    @RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Same. I quit sot when they removed quickswap and made all combat clunky as a result of the fix, i will not come back to sot but i still follow the game, i played sot since 2018 until season 10 religiously, all my friends quit around that time too.

    @myweeweetinybro @SeaOfThieves Also much of my plight with CM was addressing the ban problems, which is still a problem. Blocking us for a negative opinion is bullocks.

    @SamuelTinsley4 @SeaOfThieves genuinely thought them not working last update was intended .. turns out it was not

    @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Removal from the website is good request... as far as the hat goes, a simple way to solve the that problem is to delete the game. If you really don't want to be associated with the game, then don't play it.

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves #Playstation5 #PS5 Your last update completely deleted my years of progress. Everything I owned and all my faction levels have been deleted. On top of that I am forced to re-sign in to my Microsoft account every single time I get on. Why bother playing now?

    Some @SeaOfThieves viewers/streamers really need a reality check on what cheating actually looks like. Watched a streamer get sniped 3x in an hour today. The fights were suspicious (insane air shots, constant mid-air hits, etc.), but the chat was screaming "cheater" for things that were easily debunked. Ladder speeds were normal on VOD, and "insta-kills" were just players not being full HP. It’s easy to lose cool live, but we have to analyze before we accuse. Grateful the streamer kept a level head. The REAL issue? Public sites still exist that track specific players and server ship counts. How is this still live after a months? Cloudflare should be handing over data for a lawsuit at this point. Hoping this reaches the right eyes. @ChappersChapman @S0nicbob

    @SeaOfThieves Claimed all the twitch drops, but for some reason the gloves and belt does not show up in the game. Any fix for that?

    @SeaOfThieves The fact that the game is this old and you guys still can't figure out how to release an update says something about the dev team. If I was this bad at my job, I definitely wouldn't have 19 seasons to fix it

    @surivSHANKS @ITZH4ZARD @SeaOfThieves The problem is not the orange association box, its the purple confirmed cheater box. No idea how they got that information though.

    @NessieDoes @SeaOfThieves @j0toro Since someone in a Bruno Files video is asking me to send proof of them knowing “everything”, I will clarify with this: When I said “they knew everything for a long time” I was alluding to the pig incident when I said that, which they did know about and deflected by turning their eyes away from it. The linked image below is a direct reference of proof for that. And by “they”, or “Employees” I mean Shirah and J0toro who are employed Community Managers working for Sea Of Thieves who were doing nothing about this issue, yet still endorsed and promoted Bruno

    @Kk123153210 @Giovann69642526 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, but this is not first not working update. They had more time, literally removed all the content from season 19 to makie this mode work and even moved it for a month later to release and it didnt work. Then, they release it again after more time and it has even more issues

    @SoT_Support @Jumper92PL @SeaOfThieves I'm seeing reports that yall are just literally ignoring tickets about this issue. And apparently the support people are removing the items cause they 'simply can't understand how someone can get all those items' even when shown they were reset and farmed the items. Do better

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Custom server is broken. You host a game and load in and 10 seconds in there is a connection error issue and you cant play custom seas. Please help. Regular adventure works no issues though.

    I can’t even put into words how disheartening it is to see #SeaOfThieves in the state it’s currently in. We have Community Managers behaving unprofessionally, Discord mods acting like they rule the world, and both think they're above the rest of us. United in censoring discussion around individuals who have absolutely ZERO place in this community and pose an actual threat to everyone in it. All while players are constantly being gaslit by those same CMs and mods into believing the community isn’t in complete disarray when it very clearly is. What makes this even worse is that these are the very people whose job is supposed to be upholding the community’s values, the Pirate Code, and Microsoft’s Terms of Service. But it feels like nothing is being enforced at all. Situations like this are 100% avoidable too. If the CM team had genuinely listened to the community and addressed these concerns and allegations early on and did something about it, things never would have reached this point. To be clear, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with the production or creative development side of the game. Please don't tag developers, artists, designers, or other team members into discussions they have no involvement in. Our criticism and calls to action are specifically directed at the community management side of Sea of Thieves. That team needs serious retraining, and a reevaluation of whether certain individuals even possess the requirements needed to continue representing the Sea of Thieves community in their current roles. I'm so tired of this, I just want to play the game man... @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd

    @KingHotdogPig @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Changing your profile picture and adding Star Citizen as a replacement game for Sot, hahaha. No one said Sot's conditions are great; in fact, S20 and up should have zero errors. But it doesn't do you credit to behave like this.

    @SeaOfThieves Can you fix the flag one already? When i hit start now it just takes me back to main screen on PC and mobile.

    The bug where you "Can't Grab" crates seems to exist in the Weekender Doubloon Run Voyage. If you can't grab the cargo.. Buying a captaincy item OR merchant supply crate SOMETIMES fixes the issue.. Not guaranteed every time unfortunately... The issue seems CONSISTENT at Crescent Isle specifically. Not sure if Plunder has issues or not and maybe got lucky. Hope the intel helps others! @Seaofthieves #SeaofThieves

    @squidkiller8781 @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves well look, cheaters aren't really a big problem now. There were less of them than the actual number of bugs. They made them "grind" to be able to play Hourglass, so most risks their main profile in the process or completely given up on playing with those. (Yes on PC)
