  • Movat3 Movat (@Movat3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves seriously the PvP match making is broken I sat for a hour waiting on a game when my Mrs told me I was falling asleep. Sea of thieves has some of the most toxic lobbies

  • Uchi_Xinju Uchi Xinju (@Uchi_Xinju) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Used to love playing this game, decided to get back into it. I am locked out by the Lavenderbeard error, and I've tried reinstalling multiple times. I've tried every supposed trick online and I'm still locked out of the game.

  • Phantom65986947 Phantom (@Phantom65986947) reported

    @MrDekra @taternuggets @SeaOfThieves Unlucky you I guess, I had a problem with it not generating properly but that’s because other crews were there I just quit the tall tale and reloaded the tale checkpoint, had all the commendations done over 5 days (1 hour per day) don’t let the tiny things get you down I guess

  • MrDekra Andy (@MrDekra) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Should I share the uninstall screen since it's badly broken and unplayable??

  • Jemusurobato James Lawrence (@Jemusurobato) reported

    @ixdannyx @SeaOfThieves Anything to drown it out, I suppose. More players will make it look like it's not an issue. Well, it certainly grew. That's for sure.

  • TheRealBillyLee TheBillyLee (@TheRealBillyLee) reported

    @LaurenGallaway @SeaOfThieves I was chillin playing with my fiance(very casual gamer) and this trio starts attacking us close to the outpost. They kill us and then start spawn killing us. Then they finally take our loot and crash our ship. I would've accepted it but the spawn killing wasn't necessary.

  • IgobyDanny Danny💬 (@IgobyDanny) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You guys are mistaken. The Hazelnut Beard error isn't for SOT insider. It's an error that occurs when playing the SOT (not insider). Xbox Insider's that are in Alpha Skip Ahead are receiving this error. Nothing I'm saying has anything to do with SOT Insider.

  • IgobyDanny Danny💬 (@IgobyDanny) reported

    @NoahDerPirat @SeaOfThieves LoL there isn't any sensitive information in my tweet. I've been in the Xbox Insider program for a very long time. I know what I can and cannot talk about. Hoping there's a fix for the Hazelnut Beard error is not sensitive information.

  • Zalah81997228 Zalah (@Zalah81997228) reported

    Thanks @SeaOfThieves for programming such garbage volcanoes into your PIRATE rpg game. Next time you decide to big fix maybe actually do work with your volcano eruption rate and not have it start up twice in a row, especially after finishing a skull fort. Thanks for that.

  • ESCViking _______ (@ESCViking) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the chest in the 2nd tall tale

  • aBoonBag Boon (@aBoonBag) reported

    @sstaccwil @SeaOfThieves Had to fight off a brig and two sloops while doing a fort while offering an alliance. People just want to crash and burn rather than do the event, it seems. 🙃

  • madwifuu madwifuu (@madwifuu) reported

    @RinkaTTV @SeaOfThieves It's said you could pick up the chicken at the end. I don't see the problem here 🤭

  • Sltc_Hippo pipite (@Sltc_Hippo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves still buggy flables, crash at the very end so fable not validated

  • PRS_Cajun #Cajun (@PRS_Cajun) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Tall Tale 2 story and audio 10/10; execution of tall tale 1/10 (broken, glitchy, and just basically killing players over and over trying to find your way around.

  • ixdannyx danny🎮 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (@ixdannyx) reported

    @Jemusurobato @SeaOfThieves It has, it was a problem in alpha/early stages but not as much cause people were still learning the game and there were fewer players, the problem has been exacerbated by gamepass etc

  • whybotherwithem cant.configure.username.name (@whybotherwithem) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I had to take a vreak due to a glitch in the first part when I went to pick up the keys from the dog for the cage. The dog fully disapeared so i had to restart the whole thing... I dont know if I will get back to the game after that.

  • Kingsnhl11 Ian Pay (@Kingsnhl11) reported

    @OffhandDisney Play the 3rd episode of @SeaOfThieves pirate life if you really want some Disneyland fan service.....

  • MrDekra Andy (@MrDekra) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so disappointed with the Jack sparrow update, my friend and I have had so many issues with it, from items glitching out to not being able to walk through barriers in the underwater level. Replayed the same level 4 times and had to just give up.

  • XdThunder56 Michael (@XdThunder56) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the Chest of sorrow disappearing

  • ESCViking _______ (@ESCViking) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the chest in the 2nd y’all take

  • lajlnv2 The pain I feel when I lightmode (@lajlnv2) reported

    @sillybunt5 @SeaOfThieves It's all broken but kinda worth pushing through except for the incredibly lackluster ending

  • Aitor_Arus Aitor (@Aitor_Arus) reported

    @allyhumphreys @SeaOfThieves Problem

  • BlackStaRonin BlackStaRonin (@BlackStaRonin) reported

    Hey @RareLtd and @SeaOfThieves you guys really need to Nerf the amount of phantoms and ocean crawlers that spawn mobs or limit the amount of pve enemies that spawn because trying to fight a horde of pve enimies all together like that is BROKEN. there's way too many please fix it

  • MrDekra Andy (@MrDekra) reported

    @taternuggets @Phantom65986947 @SeaOfThieves Yep I understand your point of view. I'm a big fan..paid retail for the game, not gamepass. However some recognition from the team about the game breaking issues instead of asking people to share nice pictures on twitter would be far better until they fix the mess

  • AndyLoneWolfDK Andy Lone Wolf 🐺 (@AndyLoneWolfDK) reported

    @SeaOfThieves are you aware that your PVP system is broken that it promotes greifing so why not make sure people have a flag raised that consents PVP

  • ixdannyx danny🎮 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (@ixdannyx) reported

    @Jemusurobato @SeaOfThieves Yeah but it's those people who need to belittle others to feel better about they're own self worth, rare could fix the issue very easily but they don't care, they're getting $$$

  • smarioplayer200 Joshua1995 (@smarioplayer200) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the stupid tall tales, tall tale 4 needs a resum tall tale in the beginning cause when you dc you can't go back
