    @1Chenzo @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Over the past weekend or late last week. I think the rest of my crew could see him with no issue. We had already sunk them and my crew was coming back when this all happened

    @Pirate67591809 @SeaOfThieves Wouldn’t it be better to focus on bugs before adding a huge update which would inevitablymake the game even more broken

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Have you fixed the ******* game yet, instead of worrying about Twitch drops and making people play like the exploiters you support? Fix the damn servers and game bugs. Not your damn useless websites you mangy *****.

    @CpwbT @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Sounds like the Barrel Emote glitch. crazy. Perhaps not maliciously done, just happened by accident.

    @CpwbT @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd This looks like the Barrel hide glitch which has since been fixed... but this did happen

    @invinciblecat1 @SeaOfThieves I barely lag or dc in sea of thieves my connection is really good. I get messages like "hows cali" or "having fun?" Then I get booted a few moments later.

    @SpritetheFox @SeaOfThieves Steam or MS Store PC or xbox? And when you get this error is it launching the game or joining a session?

  • SynV03
    SynV03 (@SynV03) reported

    @SpritetheFox @1Chenzo @SeaOfThieves Has the same issue once. What fixed it for me was to disconnect my Microsoft from my steam account and then reconnect them. If I'll find the guide again which showed me then I'll link it in a reply.

    Hey @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the Insider forums, I was going to submit a ticket but when I press 'Submit' on the ticket page the webpage just refreshes. Some help would be appreciated.

    @ShoSheepy @SeaOfThieves From a genuine place of curiosity, how are first person games inaccessible to you? And is there a way to fix it? Do you need 3rd person? TIA.

    @BuLLiX_NL @CaptOvercast @SeaOfThieves excuse me, he hasn't blocked me ye. but he has hidden all my replies discussing the issue

    @T10GOLDENGaming @SeaOfThieves I'm not one for PvE servers myself, but it blows my mind ppl have a problem with what other ppl what in a video game.

    @Moneypepper1 @SeaOfThieves People rarely DDoS in this game. You probably had a bad connection.

    @semiautomAqua @KeelhauledPod @SeaOfThieves I’ve found it to be very little work getting well into the top tier - I don’t think alliance servers are really a problem for that. I think new pirates just don’t understand emissaries still...

  • Blakely_212
    Blake Whisman (@Blakely_212) reported

    @SeaOfThieves My session went awful with all of the bugs I'm probably gonna hit pl and be done with it for awhile until you can fix the major bugs because it still feels like beta I'm sorry to say but it's true.

    Hey @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support With the forums down for maintenance, how do I submit my findings for a verifiable bug/glitch as it pertains to breakage during a tall tale?

    @SeaOfThieves Thats cool but can you guys fix your damn game im tired of losing because the game is not working properly

    @solarlunar34 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Seems like it's being hacked. They just recently completed a maintenance then suddenly this issue popped up. I hope they warn us in time if that's the case

  • SpritetheFox
    L.J.D. Millar (@SpritetheFox) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Okay, so for the last week now I haven’t been able to play SoT. It says “Services are temporarily unavailable.” But since updates keep coming on the Twitter, I assume no one else has this problem. Any ideas on how I might fix this so I can resume fishing Ancientscales?

    Hi @SeaOfThieves I was going to claim the new Amazon Prime drop but it's saying it's unavailable, is the site having issues?

    @1Chenzo @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Oh I highly doubt this was a malicious cheating but instead it was just a funny glitch
