    @BBT_23 @SeaOfThieves I agree with you man,this game has enough cosmetics,and I will hate this game if they keep adding this useless thing 5 seasons and we haven't seen a real event since pirate life, I will be glad if they fix the bugs and problems instead of adding cosmetics

  • undrrtedx alex (@undrrtedx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so instead if fixing any of the bugs in this game, you decided to let me name my ship? something that should have been added 4 years ago, the game gets more unplayable after each update. i hope you guys can learn to be a decent dev company and fix this **** game. 👍

  • MC_Phoenix161 Phoenix The Firebird (@MC_Phoenix161) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Nolimitcosplay Same here. Unfortunately I haven't been playing lately due to lag issues.

  • SymbolofNope Symbol of Nope (@SymbolofNope) reported

    @SeaOfThieves you know whats ok? Losing as a solo sloop to a larger ship straight up. You know whats not ok? Getting booted from the server in the middle of that david vs goliath battle after 45 minutes of buildup back and forth. Fix your ******* trash servers.

  • Bite_Size_Pixel Veech (@Bite_Size_Pixel) reported

    @SeaOfThieves now fix hit reg

  • PugulusP Pugulus (@PugulusP) reported

    @HLariash @SeaOfThieves So it adds really nothing and fixes none of the problems great.

  • ThatDarnTabaxi Tabaxi the Sea Rat (@ThatDarnTabaxi) reported

    I got screwed out of a successful run of art of the trickster due to a checkpoint glitch...I had the vault key and the checkpoint. got wacked by a trap while leaving...so I cancel the tall tale to get the key to my ship faster. nope.... #SeaOfThieves #madge

  • WoWDraig WoW Nerd (@WoWDraig) reported

    @Shaky52322289 @RmY2410 @SeaOfThieves He is correct though, it's a puny amount of content that doesn't address any of the issues in the game, except the "cash-in points" but that needs more elaboration.

  • JavierZ35383655 Javier Zelaya (@JavierZ35383655) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Bro please fix Your servers i just wanna pvp but the lag spikes mess me up please @SeaOfThieves

  • TheRealLaw69 Ian Laws 🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴‍☠️ (@TheRealLaw69) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'll be sailing with Elden Ring as the black screens when playing SOT are ridiculous at the minute, sat for 3 mins+ waiting to load back in multiple times over the last few weeks, running a series x so it should be instant. Hopefully there's a fix soon as the game is unplayable.

  • oukingk KingKeenan (@oukingk) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How long are the servers going to be down for? Currently running into the "Lavenderbeard" error

  • BeckyHyland8 Becky Hyland (@BeckyHyland8) reported

    @SeaOfThieves u guys having issues? as it's kicking me out back to my Xbox home screen

  • GH_Honamar Honamar the Hoarder (@GH_Honamar) reported

    Anyone else got that weird bug sometime that whenever you touch the water you're blocked from turning right and left, so you can only look up and down? The only way so far to fix it is alt+f4ing to being able to rejoin my previous session but dang if it's boring. #SeaOfThieves

  • MagnusFortisYT 👺 (@MagnusFortisYT) reported

    @WhoIsDCcapital @SeaOfThieves Good news is, the game is at least 6 months out and there's time to fix stuff but I really don't want this to be a typical Bethesda launch. The game is too big for modders to fix.

  • CaptainViserion Captain Viserion | The Fallen Ferryman (@CaptainViserion) reported

    @Jumper92PL @SeaOfThieves Name it “trouble the cat”.

  • PugulusP Pugulus (@PugulusP) reported

    @SeaOfThieves So instead of fixing hit reg or bringing the servers back up to 6 ships we get more cosmetic garbage added on to a broken game....thanks Rare what a waste of time.
