2 players on a Sloop should easily escape a bigger ship. I can do it Solo, with a bit of effort. Having a second person would make it a cake walk.
(Actually, another Sloop is your biggest threat when Sloop-ing.)
There has got to be a safe mode enabled for sloops at this point, its getting out of hand.

@closinghare208 hahahaha they would cause further complaints RARE needs to do a giveaway for something anything and they would be quiet for a day.
yep to get them to SHUT up
Me and my friend attacked a galleon with pc players and pirate legends while we were in a sloop and we managed to sink them, so that just proves that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. You probably just had the mindset that you were going to fail, so you did. People keep complaining about this game when I am over here having a great time and I have things to add to the game but nothing that I would want to change.
@himos401 i don't know what you think about it but proofs and facts aren't proved with a self written story which could even be true and still wouldn't prove a thing nor set a standard for difficulty. this forum is full of this stuff and that goes all under survivorship bias, let alone the fact that you just need to lurk here for one week and see always the same names shut down the same suggestions

We are always watching out - and will redirect people where necessary :D
If you ever spot one, flag it for moderation it will be very much appreciated :D
Yes, I will do that. It's about time we got serious about policing opinions around here!
Thank you for your vigilance. I for one am tired of being forced to read things that I don't agree with and I'm sure that my fellow PIRATES and THIEVES on this agree.
It's so exhausting explaining over and over again to these[ mod edit] merchants that they chose to buy a sandbox pvp game and that they don't deserve to play the game just how they want, especially if it might impact me playing the game just how I want. It's not my fault they didn't do research before buying. Just like it's not my fault they just want to have fun without putting in the work and practice and dedication and watching Streamers like us to earn it. We don't need these people who don't want or even understand what Sea of Thieves is in the game or cluttering up our forum with non-starters like PVE only.
Imagine thinking you can just play any game only the way you want to just because you bought it, or are renting it on game pass.
And don't get me started on these Xbox [mod edit] always blaming everything on PC players and discriminating against us in order to cover how bad they all are at the game. So what if you pay to play online, that's your choice, and it doesn't mean anything other than M$ is ripping you off. I'm glad the deckhands do such a great job of squashing crossplay threads and opinion. I should not have to be forced to see those opinions I disagree with either.
Keep up the great work deckhands!
Oh hey Chonky Lemon.
Love the new sock account, fits you well! :)@SeaOfPC9214 - This is clearly a troll account made to look like a PC player, there is no profile with that name.
@TAK225 is this you?
Ahhhh it's Lemon, should have known.

yeah, it's definitely lemon- look at the way he talks.
It's that same condescending, snarky, stuck up tone, same mannerisms when he posts...
3 day old account named seaofpc? yeah, ok.
I have the taste of lemon pulp in my mouth.I'm on the hunt.
@Deckhands
The @SeaOfPC9214 user is very obviously a sock account, created by an already banned user so that they could further bait arguments and cause unrest. Who's behind the account is debatable, although I have an idea.I believe that circumventing a forums ban is a nono? Is it possible something can be done about this?
If not, apologies for wasting your time. Cheers.@himos401 said in There has got to be a safe mode enabled for sloops at this point, its getting out of hand.:

Hell, yesterday I was having a quick sail (logging in for voyages, lookin around for captains when a full galleon started chasing me. I had 0 loot on board so I had 0 care about the outcome of our fight (not that I have much usually) and in the end, I managed to sink them in ship to ship combat only. Turns out they had loot! (Had). People should really believe more in themselves and they would really be surprised of what they can accomplish. I am by no mean a pro PVP player, but it sure gave me a confidence boost and more experience as a navigator.

