Hi all
I’m new to the game in fact I’m new to Xbox (ps4 player but wanted to try some xbox exclusives as I’m bored). I’m 36 playing most days in the uk.
I have been playing the game for around 2 hours and so far it seems like a good game that I could put a lot of hours into, sadly so far I really have no idea what’s going on in the game.
I turned it on and chose a pirate, I then did the “go to key guy” and the “buy a new clothing item” and then it said go to your ship and that’s where it all got weird!
I was on my ship and there were no more totorial tips so I didn’t know what to do, I put one of the contracts i got into the table but it didn’t show me where to go or explain what the contract was, I then found the map which didn’t show any waypoint until I clicked on one so had no idea where to go or what to do.
Before I had a chance to try and figure things out 3 more people joined and started shouting orders so I just did what was being voiced out - like raise sails, head north etc.
After visiting a few islands (these people seemed to know where to go) and seeing them running around with chests while I was constantly running around trying to keep up with them and dying or getting lost lol - these 3 people all had “pirate legend” as a title so I thought I was in good hands.
After a little while and still none the wiser of how to find chests or where to go or even why it’s being done except to buy new clothes I killed 2 red named skeletons (all the enemies are skeletons or snakes so far) oh and a big shark and then got a message from one of the guys saying “if you don’t start doing something we will brig you”, a bit confused seeing how for the last 2 hours I had been running around killing things loading the canons while under a shark attack, bailing water, raising sails, changing the angle, lowering the anchor etc etc (my pirate must be the fittest pirate ever to exist!) like I said I was confused so messaged the sod back and quit the game - if all of the seasoned players are like this then I don’t know if I can be bothered to even try to figure the game out.
Anyway any tips would be most appreciated or even just someone to hold my hand 😂😂
I can sail the ship no problems, I’ve worked out that every island seems to have a chest or 2 hidden somewhere and some bounties (red named skeletons) that drop skulls when killed and that’s about it. I still have no idea if your character levels up?, do you actually have your own ship or is it just a randomly generated one each time you log in?, are the weapons more powerful the more they cost?, are the islands level based?
So many questions......... I’m sorry if all this is answered elsewhere on the forums but I just thought instead of spending hours searching for answers to each question I could just post a general “my story so far” and beg for help
Thanks all
