I set my PCs region to NZ and have the game installed but it's been on Opening the journal for what feels like forever. Did I miss something?


Nvm I'm in!

I played an hour by myself and didn't enjoy the experience. Then I hooked up with 2 friends and the game revealed itself as a marvelous gaming experience. It really transforms into something special when you play online.

Thanks! I figured as much. I might have to play with randoms then but the game has systems in place to match you up right?

Sea of Thieves requires a degree of coordination between people that I was both not anticipating and am very into. I don't even know how this would work without voice chat.

Just got into a storm, survived but then as soon as I got out my ship turned upside down and sank.

What the hell? I thought I was grabbed by a Kraken but it just... sank.

Your boat was damaged by the storm. When you hear wood planks flying they are coming off the hull of your ship. You need to patch holes and bail out the water with your bucket.

Oh my god, what is with people who don't understand simple english?

GB needed to get chicken coops from the merchant on the dock and they had no idea what it meant.

This is the perfect game for the 'looking for group' feature. My son played a game with 3 randoms that were all into pokemon. He said they were fun guys and he's added them as friends.

I never took GB serious after i saw them play Quantum Break as a cover shooter.
I do like the talks at E3 tho from them. But thats the only time i watch them.

One thing I absolutely don't like is because how the game is build, it doesn't even save ( it seems) how much wood, or bananas or cannonballs you had before you turn off. When you start again, it's like a brand new ship with the same standard number on materials.

That feels so arcady, I wish it would be more simulation in that regards.

There are context sensitive emotes on controller and keyboard. And text chat on keyboard.
What's the text chat key on Keyboard? I'm on PC.

But I just mean beyond simply navigating a boat. My friend and I had just finished a bounty, and were deciding what to do next. We could make for a new island and look for more loot, or go back to an outpost to turn in what we had. We hashed out our plan in seconds on voice - "we'll let's roll the dice on a quest and see which is closer, that or an outpost" and off we went.

Yeah, this should only reset when youve been sunk. Hopefully you get to keep resources when you become a legend, although I doubt it.

Each time my boat sank I spawned next to an island with plenty of planks, bananas, and cannonballs. It doesn't seem too punitive in that regard, and you do start with enough of each to get by.

After installing SoT from the NZ store, can I switch back to USA? Seems like I'm downloading from a server in NZ/Aus because the download is pretty slow. If I stay in NZ will it put me in an oceanic server?

Read the past few pages and haven't seen this answered, sorry if this has been answered a bunch.

Just realized I'm saying my download of 1.5 MB/sec is slow. I'm so spoiled.

Hey there, am sure this has been asked but there are 31 pages....

So say I was to get Xbox game pass, would the play anywhere mean I could play the game on PC?

Thanks in advance :)
