    @SeaOfThieves Funny? Yea. Fixable? Absolutely. Do you care to actually fix your game instead of just retweeting bugs and laughing them off? Nope.

  • JulianFuchs15 Dichter Nocht (@JulianFuchs15) reported

    @Demon6880 @SeaOfThieves How you wanna fix it?

  • DesaiaZ ❤ Desaia desu ❤ (@DesaiaZ) reported

    @KingMarlexia @SeaOfThieves We had the same problem. We had NOONE in this time of the event, who sailed with us together :( this was really really sad. Therefore we couldn't get the stuff from the event. So freakin sad :(

  • IllBushido305 Bushido (@IllBushido305) reported

    @Demon6880 @SeaOfThieves I’m not referring to why but instead how who you fix and balance this.

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support any known issues with Rep and XP? I didn't gain any XP for a merchant mission.

  • Movat3 Movat (@Movat3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the matchmaking in the arena

  • AW0L_ AWOL_ (@AW0L_) reported

    2 of the new Tall Tales Completed on #SeaOfThieves, found bugs on the 2nd one and I was redoing one of the older ones only to find bugs also. Why are devs these days just making broken games and patches? Where is the professionalism in their creations?

  • requester47 Requester 47 (@requester47) reported

    @iamtygrah @SeaOfThieves I play on xbox only servers now. I found my servers or alliance only servers. Don't have that much of a issue now. Had a really good xbox only session that we all became alliance and made so much money it was amazing!

  • TheFullNelson TheFullNelson (@TheFullNelson) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Odd problem here, I didn’t see an update available as of 5:30PM EST yesterday, despite refreshing the Windows Store and resetting it as well. I checked the build version I have installed and it is still the previous build, but somehow I’m still able to play. Any ideas?

  • HxC_FallenDream BPH Wussie (@HxC_FallenDream) reported

    @xboxinsider How many times does an issue have to be reported before the team addresses it or even looks into it? I would love to enjoy sea of thieves but you current builds for Skip Ahead and Alpha make the game drop me every 2 hours. #SeaOfThieves

    @photekplays @SeaOfThieves This is a topic that comes up in our discord from time to time. The issue of 'time-limited' events and cosmetics. Do you feel cheated out of them cause you don't have the time to play to acquire them?

  • Nehalem439 DailyVersace (@Nehalem439) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Hi! Are the Servers lagging right now?

  • wheatalt1 wheatalt (@wheatalt1) reported

    @Captain_Bones31 @NoahKel06918695 @SeaOfThieves Hey can i ask you something mr double gun? If the sword is broken, wouldnt a new melee weapon fix it by making less people use the sword?

  • SLizard2011 SinisterLizard2011 (@SLizard2011) reported

  • DankAnimeTrash AudrieGarrett (@DankAnimeTrash) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else glitching off all ships and rowboats? My friend and I are stranded and everytime we try to get on our ship or rowboat it throws us off or we glitch through the bottom

  • Wadaya_Meane Wadaya Meane (@Wadaya_Meane) reported

    Anyone else experiencing very long load times to get onto servers and a high ping once you're on the server in Sea of Thieves? I play on EU but NA friends have the same issue atm... #SeaOfThieves

  • VaderMonkeyGam1 VaderMonkey Gaming (@VaderMonkeyGam1) reported

    Good afternoon. I'm apologising for not streaming yesterday. I was supposed to be sim racing with Scottish Ian and the gang, but due to a hip issue, I was unable to take part. Normal service will resume this Thursday for another #SeaOfThieves Thursday.

  • Krogbear30 Krogbear (@Krogbear30) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I love how you did a hot fix yet our rowboats still plunge us to the bottom of the ocean and become unridable like 1/3 of the time. I guess you don’t want us to use row boats

  • ShockedDavishon David² (@ShockedDavishon) reported

    @waka1105555 @SeaOfThieves Yup That's sea of thieves for you. I remember losing like 8 hours of loot for connection issues

  • TrickyTrey02 ♦️Trey Perfected♦️ (@TrickyTrey02) reported

    @Demon6880 @SeaOfThieves Why do people always reply to the PR twitter teams with problems? I'm almost certain that they have an official help twitter account plus forums. Saying something to the marketing team almost certainly won't do anything for you.

  • Captain_Bones31 Captain Bones (@Captain_Bones31) reported

    @wheatalt1 @NoahKel06918695 @SeaOfThieves I’m not Mr Double gun, Mr no profile pic, I switch between weapons but currently I double gun. It problems would if it uses another working system but that wouldn’t fix the origin problem of the sword. so yes but no.

  • LeeeTenacious TenaciousLeee (@LeeeTenacious) reported

    @m90Tom @1Chenzo @SeaOfThieves It's not the pants that are the issue....
