  • KayKatana IcedKatana (@KayKatana) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The new adventure is confusing to navigate, many many people have had problems! It doesn't explain anything properly, it doesn't indicate that the map you have is for the skull or is special in any way and have been starting chapter 2 again because they don't know what to do etc

  • FrostSchneider Liquid Raptor (@FrostSchneider) reported

    Anybody having issues loading into Arena right now? #seaofthieves

  • MmSkittlesMm C (@MmSkittlesMm) reported

    Has anyone got the Runtime error on Sea of Thieves and know how to fix it? #SeaOfThieves

  • storiesofpetey Stories of Petey (@storiesofpetey) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I play on the Xbox one x, my husband plays on Xbox series x. Until recently we had no problems playing together. Now whenever we try we get disconnected and get the allmondbeard error. Help?

  • zekecoker Zeke Coker (@zekecoker) reported

    @SeaOfThieves pleaee try to fix load times and voice chat for Xbox players 🙏

  • Nemesis2K -Dreamcast Forever- (@Nemesis2K) reported

    @Bah02027040 @Fluffyfatman @SeaOfThieves I agree, one is a real issue.

  • jamester0722 James Mikolajewski (@jamester0722) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves My wife & I are running into the Allmond Beard server issue. I'm on an Xbox Series X and she's on my old Xbox One X. We used to play together all the time, each on our own screen. But now it crashes any time we try to play together. Any suggestions?

  • frankcasillas50 Frank (@frankcasillas50) reported

    I have a 500/500 Fiber connection in California connected with ethernet on the Series X and I’m constantly lagging and rubber banding on the seas, Not sure if its the servers or what but its super frustrating 😕 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • vanna3333 Vanna (@vanna3333) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can we get an update resolving the UI rendering issues for xbox platforms its a bit frustrating to blindy navigate menus. Thanks in advance. -Vanna

  • JamesON49020782 JON (@JamesON49020782) reported

    @Loki88340591 @SeaOfThieves Perhaps you didn’t understand. Many faced the same issues over that weekend. 🥴

  • chriswillson8 chris willson (@chriswillson8) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey I know you had issues before in the past with the pirate appearance potion but seems to be still an issue as I've purchased one but can't use it even with logging out, I'm cloud playing currently. Says to download it from library but nothing is there? Help?

  • TruaxRiley riley truax (@TruaxRiley) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i just finished all buried treasure commendations and its not giving me my achievement. is it just a server issue or is this a bug

  • LeaTheaux Laynyd (@LeaTheaux) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why the servers are lagging to 20 to 259 ping when we are close to people ?

  • Ckstearns Uniapeg/Crystal (@Ckstearns) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Community day was and is a great idea. But there were a LOT of problems and glitches. It needs work. I'm hopeful the next one will be better.

  • Belle_SoT Belle Legend of the Deep and The Sea of Thieves (@Belle_SoT) reported

    @swdrawings_nl @SeaOfThieves @sotshotcentral Head to the broken down galli and hide there until there gone. If you are captured by the reapers tell them nothing.

  • Drizzop1 Drizzop (@Drizzop1) reported

    @SmiIey_Faces @SeaOfThieves Guess I’m not that upset cause there a lot bigger problems with the game then what they’re always focused on.. I just quit the game because I’m tired of pve updates and nothing that helps the game as a whole pvp and pve.. plus hitreg and ads bug make me wonder why guns exist in

  • legilimanzy Legilimanzy (@legilimanzy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves problems with the arena 😔

  • Drizzop1 Drizzop (@Drizzop1) reported

    @SmiIey_Faces @SeaOfThieves I personally think this is stupid.. I understand a lot of peeps want these weapons but now there’s two sets of these weapons making the original less unique as well as you don’t have to grind nor play the game no where near as much to get these… wow has this problem rn

  • XRayLexx XRayLexx (DTW) (@XRayLexx) reported

    @chacraboy83 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, we did that after it eventually worked. Problem was the new map just looks like every other found map so we nearly missed it. Finally did it, 3 or so hours later. A bit frustrating.

  • JordanKgames JordanK (@JordanKgames) reported

    .@SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I bought an appearance change potion from the pirate emporium and every time I go to change my character the game locks up... How do I fix this?

  • 0Enzzo professional fart boxer (@0Enzzo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves 2 hours wasted on a quest because the ******* boat does a flip, like fix your ****

  • OldMateClown OldMateClown (@OldMateClown) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix Arena achievements when the servers close. You did it for banana crates so you can do it now.

  • iloveponies15 Iloveponies15 (@iloveponies15) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves How bout you fix your ****** shrouded islands quest? How are you guys this stupid to make a rune drop randomly. Do any of you even play this game? Nobody wants to play a tale more than once. They all suck. The story isn't interesting. Everyone at rare should be fired

  • spstarr Shawn (@spstarr) reported

    Tip on #SeaOfThieves install error 0x80073cf9. Make sure you do not disable NTFS encryption in Group Policy, it will not be able to download, seems there is some encryption in use.

  • wil58532329 Neal Wilson (@wil58532329) reported

    @SeaOfThieves arena not working. Matchmaking fails all morning

  • stordyr Stordyr Gaming (@stordyr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves We played through it on day 1.... then back to the Arena-grind since you decided that instead of fixing arena to shut it down. I'm not happy. 2% was not the time spent because no one was interested. It was 2% because it's broken.

  • Naser1114499962 Naser1122 (@Naser1114499962) reported

    @SeaOfThieves is there any problems with arena servers ? because i always get beared ...

  • 7eventy7_ 7eventy7 (@7eventy7_) reported

    @CrewMisfortune @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves The blame for this issue should not be put on those that decide to use it. This is an ongoing issue with the game, and it appears Rare has tried to patch it before.

  • humble2150 🐟 Humble 🍍 (@humble2150) reported

    @Pandxxxxx @SeaOfThieves I considered it but I’m not great at PvP. I experience frequent lag spikes during the day when I have other people on my internet. So I’d only be able to play at night which would end up taking me even longer.

  • emerson_sparky Emerson Sparky (@emerson_sparky) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i was expecting a little more work from you. the rune tablet won't spawn. i did the adventure 8x. nothing. stop making crap skins to sell on the emporium and FIX YOUR GAME. please.
