Players camping check points keeping others from progressing the story. This is why I stopped playing for over a year the Grief needs to stop I can't even enjoy the game. I have currently backed out literally 5 times today because of this each time players camp the check points and block you from completing the story. This is garbage and you guys need to fix it. Stories should be free from pvp, life events and voyages have at it but tall tales need to be exempt from pvp.
Grief the tall tale.
@socom3988 Sorry but the developers approve and enforce this behaviour.
I was just trying to do the new tall tales myself, and the Kraken spawned right on top of the checkpoint.
Honestly at that point, we simply scuttled the ship and left the game for the day, is not fun whasoever to play like this.

first off, pvp isnt griefing
this is what happened when there is really no update to adventure mode events. pvp players find targets, all we got is hunting tall tales ships. sorry but that's how we play, we sink ships.
Wow. That is some weak sauce.
The fact that you want to pvp isn't the problem. It's that you want to ruin people's fun, then pass it off that YOU didn't personally get something fun out of the update so you need to ruin it for everyone else?
So cool...
@pithyrumble and that's after so many PvPers were already saying "the update isn't only PvE!"
Like c'mon, can't you all make up your minds and at least be consistent with it all? 🤣
Either instancing is selective to the tale or they messed up and we're getting a patch in a couple of days. I don't care which tbh. I slammed thru the first 9 before the checkpoints. Just change servers.
I have some tactical ideas about the use of the checkpoints tho. PVP may end up hating this update too. Oh hey....instant rocks near this Outpost... watch that approach. (could work for victims and chasers unf...)
Just make it all instanced imo and that's coming from someone very against pve servers
First tale was great for what a lot of people are looking for. Let people enjoy them all like the first one can be enjoyed. People aren't gonna sit in there forever it doesn't bother me that people can have a few days or weeks doing their own thing without seeing others. Worked fine for the first it's not like people aren't gonna get bored of it eventually and come right on back to the fun zone
Typically I'm fine with 4 player max but I wish there was something to double that for these specific tall tales. In this instance it would have been awesome to bring in more buddies for these tales even if crowded it's just an awesome experience for friends that aren't into the intensity.

What does the kraken spawning have to do with encountering other players during tall tales? And why scuttle. You said you were playing alone (“trying to do the new tall tales myself”). The kraken is easy to kill on a sloop. Just kill the thing and get on with it. Takes about a minute to kill.
Karen may have been tweaked for TT solos.
Haven't Karen'd in a while sooooooooooooo..........

Read OP's post. Being killed repeatedly at a checkpoint that you and another crew share is definitely griefing. There is no sport in it, it's harassment. This happened to me earlier today in the Sunken Pearl TT and it's just bad design.
If your idea of PvP is killing someone repeatedly so they can't progress in a Tall Tale I feel sorry for you.

shrug. I sink ships, whether u have loot, tall tale, or just sailing around ur still a target. I don't write people's names down so Im not sure who I sink multiple times. I just attack every ship equally. yarr.

There's a huge difference between myself and by myself, Kraken is a pure waste of time with no reward whasoever.
Is not the first time we arrive on the server, leave outpost and the Kraken instantly spawns on us, even though we have no loot whasoever and just started.
That is not fun whasoever, simply frustrating, if was a Skeleton Ship and/or Meg, would be an entirely different story (just due to the simply fact they actually provide rewards, something the Kraken doesn't do).
Adding insult to injury, we didn't even care about world events at the time, just wanted to do the Tall Tale, something not even the developers let us with their Kraken nonsense.

So one person dictating for all of us?
You do realize that your reply holds no water right?
PvPers are still on the same mind that this update dont hurt PvP, not everyone will think exactly the same but the vast majority of us have no problem with it.
We were and still are consistantPeople act like so far with 11 Tall Tales we could have never complete them.
Babies, absolutely babies.Im not talking about how buggy the second Tall Tale it is but as a matter of a fact weve done the other tall tales in the shared world and lived to tell the story.
In most cases it was fine and smooth and sometimes weve got attacked, so? enough with this! So much drama over nothing.
I support the idea of giving a try to something more personal but Sea of Thieves is a shard world!
So we have both, calm down.@treefittymonsta I love your type always bringing me free loot. Don't have to hunt for it when you guys bring it straight to me. :D Name seems familiar I think you were the one we Dumpstered last night when doing the new tales anyway thanks for the loot! xD

Each tentacle drops treasure and monster meat when you destroy them.

Don’t leave the outpost unless you see another server event in the sky. Loot and time on the server has nothing to do with it. The kraken only spawns between other server events and randomly picks one ship in open water to attack. Stay at the outpost until you see a server event. Or just kill the thing since it is so easy to kill.
That is not fun whasoever, simply frustrating, if was a Skeleton Ship and/or Meg, would be an entirely different story (just due to the simply fact they actually provide rewards, something the Kraken doesn't do).
The kraken also provides rewards (see above). Back when it was first introduced to the game there was no reward. That was changed years ago.

