Copper🔜 SoTFest 2026 Panelist (@Coppertailwolf) reported@coldsot_ @SeaOfThieves I had this bug in insiders- because it was testing I didn’t leave and saw it thro and had people pissed but I was like “literally following through on the testing- the entire purpose of right now” That being said I got the same bug yesterday and scuttled cause I don’t want to win like that XD it’s a very broken bug - you’re untouchable too outside the ring closing in. I imagine a lot of people will do the same in that situation, but unfortunately a lot won’t.

CriZox (@CriZox_2) reported@lemmo_fili75824 @SeaOfThieves The issue there is not players who won more than 10 its based on players who won 10 OR more because those people invested a lot of time in this contest and actually remooving people wins is a scam
-
Electreidon (@Electreidon) reported@SeaOfThieves Still a broken game. Go figure.
-
Yuji Fraudatori (@fraudatori) reported@Musks_a_cunt @SeaOfThieves You have no clue how to finish a sentence, and this comment displayed it beautifully, there fixed your error.
-
JustAPlayer37 (@JustAPlayer37) reported@SeaOfThieves I would go back to playing this game on Steam, But I have to sign in to my Xbox Account to play it and I can't be bothered. That though my Gmail Account. So I might as well get this game for my Xbox Console (Series X) with a different account.

Falcon |-/ (@CptStepFalcon) reported@Kk123153210 @Giovann69642526 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, but this is not first not working update. They had more time, literally removed all the content from season 19 to makie this mode work and even moved it for a month later to release and it didnt work. Then, they release it again after more time and it has even more issues
-
Sergio Jason Pina (@SergioJasonPina) reported@SeaOfThieves Can you investigate the cinnamonbeard error on PS5? Getting into PS5 only lobbies with crossplay turned off doesn’t work currently. Turning crossplay back on allows me to get into a server.
-
Jordan an artist (@Captainbat37) reported@SeaOfThieves Everything keeps releasing as a buggy broken mess
-
Astreaux (@astreauxnomical) reported@Whitney_2nd @SeaOfThieves This isn't the point. I still do shots for fun and to help others. The issue is that they're devaluing the time and effort of over 2500 people who have won in the past. That is the issue. If you can't comprehend that, idk what to tell you.
-
Anthony Lorenzen (@ALorenzen1227) reported@SeaOfThieves just spent 60+ million gold on random cosmetics ill never use just to make gold feel important again. admittedly, it did make gold/loot feel more important again, but gold might not be the problem, the things to spend gold on might be.
-
VioletXRogue (@VioletXRogue) reported@2old4stream @SeaOfThieves I don’t think it’s a lack of content that’s the issue. But I do think perhaps if they’d left their game alone to focus on performance and SoT 2 long ago we’d be in a better position.
-
The Dice Tell a Story (@DiceTellaStory) reported@AboutSelphy @SeaOfThieves Scum willing to use exploits and other avenues to disconnect players from the game need to be banned, regardless if the context is true or not.
-
Dr.Nemesis (@Dr_Nemesis_) reported@SeaOfThieves Customs seas would be great if the server didn't crash every five seconds
-
Misfit Electronic Repairs/Gaming (@MisfitElectron) reported@UnclePudge_ @SeaOfThieves Although I only ever get to play solo, Which is 10x harder especially with the Broken Robot that likes to suck out your brains. Would love to play it with a bunch of people
-
🥶Goozman👿 (@TheGoozman99) reported@SuperRegGuy @SeaOfThieves You mean the glitch thats been out for over a year
-
Sergio Jason Pina (@SergioJasonPina) reported@EvilMorpheus @SeaOfThieves Just tried again multiple times on PS5 only servers. Same issue. I times out with cinnamonbeard. I close the game and try again with no success. I open to crossplay, and I connect within minutes. Very frustrating.
-
Super Regular Guy (@SuperRegGuy) reported@SeaOfThieves Did yall patch the new glitch that lets players get infinite levels on HG?
-
shaun john (@shaunjo57082499) reported@SeaOfThieves your game is now trash and plagued by swarms of cheaters. I get you just ban them cause cheaters are happy to buy multiple copies of the game so its a + for your revenue, but how about just fixing the issue instead of being money hungry pigs that cover up pdf for a laugh,.
-
Follow on Bluesky (@BowtieShyGuy) reported@MissusPeanut @SeaOfThieves It's fine to leave a hobby you no longer enjoy. It's also fine to enjoy it after having a break. If complaining about your hobby replaces your actual hobby, you have a problem. Finding a better hobby is the mature thing to do.

