  • DarbyGlizzy DarkOrder#22 (@DarbyGlizzy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You guys didn’t fix the crash bug. I’m still crashing a lot. You guys wanna put any effort into the game at all? Besides the emporium. Y’all ain’t infinity ward or treyarch you got a long time to go before you start scamming the people who play your game

  • Jusey1z Salju (@Jusey1z) reported

    @Mr_PotterSauce @Captain_Falcore @SeaOfThieves Sadly no on both fronts right now. It's hard to play Sea of Thieves with the hitreg issues so strong right now.

  • Friendly_Firetv Jasper Blackwell (@Friendly_Firetv) reported

    @SeaOfThieves If the game doesn't crash...... IT'S NOT ENOUGH!

  • dark_pleasant Darkpleasant (@dark_pleasant) reported

    @asylumgc8 @SeaOfThieves I feel like this was totally an accident and now they're too embarrassed to fix it. KIDDING happy for you boo

  • ItsHeather2016 It's a Heather Thing (@ItsHeather2016) reported

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Aisperwin @JaydenRayes @SeaOfThieves 5 is pretty perfect tbh a few extra if you get hit reg issues or missing and any less would get annoying

  • JuniperRex 📸Juniper Rex📸 (@JuniperRex) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are the Sea of Thieves servers down now? I just got kicked from a server I was in and it's not letting me join any other servers because I can't connect to them.

  • Bigzy_ID Bigzy🚬🚬 (@Bigzy_ID) reported from Kasihan, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta

    @TheWeebExists @SeaOfThieves Your connection its the problem

  • scotsy Hazel 🏳️‍🌈 (@scotsy) reported

    I grinded, solo, for over an hour to do a fleet and fort. The server kicked me. I have no look. @SeaOfThieves plz fix Marblebeard... I was one level from Pirate Legend

  • DeltaBuschTv ∆Delta ∆ (@DeltaBuschTv) reported

    Here’s my problem. @SeaOfThieves is to repetitive to play anymore. @playrust is fun, but I need something more immersive. I might try @hell_let_loose more. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • FreebsTheTree Freebs The Tree (@FreebsTheTree) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey guys. Love love love the game but getting really bad lag on Series X. Driving me nuts and ruining my enjoyment. It comes and goes but when it takes 2 seconds to grab the wheel or take from a barrel and it's defo not the Internet, you got any fixes!?

  • _GhostAdmiral Ghost Admiral (@_GhostAdmiral) reported

    PIRATES! It appears the Sea Of Thieves servers are down, for some reason. Please remain calm, the dev team will be working to fix this ASAP. Complaining will not do anything (@SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support)

  • Prestom16 Mr. Lemons (@Prestom16) reported

    @ActivistGamer @HLariash @SeaOfThieves Ok? Is it hurting you do you in any way? I really don’t see a problem here.

  • ImIrrelevancy Intr84 (@ImIrrelevancy) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Are the servers down right now?

  • DJAndrews24 Dave Andrews (@DJAndrews24) reported

    @Dkblaaad @XboxSupport Skipped xbox one and went to PS4 and I can't ever remember an outage. Shame, was really getting into #SeaofThieves

  • ThisIsNotJFK Name cannot be blank (@ThisIsNotJFK) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I can't login ffs ! Please solve the issues

  • RealRandomEdits ethan 😝🤪 (@RealRandomEdits) reported

    @tormiline @SeaOfThieves The problem with this is that the cosmetics don't have different variants like in rl and they're not all plunder pass exclusive which would cause them to lose money as people would be receiving items that are from the pirate empourium. But yeah.

  • RealMrBadaBing MrBadaBing (@RealMrBadaBing) reported

    @WoodrowJenkins_ @SeaOfThieves Biggest problem I ever had was Audio setup with 2 PCs , your GoXLR solves everything!

  • Xenomor40696493 Xenomorph (@Xenomor40696493) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Xbox @GOSHCharity Is passive mode implemented yet ? I've tried 6 times to get into this game but the griefing is terrible. Its definitely 1 step forward and 3 steps back. I get my pirating fix from Assassins Creed Black Flag.

  • RSutty95 Reece (@RSutty95) reported

    @SeaOfThieves are the servers down again?

  • Cloudnine5000 IDK (@Cloudnine5000) reported

    @killzone1401 @ReulChris @SeaOfThieves thats the problem, no other event spawns up while he’s up so im forced to do it.

  • Zero_Demon_King Zero, Demon King (@Zero_Demon_King) reported

    @_Gnarrr_ @AbdullahAlkaa2i @SeaOfThieves what's funny is that I have never had a crash or anything like that happen to me so far on sot, the only things I've had are small lag spikes and that's it
