or the other. My play style is encouraged by Rare, almost like it was intended.

But im not being toxic or sadistic as you like to call me, I'm being a pirate.

See you on the seas

You are welcome to your opinion, even if it is wrong. There are no rules specifying that treasure must be on board before sinking, and many times someone will have no idea if there is treasure on board until the opponent is sunk. There is nothing wrong with people PvPing just for the kicks, as long as they are good sports about it and not actually toxic.

I have gone after certain ships not because they might have had treasure but for revenge for a wrong they had committed upon the seas. I could have cared less whether they had treasure but was only concerned with attacking them to get back at them. So was I toxic for seeking revenge for the wrongs the other crew committed against my ship? Was I toxic for disrupting "their fun" when they in fact started the whole thing by trying to force my ship into their alliance and do what they wanted? Not everything is black and white.

@a-thieve-of-sea said in Toxic Players Everywhere.:

open up a book over pirates and dont think this game is a real resemblence of that era

and im not complaying about the pvp vs pve expierence.
i called a player toxic because he sank someone for the sake of sinking it.
and leave the loot to sink to the bottom.

thats not what a pirate would have done.

i know how the game works if reaperd myself
and understand the pvp aspect of it.
but i should be for something.

again something a pirate wouldn,t do
doing something for nothing.

i got sunk many times
lost a lot of loot
but made even friends that way
and say gg afterwards

i got chased over the map for hours to later hear gg after giving up.

but there are also players with no remorse no code or honor at all.

they dont deserve the name of a pirate

these pirate's would have hanged outside the tavern as an example.

Pirates didnt kill talking skeletons and sell their skulls either. This game has a pirate theme but it is NOT historically accurate

@a-thieve-of-sea his name has thieve in his gamer tag how ironic he's asking for pve

@a-thieve-of-sea said in Toxic Players Everywhere.:

Perhaps you should look further into history instead of relying on romanticized renditions of the period. Many pirates were in fact marauders and could care less about treasure. Furthermore this game is NOT based on history but rather inspired by the era.

this game is called sea of thieves and not sea of pirates

Look up the definition of a pirate - it is literally a thief upon the seas.

and im not complaying about the pvp vs pve expierence.

Sure seems that way.

i called a player toxic because he sank someone for the sake of sinking it.
and leave the loot to sink to the bottom.

thats not what a pirate would have done.

And again there is NOTHING wrong with that. Some people play for the action and glory, others play for the loot. As Rare says: "Tools not rules." There is absolutely no rule stating there must be treasure on a ship before it is attacked, or even that a player is required to claim any treasure from a sank ship.

i know how the game works if reaperd myself
and understand the pvp aspect of it.
but i should be for something.

Why? Isn't the thrill of battle enough?

again something a pirate wouldn,t do
doing something for nothing.

Just because they don't play by YOUR self imposed rules doesn't mean they are playing the game wrong, they are just playing it differently. It is perfectly fine if someone decides to play as a scourge of the sea "without honor", they do not have to conform to your rules and are welcome to play as they please...as long as they are good sports about it, not abusive and not TRULY toxic. And it is in the end JUST A GAME.

these pirate's would have hanged outside the tavern as an example.

You mean like actual pirates were during the golden age, such as Blackbeard? You aren't helping your argument.

I just played on a pc/Xbox server for 8 hours. Lone sloop with two reapers chests and held grade 5 GH.
Not a single encounter of players wanting to attack or grief. Everyone doing own thing.

By far I never once encounter toxic players, so these posts alone always interest me because....I wanna know where and when you meet them.
How are others unlucky?

@burnbacon Because most of these people have no idea what an actual toxic player is.

I dont sink ships for nothing, i do it for fun. Its almost as if taking my solo sloop in against other boats is worth the challenge and adrenaline.
