  • mansion999 HMansion999 (@mansion999) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Couldn't load ships. There was a problem loading your ship selection. Try again shortly

  • 1Chenzo Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    @xMLG_Drizzy @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Are you upset they removed these to fix that exploit? It sucks to not have them for the moment, but closing that hole is a good idea.

  • KosmoNate The Great Nate  (@KosmoNate) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Did the “glitch” that so many people are abusing get fixed? We went sailing looking for them and sunk 6 ships. The lag was unreal.

  • HonkTactful TactfulHonk (@HonkTactful) reported

    @JordanMeliani @designdeity2 @SeaOfThieves I wouldn't call people stupid for spending gold on a feature that's supposed to work. But yes, it's the flagship primary feature, right next to naming your ship, and really should have been fixed. I suspect it's a domino effect resulting from other server load problems though.

  • jessesmith1999 Jesse Smith (@jessesmith1999) reported

    @SeaOfThieves All these updates and still didn't fix the ship Loadout issues 💀,the main feature of season 7.

  • Miffeloff Silje (@Miffeloff) reported

    @KosmoNate @SeaOfThieves There was a glitch??

  • Atheist_chicken 🐓Chicken🐓 🏺 (@Atheist_chicken) reported

    @Soycha_Art @SeaOfThieves me, waiting for them to fix ship cosmetics

  • OohItsjojo Jojo (@OohItsjojo) reported

    @Wigi87 @SeaOfThieves They acknowledged it in this update so stop paying for it until they fix it.

  • Atheist_chicken 🐓Chicken🐓 🏺 (@Atheist_chicken) reported

    wait so did they actually fix anything? #seaofthieves

  • KDaCreator KevDaCreatoR (@KDaCreator) reported

    @KosmoNate @SeaOfThieves Fixed as in they disabled the veil sunken ship portion until they fix it. So they band-aid'ed it.

  • Jrams307 Buck Dancer (@Jrams307) reported

    @StormySeaDog @SeaOfThieves Only amazing if these fixes don't create a ton of other problems.

  • Gen_X74 Gen_X74 (@Gen_X74) reported

    @MakakarTTV @SeaOfThieves Actually just noticed that myself yesterday, and there was a link in it which seemed to be broken. I thought it was spam for a few seconds.....

  • CaptainBroly1 CaptnBroly (@CaptainBroly1) reported

    @leonie_stk @svschoenberg @SeaOfThieves Naah sadly not looks like it is a very big/complex issue. It's still in "known issues"

  • xtwiztidjayx X TwiZtiD Jay X (@xtwiztidjayx) reported

    @christiandak09 @SeaOfThieves This is a known issue. It is advised not to spend gold on saving cosmetics untill the issue has been resolved.

  • Khyron42P Khyron42 Prime (@Khyron42P) reported

    @StormySeaDog @SeaOfThieves Lol they had one fix they needed to make and they piddled around with a pile of low-priority crap instead. I swear you guys are the definition of toxic positivity.

  • dakwar_gamer christian dakwar (@dakwar_gamer) reported

    @SeaOfThieves For some reason everything on my ship gets saved except the wheel,please fix it

  • xMLG_Drizzy Dave+ (@xMLG_Drizzy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd They can’t even fix their own damn game but they will instantly fix something that excites and gives their players reason to play…put the Ship Graveyards back on the Voyages

  • mansion999 HMansion999 (@mansion999) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Couldn't load ships. There was a problem loading your ship selection. Try again shortly

  • RTfan117 Jacob Abel (@RTfan117) reported

    @ShipwrightBona @SeaOfThieves Glad it was taken out while they look for a fix, even if it was cool to see temporarily. Hopefully they can code the loot to despawn when the quest/ships do?

  • BrokenVixen_ T || BrokenVixen (@BrokenVixen_) reported

    Is anyone else having issues on @SeaOfThieves not being able to have a captained ship???? @RareLtd @SoTCommunity

  • leonie_stk Léonie Stk (@leonie_stk) reported

    @svschoenberg @SeaOfThieves They know that issue. But I don't know if they've found a solution at this moment

  • Kek_Torres Kek (@Kek_Torres) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support A player called "xx????"" just killed me and my tripulation just in one shot, having full health!... Also, the players kept killing us, just respawning... becausecause your way of respawn is crealy broken.... This is clearly a cheat. (2/6)

  • xMLG_Drizzy Dave+ (@xMLG_Drizzy) reported

    @1Chenzo @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd If they are gonna do this then they need to increase the loot for Forts and World Events by at least 3x. Nobody does them anymore really. No point. ****** loot. Players were enjoying the graveyards to get massive loot. Meanwhile they don’t fix the game itself

  • Andros_le_wuff Felix Kieselbach (@Andros_le_wuff) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Did this update fix the bug that caused the game to 'forget' the saved decorations on your captained ship ? Not gonna waste my precious gold time and time again on this

  • Molly_Summers02 Mollyrose (@Molly_Summers02) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’ve brought a ship and done everything for it but it hasn’t given my ship its name, how do I fix this?

  • bryson94213352 bryson (@bryson94213352) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Nobody cares about the mission fix the harpoon 😭

  • xMLG_Drizzy Dave+ (@xMLG_Drizzy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd This proves you do not care about your fans. You do nothing to make the game fun. No solo servers. Forts broken with glitching skeletons. Supplies are broken most the time. Loot amount sucks ***

  • Pharaoh_tv Paul - Twitch UrbanPharaoh (@Pharaoh_tv) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey guys, Can we get the glitch fixed where the game doesn't load your ships? I am live now and it's super frustrating

  • Bureidoc Moghghh (@Bureidoc) reported

    @Smolskidoodles @SeaOfThieves Try closing the game entirely and open it up again That worked for me but it is still a issue

  • Smolskidoodles smawls (@Smolskidoodles) reported

    @Bureidoc @SeaOfThieves It's been all day today sadly, I opened and closed the game multiple times and it was just {ShipName} - The Feared. I don't think it's a rules issue either since the name was "The Sanguine Rose"
