  • TheSnackCake Alrighty (@TheSnackCake) reported

  • connor49180069 connor (@connor49180069) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR SERVERS pls it takes an hour just to get in

  • WoodOxen WoodOx (@WoodOxen) reported

    @Taaaaamas @SeaOfThieves I kinda want the whole ship to give off the air of " how the heck is that broken monstrosity afloat and sailing?" Not sure why I want a junker ship but I think it's a fun aesthetic.

  • Commando1C Crayola Commando (@Commando1C) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves when are you guys going to fix the spawn killing issue

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @emilyyjadee_ @SeaOfThieves @MmmCherryade Lol no the problem isn't mine. It's yours. You are one acting like the only possible player interaction that counts as such is attacking each other. It's common in those who came late, followed streamers to the game. That's not what SoT started as.

  • JoshIsBB Laird of Lochaber (@JoshIsBB) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Allmondbeard trouble, yall got any tips?

  • Gargomon251 Gargomon251 (@Gargomon251) reported

    @HxC_FallenDream @SeaOfThieves I'm not sure what that error is but I've never seen it once

  • RobinPM100 RobinPM100 (@RobinPM100) reported

    @SeaOfThieves guys, can you fix screen tearing in Sea of thieves Xbox Series X 4k 60 fps? It is horrible! Does this AMD graphics chip handle adaptive vsync? Do something about it, thanks

  • bartho1omeus Bartho1omeus (@bartho1omeus) reported

    @SeaOfThieves When I log onto the insider build I get denimbeard. When I try to login to the website I get the message I'm permantly banned. I don't see any reason why I got banned. Can you please remove this? Thank you in advance.

  • RhiaWetherup Rhiannon @StoreUpdate LIIIIIVE! (Comms OPEN) (@RhiaWetherup) reported

    I woke up super late today, being having some trouble sleeping and staying up late last night didn't help xD (worth it for my first game of @SeaOfThieves in a week). But I've eaten, replied to some messages and I'm gonna go for a walk and its to work for me!

  • Plecotuz Dr Nefari0us (@Plecotuz) reported

    @QrtrMasterFilth @SeaOfThieves If we dont talk about the problems they wont fix them, rare have shown that they dont care time and time again, for instance and the most simple reason being hit reg, 3 years and still no fix. Im allowed to be angry at a team for running something i love into the ground

  • riv6l Robby〆 (@riv6l) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd can you guys like, ban players who actually DPI glitch in Arena, oh and also the discord alliances? kinda stupid if you ask me and takes the fun out of the game.

  • EddieThe_Bear Eddie Kvammen (@EddieThe_Bear) reported

    @suchatilter @SeaOfThieves They're aware of it. They would fix it if it was easy to fix. Invent an original comment/opinion and I might listen to you.

  • rcasale42 Bellicose (@rcasale42) reported

    @EddieThe_Bear @suchatilter @SeaOfThieves I liked this sail a lot. They should fix hit reg.

  • QrtrMasterFilth Quartermaster Filth™ ☠️ (@QrtrMasterFilth) reported

    @Plecotuz @SeaOfThieves I would have thought that them doing a really nice, really cool thing for you would at least mean you'd have the courtesy to not be a **** about the problems you have with the game or the problems the game has. /

  • HxC_FallenDream BPH Wussie (@HxC_FallenDream) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hazelnutbeard emote is the best cause it happens every 2 hours automatically. Force quit game, play for 2 more hours then Hazelnutbeard emote. Rinse and repeat. PLZ FIX. it's been months dealing with this.

  • T_xLadyLunax Luna 🦄 (@T_xLadyLunax) reported

  • Chris_NYI8 Chris (@Chris_NYI8) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are there issues with servers the last few days? Myself and friends struggle to join a server, takes minimum 10 minutes.

  • QrtrMasterFilth Quartermaster Filth™ ☠️ (@QrtrMasterFilth) reported

    @Plecotuz @SeaOfThieves / Do I have problems with the game? Sure! Do I tell the Devs I think SoT should be dead in 6 months and that they do **** all? I don't see how that helps anyone hahaha

  • 2DownGaming Geovanie Legend (@2DownGaming) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Log entries are lagging behind by minutes to even an hour or more, perhaps refresh the servers or figure out whats going on??

  • M95C1 M95C (@M95C1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I delivered all my treasures but i didnt get any reward. Its the second time that this happend. Please fix it, because is not fun to play like this

  • HxC_FallenDream BPH Wussie (@HxC_FallenDream) reported

    @Gargomon251 @SeaOfThieves Appears to be a connection issue to the game servers. This error usually follows strange in-game behavior such as chests that cannot be opened, skeletons that cannot be killed, or random ship placement. Can occur shortly after you sink an enemy player ship ...for unknown reasons.

  • therealpricey Andy Price 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚡️ (@therealpricey) reported

    I couldn't get the @SeaOfThieves stream up last night due to sound issues. I think they have been sorted and fixed now. Testing seems to be good.

  • suchatilter Jake Peralta (@suchatilter) reported

    @EddieThe_Bear @SeaOfThieves İ'm not going anywhere until they fix that problem...

  • TheDrKrazy DrKrazy PHD in Trickery (@TheDrKrazy) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I am having long "Searching the Seas" load times on #XboxSeriesX is this a Xbox issue or SoT issue?? @XboxSupport

  • Aliquem Aliquem (@Aliquem) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Only VRChat folks will get this one :P If a sloop like that sailed up to you, expect it to lag you hard and possibly disconnect you from a server as it shot beach ***** at you.
