    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Out of everything you took that... Personally I'm quite active whether or not I'm playing the game so it wasn't an issue to me, but the amount of people that aren't active and didn't know beforehand or don't have easy access to twitter on demand... yikes

  • LBozzie98 Bozzie (@LBozzie98) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Trying not to crash into every island I see…

  • Bear_Festival Bear Festival (3D Vtuber Commissions Open) (@Bear_Festival) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can we read this article on a Sunday or will the site crash?

  • JacobMarlowe3 Jacob Marlowe (@JacobMarlowe3) reported

    @Merrickthewise @SeaOfThieves Obviously you don't know how these things work. Game sales are used to recoup development costs and fund future projects. Not support the ones that are now aging. I've never had issues with this game until the community day event. Maybe it's an issue with you or your internet?

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Wow way to make jokes about the ongoing server issues. No mention of investingating or addressing the server issues let's just poke fun at the whole situatuon by mentioning beards. @RareLtd you guys need to do better by the Community enough beating around the bush.

  • SundropJo SundropJo☀️ (@SundropJo) reported

    Just tried playing @SeaOfThieves but the severe lag got so bad I smashed into a rock, went thru said rock and was sinking but my bucket bugged out and would not empty. Got on a new server then got kicked out due to Microsoft error. This is getting so bad

  • mixedsucks Afro (@mixedsucks) reported

    @SeaOfThieves SOT servers down? what else is new?

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Assisting Rare in this case throughout the other comments on the post isn't helping anyone. Sure SOME people got in, but the issue was dragged on for the entire weekend ruining it for those who didn't know what was even going on. I like to be on Rares side too but this is absurd

  • Aero157 Joshua Wilken (@Aero157) reported

    @SeaOfThieves MF'r probably getting that coralbeard error....

  • xYoungBullx xYoungBull95x (@xYoungBullx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Servers are down on a regular basis no need to say it. How bout you actually make the game work and be fun again. Seems like all the dev's are beating there meat behind there desks. Matchmaking is garbage u join a game for everyone to leave please for the love of god fix the game

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Turning a blind eye to the issue overall and allowing this company to keep getting away with this stuff is going to damage the long term health of the game, so having a handful of random players be able to actually log in on a certain week end every season is seriously bad news

  • SweetSandMan SweetSandman (@SweetSandMan) reported

    @SeeDeathMore @_ObscureTyler @SeaOfThieves The reach would probably be fine if the backtracking wasn't such a problem. But, backtracking is a huge problem. Until that gets resolved, they should either reduce the range on the sword by a hair or get rid of the stun lock.

  • ActivistGamer Completionist Gamer (@ActivistGamer) reported

    @Loki88340591 @SeaOfThieves Me and my wife took the day off and tried for 8 hours. We were told they were bottlenecking players in because the servers were overloaded. Funny enough, every partnered streamer had streams going on twitch with no issues logging in.

  • Thegaer2 Thegaer (@Thegaer2) reported

    @The1AMparty @CaptainBroly1 @SeaOfThieves Nope, now its even ingame. What youre describing are server problems that i'm sure that they are working hard on fixing it.

  • MrsFiGGiEs Alex 💜🐮 @ Advanced lvl 3 ✨ (@MrsFiGGiEs) reported

  • Squall_v2 Thomas Greene (@Squall_v2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Make it past the sign in screen.

  • kman546 Kaiden G (@kman546) reported

    @andreasspindle2 @SeaOfThieves Yeah like honestly when the server’s are down I just do something else until they come back up it’s honestly not a big deal like if they fix something they fix something they don’t they don’t

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Joking about server issues... it's a real shame you guys aren't taking these matters seriously.

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves Most recent newsletter was a huge disappointment. Poking fun at the server issues and ongoing outages by trying to make light fun with beards. Didn't think it was funny.

  • basically_kobe gabagoo (@basically_kobe) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the servers. Then I'll grab my gear

  • jalapeenoosssss Jalapeenoosssss (@jalapeenoosssss) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why do I get put in 160 ping lobbies makes no sense game is so broken

  • StoogeAussie Aussie Stooge (@StoogeAussie) reported

    Just done a fotd with 3 other boats in an alliance... and shock horror it didn't count ... plz fix little things b4 you go crazy on new content @SeaOfThieves

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @Pharaoh_Rising @SeaOfThieves They only joked about it. No acknowledgement of the ongoing server issues. They're trying to avoid addressing the situation entirely. It's painfully obvious. @RareLtd "Despite the meddling of a certain fruit-bearded buccaneer keeping players off the seas".

  • TylaGratton Tyla Gratton (@TylaGratton) reported

    @BoiBitty @invader__alu @SeaOfThieves Have both, problem solved

  • wavey_gravey Nola (@wavey_gravey) reported

    Still getting Blue Beard error on #SeaOfThieves Insider. 😭 Week 150 and I'm being denied.

  • _ObscureTyler Opperating 🏴‍☠️ (@_ObscureTyler) reported

    @SeeDeathMore @SeaOfThieves The reach on the sword is insane because of backtracks and broken hit boxes like you said, which I think is the worst part

  • taintedbuthole Ryan (@taintedbuthole) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why does this game never work on sundays? I consistently have this problem l. Every Sunday. What’s up with that?

  • Zach89358725 evo (@Zach89358725) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Refunding game servers down more then there up

  • flotsamtv flotsam 💀 (@flotsamtv) reported

    @HLariash @SeaOfThieves no wind no problem

  • SeeDeathMore SeeDeath (@SeeDeathMore) reported

    @_ObscureTyler @SeaOfThieves I honestly [don’t] believe the reach to be as outrageous as many people make it out to be, as I doubt even RareLTD to be stupid enough to implement such a thing, I think it’s more the back-tracking which makes it appear so, so, so broken.
