  • DMaxor1991 DarthMaxor (@DMaxor1991) reported

    I really don't mind sinking to people better than me. What gets me frustrated is when I sink to people because of these random 200+ ping servers , hit reg and prompting bugs. Yea, that **** stings. Hoping the next patch fixes a few of these issues. #seaofthieves

  • EGGamer_ 🏳️‍🌈 EG - Iñigo Zulueta (@EGGamer_) reported

    @Morcath @SeaOfThieves Totally agree. Translation quality has been an issue in the game for a long time, and it's a shame because back when the game launched, the translation was exceptional, mostly on riddles and those places where clever translations were made

  • IrayaTheCool Iraya the Cool 🐀 (@IrayaTheCool) reported

    @RabbitsShadow @SeaOfThieves yup, The Legendary Ill-Fated Drowning Rat actually pretty easy to get with a sloop. just let it fill up with water until it's at the 2nd set of stairs, fix the holes and set the deck on fire. it'll just keep burning and never sink, so long as nothing else happens to it lol

  • TsizzleGaming DG T-Sizzle (@TsizzleGaming) reported

    So tonight will be Sea of Thieves unless something changes, and I AM looking for up to three people to join me and do either voyages or sail with reapers emissary to cause some trouble. Whatever the group decides on! Comment below if interested. 11:30 EST. #SeaOfThieves #gaming

  • Thornbush42 Thorny 🇺🇦 (@Thornbush42) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I've seen the whole of a server lag like mad after sinking a ship that had only loot obtained from the skeleton fleets on it. Makes me wonder what would happen if that loot-filled ship sunk. Server crash?

  • Detox1993 Detox (@Detox1993) reported

    The one thing @RareLtd and @SeaOfThieves need to sort out is the constant hacking problem they have

  • SadBarnacleBoy Sad Barnacle Boy (@SadBarnacleBoy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your trash servers. Your game sucks

  • XxCrOwXx66 Chris Granger (@XxCrOwXx66) reported

    @Vupzy @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves How is it a skill issue? If you are constantly winning using the same method it’s going to get boring. It’s the same gameplay loop, shoot mast with chain shot followed with launching a to their deck to drop anchor and proceed to spawn lock them until you sink their ship.

  • LEGION1TE LEGION1TE (@LEGION1TE) reported

    @Codyfromnextdor @SeaOfThieves a fix is coming

  • ClearPudle20 ClearPudle20 (@ClearPudle20) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I saw this one guy one time glitch his boat so bad that it was slingshotting into the sky higher and higher every 3 seconds. It was majestic.

  • SamuelCFord1017 Captain Outlaw the Courageous (Samuel Carson Ford) (@SamuelCFord1017) reported

    @Theognicv @SeaOfThieves Unpopular Opinion: I really don't have a problem with this. When someone dives down for PVP, they should expect ANYTHING on the other side: whether that is one ship, multiple ships, or additional PVE threats (Ex. Kraken attacking Other Player Ship). No Guts, No Glory I say.

  • myweeweetinybro Real Googs (@myweeweetinybro) reported

    @HobeJoshua @SeaOfThieves Things from way before then are still broken bud. All I am say is get used to it, as it will stay this way for a long time.

  • ChillliBomb ChilliBomb (@ChillliBomb) reported

    @Kam3l0t @SeaOfThieves Alright yeah... these are legitimate complaints.. however may I ask. What are rare supposed to do in this situation?? They are simply the developers of SoT, there is nothing they can do. If you want to ask someone to fix it, ask Xbox & Microsoft, not Rare

  • Cryptoneers_ 𓂀Cryptoneers𓂀 (@Cryptoneers_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves What's the Code to enter? Youtube Videos I gabe seen not working. Anf yes, I am from EU.

  • TheUnholyLoner Brian G (@TheUnholyLoner) reported

    @fluxingeneral @SeaOfThieves Everything I said is true. 100% truth. How is not playing a game that doesn't work as intended stupid? I'm more forgiving and still play regardless. But SoT hit reg has been an issue since day one. And they just meme about it in the patch notes.

  • TheEmperorWayne TheEmperorWayne (@TheEmperorWayne) reported

    @GoldenSandsbox @Marquizzles @SeaOfThieves What's your ****ing problem?! I'm jhst trying to fish in peace.

  • Kam3l0t Naiom Kamel (@Kam3l0t) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Y’all need to address the Oreo ship set release and how completely botched it’s been. People over exploiting it to where nobody gets codes emailed and rather their now getting SCALPED BACK TO US FOR HUNDREDS. A FREE skin mind you. Shouldn’t be able to be cheesed. Fix this RARE.

  • HighTideJim High Tide Jim (@HighTideJim) reported

    @jonathancoe113 @SeaOfThieves Daily firelighter has trouble with fire? ............. I decree this a conspiracy

  • HobeJoshua Joshua Hobé (@HobeJoshua) reported

    @myweeweetinybro @SeaOfThieves So we gotta get used to lazy devs with a broken game?

  • ChillliBomb ChilliBomb (@ChillliBomb) reported

    @BladeRoninn @SeaOfThieves If the PvP is what is killing the game sometimes, then I honestly suggest you start to learn how to PvP in this game, it sounds counter intuitive, but the issue you are having is simply a skill issue: "I don't want PvP cause I get sunk and lose my loot"

  • JDR_thats_me JDR (@JDR_thats_me) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I'm not receiving Gold, Rep or Allegiance at the moment. Any known issues or anything I can do?

  • Drewdactyl Drewdactyl (@Drewdactyl) reported

    @SavvySinks @SeaOfThieves Skull issue, clearly

  • snakeofficialyt Snake Official (@snakeofficialyt) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves They did "fix" it tho I thought?

  • iWarrened_You Warren Wymore (@iWarrened_You) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your servers. I play on pc servers because I can’t find a game on PvP and I still wait a million years just to find a game

  • Shanick92 Shanick Redbeard (@Shanick92) reported

    @Morcath @SeaOfThieves So true with the translations. It was bad for years for simple wordings in Germany but now the last adventure was unsolvable thanks to translation. They even reverted back to the errors months after i placed a support ticket and let them fix this.

  • allhound Sebastian Domain (@allhound) reported

    Unfortunately, at the moment I can't help anyone to get a code for the #SeaOfThieves ship set for the Oreo/Xbox promotion. There are currently problems and I am no longer receiving any codes via email. stay tuned

  • itsmikewoods Karbined (@itsmikewoods) reported

    Took a week off @SeaOfThieves, and third game back Spawn into a reaper alliance server at reaper's Hide-Out as a solo sloop, and the other solo sloop had a curse. Yet, he was hot trash. How on earth can people be able to do that so frequently they can unlock a curse!? FIX PLEASE!

  • FrankCaliberz Franky Caliberz (@FrankCaliberz) reported

    **** i wanna play #SeaOfThieves unfortunately they have the worst of the worse when it comes to audio...I have my headset on open mic and i constantly am hearing "Hey turn that down" i dont have any of these problems with any other game by why this one?

  • Equaldime Equaldime (@Equaldime) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix ur game.

  • SkivvyHoncho SkivvyHoncho (@SkivvyHoncho) reported

    @SavvySinks @SeaOfThieves It's vindicating to hear players FINALLY admitted to the problem. I've been told to stfu and pipe down when I was pointing this out years ago. I said it would completely kill off the game.
