    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves This.....THIS!!!! THIS is why the game is ******* dying! Complete disconnect

    @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves That is what I mean by "not saying they are doing it correctly". First thing they should've done would've been put the people in question on leave until issues are pointed out. But then again, it's not the fault of most of the company. It's the fault of PR and also HR.

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves This is so bad. Almost as bad as when I was attacked for giving feedback in Alpha when the rainbow flag was put in the game. I thought it would cause issues for a game I loved, and it has. (That was a private forum) Yet it was shared all over Twitter and I was attacked brutally.

    @SeaOfThieves Claimed all the twitch drops, but for some reason the gloves and belt does not show up in the game. Any fix for that?

  • KingHotdogPig
    KingHotdogPig (@KingHotdogPig) reported

    @Musks_a_cunt @SeaOfThieves To protect players they should start by firing j0 and Shirah and updating their policies to better protect players. But that has nothing to do with the rest of the dev teams. The people building the game don’t control staffing or policy decisions. Expecting those people to stop working because of failures in another department isn’t right, and blaming them for issues they have no authority over makes all of us who have been talking about this look stupid. j0 has been actively deleting evidence during an ongoing investigation (which is illegal). And Shirah has been deleting peoples messages in the discord who speak up about this. That is who the community should be against.

    @BocaG @Christi19879853 @SeaOfThieves It would literally hurt no one to make safer seas the full experience or just having private severs. They say its PvP game but the PvP aspect is whats the problem. Outside of janky hit boxes, there's no natural progress in skill when it comes to PVP. Thr gap is huge.

    @SeaOfThieves Ok, sounds good, but you have to fix your community management structure first.

  • JustAPlayer37

    @SeaOfThieves I would go back to playing this game on Steam, But I have to sign in to my Xbox Account to play it and I can't be bothered. That though my Gmail Account. So I might as well get this game for my Xbox Console (Series X) with a different account.

  • Lotus_Koril
    Master (@Lotus_Koril) reported

    @RobertByron23 @SeaOfThieves Its 3 per player, which means up to 12 on a galleon. It takes more skill to use a blunderbuss then it does to use a bonecaller. And if you were a good player, you would be able to outplay the ladder guard, even with a blunderbuss. So yea, it a massive skill issue on youre side.

    @ToodleJerr3196 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Absolutely agree. Even with the actual game issues currently, I still have some hope for a future. But it's going to be very hard to trust Rare moving forward, and they are going to need to do some major work to gain player's trust back.

    @EvilMorpheus @SeaOfThieves Just tried again multiple times on PS5 only servers. Same issue. I times out with cinnamonbeard. I close the game and try again with no success. I open to crossplay, and I connect within minutes. Very frustrating.

    @Kk123153210 @Giovann69642526 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, but this is not first not working update. They had more time, literally removed all the content from season 19 to makie this mode work and even moved it for a month later to release and it didnt work. Then, they release it again after more time and it has even more issues

    @SeaOfThieves Big surprise sea of thieves is broken

  • Nemesis2K
    ꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reported

    Last ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 40+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep playing. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

    @SeaOfThieves The fact that the game is this old and you guys still can't figure out how to release an update says something about the dev team. If I was this bad at my job, I definitely wouldn't have 19 seasons to fix it

    @SeaOfThieves How about a fix, that when I try and dive tot he doubloon quest it actually dives, instead of having to cancel after 10 minutes and lose the voyage

    Players report under the official post that the challenges are not visible AGAIN! Allegedly already fixed and tested, and again failed on live. Typical? Let me know if you encountered the issue and on what platform! #seaofthieves #bemorepirate #belessabsurd

    @NessieDoes @SeaOfThieves @j0toro Since someone in a Bruno Files video is asking me to send proof of them knowing “everything”, I will clarify with this: When I said “they knew everything for a long time” I was alluding to the pig incident when I said that, which they did know about and deflected by turning their eyes away from it. The linked image below is a direct reference of proof for that. And by “they”, or “Employees” I mean Shirah and J0toro who are employed Community Managers working for Sea Of Thieves who were doing nothing about this issue, yet still endorsed and promoted Bruno

    @SeaOfThieves The more supplies a ship has, the slower it should go. For example, if a loaded sloop has 200 cannonballs (plus all other supplies) it should sail slower than a sloop that just spawned with basic supplies. This would help prevent so many issues!!! #seaofthieves

    @MurpheyLives @SeaOfThieves @Rare_Gamer This is the worst possible statement you could make. "Clear his name"??? It is OVER. There is nothing to clear. The best you could've done is apologizing for your poor judgment, but considering you were part of that disgusting joke a year ago, I guess you regret nothing. It's not a problem that people like that lose the community. The problem is that they did NOT lose it for the first obvious signs. Goodbye.
