  • Pumgumgum Pumgumgum (@Pumgumgum) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so I watched your Podcast Episode #5, where you discuss how guns hit-reg works and why it might fail. But, at no point do you explain why the sword has issues? I was wondering what were the reasons behind that problem and if the solution presented will also fix it?

  • D3monWo1f Demon (@D3monWo1f) reported

    @IvyDicey @Capt_Ballzonia @SeaOfThieves Yea I also see tons of people having issues with it too. Which imo is ridiculous. It’s only a cosmetic. It’s not the same skin. Like The Ferryman sword I feel like they will reskin it in the future, would I care? No lol. It’s just a video game cosmetic. No advantage at all.

  • goofy_fellow that_goofy_fellow (@goofy_fellow) reported

    @GGolddennn @SeaOfThieves And you have the perfect recipe for people blowing off their steam against this team of incompetent developers. Hit reg has been an issue since launch but they are only now working on ACTUALLY fixing it?! People have every right to be angry with Rare and the devs

  • Flamegardz Flamegardz (@Flamegardz) reported

    @braxos86 @SeaOfThieves Yeah the 240 wins on a dead game mode where half of the ships disconnect and you can pick up a box and put on an galleon for a free win. Yeah that exact grind.

  • invader__alu invader alu (@invader__alu) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix reaper hopping with full supplies, that **** is way too OP and not how the game supposed to work. You remove exploits like fast digging and bucketing but allow this?

  • ryantheleach ryan leach (@ryantheleach) reported

    @braxos86 @SeaOfThieves I've earned this set. The design is meaningless and should never have been locked behind this comm. This comm deserved it's own sea dog based set. It's another instance of rare being blind to the issues of "splitting sets" like obsidian set etc

  • Gilli_GilliTTV Gilli_Gilli (@Gilli_GilliTTV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves: *says literally anything* Baby Pirates 🍼: oMG fiX hIT rEg aLreAdY

  • AlphaX3069 Alpha (@AlphaX3069) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are the the servers down now? I keep getting a lavenderbeard error and can't play

  • MrFreakyStyley MrFreakyStyley (@MrFreakyStyley) reported

    The @SeaOfThieves community right now really is at a awfully low point...right before a new season too. First we had arena closing, then the good boy ship set, then the server issues and now some weapon cosmetics... Everyone needs to chill out and remember it's just a game.

  • TimTimWoW TimTim (@TimTimWoW) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I haven't been able to buy anything, including currency, in the pirate emporium in over a week. This a known issue? I've logged in and out thats about it to fix it myself

  • PersonalC0ffee PersonalC0ffee (@PersonalC0ffee) reported

    @Gloombeard @SeaOfThieves Knockback was the issue and their high damage.

  • Pumgumgum Pumgumgum (@Pumgumgum) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Honestly, how long does it take for a team of developers to fix a hit-reg? It's been six years, get a move on, we'll need to change this soon.

  • TreadwellBgames Charlotte Smith (@TreadwellBgames) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves we just got booted out of the game with (marblebeard) errors, any ideas?

  • CapnAxe Cap'n Axe (@CapnAxe) reported

    @RadTempest @SeaOfThieves It was on the Arena post. Looks like it's been swapped for the black chains photo though and was an error.

  • sprtjnky Anywho (@sprtjnky) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Glad to see this. Arena was so broken and couldn't be bothered to grind for these. Rare is doing the right thing.

  • s3lfmade_josh zeus 405 (@s3lfmade_josh) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Heres my problem bro i was one of the first pl and to get that BLUNDER bust you had to be pl 1 year not only did @RareLtd punch all the arena players that worked had to get tge rest of the set

  • BlueGunzz Blue (@BlueGunzz) reported

    @HalanSin @SeaOfThieves Takes a couple minutes to tweet this, takes a lot longer to fix bugs, and its almost like they have one person that handles this account and probably doesn’t fix bugs, think before you tweet ******** like this

  • ParagonNova13 Paragon Nova (@ParagonNova13) reported

    @SeaOfThieves COULD YALL LIKE FIX THE ******* KEG SKELLY SPAWNS!?! YOU ABSOLUTE GARBAGE CANS HAVE 6 KEG SKELLYS SPAWNING ALL AT ONCE ON A GOD DAMN BLACK POWDER KEG. WHAT KIND OF ******* SENSE DOES THAT MAKE RARE, BUNCH OF ******* MORONS

  • watchTotalBlank TotalBlank (@watchTotalBlank) reported

    @imaidiotWill @H2OAcidic @SeaOfThieves This is the problem with Games as a Service. They are designed to force you to login for bonuses (daily, weekly, monthly) and progression tasks/quests and a **** ton of bloat to keep you working mundane tasks for minimal improvements. Not enough people seem to care though.

  • Kittentopia ksea (@Kittentopia) reported

    @SeaOfThieves honestly, how long does it take you to fix hitreg? it's been 3 years. we'll need to change this soon.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @StrestL @SeaOfThieves Pretty much every other game with seasons or battlepasses updates about once every 3 months, and they don't usually have to deal with as much compatibility issues of open world, crossplay and active events all the time

  • invader__alu invader alu (@invader__alu) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix reaper hopping with full supplies, that **** is way too OP and not how the game supposed to work. You remove exploits like fast digging and bucketing but allow this?

    @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves 240 wins in dead game mode where half of the ships disconnect and you can take a box to a galleon and get a win.

  • Just_Morwen Morwen (@Just_Morwen) reported

    HazelnutBeard or any Beard Error that happens in the middle of an arena match through no fault of the player should not count against you towards the DeMarco! We can’t control the game kicking us out, stop punishing us for trying to play! @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • Attackturkey Attackturkey (@Attackturkey) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Looks like a problem with Melee Banana Hit Detection: "In areas of intense banana, players may find themselves firing shots or landing bites that do not cause damage to their targets."

  • GGolddennn Castaway Stealer 🏴‍☠️ (@GGolddennn) reported

    @goofy_fellow @SeaOfThieves Not saying you don’t have a right to be angry, and I’m a GIANT advocater for rare to fix hit reg, what im saying is it’s THEIR game so they can add what the want, crying about them adding a reskin to a weapon you grinded for is dumb, tell them actual criticism

  • DecalPrnd Prnd Decal (@DecalPrnd) reported

    @SeaOfThieves #seaofthieves fix game m8 i just sat on a black screen for a min and a half on a series x

  • JerseyDee22 Damon Heyer (@JerseyDee22) reported

    @SeaOfThieves My god people just can't help but still complain lol if you did the grind you still have the legit PL weapons so wtf is the problem lol. I enjoyed my grind in arena, if you didn't is cuz your not very good at the game

  • BetterBhvr BetterBHVR (@BetterBhvr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’m more annoyed that they’re closing arena in the first place. The arena would have been more played if they fixed the matchmaking issues, added more modes that could be voted on in the tavern (TDM on islands), and done some arena events. They killed arena with their apathy.

  • frankcasillas50 Frank (@frankcasillas50) reported

    @invader__alu @SeaOfThieves If they fix it crews that portal hop would probably lower flag and find a new server faster than portal hopping since it takes over 5 minutes
