    @SeaOfThieves I got rolled by 2 known issues with the new Merchant quest. Couldn't get to the end of it because of terrain obstruction/cabin locked even with the key. Sucks when you're solo and you wasted all that time. Hoping for a quick fix on your end.

    @Paddefjert @SeaOfThieves Rare lol its all i can say. Id rather they delayed any update and make sure it worked properly than play and nothing work. I've been on today as my sisters downloaded it and we did 2 more and only 1 we got to finish properly thats 1 out of 5 voyages. But lots of gliches and lag.

  • EL_PEPEillo PEPEillo (@EL_PEPEillo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves IT WAS a fat black mom, very good. As you know, I can no longer play, I bought the game in 2018 including the xobx pass for pc, and #microsoft canceled my game pass, I asked @microsfthelp for help and there is no way to solve your ERROR.

  • Sinsabre Sinsabre (@Sinsabre) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is there a known issue with trials not being registered as completed? Caught 10+ fishes now and "Go fishing" is still locked. Same with putting blue or white laterns on your ship.

  • Boil_Boi Boil Boy (@Boil_Boi) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your ****. And hour wasted searching for map pieces and another hour wasted waiting for "No Name" to finish.

    @SeaOfThieves pass is still broken for me. Just did a tall tale with a friend, when we finished he got progress checked off an I did not. No reason for me to grind out the pass if it doesn't work.

  • Traviz14278 Traviz (@Traviz14278) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Problems. 1. When doing new quest, upon unlocking captains quarters, I get stuck in the doorway when going in and out 2. At one point I was unable to retrieve wood from my wood storage on ship 3. Flame heart randomly spawned near me while getting sugar crates

  • TheEtahn TheEthanTurtle (@TheEtahn) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are you guys aware of the issues with bugs causing either the key, the final sunken ship or BOTH to just not appear? Read some people had issues with Golden Sands Outpost final destination and had it personally happen to me last night.

  • dahlvpx1 boycott Activision (@dahlvpx1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves they borderline retarded people of RARE. Fix the hit reg in this game, ty. fix the base game before shitting out new recycled content. Its not that hard to fix. just do it.

  • Misticshy Captain Steel Feather Mistic (@Misticshy) reported

  • ZavocOriginal Zavoc (@ZavocOriginal) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Sea of thieves, I have had a few issues with my computer. For now, i'm not sure if games such as Sea of Thieves, is not optimized perfectly, within the last year, so I gets a few performance issues, even with my beast computer. Is it just me, or is there something to work on?
