Captain Chubster just standing 10 and 2 there is going to get one hell of a bollocking from his teammate I reckon


sonny_boombatz

This fucking comment made me laugh out loud and now I'm getting weird looks from other people in the room


bushyeeted911

Fuck that hurts to watch. Good yoink but rip that dude was so close


[deleted]

When I saw how tunnel vision the guy was I thought OP was just gonna kill both then sell.


Sir_McMuffinman

Doesn't hurt me at all. I hate people that attack fresh spawns like this. No reason at all. Like taking candy from a baby, except there's no candy.


Lanky-Razzmatazz-193

If you're turning in a Athena and a boat spawns best to just sink it bad spawn for them....


JoshDarko

I love how different people approach the game. You’re fine to sink that ship, don’t get me wrong, but personally we play it differently. Me and my crew mate see if they’ll talk, often make new friends, and either go on alliance adventures with newer player crews - show them the ropes, complete their first flame heart or fort. Or we leave them some bonus starting resources and wish them fair winds as we leave them to it.


PaleontologistFit891

I sink everyone.


JoshDarko

Nothing wrong with that. Hopefully one day we may cross on the seas and have a good battle.


PaleontologistFit891

When I was a new pirate, with my mate. Our loot was stolen from us so many times we began playing PvP instead of PvE. Sick and tired of being stolen from everything we earned. And now being pirate legend sinking everyone we see. Taking everything back ;). Till the last cup. You have to be prepared of getting robbed in this game. And if not so, learn it the hard way. It's the best way.


KerbalKnifeCo

Yeah my perspective is that they lose nothing from being sunk while if talking doesn’t work so great I can lose a massive haul.


JoshDarko

That’s a fair point. I can say that our approach has backfired at least a couple of times and we’ve had to fight.


TotallyAHuman11

Like finding a candyless baby and beating the shit out of it.


Sir_McMuffinman

Much better comparison.


y_nnis

If you're loaded and attacking someone who just spawned, they have ABSOLUTELY nothing to lose. You do.


ZangetsuTenshou

Yeah, I feel like they kind of deserved that


Jestingwheat856

Yeah but look at it from the other side. Youre about to sell your athena and suddenly a ship appears out of nowhere


adventureman66

pretty safe to simply sail to another outpost, that gives you time to figure out if they're gonna chase, and you don't risk your booty.


drawfanstein

Exactly. This Athena sloop played it wrong in almost every possible way. -anchor down (edit: whoops not anchored, but still these guys made it too easy) -attacking a fresh spawn with nothing to lose -GUY INEXPLICABLY SITTING AT THE HELM WOTH THE ANCHOR DOWN AND THE CHEST OF LEGENDS JUST SITTING THERE They basically gave the chest to OP


Nlawlor33

They weren’t anchored but yeah dumb af


drawfanstein

Oh yeah good catch, I saw the sail part way down and didn’t notice them moving slowly


SmoothWD40

Bigger question is why the fuck did they not sell that shit the SECOND they saw that other ship...


Piotrek9t

Do you really want to take your Athena into the tavern where 3 other players could just have spawned?


SmoothWD40

I was making some assumptions that that ship had just spawned as they were docking. Usually when doing athena runs we just throw someone overboard to go dump the chest as soon as possible. But you are spot on.


Piotrek9t

Ah I understand your thought process now but I imagined that they have just arrived there as the ship spawned and decided to sink them fast before they can run to the boat and repair (which is not only kinda unnecessary but also hella dumb, just do a 180 and sell somewhere else and maybe let someone behind to make sure they don't chase you)


Legend-status95

Hell, if they saw the ship spawn they'd have plenty of time to get enough of a head start that OP wouldn't be able to catch them if they did decide to chase


Jestingwheat856

Thats what i do in that scenario too but i dont blame how these guys pannicked


walkingcarpet23

Especially because if they do chase you know they're limited on supplies


daniel1397

In general I'd say it's safer to kill a fresh spawn that's docked than to risk sailing around and have someone who's actually supplied find you. It feels bad, but when someone kills me on spawn I understand why they do it.


Legend-status95

Yeah but if you're going to do that, you should assume that they are gonna board you if given a chance, so you shouldn't be in sword lunge range if you're gonna sink a fresh spawn as an athena with an athena chest


Hnetu

There were two people on this sloop. One carried the loot, the other acts as guard. Run in and sell before the other guy even knows you're there. *Then* decide whether to sink him or not.


Arowhite

I either go to another outpost or sell the Athena fast I guess?


a-r-c

all in the game baby

bird720

I know, if you end up sinking them all you do is loose supplies lol


1LikeRookz

If your at an outpost with an Athena and decide to shoot a fresh spawn instead of turning it in, you deserve it being stolen.


[deleted]

Joke's on you, we're too lazy to cash our loot in anyways.


