    @Nathanonfire2 @SeaOfThieves It wouldn't fix the problem indefinitely but it would help a lot... with how often the game crashes you shouldn't have to worry about your name getting leaked on the main menu... Trying to do something is better then nothing.

    @SeaOfThieves Heads up, your Ashen Garrison rowboats are de-spawning, even while docked on the ship. I assume it happens when the Garrison resets and becomes active again, but it’s happened twice to me now and I’m seeing other people having the same issue. #SeaOfThieves

    @poetniknowit @SeaOfThieves I know that it wont. Ive been sitting 42 kegs for a long time, even before smugglers. The problem is when you finish all the crates, but still need 50+ kegs. Getting a single keg has a chance of 4% per bottle. But hey Drew said theyre working on the fix now, lets hope its good.

    @SeaOfThieves You reset my doubloons. I am struggling to find out why you think that means I would want to return to the game? Can anybody on the dev team explain that to me? Why would I slog through your broken matchmaking system and buggy servers just to earn what I had, back?

    @MrJannusSoT @Mephisto_hub @SeaOfThieves I did this on purpose it's not edited. I wanted the guards to look like they are glitch and can move faster than time itself. Everything was done in game.

    @Common_Potatos @SeaOfThieves That's why they started it early this time. It's gonna take longer cuz there's less interest. Should honestly just lower the requirements, but I guess this is one way to fix it.

    Please I beg you, PLEASE FIX this Cannon De-Synch happening right now. Cannons are completely out of Control especially in Hourglass when both Masts are down. 50/50 that your cannons actually land where you shoot them. @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support #SeaOfThieves

    @SeaOfThieves At this point in the life cycle I’m not even sure how to improve the game. It seems as though it’s been going in a circle while still issues from day 1 run rampant. Always loved the game but since 21 it’s just been downhill, it’s genuinely sad to see.

    The sea has a way of turning simple plans into long nights. It started plain enough. Just the two of us on a sloop, sails trimmed and pockets empty, heading out with the simple thought of running a few garrisons and seeing what fortune the night might offer. The water was calm, the sort of calm that usually means trouble is waiting somewhere ahead. The first garrison came into view through the haze of the horizon, but we weren’t the first to arrive. A galleon sat there already four pirates busy with the fort. I shot over from the sloop, landing quiet at the top to scout things out. Word was these forts sometimes hid a smuggler’s black powder keg. A nasty piece of work if used right. I searched around the island but couldn’t find it… until I looked up. There it was. Those poor fools had hauled the keg all the way up into their crow’s nest like a trophy. Probably thought it was safe there. I started taking shots from the island, trying to knock it loose, but the angle was wrong. Cannon ***** smacked wood and rope, but the keg wouldn’t go. My crewmate decided to do things the hard way. He fired himself out of the cannon toward their ship. Halfway through the air still sailing through the sky like a ragged comet he shot the harpoon. Somehow he caught the keg straight from the crow’s nest and dragged it down with him as he slammed onto their deck. A second later the whole galleon erupted. The blast threw splinters and pirates alike across the deck. By the time the smoke cleared he’d cut down all four of them in the chaos. Their ship sank fast, slipping beneath the water like it had never belonged there. We finished the fort without much trouble after that. Rather than move on, we sailed a short distance off to let the garrison reset so we could run it again. While we waited, sails appeared on the horizon. Same galleon. They came back hungry. We tried the keg trick again, but this time fate wasn’t interested. The powder slipped into the water and vanished before it could do any good. After that it turned into a long, stubborn fight. For nearly an hour we traded blows. Sometimes we had them dead in the water masts down, deck full of holes. Then somehow they’d recover, patch up, and swing the fight back the other way. Cannon fire cracked across the waves. Boards, repairs, missed shots, lucky shots. Over and over. Neither side would leave. Eventually I went for a board while they were busy trading cannon fire with my crewmate. I climbed their ladder unnoticed and dropped onto the deck. Steel did the rest. Four pirates fell in quick succession to the sword. By the time they realized what had happened, my crewmate had them locked in a death circle with the cannons tearing their ship apart. After that I only saw one of them return from the Ferry of the Damned. The rest never came back. I reckon they’d had enough of the night. The galleon sank for the second time. We sailed back to the garrison hoping to finish what we started… only to find the whole place glitched to the depths. No completion. No treasure. Our first stack lost to whatever strange curse the sea had placed on the fort. So we did what pirates do when fortune turns strange. We sailed for Morrow’s Peak Outpost and sold the Reaper flags we’d taken from the galleon. A small victory, but better than empty hands. While we were there, we spotted a brigantine messing around at the northern garrison. Curiosity got the better of us. We sailed over to see what they were about. The moment they realized we were coming, panic set in. They cut and ran, diving beneath the waves to escape after a short skirmish. But in their hurry they left something behind. A pile of treasure bigger than anything we’d earned all night, a MEGA stash! We hauled it aboard piece by piece under the dim lantern light, the sea quiet again at last. Not a bad way to end a long fight. #BeMorePirate #SeaOfThieves

    @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves worst part is you are getting hated by the community as soon as you mention issues about what rare is doing, you have no right to be a more competent person at spotting evident gameplay design problems than them. now we are stuck with rare listening to the wrong people

    @SeaOfThieves Disconnect from your actual player base as usual. Stop listening to streamers and players who spend their lives on the game. I barely had 8,000 doubloons before spending them all a month before the announcement of the reset.

    @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves I wish one day they could give me an opportunity to give my feedback on the game. I know what are the most important issue (some of tweaks , some nerfs and maybe some rework) U know me well,Truth can hurt & i don't get the dev vision but my veteran feedback can be helpfull

    ShamanMcLamie (@ShamanMcLamie) reported

    @SeaOfThieves My biggest problem with stuff like this is that it is after the fact. I get if something is limited time to get, but if there is no heads up that there would be any reward. People who would grind these things out wouldn't do it.

    @Giovann69642526 @SeaOfThieves I know. I played last ship standing for 3 years. Which is why I say what I did about it not working. It creates a "survival mentality" rather than engaging in combat. Even worse as sloop.
