    @bsouth1984 @SeaOfThieves Hit reg is hard to fix, you aren't a game dev. Clearly if they could it would be fixed, so how about since you think it's so easy to fix this major issue get off ur butt and go get a job at Rare to fix the issue YOURSELF.

  • imsimplymayhem simplymayhem (@imsimplymayhem) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Have had ‘Lavenderbush’ error message for days so my ship’s name is SOS @SoT_Support

  • ZombieJesus198 Ian Henry (@ZombieJesus198) reported

    @1Chenzo @ThisIsMySwamp__ @SeaOfThieves There's attacking other players, and then there is going out of your way in making other players not have a good time. That's the issue this game has. Nothing kills the fun faster than griefers.

  • Capt_Vicarious Mike'o T00L o'Sillaman (@Capt_Vicarious) reported

    @WeAreAllJudges @SeaOfThieves ".... You certainly wouldn't be in any trouble!"

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Brimstone1117 @SeaOfThieves So don't stack for 6 hours? This is a skill issue nothing more. Rare will get money elsewhere I don't think they need to juice every last penny out of everyone they see

  • caitelatte Caitlin (@caitelatte) reported

    @thepingmachine @SeaOfThieves yeah just looks like video compression errors

  • delilahpunxie kevin (@delilahpunxie) reported

    someone needs to put @SeaOfThieves down like a horse with a broken leg, it just hurts seeing this go down right in front of our eyes

  • Draco03275699 Draco (@Draco03275699) reported

    @7eventy7_ @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Because they certainly are. I *personally* don't run into any game breaking bugs regularly, so quite honestly I don't see the merit in the phrase "fix Sea of Thieves". The game, for the most part, works as intended. Yes, occasionally bugs will occur but that us the price 3/?

  • Chaorie2 Chaorie (TeamFlameheart) (@Chaorie2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves As I think were gonna be able to have a few: Galli: Broken Ghost Sloop: Broken Blade

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @bsouth1984 @SeaOfThieves bro **** talks the good things of the game but doesn't pay attention when the devs actually explain what's going on with the bad things. if you had actually been paying attention to what's going on, they already addressed hitreg and that it's a lot harder to fix than assumed

  • MclovinMk2 McLovin.Mk2 (@MclovinMk2) reported

    @bsouth1984 @SeaOfThieves It's something they can and should fix, but they have other priorities

  • ZenVendetta360 Zen Vendetta (@ZenVendetta360) reported

    @Beefcake128 @SeaOfThieves No profanity .... might be a slight issue, but I am sure we will think of something!

  • AM_49Z Az (@AM_49Z) reported

    @BBT_23 @SeaOfThieves I agree with you man,this game has enough cosmetics,and I will hate this game if they keep adding this useless thing 5 seasons and we haven't seen a real event since pirate life, I will be glad if they fix the bugs and problems instead of adding cosmetics

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @NeonNyte_ @SeaOfThieves That would just make it completely unfair for new players, it would unbalance anything of it just being a literal skill issue, it becomes old players > new players simply due to how much time they have on the game

  • Jett_Dragonite drg0 (@Jett_Dragonite) reported

    @bsouth1984 @SeaOfThieves Like I said since you seem to know so much about how game coding works, and game companies in general then go work for them and fix it yourself.

  • MickJayPlays 🕹MickJayPlays🕹 (@MickJayPlays) reported

    4/x All in all, the showcase was pretty solid. Looking forward to a lot of stuff. Also, may need to install @SeaOfThieves again, unless they haven’t fixed the griefer problem.

  • bsouth1984 The1ShroudedGhost (@bsouth1984) reported

    @Jett_Dragonite @SeaOfThieves That's not how this works.... they've created this along with a plethora of other issues. This is what happened when you hire c+ students out of college

  • Allonewolf_666 Lonewolf (@Allonewolf_666) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The "Fix Hit Reg" ship.

  • D4rkSyl3nce D4rkSyl3nce (@D4rkSyl3nce) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm going to name the ship "Game Bugs" because when the ship gets holes I can say I'm doing more to fix game bugs than rare is. (Black screen of doom, long mermaid time, hitreg, bucketreg, rear brig cannons glitching) #SeaOfThieves @RareLtd

  • SteveMc74806767 Steve McKnight (@SteveMc74806767) reported

    @MinkRoyal @SeaOfThieves I agree. Instead of adding more stuff perhaps it would be better to fix what’s causing all the current problems.

  • Arzurus you’re not my supervisor (@Arzurus) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Has there been any work done on removing the portal server hoping glitch? It is really is really frustrating having a level 5 reaper spawn in right on top of you.

  • 7eventy7_ 7eventy7 (@7eventy7_) reported

    @SamuelCFord1017 @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I'd give up all future updates if they would fix the game.

  • Bite_Size_Pixel Veech (@Bite_Size_Pixel) reported

    @SeaOfThieves now fix hit reg

  • OhhSass ❀ ˚ · . Sass . · ˚ ❀ // Mermaid Vtuber (@OhhSass) reported

    @regiuum @SeaOfThieves No, pretty sure they're working on game breaking bugs. Server lag and ping and disconnects have been a good huge problem lately.

  • YoungyoungAfRoW ogyoungblood11@gmail (@YoungyoungAfRoW) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix y’all dam respond it ******* sucks and fix your severe

  • Salavixs Gay Platypus 🏴‍☠️ He/Him (@Salavixs) reported

    @mariastorma @SeaOfThieves They literally told you guys hitreg is not a simple thing to fix. So keep your shirt on and be patient. And people have literally waited years for this update, so don’t act like it’s not a big deal. It’s huge for us Pirates.

  • bsouth1984 The1ShroudedGhost (@bsouth1984) reported

    @CGallerine @SeaOfThieves Which goes to show they're a mediocre development team.... it's been 4 years thats insane.... what they should have done, was partnered up with more prestigious developers and ask how to fix it... instead, we've had over 3 years of reskinned horseshit...

  • MagnusFortisYT 👺 (@MagnusFortisYT) reported

    @WhoIsDCcapital @SeaOfThieves Good news is, the game is at least 6 months out and there's time to fix stuff but I really don't want this to be a typical Bethesda launch. The game is too big for modders to fix.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @bsouth1984 @SeaOfThieves They have to do something in the meantime they can't just dedicate 4 years to hitreg and expect players to stick around with zero content being added. The hitreg isn't an easy fix since they have to track so many floating and moving objects, including bullets, all at once.

  • KibbleKnight KibbleKnight (@KibbleKnight) reported

    @xmummaof3x @ThisIsMySwamp__ @SeaOfThieves I personally don't care to go **** on people who are PvE'ing but I also don't think that people have the right to complain about it. If people want to do what they want more power to them. But when they make it other peoples' problem it turns into an issue.
