    @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.

    @CaptainQuaa @SeaOfThieves Sadly , Shrouded ghost is gatekeep beside a RNG game mechanic and Spawn timer mechanic. Rarity is not the trouble , but how meg spawn is the main issue ... Arround 1h45 to get a single meg .... and only 0.02 % of chance to get the great one.

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves #Playstation5 #PS5 Your last update completely deleted my years of progress. Everything I owned and all my faction levels have been deleted. On top of that I am forced to re-sign in to my Microsoft account every single time I get on. Why bother playing now?

    @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves No, you are right. None of us should be asking partners to stand down. I am allowed to choose whose content I want to support as a result. The problem is that these things have been going on for years at this point. It could have been prevented if Rare stepped in and stopped CM a long time ago. Rare is 100% accountable for who they have representing their game. CM are representatives. I ain't gonna force anyone to step down or take a stand, but if it appears that someone is trying to leverage a charity stream to boost their numbers and appear as a good person, for a charity that doesn't actively help OUR victims, I'm unfollowing them. If they are the least bit fake, I'm unfollowing. That's my choice and no ones gonna miss me around...so the decision is most likely mutual anyways. I absolutely do want to see a bigger push though and nothing is going to change without it. Hell, some streamers haven't mentioned it but they have been streaming other games lately...silently protesting already despite making a statement. Kudos to them.

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Ah yes, only listen to the big streamers. That’ll fix the game 💀

    @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

    @DBflx @SeaOfThieves Yes @SeaOfThieves this is a big frustrating issue with the flags not counting

  • Nemesis2K
    ꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reported

    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.

    @LazyLakePaul @SeaOfThieves Imma warn you, a few streamers who’ve played SoT recently kept getting DDOS

    @ToodleJerr3196 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Absolutely agree. Even with the actual game issues currently, I still have some hope for a future. But it's going to be very hard to trust Rare moving forward, and they are going to need to do some major work to gain player's trust back.

    @SeaOfThieves Any update on why the Xbox servers have severe lag every-time anyone plays ? Or gonna keep pretending it isn’t a thing 👏🏻

  • potatosordfight
    Will Dozer 🌐 (@potatosordfight) reported

    @Giovann69642526 @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves to afford just the curse, nevermind a single other thing in BOTH of the black markets, and you have to remember that this is only the first black market drop. They intend to add more to it consistently, which will only make this issue worse.

  • DayKahDos
    DK2️⃣ (@DayKahDos) reported

    @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves The problem with the voyage cap isn’t even the 3 per pirate - it’s the fact you can only complete 3 before it gives gold instead of doubloons. Apologies if this is what you meant - but I figured that we were gonna be able to do at least 12 (3x4 on gally) but couldn’t obviously

    @NessieDoes @SeaOfThieves @j0toro Since someone in a Bruno Files video is asking me to send proof of them knowing “everything”, I will clarify with this: When I said “they knew everything for a long time” I was alluding to the pig incident when I said that, which they did know about and deflected by turning their eyes away from it. The linked image below is a direct reference of proof for that. And by “they”, or “Employees” I mean Shirah and J0toro who are employed Community Managers working for Sea Of Thieves who were doing nothing about this issue, yet still endorsed and promoted Bruno

    @hasmoq @SeaOfThieves Oh? That's crazy because I had this happen to me a few days ago, it's in my videos on twitch. I got the unstable connection notification and decided to log out and restart PC. Is this a way to know there are hackers? I've also encountered the Garrison dive glitch 1/2

    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.

  • AboutSelphy

    Some @SeaOfThieves viewers/streamers really need a reality check on what cheating actually looks like. Watched a streamer get sniped 3x in an hour today. The fights were suspicious (insane air shots, constant mid-air hits, etc.), but the chat was screaming "cheater" for things that were easily debunked. Ladder speeds were normal on VOD, and "insta-kills" were just players not being full HP. (I also encounter this kind of problem, but I always check a clip out or rethink what happened) It’s easy to lose cool live, but we have to analyze before we accuse. Grateful the streamer kept a level head. The REAL issue? Public sites still exist that track specific players and server ship counts. How is this still live after a months? Cloudflare should be handing over data for a lawsuit at this point. Hoping this reaches the right eyes. @ChappersChapman @S0nicbob

    @AlmtyChcknPoo @SeaOfThieves To be fair some of us kinda blow ***. I care more about numerous sot community moderators blocking me for talking about quality control issues within the game instead of glazing ******** out of it like a fat kid preparing a toaster strudel for himself.

    @WazzaC92 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Other players have to put time and effort into multiple event weekends, while many players used this bug/glitch to buy everything right away, so these players (apparently including you) DID take advantage of that.

    @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.
