  • Funny12boy David Simon (@Funny12boy) reported

    @JordanMeliani @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Ah yes fix my positioning when the hit registration in this game is awful, I can get hit by 6 of those 10 and still get one shot plus me being a distance away were the damage drop of is there but still get proceeded to get one shot

  • jaybraga_ Jay Braga (@jaybraga_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Well, who ******** cares about the fact we spent real money on this, right? Let's just put it for "free" anyways and not compensate players who already had it. That's obviously not a problem.

  • Legolube Chris (@Legolube) reported

    @BryceReid11 @SeaOfThieves @primegaming get better internet, not their issue.

  • DLorgeoux Dimitri Lorgeoux (@DLorgeoux) reported

    @martTM2 @SeaOfThieves @primegaming same problem

  • pepsiweed hambergurler (@pepsiweed) reported

    @AlexG_Oleg @purrps2001 @SeaOfThieves They can easily adjust difficult of those ships you must not have bin there in beta they can change spawn rate, accuracy, health it can be made just as difficult without having the zero pvp, at the least least could do same ship only servers to fix the 4 on 1 issues

  • Funny12boy David Simon (@Funny12boy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Fix the one blunders please they are so annoying and unpredictable

  • Krypton1cs Kryptonics (@Krypton1cs) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey, I am having trouble of getting the prime gaming set and I have linked my twitch and my amazon account and I do have prime and when I go to claim it is telling me to link my amazon account but I have already done it. Need Help!!!!

  • ZeroCoolPhD ZeroCoolPhD (@ZeroCoolPhD) reported

    @LDourire @Kxwan__ @SeaOfThieves Pvp is part of the game and it’s s not a problem, I love it. The problem is toxic players and you will find those in whatever you play. If you want a game without pvp then SoT is not for you, just play something else and don’t complain.

  • JordanMeliani Final Reckoning (@JordanMeliani) reported

    @Funny12boy @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Usually the first step people need to work on is the one they refuse to work on. Because outside of the few technical issues one game has, most of the time they are the problem, which they can’t admit. I have the same problems, I get one tap. We still rule most of the servers.

  • RobertBarnard24 Robert Barnard (@RobertBarnard24) reported

    @SeaOfThieves ive been playing your game for 2 years, you keep adding a bunch of content, but one thing you need to fix is the ******* knockback. Its literally the worst part of your game and makes it impossible to play by yourself when you get launched by 1 cannon ball. **** sot

  • emorkovin emorkovin (@emorkovin) reported

    @martTM2 @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Same problem

  • DonaldsonKeith keith donaldson (@DonaldsonKeith) reported

    @MmmCherryade @SeaOfThieves i agree. so sick of toxic arena players not letting me grind on my alliance server. rare needs to fix this

  • Dirant_9999 F12 🇪🇸🇨🇦 (@Dirant_9999) reported

    @halfwhitebigode @SeaOfThieves Easy fix: Make it so the ship can only be repared by someone of your crew/alliance. And regrouping with your crew at the Ferry should also help

  • halfwhitebigode Júlio (@halfwhitebigode) reported

    @Dirant_9999 @SeaOfThieves We tried regrouping, but first it was a 2x2 so even if we spawned together we wouldn't have the Numbers advantage. Secondly, they loading time was different for both of us, so a couple of seconds was enough to make this Impossible. Something that could somewhat fix this would be>

  • martTM2 martTM (@martTM2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @primegaming My account is linked, but the Prime Gaming site just shows a 'Link Account' button even though I'm logged in. So, that's not working. :(

  • 88_Anonymous_88 A̴̰̝̞̽̄͊͟ͅ (@88_Anonymous_88) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Your game is so heavily imbalanced lmao once you fix that then maybe people can actually do them.

  • AlexG_Oleg Alex Green (Oleg) (@AlexG_Oleg) reported

    @pepsiweed @purrps2001 @SeaOfThieves I thought I said the difficulty isn't the main issue here. But nvm, you're not gonna get it. No point debating for something your not gonna get anyways (because it's just not good game design to grant you that) Anyways, hope you find your fun in the game still.

  • GKubedt Gregg (@GKubedt) reported

    @wedafux @SeaOfThieves @primegaming Sounds like a pebcak error to me

  • FailingToComply OhForCryingOutLoud (@FailingToComply) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @primegaming I get: Oh dear! The Sea of Thieves website has encountered an error! Rest assured our web team are shouting at it and prodding it with cutlasses. Normal service will be resumed ASAP.

  • pepsiweed hambergurler (@pepsiweed) reported

    @AlexG_Oleg @purrps2001 @SeaOfThieves 1v4 there is no defending its run till they give up or fight then it's 1 fight and blocks while rest attack behind I would have problem with pvp if it was locked to same size ships like sloop only servers but there have to be a better way I work 6 days a week 10 hours a shift

  • benkoontz_9527 Ben (@benkoontz_9527) reported

    @SeaOfThieves for some reason the past 6 merchant scavenger hunt voyages i’ve done have been broken 4 of them the ship completely despawned and the other 2 my key wouldn’t work and yes it was the right shipwreck. please fix this

  • bdube30 Benjamin Dubé (@bdube30) reported

    @notweasyleave @Mr_Poodoo @SeaOfThieves I don't think so, Sea Of Thieves game design have always been to put everyone on the same level. This is why player do not have upgradable weapon and don't gain character improvement with levels. After, I understand it's not the same levels of inequalities, and not a big issue

  • wedafux Pedro Laurentino (@wedafux) reported

    @GKubedt @SeaOfThieves @primegaming indeed, what about all those "we're aware of issues", beard errors and sorry's we all know, are they funny memes too?

  • AndyPaulJohnson Andy Johnson (@AndyPaulJohnson) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Yea, this is kind of broken. I appreciate its a pirate game but now you can't do anything as you just get attacked by reapers all the time. Had 2 attack at the same time the other day, just takes all the fun out of it. Loved season 1 but this isn't working.

  • birdsurvivor1 Avian (@birdsurvivor1) reported

    @jaybraga_ @SeaOfThieves @primegaming ...So you want Compensation for an Item that you bought for real Money which other People that spent about the same amount of Money monthly on a Service are getting for free? Did I catch that right?

  • CaptainWolfi CaptainWolfi (@CaptainWolfi) reported

    To whoever kept killing us in @SeaOfThieves I hope your socks always fall where you have to pull your shoe off to fix it @silkygamer12 @TheAnnBanan

  • Mercuraz Mercuraz (@Mercuraz) reported

    @Burntlegs1 @XboxANZ @SeaOfThieves What kind of problem did you have with the service?

  • Coleslayz coleman// (@Coleslayz) reported

    I wish sea of thieves would work for me! I keep getting some weird error I look up the error online and it states it’s just server downtime or whatever, still down next day. I check official @SeaOfThieves website and Twitter and no word of this at all

  • HardwarePearl King Crimson (@HardwarePearl) reported

    @Coleslayz @SeaOfThieves Do you crash when you try join someone ?

  • Jrams307 Buck Dancer (@Jrams307) reported

    @TheRealSelbrede @SeaOfThieves @primegaming The game isn't inviting to new players. Go look around. New players get dumped on frequently and quit. The game has a problem.
