  Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported 54 seconds ago

  @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.

  @SeaOfThieves Can your support team actually support me? They said buying a new copy would fix my game.

  @SeaOfThieves @youtooz Fix ur game, harpooning me off a cannon shouldn’t glitch me to where I cant go back to the ferry after death and can’t use any weapons or items.

  @knglover @SeaOfThieves This is what they want to fix! Player engagement/random encounters is KING in SoT

  @SteezyyTommyy @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Maybe he should use his fingers to actually talk about the issues facing the community instead of grandstanding about “delete muh account” and farming moral applause. “Recent events” tells people absolutely nothing. Hope this helps!

  @RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Same. I quit sot when they removed quickswap and made all combat clunky as a result of the fix, i will not come back to sot but i still follow the game, i played sot since 2018 until season 10 religiously, all my friends quit around that time too.

  @IamGreen112 @SeaOfThieves So, players who exploited this got to keep everything, those who were affected by the glitch got items deleted, and you're stuck between a rock and a hard place of having to earn them, and having items taken away. Schrodinger's Doubloons-- their here and not here at same time lol

  Some @SeaOfThieves viewers/streamers really need a reality check on what cheating actually looks like. Watched a streamer get sniped 3x in an hour today. The fights were suspicious (insane air shots, constant mid-air hits, etc.), but the chat was screaming "cheater" for things that were easily debunked. Ladder speeds were normal on VOD, and "insta-kills" were just players not being full HP. It’s easy to lose cool live, but we have to analyze before we accuse. Grateful the streamer kept a level head. The REAL issue? Public sites still exist that track specific players and server ship counts. How is this still live after a months? Cloudflare should be handing over data for a lawsuit at this point. Hoping this reaches the right eyes. @ChappersChapman @S0nicbob

  @SeaOfThieves While we’re on the topic, why are we sticking to the outdated supply issues rather than adjusting their entire purchase method?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.

  @AboutSelphy @SeaOfThieves because loss farming is a strat. As long as there are points awarded for losing, this is going to be an issue. To be clear, i think it IS an issue, loss farming. But your openly flexing on using an exploit to deprive people of something the devs think they deserve. Just stop.

  Notcaringmuch (@notcaringmuch) reported 23 minutes ago

  @squidkiller8781 @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves well look, cheaters aren't really a big problem now. There were less of them than the actual number of bugs. They made them "grind" to be able to play Hourglass, so most risks their main profile in the process or completely given up on playing with those. (Yes on PC)

  @Valor_Omega_SoT @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves In a way, I don't want to trust this particular team again. It's a huge letdown and disappointment especially being on the Stream Team and seeing how things "get done." They've dragged *** on too many things and now it's about being honest, open and direct about a serious issue.

  @Seeker53872832 @SeaOfThieves What did you expect after they said there was a doubloon economy issue, after the last few seasons included a bunch of stuff that sells for doubloons? That's a manufactured issue.

  @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.

  @fraudatori @SeaOfThieves I am lost, are you agreeing that you have to login and play, or disagreeing? Because either way you have to log in and play to be on the ledgers, that is an irrefutable fact. Nowhere have your screenshots proved your initial argument that you're automatically on the ledger

  @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).

  @AlmtyChcknPoo @SeaOfThieves To be fair some of us kinda blow ***. I care more about numerous sot community moderators blocking me for talking about quality control issues within the game instead of glazing ******** out of it like a fat kid preparing a toaster strudel for himself.

  I’ve run into cheaters maybe a handful of times over the years. @SkeleCurseIRL is absolutely right, #seaofthieves doesn’t have a cheater problem, it has a perception problem. The lack of game knowledge has people calling cheats for what is just really good gameplay

  Venom (@VenomousSloth7) reported 50 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves Is Custom Seas gonna make regular server feel even more dead? Are hackers gonna be able to access it and crash it so that larger streamers cant even play it? Is it gonna be a buggy mess like the game is? 🤔

  Lynnalia (@LynnaliaTV) reported 55 minutes ago

  @fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves Epic does it to "dogfood" their own engine, showing it off and also finding development issues. Considering their scale, that has massive value. Rare has no such incentive, especially when the game already runs so poorly.

  Beardageddon (@RealLifeWookie) reported 55 minutes ago

  @fraudatori @SeaOfThieves You're missing the point. If you have sea of thieves on game pass, do not login to the game and vote an emisary you're not on the ledger. I'm assuming you haven't played this month? Go to the ledger and look for your position, you won't be on there until you login and vote

  @SeaOfThieves Dead game Dev team covers up a member who is a **** preying on children. Discord server guilty as well. Ignoring their disgusting issues. Good riddance
