  • CaptMcGuffin Captain McGuffin (@CaptMcGuffin) reported

    @Chicken_in_hat @SeaOfThieves I mean it sucks, but that's inherit risk of having the hourglass and I don't think it's that big of a problem. The fact they were always coming back is annoying. Maybe they could make it general, but I'm sure people would complain a lot.

  • GreatTweetJohn Great Tweets By John (@GreatTweetJohn) reported

    PvP @SeaOfThieves streamers that play 8-10 hours a day really on here going “Stop complaining, just earn enough to buy a ship, spend 30 minutes or 10k+ gold to stock up, queue up, get sunk in 30 seconds, then spend more gold and time to queue up again what’s the issue?”

  • MacioOW Macio (@MacioOW) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves You guys really need to fix some of your game breaking bugs. Hit reg on players and 1 hour long que times for pvp is ridiculous.

  • Capt_Bonedust Captain Bonedust (@Capt_Bonedust) reported

    @YooKaydw @SeaOfThieves Oh NOW you have a problem with them. They've been like this since forever. Your fault for letting them get the angle first.

  • PirusVr Pirus (@PirusVr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your servers and bugs, clean up the cheaters, and reign in your dev teams. For real, who thought it was a good idea to spawn supplies right in front of moving ships to start these events? At least have the presence of mind to remove the explosive kegs from the spawn pool!

  • sitrishh Sitrish (@sitrishh) reported

    @legilimanzy @SeaOfThieves Just like there are aimbot, etc, this is also in the pvp mode, so .. it is what it is. They need to fix this stuff asap.

  • EddieThe_Bear EddieTheBear (@EddieThe_Bear) reported

    Just had a handful of really fun games in SoT, however my microphone was not working. A new bug since the last update. 50% of playing for me me is being able to talk to people, so I really hope they fix this. #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate

  • CaptMcGuffin Captain McGuffin (@CaptMcGuffin) reported

    @Chicken_in_hat @SeaOfThieves I'm confused on the problem. Wasn't it because you had the hourglass on? Meaning you agreed to the risk of going to a different server?

  • UlfricDrake Ulfric Drake (@UlfricDrake) reported

    @legilimanzy @SeaOfThieves Look at it this way. They'll build their win streak and build up their skill rating... which will bite them hard when Rare fix this, when they end up matching vs people who have their level of wins by legit means.

    @GREENRA56347271 @SeaOfThieves Who needs to fix invincibility bugs when you have cool art lol you’re such a hater #phuzzybondontop #dge

  • bobjoe54215696 captain hare formally known as bob joe (@bobjoe54215696) reported

    @MWSlayerX @SeaOfThieves @Sportzzmama it looks like hitreg or the invincible glitch

  • flamemind10 FlameMind (@flamemind10) reported

    @SeaOfThieves it would be cool if you could fix all the bugs and issues surrounding the pvp system, its making it very hard and unfair to play to be honest (specially if you are the invader)

  • DazzlinDizzy Dizzy (@DazzlinDizzy) reported

    @JeolladoDaimyo @PapJani01 @SeaOfThieves Rare is working on hit reg believe it or not lol. A huge reason for all the server issues are the fact Rare gas to support Xbox one.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @CreatorOrder @SeaOfThieves The reason why the hit rate of matchmaking is broken is that the battle skills of the users of this game are not evenly distributed. Since the extreme top users and the extreme bottom users are divided, and the bottom users have already left,

  • Evilslither1 cpt teach (@Evilslither1) reported

    @flamemind10 @SeaOfThieves What bug and issue?

  • odanobonaga1 Oda Nobonaga (@odanobonaga1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else having supply issues where you aren't getting crates and can't but supps from shipwright

  • moparsmind Mo Par (@moparsmind) reported

    @EightdollarMusk @JoeNeate1 @SeaOfThieves Agreed. Fix #SeaOfThieves with a pve mode

  • getgoodatsot Average Blunder Sword user (@getgoodatsot) reported

    @sitrishh @legilimanzy @SeaOfThieves They can’t fix aim bot lol

  • Phil__480 Phil480 ☠️🇬🇧 #SOTFest (@Phil__480) reported

    @GH_Honamar @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd ...vote to continue fighting for the faction. So I had to go to outpost to cash in the hourglass. Very frustrating situation but glad I was able to sink them. Hopefully Rare are on the case and will fix this.

  • Zoferok Zoferok (@Zoferok) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I love the new pvp matchmaking system, J Don have to be searching for pvp when I'm in the mood for a pvp session. But many bugs have submerged with the new system and you HAVE to fix them as soon as possible. Talking about GAME BREAKING bugs such as being stuck in a

  • cgrants09 yup (@cgrants09) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix hit reg ffs

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The inside of the game is ***** All kinds of bugs and tdm crew glitch. Please be aware of the problem Matchmaking takes more than 30 minutes and 10 minutes to supply, and the game only takes 15 minutes, but 40 minutes for one game is meaningless

  • AlmtyChcknPoo almtychcknpoo has Android and can't get blue check (@AlmtyChcknPoo) reported

    @YooKaydw @SeaOfThieves We should just remove cannonballs so that our ships don't sink either...no holes...no problem. Then we can all hold hands and sing kumbaya...

  • Chicken_in_hat 🐓Chicken🐓 🏺 (@Chicken_in_hat) reported

    @seaofthieves make it so all ships server merge when sinking, or make it so it only happens in matchmade fights. The problem you've tried to solve has now just become one sided.

  • byboserbruh bsr (@byboserbruh) reported

    @YooKaydw @SeaOfThieves They must remove pvp until they find a way to fix/change the reg 🤡

  • Chicken_in_hat 🐓Chicken🐓 🏺 (@Chicken_in_hat) reported

    @CaptMcGuffin @SeaOfThieves I think if they made it happen to everyone, that would be more fair, and actually solve the problem they said they were trying to solve, rather than make it one sided. We couldn't even put the hourglass down at that point. It happened twice in one night.

  • flamemind10 FlameMind (@flamemind10) reported

    @Evilslither1 @SeaOfThieves people exploiting the ferry to be inmortal, people using the shores of gold to cheat the pvp system and win battles with no effort, people spawncamping invaders with 2 or more ships so they have no chance of fighting back, and many other problems

  • Charlie12425423 Charlie (@Charlie12425423) reported

    @SeaOfThieves nvm it was a glitch

  • WinterT__ WinterT❄️ (@WinterT__) reported

    After getting my butt kicked every day defending athena, I finally started winning today. 3 wins and then I called it. Every fight was a near exact fight that all came down to one small error. I'm having so much fun! #SeaOfThieves #SeaOfThievesSeason8

    @insane_navy @legilimanzy @SeaOfThieves The problem is they being rewarded for doing it. They're getting progress by doing nothing...
