    @SeaOfThieves is there a glitch or something going on with "Battling for the Revenge of the Silver Blade" with no ammo and food on the ship right when the battle begins.

  • LilVintage666 Lil Vintage (@LilVintage666) reported

  • TheSimonHaug Simon Haug (@TheSimonHaug) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix the new tall tales god damn

  • EarlTheDwarf15 💕Adventure is Out There💕 (@EarlTheDwarf15) reported

    @Saraivito @SeaOfThieves We had to stop and quit because one of the quest items wouldn’t work and then disappeared when we dropped it. I keep not being able to switch weapons and drop items as needed. It’s very frustrating. Maybe if people keep tagging them they’ll fix it @SeaOfThieves

  • Captain_Corpse0 Decompose (@Captain_Corpse0) reported

    @Elulavia @SeaOfThieves You are part of the problem we are all addressing. This tall tale does not need to be hindered by toxic players killing one another to impede process just for the sake of being first or being an *******.

  • yabadadou Yabadadou (@yabadadou) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I hate browsing through your social media posts to see people ragging on all the bugs and issues there currently is in the game. Im sure you guys are trying to fix these issues, but maybe consider a post saying “we’re aware and working to resolve”? Would help moral.

  • KyanBerce Kyan Berce (@KyanBerce) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix ur game I just stacked 5 Fotd n glitched through ship and so did everyone in server u talk about the new tall tale. How bout you fix the bugs I have over 80 days on game and after today I just officially uninstalled this glitchy game

  • KyanBerce Kyan Berce (@KyanBerce) reported

    @SeaOfThieves My whole server got glitched after I stacked 5 fort of the damns. We glitched through our ship. I just uninstalled a game that I have over 90 days on . Fix your bugs and glitches before you add a new tall tale.

  • Bigdale95 Dale Desmond (@Bigdale95) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support we need an update so the doors don’t glitch in the pirates stuff.

  • You_Got_Worms Terry Timber and the Termites (@You_Got_Worms) reported

    No wonder Sea of Thieves: A pirates Life came out so soon. Its an unfinished broken mess. Literally cannot even complete the first tall tail because it keeps crashing for my gf and can't see any npcs. My friend can't even open the game. Actually unplayable. #SeaOfThieves

  • DarthCinema Darth Cinema (@DarthCinema) reported

    Can @SeaOfThieves not crash every 10 minutes into the Pirates Life Campaign?

  • noah_wendt Noah Wendt (@noah_wendt) reported

    @SeaOfThieves, it is pathetic that I have now tried to do "The Sunken Pearl" tale now 5 times with no luck. It has broken every single time. Don't release an update if it doesn't work. Thank you!

  • bigbootyreup jack | #FreeBritney (@bigbootyreup) reported

    .@SeaOfThieves i literally want to cry i was like half way through and i coulndt do anything to fix it i hate yall

  • narillan 🍃Narillan🍃 (@narillan) reported

    Disappointing end to attempting tale 2 of the new patch for @SeaOfThieves . It was so broken & glitched we couldn't continue on one attempt, next attempt looked hopeful, then it glitched again & wouldn't let us past after the statues. Hopefully we can get a working one tomorrow.

  • RicanPradaG Rican Prada G (@RicanPradaG) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix this bug in the pirates life! Plus aren't we supposed to have jack with us at all times

  • EarlTheDwarf15 💕Adventure is Out There💕 (@EarlTheDwarf15) reported

    @Saraivito @SeaOfThieves We finally gave up after 2 more attempts. I'm worn out and over it. Gonna wait for the dang fix

  • Jimmy17073322 Jimmy (@Jimmy17073322) reported

    @SeaOfThieves there is a glitch where players fall through their ship and lose everything and I felt like you should be informed

  • EastwoodIT Eastwood (@EastwoodIT) reported

    @PunkL @SeaOfThieves Yes, it can glitch out. You are forced to use your guns..

  • ToastyGamesTV IFoundSomeToast (@ToastyGamesTV) reported

    Been sitting at the door for the next section of chapter 2 after "wounding" the daughter... Why can't I move on @RareLtd? #SeaOfThieves #broken

  • ParanormalDrake Damian Drake (@ParanormalDrake) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I can't play the game. I just keep getting the Obsidianbeard error.

  • TheGameCleric ✨The Game Cleric✨ (@TheGameCleric) reported

    It is a major #accessibility issue in a game when you don't have PVE servers and a not precise combat system and players who sit in a spot to snipe other players. @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves @Xbox This really needs to change in SoT ASAP. #gamingforall

  • Squagzilla1221 Rick Sgalia (@Squagzilla1221) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How about a PVE server so we can stop having issues with tall tales

  • Chr5_ 크리스 👁‍🗨 (@Chr5_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why did you guys not think about separating player's instances of the Tall Tales? I have spent the last 2 days on stream trying to complete CHAPTER 2! But we literally can't since some other players run ahead and get us stuck. Please fix it!

  • Garetbatton zer0-_-Spidey (@Garetbatton) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I got on for the first time in awhile, tried to get on my ship but then I glitched straight through it and couldn’t get on it at all. Any one else haveing this issue.

  • controIIerdrift controllerdrifter (@controIIerdrift) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the sunken pearl tall tale

  • ColesKallum Miner1249 (@ColesKallum) reported

    @ReyeneCMDE @SeaOfThieves I had a glitch with the first puzzle where you have to move the mermaid statues into position for the song, we figured out why it was glitched, it was because someone was just there and the room hadn’t reset properly so we hopped servers and found one empty

  • inspirekyleigh ky. (@inspirekyleigh) reported

    @Dakota_Stewart1 @SeaOfThieves Ran into that issue today! 😪

  • mediarz mediar (@mediarz) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves is there a bug that would cause the game to flicker to black with FreeSync enabled? HP 25X Monitor w/ FreeSync enabled, RTX 3070. Not experiencing this issue with Escape from Tarkov.

  • RealDruOrFalse 🔴LIVE NOW - DruOrFalse (@RealDruOrFalse) reported

    Hi @SeaOfThieves, I really like your new season and the Pirate's Life content! But please, for the sale of my blood pressure, the disconnect glitches needs to be fixed. Also, while I like longer quests, the game would benefit from a little guidance as to next steps at times.
