    @Lukathy95 @FOXD11E @SeaOfThieves hit reg is a latency issue, the more added to the server offloading it seems hit reg tick rates of the server wont improve, at the moment its sad to say but sot has one of the worst hit reg problems then any other game, and its not a hard game

  • CWB261992 CW (@CWB261992) reported

    @LumaTr1x @SeaOfThieves Never. It's so complex that I doubt we'll ever see a fix

  • ReallyBlazedFox Austringer (@ReallyBlazedFox) reported

    @abadwal1 @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport Why are you asking the Sea of Thieves devs to fix a game made by another dev entirely?

  • Danny90427539 Danny (@Danny90427539) reported

    @Xbox @SeaOfThieves Your servers are down fix them

  • Azunight309 MentalJeff (@Azunight309) reported

    @Antonuwa1 @Xbox @SeaOfThieves The servers are currently having issues checking ownership of games for some people apparently. I'm having the same issue.

  • Demon5379 Demon (@Demon5379) reported

    @SeaOfThieves the hell up with this lag since update? Yeesssh

  • MadDoctorZero AzaLily (@MadDoctorZero) reported

    Dammit, I know how Pendragon's story ends, but that doesn't mean I haven't been gripped by the tale nonetheless! I can't wait for issue three to come out! @SeaOfThieves #SoTOrigins

  • jaredgoddeeeenn ThatNZguy (@jaredgoddeeeenn) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Did this fix hit reg? Because we all know this is still a huge issue. And we also know that nothing has been done to try and improve it. It's getting worse. 4 sniper shots to kill someone not eating? Chainshots just phasing through masts? And yet you say otherwise each update?

  • Shanick92 Shanick (@Shanick92) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @ChappersChapman So in the new Pendragon Issue he gets something from an Island. That Island looks like Sailors Bounty. Is it maybe that he got it from that destroyed tunnel?

  • Ladder_of_Glass Dreamer (@Ladder_of_Glass) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport I keep wanting to give this another go, but never really seeing any significant, interesting gameplay updates. Mightve missed something for season 2 but cosmetics arent the issue

    @SeaOfThieves This is your 48 hour warning guys that @SeaOfThieves servers will be down for maintenance as with this update we've just recieved and all the ones previous there's numerous bugs and server stability issues. Don't complain as this is a regular thing with all updates. POG

    @MckeownMalcolm @Xbox @SeaOfThieves Shut up is it not obvious that there are issues

  • DeerHopper Deer (@DeerHopper) reported

    @SeaOfThieves, I been havin more problems even after I’ve verified the integrity of the game files on steam.

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hi @SeaOfThieves and @RareLtd I'm just wondering what you guys plan to re-skin next as you never actually make the effort to create new models unless it goes in the emporium. Also when will you actually fix all game breaking bugs that you've ignored now? It's beyond a joke.

  • JerseyDee22 Damon Heyer (@JerseyDee22) reported

    @Krasnooo @MaxTremblayTV @SeaOfThieves They can't fix it but can make it worse lol

  • Vinnyiow Vinnyiow (@Vinnyiow) reported

    @BushiO0 @SeaOfThieves Says the first issue of the Pendragon Miniseries.

  • jaredgoddeeeenn ThatNZguy (@jaredgoddeeeenn) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Just saying, as someone who loves the game, you're letting the community down. If it were a key priority, it would've been fixed a year or so ago, but instead, it's constantly getting worse, never better. Fix. Your. Hit. Reg. How can the NAL be a thing when half of it is RNG.

  • Russeeeeell_x Ronnie Russell (@Russeeeeell_x) reported

    @Xbox @SeaOfThieves Every time I go to load up a game it says that I need to sign in with the person who bought it even I’m signed it to it I’ve restarted the Xbox and turned it off and back on and it still says the same anyone know what to do?
