    @magmei69 @MellowMp5 @SeaOfThieves Im just saying that they are working on it. For me hit reg is not that bad. Hit reg issues are not only becouse of game issue but also becouse of differnece between internet conection of both players

    @SAIKOsean @SeaOfThieves well for me at least the issues got worse after the update, maybe some servers are just more stressed than others because of players returning to the game

    @SeaOfThieves How come certain hourglass wins aren’t giving the XP?? I won 3 in a row but only got XP from the first 2. Fix your game??

    @SeaOfThieves I have a quick question please tell me that you are working on a fix so when you are doing hourglass pvp you don't get put against the same faction

    @Slimey_Pigeon @SeaOfThieves this is the first time in a while the cheater problem has actually bothered me, beforehand a cheater for me would be like “oh alr guess I’ll just play and see what happens” but this new batch are so pathetic to the point where they invade people’s privacy for an advantage.

    @ZkarmaPR @SeaOfThieves Nah, I have other games I can play. Its not worth the lack of fun anymore. Occasional pvp, very fun. But when people are actively going for smaller boats to bully, yeah, I dont care for it. We used to sloop vs galleon without problem, but the boat dmg changes ended that.

    @haliax_l @Wermux @SeaOfThieves Think of it like this, wermux wasn't streaming, so how did his community know it was opm?? How many of opm's community started on wermux??? How many out of wermux's community came over to opm's chat?? I think i know where the problem is ..

    @Daniel75986190 @SeaOfThieves Yes we have the problem too

  • CrouchinTyger
    Eric Vines (@CrouchinTyger) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You guys need to seriously fix this game. 4 ships versus 1 galleon should easily sink it. After over 200 *****, ship on fire the entire time, and they dont sink? Come on now…Dont be like Activision and due stupid stuff like this

    @Balcaxontheflax @SeaOfThieves Yeah it was an Xbox server problem it’s solved now lasted about 45 minutes.

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your stupid ******* game, I shot these guys each 4+ times straight through their ******* craniums, and guess what? They don't die. Get your shot together and stop falling back on the excuse "we're working on it". Either fix it or stop calling your game good.

    @Falcon59875668 @MellowMp5 @SeaOfThieves what kind of an argument „then maybe work for them” even is? it is certainly the issue of their priorities, me working for them or not won’t change a single thing

    Thanks sea of thieves… got an error mid way selling my 3 hour haul. Just great how I have to lose all I had. @SeaOfThieves

    @SeaOfThieves So when exactly are you going to ix the stability issues?

  • Falcon59875668
    Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @magmei69 @MellowMp5 @SeaOfThieves Then maybe work for them. Do you know how game development works? Team that is working on bug fixes is working on bug fixes. Im the same time team that works on skins/emotes do their stuff as addition. They can only improve server performance or hit reg. They will never fix it.

    @SeaOfThieves are the servers down?

  • 013Enterprises
    Cyrus (@013Enterprises) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @SeaOfThieves Sounds like a load of unnecessary bullshit to me~ Stress is a health issue and too much of it is actively terrible for a person. It makes no difference to the game if there are servers with no pvp, and it wouldn't be difficult to make them so rare should just make them.

    @emmapon_ @SeaOfThieves It's apparently a problem with xbox. They are apparently now working on it. Xx

    @sophhUK @SeaOfThieves Funny, none of the streamers seem to be having coarsebeard issues…hmmm I wonder?? I don’t want to watch SOT, I wanna play it, lol.

    @Coppertailwolf @XboxSupport @SeaOfThieves weird, I’ve never had it crash me. in fact, none of the notifcations even showed up when I re-opened in.

    Yo, can anyone help me?? I keep getting coursebeard errors and I've restarted my wifi , restarted my PC, logged out of my Xbox account then back in and nothing. It only started to happen after I left a tall tale mid game?? #SeaOfThieves #seaofthieveshelp

  • AtomicMuon
    Al~ (@AtomicMuon) reported

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves Problem with that hitbo is that people who are streak grinding and don’t have unlimited time can’t get higher streaks as matchmaking takes longer for defence, it will also make the game feel slow for those people who just wanna get into a fight and carry on there’s more but yeah
