  @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.

  @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I barely play 1 day a week now down from 4. The game is great, but the studio’s actions are unacceptable. Protecting a predator, ignoring red flags, and silencing creators who spoke up is a horrific look for Rare. A corporate PR statement won't fix this. We need real answers. (i hope they will do something besides "We missed the mark)"

  @Donuttboy @SeaOfThieves These broken feathers are awful and make it unfair ….. if it can’t be fixed immediately it needs to end

  @CptStepFalcon @Lukitch59 @SeaOfThieves Devs can say whatever they want but practically Insider is just a beta test and not the definive version of the game. They don't know what it can be broken by adding/changing some things.

  With everything going on in the SoT community right now, it’s been really disappointing to see certain creators and familiar faces either show their true colours or stay completely silent, It’s honestly horrible seeing how broken parts of this community really are. #SeaOfThieves

  @SeaOfThieves The more supplies a ship has, the slower it should go. For example, if a loaded sloop has 200 cannonballs (plus all other supplies) it should sail slower than a sloop that just spawned with basic supplies. This would help prevent so many issues!!! #seaofthieves

  @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🙏

  @SeaOfThieves I would go back to playing this game on Steam, But I have to sign in to my Xbox Account to play it and I can't be bothered. That though my Gmail Account. So I might as well get this game for my Xbox Console (Series X) with a different account.

  Huge W’s for SoT today, diving took out what was so special about this game’s experience. Pretty sure this game is marketed as a “shared world experience”. It is kind of insane how many people are complaining about this; ya’ll are the problem! #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate

  @KingHotdogPig @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Changing your profile picture and adding Star Citizen as a replacement game for Sot, hahaha. No one said Sot's conditions are great; in fact, S20 and up should have zero errors. But it doesn't do you credit to behave like this.

  @SeaOfThieves While we’re on the topic, why are we sticking to the outdated supply issues rather than adjusting their entire purchase method? Add a spawn location for items next to cannon barrels, just like tall tale items on the tables so purchases go there rather than fix the merchants.

  The statement didn't mean anything really did it you can make any positive u want but it isn't gonna fix the core problem here games cooked and most would rather have drops than protect kids #fucksotpartner #fucksot #seaofthieves

  @TheGoozman99 @RobertByron23 @SeaOfThieves It was broken. Having up to 12 skeletons on a solo slooper, is incredibly broken.

  @ToodleJerr3196 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Absolutely agree. Even with the actual game issues currently, I still have some hope for a future. But it's going to be very hard to trust Rare moving forward, and they are going to need to do some major work to gain player's trust back.

  @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

  I can’t even put into words how disheartening it is to see #SeaOfThieves in the state it’s currently in. We have Community Managers behaving unprofessionally, Discord mods acting like they rule the world, and both think they're above the rest of us. United in censoring discussion around individuals who have absolutely ZERO place in this community and pose an actual threat to everyone in it. All while players are constantly being gaslit by those same CMs and mods into believing the community isn’t in complete disarray when it very clearly is. What makes this even worse is that these are the very people whose job is supposed to be upholding the community’s values, the Pirate Code, and Microsoft’s Terms of Service. But it feels like nothing is being enforced at all. Situations like this are 100% avoidable too. If the CM team had genuinely listened to the community and addressed these concerns and allegations early on and did something about it, things never would have reached this point. To be clear, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with the production or creative development side of the game. Please don't tag developers, artists, designers, or other team members into discussions they have no involvement in. Our criticism and calls to action are specifically directed at the community management side of Sea of Thieves. That team needs serious retraining, and a reevaluation of whether certain individuals even possess the requirements needed to continue representing the Sea of Thieves community in their current roles. I'm so tired of this, I just want to play the game man... @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd

  Let’s be real for one minute here. Putting hourglass in SEPARATE SERVERS is one of the easiest solutions to Sea of Thieves’ biggest problems: dead servers. By making this one change, alongside the removal of diving and raid voyages, players can guarantee that a ship they see at the start of a session will still be there even 20 minutes later, unless someone or something gets to them first. As of right now, if I were to join a server, see a Reaper, buy supplies, and go to hunt them down, there is an insanely high chance that said Reaper (or Guild) will be GONE by the time you start sailing. That’s just ridiculous. Get rid of diving, and separate hourglass from the main adventure servers, and see how it improves the livelihood of the seas. #savetheseas #seaofthieves #bemorepirate
