Hendo Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Monday to Thursday next week. Like I say, I can do some on Wednesday but will be up early the morning after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 We can defo get some more in next week then, maybe even a few sessions. Maybe do a few treasure hunts so you can find your feet on Wednesday and then the week after do some of the story mode stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I’m thinking of booting this up during the day today to get a feel of the controls and stuff. Is there anything you can do on your own? Or failing that, is there any in-game communication for randoms? I’m thinking like a dial of set phrases or like the ping system in Apex Legends.

Maf Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 There’s a bunch of preset things you can pick from a wheel of stuff but it’s quite general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 You can do it all on your own, if you're inclined to be like that. I can maybe spare an hour or two after 4. I wouldn't expect to get anything done other than sail about and maybe dig up a few chests though. I've got to eat and then prep for ant genocide tonight.

Sly Reflex Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Can you handle a Brig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Me? Yeah I can handle it, not used it much at all compared to the other two but yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Maybe start in a brigantine then, it'd save the downtime when I get online of having to wait, jump right in and have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'm on now and ready to go, I'm gonna write a few posts up on here I've been meaning to do for awhile but I'll keep checking to see if anyone's logged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 That was alright. The game tells you fuck all so I'm glad there was voice chat. Mind you, I didn't do the thing at the start where it wanted me to talk to one of the people on the starting island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Now you understand why I said play with friends that chat. Imagine playing that with the emotes and quick phrases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Yeah I get that but I'd still like to have a small sail around on my own. Just paddle out to a nearby island and mess about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Grab a Sloop and go to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Just done a quest on me tod. I was expecting the sloop to be a bit smaller to be honest, but I could manage it on my own. I still don't know what I'm doing with the wind/angle thing, so just drop the sails and hope for the best. I got to the island I was looking for, immediately got blown up by skeletons. Then came back, fired the cannon from the ship to take them down and went hunting for the treasure. It wasn't obviously sticking out of the ground but it was a small island so a couple of digs and I found it. My biggest problem was immediately forgetting which island I started from. So I googled SoT starting areas and found that there's a load of outposts, so set sail for the nearest outpost, and sure enough I could hand the treasure in. I was wondering how I would know which of the vendors I should give it to and then noticed that one of them was flashing a signal to me. Handed it in, got paid and left the game. And it wasn't the island I started from anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Sails: If you look the wind direction is show by swirls in the air. The sail has 2 parts you can interact with, the bit that rolls it up and down and the bit that angles it. Angle it so that the wind goes into the sail, you'll get a big puff noise as the sail billows out if you've done it correctly. There's two kinds of outposts. The ones for treasure are the bigger ones and the ones that are small are for delivering fish and meats to. The first kind isn't the same island over and over, so the layout might be a bit different, but you'll have the same amenities on each island. Hunters call outposts are very tiny and only take fish and meats. You could actually kill the poultry and pigs and cook them on the ship. I'll show you that next time we play.

Sly Reflex Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You want to play tomorrow night? Wednesday I can go from about 7 onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yeah I can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Don't forget you're on tonight at about 7pm @Hendo. Paging @Blakey and @Maf too. If you want in, be there. I don't want to be fucking about skipping between ship sizes if it can be helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Can't make it @Sly Reflex. The only times I can play are before 6pm weekdays, technically I can play at night if the Missus goes to sleep but even then I don't have a Mic when I'm on my Xbox at home.
