Dear Mr. SOLO player,

you think to yourself: "why do so many adventures of mine end with nothing but a sunken ship and tears of anger in my eyes?"

I will tell you why:

https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/56296/difficulty-description-solo-play-hard-mode

Because the more stories i read in this forum of solo players sobbing and blaming the game for something bad that happened to them, just not willing to understand the simple fact that playing solo is "extreme risk hard mode" the more i feel the need to show you just how risky your decision to solo was by robbing you and put your stuff on my 4 player galleon!
Look at me as your teacher who tells you just one lesson in a way you wont forget it: this game is not meant to be played solo if you cant handle the risk that comes with it!

Some of us play Solo because we're we are parents and do not have the privilege to play at the behest of someone else's schedule. We can't slap on a set of headphones and drown out the sound of a crying toddler who has just woken up from a nap.

We play when we can but our priority is our children so our attention gets pulled away without a moment's notice.. So teaming up with someone would be unfair to the other player every time we get interrupted.... which happens a LOT as a parent.

Maybe you could try to sympathize with other players and realize we don't all game the way you feel we should. We all have our reasons and motivations to play the way we do. It doesn't mean we're wrong or that you are. We all just play differently.

You sound like you need to breathe more. You are the reason people Don't like soloing. I'm alllll for pvp and stealing loot but I pick my battles. I want PvP not a massacre that requires no skill. What you are doing requires no skill. It's like proving you are tough so you beat up the kid in the wheelchair..... I think you made this post of anger after you went against an experience solo that destroyed you

not to mention working 45+ hours a week full time. The same reason I counter arguments for people mad that they grinded hours to legend in the first week and have lack of content.... We all have different schedules and play styles.

Actually, these forums aren't full of complainers and whiners. In fact, there are numerous positive posts that are just at the bottom of the list. Have you noticed how quickly a positive post sinks to the bottom?

People are attracted to drama and controversy. Look at the reality T.V hype. Why? Because there's drama and controversy.

You are under the impression that everyone whines because that's what you click on. When's the last time you clicked on a positive, constructive thread. I've noticed plenty around!

What right do you have to decide how other people play the game?

This game is not meant to be played solo? - Strange that there's an option for that in game and a very large playerbase of solo players then isn't it?

So you're going to now go out of your way to intentionally harass those players because you disagree with their chosen play style?

How nice of you..

Lookout everyone, serious tough guy on the seas!

He is actually a nice guy who does sloop most of the time and in a chilled manner. Shoot, even his wife solos during work and is afk a lot to do her rounds. She doesn't s*b about the amount of times that she is outnumbered or sunk and robbed whilst afk, etc.

But there does come a time when all of the posts and threads of the same topic arise too often.
Perhaps some of us (me included) spend too much time on these forums?
In a perfect world we'd all be playing the perfect game instead.

Fair winds and happy sailing. :o)

Exactly! Half of the time I'm playing I either have my 2 year old sitting on my lap, my 8 month old crawling all over me trying to steal the controller, or both! There have been dozens of times that I've been in the middle of something only to toss my controller to take care of my kids.

@khol-thndrwlkr Hahaha! RIGHT?! I have a 2.5y/o and a 5mo. old. :P

Such a good time. I'm lucky that the people whom I play Sea of Thieves with have a young kid too, so they completely understand when I disappear suddenly.

@khol-thndrwlkr haha yeah, I imagine that's helpful!

I haven't played with anyone else, yet. I've been playing strictly solo. I had it in my head I was going to get legendary status ONLY doing solo so I can prove to people it can be done... But holy c**p! The Souls Alliance is going to be a PAIN this way. =-p

little childish comment isn't it?

By the way real pirates, only attack if there is something to be gained otherwise it is a waste of material.

Attacking a sloop wich just laying there with nothing on board... yhea youre a real man then.

It is fun thoug how many galleons sunk by sloops though.

I think you just have bad experienced with Solo players. Keep the b******g on the Seas people, in the form of Cannon fire.

I'm a Solo slooper, I know it's 10x more of a challenge when you're alone but I've sank Galleons and Sloops alike. At the end of the day, it's between people who like Pvp and people who don't and the bottom line is, they shouldn't have this game, period.

Can't we all just get along

If you read through these forums, you'll realize that we apparently can't. It's a shame.

@slinkycracker70 Sloops are outnumbered in every way from crew to guns but you're right about that they're more agile, and I assume it's not a complaint considering the smaller something is, the more agile it is. I play both Galleon and solo sloop.

People who are sunk by a sloop in a galleon should communicate more, they have the numbers and the guns. Half the crew could try and board while the other half open fire.

Sloopers should use their maneuverability to their advantage and they better get pretty darn good at the cannon because it's one cannon ball vs what is it 4 on the galleon? So i got good at aiming, now people b***h at me for using an 'aimbot'.

I learned no matter what someone does or how things are, nothing can be perfect.

I don't even mean no pvp but like bla bla bla I hate all sloops I will kill you because I can, other side bla bla I want to solo alone and cant, bla bla I love to grief gallons in my sloop how about the other version adventure o theres a sloop lets create a story and escort him to an outpost, o lets leave him be or lets help him do his souls quest...

So much hate, There is going to be so much more crying when the event drops cause people will have to partner up and the stories to follow will be shocking.

@darkstalker0742 Yeah I've gotten p****d off about people who camp at the outposts, a great strategy would be to have a crew member scout ahead.

If the loot carrier gets shot, then the camper is at a disadvantage. It gets tense, wanting to get the loot in quick, but patience is key, scouting can save you so much time and loot.

@genereder just got back on the forum, suprised this is still going. people never change. anyway, back to SoT, trying to get legend by only solo, so yeah

@genereder
Seriously you are just increasing toxicity to the Sea of Thieves and I think you have more productive things to hate than a PC player on adderall.
I was just sunk by two Sloop players and told them in game chat multiple times I was only transporting animals. I even said they could board me. I never fired back. Or attacked. They slaughtered me without mercy.
So I took the recorded footage and reported them both for unsporting behavior.

By the way; they were camping an outpost after seeing that I only had animals.

Your post exemplifies the state of hostility that one must be aware of when seeing every other ship.

I was just in a similar situation where I was at an outpost looking at the changes at the merchants when a galleon crew just killed me outright. Alright, respawn. They're on my ship, I wave, and say that I don't have anything, they're welcome to screw around or take whatever from my ship (I didn't stock up or have anything of value, I literally jumped on to see what was new) and they just laughed, yelled racial slurs (for some reason?) and kept killing me.
