  • AxlSurette Axl Surette (@AxlSurette) reported

    @IIMikezII @Alpha_Quacks @SeaOfThieves And I do understand why it's being removed, so that isn't an issue for me. Just wish the cutoff wasn't so soon. That, with a longer cutoff point for the Rep lv. 5 and 50 rewards, and I feel like the negative response to the closure would have been mitigated somewhat.

  • A1kLto A1kLto (@A1kLto) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why hurt the guy who won 240 games? Is all you can do is change the color of the weapon? You get more praise if you change the weapon model that's the problem!

  • AxlSurette Axl Surette (@AxlSurette) reported

    @chase03268738 @Alpha_Quacks @SeaOfThieves I literally do not physically have the time to complete those achievements with 3 weeks official notice that they will be unobtainable. That is why I won't be doing them, not because I don't want to. And saying "don't complain" implies you take issue with my valid criticism.

  • BoiBitty Bitty Boi (@BoiBitty) reported

    @bldarkness @SeaOfThieves Discontinued achievements doesn't mean broken

  • AlphaX3069 Alpha (@AlphaX3069) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are the the servers down now? I keep getting a lavenderbeard error and can't play

  • PersonalC0ffee PersonalC0ffee (@PersonalC0ffee) reported

    @Gloombeard @SeaOfThieves Knockback was the issue and their high damage.

  • DaveSh0p DaveSh0p (@DaveSh0p) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Let's not fix the problem, just make it less confusing... Right

  • invader__alu invader alu (@invader__alu) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix reaper hopping with full supplies, that **** is way too OP and not how the game supposed to work. You remove exploits like fast digging and bucketing but allow this?

  • bldarkness Ian #SinnohHello (@bldarkness) reported

    @BoiBitty @SeaOfThieves Items are unimportant. Xbox Game Studios game having discontinued Xbox Achievements while still continuously updating the game is concerning. No developer should intentionally leave broken Achievements in their game. Especially when they've adjusted Achievement criteria before.

  • Kittentopia ksea (@Kittentopia) reported

    @SeaOfThieves honestly, how long does it take you to fix hitreg? it's been 3 years. we'll need to change this soon.

  • TimTimWoW TimTim (@TimTimWoW) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I haven't been able to buy anything, including currency, in the pirate emporium in over a week. This a known issue? I've logged in and out thats about it to fix it myself

  • TreadwellBgames Charlotte Smith (@TreadwellBgames) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves we just got booted out of the game with (marblebeard) errors, any ideas?

  • Gilli_GilliTTV Gilli_Gilli (@Gilli_GilliTTV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves: *says literally anything* Baby Pirates 🍼: oMG fiX hIT rEg aLreAdY

  • Flamegardz Flamegardz (@Flamegardz) reported

    @braxos86 @SeaOfThieves Yeah the 240 wins on a dead game mode where half of the ships disconnect and you can pick up a box and put on an galleon for a free win. Yeah that exact grind.

  • ryantheleach ryan leach (@ryantheleach) reported

    @braxos86 @SeaOfThieves I've earned this set. The design is meaningless and should never have been locked behind this comm. This comm deserved it's own sea dog based set. It's another instance of rare being blind to the issues of "splitting sets" like obsidian set etc

  • gnarvin gnarvin (@gnarvin) reported

    @johndoe04994642 @Mozzla_ @SeaOfThieves They said once, which I took as once before the announcement of the removal which is completely believable. But I agree that shouldn't be an issue now especially the last 2x xp for Arena.

  • D3monWo1f Demon (@D3monWo1f) reported

    @IvyDicey @Capt_Ballzonia @SeaOfThieves Yea I also see tons of people having issues with it too. Which imo is ridiculous. It’s only a cosmetic. It’s not the same skin. Like The Ferryman sword I feel like they will reskin it in the future, would I care? No lol. It’s just a video game cosmetic. No advantage at all.

  • Maxstru32 Max Struijs (@Maxstru32) reported

    @SeaOfThieves the game is broken rn. I bought a wood crate from the Merchant and I’m not allowed to take it.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @ClaireH50955804 @killzone1401 @SeaOfThieves This truly is a "skill issue" moment I guess. Doesn't mean the devs should just give you stuff for losing

  • invader__alu invader alu (@invader__alu) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix reaper hopping with full supplies, that **** is way too OP and not how the game supposed to work. You remove exploits like fast digging and bucketing but allow this?

  • watchTotalBlank TotalBlank (@watchTotalBlank) reported

    @imaidiotWill @H2OAcidic @SeaOfThieves This is the problem with Games as a Service. They are designed to force you to login for bonuses (daily, weekly, monthly) and progression tasks/quests and a **** ton of bloat to keep you working mundane tasks for minimal improvements. Not enough people seem to care though.

  • AxlSurette Axl Surette (@AxlSurette) reported

    @IIMikezII @Alpha_Quacks @SeaOfThieves This does at least set the grounds for that precedent to be made going forward. I'm not sure if any of the upcoming adventure content is also temporary, but it makes me cautious about engaging in many more live-service-style games, at the very least.

  • MrFreakyStyley MrFreakyStyley (@MrFreakyStyley) reported

    The @SeaOfThieves community right now really is at a awfully low point...right before a new season too. First we had arena closing, then the good boy ship set, then the server issues and now some weapon cosmetics... Everyone needs to chill out and remember it's just a game.

  • frankcasillas50 Frank (@frankcasillas50) reported

    @invader__alu @SeaOfThieves If they fix it crews that portal hop would probably lower flag and find a new server faster than portal hopping since it takes over 5 minutes

  • ShiioSami ShiiO (@ShiioSami) reported

    @Hidden3lite @SeaOfThieves Right! how dare they post a joke on twitter they should know that this is a serious problem instead of spending 5 seconds to tweet about it thats like so much time they could have used to be fixing the game

  • TonaldD38704746 Tonald Drump (@TonaldD38704746) reported

    @SeaOfThieves People on here saying "lol it's just a joke, don't take it seriously" are the same people who would want EA's scalps if they made jokes about their broken game on Twitter.

  • AxlSurette Axl Surette (@AxlSurette) reported

    @IIMikezII @Alpha_Quacks @SeaOfThieves I don't mind live service stuff, I've played a good chunk of SoT, thousands of hours of Neverwinter, among others... I guess I find I just prefer titles where the content has a small/no chance of vanishing. Probably going to limit how many of them I work on actively, I suppose.

  • Just_Morwen Morwen (@Just_Morwen) reported

    HazelnutBeard or any Beard Error that happens in the middle of an arena match through no fault of the player should not count against you towards the DeMarco! We can’t control the game kicking us out, stop punishing us for trying to play! @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • darkcepm42 darkcepm (@darkcepm42) reported

    @BrendenStokkel1 @SeaOfThieves I still see the error message in my sleep sometimes... Strawberrybeard...STRAWBERRYBEARD!!!!

  • JustJobiwan Jobi (@JustJobiwan) reported

    You know what, I missed the original Bone Crusher set in @SeaOfThieves way back. I didnt have a full crew back then & had issues finding other crews to help. I didn't complete the tasks in time given, but thats ok. Thats how it worked back then, its the same now. 1/3
