Keelhauled: A Sea of Thieves Podcast

Ep. 342 Uncooked Season with the Gold Hoarders

This week in Sea of Thieves, I sat down with the Gold Hoarders to chat about the season so far. It's a rough time out on the seas, and honestly, with many of the features turned off and the game still having issues, it's hard to find the desire to go sailing. This week, I wanted to take some time to propose some ideas about the tools we do have in the game and what I think can be changed to make them more impactful.

Ep. 341 Season 14 Grapples, Blowpipes, and No Traps

This week in Sea of Thieves, Season 14 is here, and while not everything is launching right away there's still a lot to go over with the new weapons introduced. I congratulate Craig Duncan, Joe Neate, and Jim Horth on their promotions within and outside the studio. It's time to tear down the patch notes and talk about first impressions on what's good, bad, and needs some work.

This week in Sea of Thieves it's time to share our experiences with the Community weekend and also to talk about how hard it was for many of us to deal with the repercussions of a patch coming in days before a Community weekend. It's an interesting chat about what the goal of Insiders is as well as things the team at Rare are looking to do to help with problems this latest patch has created.

Ep. 335 Gold Hoarders on Blunderbuss Changes

This week we dive into the patch notes that have the recent changes to the Burning Blade encounter as well as the functionality changes to the Blunderbuss. It's interesting to discuss options for people and if this change came too soon given the reason for the shift in meta for PVP on smaller ships. All that and more on this week's episode!

Ep. 334 Fishing with Caleb

This week in Sea of Thieves, we try something a little different. See Caleb wanted to try out fishing in Sea of Thieves while we have one of our normal definitely not heated conversations about not-hot-topics about the game. We decided to jump into Safer Seas and talk Season 13, Adventures, World Events, dynamic ship type switching and the one thing I didn't notice about Skeleton Camps. Jump in and enjoy the conversation as we sit around and catch fish.

Ep. 333 Is The Blunderbuss Dead?

This week in Sea of Thieves we are covering the latest Sea of Thieves news video as well as the Ashen Expedition event. Both are hot topics but not for the same reason. There's a ton of stuff going on and I am curious what you all think about the death of the Blunderbuss.
