  @SeaOfThieves @XBOX For ages I've tried to get a replacement or fix for my gold plated version of that gold hoarder tablet. I never got a reply from the responsible party.

  @SeaOfThieves In June? Wow, it is very hard to earn enough. I don't have a problem in theory (capping at 3 is sensible to avoid the same problem the reset had to fix), but I don't agree with the items being temporary stock as a result. Doing everything and a few emergent chests, I have 1500.

  @CaptainQuaa @SeaOfThieves Sadly , Shrouded ghost is gatekeep beside a RNG game mechanic and Spawn timer mechanic. Rarity is not the trouble , but how meg spawn is the main issue ... Arround 1h45 to get a single meg .... and only 0.02 % of chance to get the great one.

  @SeaOfThieves Please for the love of God, fix your buggy game. I've literally never experienced more game breaking bugs any other time than during bilgerats weekend.

  @SeaOfThieves can we actually fix our game before we implement new systems? Here I am trying to pvp and get better at pvp and I'm... 1.) Glitching though my boat? 2.) Grabbing the latter when I interact with anything in my ship that requires interaction? 3.) all of the above? 3.

  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.

  @FrostyRealLive @SeaOfThieves you don't know why i'm complaining. i love the game, day one player. It's just not needed, they should fix the game instead.

  I don’t make a lot of comments about sot issues but it is truly baffling to me how much the SoT community is blowing up right now and Rare is staying silent and dodging it. Action needs to be taken. Do better @SeaOfThieves and you need to FIRE @j0toro

  @SeaOfThieves Can you fix the hackers in hourglass or that disregarded while people get banned for actual **** all

  @MurpheyLives @SeaOfThieves @Rare_Gamer Not calling Murphey a **** btw nor am i gonna say he isnt. But when you clearly knew where **** was going, you are part of the problem expecially in a space where you have kids in.

  @SteezyyTommyy @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Maybe he should use his fingers to actually talk about the issues facing the community instead of grandstanding about “delete muh account” and farming moral applause. “Recent events” tells people absolutely nothing. Hope this helps!

  My last LSS match had 2 airborne boats & one that never surfaced. Emerging from under water looks cool, but seems to cause more issues in this game mode. @SeaOfThieves #SeaOfThieves

  @Lym0nade @RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Again you can keep bringing these " numbers " Idgaf, I don't believe 250k people did login last month, to play play SOT. I just don't see it, Windrose out? so many other games too, yeah this is bs numbers. Not to be mean, I just dont believe these made up numbers.

  Is it just me, or is everyone experiencing terrible frame drops in #SeaOfThieves lately? I have a pretty decent PC setup, but my frames are dying whenever I’m fighting a Burning Blade or completing Ashen Garrisons. The lag when opening barrels and crates seems to be back as well. Looking back at old game clips, it used to run smooth as butter. Will it ever feel that way again? @SoT_Support

  Blue Field Above (@BlueFieldAbove) reported 37 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Your problem wasn't the game. Your problem is you try to appeal to the whiniest of the player base who felt entitled to gold they hadn't stolen fairly. Now, ffs, I'll forgive it all if you spawn a Shrouded for me. 8k hours guys, like damn, I'm dying here.

  @SeaOfThieves your game is now trash and plagued by swarms of cheaters. I get you just ban them cause cheaters are happy to buy multiple copies of the game so its a + for your revenue, but how about just fixing the issue instead of being money hungry pigs that cover up pdf for a laugh,.

  @fraudatori @SeaOfThieves You're missing the point. If you have sea of thieves on game pass, do not login to the game and vote an emisary you're not on the ledger. I'm assuming you haven't played this month? Go to the ledger and look for your position, you won't be on there until you login and vote

  @romanticidexx @SeaOfThieves I have gigabit internet, so my internet isn't bad. And I'm not referring to rubberbanding. I'm referring to issues that literally affect ALL 4 PEOPLE ON A GALLEON, that a server hop typically fixes. Unfortunately, buggy servers is an almost 'every session' issue

  AboutSelphy (@AboutSelphy) reported 47 minutes ago

  Some @SeaOfThieves viewers/streamers really need a reality check on what cheating actually looks like. Watched a streamer get sniped 3x in an hour today. The fights were suspicious (insane air shots, constant mid-air hits, etc.), but the chat was screaming "cheater" for things that were easily debunked. Ladder speeds were normal on VOD, and "insta-kills" were just players not being full HP. It’s easy to lose cool live, but we have to analyze before we accuse. Grateful the streamer kept a level head. The REAL issue? Public sites still exist that track specific players and server ship counts. How is this still live after a months? Cloudflare should be handing over data for a lawsuit at this point. Hoping this reaches the right eyes. @ChappersChapman @S0nicbob

  @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.

  @Game7DS @SeaOfThieves Applying for partner would be so amazing. It’s unfortunate to see this disconnect block me from it. Hoping this is addressed!

  @SeaOfThieves The fact that the game is this old and you guys still can't figure out how to release an update says something about the dev team. If I was this bad at my job, I definitely wouldn't have 19 seasons to fix it

  Squidkiller8781 (@squidkiller8781) reported 53 minutes ago

  @AboutSelphy @SeaOfThieves because loss farming is a strat. As long as there are points awarded for losing, this is going to be an issue. To be clear, i think it IS an issue, loss farming. But your openly flexing on using an exploit to deprive people of something the devs think they deserve. Just stop.
