    @SimbaYoyo @SeaOfThieves Yep no problems on the series s at all and I know what you're talking about everything renders in fine no lag no black screens for long stupid times. You need to upgrade.

    @DIDDY_DUMS @SeaOfThieves A sea of thieves developer said it was a “Bug” and they’re finding a fix for it

  • dweller_bog BogDweller (@dweller_bog) reported

    Just queued for 40 minutes in #SeaOfThieves but the queue time said it would only take 1-2 minutes. Anyone else have this problem? Is this actually normal?

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves "No, it's more important to take care of existing users than new users." New users are less than half of existing users." There is an error in what you say. The problem is that there are more PvE users, but not just new users, but even existing users.

    2. @SeaOfThieves please tell us what the specifics of the MMR is, because it's obviously not win/loss ratio at least from what i've seen, or it's just broken. I've gone up against the same team 3 times in a row once this season already

  • beeeeee39722115 TheUnfunnyMeme (@beeeeee39722115) reported

    season 8 is pretty good so far but one big problem everyone has is that you have to buy supplies every time @SeaOfThieves pls fix this some how

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves "No! I don't want all the workers to take it!" So the reason why it's not working is because you want to monopolize it? Just in the game? "SoT is my life!!!!!!!" Your life is about making money and living for your family. SoT is a hobby. Get ******** up

  • Snackbarry1 🍟 Snackbarry 🍔 (@Snackbarry1) reported

    We got a lot to talk about on our journey on the #SeaOfThieves today. Aside of the pvp madness I hope to take part in. For example why wasn't I live yesterday, did I succeed in getting my money back, why are customer service jobs so **** and ofcourse alot more.

    @SeaOfThieves Matchmaking during more than 30 minutes or not founding figths, this is breaking att. pls fix

  • SadBarnacleBoy Sad Barnacle Boy (@SadBarnacleBoy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves **** YOUR GAME. 4 years the game has been out and your servers are still garbage and hit reg is still broken

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves They keep repeating the same thing until the end of the world like a broken radio, "Oh! PvP is fun. You can achieve it if you try a little harder!" Really? I calculated how much time it would take to play by myself "No, it's not bad"" It takes more than two months, "It's worth it

    @SeaOfThieves **** YOUR BROKEN GAME. 4 years the game has been out and your servers are garbage and hit reg is still broken

  • formulademon Formulademon (@formulademon) reported

    @highonhawaii @SeaOfThieves 😮 what?!?! I was just gonna check after getting home, I haven’t heard anything or even saw a post addressing issues. And you’d think that Black Friday deals would actually go through “Friday” at least till Friday ends in the different parts of the world

  • CynicalSly SLY (@CynicalSly) reported

    @ThePapacita @SeaOfThieves same. cant load into a match. got about 5 in since launch. I've uninstalled reinstalled. its deff on there side. seen a bunch of streamers have the same issue. its just broken. fun while it lasted

  • Tim_Static Tim Static™ (@Tim_Static) reported

    Any other #SeaOfThieves players having issues w/ season/battle pass progression notifications? Ive now made 2 reports as i haven't gotten a single on screen notif during gameplay for any sort of progress that goes to renown progression since S7 began. I want 2 see if anyone [1/2]

  • Itsyaboybobii BoSSA NoVA (@Itsyaboybobii) reported

    @iServerHop @SeaOfThieves I don't have issues getting into matches. the most I've spent waiting is maybe 5 minutes at most. and if you're playing 16 hours a day, that's a different issue

  • TJerikko theRealJerikko Twitch Affiliate (@TJerikko) reported

    @jaketheeemuss @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves The issue I am having as well. I turned on event never was attacked, Dove under the sea twice, both almost a 15 minute wait for a 1-2 minute que.

  • Ninja_Naranja_ Ninja Naranja (@Ninja_Naranja_) reported

    @Dalran_AQ3D @SeaOfThieves Lmao, our naval was not the issue.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Even if SoT changes Season 8 in the future, the problem is not solved, so once trust is lost, it will be difficult to recover. Perhaps the internal staff knows that only PVE content has been released because the Arena has been ruined It's absolutely irrecoverable because

  • CaptainJack1230 Captain Jack (@CaptainJack1230) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else have an issue where ancient veil mission will say veil failed then all loot disappears whether it's veil loot or not? The bugs in this game just keep getting worse and worse every update....

  • foomongus Nathan Conn (@foomongus) reported

    @Ninja_Naranja_ @SeaOfThieves Here is how I found to fight these, get behind them, even from a distance, eventually they will turn, turn with them, you will close distance, try and get some chainshots or boarding. My idea for a fix is to have the circle very slowly close in

  • RaginCajun928 RaginCajun928 (@RaginCajun928) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I have a fix to make this update work with the current population and queue times. Allow xp on any ship PL / Reaper while traversing the sandbox. Any player ship (Athena) gets rep for sinking reaper seen on site and same goes for reaper. Waited over 2 hours and no one invaded.

  • SeaDogOrca Orca Singh (On a search for my husband) (@SeaDogOrca) reported

    Still baffled about those folks defending the exploit as a “strategy”. Poor excuse. Yeah I said some cruel things,very heated from that moment. All I hope is Rare to fix it,so this doesn’t happens again. End of story. #SeaOfThieves

  • Kharjo19 Kharjo (@Kharjo19) reported

    Is anybody else having matchmaking issues in the new #SeaOfThieves #Season8 update? We sailed for hours without anybody invading us. We we're able to invade 1 ship and then no fights after.

  • ian_v76 Ian_v76 (@ian_v76) reported

    @formulademon @SeaOfThieves I put in a ticket earlier, got this back: Our Test team is aware of this issue and are working on a solution. We hope to resolve this in a future update. Thank you for your report!

  • moonk4t K4T ༊*· (@moonk4t) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey fix your stuff so that when someone is in a pvp match other people can’t intrude. 3 ships vs 1 is super unfair. they shouldn’t be allowed in the ring.

  • evermore1970 scott (@evermore1970) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR GAME!! I SHOULDN'T BE BLACK SCREENED FOR 5 MINS THEN LOSE MY SHIP!! Every update you manage to screw something else up

  • mellamoreberto Liam Finley (@mellamoreberto) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I sold a good amount of loot while my hourglass was active, and no coin was ever added. I thought maybe give it a few hours and maybe I'd get it later after getting back on and still nothing. Is this how it is intended to work or is there a glitch?

  • Salsop61 X01Q (@Salsop61) reported

    Lagging and spawning on a sloop with no cannons anyone els got that problem @SeaOfThieves

  • Recon777_ Recon (@Recon777_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @keeyaaaa @residentveg Hey guys there are some issues that need to be fixed. At full health a cannon ball shouldn’t kill u in one hit while doing PvP on demand. Blunder bombs are way over powered. Wait times while on Athena faction takes to long to find a match.
