    Hi @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd when you go to enter the portal that goes to Sailors Grave in the tall tale nº 1 of A Pirate's Life the game stays in standby and after a while it returns you to sea of thieves so you can't enter to do the tall tale, please fix it.

  • hibachi_lopez drolapez (@hibachi_lopez) reported

    @SeeDeathMore @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Maybe I’ve been broken by years of gaming, but honestly if I get torched by other players I think it’s super funny. Especially when I’m soloing in a sloop and a galleon roles up cannons hot and sinks me in seconds I just can’t help be amused. PvPvE is best.

  • OFFICIALRealGTZ RealGTZ (@OFFICIALRealGTZ) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The moment you get on and realize nothing new still broken

  • dieselkeough Dieselkeough (@dieselkeough) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is the hair clipping issue for the slick hair going to be fixed?

  • noob76052507 oxynatOr (@noob76052507) reported

    @NoahKel06918695 @SeaOfThieves just go to server with a ping under 70... and hit reg is no problem. its anoying that they dont get rid of this crap.

  • umlweatherman Will Sheridan (@umlweatherman) reported

    @EddieThe_Bear @ShinoWolfy @SeaOfThieves My only real issue is its a guaranteed spawn for anything underwater. Have not gone underwater once since they have been added and been left alone.

  • Aidanlancaster1 Aidan lancaster (@Aidanlancaster1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The team of SOT have done so much for us in terms of content and fixes in very quick fashion. So if anyone is just gonna come into this post to talk trash about issues they have said the team is aware of. Save your snowflake breath.

  • yaboicaptains bruv (@yaboicaptains) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @primegaming can you guys fix the problem where you just are in a endless loop between to the the 2 websites being told to link your account.

  • UnalloyedMars Mars (@UnalloyedMars) reported

    @SeaOfThieves So ur telling me you made sirens even more annoying but you didn’t fix the constant crashing issues Ight bet

  • SkinnyGunnaa Lus (@SkinnyGunnaa) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why has there not been a single event in my games for 2 days… please fix your game, and make events more common💯

  • anarcho_goblin 🌿🍄moss🍄🌿 (@anarcho_goblin) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @primegaming so why do checkpoints still not work for the sunken pearl, i was on chapter 3 and now I’m gonna have to start this completely broken quest for the THIRD time

  • SRooster925 SithRooster925 (@SRooster925) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Are you ever gonna fix spawn points? Respawning just to get instantly killed by the guy waiting there is total bullshit and ruins the game.

  • Florent61Tina Tina‏‎ﺦ (@Florent61Tina) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Bug fix

  • NoszczakIgnacy ignacy noszczak (@NoszczakIgnacy) reported

  • ShinoWolfy Shino_SSBE (@ShinoWolfy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves So you seriously did not fix the enemies spawn rates?! You cant even do a treasure map without atleast around 30 enemies attacking you half of them the annoying sirens!

  • Ch33seWeasel Ch33seWeasel (@Ch33seWeasel) reported

    @JoeDifford @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Yeah this has been a problem for a while now, I've been having it for at least a week before they dropped a pirate's life. Seems like they have bigger fish to fry atm, but this does feel like this is a simple fix.

  • Thunderus76 Thunderus (@Thunderus76) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm still not able to get into a server anybody else having the same issue?

  • Haziq_Heartfelt Haziq The Heartfelt (@Haziq_Heartfelt) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support i need help my friend has been trying to play the game but they keep on getting the error asheard, we tried everything, Land setting, xbox live accont checks, reset window, sign in and out, but nothing works and they are on steam

  • Justmy2cents11 Justmy2cents (@Justmy2cents11) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This issue never effects me, but how has it been 3 years and the in-game timer hasn't been increased to an hour. There's no way that can be too difficult to do.

  • luckyace Thrumwald #BlackLives Matter #vaccinated (@luckyace) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Seemed like a lot of lag in the game after this patch. All of the people I played with today eventually experienced lag. Maybe the servers were having a rough time today?

  • JSingherPro PenTak (@JSingherPro) reported

    @ShinoWolfy @EddieThe_Bear @SeaOfThieves Skill issue (just kidding tho)

  • VPCYT Virtual Party Center🎃 (@VPCYT) reported

    @MaxHolton97 @Yarnick182 @SeaOfThieves Same - I finished it yesterday no problem

  • Rezniketoo Reznik (@Rezniketoo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Plz, plz @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd fix the god AWFUL screen tearing on Xbox Series X version It's not acceptable to have such severe tearing, that's not something we would see on Sony 1st party game, and for good reason: it's UGLY and show a lack of polish

  • SpectralRose Rose Levire (@SpectralRose) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Still kind've proving my theories about thought processes behind some of the design for The Sunken Pearl and how that tall tale was not properly tested. But at least you're working to fix it still I suppose.. I should get back to it, haven't done 4th and 5th tales yet.

  • KosstimusPrime Alan Koss (@KosstimusPrime) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so, I've been playing again over the last few days again. Patch dropped today, now I'm getting disconnected from game every 10 minutes using Xbox app on pc. Am I the only one experiencing this issue? No crashes at all before this patch

  • Bucket_Master39 Jadyn Levengood (@Bucket_Master39) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Y’all gonna fix the bug where none of the merchant alliance crates I get from flameheart don’t even give me money or rep I’ve so many times not got rep just cause of the glitch

  • _Jontis_ Jontis (@_Jontis_) reported

    @itsmeekevina @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Why is this tall tale so broken? it would be curtious to respond, just to explain, she has asked 5+ times. No fix? no timescale?

  • entrancedlove 🌸 Sage (@entrancedlove) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves that’s 2 updates now to fix something that could have been easily fixed with creating separate instances. y’all really like doing extra work. how much are you paying the devs to beat around the bush when it comes to simple solutions that afford less down time?

  • sillybunt5 ⚽ Shy Tot ⚽ (@sillybunt5) reported

    @SeaOfThieves It's still not working for me! I've spent over 12 hours trying to complete the Black Pearl mission but to no avail. Even after the update the Kraken still isn't appearing for me! I give up! 😡