Lol! Your pic of 51 krakens killed means very little here. You have demonstrated several misconceptions about the kraken. We have a lot of new players joining who may read your posts and come away with bad information.
Now we probably need to get back to the thread’s actual topic.
EDIT: They responded below, but this is not on topic so I am not going to respond further. I have confidence that anyone with a decent understanding of the game will see what is occurring here. Just trying to stop bad information and superstition from propagating.

nope I didn't sink last night. and I never have loot on my ship unless it's an Athena, flamehart skull or a chest of tributes. we let all other loot sink.
If it was me. glad to sink to a sweaty crew like me. luv the challenge. GGs. I don't get triggered by sinking, I try to figure out how a crew bested me. I never elude to being the best, nor do I degrade the people I sink. I don't dumpster people, I have intense engagements ending with GGs for all. happy hunting.
@socom3988 Rare were a little economic with the truth. They made it seem that all new tall tales would be a private affair for your crew. I got to the start point of tall tale 2 only to find 2 brigs and 2 sloops already there. It was chaos.
@treefittymonsta said in Grief the tall tale.:
@ranel003 said in Grief the tall tale.: I don't dumpster people, I have intense engagements ending with GGs for all. happy hunting.
Yet because of a "lack" of content, you claim your only target rn are tall talers, and that you only sink to sink, letting treasure despawn? That doesn't sound like GG's for everyone. That sounds like you purposefully attempting to make more PvE centric pirates have a worse experience, because you aren't happy with the current state of PvP. Don't get me wrong, PvP needs more attention, but I'd argue you're going about it in a negative way. If you truly are just hunting Tall Talers, then You most definately aren't having intense engagements.
@beatyourownmeat I sink everyone. tall tales emmisaries, people sailing around, etc. I never know what they're really doing because I mainly naval combat only. board occasionally.
turning loot is a chore. so I usually let it sink. except for some choice items. shrug
I just play the game to pvp, I've had great fights, I've had fast sinks, then I move onto the next target.

This is disingenuous. I've sunk ships before. You don't need to write player's names down to know what the ship looks like and what cosmetics it is flying. It's rare (i.e. never) I come across multiple crews using the exact same ship cosmetics.

I disagree. I usually pirate after a few drinks.. so I have a hard time identifying a crew I've already met in combat previously. I just shoot cannonballs and shots at anything that moves. if u don't leave my server. that's on u.

You are still being disingenuous. I've also pirated after a few drinks. It's easy to identify a crew you've sunk before. You want to be toxic, be toxic, but own your toxicity. Stop acting like other players are responsible for your lack of self-worth.
@ghostpaw Each tentacle drops treasure and monster meat when you destroy them.
At this point is clear you are trolling, if you call that treasure I don't know what you been doing after all this years.
Not only that but is extremely tedious to look around where you killed each and every tentacle, but even if you would, the rewards you get are ridiculous.
The kraken meat is useless unless you looking for the Hunter's Call commendations.
You get the triple the rewards from any other event in the world, so no, killing the Kraken is a waste of time and resources.
I sure as hell ain't wasting time right after I spawned looking at the wall, just cause there's risk of the Kraken appearing, scuttle if Kraken appears and move on.
Plus after all this time if you lack the basic knowledge that having loot actually increases your chances of triggering an event (skells, meg and/or kraken) I again don't know what you been doing at the game.

So basically you like to waste everyone's time... If I see a ship that has loot or a flag to turn in I'm gonna sink them and take it otherwise theres no gain just wasting each others time. I like PvP just fine but if theres no gain it's pointless and boring. I do dumpster people especially ones who attack just to attack and waste my time. If they keep coming back well I make sure they don't have any fun. :)
@treefittymonsta please tell me that you're at least flying the Reaper's emissary so that you get the progress and rewards? I'd understand how so one could get bored with the game when they interact with very little of the content that the developers have added over the years. If you simply spawn in, hop on your boat and sail immediately looking for a fight, I have to say you're missing out on a lot of content, as well as contributing to the many complaints about PvP. I've got nothing against someone sinking me with a Reapers flag or going after my captains chest, but to just sink to sink screams toxic to me. I'd argue you're not really playing the game at that point, just trolling. That's just my opinion though. You do you boo
@ranel003 all games are a waste of time, that's the beauty of them.
@beatyourownmeat nope I run merchant to keep the server nice and stocked. running reapers just leads to dead servers.
I've done all the pve content at least once, after that I pvp. and I'm not bored at all. I've sunk ships constantly for an eight hour stretch one time. it was a blast, ran into sweatiest like me and easy sinks. I sunk a few times too. but it was fun fun.
@sudsierboar5526 said in Grief the tall tale.:
@beatyourownmeat
If he wants to "roleplay" a ship thats sinks others on sight that fits perfectly within the sandbox gameplay.
exactly. yarr. I make sure all ships lose buoyancy. if u press that set sail button, be ready to fight.
@sudsierboar5526 not arguing that, just seems unmotivating to me if you're not getting anything in return for sinking ships. However, if it's enjoyable for someone else, I'm not gonna police the "correct" playstyle.
I'm not planning on doing the new Tall Tales for a while (let them get tested and work out the bugs). So can anyone tell me where on the map the 2and Tall Tale occurs where people are being camped? I would be happy to sail by while I'm digging up treasure and sink some griefers.
