  • jannus2011 MrJannusSot (@jannus2011) reported

    Dear @SeaOfThieves and @RareLtd. I just went against a cheater that was carrying a #BeMorePirate hat guy. We were on a 9 streak with many flags and were winning, but the quikswap and aimbot and everything is impossible to win against. Please talk to AntiCheat and fix this.

  • Baron_Feisten Feisten (@Baron_Feisten) reported

    @MagmaBoots @SeaOfThieves Hey, i don't get that, a lot of people used that Spot. I will not be the last Person who did a Shot there and that is 100% fine, the Idea was new so i don't See the Problem

  • SmashCan3 SavageSonOfa (@SmashCan3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves sea of lag..

  • TheApps_ Apps (@TheApps_) reported

    @ProjectJehuty @SeaOfThieves Yeah out of all the issues, runners are the problem? One can play the game how one wants. They have as much right to run as you to chase. Should’ve had a better tactic and caught them by surprise.

  • Xilent_Lotus Jessika 🪷 ジェシカ (@Xilent_Lotus) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix you ******* game with this Cyanbeard bull **** that's not even listed on your site as a Beard error! Always as I'm tapping my Athena every ******* time

  • shortysmalls302 Unaffiliated (@shortysmalls302) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Did we fix controller settings yet?

  • BetterBhvr BetterBHVR (@BetterBhvr) reported

    @SpovidTV @SeaOfThieves If they support it by fixing the game start/matchmaking issues, adding multiple game modes that can be voted on in the tavern, increasing rewards/adding more arena cosmetics, doing more arena-centric events with rewards, etc. I guarantee the community would play arena a ton.

  • flyfishersteven Flyfishersteven (@flyfishersteven) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Sadly I'm pretty over the game now. Too messed up for too long. Lucky if I'm on once every couple of weeks and when I do get on it's annoying to see that nothing has improved and all the same issues are there. If it wasn't for my one buddy playing I likely wouldn't at all

  • milkynecro Milkynecro (@milkynecro) reported

    @SaltGirthQuake @SeaOfThieves Wasn't around. But yeah, I think it's at a good spot, the only issue is the ancient keg commendation.

  • xB0NAx B0NA (@xB0NAx) reported

    I understand Custom Servers it's a service you need to maintain. But now #SotShot will be literally Pay to Win. Not cool. @SeaOfThieves

  • SmashCan3 SavageSonOfa (@SmashCan3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves most games dont even take their servers down to update, get it together..

  • Senoly06 Şenol YILDIRIM (@Senoly06) reported

    @TheBeego @SeaOfThieves I wasn't just speaking for myself, I personally don’t have any health issues that prevent me from playing PvP. But there are many people who love this game and still can’t play PvP for various reasons, like limited hand mobility, poor vision or other physical, mental challenges.

  • BetterBhvr BetterBHVR (@BetterBhvr) reported

    @SpovidTV @SeaOfThieves Fixing the game start issues is key. Arena died in no small part because 1 afk solo player would often hold up an otherwise full galleon lobby indefinitely and no one could play so people stopped trying. They were tired of waiting in the tavern for 30 minutes between matches.

  • Idk14006381 The maid2247 (@Idk14006381) reported

    @Itz_Tubez @SeaOfThieves So if someone had previously broken these rules, and then the rules get uplifted, that person has no longer done anything wrong.

  • NearlyMagic NearlyMagic (@NearlyMagic) reported

    @SeaOfThieves game is literally broken garbage with unresponsive controls and the worst servers i have ever seen in any game ever, including free ones

  • BeardBerserk 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐤 🏴‍☠️ (@BeardBerserk) reported

    @K4TG4R @SeaOfThieves No problem! I was glad you helped. 🤩

  • savethemexican8 SaveTHEMEXICAN (@savethemexican8) reported

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves This will certainly not glitch out and break the game

  • ChessBell22 ChessBell22 (@ChessBell22) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Make the Server lag free

  • el_centroverita Abogados (@el_centroverita) reported

    @xChosen_Undeadx @SeaOfThieves Rare was once really cool and brought out games that put them in trouble with Nintendo. Now they are just gey pirates.

  • mikeyg0707 Mike (@mikeyg0707) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Cant even connect my ps5 to your game sisu xbox or how you need to call it doesn't work pls help for a fix

  • DukeGroggy Duke groggy (@DukeGroggy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your game I’m on a streak of 3 and have 5 flags ready to sell and I get cyan bearded thanks give me my levels

  • Baron_Feisten Feisten (@Baron_Feisten) reported

    @x2j5_ @SeaOfThieves Hey, you are not the first Person who used that Spot and i will not be the last and that is 100% OK as long as the Idea is new. Our shots are just at the Same Spot and thats it so i don't See the Problem

  • neonyuro Yuro (@neonyuro) reported

    @ashyra_ @busted63233254 @SeaOfThieves It does matter since it’s a paid service. Only adds more to the exclusivity and broadens the gap between players in terms of networking,skill,content and more. Rare is **** and will continue to be ****

  • TheBeego 👑The J.R.R. TolKING👑 (@TheBeego) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This game is fundamentally broken and runs like the engine is a house of cards. Fix the foundation before adding more crap that will compound on the problems.

  • Symbiotic_Storm Cody Gordon (@Symbiotic_Storm) reported

    My favorite @SeaOfThieves thing I tested in insiders was throwable cursed cannonballs. I still think we should have gotten to keep them. Also the original harpoon was crazy fun to use, broken…but fun to use.

  • DayKahDos DK2️⃣ (@DayKahDos) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Better late than never for the controller interaction/swapping changes. It's been much needed for years, but nice to see the issue noticed and planned to be fixed!

  • StoogeFella Joshua Price (@StoogeFella) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd the game is literally unplayable for me on pc gamepass. I bought the game years ago and I can’t even join a game without seeing longboard, coursebeard, or cyanbeard. I’ve tried to find an answer to my problems and I got nothing. This might be the end for me
