    @SeaOfThieves I wonder if the rune similar to Rock could mean Island? As its a closed square instead of a broken one. It would then read Pirate Ship Treasure Chest Cursed Bone Island. Hinting to something under Reapers Hideout maybe?

  • richard_hube Richard Hube (@richard_hube) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves You know that it gives more money than everything else in the game, right? And it’s still low risk high reward compared to the other high profit undertakings. U can make even more than doing FOTD with way less risk, I don’t know how u could even have a problem with that.

  • Prestom16 Mr. Lemons (@Prestom16) reported

    @moody_______ @moorbounder69 @SeaOfThieves The reward is loot and other things you get out of sinking ships and doing forts, if you don’t think loot is a reward then I don’t know what your problem is

  • notshafted Non-Binary or something, very mentally handicapped (@notshafted) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Problem with that though is, is that not many commendations could be done in a pve server, that a very select few would be pve-able, that instead of hand picking, just disable them all together.

  • ChrisPuggerson Chris N (@ChrisPuggerson) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix hit reg you ****** clowns

  • RedCoatGunman The Lord Coordinator (aka RedCoat) (@RedCoatGunman) reported

    @WCGamingTweets Fix inviting friends to game. Forming a party in either @Halo or @SeaOfThieves on PC is a colossal pain in the ***. Maybe work on #steam integration so we can easily connect with our steam friends over XBox Live.

  • PenMusical Musical Pen (@PenMusical) reported

    @FlyNadez @SeaOfThieves They need to fix hit reg before they add another gun

  • JTrudel4 Joe Trudel (@JTrudel4) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Pay the shipwright to fix all the holes on your boat. After a big battle it would be nice to properly patch tier 3 holes

  • violinscry violinscry (@violinscry) reported

    @0nautilusRafael @SeaOfThieves Simple fix is to go beat him, that fixes his lurk

  • NayfePacewell 💀☠ Capt Dead Plank ☠💀 (@NayfePacewell) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves Remember, when you lose a fight just say to yourself; "It's all broken so it doesnt matter". PSA from Nayfe Pacewell.

  • gamer_joe87 Joseph King (@gamer_joe87) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd today while I was on a solo sloop I ran into the shrouded ghost finally...After attacking, it despawned & a few seconds later it returned but instead was the Shadowmaw. Please fix! Player since day 1, was my first time ever seeing it. Super disappointing.

  • GarnetS58771802 Garnet Smith (@GarnetS58771802) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Higher tick rate servers to fix hit-reg

  • EnticeTheMalice MALICE (@EnticeTheMalice) reported

    @SeaOfThieves the code to fix hit reg is in this chest.

  • pixel_terabyte alfern (@pixel_terabyte) reported

    @SeaOfThieves While I love all you have done in this game, I really have trouble with all your ghost skulls and other items with similar effects, not like I don't like them, they are pretty cool, however I tend to get headaches from them

  • FlyNadez FlyNadez (@FlyNadez) reported

    @MLovin27883 @PenMusical @SeaOfThieves Not once! I can see where this would be an issue i will take your word for it!

  • sovesofa2 Ostepop89 (@sovesofa2) reported

    @ruttzn @SeaOfThieves I back this idea. Only bad thing is If they add me and me crew going to play to much poker and forget we sailing and crash in every Island on the map.

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @MasterAenox @SeaOfThieves More like a will issue. The players I'm talking about (not me) they dont care about skill/getting better, they want nothing to do with all that chest out nonsense that comes with pvp. I'm not afraid to give them a space to enjoy the game, because I'll still be in adventure.

  • notshafted Non-Binary or something, very mentally handicapped (@notshafted) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves I wait for the day that I get **** on again since early arena. Same reaction as any person should have if they lose to a legit player, a simple "gg" and improve on the issue. If I lose a mil in crates, I lose a mil in crates. So what?

  • Lobokicksazz Mike (@Lobokicksazz) reported

    so I bought a storage crate but it won’t let us redeem it. Anyone else having this issue on? @SeaOfThieves

  • EnticeTheMalice MALICE (@EnticeTheMalice) reported

    @SeaOfThieves the code to fix hit reg is in this safe.

  • gilesborg giles borg (@gilesborg) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey SOT, how do we report a bug now? Your support page just has a list of known issues with no place to raise fresh ones that I could see.

  • mozuhn mozuhn (@mozuhn) reported

    @Madoc95642364 @KeaneBrady @SeaOfThieves Its stupid when paired with the problems of pvp -hit reg -sword storm

  • Ethan_Soup14 Ethan (@Ethan_Soup14) reported

    @SayutaLyn @SeaOfThieves The broken hook is a different symbol that means death if I'm not mistaken I believe that something here is the swirling mist of smoke rune

  • jameshunnisett James Hunnisett (@jameshunnisett) reported

    @martTM2 @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Hey buddy had the same issue, thought I'd try something. I was playing using my daughters Xbox/MS account which is listed as a 'child' account. I guess this was blocking the process. I promoted her Xbox/MS account to 'adult' and cleared all cookies and linked again - worked.

  • demian527 Demian (@demian527) reported

    .@SeaOfThieves actually start banning people for using 120 fov or make it available to all platforms. This is unacceptable, also fix the chest beam in arena.

  • AgentGuido ***** (@AgentGuido) reported

    @IcyMethodMan @SeaOfThieves Wouldn't be goos if the community managers had to fix bugs 😬

  • SkolDuggary Skol Duggary (@SkolDuggary) reported

    Would it be too much trouble t' ask fer a wee help from the #SeaOfThieves community? I be trying t' locate a clip that was uploaded t' Twitter here some weeks back; video o' a pirate trying t' check above the fog line usin' a cannon only t' wind up on the deck o' another ship!

  • OmegaRa Omega Ra (@OmegaRa) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Microsoft @MicrosoftHelps Been trying to get Sea of Thieves re-installed and keep getting error 0x80073D0D. I have tried resetting the store app, and the Xbox app, ran sfc scan and the image clean up tool, removed old references in my registry...nothing...

  • mozuhn mozuhn (@mozuhn) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey any updates on pvp? -hit registration has been an issue since day 1 making flintlock unusable -swords damage -xbox loading times

  • J_Greenbeard Greenbeard (@J_Greenbeard) reported

    @Lukathy95 @Capren3 @SeaOfThieves Yeah too many issues that stop this being a real competitive game like hit reg which at this point feels like RnG XD