How is your side's story any more valid, then? All of them, on both sides, could be made up or at least changed, which they commonly seem to be based on gameplay. As for "the same names shutting down the same suggestions", the same few names start the suggestions, for the other same names to clash against them. The ones against the suggestions are trying to protect the game as a whole, while those suggesting it only want what is better for themselves and do not care if the game suffers from it. Some actively wish for the game to die, and suggest the same things alongside those who already did before them. You can't really think that it's good for the game if both sides are agreeing that it isn't, now, can you?
@tak225 I think that's what we are meant to believe. Plus there is no us lot and your lot, we are all meant to be here for the game.
If you are finally admitting that you don't care about that then please leave, edgy tween.
@badassfro I am not a tween and your opinions mean nothing to me and if you can prove that account is linked to me in anyway go ahead when I say us and them I am speaking of the pc dominated forums and what this guy said has escaped any moderation and I am sure a Xbox player would have had the pirate code thrown at them by now just because I have conflicting opinions from you about the game you don't like it you can harass me you can insult me either way I will share my opinion weather you like it or not I don't have any real interest in discussing things with you if you don't like what I say then just ignore and move on if you think I have sock accounts then go ahead and prove it most of what I say on these forums are for the attention of rare as my understanding is the do check the forum's for what people want and to hopefully add features I would like to see take that as you like
@tak225 Wow calm down hunni, think I hit a nerve which probably proves it. I have said how the @Deckhands can confirm sock account's. Sorry if you're a little scared you might be found out.
Plus the consensus is that the above sock account is linked to a different banned user.
But that's the "us vs them" that I'm talking about.
Additionally, you definitely are a tween given you're game tastes;
Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville™ - Last played 1 week ago

