  • Aero157 Joshua Wilken (@Aero157) reported

    @SeaOfThieves MF'r probably getting that coralbeard error....

  • kman546 Kaiden G (@kman546) reported

    @andreasspindle2 @SeaOfThieves Yeah like honestly when the server’s are down I just do something else until they come back up it’s honestly not a big deal like if they fix something they fix something they don’t they don’t

  • _ObscureTyler Opperating 🏴‍☠️ (@_ObscureTyler) reported

    @SeeDeathMore @SeaOfThieves The reach on the sword is insane because of backtracks and broken hit boxes like you said, which I think is the worst part

  • Zach89358725 evo (@Zach89358725) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Refunding game servers down more then there up

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Turning a blind eye to the issue overall and allowing this company to keep getting away with this stuff is going to damage the long term health of the game, so having a handful of random players be able to actually log in on a certain week end every season is seriously bad news

  • Thegaer2 Thegaer (@Thegaer2) reported

    @The1AMparty @CaptainBroly1 @SeaOfThieves Nope, now its even ingame. What youre describing are server problems that i'm sure that they are working hard on fixing it.

  • LBozzie98 Bozzie (@LBozzie98) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Trying not to crash into every island I see…

  • BoiBitty Bitty Boi (@BoiBitty) reported

    @gaygiorno @slippery_dogo @SeaOfThieves Not really. Like I said, extreme comparison, but it was the first that came to mind. You're looking at the "problem," but do nothing about it yourself

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Assisting Rare in this case throughout the other comments on the post isn't helping anyone. Sure SOME people got in, but the issue was dragged on for the entire weekend ruining it for those who didn't know what was even going on. I like to be on Rares side too but this is absurd

  • flotsamtv flotsam 💀 (@flotsamtv) reported

    @HLariash @SeaOfThieves no wind no problem

  • JacobMarlowe3 Jacob Marlowe (@JacobMarlowe3) reported

    @Merrickthewise @SeaOfThieves Obviously you don't know how these things work. Game sales are used to recoup development costs and fund future projects. Not support the ones that are now aging. I've never had issues with this game until the community day event. Maybe it's an issue with you or your internet?

  • Solo_Swaff Swaff 🎮 (@Solo_Swaff) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Here's hoping that we don't have any server issues for the third weekend in a row. See if the eaves is a great game but I don't think they are staffed enough to handle the influx of players that have built up over the past few months for the weekends

  • SeeDeathMore SeeDeath (@SeeDeathMore) reported

    @_ObscureTyler @SeaOfThieves I honestly [don’t] believe the reach to be as outrageous as many people make it out to be, as I doubt even RareLTD to be stupid enough to implement such a thing, I think it’s more the back-tracking which makes it appear so, so, so broken.

  • Loki88340591 Loki (@Loki88340591) reported

    @Thebigchessee @SeaOfThieves Servers go down from errors: "Ya'll so bad, my god this is ridiculous" Servers get maintenance: "Omg, how dare you try fix what we complain about" 🤡🤡🤡

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Out of everything you took that... Personally I'm quite active whether or not I'm playing the game so it wasn't an issue to me, but the amount of people that aren't active and didn't know beforehand or don't have easy access to twitter on demand... yikes

  • TylaGratton Tyla Gratton (@TylaGratton) reported

    @BoiBitty @invader__alu @SeaOfThieves Have both, problem solved

  • SweetSandMan SweetSandman (@SweetSandMan) reported

    @SeeDeathMore @_ObscureTyler @SeaOfThieves The reach would probably be fine if the backtracking wasn't such a problem. But, backtracking is a huge problem. Until that gets resolved, they should either reduce the range on the sword by a hair or get rid of the stun lock.

  • SundropJo SundropJo☀️ (@SundropJo) reported

    Just tried playing @SeaOfThieves but the severe lag got so bad I smashed into a rock, went thru said rock and was sinking but my bucket bugged out and would not empty. Got on a new server then got kicked out due to Microsoft error. This is getting so bad

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @Pharaoh_Rising @SeaOfThieves They only joked about it. No acknowledgement of the ongoing server issues. They're trying to avoid addressing the situation entirely. It's painfully obvious. @RareLtd "Despite the meddling of a certain fruit-bearded buccaneer keeping players off the seas".

  • mixedsucks Afro (@mixedsucks) reported

    @SeaOfThieves SOT servers down? what else is new?

  • MrsFiGGiEs Alex 💜🐮 @ Advanced lvl 3 ✨ (@MrsFiGGiEs) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Name: FiGGiEs Favourite snack: Burnt Bananas Holiday spot: Thieves Haven Go-to equipment: Blunder, Eye of Reach Preferred ship set: Obsidian Favourite colour: Purple Trading Company of choice: Reapers Catchphrase: Oh no, our ship, it’s broken

  • Squall_v2 Thomas Greene (@Squall_v2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Make it past the sign in screen.

  • xYoungBullx xYoungBull95x (@xYoungBullx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Servers are down on a regular basis no need to say it. How bout you actually make the game work and be fun again. Seems like all the dev's are beating there meat behind there desks. Matchmaking is garbage u join a game for everyone to leave please for the love of god fix the game

  • basically_kobe gabagoo (@basically_kobe) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the servers. Then I'll grab my gear

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hopefully we get some server stability Improvements before they start adding a bunch of new content but I doubt it tbh. So far @RareLtd has been poking fun at the ongoing server issues but personally I don't think it's very funny.

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Joking about server issues... it's a real shame you guys aren't taking these matters seriously.
