I love the bonesmith and how the skeleton curse works but I still wish that we could get a blank skeleton to put our own clothing on as well...

[CliffTheStoryGuy]

You have been visited by a PhuzzyBond video. Good fortune and PvP winstreaks will come to you but only if you type "Thank you Mr PhuzzyBond." down below.

That is an interesting strat there! Board the enemy ship and sail them out of bounds to sink them.... I'll be remembering this one for certain!

[bored]

I like the skeleton curse I think it's the most unique out of all of them since I own them all, every animation you do you will see your skeleton body. It makes it more meaningful that you can actually see what you earned.

Hey phuzzy, Thank you for theese high quality videos! Much appreciated!

Lingering question: Say you're a defender who just won a fight against a hunter. Your supplies are going to be a bit more spent and you're going to be more vulnerable. Is there a "cooldown" period or something where a defender has time to stock backup before another hunter ship can come after them?

[OrchardFilm]

Thank you for all you do Phuzzy, you are awesome. I have a question about server alliances and how they may work with season 8. Let’s say there’s a full server alliance, with all five ships gathered near each other, and one of them opts into matchmaking. Is it theoretically possible that this would essentially create a supply line of attacker ships that will be dropped into a 1v5 battle? If other ships can participate in these 1v1 battles, what’s to stop this from happening? Thanks again.

Got on for a few hours last night and it is great, but I definitely got Rare'd. If you're playing an instrument and standing on the edge of the ship when you emerge from the water, it will glitch you into the side of the ship. I learned the hard way after sinking 3 ships, and then getting stuck in the wall on the 4th, and sailing right by and out of bounds, sinking my ship. I experimented with it two more times after that, and it happened both times.

A couple questions I have:

Will solo and duo crews be paired against each other?
What happens if both ships sink?
What happens if you sink while playing as a “defender” but are not engaged in a battle?

Great video, it was really informative and answered a lot of my questions!

[Wvo]

Great video Phuzzy! I had two questions though.

- What happens if you are tucking on a ship that immerges, do you just float atop of the water?
- What happens if you sink a ship from the same faction? Are there any consequences?

Thank you!

After the release of season 8 there will surely be many questions about matchmaking. But I guess the skill ranking mechanism will be hidden to us and adjusted multiple times by the devs behind the scenes.

...and what if someone goes in the red sea with the Shroudbreaker and activate the "hunted" mode. Will the opponent spawn in the red sea?
devs should be ready to prevent these dirty tricks

[luther]

Hey Phuzzy love the video but I have a question. If you are a defending boat and lets say you get attacked and you win. You're going to be weak after that fight, how long do you have before another boat comes to fight you ? Is there a "pause button" of sorts for the defender to ensure they can fix themselves before being attacked again ?

[hiragaknightzero]

Ok so my one question is: When you opt into being hunted, how does it work if you’re on a voyage, say on an island digging up treasure. Do you receive a notification that someone is coming to give you time to get to the ship? Or does it wait till you’re in open water?

[thedisturbedone]

This is great. My biggest issue with sot is that pvp is rare. It's hard to do it so you can't get good at it because people run or it's an uneven fight. This will have crews of equal sides and if you solo sloop it will be a 1v1.

[mattgarbe]

Hi Phuzzy! Got a question for you I can’t find an answer to. If you keep losing and are trash at pvp will you still be able to level up to eventually get the curse? Or would it be pointless and take like a year + of losing to reach the level required - if you even get any level up from losing?

[indianaweather]

You actually *Can* have loot on your ship while invading another ship via the war map! I brought over a storage crate on accident and then tried it with some fort loot and it all worked!

[megc]

What I'm dying to know (haha, get it?) is if the curses can only be unlocked during this season, or if they will always be unlockable. I'm already a pirate legend and would love to get both curses, but I'm only level 18 or so with the Reapers and barely do PvP lol

[luigigaminglp]

I hope they have a check for alliances.

And the emerging mechanic works nicely.

Because i can imagine 4v1s and ships spawning in islands or on kegs in the water or some shit.

[PonderingsOfPete]

small thing that was clarified/muddled in the official SoT video today: you earn Allegiance immediately after sinking your opponent, so if you get sunk and don't turn in the hourglass, you don't lose the allegiance you just earned. There might be some additional allegiance you earn from turning in your hourglass, but as far as I can tell, its just gold

[nibulsheep]

The thing is, i feel like the Guardians are somewhat less advantaged, since Athena's loot takes time to gather. A reapers can just stack any loot they find to increase their value / points.
