    @SeaOfThieves Did this fix hit reg? Because we all know this is still a huge issue. And we also know that nothing has been done to try and improve it. It's getting worse. 4 sniper shots to kill someone not eating? Chainshots just phasing through masts? And yet you say otherwise each update?

  • Cloudnine5000 IDK (@Cloudnine5000) reported

    @EddieThe_Bear @MaxTremblayTV @SeaOfThieves yes actually, hopefully it’ll motivate them to fix it. it’s been an issue for way too long now. They fix it, people will shut up about it, simple as that

  • Russeeeeell_x Ronnie Russell (@Russeeeeell_x) reported

    @Xbox @SeaOfThieves Every time I go to load up a game it says that I need to sign in with the person who bought it even I’m signed it to it I’ve restarted the Xbox and turned it off and back on and it still says the same anyone know what to do?

  • Azunight309 MentalJeff (@Azunight309) reported

    @Antonuwa1 @Xbox @SeaOfThieves The servers are currently having issues checking ownership of games for some people apparently. I'm having the same issue.

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hi @SeaOfThieves and @RareLtd I'm just wondering what you guys plan to re-skin next as you never actually make the effort to create new models unless it goes in the emporium. Also when will you actually fix all game breaking bugs that you've ignored now? It's beyond a joke.

  • Shanick92 Shanick (@Shanick92) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @ChappersChapman So in the new Pendragon Issue he gets something from an Island. That Island looks like Sailors Bounty. Is it maybe that he got it from that destroyed tunnel?

    @Vhaeriel @SeaOfThieves Plunder Valley… a bird with a broken wing?

  • CWB261992 CW (@CWB261992) reported

    @LumaTr1x @SeaOfThieves Never. It's so complex that I doubt we'll ever see a fix

  • Demon5379 Demon (@Demon5379) reported

  • JerseyDee22 Damon Heyer (@JerseyDee22) reported

    @Krasnooo @MaxTremblayTV @SeaOfThieves They can't fix it but can make it worse lol

  • ultima_wolf72 Captain Kayleigh O'Rourke (@ultima_wolf72) reported

    @BushiO0 @SeaOfThieves Says the first issue of the Pendragon Miniseries.

  • MateSpianSVK Mate Spian (@MateSpianSVK) reported

    @IgobyDanny @SeaOfThieves This error is still active? I must be in beta because of this.. 😢

  • Danny90427539 Danny (@Danny90427539) reported

    @Xbox @SeaOfThieves Your servers are down fix them

  • Demon5379 Demon (@Demon5379) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @comiXology Fix the LAG. Horrible since update this morning

  • kore_virus Kore Virus (@kore_virus) reported

    @Lukathy95 @FOXD11E @SeaOfThieves hit reg is a latency issue, the more added to the server offloading it seems hit reg tick rates of the server wont improve, at the moment its sad to say but sot has one of the worst hit reg problems then any other game, and its not a hard game

  • jaredgoddeeeenn ThatNZguy (@jaredgoddeeeenn) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Just saying, as someone who loves the game, you're letting the community down. If it were a key priority, it would've been fixed a year or so ago, but instead, it's constantly getting worse, never better. Fix. Your. Hit. Reg. How can the NAL be a thing when half of it is RNG.

  • abadwal1 abadwal_ (@abadwal1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport Please fix forza because it wont load in for next gen consoles

  • IgobyDanny Danny💬 (@IgobyDanny) reported

    @MateSpianSVK @SeaOfThieves Kill and restart the app and join the game. Once I do that I start getting spammed with all my season stats. But that doesn't keep from the error occuring again. Also usually happens in areas that have a lot of other players. So yeah, in a fight, I'll get booted.

  • ReallyBlazedFox Austringer (@ReallyBlazedFox) reported

    @abadwal1 @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport Why are you asking the Sea of Thieves devs to fix a game made by another dev entirely?

  • Ladder_of_Glass Dreamer (@Ladder_of_Glass) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport I keep wanting to give this another go, but never really seeing any significant, interesting gameplay updates. Mightve missed something for season 2 but cosmetics arent the issue

  • b3n3va b3n3va (@b3n3va) reported

    @xboxuk @SeaOfThieves Yo Xbox fix your servers plz

  • JerseyDee22 Damon Heyer (@JerseyDee22) reported

    @CheeseBefehl @SeaOfThieves Find a friend, meet people and party up problem solved, people cry about playing solo but yet don't find people to play with to help. If you play solo deal with it. Stop crying cuz you won't change

  • kayceadea dietz (@kayceadea) reported
