Is there any reason that players from a bigger ship instantly want to sink a sloop when they see them?
Im starting to hate the game community.
For example in the 4 day that I play the game and was on plenty of server I only manage to find one frendly pirate. Why is this?
And please do something about the lag that happens when you fight with soneone that play on a pc.
Thanks!!!
The game is unplayable if u choose a solo or duo sloop. 😠
@lordzorddan My entire time, minus 2 hours of it of my 18 hour playtime was on a solo sloop or a duo sloop. We encountered 2 galleons that showed interest in sinking us, but could not catch/maneuver to do so and the other sloops we encountered, we sank or ran off. So, it's not impossible, it's just harder. As to why galleons target you? Because you go down easier than an enemy galleon would and most people doing faction missions are on a sloop for speed/agility.
@lordzorddan the sloop is the king of the sea.
Speed and maneuverabilty win. You just need to stop trying to
Broadside a galleon.2 people on a sloop
Can win@thewolfman321 Its not the shipfight [Mod edited]! Galleons just sink parking ships because they are "easy targets".
@lordzorddan no need to call people names dude. I was joking about. And that would make you the idiot then? As a galleon could do that to another parked galleon too, so not exclusively solo and duo, so what exactly is your point?
@lordzorddan I find it kinda funny that I see people who play on the sloop who complain about galleons and people on galleons who complain about sloops. Clearly shows both are balanced.
Honestly it comes down to skill and awareness. I have NO problem playing solo or duo sloop. In fact I have sunk tonnes of galleons in a duo sloop and have sunk a few in solo (I tend to avoid other ships when I am solo and have treasure)
As for the shoot on sight mentality it is a pirate game and there is always that edge that someone will steal from you which makes the game fun. I will sink a sloop if they are at the island I need to go to for my voyage. I'm not taking the risk of them stealing my stuff while I'm trying to find a x marks the spot.
@lordzorddan then the parking ships should open their eyes go scout on top of their crows nests to alarm for incoming ships its not the fault of the galleon.
@mri1ama ive not been sinking people that are at the island I need to go to try and make friends with the people and a lot of the time they dont attack because they will have stuff to lose just like me

Its a pirate game, pirates sink ships
@lordzorddan I would hardly say duo on a sloop is “unplayable” me and my buddies go duo whenever our other friends aren’t online and we’ve literally never been sunk. We have sunk our fair share of galleons and sloops alike. Taking on the skeleton forts takes longer but it’s not impossible. It just boils down to how well you understand the mechanics of the game and how well you can implement them to your advantage. We normally don’t go around provoking others while in sloop but aren’t afraid to defend what’s ours, and not gonna lie sometimes we find galleons and sink them just to show them we can hold our own and not to mess with us while they are on the server. (Our ship is customized with admiral hull and sea dog sails so they know not to come at us again) doesn’t always work the first time though we had to sink one galleon twice before they got the picture.

Thanks!!!I have never had an issue playing Solo or Duo sloop, even if a Galleon attacks me. I have encountered a lot of hostile players while Slooping and chances are if I can't outrun them then you have to outplay them, set your ship straight and jump off the back of the sloop, you can easily board their ship and anchor them to give yourself a bit of a headstart. Better yet, you could also kill a couple of them using the blunderbuss in the process. The problem lies within yourself either assuming people are going to be friendly or you are not being attentive to the surrounding waters. This is a game called "Sea of Thieves", we are PIRATES, you will always run the risk of getting attacked and to prevent that either learn some tactics or get better at combat.

Thanks!!!You actively sailed up to other ships to ask them if they were friendly?
I think that most of the game play is balanced in sloop vs galleon combat however there are a few things that are questionable in my opinion. First the crew sizes, at first it doesn't seem to bad. Of course galleon crews will always outnumber sloop crews which is ok, but when you add in the ability to shoot people from cannons repeatedly without any consequence or cool down this is slightly unfair to the crew of a sloop who can not really afford to do this due to lack of numbers.
The fact that people can constantly shoot other players that are essentially smart cannon balls endlessly coupled with the use of mermaids is a something that I think needs to be looked at.
As a person who plays on both ships on a pretty regular basis this is just what I have observed. I have been the one shooting people from cannons and I have been on the other end as well. Also the blunderbuss is really killing any potential of real combat with the cutlass. Just my 2 cents on it.
Sounds like a lack of observation. You should always Be on the Lookout for other ships. Especially when anchored somewhere.
I've run plenty of solo and duo and enjoy the difficulty that comes with trying to get away from a Galleon.
However, I do prefer to run a 4 man crew on the Galleon.
Anyways, make sure you are well stocked before setting out to do any quests and always watch out for the other ships.I love duo slooping with my buddy had a gally chase us for a good 30-45 min you just have to be tactical
While I knew he could handle sails I jumped over after pretending oh I'm a friendly but I boomed their ship then climbed back on ours waited they chased us then again jumped over this time to climb aboard the gally drop anchor run around the back of the captains balcony letting them think I junped off just to collimb up shoot one cause chaos and drop again give my captain enough time to get space between us and the gally. And it worked eventually they were done either they went treasure hunting it went after the other gally in the server but we turned in our 10k worth of stuff

