Vivo (@Vivoronte) reported@SeaOfThieves I also spied my eye on a little Peanut getting server DDOS'd with his friends and roughly 70k viewers..... Going to acknowledge the issue at hand? no? hmm ok... I used to Love and breath this game. It's truly sad and seems so far gone.

DUBB3D (@__DUBB3D__) reportedThe recent decisions from the Sea of Thieves team has been unacceptable and quite frankly out of line. The more recent issues being Season 19, and the Blackwyche set releasing in the Emporium are the final straws on the camels back for a lot of players, myself included. More specifically, the way both of these situations have been handled is nothing short of disgraceful. I'm not talking about the team scrapping content from Season 19, but rather trying to keep the 3-Act structure, when we were just told by Drew that that formula does not work, yet it's still getting implemented. "Transparency" as a whole is something we have heard from the team almost every video it seems. However, it has become corporate speak rather than details of current problems (and what they're doing to fix it) as well as discussion of the large-scale full roadmap for the future plans of the game. This is highly alarming. We are far beyond the point of needing to be surprised for anything. PLEASE just tell us what you are going to do for the game and what is going on. We need full honesty and openness about what the team is doing to show that our valuable time is not being wasted like it currently is, and for overall improvement of game health. Of course the next community direct could be the start of seeing some future plans, but again, this needed to happen sooner (years ago) and it's honestly too late regardless of what happens now. We see Rare is underwater and profits are decreasing at an alarming rate. We see the team scrambling to push out any amount of half-baked content. The overall quality bar has been set so drastically low it is embarrassing. None of it has proper creative and intuitive lead like it used to and it leaves us with less and less for every update. The game does not feel as full or exciting as it used to, despite there being so much. Another huge problem, especially right now, are the community managers and moderators. So many of these people in the past have bullied, belittled, blocked, and flat out banned players for voicing their opinions. There needs to be a drastic change in this team in regards to how it is structured and how they are allowed to use their authority and operate. I am not wishing for anyone to get fired, but rather repositioned to a different role, because managing a community and handling feedback is obviously not in their skill set. Some people in particular are J0toro and Shirah, who have been the worst when it comes to this. It feels like they have no boss watching or directing what they do and it has been like this for years. They are on a super loose leash and it feels like they are completely separate from the rest of the leadership team. They speak and act on what they feel and what they want and it is super bad. These people SHOULD NOT be the public representation of Rare, specifically Sea of Thieves at all. There is also a MASSIVE disconnect between how Rare views Sea of Thieves, and how the players view Sea of Thieves. Yes, it is Rare's game and Microsoft's IP, but our wants and needs as the players who actually spend time in the game needs to be paramount in decision making in the future. In short, what I am trying to say, is that Rare and specifically the directors of Sea of Thieves need to either get this game back on course before it is too late, or announce that they are working on Sea of Thieves 2. People only speak up because they care. If nobody spoke up in the face of problems, then it would be even worse than it is now. The fact that still so many people voice their opinions is a good thing, so please stop censoring us or just flat out ignoring us. #SeaOfThieves

Captain Long Face (@OpochLongFace) reported@SeaOfThieves @Twitch Your reputation sunk after 10 devs couldn't help BurntPeanut with the DDOS situation
-
Wahzy (@Wahzy86) reported@SeaOfThieves Unplayable due to the constant lag spikes every 30 seconds or so. I heard it’s because of the fireworks at the outposts?
-
Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported@WazzaC92 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Was it bad this glitch happend in the first place? Yes. But no one was stopping you from doing said voyages anyways. As they stated, those coins would've been added to your wallet.
-
Sonny (@Sonny_exee) reportedThe @SeaOfThieves doubloon fix is a mess. Players not reset were stuck at the 4k cap, unable to farm. Now you’re removing their items? At the next event, they’ll have to grind double: for the old items AND the new ones. Stop punishing us for your bugs! #SeaOfThieves
-
Tonic Taz (@TonicTaz) reported@SeaOfThieves Can you fix the flag one already? When i hit start now it just takes me back to main screen on PC and mobile.
-
DictatorZNorth (@z_dictator) reportedSome didn't like #SeaOfThieves by @theburntpeanut Which of the three options would have been better? 1) Cheaters crash server 2) 8 hours of boring empty sea sailing + one battle against AFK solo-loop 3) HG where they'll be sunk so quickly they won't even know what happened
-
Will Dozer 🌐 (@potatosordfight) reported@Giovann69642526 @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves to afford just the curse, nevermind a single other thing in BOTH of the black markets, and you have to remember that this is only the first black market drop. They intend to add more to it consistently, which will only make this issue worse.
