    @SeaOfThieves Fix your damn game, the adventure shouldn't be forced coop or just have PVP disabled in it, can't do it with PVP Arena Wannabe Lords running around and nobody wants to help to complete it

  • LargeSailor422

    @SeaOfThieves Man it'd be so cool if there was a way for players to test things like this and provide feedback before public launch so these issues don't occur!

    @cdrebarbossa @SeaOfThieves I’ve been “lucky” too many times then I guess. I seriously can’t find any issue. The players, alliance and Reaper alike, are always respectful of the experience. It’s a game about freedom of choice after all. Most know better than to interfere in a limited time adventure.

    @ScrollsFallout @SeaOfThieves Insta respawns help ppl who are being spawncamped its really not a problem

    @SeaOfThieves Do you want to do the adventure tomorrow @BrysonTube 👀 Shouldn't have any issues

    @SeaOfThieves any news on a fix for the adventure? My friends and I can't get past the portal load.

    @SeaOfThieves How are you going to address the problems with A Hunter’s Cry? Many people haven’t been able to complete it because of the spawn camping and TDM’ing, or the final cutscene being able to be started by one person

  • squeezymcgee
    squoozles (@squeezymcgee) reported

    @StarBunny17 @Jimpie10 @SeaOfThieves Yes, exactly that. If your only reason for being there is to piss all over anyone trying to do the adventure, then that's where the problem lies. And a surprising amount of people get their jollies on ruining the adventure for other players. That's not fun. That's just *******.

    Been trying to do the Hunters Cry adventure for over 2 hours now. Not having any PvP trouble, the adventure just won’t load. I blame the Pirate Lord. #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate

  • yeetus_deletus5
    Raphael J. (@yeetus_deletus5) reported

    @SeaOfThieves To be honest... No. This doesn't solve the issue. Also im mainly a solo sailer and this adventure is not possible for me at all. I want to know the story and I want to do the adventure. But it's plain simply not possible. Thanks for ignoring solo sailers. T_T

  • Eljadyem
    Eljadyem Millagan (@Eljadyem) reported

    @Farashin42 @SeaOfThieves No. No it wouldn’t. Because a vast number of said small player base would probably give the same feedback as the majority of players, which does not reflect the experience most get. This way, they can work on the problem as it arrises, while listening to EVERYONE.

  • GoHugYaSelf
    Pauk (@GoHugYaSelf) reported

    @SeaOfThieves yeah f all that how about you fix the long black screen so i don't get shot of my boat and automatically spawn on island with new ship because the broken black screens take so long my boat in sunk before i get back to my boat dumb f##ks

  • squeezymcgee
    squoozles (@squeezymcgee) reported

    @SeaOfThieves But what if the other crew ISN'T adventure-seeking? That's been the issue, not necessarily the number of other crews but how many are actively using it as a new arena, so those that do want to do the adventure, can't. Do we just leave and start over?

  • KevinAGutierre1
    Kevin A Gutierrez (@KevinAGutierre1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix mine than. Ive been doing athena and it still aint updating.

  • CroondogTV
    Croondog (@CroondogTV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How about just disabling PVP for the adventure? That was the issue; not that there were too many crews, but that almost every one of them was more interested in PVP and sinking the other ships than actually completing the adventure!

  • Ac3Nigthmare
    Ac3 (@Ac3Nigthmare) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This great, but are you going to look into the issue where pirates are getting the Alabaster beard error and having their profiles not showing up on the Sea Of Thieves website?

  • JollySoT
    JollySoT | Sea of Thieves (@JollySoT) reported

    Finished the Hunters Cry adventure with @QuinnScurvy! Didn’t have any issues in regards to other players or PvP. All the other crews worked really well together and we got through it pretty efficiently! Despite the loading issues this morning it was a good time! #SeaOfThieves

  • still_vil
    Vill (@still_vil) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Thanks for addressing the social issues Will this fix people getting stuck in the sotd at the end? Will it fix people being unable to get into the sotd and having to vote the adventure down & up? If not… Can you put up the known issues for people to read?

  • Andros_le_wuff
    Felix Kieselbach (@Andros_le_wuff) reported

    @_GhostAdmiral @SeaOfThieves As long as those of us who finished them already will be spared from Larinna endlesly badgering us for favours like a broken record i would totaly support that.

  • Eljadyem
    Eljadyem Millagan (@Eljadyem) reported

    @MagicalMeesh @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Same! And I’ve done it multiple times now. I haven’t run into a single problem with other crews. They are all very respectful of the story and experience of said story as received by other sailors. The sea of thieves can be a bloodbath, but the adventures aren’t worth ruining.

  • GardnerFilm
    Andrew Gardner (@GardnerFilm) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Sadface. My crew was never able to do it. We tried six times and were booted out everytime because of connection/matchmaking issues (presumably).

  • Stitch_en_tweet
    Finn Stitch (@Stitch_en_tweet) reported

    @PurplChicken @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I have no idea, these guys sense of humor is completely broken, heck even non existent. Can't wait to see them banned

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves please address all the issues and bugs popping up with the hunters cry adventure.

    @SeaOfThieves fix the ******* fort cannoners. theyre broken

  • Batesy3197
    Jack Bates (@Batesy3197) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Managed to do the adventure last night before the changes, got lucky as there was only one ship trying to kill everyone and ruin it. Caused a couple of inconveniences but wasn’t a massive issue. Glad the changes are being made though

  • ScrollsFallout
    ActuallyEric (@ScrollsFallout) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Biggest issue is the instant respawn. And plz stop synonymizing TDM with spawncamp. With a TDM you die you respawn then go back to the area where the TDMing is. What most ppl are complaining about are ppl taking advantage of the insta-respawns and literally making it unplayable.

  • RetroGamer90
    RetroGamer (@RetroGamer90) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The devs spend more time pandering to streamers than actually sitting down to look at the real issues with the game. Throw in a few copy paste overpriced cosmetics in the mtx store and thats them done for another month.

    @rdaborn @SeaOfThieves Ya i thoigbt this too, but i thought about it a little more and quockly realized the problems that come when say, a huge group of friends join at once and take over the whole server

    Styli (@TheRealStyli) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Over two years ago we asked for better in-game reporting tools. Is there any progress on that? Given the recent issues with the Hunter's Cry Adventure, it's clear the game still needs better ways of reporting toxic behaviour #SoTPodcast
