    @fraudatori @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves Sure the game has many problems, im not disagreeing on that regard. But just because another game has a pirate theme, doesnt mean it can replace sot gameplaywise. These other games just arent for me, as they cant replace what i like on sot.

    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.

    @AlmtyChcknPoo @SeaOfThieves To be fair some of us kinda blow ***. I care more about numerous sot community moderators blocking me for talking about quality control issues within the game instead of glazing ******** out of it like a fat kid preparing a toaster strudel for himself.

    @SeaOfThieves Player that has played since day 1 here,✋ Horrible experience. Hopped back to test the event and new doubloon system. Doubloons not coming through, servers lagging like hell on last ship standing (ships flying, long waiting time...) Please, I love the game, fix something🙏

    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 30+ 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 trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

    @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?

    @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves I would agree if the issue would be WITHIN the game, but this is OUTSIDE of the game mostly, on social channels. Again, cut-off people involved and close the discord server until things are solved. People that are responsible are mostly dangerous on these platforms.

    @Giovann69642526 @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves to afford just the curse, nevermind a single other thing in BOTH of the black markets, and you have to remember that this is only the first black market drop. They intend to add more to it consistently, which will only make this issue worse.

    @surivSHANKS @ITZH4ZARD @SeaOfThieves The problem is not the orange association box, its the purple confirmed cheater box. No idea how they got that information though.

    @knglover @SeaOfThieves This is what they want to fix! Player engagement/random encounters is KING in SoT

    @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.

    @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.

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Your problem wasn't the game. Your problem is you try to appeal to the whiniest of the player base who felt entitled to gold they hadn't stolen fairly. Now, ffs, I'll forgive it all if you spawn a Shrouded for me. 8k hours guys, like damn, I'm dying here.

    @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.

    @ManVsMiniatures @SeaOfThieves Its written by their legal team not rare. They know how to phrase stuff without getting into more trouble. While I do agree, law wise their respond is sadly the only correct way.

    @SeaOfThieves can we actually fix our game before we implement new systems? Here I am trying to pvp and get better at pvp and I'm... 1.) Glitching though my boat? 2.) Grabbing the latter when I interact with anything in my ship that requires interaction? 3.) all of the above? 3.

    @SeaOfThieves •“After besting their rivals to become the Last Ship Standing, winners are now given additional time to collect their spoils and head to the final portal.” Nope this is not working still, I didn’t get time to turn the ship to harpoon the flag before I got transported back!

    @SeaOfThieves can you fix your bugs and glitches instead of dropping more and more cosmetics to make money players dont give a **** about skins if the games broken kraken suck animation is broken to point to where you get glitched out and cant move to repair ship you know how aggrevating that is when you spent 4 hours at gathering loot for achievements fix your ****

    @SeaOfThieves To sum up: "WE ****** up the doubloons for some players, so to not punish them for an error on our side we removed the items from them" and "we hear your feedback, but we don't care" ...Like avoiding to publicly say sorry and the silence for the other things wasn't bad enough

    @CaptainQuaa @SeaOfThieves Sadly , Shrouded ghost is gatekeep beside a RNG game mechanic and Spawn timer mechanic. Rarity is not the trouble , but how meg spawn is the main issue ... Arround 1h45 to get a single meg .... and only 0.02 % of chance to get the great one.
