    @SolanaD0C @ICTD_MIKE @SeaOfThieves we had bi-weekly fixes, at this time it really was hot-fixing. if its not lazy devs, what i really hope, it a major skill issue :(

    @Common_Potatos @SeaOfThieves That's why they started it early this time. It's gonna take longer cuz there's less interest. Should honestly just lower the requirements, but I guess this is one way to fix it.

    Hey @SeaOfThieves , i would like to know what you can do about our hourglass glitch, im playing with my son and friends, about to get him his first 4 streak in HG when we spawn into a match about 100m in the sky with our boat flying a mile away from us, unable to move streak lost

    @WazzaC92 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Other players have to put time and effort into multiple event weekends, while many players used this bug/glitch to buy everything right away, so these players (apparently including you) DID take advantage of that.

  • DayKahDos
    DK2️⃣ (@DayKahDos) reported

    @SeaOfThieves One of the major issues with this event is the lack of frequency combined with the inability to earn doubloons almost at all now in between these weekends. The cap of 3 voyage completions before it gives gold is lame as well. Also server performance was TERRIBLE (fireworks?)

  • Treefittytwo
    24 player servers? (@Treefittytwo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the bugs and exploits. Make harpoon gun not useable to board ships. Put HG on their own servers not on adventure mode. Delete the devils roar.

    @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves worst part is you are getting hated by the community as soon as you mention issues about what rare is doing, you have no right to be a more competent person at spotting evident gameplay design problems than them. now we are stuck with rare listening to the wrong people

    @imabookwyrm @GreedoGaming @SeaOfThieves ok but this game has a blatant cheating problem in the main avenue for PvP

    @Slimey_Pigeon @SeaOfThieves Insider I asked about the issue for those that have color blindness. I know of a few individuals that might be affected. But how would you suggest to fix it .. the is sound and color and a warning pop up I think. .. Honestly it would be cool to see the effect even for customseas

  • NorthernLawYT
    NorthernLaw (@NorthernLawYT) reported

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves Growing pains? Game is almost a decade old. If they don’t improve the issues that have plagued the game from day one like bad servers and hit registration then the game will die. Not to mention they should listen to the community, wasn’t that the whole point of opening insiders?

    @yooztis @SeaOfThieves Will need to own a xbox or a active game pass subscription to login into the sea of thieves game on xbox first then it will work but I believe it works on pc on game pass.

    @wizardberry2822 @Zairin__ @SeaOfThieves Same, & I'm running on HOTSPOT ROUTERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS!!! We don't have the cables dug for access to highspeed internet, so if ANYONE should be lagging & having major issues with bugs, it's me LOL (It would cost around $10k USD just to dig & install cables for access).

    @SeasOfThieves #seaofthieves fix the harpoon in for hell sake. Season 20 fixed harpoon. That's all we want.

    @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves I wish one day they could give me an opportunity to give my feedback on the game. I know what are the most important issue (some of tweaks , some nerfs and maybe some rework) U know me well,Truth can hurt & i don't get the dev vision but my veteran feedback can be helpfull

    @SeaOfThieves We’re at a garrison and had one wave spawn but the next wave hasn’t spawned so we can’t move on 💀 Damn, looking at the other reported issues with this, this is a bad event release.

    @Donuttboy @SeaOfThieves Bud almost no one shares your opinion infact most of the community is the opposite thinking that seasons stretch for too long i think what you have a problem with a time limited content season passes last 3 months at least sometimes more if you cant do it in that time tough love

  • SmokeBeardTV
    Smoke (@SmokeBeardTV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves is now switching up again, the doubloon cutlass is free as long as youve earned 50k doubloons in your lifetime (sorry new and casual players, sot just flipped you the bird) its almost like if they stop resetting doubloons we wouldn’t have any of these problems

    @SeaOfThieves Is a fix to correct tomorrow's patch already planned ?

  • BlueFieldAbove
    Blue Field Above (@BlueFieldAbove) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You reset my doubloons. I am struggling to find out why you think that means I would want to return to the game? Can anybody on the dev team explain that to me? Why would I slog through your broken matchmaking system and buggy servers just to earn what I had, back?

    @SeaOfThieves "We know there's fundamental problems to combat and movement right now but we're not gonna ship the fixes we have until the 3rd act of the season (which we've delayed)" Great job, guys!

    @FrostyRealLive @SeaOfThieves you don't know why i'm complaining. i love the game, day one player. It's just not needed, they should fix the game instead.
