MixelPlx (@MixelPlx) reported@SergioJasonPina @SeaOfThieves what in the hell did you buy sea of thieves for, a multiplayer live service game? 🤯
-
Artist of Thieves (@ArtistofThieves) reported@shenanigoon @SeaOfThieves People crashing out because of cosmetics, are just as cringe, as people that want them to be angry for no reason. Why do you want to cause an outrage, from people that did nothing wrong? You have issues man. Get a grip!

Frank Estes (@FrankEstess) reported@SeaOfThieves Man I want my content even if it's broken just fix it in hot patches I seriously never seen a company that never ever uses hot patches to update mid game for small tweaks

Europa OfAsguard (@EuropaofAsgard) reported@AkuUkaa @SeaOfThieves Don't worry. James Thomas said in a Nov. 2024 podcast they're putting a team together to look at the merchant supply crate bug. Even when we report bugs, they respond quickly to fix them right? Right?
-
Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reported@DalannaPlays @SeaOfThieves Regardless of what happened tonight Streamer mode should be a thing anyway for basic protection... It's a common thing on other games. Post wasn't entirely about Peanut though, its been a issue for multiple creators for 8 Years..

PELL 365 (@pell_colin) reported@SeaOfThieves The deed for act one for damaging someone with a cannonball in a faction battle is not working, I’ve damaged people multiple times and even killed someone with one, any chance we can get this addressed when possible? Thank you!
-
Maddie D. (@Madymaddie9) reported@SeaOfThieves Can you fix your freakishly toxic player base?? I just got spawn killed a dozen times and got hit with "this is the point of the game" playing this game is exhausting. I can't even enjoy the thing you've added because im tok busy getting run up on by sweats
-
Remz_get-_-down (@RemzGetDown_) reported@JackieChann87 @SeaOfThieves Yeah thats the issue, ashen keys should only spawn at emergent Garrisons
-
LameJame (@JeffOfCaelid) reported@leoleon2leau @SeaOfThieves No, you have absolutely ZERO idea what you're talking about. Unreal 5 is worse than what we have. What you're effectively saying is that a unicycle does better than a broken bike.

TWEENGO (@tweengo1) reported@EliEelEye @SeaOfThieves Region locked for me even though I'm in the uk and got the sails no problem.

MagmaBoots (@MagmaBoots) reportedIs it just me, or is everyone experiencing terrible frame drops in #SeaOfThieves lately? I have a pretty decent PC setup, but my frames are dying whenever I’m fighting a Burning Blade or completing Ashen Garrisons. The lag when opening barrels and crates seems to be back as well. Looking back at old game clips, it used to run smooth as butter. Will it ever feel that way again? @SoT_Support
-
AlexAngelliux (@AlexAngelliux) reported@SeaOfThieves this is, without a doubt, one of the worst update videos ever. by any major live service title. how anyone, at any level, thought any of these decisions were good, is beyond me.
-
Wermux (@Wermux) reported@2old4stream @SeaOfThieves And what's funny, players are always vocal about this. Yet Rare just ignores all the feedback, does as they want, sends another missed the mark video, tries to fix things and comes up with next stupid idea. Every single time

Blue Field Above (@BlueFieldAbove) reported@SeaOfThieves You reset my doubloons. I am struggling to find out why you think that means I would want to return to the game? Can anybody on the dev team explain that to me? Why would I slog through your broken matchmaking system and buggy servers just to earn what I had, back?

DKSuperVikingDK (@DKSuperVikingDK) reported@SeaOfThieves Not double xp rate please fix it 🥲

Copper (@Coppertailwolf) reported@SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves The black and white is signal enough. I can’t believe that made it to a more prominent side of hourglass. I imagine that’s wildly triggering to a lot of people with any form of inner ear issue or sensitivity. Like who wants one long high pitch tone in your ear for 5 mins. Even if you don’t have sensory issues absolutely no one likes that haha

EthCorsair (@Eth_Corsair) reportedThe sea has a way of turning simple plans into long nights. It started plain enough. Just the two of us on a sloop, sails trimmed and pockets empty, heading out with the simple thought of running a few garrisons and seeing what fortune the night might offer. The water was calm, the sort of calm that usually means trouble is waiting somewhere ahead. The first garrison came into view through the haze of the horizon, but we weren’t the first to arrive. A galleon sat there already four pirates busy with the fort. I shot over from the sloop, landing quiet at the top to scout things out. Word was these forts sometimes hid a smuggler’s black powder keg. A nasty piece of work if used right. I searched around the island but couldn’t find it… until I looked up. There it was. Those poor fools had hauled the keg all the way up into their crow’s nest like a trophy. Probably thought it was safe there. I started taking shots from the island, trying to knock it loose, but the angle was wrong. Cannon ***** smacked wood and rope, but the keg wouldn’t go. My crewmate decided to do things the hard way. He fired himself out of the cannon toward their ship. Halfway through the air still sailing through the sky like a ragged comet he shot the harpoon. Somehow he caught the keg straight from the crow’s nest and dragged it down with him as he slammed onto their deck. A second later the whole galleon erupted. The blast threw splinters and pirates alike across the deck. By the time the smoke cleared he’d cut down all four of them in the chaos. Their ship sank fast, slipping beneath the water like it had never belonged there. We finished the fort without much trouble after that. Rather than move on, we sailed a short distance off to let the garrison reset so we could run it again. While we waited, sails appeared on the horizon. Same galleon. They came back hungry. We tried the keg trick again, but this time fate wasn’t interested. The powder slipped into the water and vanished before it could do any good. After that it turned into a long, stubborn fight. For nearly an hour we traded blows. Sometimes we had them dead in the water masts down, deck full of holes. Then somehow they’d recover, patch up, and swing the fight back the other way. Cannon fire cracked across the waves. Boards, repairs, missed shots, lucky shots. Over and over. Neither side would leave. Eventually I went for a board while they were busy trading cannon fire with my crewmate. I climbed their ladder unnoticed and dropped onto the deck. Steel did the rest. Four pirates fell in quick succession to the sword. By the time they realized what had happened, my crewmate had them locked in a death circle with the cannons tearing their ship apart. After that I only saw one of them return from the Ferry of the Damned. The rest never came back. I reckon they’d had enough of the night. The galleon sank for the second time. We sailed back to the garrison hoping to finish what we started… only to find the whole place glitched to the depths. No completion. No treasure. Our first stack lost to whatever strange curse the sea had placed on the fort. So we did what pirates do when fortune turns strange. We sailed for Morrow’s Peak Outpost and sold the Reaper flags we’d taken from the galleon. A small victory, but better than empty hands. While we were there, we spotted a brigantine messing around at the northern garrison. Curiosity got the better of us. We sailed over to see what they were about. The moment they realized we were coming, panic set in. They cut and ran, diving beneath the waves to escape after a short skirmish. But in their hurry they left something behind. A pile of treasure bigger than anything we’d earned all night, a MEGA stash! We hauled it aboard piece by piece under the dim lantern light, the sea quiet again at last. Not a bad way to end a long fight. #BeMorePirate #SeaOfThieves

Smoke (@SmokeBeardTV) reported@SeaOfThieves is now switching up again, the doubloon cutlass is free as long as youve earned 50k doubloons in your lifetime (sorry new and casual players, sot just flipped you the bird) its almost like if they stop resetting doubloons we wouldn’t have any of these problems
