  • designdeity2 Captain-ish Design Deity (@designdeity2) reported

    I have noticed this morning that the majority of screen shots tweets of the recent #SeaOfThieves update are being deleted. I try to comment and I get an error noting that my “comment was sent to drafts because the tweet has been deleted.” Is this just me or others seeing this?

  • Falcon59875668 Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @darkoutlawangel @SeaOfThieves They are not ********. They are just playing pvpve game. In this game you can get loot by many ways and one of them is stealing it from others. If you don't know how to lose and blame it on the players who beat you because they were better, then I think there's a problem with you

  • HobeJoshua Joshua Hobé (@HobeJoshua) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Yes please fix all of your bugs, this game is so ****

  • staticzthegod staticz (@staticzthegod) reported

  • HobeJoshua Joshua Hobé (@HobeJoshua) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Outpost Cosmetics Seared Forsaken Ashes Equipment and Weapons The Outpost equipment and weapon shops now offer the Seared Forsaken Ashes items for purchase with gold. Only 1 set whilst the pe is filled up again, didn't fix the adventure. This game really is ****

  • john_toboggan JohnToboggan (@john_toboggan) reported

  • KTLIVEKT KT (@KTLIVEKT) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is this going to fix the werid fps drop when I'm still at 270fps and 20ping

  • Anthony05213209 Anthony M. (@Anthony05213209) reported

    @KariminoGaming @SeaOfThieves I hope they will take your money to fix the game lol

  • jajacobson55 OpenSourcerer - Netrunner (@jajacobson55) reported

    @Thaysin1 @SeaOfThieves I think the root of the problem is that there are two distinct different markets for the game, and they(rare) keep trying to cater to both when they're actually mutually exclusive.

  • ryan_coll743 Ryan Collier (@ryan_coll743) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are forts not working for anybody else, I will be doing a fof or skelly fort and one will spawn in a place out of reach making it impossible to finish

  • Seven7mm1985 SevenMM1985 (@Seven7mm1985) reported

    @01_alastor @SeaOfThieves yeah i hope they fix it to

  • RealUnidentfied UnIdentifiedMan (@RealUnidentfied) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why is it that after several updates buying merchant commodities still glitch and do not give you them unless its later on or in another game. This has got to be fixed

  • Sprottyyy Maik (@Sprottyyy) reported

    @CTMiniManiac @SeaOfThieves Dude, still. Way too late. The fact they are prioritizing new cosmetics over fixing issues is stupid.

  • ajwt11_ T 🥁. (@ajwt11_) reported

    @LThepirate @SeaOfThieves Happened to a lot of pirates too. Rare are aware of it and are bringing a fix within 72 hours

  • devarissontop DeVariss (@devarissontop) reported

    @Flizzar @SeaOfThieves They probably considered this then ran into an issue with the mesh applying to the skin of certain shirts and because of the due date of the update decided “meh, just don’t let it show the shirt” lol. That’s probably the worst explanation ever of how pirate cosmetics work 😭

  • DylanBrace 🎃BoomerTheMONSTER🦂 (@DylanBrace) reported

    @Thaysin1 @SeaOfThieves The most broken part about it is the devs thinking PvPvE is possible without upsetting a significant portion of their player base. Some people don't want to worry about another player coming in and ruining hours of play.

  • F0XY_Games F0XY (@F0XY_Games) reported

    @SeaOfThieves also fix the damn world events

  • CGallerine Gallerine 🎨 (@CGallerine) reported

    @HobeJoshua @SeaOfThieves Stop playing if its so terrible as you claim, solves both your problem of not liking the game and solves our problem of having to read you whinging on and on in the comments where ultimately nothing will change because you're just harassing a couple of CM's at the end of the day.

  • chrishoulden86 chris (@chrishoulden86) reported

    @SeaOfThieves take it ya didnt fix the bo spawn active skelly forts fml
