  • AndyLoneWolfDK Andy Lone Wolf 🐺 (@AndyLoneWolfDK) reported

    @SeaOfThieves are you aware that your PVP system is broken that it promotes greifing so why not make sure people have a flag raised that consents PVP

  • Jemusurobato James Lawrence (@Jemusurobato) reported

    @ixdannyx @SeaOfThieves Anything to drown it out, I suppose. More players will make it look like it's not an issue. Well, it certainly grew. That's for sure.

  • SlackSystemTV SlackSystemTV formerly CatMeSomeSlack (@SlackSystemTV) reported

    @NVIDIAGeForce @SeaOfThieves Sea of Thieves is listed on the NVIDIA freestyle filter supported game list but it says "A supported game is required" when I try and I have found only reports of it not working for others as well. Is it or isn't it supported?

  • Sltc_Hippo pipite (@Sltc_Hippo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves still buggy flables, crash at the very end so fable not validated

  • ESCViking _______ (@ESCViking) reported

  • BlackStaRonin BlackStaRonin (@BlackStaRonin) reported

    Hey @RareLtd and @SeaOfThieves you guys really need to Nerf the amount of phantoms and ocean crawlers that spawn mobs or limit the amount of pve enemies that spawn because trying to fight a horde of pve enimies all together like that is BROKEN. there's way too many please fix it

  • MrDekra Andy (@MrDekra) reported

    @taternuggets @Phantom65986947 @SeaOfThieves Yep I understand your point of view. I'm a big fan..paid retail for the game, not gamepass. However some recognition from the team about the game breaking issues instead of asking people to share nice pictures on twitter would be far better until they fix the mess

  • Uchi_Xinju Uchi Xinju (@Uchi_Xinju) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Used to love playing this game, decided to get back into it. I am locked out by the Lavenderbeard error, and I've tried reinstalling multiple times. I've tried every supposed trick online and I'm still locked out of the game.

  • ESCViking _______ (@ESCViking) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the chest

  • MrDekra Andy (@MrDekra) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so disappointed with the Jack sparrow update, my friend and I have had so many issues with it, from items glitching out to not being able to walk through barriers in the underwater level. Replayed the same level 4 times and had to just give up.

  • PRS_Cajun #Cajun (@PRS_Cajun) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Tall Tale 2 story and audio 10/10; execution of tall tale 1/10 (broken, glitchy, and just basically killing players over and over trying to find your way around.

  • ChrisGaming86 Chris.Gaming (@ChrisGaming86) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the screen tearing in the 4k 60 mode on series x. Stopped playing because of it. Just reduce the resolution to 1800p or add drs

  • NotAdamAvery Adam Avery (@NotAdamAvery) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the sunken pearl chest bug!

  • OleMa88 YukiMa88 (@OleMa88) reported

    @CommsBreak @SeaOfThieves agreed, i have the problem i press buttons to hard when i hold it in, so i get relly tierd, but a lot of the time they are very convinient optios as well >w<.

  • lajlnv2 The pain I feel when I lightmode (@lajlnv2) reported

    @sillybunt5 @SeaOfThieves It's all broken but kinda worth pushing through except for the incredibly lackluster ending

  • Aitor_Arus Aitor (@Aitor_Arus) reported

    @allyhumphreys @SeaOfThieves Problem

  • aBoonBag Boon (@aBoonBag) reported

    @sstaccwil @SeaOfThieves Had to fight off a brig and two sloops while doing a fort while offering an alliance. People just want to crash and burn rather than do the event, it seems. 🙃

  • whybotherwithem cant.configure.username.name (@whybotherwithem) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I had to take a vreak due to a glitch in the first part when I went to pick up the keys from the dog for the cage. The dog fully disapeared so i had to restart the whole thing... I dont know if I will get back to the game after that.

  • Jagerninja Andrew Webb (@Jagerninja) reported

    @RareLtd @JoeNeate1 loved the new content but had a huge issue on 2nd Tall Tale for Pirates of the Caribbean content. Had 8 Hazlenutbeard errors which meant over an hour of swimming from the ship to just get back in and an invisible Kraken boss fight! #SeaOfThieves

  • Phantom65986947 Phantom (@Phantom65986947) reported

    @MrDekra @taternuggets @SeaOfThieves Unlucky you I guess, I had a problem with it not generating properly but that’s because other crews were there I just quit the tall tale and reloaded the tale checkpoint, had all the commendations done over 5 days (1 hour per day) don’t let the tiny things get you down I guess

  • Kingsnhl11 Ian Pay (@Kingsnhl11) reported

    @OffhandDisney Play the 3rd episode of @SeaOfThieves pirate life if you really want some Disneyland fan service.....

  • MrDekra Andy (@MrDekra) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Should I share the uninstall screen since it's badly broken and unplayable??

  • pottanist Pottanist (@pottanist) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Will the animal colour changing issue be addressed?

  • Movat3 Movat (@Movat3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves seriously the PvP match making is broken I sat for a hour waiting on a game when my Mrs told me I was falling asleep. Sea of thieves has some of the most toxic lobbies

  • ixdannyx danny🎮 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (@ixdannyx) reported

    @Jemusurobato @SeaOfThieves Yeah but it's those people who need to belittle others to feel better about they're own self worth, rare could fix the issue very easily but they don't care, they're getting $$$
