• bob jamal (@siga445) reported 4 hours ago

  @SeaOfThieves Is there any plan to fix the cheating issue in hourglass? For the past 3 nights I try to play hourglass and every single time I get cheaters and when I report them it says not enough information.

  @SeaOfThieves can yall fix the fortress phantoms' pathing? they cant go up or down stairs anymore XD

• 120SOT (@120_sot) reported 18 hours ago

  @LiquidVitriol @DB_P00PER @SeaOfThieves Sure, but that's not because of a pride flag. The real issue is years of stale updates, recycled content, and devs ignoring actual gameplay feedback.

• Swabbie John (@SwabbieJohn) reported 2 days ago

  @KingHotdogPig @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves 24,000 hours and zero shroudeds when the goal is five. Not broken at all. Actually nevermind, it's your fault. You should have 48,000 hours played or even more. The fact that you slept and did other things is your fault.

• Artist of Thieves (@ArtistofThieves) reported 2 days ago

  @UnfiredPistol @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Me and my crew (all console players) welcome this change for fov. You dont speak for us! Your word means nothing! There are plenty of console players that use over 90 fov just fine without any complications. You're making up problems that dont exist.

• Jake (@AlbisJake90035) reported 2 days ago

  @Thornbush42 @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves i think we need proper server stability before any rings are added and seasons are added, stop back logging the devs so real issues can be fixed, nobody asked for pirate profiles, hyping it up is sad, I can create 4-6 characters on diablo day 1,

• Thorny (@Thornbush42) reported 2 days ago

  @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves I have no answer for a better system, but this problem combined with the store problem (i.e. that cosmetics for real $$ look at least 10x better than in-game cosmetic unlocks) very much makes the only realistically achievable and rewarding cosmetic thing to aim for requires $$ :(

• BeerIsIceCold (@thor_wayne90) reported 2 days ago

  @PhyesR @SeaOfThieves And its never been something my crew has ever cared about. It's never been a problem. You know who's problem its been? Pc players constantly modding the game that they arent suppose to.

• Kitayu (@HaugenKitaugen) reported 3 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves Kinda crappy they aren't lowering the commendation requirements. Like,give the players who did it some kind of title or something special for grinding it out. You admit it's a mistake,but you won't fix it? There are other ways to respect players time spent.

• Dolph (@DolphTheManDK) reported 3 days ago

  @DayKahDos @scorchedpeas @SeaOfThieves There is another update coming with a new voyage, however, that doesn't change the fact that they acknowledge they messed up the high commendations requirements, but still refuse to fix in the same sentence due to a tiny amount of people who were able to cheese it before the fix.

• UltimateX12 (@UltimateX12_) reported 3 days ago

  @demonyouknow_ @SeaOfThieves On xbox, General settings/ TV&Display Options/ then change resolution to whatever makes your xbox stop hitching. on PS go to Settings/ Screen And Video/ then you select AGAIN whichever doesn't make your console lag.

• UltimateX12 (@UltimateX12_) reported 3 days ago

  @demonyouknow_ @SeaOfThieves maybe... just maybe more fov will make YOU unstable. but thats not a server side issue that is a hardware issue on your end of the cycle. PC isn't the only platform that can change resolutions btw you can do such on a console EASIER than you were to on a pc.

• BeerIsIceCold (@thor_wayne90) reported 3 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves As a console controller player that has always been a console controller player that has never cared about the fov being an issue whatsoever, this is clearly aimed toward appealing to pc players. Feels like another step toward getting console players to quit.

• Watta Scum (@IsHyojin) reported 4 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves Im suprised nothing has been mentioned about the ashen lord raids. Been bugged loot since the start of the season only dropping the ashen winds skull but no faction loot while defeated. Also upon completion the tornado still lingers and the quest still remains incomplete. Fix ty

• Eric Scott (@Ericcor10197008) reported 4 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves Ha sounds like hourglass is going to be broken again.

• The Demon You Know (@demonyouknow_) reported 4 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves We don't NEED more FOV!! For the love of all that is good and holy, we need more server stability!!! Every update, the ping gets worse and the FPS gets lower. FIX THE DAMN SERVERS BEFORE YOU TRY TO MELT THEM WITH MORE FOV!!!!

• THESPYHUNTER (@Hunterkillerst2) reported 4 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves I only see things my ship can crash into

• Captain BlackeyeThe2nd (Yo/Ho) (@BlackeyeThe2nd) reported 4 days ago

  @W0ty__ @SeaOfThieves ALSO, unlike every other filler-cosmetic in every other life-service videogame ever, they haven't moved out of Milestones, the PE, and events. No ties to commendations, and not wasting slots in the Plunder Pass.

• Austin “AntiVoxx” Collard 🎮 (@acollard12) reported 5 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves PLEASE FIX THE LOADING SCREEN GLITCH IN HOURGLASS

• Flyfishersteven (@flyfishersteven) reported 5 days ago

  @spookyjackaboy @SeaOfThieves a lot of us hardly play anymore. Too many game issues that they don't fix.

• JC Bailey (@ThatJCBailey) reported 5 days ago

  @TheJackieB @SeaOfThieves And alts are free, just login to a different email, lmao.

• JC Bailey (@ThatJCBailey) reported 5 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves Like legit, why should i just buy a second copy of the game. Or just login to my xbox account with an alt? Its free and I get the same thing: a second account idgaf about. No thanks Rare, rethink this one. Give me outfit loadouts instead, I'll gladly pay Ancient Coins for slots.

• Captain McGuffin (also on you know where) (@CaptMcGuffin) reported 5 days ago

  @Wermux @TheJackieB @SeaOfThieves Okay I mean game license= 1 account. Signing in once in an account you can't disconnect after. It's not like it's a new concept, just a very scummy one

• Green (@IamGreen112) reported 5 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves PLEASE MAKE SURE PIRATE PROFILES WORK PROPERLY AND DON'T INTRODUCE ANY PROGRESS ERASING ISSUES.

• Vikinggutt (@Vikinggutt98108) reported 6 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves When are the ones in charge going to step down or realize that the team needs to change direction for this potentialy good game.. I do belive the developers are satisfied with this and that is one of the main problems. Get someone who cares and has ambition first of all 😒

• The Merchant from Resident Evil 4 (@2nutsinyamouth) reported 6 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves RARE PLEASE ABANDON OLD GEN CONSOLE SUPPORT! We need this game to move forward so it doesn’t die. Current gen consoles have been out for 4 years if someone is still playing online Xbox one that is THEIR problem. Focus on improving your game so it doesn’t die.

• Michael krick (@MarineMikeK) reported 6 days ago

  @SeaOfThieves Are we really adding more explosive stuff to the already broken , fps dropping servers. Oh dear gawd will someone please think of the servers. They can't take anymore
