    @SeaOfThieves My biggest problem with stuff like this is that it is after the fact. I get if something is limited time to get, but if there is no heads up that there would be any reward. People who would grind these things out wouldn't do it.

    @SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves The black and white is signal enough. I can’t believe that made it to a more prominent side of hourglass. I imagine that’s wildly triggering to a lot of people with any form of inner ear issue or sensitivity. Like who wants one long high pitch tone in your ear for 5 mins. Even if you don’t have sensory issues absolutely no one likes that haha

    Looking at these reviews for @SeaOfThieves on Xbox and A LOT of them want the same thing. A PVE mode where you can play with friends. I don’t understand why this is a bad thing. Remove safer seas. Make that an “Invite only” server and allow up to 6 boats. Problem solved.

    @SeaOfThieves Disappointing mess of a weekend. Dabloons not tracking or lagging hard. Text not showing on instructions. Rage inducing bilge rat tasks. Having to wait a whole day for a fireworks display to be at a certain outpost. The fishing was chill but pointless as no dabloons

    @SeaOfThieves I understand that you want to go for the grinding mechanic but the problem lies in there's nothing to grind if there's no alternate way of earning a suitable amount of doubloons after completing the deeds of the weekender, there has to be another way to earn doubloons.

    Captain BlackeyeThe2nd (Yo/Ho) (@BlackeyeThe2nd) reported

    @BananaStove @SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves The problem is that making the sword more available WASNT what we wanted. I wanted MORE than FIVE items to commemorate our time. I just didn't want the rewards to stop at 4k doubloons. Am I too greedy asking for, like, doubloon boots? Gimme some Doubloots for 10k or sumn, idk.

    @poetniknowit @SeaOfThieves I know that it wont. Ive been sitting 42 kegs for a long time, even before smugglers. The problem is when you finish all the crates, but still need 50+ kegs. Getting a single keg has a chance of 4% per bottle. But hey Drew said theyre working on the fix now, lets hope its good.

    @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? 🤔

    @DrD1sconnect @SeaOfThieves I play solo about 75% of the time. I see no issues? Except maybe level 5 reapers diving into the server. But I just check map, sell, then attack!

    @SeaOfThieves Great actually. I have been playing other games and havent plyed since January. I keep checking but continue to see the devs are just as incompetent as always! To those playing, your complaints are being heard but they dont care and it will continue to be a broken mess

  • GotItFromEbay
    GotItFromEbay (@GotItFromEbay) reported

    @LUCKYY10P Big L for @RareLtd and @SeaOfThieves. Game needs an injection of players right now and TBP gets DDOS'd off of it by cheaters. Shame too because I feel like SoT would be right up his alley of crew/friend shenanigans.

    Some didn't like #SeaOfThieves by @theburntpeanut Which of the three options would have been better? 1) Cheaters crash server 2) 8 hours of boring empty sea sailing + one battle against AFK solo-loop 3) HG where they'll be sunk so quickly they won't even know what happened

    @SeaOfThieves The deed for act one for damaging someone with a cannonball in a faction battle is not working, I’ve damaged people multiple times and even killed someone with one, any chance we can get this addressed when possible? Thank you!

    @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.

    @SeaOfThieves It's crazy how quick people forget this is a pirate game when someone starts shooting at them But it's only a problem when they are sinking and not you

    Please I beg you, PLEASE FIX this Cannon De-Synch happening right now. Cannons are completely out of Control especially in Hourglass when both Masts are down. 50/50 that your cannons actually land where you shoot them. @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support #SeaOfThieves

  • __DUBB3D__
    DUBB3D (@__DUBB3D__) reported

    The recent decisions from the Sea of Thieves team has been unacceptable and quite frankly out of line. The more recent issues being Season 19, and the Blackwyche set releasing in the Emporium are the final straws on the camels back for a lot of players, myself included. More specifically, the way both of these situations have been handled is nothing short of disgraceful. I'm not talking about the team scrapping content from Season 19, but rather trying to keep the 3-Act structure, when we were just told by Drew that that formula does not work, yet it's still getting implemented. "Transparency" as a whole is something we have heard from the team almost every video it seems. However, it has become corporate speak rather than details of current problems (and what they're doing to fix it) as well as discussion of the large-scale full roadmap for the future plans of the game. This is highly alarming. We are far beyond the point of needing to be surprised for anything. PLEASE just tell us what you are going to do for the game and what is going on. We need full honesty and openness about what the team is doing to show that our valuable time is not being wasted like it currently is, and for overall improvement of game health. Of course the next community direct could be the start of seeing some future plans, but again, this needed to happen sooner (years ago) and it's honestly too late regardless of what happens now. We see Rare is underwater and profits are decreasing at an alarming rate. We see the team scrambling to push out any amount of half-baked content. The overall quality bar has been set so drastically low it is embarrassing. None of it has proper creative and intuitive lead like it used to and it leaves us with less and less for every update. The game does not feel as full or exciting as it used to, despite there being so much. Another huge problem, especially right now, are the community managers and moderators. So many of these people in the past have bullied, belittled, blocked, and flat out banned players for voicing their opinions. There needs to be a drastic change in this team in regards to how it is structured and how they are allowed to use their authority and operate. I am not wishing for anyone to get fired, but rather repositioned to a different role, because managing a community and handling feedback is obviously not in their skill set. Some people in particular are J0toro and Shirah, who have been the worst when it comes to this. It feels like they have no boss watching or directing what they do and it has been like this for years. They are on a super loose leash and it feels like they are completely separate from the rest of the leadership team. They speak and act on what they feel and what they want and it is super bad. These people SHOULD NOT be the public representation of Rare, specifically Sea of Thieves at all. There is also a MASSIVE disconnect between how Rare views Sea of Thieves, and how the players view Sea of Thieves. Yes, it is Rare's game and Microsoft's IP, but our wants and needs as the players who actually spend time in the game needs to be paramount in decision making in the future. In short, what I am trying to say, is that Rare and specifically the directors of Sea of Thieves need to either get this game back on course before it is too late, or announce that they are working on Sea of Thieves 2. People only speak up because they care. If nobody spoke up in the face of problems, then it would be even worse than it is now. The fact that still so many people voice their opinions is a good thing, so please stop censoring us or just flat out ignoring us. #SeaOfThieves

    @surivSHANKS @ITZH4ZARD @SeaOfThieves The problem is not the orange association box, its the purple confirmed cheater box. No idea how they got that information though.
