  • Agent_Trick Patrick (@Agent_Trick) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Next can you fix the bug that resets ship cosmetics? I've lost count of how much gold I've spent saving them over and over. Thanks!

  • juntjuh René (@juntjuh) reported

    @duggyuk @SeaOfThieves Oh really? Explain to me how they fixed their server instability wich has been an issue since way before season 7 and only got worse now. So glad they fixed it. Or the inventory glitches. Or the blackscreens. You want me to keep going?

  • bennettspider chris bennett (@bennettspider) reported

    @jakethehawkeye @SeaOfThieves It's still not working for me either

  • retrogeekman Retro (@retrogeekman) reported

    @provafieroh @Nickgm89 @SeaOfThieves the easy fix is to really have 2s delay to shoot when you switch your gun, not 0.7s

  • 3CFire Fire (@3CFire) reported

    @SeaOfThieves So essential, you took down the game twice without fixing the issue.

  • Yoozurneighm Jacob Simon (@Yoozurneighm) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Workers at Rare had to spend their holiday weekend on this fix, so maybe some grace and solidarity isn't out of the question?

  • AxxeLote AxxeL (@AxxeLote) reported

    @smarioplayer200 @SeaOfThieves The game is constantly evolving. It is normal for errors to come and go. Stop rushing, developers deserve respect and rest.

  • duggyuk Jason Holland (@duggyuk) reported

    @juntjuh @SeaOfThieves Nope never encountered it, only bug I’ve encountered was my ship doing a random backflip. Which I hope they never fix that as that was entertaining as hell! That’s with every video game. I can name 50 games that still have day 1 bugs and been out for years.

  • CR4ZYxP0T4T0 Roger (@CR4ZYxP0T4T0) reported

    @jakethehawkeye @SeaOfThieves The previous maintenance fixed that issue i believe as i haven't got a problem with my saved cosmetics since.

  • _someori Circe (@_someori) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Will you ever fix the <HL> </HL> problem?

  • GreatTweetJohn Great Tweets By John (@GreatTweetJohn) reported

    @Almondschoice @SeaOfThieves They’ve said multiple times it’s a known issue and not to spend gold on it until they have a fix. So… stop spending gold on it until there’s a fix.

  • imperiumsky Imperium Sky ☄️ (@imperiumsky) reported

    @ECWFAN5 @GreatTweetJohn @SeaOfThieves Well except for the part where this literally was noted to be an issue in the LAST fix two days ago. And in the one before it. If it was new, sure. But they’ve said multiple times it was fixed 🫠

  • duggyuk Jason Holland (@duggyuk) reported

    @MileZero31 @juntjuh @SeaOfThieves I’ve also encountered where many of them freeze, and I’m still playing. Especially when it comes to over looting the shop and they either crash or stutter everywhere yet I’m moving alright.

  • Lutscher_XD Lutscher (@Lutscher_XD) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Another thing to fix, I was watching a streamer earlier and he had a notification that the "Captain left". He was the captain. He couldn't turn in his own loot.

  • MmmmmSammich Sammich mmmmm (@MmmmmSammich) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support How hard is it to give an hour warning to take servers down? This is why I do not invest in this game. I don't trust the Sea of Thieves team. Schedule maintenance and a warning before emergency fixes seems prudent to me.

  • Almondschoice Almondschoice (@Almondschoice) reported

    @SeaOfThieves it would be nice if you can fix the sails for captain ships too, so they stay saved when i sped gold to save them. it happend 3 times that they diddnt save... thanks. <3 ps love the game

  • Subsonic_tv Subsonic (@Subsonic_tv) reported

    @SeaOfThieves any plans to fix the bugged path on the Spanish forts where you get stuck on thin air and harpoons don't work properly?

  • resistlucifer Peter Edwardson 🏳️🏴 (@resistlucifer) reported

    @DylanVersen @SeaOfThieves Yep, that's the problem with doing dodgy stuff, you're always expecting karma to hit.

  • DouglasParkins8 Douglas. (@DouglasParkins8) reported

    @TheGamerDE6 @SeaOfThieves think is tho fixing things requires A)knowing what things are broken B)having people in work who can fix things (fixes only in work hours) C) spending time fixing them. D)not having to divert the team to working on dealing with people with zero knowledge complaining on twitter.

  • Flytoy Christopher Olson (@Flytoy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I am reading all these problems others are having yet I don't have any of those problems. SOT runs really well for me. I have had a couple of times it wont load and had to uninstall/reinstall. Awesome game.

  • resistlucifer Peter Edwardson 🏳️🏴 (@resistlucifer) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Servers down, arghhhhh

  • Logan90404358 ReaperBoi (@Logan90404358) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please fix faster I will give you my account

  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @vicer96 @SeaOfThieves Novel idea here, stop paying to save cosmetics until the team let you know it's fixed? It's been made clear that they already know about it and are working on a fix. If you keep spending gold on a well documented known issue expecting it to just magically work, that's on you.

  • juntjuh René (@juntjuh) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are you guys ffing hitting me?? Is this an everyday occurence now? I'm about to just quit the game. You are showing why the numbers of people playing are dropping for you. Bugs are there for 6 months and yet everyday you drop a fix but fixing nothing

  • vicer96 Victor (@vicer96) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You also need to fix so the boat cosmetics saves we have had to pay for that over and over and over again I'm up on 50k now

  • Nickgm89 n (@Nickgm89) reported

    @retrogeekman @SeaOfThieves It's a very lame part of the game. Also, it's absolutely an EXPLOIT that Rare won't fix

  • Vortexsh3dding Mike vdw (@Vortexsh3dding) reported

    @retrogeekman @SeaOfThieves What's broken about it?

  • N3e1xx Flraith (@N3e1xx) reported

    @retrogeekman @Vortexsh3dding @SeaOfThieves Well you just need to kill the other guy first... Or don't let him shot you by standing still and go to cover there are a lot of ways to "counter" double gunning, One of which is not letting them board your ship (if that's your issue with this).

  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @vicer96 @SeaOfThieves You're on twitter complaining about it on a SoT post.. if you do just a little more looking you will find it's been posted about already and it was on the known issues on the patch notes too, I guess you don't read those either?

  • BNX_DEMON Keygen (@BNX_DEMON) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How long do theses usually fix