-
Juke (@JukstJuke) reported@RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Same. I quit sot when they removed quickswap and made all combat clunky as a result of the fix, i will not come back to sot but i still follow the game, i played sot since 2018 until season 10 religiously, all my friends quit around that time too.
-
PIZZA (@PIZZA8D) reported@erick1656732 @SeaOfThieves @theburntpeanut why did it age well? he had the same problem again, if im not mistaken
-
Bryan Knapp (@Knapper18) reported@SeaOfThieves Lone Cove in the cave by the broken rowie
-
Artist of Thieves (@ArtistofThieves) reported@shenanigoon @SeaOfThieves People crashing out because of cosmetics, are just as cringe, as people that want them to be angry for no reason. Why do you want to cause an outrage, from people that did nothing wrong? You have issues man. Get a grip!
-
𐌃𝖴𐌁 (@GoodfellaDub_) reportedLooking at these reviews for @SeaOfThieves on Xbox and A LOT of them want the same thing. A PVE mode where you can play with friends. I don’t understand why this is a bad thing. Remove safer seas. Make that an “Invite only” server and allow up to 6 boats. Problem solved.
-
East (@CptEasty) reportedHey @SeaOfThieves , i would like to know what you can do about our hourglass glitch, im playing with my son and friends, about to get him his first 4 streak in HG when we spawn into a match about 100m in the sky with our boat flying a mile away from us, unable to move streak lost
-
DK2️⃣ (@DayKahDos) reported@SeaOfThieves One of the major issues with this event is the lack of frequency combined with the inability to earn doubloons almost at all now in between these weekends. The cap of 3 voyage completions before it gives gold is lame as well. Also server performance was TERRIBLE (fireworks?)
-
🎀Hypernep🎀 (@HypershooterA10) reported@rogwala1 @TheTankBall @SeaOfThieves so what is the problem i dont even share nsfw in here and dont care because is legal
-
Googs (@myweeweetinybro) reported@AlmtyChcknPoo @SeaOfThieves To be fair some of us kinda blow ***. I care more about numerous sot community moderators blocking me for talking about quality control issues within the game instead of glazing ******** out of it like a fat kid preparing a toaster strudel for himself.
-
Kenny Cain (@KennyCain13384) reported@SeaOfThieves fix the hourglass exploit already people casually getting 100,200+ streaks in a short time and getting gold curses in less than a day. Pointless making a game mode dedicated to grinding if you stay quiet about people exploiting the system to make the grind non existent.
-
Fledder (@CalebFerraro) reported@betta_rdr2 @SeaOfThieves What in the broken physic slop is this?
-
JayBlu (@JayBlu45) reported@PCMonkfish @SeaOfThieves It reallt isnt. Especially since you can open up one of the vaults to get another ashen key 3 on the garrisons aint an issue. But apparently the "Devs" think otherwise
-
Isak (@kukizen1) reported@SeaOfThieves fix your game fellas servers are dying
-
ryan leach (@ryantheleach) reported@Game7DS @SeaOfThieves The video compression turns to absolute ****, and makes it look a LOT like AI generated video. But if this happened, it's more then likely a new loot teleport glitch, and you likely had a cheater in recently played under the report menu.
-
MEMPAVRAI (@mempavrai) reported@SeaOfThieves Fix the harpoon bug on hourglass i beg of you. You cannot do anything of harpooned off a cannon in hg
-
DK2️⃣ (@DayKahDos) reported@Joe651750613863 @SeaOfThieves It's not even something is the issue. They're so unwilling to come up with new content that they just put already existing emporium cosmetics as drops. It's so lazy that I'd honestly rather no drops at all 😭 gold, renown, and the voyage of "luck" are useless fillers as well
-
Justin (@TheGoonJS) reported@MOB_xGAMERx @SeaOfThieves The code of conduct that’s on the wall of the tavern says “keep battles on the seas” or something along those lines and instead of taking it to mean “don’t bring problems out of the game” and instead take it literally to mean “you can only battle people on the open water”
-
𐌃𝖴𐌁 (@GoodfellaDub_) reported.@SeaOfThieves are you all gonna respond to how to fix this issue? This single dude playing your game could help it and he can’t play because of this. @RareLtd
