    @SeaOfThieves When will you guys address the chapter 2 sunken pearl problems because there are many and half the time you can't even do the commendations and I've had a couple of times where I can't even complete the chapter please fix if I think I can speak for everyone.

  • echofivedelta Jared Winteregg (@echofivedelta) reported

    fix your **** @SeaOfThieves, its really getting annoying all the bugs my friends & I are encountering with the new update. The new story is unplayable all the way through.

  • Nox13last Noxedwin Tepes ⛧ (@Nox13last) reported

    Man, I remembered why @SeaOfThieves is such a bad game. I enjoyed playing it, but the game's still broken and the community's still horribly toxic. Rare either just doesn't *get it*, or they're making an effort to ignore the easy solutions that might ameliorate the big complaints

  • werewookiee 🖱⌨Mickey Bennet❎☁🎮 (@werewookiee) reported

    Are Tales 3-5 in @SeaOfThieves Pirate's Life as embarrassingly broken as Tale 2? That was the worst gaming experience I've had in years.

  • xMYHATREDx PGG | xMYHATREDx (@xMYHATREDx) reported

    @xpiercedandmod1 @SeaOfThieves Managed - barely - to get through the second tall tale last night, but the hot fix this morning doesn’t seem to have done anything for starting the 3rd tall tale.

  • smashleemonster Ashlee Wilson (@smashleemonster) reported

    @SeaOfThieves not going to lie the fact that we can't work on the commendations for Sunken Pearl and pvp in tall tale causing a glich! This is becoming very very frustrating and I can't even report the issue. Fix your game man

  • Valor_Omega_SoT Valor Omega (@Valor_Omega_SoT) reported

    @FadingMonkey420 @SeaOfThieves Literally? I think not. I had zero issues.

  • SamBrew15058901 Captain Blackheart (@SamBrew15058901) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I so far had one glitch at tall tale 2

  • Mattkraken11 Mattkraken (@Mattkraken11) reported

    I am so sick and tired of spending ALL NIGHT playing @SeaOfThieves just for the game to bug out!! Someone HMU when they fix this game. 3 nights in a row I rage quit because the encounters break the game!

  • NotYourTadpole Malibu Orange (@NotYourTadpole) reported

    @arianaromo @SeaOfThieves I'm having the same issue and literally wasted hours, since I tried it three times, but the result is always the same: despawn. guess we have to wait until it gets fixed 😭

  • jeffstire5 BeNz Goopymage01 (@jeffstire5) reported

    @FadingMonkey420 @SeaOfThieves Tall Tale #1 - One time going through the portal, never happened again. Tall Tale #2 has more issues when more than one team is present but I've also ran into the siren heart not spawning once. Besides that just the near bugs that every game irons out in a week or two.

  • anubis316 Anubis316 🏳️‍🌈 (@anubis316) reported

    Oh dear @SeaOfThieves the latest hot fix I think has made me very buggy, walking is hard, I’m going all over the place

  • MarKow_PowLow MarKow PowLow (@MarKow_PowLow) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hello, I recently buying the game on Steam, wanting to play again to SoT and when I log in, I choose to log in to my Windows Hello account and it says : "We had a problem authenticating you. Please try again." If you had a solution, I would thank you very much.

  • ambassadorsgra1 AmbassadorsGrave (@ambassadorsgra1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why is the latest hot fix still insanely buggy...

  • Buku_Bidackski Buku Bidackski (@Buku_Bidackski) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Top tip, don't try to use a gun to kill another pirate, with all the content they pumped out to get you here, they have completely broken combat. Just grab a sword close your eyes and swing swing swing.

  • MedvedEthan Ethan Medved (@MedvedEthan) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The second tall tale is super bugged. If literally replayed it 8 TIMES to get all the commendations and every time there’s a new glitch. One time the sirens didn’t spawn when they were supposed to. The chest of sorrow just floats around if you pick it up before (1/2)

  • smotassem Alispin (@smotassem) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your game!

  • LilVintage666 Lil Vintage (@LilVintage666) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your game Holy, you said you fixed the ADS bug but I jus got it in combat and it’s worse then before now it jus randomly happens

  • juddegg Judegg (@juddegg) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm loving the update but for the love of god please fix the chest of everlasting sorrow glitch. i've wasted hours

  • Ethan46781011 Ethan ツ (@Ethan46781011) reported

    @SeaOfThieves It’s still not fixed... it’s not that ******* hard to fix a game. @SeaOfThieves

  • ZachLovesBud 𖤐ℤ𖤐 (@ZachLovesBud) reported

    @SeaOfThieves We just spent two and a half hours got emissary 5 oos and got "Marblebeard" server errors. Pretty coool

  • Kcaugustin Kendall Augustin (@Kcaugustin) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaofTheives Any word on a fix for the chest of everlasting sorrow? It is disappearing for many when they go through the water gate.

  • getefix2 Will Nouwen (@getefix2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey, I'm having trouble viewing the global ledgers, is there an issue with the servers or will it be on my end?

  • nikolsen15 Nik Olsen (@nikolsen15) reported

    fix your **** @SeaOfThieves

  • YigitOner1 Yigit Oner (@YigitOner1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves What do I do if I get a lavender beard error?

  • BullEaston Easton Bull (@BullEaston) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else having a problem with merchant alliance money/rep not registering? Trying to get my friend to PL and none of the flameheart crates etc will sell for cash

  • jeffstire5 BeNz Goopymage01 (@jeffstire5) reported

    @FadingMonkey420 @SeaOfThieves Tale #1 - One time going through the portal, never happened again. Tall Tale #2 has more issues when more than one team is present but I've also ran into the siren heart not spawning once. The other ongoing issue is your ship not letting you go on it. Only happened once on spawn.