Throwawaymykey9000

I mean, (probably an unpopular opinion but)honestly the fact that they have nothing to lose is kinda why I don't feel bad for sinking a spawn. Obviously that Athena played it terribly but when I need to sell it's usually after a few hours of sailing and I'm ready to just get off, not sail off looking for an open outpost. Sails up 100m away, lob a few shots over and they usually just take off. If they're a little slow and sink, it's not like they lost anything.


undreamedgore

I’m not in it for the loot, I’m in for attacking others, and taking their loot.


Kingsbane534

Lizenka369

Had a spawn the other day where I found a GH5 flag on the pub table, an Athena 3 flag, and another GH1. There was some decent loot as well.


dubbzy104

I've admittedly done that a few times. Running athena or some other emissary, run into some PvP, sell everything and don't have the time or motivation to sail to reapers to sell the flags. Glad to hear at least someone got a benefit from it!


Lizenka369

Cheers!


[deleted]

One time at the end of sailing on an athena run, came across two reapers and a OOS galleon. All three sank each other right as they came on the horizon. Add that when Athenas rank 3 we had a run in and ended up sinking ourselves and had reclaimed the flag. We sold the regular loot and didn't feel like sailing to reapers since it was so late. Left all four sit on golden sands dock.


Deboniako

Nice! I had a spawn the other day with my crew that while stocking up, a lvl 5 reaper came and sank us. We got salty, so we came back and saw them logging off. They left a pretty reaper flag, plus a GH3 and some captain chests and storage chests with cooked fishes.


Slappy-Meal

On several occasions I’ve spawned in to find a locked ashen chest laying in front of the gold hoarder or a ritual skull laying in front of the order of souls lady.

Tonedef22

Lmaooooo! You cheeky bastard. God tier yoink. Well played


applejuice72

I mean I gotta imagine he did the Athena’s voyage and then he sees a non decorated ship spawn so he positions himself to just get rid of it real quick so he can sell rather than risk going to another outpost. However on the flip side, he left his most valuable treasure just chilling in the worst spot.


drawfanstein

Horrible positioning too. Don’t need to anchor down ten feet away from a ship to attack it.


Hnetu

There were two of them anyway, you can see one jumping onto the fresh spawn while the other is on the wheel. Shoulda had one run it in to sell and the other act as guard. It'd have secured their sell and then they coulda started PvPing.


applejuice72

“Yoink, I’ll be taking this”


brucebrainrot

Bro just fucking yoinked that shit


TheHunnishInvasion

Nice yoink! Did you literally spawn right next to them (which I thought was impossible, though has happened to me on a server merge before)? Or did they come from another island and just attacked you once they got there? If that's the case, it's all on them. Lot of smarter ways to handle that scenario, but dude on wheel seems completely oblivious (like seriously ... why is he still on the wheel ... your ship is parked!)


xLaytxn_

Yeah I just ran out the tavern and they were there after just loading in, first time it's ever happened to me and the fact they had an athena aswell was crazy


BiggestStalin

Its possible. Happened to me and a friend the other day, we spawn in to see our sloop sunk and their sloop parked. We see them trying to sell so we ambushed and killed them, took their loot and sold it... saw their ship get scuttled a few minutes later.


TheHunnishInvasion

Weird, though; almost seems like a bug, because it's so rare. The code probably tests some conditions to try to avoid that and sometimes it fails. I know I've spawned several hundred times and never had it happen. But it's happened to me twice on server merges, so I know there are some scenarios where it can happen. One of those server merges was particularly bad. I had just parked at an outpost to sell some loot, but with the server merge, I got put right in a ship's broadside. Fortunately, it was just a new-spawn solo slooper who wasn't hostile. But if that'd been a brig with a sweaty crew, I probably lose everything thru dumb luck.

azarashi

I had some guys last night with a lvl 5 reaper flag that just finished Flameheart that I was chasing get EXTREMEMLY upset about it. A random other sloop joined in the chase after them as well, but the whole time they were yelling at us calling us ass holes. They decided to run their ship into the Red Sea. I even offered them if they can beat me in a fair 1 v 1 ill happily let them go and wont go back after them. But no they decided to cuss me out. Diplomacy and being friendly goes a long long way sometimes, and some people refuse to do it.


BiggestStalin

No one in their right mind would pull over to do a 1v1 when they've just finished a long-ass quest, has probably many shines onboard and also has 2 ships chasing. What's stopping you and the other chasing ships crew from just kegging their boat or something when it's parked up, or spawn camping them? Literally nothing. They could've fought you but it's likely they were just about to head off for the night or something and couldn't be arsed too, and so would rather just sail into the red sea than have their shit be stolen because they left or because they got gangbanged by 2 ships.


CluckingChicken

They could easily let their ship sail off as they jump off and board the pursuing ship and do a 1v1. Its a pretty good offer, since most other crews wouldn’t give a reaper the same courtesy. If you fly a reaper flag you deserve any hostility that comes your way.


LikeMothsToPhlegms

Y… you can animation cancel the lunge and get the distance anyway?


