  @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves That is what I mean by "not saying they are doing it correctly". First thing they should've done would've been put the people in question on leave until issues are pointed out. But then again, it's not the fault of most of the company. It's the fault of PR and also HR.

  I don’t make a lot of comments about sot issues but it is truly baffling to me how much the SoT community is blowing up right now and Rare is staying silent and dodging it. Action needs to be taken. Do better @SeaOfThieves and you need to FIRE @j0toro

  @SeaOfThieves The fact that the game is this old and you guys still can't figure out how to release an update says something about the dev team. If I was this bad at my job, I definitely wouldn't have 19 seasons to fix it

  @crudmasterTV @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob Do you mean like a counter? 🤔 Honestly, I had no problem knowing how many ships were left because the arena shrank very quickly, so you could always see how many ships were in the area. The new arena isn't that big.

  @SeaOfThieves Guys,but you really can't just end an event three days early because you released it in a broken state .You promise to restore the game to its former glory and I do see plenty of improvements, really a lot but I can't accept a mode that was already out coming back with issues.

  @Gamepi31 @IMadyax @SeaOfThieves They have been on this game since 2018 - they should know by now how long they need - and also the issues were not anything like as bad as this in the first few years!

  @SeaOfThieves ****** Twitch Drops. Broken Doubloon Weekender. Free Emote that everyone already has, get more creative. Last Ship Standing will miss the mark again. New Emporium items stink. Pocket Lizard & Last Ship Standing music is good. They once again missed the mark.

  @SeaOfThieves the absolute last thing you need to do is add a community vote you need to actually fix your games problems

  @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support @SoTCommunity i just wanna say to all the people reposting and spreading this thank you so much i can only imagine how many other players recieved false bans and automated support messages i just hope they fix whatever bug this is so it doesnt happen to anyone else

  Last ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 30+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

  @SeaOfThieves After the HG games this evening I see this game still has the same issues it has had for years. Weapons being very unbalanced, HitReg, Lagging, Stuttering, Cannons wont load or fire. Extreme desync! I really want to enjoy this game again.... Rare has yet to show me I can

  Now I understand why honesty was such a problem. Time all the mods out for 7 days., that'll show em. #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate #seperateworkfromfriends

  @SeaOfThieves To sum up: "WE ****** up the doubloons for some players, so to not punish them for an error on our side we removed the items from them" and "we hear your feedback, but we don't care" ...Like avoiding to publicly say sorry and the silence for the other things wasn't bad enough

  @Donuttboy @SeaOfThieves These broken feathers are awful and make it unfair ….. if it can’t be fixed immediately it needs to end

  @SeaOfThieves Every time I tried to load it up it would disconnect almost instantly, spawned in disconnected, stepped foot on the ship disconnected

  @TormentedTofu @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves "Correction: j0 and shirah have been deleting messages" this was a completely different CM. They CMs are rare employees and their actions reflect those of the company when doing business at work. The issue is larger than it seems despite attempts to minimize

  @SeaOfThieves Why are servers down suddenly?

  @fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves I think Sea of Thieves has bigger problems right now than the engine it runs on

  We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well. And it doesn't matter if you write to Microsoft HR or the Board or anyone else. Your email gets dumped in the trash. Your voice doesn't matter. CMs for video games can do whatever they want apparently and silence their community. If only you knew how bad it is over here. We feel your pain, though. As a consumer, we aren't allowed to have an opinion or voice them.

  Players report under the official post that the challenges are not visible AGAIN! Allegedly already fixed and tested, and again failed on live. Typical? Let me know if you encountered the issue and on what platform! #seaofthieves #bemorepirate #belessabsurd

  Custom Seas is going to be a lot of fun. It feels like it's been designed more with content creators in mind than the average player but I think most people will still get a good laugh out of it and create some memorable moments. The problem is that fun side content and seasonal content are not really the same thing. If this is supposed to help carry an entire Season alongside the occasional returning limited time event then it just is not enough by itself. Season 21 needs to land with some real weight behind it. Adventure Mode needs meaningful additions. New ships, new islands or even entirely new regions. Give players fresh reasons to explore the world and engage with the game in different ways. What we do not need is another couple of delivery missions wearing a fancy new outfit and pretending to be a major update. We have been sailing that particular route for quite a while now. #SeaOfThieves is at its best when it surprises people and gets the community genuinely excited to jump in and see what is new. It feels like it is time for that again. Anything less will mean terrible engagement.

  @supermariopla11 @SeaOfThieves That's...that's not what's causing server performance to suck. Like at all. Preventing expansion of the game, maybe. But not server issues. If anything, high end PCs with uncapped FPS and/or max graphics cause more server strain. But even that isn't the underlying issue.

  @shenanigoon @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I truly hope so. It's so disheartening to see everything that's happened. Nevermind the lack of trust from the current game issues, this happening has been a major black spot on this game/studio. I still have a sliver of hope left, but frankly I am not holding my breath.

  Nast (@NastPlays) reported 60 minutes ago

  @xxMUSHI @5623CieraRaciel @SeaOfThieves ******** you mean "story"? Also the two game modes you talk about, one is PVP, and the other doesn't allow more than one ship on a server at a time, which again, was the crux of my issue. Also, literally none of that actually addressed anything I said.

  The bug where you "Can't Grab" crates seems to exist in the Weekender Doubloon Run Voyage. If you can't grab the cargo.. Buying a captaincy item OR merchant supply crate SOMETIMES fixes the issue.. Not guaranteed every time unfortunately... The issue seems CONSISTENT at Crescent Isle specifically. Not sure if Plunder has issues or not and maybe got lucky. Hope the intel helps others! @Seaofthieves #SeaofThieves
