  @AlmtyChcknPoo "We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well." - You are obsessed.

  @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I barely play 1 day a week now down from 4. The game is great, but the studio’s actions are unacceptable. Protecting a predator, ignoring red flags, and silencing creators who spoke up is a horrific look for Rare. A corporate PR statement won't fix this. We need real answers. (i hope they will do something besides "We missed the mark)"

  @SeaOfThieves Customs seas would be great if the server didn't crash every five seconds

  @Whitney_2nd @SeaOfThieves Yes they were? People who earn 10 wins AFTER this change will get them, while people who already earned 10 wins the hard way(no custom seas)will have to get 4 more. If you don't see whats the problem here I can't help you I'm afraid.

  @EqualTree3 @SeaOfThieves Their event last week, the pop up plunder..... Didn't even work. So extending, or retrying is futile. They have no clue what they're doing. That's a fact. No amount of extending will fix it.

  @SeaOfThieves After the HG games this evening I see this game still has the same issues it has had for years. Weapons being very unbalanced, HitReg, Lagging, Stuttering, Cannons wont load or fire. Extreme desync! I really want to enjoy this game again.... Rare has yet to show me I can

  @coldsot_ @SeaOfThieves I had this bug in insiders- because it was testing I didn’t leave and saw it thro and had people pissed but I was like “literally following through on the testing- the entire purpose of right now” That being said I got the same bug yesterday and scuttled cause I don’t want to win like that XD it’s a very broken bug - you’re untouchable too outside the ring closing in. I imagine a lot of people will do the same in that situation, but unfortunately a lot won’t.

  Custom Seas is going to be a lot of fun. It feels like it's been designed more with content creators in mind than the average player but I think most people will still get a good laugh out of it and create some memorable moments. The problem is that fun side content and seasonal content are not really the same thing. If this is supposed to help carry an entire Season alongside the occasional returning limited time event then it just is not enough by itself. Season 21 needs to land with some real weight behind it. Adventure Mode needs meaningful additions. New ships, new islands or even entirely new regions. Give players fresh reasons to explore the world and engage with the game in different ways. What we do not need is another couple of delivery missions wearing a fancy new outfit and pretending to be a major update. We have been sailing that particular route for quite a while now. #SeaOfThieves is at its best when it surprises people and gets the community genuinely excited to jump in and see what is new. It feels like it is time for that again. Anything less will mean terrible engagement.

  @SeaOfThieves please fix the initial quest...

  @oGrimz @SeaOfThieves Id rather they run events consistently over the next few months and just fix issues during that time. Still gives us things to do

  Huge W’s for SoT today, diving took out what was so special about this game’s experience. Pretty sure this game is marketed as a “shared world experience”. It is kind of insane how many people are complaining about this; ya’ll are the problem! #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate

  @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

  @Ri58995851 @SeaOfThieves Ok my bad lol and to tell you the truth. I hate SoT. I will never play another live service game in my life cuz of them. I’m an achievement ***** so I gotta keep everything at 100%. This ****** game keeps forcing me back, wrong tree with that gagging on SoT **** stuff.

  @SeaOfThieves Dead game Dev team covers up a member who is a **** preying on children. Discord server guilty as well. Ignoring their disgusting issues. Good riddance

  @SeaOfThieves do you know that you kick players for idling WHILE ACTIVELY BROWSING AND PURCHASING FROM SHOPS?! Just thought you’d want to fix the dumb bug😒

  @SeaOfThieves ****** Twitch Drops. Broken Doubloon Weekender. Free Emote that everyone already has, get more creative. Last Ship Standing will miss the mark again. New Emporium items stink. Pocket Lizard & Last Ship Standing music is good. They once again missed the mark.

  @supermariopla11 @SeaOfThieves That's...that's not what's causing server performance to suck. Like at all. Preventing expansion of the game, maybe. But not server issues. If anything, high end PCs with uncapped FPS and/or max graphics cause more server strain. But even that isn't the underlying issue.

  @MissusPeanut @SeaOfThieves It's fine to leave a hobby you no longer enjoy. It's also fine to enjoy it after having a break. If complaining about your hobby replaces your actual hobby, you have a problem. Finding a better hobby is the mature thing to do.

  I don’t make a lot of comments about sot issues but it is truly baffling to me how much the SoT community is blowing up right now and Rare is staying silent and dodging it. Action needs to be taken. Do better @SeaOfThieves and you need to FIRE @j0toro
