Oh No, He's Ranking The Sea Of Thieves Adventures (RIP)

Shrouded Deep has to be my favourite. Just the experience of collecting the entire server to defeat a beast on it's own is amazing. Not just that, though. The fact that the Shrouded Ghost battle had 2 hidden phases that weren't even teased, let alone be on the trailer (they put everything in trailers nowadays). Merrick yelling "Flameheart's onto us!" caught me off guard. The battle was actually challenging for a change too. So much so that everyone cheered when Pendragon spawned next to us, yelling at other ships with speaking trumpets that "backups have arrived". It managed to do what Hungering Deep did right. The battle is just an excuse to bring players together and create memories.

As someone who got the play the dark deception and nothing else. I feel all these should be brought back (except maybe the retconned ones and the community choises)

Shrouded deep was a blast, from summoning megs for that hunters call rep, to the continuation of what the hungering deep was, wish we could have something like this again. As for griefing, out of the 30 times I did this event, there was only 1 cause of grief, in the form of being sunk by a player after we stacked 4 megs of loot. Lost sands, as well as the one for the forts where you had to capture them, were both great to get the game to be alive again with much engagement from the community. Also, reaper rowboats!

used to love logging on every 2 weeks and having a new adventure to play, in which i could get some cool new cosmetics like stichter jims' outfit

0:57 absolute S-tier reference

Even though Adventures are dead, I still hope we continue to get Community Choice events. Those really got the community going, and pushed the story along too (and we can't have Return of the Damned being the last Choice Event given how rough the story was executed)

As a predominantly solo player, my #1 is Shrouded Deep. Did it several times over, and each time had a new adventure. The most memorable being when we had four sloop crews together, but needed an extra person so a pair of us sailed off and abducted another person from across the other side of the map. At the end of that session, I may have silently absconded with the Athena too.

Ok, this might be a hot take: We now have the "safer seas" mode. Rare could remake those Adventures into talltale like events that you can play on the safer seas. Just without the original rewards (maybe new ones?) As a new player, who never got to experience adventures, I'd be more then glad to be able to get to know the lore of the game organicly

I’m not gonna lie I’m a sucker for the stitcher Jim one. It felt more connected to the games original story more so than a lot of the adventures, and gave me a reason to go back to that entire section of the map. Plus, the customer model for the boss and the bossfight having more minions than normal ashen lords AND with the volcano going off felt like a genuine boss battle and returned the wonder I had for this game back when I first started playing.

The hunters cry made pve players cry

as someone who joined late into the sea of thieves loop, (joined christmas of 2022), i sadly missedo ut on alot of these adventures, it pains me especialyl with the shrouded ghost one, cause it seemed absolutely amazing to be a part of. so while adventures go to rest in piece, lets hope some of the older and better adventures get turned into tall tales or special voyages.

There was the adventure where you had to meet Belle at Crescent Island, go to my absolute LEAST favorite island on the map to summon and fight ghosts and bring her back some disk things and a map to dig up on Crescent Island to bring her. (Do I remember the name? No. No I don't.) I sailed from Crescent Island to the Worst Island and realized I didn't take the special ghost flame in my lantern to do the ritual so I had to sail all the way back to get it. I returned WITH the flame and summoned the ghosts and fought the ghosts and got the disk things and the map and returned to Belle. Right as I was reaching Crescent Island to see Belle and finish the adventure.... I was migrated to another server and my MAP DISAPPEARED! I gave her the disk things but I couldn't dig up the final treasure so my adventure was not complete. Now, I had been waiting to find a time a friend was available to go with me because those adventures are more fun with company, with no luck. So I had waited till the last minute. Fortunately, upon hearing my tale of woe, a friend volunteered to do the adventure again with me. We had maybe 6 hours before the adventure went bye bye. THIS voyage was not without extra drama (a storm and a pirate fleet event got in our way). We fought the ghosts but they didn't drop any of the disk things. My friend said that because I had already given Belle the disks last time it would complete but I wasn't certain until I used the map to dig up the box on Crescent Island and give it to her. I did get my commendation and my hat so it all worked out. But losing that map with the server migration is a gut punch I'll never forget.

It blows my mind that my memories of first jumping into this game... The laughing... The amazement, the discovery... Just laying my eyes on this beautiful game Was SIX YEARS AGO. My gosh. Time really does go by way too quickly. Enjoy it while it's here people. Let's stop the complaints about EVERY LITTLE BUG in the game. I promise you, once this game is gone, all you'll have is your memories of the funnest pirate game ever made. Thank you Sea of Thieves

Waiting for his vid on the preview event

Ranking the tall tales would be cool, especially since we now know there’s probably not a new one for a while

The only adventure I was able to participate in was the last one, with Le Chunk, as I only started playing in June 2023. It's a shame we won't get any adventures back as tall tales or else. Having a vague idea about adventures from YT videos, I'd really like to see some of them return in a replayable form. At the very least the Herald of the Flame and the Shrouded Ghost. The Herald of the Flame becasue it's de facto a sequel to two existing tall tales and the story I was able to play feels like it lacks a proper ending without it (plus we all love trilogies). And the Shrouded Ghost feels like a really epic battle with the ships joining and my very favoutite piece of soundtrack in the game (which I never was able to actually hear in-game 😅). And before anyone asks, yes, I know that this Shrouded Ghost doesn't give the commendation :P

2.20 that's me! That adventure was awful, I had a bunch of tdm'ers all over my ship, realised hey that's AshinyRay, oh wait not anymore. 😢

Man I really wish for another lost sands event. More stuff like that would be insane rp wise

Hunter's cry was the best one. It was almost like arena. Lots of people fighting it out at the same time. I wish adventures were just PVP events the whole time, would've been the best thing ever, maybe even ecliplsing arena. The worst one... kinda hard actually. I had some amount of fun doing all of them just because adventures meant that I knew 100% where to find other people to fight at all times. I think the worst one was the one with the siren shrines, it's not very fun if the other shio doesn't resist because the crew is underwater.

Consider that I missed out on the Hungering Deep Event, I loved the Shrouded Deep. There was so much going on and it being a massive battle and being able to team up with another crew or two it was a blast and let's be honest, it had one of the best music scores in the SoT. Lost Sands was the best community event and brought everyone together to decide the fate of Golden Sands. It was fun to see how everyone was coming up with ideas to increase the score. Being with team Merrick, there were a lot of rum stacks I did with so many people from all over the world.
