    @happyf333tz @SeaOfThieves -Hey! I can provide you a better service Just HMU.

  • Jrams307 Vic Vaxx (@Jrams307) reported

    @AlexL0519 @SeaOfThieves We got 1 tablet. Clearly the drop rate is broken.

  • pyperhyper76 hyper studios (@pyperhyper76) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I have encountered a bug where when I'm doing the adventure if I spend more then 1 hour 30 minutes in game I crash this gets old as I've not been able to complete it because of this it's only during this event

  • ONEDJRICH 🇺🇦 ONEDJRICH 🇺🇦 (@ONEDJRICH) reported

    @SeaOfThieves needs to be made quicker! The fact I can hear everything for a good minute before I'm loaded in, is just ridiculous. I've noticed since the Series X/S, game are now slower on the Xbox One. Before, there was no issues.

  • KharjoJo Kharjo'Jo Miniatures (@KharjoJo) reported

    @BenTenn80965799 @slinkyxbug @SeaOfThieves I've tried solving my mic issue for two weeks now, trying different mics and different settings on the PC but the only one working is the one integrated in it and I'm too far from it to use it when i play...

  • Honeylla_ Honey (@Honeylla_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I did everything to get the cool mermaid curse and my game lag and didn’t give me anything :(

  • TuckerMorrow Tucker (@TuckerMorrow) reported

    @HaaveYouMetTim @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves The only problem here is that it would be easy to abuse. If I’m being chased I just trigger a tall tale and park in the blue spot. I’m sure they could find a work around to that though.

  • LeonSmith173 Leon Smith (@LeonSmith173) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Let me guess a 12 month contract so you dont have to pay benefits and then your games are broken because of it. Halo Infinite is a prime example

  • BenTenn80965799 BenTennyson (@BenTenn80965799) reported

    @KharjoJo @slinkyxbug @SeaOfThieves And the desktops are easier to trouble shoot than laptops in my humble opinion.

  • laurabumblebee Laura #mecfs #dysautonomia (@laurabumblebee) reported

    @Nordheim__ @limertilly @SeaOfThieves They already said Golden Sands will remain broken, and it'll be up to the community and how they play the Adventures as to whether it gets fixed or not. At least I'm pretty sure that's what they said will happen

  • JoseLHernandezJ Jose Hernandez (@JoseLHernandezJ) reported

    @Hitbotc @AlymonRaccoon @SeaOfThieves But thats the problem its not balanced, the skill ceiling is very different, people on Xbox for example have to do twice as much on a controller. The reality isnnot everyone is looking for a fight some just want to sail and enjoy the beautiful game.

  • Amillent Jaco (@Amillent) reported

    @prattymatty @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Oh yea shop combat is fine almost no issues hand to hand feels like a dice roll where the dice is weighted on all sides

  • ProjectSherry Project Sherry (@ProjectSherry) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves And part of the issue is that it's rarely ever a fair fight. It's ambushes, people pretending to be friendly, sword block bugging, bad hitreg, being outnumbered, chasing for hours, and there's no matchmaking so a total newbie can go against a crew of pirate legends

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @micromads Quit playing once I realized the devs don't care enough about ongoing server issues. It's been a problem for months and they continue to ignore the issue instead they focus on pushing out new content so they can add more MTX to The Emporium. Haven't heard any pressure on Azure...

  • popski2020 🅿🅾🅿🆂🅺🅸 (@popski2020) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves If you're prepared to grind for hours & hours on so many other things, you need to be ready to grind for just as long with PvP. The treasure isn't that precious really, is it? It's the bruising of egos. The problem might be, for many, that their experience ends in toxicity?

  • Nathan03023708 sloop4life (@Nathan03023708) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix bucket reg

  • KharjoJo Kharjo'Jo Miniatures (@KharjoJo) reported

    @BenTenn80965799 @slinkyxbug @SeaOfThieves Me neither but this god damn laptop have caused me a lot of troubles since I got it 6 years ago... Now that I have enought room in my house, I'll get a "real" PC. I'll build it myself to put exactly what I want inside so if something's not working I'll know why...

  • LpG_VeLoCiTy LpG_VeLoCiTy (@LpG_VeLoCiTy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please fix your PvP. Its broken. Also check for hackers/modders. Game is unplayable and it is literally one of my favorite games

  • ElectricKnight7 ElectricKnight (@ElectricKnight7) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves From some people's point of view, but not everyone's. We all know there are people that have had trouble with megs, skelly ships, krakens, and probably more. So, for them, that would still be a thrill (and, let's face it, experienced players would be less of a thrill for them).

  • LilBlkRabbit94 LilBlkRabbit94 (@LilBlkRabbit94) reported

    @SeaOfThieves yall need to fix the skeleton ship spawns because they are bugging!!!!!

  • ReddWanhedaGame uwu (@ReddWanhedaGame) reported

    Hi everyone! So for some reason my SoT isn’t loading up so I dunno if I’ll beable to play. Does anyone have any ideas to try and fix it? #SeaOfThieves

  • BenTenn80965799 BenTennyson (@BenTenn80965799) reported

    @KharjoJo @slinkyxbug @SeaOfThieves Thats really weird! I've never had that issue with my mics for my computer.

  • Grootey1 Grootey (@Grootey1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX HIT REG PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • rDillonKing Wolfpack Jedi (@rDillonKing) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the sword to it doesn’t clip into my pirates hand the entire time he’s holding it. The back of the handguard needs to go up, not down into my pirates arm.

  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @CarolinaStratt2 @SeaOfThieves I'm an Xbox user and I got on just fine. Might be something on your end? Try again in a few or drop Rare a support ticket with your issue.

  • taawli MnimTaawli (@taawli) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Emerald Crash. ******* Seafoam. Run Aground Chartreuse. “Omg, I can’t see anything out he-“ *smash*”

  • NickAndrewMann Mick Nann (@NickAndrewMann) reported

    @FrommelU @SeaOfThieves They could add more the the pirate legend end game, maybe give pirate legends something to work on separately at reapers for end game pvp content. I’ve been having no issues for the past couple years playing. Seems now though the game imo is getting a little stale.

  • frankcasillas50 Frank (@frankcasillas50) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I feel like im always lagging/rubber banding when I play. Hopefully the server hardware improvements are coming soon! 🤞🏼👍🏼 I love playing this game 😌

  • MadMaddie207 MJ (@MadMaddie207) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Sucks to say I've completely missed out here as my friend I play with has just been extremely busy and yesterday, the one day we could finally play together, my internet had a 5 hour outage meaning we couldn't do it... hope we can catch the next one

  • NerdPropellant NerdPropellant (@NerdPropellant) reported

    @AmbsLyn @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Also, using flags or turning cannons skyward can signal you aren't looking to fight as well. Hell, even using fireworks can signal you aren't out for PvP. My point here is that there are built-in game mechanics to alleviate a lot of the problems that most players ignore.