Thanks!!!The only unplayable part of a sloop is the fact that skelly forts are incredibly harder. I’ve tried it, it’s do-able but you need to be very good. Skelly forts are by far the easiest and best way of income, and it’s kinda sad that going solo or duo in a sloop makes it almost impossible when against galleons.
@lordzorddan I have sunk many of galleons as a sloop. I am not going to say "get gud" but its like playing chess, you need to out think your opponent.
I don’t find it unplayable. Sure you can’t do skull forts or fight the Kraken, but you can still do nearly everything else.
Yes fighting anyone while alone is borderline impossible unless they are also solo, but that just makes sense.
Just try to join a larger crew, yeah you may get auto-brigged a few times. But you’ll find a agreeable crew eventually. I have played with randoms successfully every time I tried, and unless a team mate lagged out and was replaced with a random- we only brig ppl who clearly aren’t interested in being helpful and communicating.
@lordzorddan definitely playable on all ships....why not turn the tables on the bigger ships and attack them? Or as i like to do when playing solo lead them on a merry dance aroud islands and through rocks being chased is park of the fun!
A galleon with a good crew of 4 people who all have mics and play together often will always be the supreme power in this game. However those are hard to come by.
A good sloop can own most galleons right now.
However eventually more people will make friends and learn how to properly crew a galleon and I think when good galleons become more common. Perhaps a larger more challenging ship will get added to the game and the sloop will get buffed.
However right now, most galleons are still learning not to crash into Islands.
@lordzorddan You have just had a lot of bad luck. I have played hourso n end since the official launch of this game, not once with a cre, but compleely solo. I have met some nice pirates in every gameplay. And bad ones as well. As a solo, my rank is currently 21 21 22 for the three factions. I have only been sunk 5 times and attacked 8 since launch. Once you learn how to effeciently run a sloop you can outrun any galleon. You juat have to have patience, creativity, and be observant.
My Gamertag is M0rbidCuriosity. I am one of the friendly pirates.
To be honest some players just see sloops as an easy sink for possible loot. My crew has gotten tired of sinking sloops, but when we do play 2 man sloops we go after galleons hard and sink them.
If you’re havin problems with galleons the. I suggest when you log into the game go and grab a few explosive kegs from an inactive skeleton fort. These usually have 4-5 kegs. Keep them in the crows nest so if they blow up they don’t do damage to your ship. If a galleon approach’s sail into the wind as you are faster. Kite them with shallows and get toa rocky area. If they don’t follow you through the rocks you can gain ground and escape. If they do go grab some of the explosive kegs from your crows nest and throw them over board. When the galleon hits them it puts 4-5 holes in the bottom of the ship. If the crew isn’t coordinated it almost always sinks them. If they are it slows them down heavily as they have to bucket and repair which usually results in them not paying attention to sails and steering. If they hit two while traveling through a rocky area this usually leads to massive damage causing them to forget about steering and either drop anchor or slam into one of the rocks while trying to repair.@lordzorddan here's a quick tip to stop getting your ship taken out while anchored at an island. Don't anchor :p do a drive by on the island where your quest is and have your buddy jump off and swim to the island. Then sail around till it's time to come back and pick him up. When nobody sees a ship anchored they won't bother going to the island unless they have a quest there too, it's a gamble but it's better than broadcasting to everyone that you're on an island currently getting loot. Get gud bro, think like a pirate!
It is doable, very doable with two people.
I do not understand why people have such difficulty surviving out on the sea of thieves(sorry)
How do you approach islands OP? how aware are you of your surroundings? All of these factor into your survival. Always check your surroundings before docking ANYWHERE. Remember the sloop is faster then the Galleon ONLY against the wind, with the wind the Galleon is faster. Secondly, the sloop is way better at turning, use the anchor trick often.(turn hard left or right, drop anchor, watch the magic happen.) It is amazing at out pacing Galleon crews. No, you probably wont sink a Galleon with a sloop, that is rightfully difficult.
I hope these helped a little.
Finally whether someone plays on PC or not has nothing to do with lag. Xbox players can lag just as easily.
