    @Jerec_Gaming @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves i know right?! I only wanted to login for my Twitch drops. guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow?

  • CTMiniManiac CTMiniManiac (@CTMiniManiac) reported

    @Game7DS @SeaOfThieves Pretty sure it is an EAC issue and not a sot issue cause I have the same problem on Apex and other games that use EAC. Only solution I've found that works is restarting PC (which sucks) If ya find something that works (other than restarting PC), please lmk

  • CaptMcGuffin Captain McGuffin #SoTFestV (@CaptMcGuffin) reported

    @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves I completely forgot fort of the damned isn't like this anymore. But my issue then it's that this fort even though it is by activation, doesn't have a unique feel to it gameplay wise, like the Fort of the damned has. Even Reaper's Fortresses have an enough deviation

  • LoonieToque LoonieToque (@LoonieToque) reported

    @SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves Yes, but not entirely because of the new system. It's just a lot of friction to prepare a successful report, and my last few were all "sent to the security team" (AKA they didn't issue any points/suspensions) so it's been a waste of effort 🫤

  • Foxy_Fox_21 Roxie (@Foxy_Fox_21) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @youtooz Anything but resolving there cheater problem

  • NorthernLawYT NorthernLaw (@NorthernLawYT) reported

    @SergioJasonPina @SeaOfThieves Subscription service is ridiculous no matter how you put it. Paying to play the game? No thanks. Never heard of that but hopefully I never hear it again, that sounds absolutely horrendous.

  • NJStud3 Dwaine (@NJStud3) reported

    FIX YOUR GOD DAMN SERVERS! 🙄🤬🤯 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves

  • JamesJaxon7 James Jaxon (@JamesJaxon7) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the game

  • MeMoreHuman Matthew Human (@MeMoreHuman) reported

    @MattTheCopyCat @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves It's crazy... Seems to be effecting only us players. We have mates in playing from UK with no issues

  • BrandanArnold2 Brandan Arnold (@BrandanArnold2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @scalmanati Fire Disney and fix your damn game. Or honestly just shut it down. Play counts show it don't matter either way anymore.

  • bigladyote yote (@bigladyote) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Yeah haha looks like Cyanbeard error 🤔

  • KALIKARMAZZ99 Kali Frost (@KALIKARMAZZ99) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your ******* game for once instead of doing garbage *** updates I'm tired of everything being cheaters or double gunning sweats using quick swap while on PC and bc I'm on Xbox I can't use it I just wanna play my damn pirate game

  • Peatee182 Slovak_Fella (@Peatee182) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Pringles Fix your anticheat before you do pvp related event, it's so unplayable - 30% of HG fights on sloop are blatant cheaters

  • Dawhite06024385 Dawhite (@Dawhite06024385) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix bugs

  • chrislindsay Chris Lindsay (@chrislindsay) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Pve only servers or I'm not playing. I get my pvp fix elsewhere. Fun game to play with the wife but it's annoying to be attacked constantly. Ramp up the Pve difficulty. Let me team up with some other cool captains for some co-op. I'd play that. Safer seas isn't the answer.

  • Overtickzz Overtickzz (@Overtickzz) reported

    @Basire_Mariiin @SeaOfThieves I have the same issue

  • Peace_Through PeaceThroughStrength (@Peace_Through) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the Reputation in Hunters Call… haven’t been able to access it for two months

  • Dawhite06024385 Dawhite (@Dawhite06024385) reported

    @BetterBhvr @SeaOfThieves more player ships per server would mean more stable servers. Unless that isnt the case why stressing the servers more? Yeah adventure is dead but just overloading 1-2 servers isnt the fix. Idk if i need more weapons. I would see an increased crew size for galleon. Not for the res

  • LiquidVitriol Glorpshlorpin' Bussy (@LiquidVitriol) reported

    @Nikolai_S7 @SeaOfThieves A ship with no cannons at all lol Sounds great, why fight back fight? Just run away Running is the games biggest issue

  • MattLepers Matthieu (@MattLepers) reported

    @SeaOfThieves What's your problem with ship respawns taking up all the PvE of the world? You sink, you respawn, you restock, you take ALL the damn PvE from the entire game to the face during a PvP, what kind of unplayable game is this?!

  • xB0NAx B0NA (@xB0NAx) reported

    @SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves Because it's a live service and the options are few: either set a high price for the new cosmetics (and therefore cut off most casual players) or set a low price (and therefore miss the opportunity to bring some veterans back to the game).

  • jiMUTD1189 jiMUTD89 (@jiMUTD1189) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Servers down???

  • BlueFox138 Azaïs (@BlueFox138) reported

    @JoshAirey88 @SeaOfThieves Thats absolutely aN EAC issue. I had the exact same problem with SoT then with Dead by daylight when they added it. Update are breaking the game everytime, i sometime have to re-download the entire game to be able to play, connecting to a crew is hard, I hate EAC

  • NorthernLawYT NorthernLaw (@NorthernLawYT) reported

    @Morcath @SergioJasonPina @SeaOfThieves It was popular because it was a good game that they made worse and worse over the years due to not fixing problems that have been there since day 1, not following what the vast majority of the players wanted, etc.

  • KurtMacChevelu Kurt Mac Chevelu (@KurtMacChevelu) reported

    @SeaOfThieves servers are down, Kiwibeard error again and again...

  • Game7DS Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reported

    Has anyone else had a recent issue with @SeaOfThieves not closing down through Steam? I've tried the following suggested methods and nothings fixed this being a problem.. - Clearing Steam Cache - Task Manager closing - Restarting Steam (Exit completely and logging in again) It's a bit frustrating when there has been issues with this game for years that make you relaunch to fix specific bugs and you can't close the game unless you fully restart your PC. This has only been a issue for me since the most recent update. Placing a ticket but was curious how many others might be effected. #Seaofthieves

    @SeaOfThieves Server Down?

  • BowtieShyGuy Follow on Bluesky (@BowtieShyGuy) reported

    @alshamry1009 @SeaOfThieves It's probably a problem with the PS5 servers, but what you could try is fully signing out of your SoT (Xbox) account, then log back in.

  • Mikeperezalonso MikeleMAIKEN (@Mikeperezalonso) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please server down….. repair it.

  • noob76052507 NoName101 (@noob76052507) reported
