  • SlothyBearr SlothyBearr (@SlothyBearr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Question. Why cant we load onto our Captained ships??? It says: Couldn't load ships l. There was a problem loading your ship selection. Try again shortly

  • KuljitAthwal Kuljit (@KuljitAthwal) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support problem loading captain ships. Open and closed crew. Spawn in with a default ship even though Captain ship selected. Keep getting the "Captain has left" message. Bizarre. Xbox. #SeaOfThieves .

  • JBresina jaraldo (@JBresina) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so now our captain ships can't be found at all at times? I love this game so so much! Please fix it!

  • SnakeOfLordran Snake (@SnakeOfLordran) reported

    @SeaOfThieves add region based matchmaking to open crews, i'm tired of joining an open crew and being put in a server with 200 ping, and a crewmate speaking a DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. BUT FIRST, FIX THE DAMN SERVERS, and when i say "FIX" i don't mean "shut them down and go ******** for 3 hours".

  • D1PDIPOTATOCHIP DIPDIPOTATOCHIP 🇬🇷 🇬🇧 (@D1PDIPOTATOCHIP) reported

    @SeaOfThieves worst support ever, just raised a ticket as I cannot get into "My Ships" for captaincy on the Xbox Series X (keeps saying "Cannot load Ships" try again later, and sent a mindless PC trouble shooting guide on how to check malware and vpn. NOT IMPRESSED

  • ShalomDome Samuel Koontz (@ShalomDome) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your ******, faggy, laggy, gay, retarded, ****** of a game. How are you all this incompetent, it's unbelievable how bad you can make a game.

  • GardnerFilm Andrew Gardner (@GardnerFilm) reported

    @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves Really dude? The entire company and its social media team has to shut down over a tech issue you’re having? Relax.

  • swordenjoyer Mike #PvE (@swordenjoyer) reported

    @Truman_Crafts @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves The main issue with megalodons in Sea of Thieves is that they completely ruin the game's sense of immersion. Megalodons are massive, aggressive sharks that can easily kill players and destroy ships.

  • ShalomDome Samuel Koontz (@ShalomDome) reported

    So I spent 2 1/2 hours doing OOS, got to the sell point ... DC. #SeaOfThieves is a ******, retarded, broken game. ******* gay bullshit game

  • ItsTypeOne1 ItsTypeOne (@ItsTypeOne1) reported

    yo @SeaOfThieves whats going on, ships log not working, captains ships not loading then when they do when loaded in you get "captain has left the crew".. bugs be going crazy lately.

  • Taaaaamas Taaamas (@Taaaaamas) reported

    @IvyDicey @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Yeah, I heard some people had this same issue with the lantern. That got resolved in an update, just needing people to go interact with it again to collect it I believe. So hopefully that can be done the same here if people didn't properly get it.

  • ChaoticRapier Rapier (Chaotic neutral) (@ChaoticRapier) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey I just had an issue with captaincy. I got dropped out of my own ship and I now cannot rejoin my game. I happened to log off to try to relog. I think it's too late to save the session, but that's almost 5 hours of work... Is there a fix or is this a serious bug?

  • SnakeOfLordran Snake (@SnakeOfLordran) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey, how about you add region based matchmaking to open crews. Or fix the ship cosmetics not saving. Or bring the flameheart fleet world event back. Or fix the servers that've been broken since release. Or fix the galleon hull glitch (FOR REAL THIS TIME).

  • jason_letts97 Jason Letts (@jason_letts97) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your trash ******* game.
