    Had a good run in @SeaOfThieves on a lost shipment voyage. Decided to finally run my buddies legendary holiday guilded voyage. 15 minutes in we get dumped with an almondbeard error, with an option to rejoin. It's been marblebeard ever since. Looks like the voyage is gone.

    @TheNelsonMike @SeaOfThieves Oh. Sorry about the ship. Want a cleaning service

  • ThePhotonTurtle PhotonTurtle 🐢 (@ThePhotonTurtle) reported

    @SeaOfThieves It's not very common problem, but one encounter with teleporting ships ruins an evening.

  • MrHawkTalk MrHawk (@MrHawkTalk) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Well you guys just ignored the fact the game was broken when the update dropped. Played for 3 hours with friends and we didnt get any gold or rewards. Better be coming next time we play.

  • dannie_yelly87 Not Me (@dannie_yelly87) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please make an offline version. We live with family that wont let us help pay the internet bill to cover our costs and were not allowed to have our service here but they have internet and tv. My son loves your game. After speaking up about abuse in our house we arent able

  • GeorgeAllard6 FormuIa 1 (@GeorgeAllard6) reported

    @SeaOfThieves periods, the keybiard works just fine with the xbix, sea of thieves is the problem. I honestly wouldn't be mad if you jist focussed on fixing the game rather than adding a season 2 in 3 months time

  • CalumMunro12 Calum Munro (@CalumMunro12) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please fix hit reg

  • ashyra_ ashyra-PP- (@ashyra_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix Flameheart or riot. It’s been three days since I reported it.

  • HoboWitAchoppA L.A.C (@HoboWitAchoppA) reported

    @Cedric_T_Great @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves It was a glitch, and hour later everything started popping up and from what I remember I'm pretty sure it did

  • RecklezRedBeard Tyler Garner (@RecklezRedBeard) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can't believe you got in 21+ hrs straight and no server issues

  • Red465X XxRedBeardxX465 (@Red465X) reported

    @ChappersChapman @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves DUDE FIX YOUR GAME the loading times are so Fu**ing fast I cant read the things on the Fu**ing loading screens!

  • GriffinMassuer Griff Mass (@GriffinMassuer) reported

    @CaptC0KE @SeaOfThieves I’m having a problem a lot where the key just doesn’t spawn in

  • PNWRIOTGIRL Christina Lynne Sherrin (@PNWRIOTGIRL) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Think you guys could get a passive mode? Waaaay too much toxicity from other players. Also, if you block those people on Xbox live, they'll still show up on the same server. Please fix this.

  • Ramiroquai91 João Ramiro 🇵🇹 (@Ramiroquai91) reported

    @SeaOfThieves To be the most spawn-killed. Time to fix this, no?

  • Wayuls1 Wayuls (@Wayuls1) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Had a number of problems with the season one challenges not syncing, now my renown for all factions isn’t registering and the thing I’m most aggrieved with is the rare fish I’ve caught not being counted towards my overall. Treasure comes & goes but it takes ages to get those fish

  • ree70713640 ree (@ree70713640) reported

    @GeorgeAllard6 @SeaOfThieves @SeaDogOrca Your Xbox may just be having problems

  • WhispitheWisp Whispi the Wisp ❄️ (@WhispitheWisp) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with not being able to dive in #SeaOfThieves? 🤔

  • Warrior47977719 Warrior (@Warrior47977719) reported

    @SeaOfThieves for looking like a banana (i have a torso longer then anything else its so broken doing the siting emote makes my pirate have his hands hover above his legs)
