Playing Open Crew in\u00a0Sea of\u00a0Thieves,\u00a0explained Whenever my friends in Sea of Thieves are offline, I usually try out Open Crew as my sanity permits. On a good day, I'd have the privilege of getting people in my Crew who listen to every word of mine, and we flawlessly complete quests and divide the treasure. However, on a bad day, you might get someone who will mess around and sink your boat in no time. If you're lucky,\u00a0you'll get crew mates with a microphone in Open Crew.\u00a0Otherwise,\u00a0most\u00a0casual players only communicate through chat.\u00a0Do expect the sprinkle of toxicity if things go south when other pirates are suddenly raiding you. Conversely, having a Closed Crew protects your progress by not letting any random person meddle with your progress. Also, you can utilize synergies whenever your Crew is attacked, giving you an upper hand at sea battles against randoms.\u00a0 All in all,\u00a0if you want to spend some time messing around in the game, you can choose Open Crew and maybe make some friends along the way.\u00a0It's unpredictable, but that in itself can make it fun to find the right sort of strangers to cooperate with.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ar5jj-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1212707"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2041"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1212707"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1212707\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1212828,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1212707\/revisions\/1212828"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1212708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1212707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1212707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1212707"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1212707"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1212707"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1212707"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1212707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
