Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Sammys_stuff @SeaOfThieves Why not? All the time I hear them talk about how they hate chasing people who run, (often because they just arent into pvp at all) and a server full of pvp players should solve that issue.

  • WizStreams Wiz Streams Games (@WizStreams) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Its not working

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Sammys_stuff @SeaOfThieves Its like you completely ignored the part about this idea that not everything could be done on pve only and also that it would require playing on PVEVP to be incentivized. Its totally possible to have both and whats the problem if a server had all pvp?

  • hocka56 Mysterious Stranger (@hocka56) reported

    @SamStyle102 @SeaOfThieves Since the last update not sure if this one will fix, here is me hoping it we'll fix it.

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @NebdeNN @SeaOfThieves No problem with the servers that have no progression. Its pve servers i have a problem with!

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @birdsurvivor1 @MTHREMIX @SeaOfThieves Or means they don't know how or can't fix it!

  • stordyr Stordyr Gaming (@stordyr) reported

    @Zyx_XBL @glermzz @SeaOfThieves Two reasons: 1. Everyone who is raising 'Theena Emissary knows he's making him/herself a target 2. the aforementioned glitch :)

  • NebdeNN NebdeN (@NebdeNN) reported

    @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Dont really understand your problem. So you got problem with the adventure mode or with the private servers where people can either do pvp or pve?

  • stordyr Stordyr Gaming (@stordyr) reported

    @Zyx_XBL @glermzz @SeaOfThieves You are correct and i've been doing it. Didn't reach grade 5 with 2 Thieves haven and Full Athena VOyage + 3 skeli ships and a handful of captains :) . This is how bad this glitch is right now :D

  • Steffenronstad Steffen // Geffus (@Steffenronstad) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves With no risk you can get all the XP, Gold, titles commendations without any problem. This it why I dont like it. unless you have two pirates. One for both. But we will have to agree to disagree on this one. All in all we both want the best for the game so thats good 👌

  • GamerDadZoiks CMDR Geocacher (@GamerDadZoiks) reported

    @MTHREMIX @SeaOfThieves Hit reg is fine. The broken overheal meter I hope is priority with this update

  • sam29663452 Sam Liverpool (@sam29663452) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please try to fix the merchant shipwreck bugs Rare. I’ve lost a lot of time and effort retrieving manifests only for them not to be counted.

  • BPetz29 Bobby Petz (@BPetz29) reported

    @SlooperSolo @jake_deg @SeaOfThieves We know what pvevp is bud just no fun what? They gonna beat the boss first and somehow get all the loot? Or what can’t steal it from people as they pick it up and run to their boat... go play animal crossing, no one is going to give you any problems there.

  • sodano_matthew Matt soda (@sodano_matthew) reported

    @ree70713640 @SeaOfThieves It does have to do with the update, cause when you go to the patch notes and go to known issues, then you will see it says “bullet and sword hit registration”. I am telling sea of thieves that I am no longer playing the game cause of that issue.

  • Callum54748255 Callum (@Callum54748255) reported

    @glermzz @stordyr @SeaOfThieves There’s a glitch at the moment that’s making athena rep way harder to get, it only was introduced around a month or so ago. That’s what he’s on about, he’s right about it taking too long to reach grade V recently.

  • LegomasterG LegomasterGaming (@LegomasterG) reported

    @Noobface @SeaOfThieves at least they fixed the water bug they added last bug fix update

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Sammys_stuff @SeaOfThieves I agree that its fun, thats why i've enjoyed the game for 3 years, you're not telling me anything I dont know. Problem is its not fun for everyone and I dont see the problem with actually letting them choose how to play too.

  • noob76052507 oxynatOr (@noob76052507) reported

    @NebdeNN @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves no, the problem is, when everything is unlockable in a Priv match, why play "public" at all?

  • hocka56 Mysterious Stranger (@hocka56) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No mention of "enlisting pirate" problem that i have.

  • killzone1401 Killzone1401 (@killzone1401) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can anybody help me with opening glitterbeards hideout, i’m a no mic solo player, having trouble finding 7 other people to do it.

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @luric121213 @SeaOfThieves We do, its not every session that i'd be attacked, or even that I have an issue with being attacked/killed/sunk/losing loot all that. I wouldnt still be playing if that was an issue for me. I'm just empathizing with the players who love SOT but want no part of toxic pvp

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Steffenronstad @SeaOfThieves See i reject this notion that A. pve has to mean no risk. that doesnt have to be true. and B I dont really care too much about what other people earn, i don't need them to "have problems' it doesnt affect me at all.

  • Jim_McCormack Jim McFebruary (@Jim_McCormack) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm having trouble hearing other players while in game. All my settings are correct and privacy options are okay, other players can hear me but for some reason game chat isn't off. I'm on PC, do you have any ideas? I've done everything your site says to do too

  • MTHREMIX MTHREMIX (@MTHREMIX) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix hit reg

  • Rolle59475986 Rolle (@Rolle59475986) reported

    @SlooperSolo @Buck0451 @SeaOfThieves There’s a problem, a lot of pvp players want to fight to steal stuff, it gives them a real motive, if there are only stealing pvp players left, they have nothing to steal or give them motivation to fight over. Pretty sure that’s what people mean by the game kinda dying

  • truwock ⚡️⚡️ (@truwock) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I hope they atleast fix the megan

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @chunkyfaust @NibelHungen @SeaOfThieves Agreed, a lot of people conflate pve with solo or private but thats not what i'm talking about. Nor am I complaining about dying, i'd not still be playing if that was my problem.

  • glermzz Glermz (@glermzz) reported

    @Callum54748255 @stordyr @SeaOfThieves Oh fair enough. But its unintended then? I dont have the need to do anymore athena runs so i had no idea about the issue. Thank you for clarifying

  • GamingHoj House of Jacobs Gaming (@GamingHoj) reported

    @BriittyBear @SeaOfThieves NOOOO I'm on vacation this weekend. I cant earn anything. Someone take my login info and grind some fancy stuff for me

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @BPetz29 @jake_deg @SeaOfThieves You ignore that not everything would be possible in PVE servers, some things obviously woudlnt make sense like FOTD and such. I see no issue with letting everyone choose how they want to play