@tak225 said in There has got to be a safe mode enabled for sloops at this point, its getting out of hand.:I don't have any real interest in discussing things
If this game isn't for you why try to change it to suit you're tastes?
Rather selfish I think, but again you don't seem to have the games' best interests at heart. Only here to troll, you refuse to see anything from anyone else's perspective (definitely a tween, just trying to be edgy)
@badassfro again your accusing me go ahead and prove away the account in question has nothing to do with me I can assure you I am pretty calm the i guess this is a new tactic if you can beat them try get them banned go for it mate I am pretty sure a deckhand will prove this account has nothing to do with me I use one device to come on these forums and that's my phone and as I said the said account or this chunky lemon have nothing to do with me but knock yourself out and get the deckhands or whoever they are to run there checks go for it
@badassfro and if it's linked to another user why am I being mentioned by yourself and I think reaper
@tak225 No accusation just a method to confirm, please show me where I suggested that it was you today, yes I thought of you when I first saw it but as I have said the consensus now is it's not you.
I have no interest in banning you, I just wish you would actually engage in discussions instead of being so closed minded.
You really do like trying to play the victim all the time don't you?
@badassfro you may have not directly accused me but yourself and heavyreaper have implied it and as you said about engaging in discussion as I said before what I post is in the hope rare would see it and add the features I would like to see you guys want nothing to change and I find myself just going round in circles with usually the same forum members who disagree with me and please do this deckhand thing you will see the truth in the end
@tak225 Wrong, we do want things to change, we want more content.
You want to change the game into a different one with the "features" you suggest. You don't engage in discussions it's basically "add x,y,z and maybe I'll start playing again"
What we say is it seems like this game isn't for you. You refuse to understand that the whole game is PvEvP. That is what you are wanting to change, which would turn it into a different game, do you not agree?
@badassfro we have different opinion but once the features I would like to see are added and I am back to playing the game once I get a feel for things again then I will ask for content updates once optional cross play is added and I am playing again I will still request pve servers and once back in will see how the game has changed I am guessing I missed alot the time I have been out and see what content I would like added then perhaps I will engage in content discussions but the options thing still stands for me currently the game has a PvP mode and a pve/PvP mode seems fair to have a pve mode also and maiden voyage don't count that's a tutorial
@tak225 The game doesn't have a PvP mode, I think you are talking about Arena, which Joe has said is a condensed version of Adventure with a defined time. As people were complaining about how long it takes to complete voyages.
Plus you can win an Arena match without killing another soul, so please explain how that is PvP.
@badassfro seems like a PvP mode to me and from what I have seen of the streams I watched I would describe it as a competitive PvP mode I still think pve servers would be a good thing for the game I certainly think they should have reduced progression and would be good for people who like myself have kids who like the game but hate the PvP aspect of the game I can't see it being a mode most adults will spend there time in but I think it would be a good mode that alot of people seem to want I don't know if private servers would fulfill this role as I have seen it suggested on this forum it's really for content creators and it seems a pretty requested feature on twitter and these forums I like the idea of it
@tak225 You see this is the problem, you refuse to believe anything anyone else says, if it doesn't fit with you're intentions.
Arena is a condensed version of Adventure. Joe and the developers have said that. Yes you can win with PvP, funnily enough just like Adventure.
Private servers are coming, but from what Joe and the developers have said it will be more for content creators.
The problem with a PvE or private server, will be the end of Adventure, as anyone wanting to do Voyages will opt-out of Adventure for you're new game mode.
This will have the affect of turning Adventure into PvP as only people open to PvP will be there. This goes against the whole point of the game being a shared world experience.
If you are interested this all happened before with another game, Elite Dangerous. That started as a PvEvP game but without horizontal progression it meant that new players where getting stomped on by the established player. This caused them to request a Solo mode.
It was implemented but that caused a mass exodus from Open play, which just exacerbated the issue. To the point that they started removing features from solo play to get people to play the game as intended.
@badassfro disagree with you but you already new that I think a pve mode would bring more players to the game younger players and could be where alot of new players could begin there adventures learn the game more after maiden voyage and maybe much like myself move between modes depending on how they feel like playing at the time I keep seeing elite dangerous mentioned in reference to pve mode I tried that game thought it was terrible and refunded it don't really see the comparison and ark has done pretty well with PvP modes and PvE modes and I have friends who play that on both modes and think it's great don't see why this would be any different and to be honest everytime a change is suggested you guys always act like it will be the death of the game I think we are poles appart in our opinions and we are not gonna come to a consensus in this game which is fine you believe what you believe I will think what I like and good day
@tak225 But they won't come back, this is the problem. If they start playing in a PvE mode they will stay there, it's human nature.
Why would you risk anything unless you have to?
Would you come back to proper Adventure, from a PvE version?
I mean if you're not playing now, then I have to think not.The only way a PvE mode would work, would be a standalone mode like a fort defense, against a waves of Skeletons. Like Zombies in CoD.
This has been suggested and discussed, but these are the discussions you don't seem to not want to have as it doesn't fit with your all or nothing.
@badassfro I certainly would as much as I enjoy the pve stuff in the game I do enjoy some of the player interactions that come with the standard game other then the griefing and feeling disadvantaged to pc players I don't think some of the things I have experienced in it can be replicated on a pve server for me when playing with kids it would prob do the pve mode when playing with friends the normal adventure or dependent on mood I will still expect the majority of player to choose the main game as I do with the cross play opt out I think most will stay in the mixed pool as I have said before this.game is 24 man servers with server migration I don't think much will change on any end except the user has a choice how they want to play I think options causing the death of the game are being over dramatic
@tak225 It's not over-dramatic when it has happened to other game's that have tried it.
Those interactions you mention, are you saying that sometimes they are not all PvP focused? Cause that will all change if there was a PvE server of Adventure.
It's not something new, that is what will happen. I'm not saying there will be no players. I'm saying it would totally change the dynamic of Adventure. There wouldn't be people on there risking their loot, it would turn Adventure more into PvP. At the moment people can go hours before seeing another ship that may or may not engage in PvP, this is the design of the game.
What you are suggesting would change that. I am sorry you cannot/do not want to see that, but I talk from experience.
You wouldn't be happy with a PvE game mode like Zombies? or Fort defense?
@badassfro said in There has got to be a safe mode enabled for sloops at this point, its getting out of hand.:
You wouldn't be happy with a PvE game mode like Zombies? or Fort defense?
I think that the only way for a real separate PVE mode to make sense is having something equivalent to arena, a sub-mode that offers a different experience. An "adventure light" that is a carbon-copy of adventure without PVP would be redundant.
Would someone play nothing but arena for the rest of their SoT life? Of course not, you play a few rounds but you come back to adventure in the end. Arena does not replace adventure. Same should be said for a PVE-only mode, you partake in a shorter scenario or match, but it shouldn't be a permanent substitute to adventure. Hell, attach a faction to it or something and equivalent reward/profitability to arena and let's be done with this.
@badassfro agree to disagree I feel like this discussion between us has run its course and neither of us is gonna agree I think a pve mode is a great idea and I don't think much will change with the standard game we are not gonna convince each other the other is right so I will say thanks for your opinion agree to disagree