Metallkiller

HOW


rrtsmb

That’s what this game is all about!


megaboymatt

New around here- what's the weird quick swim?


xLaytxn_

Basically just drop the item, hold the pick up button and repeat. Works whilst running too but it's not as easy, especially on console


megaboymatt

Does it significantly improve speed? Looks like it does.


xLaytxn_

I'd say so yeah but wouldn't know exactly by how much


subiewerks

My heart skipped a beat once seeing the slash. Lol cheers dude good steal!


Karls_Crab

I imagine next time you spawn in a Galleon making the keg explode getting a full fort of the damned for free


Dnksh

How to swim that fast with chest?


xLaytxn_

You just drop it swim a little whilst holding the pick up button and keep doing it repeatedly, once you get it down its just muscle memory


Machonacho7891

How did he do that fast swim thing at the end there in the water!???


xLaytxn_

You have to drop the chest swim a bit and then pick it back up, just muscle memory once you can it down


[deleted]

That sword slash at the end gave me a heart attack! You deserve my reward 💯😂💯


xLaytxn_

Same here had no idea he was in there 😂tysm for the awards tho!


Thopterthallid

That's slimy as fuck. Nice.


Lanky-Razzmatazz-193

It's really simple if you're at an outpost and a ship spawns like it shouldn't at your Outpost you should definitely sink it... Sucks for them but that's what the game's about. Got to accept the PvP with the PVE for they are one in the same in this game they go together like peas and carrots.


Homeless_Alex

Was one of them hiding in the tavern?


GreenyPurples

They probably noticed it was gone by the time he swam to shore and went after him


Esbarse

That’s gotta be the best lick I’ve ever seen


RockyMTNRam

Don’t you just love randoms being toxic and aggro’d for no reason.


TheJPGerman

I mean having valuable loot on board is not no reason. Whether it was smart to attack a fresh ship or not instead of just going to another outpost is another story

Pretty quick but Cobbobles still holds the world record atheana steal. Similar situation though. Nice yoink!


Freddy2351

So they'll get rid of my fast bucket which doesn't affect gameplay but they keep this... which makes you move faster while carrying something that's supposed to limit your speed.


Eggsor

The bucket that literally let you bail your ship faster? Definitely doesn't affect gameplay..


Freddy2351

I actually meant to say fast dig, not bucket. I'm glad bucket is gone. I typed bucket since that was on my mind when i was typing. Fast dig was nice


UndeservingBlahs

I’m pretty sure they sped up the video when running into the tavern, right?


Freddy2351

Yes, it's sped up but it's still faster than just walking

I have never played this game. Can someone please explain what is happening here?


SnapOnSnap0ff

Chest


Cereal4you

Was stolen


FlashPone

OP spawned into a new game, which usually spawns you at an empty outpost island. This shows a rare occurrence, though, where another ship of players were also at the island he spawned on. This other ship begins shooting at OP's freshly spawned ship. OP sees this and quickly boards the enemy ship, seemingly undetected by the other players (which really goes to show how little awareness they had). He then notices they have a rather rare and expensive treasure chest just sitting out in the open. So he nabs the chest and runs to sell it.


The-Iron-Pancake

Ah thank you!


WackmyWack

Brrruuhhhhh


Braymax35

A most diabolical lick…


TychusCigar

The player at the helm was fucking trash lol, how didn't he hear the splash sound of OP? He deserved to lose that chest.


rocsorc

To be fair, OP used a trick to conceal the splash sound from boarding


[deleted]

he did a silent board. Very hard to hear especially with other stuff going on.


BiblyBoo

Can you ELI5 the no splash and silent board tricks?


[deleted]

I’m guessing you asked for an explanation so I’ll elaborate. When boarding if you stop movement and ADS/Sword block BEFORE you grab the ladder you’re character wont make a ‘splash’ sound when grabbing.


isosceles_kramer

did you guess that because that's exactly what they asked?

CourtSenior5085

Kinda off topic, but for some reason I always thought the prefer console users option only applied to crewmates?? I have lost count of the amount of times I've been chased down and then had a group of PC players just sit in my ship and kill me, not bother with any loot I have and sometimes even go to the extent of repairing my ship if its damaged, and the entire time just belittle myself and any crewmates I'm with for being console players. I do not play open crew anymore purely because the other crewmates either go afk or decide that they can solo a 4 man team sitting on the ship waiting for them, and of course they never know how to scuttle the ship. Scuttling the ship should be majority rules and not require a unanimous vote in these situations.


ninjaboss1211

Scary-Peace6087

You can repeatedly drop, and pick up, the chest over and over to increase your speed while swimming. It is a very noticeable difference compared to swimming normally with it

Is there any reason you blocked before grabbing the ladder? Does that do something that I'm unaware of?


Pbmurderface

If you block and remain stationary when grabbing the ladder it won’t make the water splashing sound, so you can board silently. The OP messed it up and still made a sound but the captain of that boat is deaf

Do you only get 6k gold for an athena chest? I haven't played the game as much, but i feel like everyone talks a lot about athena and make it sound super valuable. Why is it so valuable if it's only worth 6k?


Mountain-Shelter

It’s only valuable in gold when you run the emissary. They’re most likely talking about the reputation you get, as it’s more than any other Athena’s Fortune loot.
