  @ChampExxotic @Captain_Falcore @SeaOfThieves This never was a problem because when a server dies you get merged. That's how we used to "dive" to new servers at reaper 5. Sure it was slower and less in our control. But the consequence of someone raising the Reaper's Bones emissary was way greater for the server.

  Damn, this #sotshot copying thing is a real epidemic huh? They hide behind the "there is no rule against it" and "people have the same ideas" quotes as well as the "I didn't see that shot" while later their dms are exposed of them thinking they have more SoT Clout than the original so it's fine. Can @SeaOfThieves just start making note of these people and groups who copy and steal? The community has plenty enough issues as it is already. BTW, attached is the original SotShot, and I hope the original creator reposts this shot and it rightfully wins over the copy this time if the judges find it fits the theme.

  @SeaOfThieves Player that has played since day 1 here,✋ Horrible experience. Hopped back to test the event and new doubloon system. Doubloons not coming through, servers lagging like hell on last ship standing (ships flying, long waiting time...) Please, I love the game, fix something🙏

  @supermariopla11 @SeaOfThieves That's...that's not what's causing server performance to suck. Like at all. Preventing expansion of the game, maybe. But not server issues. If anything, high end PCs with uncapped FPS and/or max graphics cause more server strain. But even that isn't the underlying issue.

  @SeaOfThieves do you know that you kick players for idling WHILE ACTIVELY BROWSING AND PURCHASING FROM SHOPS?! Just thought you’d want to fix the dumb bug😒

  @SeaOfThieves After the HG games this evening I see this game still has the same issues it has had for years. Weapons being very unbalanced, HitReg, Lagging, Stuttering, Cannons wont load or fire. Extreme desync! I really want to enjoy this game again.... Rare has yet to show me I can

  @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.

  @ManVsMiniatures @SeaOfThieves Its written by their legal team not rare. They know how to phrase stuff without getting into more trouble. While I do agree, law wise their respond is sadly the only correct way.

  @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.

  Let’s be real for one minute here. Putting hourglass in SEPARATE SERVERS is one of the easiest solutions to Sea of Thieves’ biggest problems: dead servers. By making this one change, alongside the removal of diving and raid voyages, players can guarantee that a ship they see at the start of a session will still be there even 20 minutes later, unless someone or something gets to them first. As of right now, if I were to join a server, see a Reaper, buy supplies, and go to hunt them down, there is an insanely high chance that said Reaper (or Guild) will be GONE by the time you start sailing. That’s just ridiculous. Get rid of diving, and separate hourglass from the main adventure servers, and see how it improves the livelihood of the seas. #savetheseas #seaofthieves #bemorepirate

  @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?

  Last 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 playing. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

  @SeaOfThieves Are you guys ever going to fix the fps teleport glitch, I’m sick of playing on 144fps when I could be playing on uncapped

  We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well. And it doesn't matter if you write to Microsoft HR or the Board or anyone else. Your email gets dumped in the trash. Your voice doesn't matter. CMs for video games can do whatever they want apparently and silence their community. If only you knew how bad it is over here. We feel your pain, though. As a consumer, we aren't allowed to have an opinion or voice them.

  @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.
