I know I can't name names, and I won't, but there was a really cool pirate on the open sea last night. I was playing with my daughter, 7, her on Xbox One X and myself on my PC and we were trying to get all the Skellie Thrones. We just finished the solo Thrones and needed to complete multi-crew ones.
We sailed to Plunder Outpost and cautiously approached an experienced crew when my daughter pulls out her speaking trumpet and invites them to join her quest. They politely stated that they 'were doing their own thing'. My daughter took it well and we decided just to camp until another crew came. A few moments later the same pirate and her crew showed up and helped her aim the cannon to get on the throne. What's more is that right afterwards the pirate offered to show my daughter to the other thrones but right then the Xbox One X froze and she was booted from the server and game wahn wahn. All good tho, she just hopped on my PC as me while I trouble*shot(shooted?) the console.
Anyway they decided to instead hit a skull fort where my daughter, quite frankly, wasn't much help, and after defeating the Captain they not only handed her the key to open the door, but also first pick at the treasure. She didn't hesitate and ran to the Stronghold Chest(so proud). They then helped load her up with HALF the loot! In true Sea of thieves fashion another Galleon shows up looking for an easy score and the friendly pirate and her crew kept them busy, allowing my daughter to escape.
On the way to the Outpost to cash-in her loot she couldn't stop smiling IRL.
Thanks for your kindness! Definitely comfortable with the 'salt' but still, that was awesome :)
