    @theboatmover @SeaOfThieves they make up a fraction of the ecosystem *right now* but you're literally asking a gaming company to invest in it and contribute to the problem ethereum isn't much better than bitcoin. minting also requires vast amounts of energy. you're being corrupted by the prospect of money

  • MutinousMel Mel 🏴‍☠️ (@MutinousMel) reported

    @BenjaMaster_ @SeaOfThieves It’s up to date. It just sits on searching the seas for like 5 mins before it lets me in. My husband’s having the same problem so I’m thinking it’s on their end, whether it’s SoT or Xbox Live or who knows what.

  • BotMaandris BOT Maandris (@BotMaandris) reported

    @destmorr @Thor_von_Blitz @SeaOfThieves If the rear defense ends up being that big an issue, it'll be on a nice weak rowboat so just get rid of it from their blind spot, or board and detach it The truth of the matter is it'll likely lead to some SICK plays

  • SquareMeylix SquareMeylix (@SquareMeylix) reported

    @Huntarri @SeaOfThieves heheh because it took me SO LONG to line it all up! The eyes on the throne to match the eyes on ME to get the sit to time right with a crash of lightning... it took me WAY too long #oops

  • GGladi8or Game Gladi8or (@GGladi8or) reported

    @SeaOfThieves tech support issue: watching The Gauntlet tonight, drop claim button not popping on Twitch mobile app at relevent milestones. Refreshing did not fix it

  • B00GYGH0ST boogy (@B00GYGH0ST) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves it’s funny how this is a reoccurring issue that’s been in the game for years. they do the same “compensation” bullshit every time even though nobody cares about 50k gold to make up for a much higher quantity lost. fix the damn bug that’s been in the game for this long.

  • aidenJbateman Aiden (@aidenJbateman) reported

    @SeaOfThieves nah not really, fix your game and I might be excited

  • HuntyouDown21 BritishBobby (@HuntyouDown21) reported

    @SeaOfThieves When I was sailing to sanctuary outpost earlier I saw the water turn black with tenticles and the kraken appeared when I had at least a good 3k worth of stuff not that bad but I lost it and I was paralyzed in the game is that a glitch?

  • noob76052507 oxynatOr (@noob76052507) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Elyanech what is hear is : morrow's peak launch can u hotfix that Game breaking glitch? its known to you since a while....

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Just to remind you @seaofthieves that you don't support PVP in your game, I can imagine it's a touchy subject as your un aware of how to fix it but with that said you did neglect/ forget about Arena before you ever even got it working lol.

  • Nattadash ~Natta~ (@Nattadash) reported

    @SeaOfThieves are the Megaladon and Kraken spawns broken? Normally in a 4 hour sail we will encounter at least 1 of each or 3 Meg's... This event is going to be hard if we can't find them to kill! ♡

  • Daskius Daskius (@Daskius) reported

    @KCBeTaken @SeaOfThieves Sounds like the issue isn't the imbalance. It sounds like the issue is lack of competency. Which is not the fault of devs and shouldn't be the basis for punishing "competent" players.

  • ImHavik ImHavik (@ImHavik) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Going on 1 month now that I can’t play Sea of Thieves due to a series x crash bug. Talked to Xbox support and he said it’s the game not my console. I’d love some help please, can’t get in contact with you guys so I’m tweeting. Thanks!

  • MooreonAbsolute Druh (@MooreonAbsolute) reported

    @IamPapaLeon @OwletinSoT @SeaOfThieves Only problem is at first glance they'd look a little too close to ******** so it could cause a few double takes

  • B00GYGH0ST boogy (@B00GYGH0ST) reported
