  • LibertyLudens Lazarus Long (@LibertyLudens) reported

    @KevinDahmer @Mama_M1903 I'll never forgive Ubi for letting the prince die. Love the sands trilogy. Even the bonus 4th game AND the reboot. I'm also so mad skull & bones is being turned into some games as a service SeaOfThieves competitor instead of the awesome single player pirate game could have been

  • chuglord371 chuglord371 (@chuglord371) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX THE HACKING PROBLEMS just lost another fort of the damned because of hackers/server hoppers

  • AbairTyler Tyler Abair (@AbairTyler) reported

    @Metalex12345 @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Yes. Disconnect your account from prime, then add theirs. Redeem, then remove and place your account back on it.

  • Taaaaamas Taaamas (@Taaaaamas) reported

    @aluminum_eagle @ChappersChapman @SeaOfThieves My issue with titles like these, they get too long and tacky. Simple 2 (or 3) word titles are always the best, like how they did with Summer Events Titles.

  • ChrisW3bb3r Archangel (@ChrisW3bb3r) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I love your game, but I seem to get a lot of issues getting into servers. Anyone have any advice?

  • Pixleator PixleatorGames (@Pixleator) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your ****** *** game, black loading screen into a game crash. rejoin session into a black screen, immediately die and go into a black screen.

  • C4RLILE SC91 (@C4RLILE) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I remember when the kraken was an actual threat. Now, it can be sent swimming away in less than 30 seconds. The only time it causes problems is when it traps a ship who's being chased down by another. Bring back the original kraken!

  • flimsyshovel dax | THANKYOUISAYAMA (@flimsyshovel) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @primegaming the day you guys stop giving the most garbage ******* twitch drops is the day i’ll finally be happy, how long will you just give out **** people already have and ignore everyone ??? fix your ******* game

  • TheMightyRyan_ TheMightyRyan (@TheMightyRyan_) reported

    @llMrllMONSTER @SeaOfThieves @primegaming I'll give it a go, cheers. It's just strange because this is the first time I'm having issues doing it on PC

  • SoT_Support Sea of Thieves Info & Support (@SoT_Support) reported

    @kingka_ma @SeaOfThieves Hey there. Are you getting any beard errors when you try to log in?

  • EverKnowingNix Aisling MacLaren (@EverKnowingNix) reported

    @SeaOfThieves is there maintenance going on? I keep getting the Lavenderbeard error about services being unavailable.

  • FormyOnMain Don't ever put me in a situation (@FormyOnMain) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Has an identity issue. It's not a good enough PvP game to warrant having PvP in it at all (netcode, imbalance, cheating) yet the core game mechanics are deeply flawed for PvE. Why can't I take a ship down from the inside? Why do I spawn in front of a blunderbuss?

  • Flynn4Dinner Fat Ugly Talking Cat (@Flynn4Dinner) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your damn game it's really broken right now

  • Country_Grit Country Grit (@Country_Grit) reported

    @PhyCaster @pjb927 @SeaOfThieves Again we were on a server take over and had 0 reason to believe we would have issues. If I didnt touch them, they would have been fine. I just have bad ADOS (attention deficit OOOHHHH SHINY)

  • TheRetroKaiju RetroKaiju (@TheRetroKaiju) reported

    @AbairTyler @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Yeah, I suppose. It feels weird though, it took you to tell me those were feathers. Honestly I thought they were broken planks of wood on the side. I don't have the game, so it doesn't really bother me all that much, but it's just a little weird.

  • EddieThe_Bear Eddie Kvammen (@EddieThe_Bear) reported

    @BehavingBeardly @SeaOfThieves Didn't you know, beardly? For every 10 person that writes that, they will fix it faster!

  • GrumpyGaymer Level 36 Grumpy Bear (@GrumpyGaymer) reported

    @Lasshatry @SeaOfThieves So tempted. Biggest problem is time zones with that offer :P

  • Balketh Bear (@Balketh) reported

    @AdorkableKakapo @HumbleKagu @SeaOfThieves A brief google on my part shows both versions of this error have been a problem for at least 3 years; no idea what causes it, but it seems to be some sort of slow-to-paused loading issue - as though only the lowest LoD models are present, and thus, the traders also don't load in.

  • Mr_Wolf_15G Mr Wolf (@Mr_Wolf_15G) reported

    @AshtreyGaming @SeaOfThieves Was having the same problem on and off the last 2 weeks

  • IllBushido305 Bushido (@IllBushido305) reported

    @Capt_Vicarious @SeaOfThieves The only way is to provide actual proof of these issues so keep it in mind if it ever repeats. Buying the Plunder Pass doesn’t mean anything in regards of the legend curse as it’s a legend reward, not an emporium item.

  • T10GOLDENGaming 🇰🇵That cringe Youtuber🇰🇵 (@T10GOLDENGaming) reported

    @PirateLegendSOT @SeaOfThieves Yeah that happened to me as well, but it was a pretty laggy server, I boarded a brig that was chasing after us after we sank them 3 times, all me and my friends games were super laggy and I got on their boat and anchored them but they were all invis but I think its caused by lag

  • llMrllMONSTER Mr MONSTER (@llMrllMONSTER) reported

    @TheMightyRyan_ @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Try it on your phone. I’ve had better luck like that. I’ve had tons of trouble doing it on my computer 👍🏼

  • ArkhamD4 ArkhamD4 (@ArkhamD4) reported

    @BobBankGaming @SeaOfThieves Potentially yeah. Same issue as before really, don't know a lot of people on there but I need a new game to get stuck into desperately

  • Balketh Bear (@Balketh) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Came to an island to sell up. Brig teleports in close out of nowhere, go to sell, and NONE of the vendors are there! This has been a known issue for THREE YEARS, people! SERIOUSLY. Sailed to the EDGE of the map after dropping our loot, these ******** still chasing us

  • ACyrak Kratex (@ACyrak) reported

    @seaosama @SeaOfThieves Just like most table top games, Sea of thieves is also intended to be played with others. Friends, in this case. Yeah they could do some changes with the sloop, but eventually it wouldn't solve your problem. I suck at solo too. But I play other games when my crew's offline

  • jonny_booth 𝕁🍩𝕟𝕟𝕪 𝔹🍩🍩𝕥𝕙 (@jonny_booth) reported

    @IcyMethodMan @SeaOfThieves I dont think it’s a problem that the bigger ships have these but they shouldn’t be as effective. There’s no way a galleon should be able to turn as quick as a sloop when you use the harpoon.

  • BelladonnaRobin 🦋 Changeling 🦋 (@BelladonnaRobin) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Weirdly I crashed to desktop midgame today with no error code at all. Can't say it's ever happened before.

  • Disable_Chicken Disable Chicken (@Disable_Chicken) reported

    @MthrOfChkns @SeaOfThieves !drops !claim !drop Why is this not working?

  • ascarytoaster Ackwah (@ascarytoaster) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix hit reg so PVPers stop quitting the game

  • Terdman1992 Thomas Erdman (@Terdman1992) reported

    Couldn’t put bait on my fishing line in @SeaOfThieves for a few years. Went to their website to ask for help, and while writing out my issue to them, it hit me, the “bait” button wasn’t bound to any button. I’m stupid.
