@ruigtand-nl said in Reapers hideout gifts difficulty:
In the menu you can first choose to connect to console
Menu button "console"
When I do this, I either get get an error message, or the ability to use my phone as a remote - that's it. My phone is on WiFi, but the console is hardwired with ethernet - both on the same network.
Yes phone as remote.
Then if you activate pirate text chat it should also pop up on your phone
Your post makes me so happy lol! 😄👍🎉🤸♀️🙌🌟🌊👏📱🎈🤸♀️
I love reading your excitement, I was laughing so much lol! I'm soooo happy it helped you! Yayyyy! ALL HAIL THE WHALE LORD!! Lol! 😂👍👏🐳👑🌊
And I know, right?? I thought it was just me! 🤔🤷♀️😅 I've been using the Xbox app connected to my Xbox forever to type things faster from my phone onto the Xbox, but never realized I could do text chat in Sea of Thieves with it. I never even knew I could enable a keyboard to type freely in the game chat for other Pirates to see. When I did figure it out, I thought surely everyone else (on both PC and Xbox) was doing this and it was just me that was late to the party lol. 😅🤦♀️ But now, seeing how a few other pepole didn't know, it seems that not a lot of people know about this, maybe.
I don't know why it's not 'out there' as common knowledge, or not shown more clearly in the game somehow. I would never have even thought to say anything (as I assumed everyone else knew lol) if not for @Ruigtand-NL mentioning about wanting a chatpad. 👏😊
Thanks again and I'm so happy my post helped and tore off your eye patch and helped you see the light lol! ✨🌞✨ Cheers, Matey! 🙌😄🍻🌊
@spiralout46and2 Your very welcome!!! It was such an eye opener. This will help with so much in game. I have told numerous friends about this and nobody knew. Everyone was so excited to know. Right after writing my reply to you I ran into two PL's that had played for a year and they asked if I was on console and how I was using text chat. I explained it to them and they were so grateful. So your post is helping many people for sure. In my excitement I forgot to compliment @Ruigtand-NL on the boat decoration. It looked awesome. Also I have to give full credit to @HitboTC for the All Hail The Whale Lord. If you didn't know he is a content creator who's content helped me to learn the game and this is his saying which I love and say all the time, especially when excited!!!
Wow, see I thought it was only me that didn't know about using text chat on the console lol. I literally played SoT for over a year, and I only used the chat wheel.😅🤭🤦♀️ When I stumbled upon the chatpad option in the settings, I wasn't even sure what it was until I enabled it and tried it. My eyes got so big when I saw that I could write custom messages now lol! 🙌🎉I've told a few friends too, even outside of these forums, and they're long time players and PL's too, and they didn't know either. Maybe we've accidentally stumbled onto something that has been overlooked in the game and would help a lot of console players if it were mentioned more publicly by Rare, like if Joe Neate mentioned it in a weekly video update or something. 😇🥳 I think a lot of pirates are missing out and don't even know it! Good communication can really make this game a better experience for everybody when you can type more than "Ahoy!" or "Aye" lol. 😄👏👍
And yes, I'm very familiar with @HitboTC - The Cursed Captain!! 😄 I've been watching his videos for a long time and just this morning, I watched his new one ("Season of Chaos"). I'm super familiar with All Hail The Whale Lord and then dropping a skull in the Seas haha, so I loved how you threw that in your post!👍😁🐳👑☠ I knew right away what you meant and where it was from - that was great lol. I've even said it a couple of times in my own game too. It's one of the things that makes @HitboTC 's channel so much fun. 🤝🌊😅
Thanks again Matey, and happy sailing! If I ever see you on the Seas, we'll raise a grog together lol. 🌴🌊☠🙌🍻🤸♀️
