Add a Tall Tale Only Mode
Trade off would be you can't sell or progress reputations, but you don't worry about that in Tall Tales anyways.
Would be nice to get away from the random PVPers and actually be able to enjoy the story.
Tall Tale Only Mode
sure, and I use them but in the past week on multiple nights I get attacked and server hop to just get attacked before I can even re-start from the check point.
as a mostly solo player it is a huge waste of time to deal with pvp when just trying to do a tall tale.as you said the checkpoints already remove most of the risk and are nice for random disconnects or running out of time to play but still huge hassle to deal with pvp when you have no interest in it at the time.

If you are struggling with getting attacked this often we can schedule a time where I can watch your boat for you while you work on the islands you need to go to help you finish up the tale you are working on.
Servers are random so it is possible you are facing consistent hostility, typically not something I see but it's possible.
If you are struggling with these attacks I can be of help or you can use the forums, the discord, or looking for a group for an extra person or a larger crew to go through it with you for backup.

When I was doing Tall Tales every time I faced a crew I just simply told them "I'm doing Tall Tale, nothing on ship and I don't care to fight now". I think I got sunk once during all Tall Tales.
Obviously I never showed any hostility or intention to escape. If you escape or avoid other ships they think you are worth attacking.@cinnumann said in Tall Tale Only Mode:

Obviously I never showed any hostility or intention to escape. If you escape or avoid other ships they think you are worth attacking.unfortunately we met dozens of crews who used this as an excuse to get away with their loot. Thats why we demast you to double check your ship anyways. Talltale? okay. But your non-TT loot will be taken anyways as well as the chains we needed. And if you have any kind of emissary flag while doing your TT, thats bad for you.
You'd wonder how many crews try to get away with this; and of course if you run or attack, then you will definitely get sunk anyways. Thats where the checkpoints come in handy.
So try to not do them completely alone, there are lots of LFC discords out there and lots of players who still need or want to do talltales together.
@darkglory88 Ahoy!
The team have semi-recently given their thoughts on the topic of PvPvE and discussed it in an official Podcast here.
There is also a thread for Custom servers here.
Sea of Thieves will always be a shared world adventure game, with elements of both PvP and PvE but Joe did speak about Custom Servers about a year ago. These servers will not offer Gold or progression IF they become available to the public. Private Servers are still being tested with our Partners.
Dropping anchor on this now.