Lady Shaia (@ladyshaia) reportedWell I feel robbed tried to do the raid on the fea fort cause I had 3 hours left only for the game to lag out badly hard game crash as well disconnected from my microsoft account where I had to relink for some reason and now I can't get back on 😔 plz do better #SeaofThieves
-
Master (@Lotus_Koril) reported@shanksy32 @SeaOfThieves Bonecalles were essentially a win button on solo sloopers and a huge problem on duo sloop. This has nothing to do with skill issue, they were just unbalanced, especially if you don't like playing the sword.

almtychcknpoo (@AlmtyChcknPoo) reported@KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves No, you are right. None of us should be asking partners to stand down. I am allowed to choose whose content I want to support as a result. The problem is that these things have been going on for years at this point. It could have been prevented if Rare stepped in and stopped CM a long time ago. Rare is 100% accountable for who they have representing their game. CM are representatives. I ain't gonna force anyone to step down or take a stand, but if it appears that someone is trying to leverage a charity stream to boost their numbers and appear as a good person, for a charity that doesn't actively help OUR victims, I'm unfollowing them. If they are the least bit fake, I'm unfollowing. That's my choice and no ones gonna miss me around...so the decision is most likely mutual anyways. I absolutely do want to see a bigger push though and nothing is going to change without it. Hell, some streamers haven't mentioned it but they have been streaming other games lately...silently protesting already despite making a statement. Kudos to them.

꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reportedLast ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 40+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.
-
B0NA (@xB0NAx) reported@CptStepFalcon @Lukitch59 @SeaOfThieves Devs can say whatever they want but practically Insider is just a beta test and not the definive version of the game. They don't know what it can be broken by adding/changing some things.
-
GasMaskMan (@GasMaskMan88) reported@RareLtd @SeaOfThieves #Playstation5 #PS5 Your last update completely deleted my years of progress. Everything I owned and all my faction levels have been deleted. On top of that I am forced to re-sign in to my Microsoft account every single time I get on. Why bother playing now?
-
kizu (@yk_kizu) reportedHuge W’s for SoT today, diving took out what was so special about this game’s experience. Pretty sure this game is marketed as a “shared world experience”. It is kind of insane how many people are complaining about this; ya’ll are the problem! #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate
-
Master (@Lotus_Koril) reported@RobertByron23 @SeaOfThieves Its 3 per player, which means up to 12 on a galleon. It takes more skill to use a blunderbuss then it does to use a bonecaller. And if you were a good player, you would be able to outplay the ladder guard, even with a blunderbuss. So yea, it a massive skill issue on youre side.
-
Smoke (@SmokeBeardTV) reported@Psychobaker_24 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves i dont believe thats up to you or me to decide that, lets just wait for the company to address the problem publicly.
-
RevBombRR Official (@RevBombRR) reported@SeaOfThieves The fact that the game is this old and you guys still can't figure out how to release an update says something about the dev team. If I was this bad at my job, I definitely wouldn't have 19 seasons to fix it

Manda⛈️🖤 (@MandersTheT) reported@SeaOfThieves Why are alliances being broken if getting sunk by a enemy boat multiple times. I get the new mechanic but if boats are allied then maybe they shouldn't get merged out.
