-
ThatOneWidowmaker (@MaZu_iceTea) reported@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.

🥶Goozman👿 (@TheGoozman99) reported@Lotus_Koril @RobertByron23 @SeaOfThieves Still shouldnt fix something thats not broken
-
Sergio Jason Pina (@SergioJasonPina) reported@EvilMorpheus @SeaOfThieves Just tried again multiple times on PS5 only servers. Same issue. I times out with cinnamonbeard. I close the game and try again with no success. I open to crossplay, and I connect within minutes. Very frustrating.

shaun connaughton (@Valenbakura) reported@SeaOfThieves Anyone else playing on PS5 having issues getting in?

OphieIRL (@OphieIRL) reportedHey, so, no. You didn't listen for years. Your community management team didn't do their jobs. Fire the people who failed the commu ity. Stop this virtue signaling bullshit and prove you recognize the problems by removing the people responsible. #seaofthieves #rare

Falcon |-/ (@CptStepFalcon) reported@Kk123153210 @Giovann69642526 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, but this is not first not working update. They had more time, literally removed all the content from season 19 to makie this mode work and even moved it for a month later to release and it didnt work. Then, they release it again after more time and it has even more issues
-
Smoke (@SmokeBeardTV) reported@Psychobaker_24 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves i dont believe thats up to you or me to decide that, lets just wait for the company to address the problem publicly.
-
Golden Chaser (@ChaserGolden) reportedDamn, 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.

FJAZ (@_FJAZ) reported@SeaOfThieves Claimed all the twitch drops, but for some reason the gloves and belt does not show up in the game. Any fix for that?

almtychcknpoo (@AlmtyChcknPoo) reported@KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves No, you are right. None of us should be asking partners to stand down. I am allowed to choose whose content I want to support as a result. The problem is that these things have been going on for years at this point. It could have been prevented if Rare stepped in and stopped CM a long time ago. Rare is 100% accountable for who they have representing their game. CM are representatives. I ain't gonna force anyone to step down or take a stand, but if it appears that someone is trying to leverage a charity stream to boost their numbers and appear as a good person, for a charity that doesn't actively help OUR victims, I'm unfollowing them. If they are the least bit fake, I'm unfollowing. That's my choice and no ones gonna miss me around...so the decision is most likely mutual anyways. I absolutely do want to see a bigger push though and nothing is going to change without it. Hell, some streamers haven't mentioned it but they have been streaming other games lately...silently protesting already despite making a statement. Kudos to them.

Chaveiro (@chaveiro1234) reported@OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Yet another live service ******* it up, seems like a permanent trend
-
pxl (@Ge_oag) reported@SeaOfThieves Fixed the problem where Galeones could hourglass que against solo sloops?
-
Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported@Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves I would agree if the issue would be WITHIN the game, but this is OUTSIDE of the game mostly, on social channels. Again, cut-off people involved and close the discord server until things are solved. People that are responsible are mostly dangerous on these platforms.

Mert (@noravus) reportedIs the matchmaking for Last ship standing broken ? I cant find anything for past 30 minutes. multiple sessions stuck in waiting for other crews @SeaOfThieves

DaveyMetal (@BigDave813) reported@SeaOfThieves LAG BUGGY CRASH

kizu (@yk_kizu) reportedHuge W’s for SoT today, diving took out what was so special about this game’s experience. Pretty sure this game is marketed as a “shared world experience”. It is kind of insane how many people are complaining about this; ya’ll are the problem! #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate
-
Karminium (@Karminium_) reported@ManVsMiniatures @Rare @SeaOfThieves I mean... slurs are pretty mean, and The legit only problem with your hunt for pedos is that nobody's gonna believe you if you are just gonna accuse everyone of one. If slimeypigeon is one, then you were right, if not, you just slandered someone innocent for no reason.

𝔞𝔲𝔰𝔱𝔶 (@aaustyy24) reported@SeaOfThieves the absolute last thing you need to do is add a community vote you need to actually fix your games problems
-
darren hambrick (@Dreamur2000) reported@Fi1es @SeaOfThieves Awful just awful gutting the bone caller cause people whine to much about it is not the way to go keep it the same and force players to actually use a sword since it takes one good swing to get rid of the problem
-
jarbread (@jarbreadzz) reported@MissR3quiem @1blakei @SeaOfThieves they got a straight up **** as a highlighted community member and some other **** i think but the **** stuff is the main issue atm afaik

Copper🔜 SoTFest 2026 Panelist (@Coppertailwolf) reported@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.
-
The Dice Tell a Story (@DiceTellaStory) reported@SeaOfThieves Gonna be honest here, I ******* hate what you did with the doubloons. I didnt get to play the last weekenders so Im drastically behind because you decided to add fomo to it all. Im a die hard fan and even Im having trouble turning the game on.
-
Touch of Oblivion 🐀 (@TouchOfOblivion) reported@KBoldZiel @SeaOfThieves What a shocker, SoT released yet another THIRD OF A SEASON AFTER DELAYS and it's broken. Can't protect their community, can't code their game, can't do anything but dump more things into Emporium. This game used to be so much better.

Justmy2cents (@Justmy2cents11) reported@Ri58995851 @SeaOfThieves Ok my bad lol and to tell you the truth. I hate SoT. I will never play another live service game in my life cuz of them. I’m an achievement ***** so I gotta keep everything at 100%. This ****** game keeps forcing me back, wrong tree with that gagging on SoT **** stuff.
