The video discusses the new "Safer Seas" mode in *Sea of Thieves*, which introduces a PVE (player versus environment) option, contrasting with the traditional PVP (player versus player) experience, now called "High Seas". Safer Seas offers a private, no-PVP environment, appealing to players wanting to avoid conflicts with others. However, this mode has significant limitations, such as slower earning of gold and reputation, a reputation cap at level 40, and the unavailability of certain factions, events, and features like Athena’s Fortune, Reaper’s Bones, and PVP-focused activities. The speaker critiques these limitations, emphasizing that new players miss out on learning crucial strategies and behaviors from PVP interactions, which are essential for mastering the game. They advise using available guides and resources for those transitioning to High Seas, highlighting the importance of preparation for a more challenging gameplay experience.

In this part of the video, the host discusses the newly introduced mode in Sea of Thieves called Safer Seas, which provides a PVE (player versus environment) option as opposed to the traditional PVP (player versus player) experience in the main mode, now referred to as High Seas. Safer Seas offers a private, no-PVP experience, catering to players who prefer to play without the threat of other players. Key differences include slower earning of gold and reputation (70% reduced), no access to emissaries, and a cap on faction reputation at level 40, making it impossible to achieve the Pirate Legend status in this mode. Despite these limitations, players can switch between Safer Seas and High Seas anytime, with shared saved data.
