teddy (@fishttank) reported@SeaOfThieves will this fix the server lag?
-
LpG_VeLoCiTy (@LpG_VeLoCiTy) reported@SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Custom server is broken. You host a game and load in and 10 seconds in there is a connection error issue and you cant play custom seas. Please help. Regular adventure works no issues though.
-
Matt McKeown (@NicaDeamuS55) reported@SeaOfThieves With every update comes 100s of more bugs and exploits. But hey release new content good job on that. Oh wait the content is broken constantly. But wait you know what will fix broken content....? Wait for it.....more broken content. Absolutely trash you guys need new jobs
-
David Alexander (@IIIWolfShot) reported@SeaOfThieves Screw your content, fix the servers, safe seas is unplayable, constantly crashing, freezing and lagging
-
Astreaux (@astreauxnomical) reported@Whitney_2nd @SeaOfThieves This isn't the point. I still do shots for fun and to help others. The issue is that they're devaluing the time and effort of over 2500 people who have won in the past. That is the issue. If you can't comprehend that, idk what to tell you.
-
Chaveiro (@chaveiro1234) reported@OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Yet another live service ******* it up, seems like a permanent trend
-
B0NA (@xB0NAx) reported@CptStepFalcon @Lukitch59 @SeaOfThieves Devs can say whatever they want but practically Insider is just a beta test and not the definive version of the game. They don't know what it can be broken by adding/changing some things.

almtychcknpoo (@AlmtyChcknPoo) reported@KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves No, you are right. None of us should be asking partners to stand down. I am allowed to choose whose content I want to support as a result. The problem is that these things have been going on for years at this point. It could have been prevented if Rare stepped in and stopped CM a long time ago. Rare is 100% accountable for who they have representing their game. CM are representatives. I ain't gonna force anyone to step down or take a stand, but if it appears that someone is trying to leverage a charity stream to boost their numbers and appear as a good person, for a charity that doesn't actively help OUR victims, I'm unfollowing them. If they are the least bit fake, I'm unfollowing. That's my choice and no ones gonna miss me around...so the decision is most likely mutual anyways. I absolutely do want to see a bigger push though and nothing is going to change without it. Hell, some streamers haven't mentioned it but they have been streaming other games lately...silently protesting already despite making a statement. Kudos to them.

Amy (@molnaramy00) reported@Whitney_2nd @SeaOfThieves Yes they were? People who earn 10 wins AFTER this change will get them, while people who already earned 10 wins the hard way(no custom seas)will have to get 4 more. If you don't see whats the problem here I can't help you I'm afraid.
-
arditobn (@Giovann69642526) reported@SeaOfThieves Guys,but you really can't just end an event three days early because you released it in a broken state .You promise to restore the game to its former glory and I do see plenty of improvements, really a lot but I can't accept a mode that was already out coming back with issues.
-
Flair (@yo_flair) reported@SeaOfThieves Are you guys ever going to fix the fps teleport glitch, I’m sick of playing on 144fps when I could be playing on uncapped
-
jarbread (@jarbreadzz) reported@MissR3quiem @1blakei @SeaOfThieves they got a straight up **** as a highlighted community member and some other **** i think but the **** stuff is the main issue atm afaik
-
KingHotdogPig (@KingHotdogPig) reported@SeaOfThieves I genuinely can’t comprehend the thinking behind this. You’ve proven time and time again that you have no idea how to run a live service. Not everything needs to be reimagined just for the sake of changing it… Is critical thinking against Rare’s company policy or something?
-
video game player (@piratesail0r) reported@SeaOfThieves Ok, sounds good, but you have to fix your community management structure first.
-
OphieIRL (@OphieIRL) reportedHold Rare accountable. They won't do it themselves. Do not let this turn into a joke or a developer issue. A child was hurt because of Rare's continued lax approach to player safety. This kid needs us to step up, and those who don't are failing them. #Rare #seaofthieves

shaun john (@shaunjo57082499) reported@SeaOfThieves @MSCasualGames Your discord allows accounts with no mobile verification to join. Means someone can make a fresh untraceable account and do exactly what bruno did. Fix it fast.
-
Matt (@Sloopflex) reportedI don’t make a lot of comments about sot issues but it is truly baffling to me how much the SoT community is blowing up right now and Rare is staying silent and dodging it. Action needs to be taken. Do better @SeaOfThieves and you need to FIRE @j0toro

꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reportedLast ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 40+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.
-
SweetSandman (@SweetSandMan) reported@supermariopla11 @SeaOfThieves That's...that's not what's causing server performance to suck. Like at all. Preventing expansion of the game, maybe. But not server issues. If anything, high end PCs with uncapped FPS and/or max graphics cause more server strain. But even that isn't the underlying issue.
-
BarnOwlz (@ImBarnOwlz) reportedCan we get a blunderbuss revert or fix? I promise no one will be mad if you keep it at 90 damage and just revert the spread and range to the old blunder 🙏 @S0nicbob @SeaOfThieves
-
kizu! (@yk_kizu) reportedLet’s be real for one minute here. Putting hourglass in SEPARATE SERVERS is one of the easiest solutions to Sea of Thieves’ biggest problems: dead servers. By making this one change, alongside the removal of diving and raid voyages, players can guarantee that a ship they see at the start of a session will still be there even 20 minutes later, unless someone or something gets to them first. As of right now, if I were to join a server, see a Reaper, buy supplies, and go to hunt them down, there is an insanely high chance that said Reaper (or Guild) will be GONE by the time you start sailing. That’s just ridiculous. Get rid of diving, and separate hourglass from the main adventure servers, and see how it improves the livelihood of the seas. #savetheseas #seaofthieves #bemorepirate

ScuffedDuff (@ScuffedDuff) reported@CaptainGG_R @SeaOfThieves Like this clip also has a visual glitch, so a promising start!
-
TerMornétor (@TerMornetor) reported@SeaOfThieves do you know that you kick players for idling WHILE ACTIVELY BROWSING AND PURCHASING FROM SHOPS?! Just thought you’d want to fix the dumb bug😒
-
Lynnalia (@LynnaliaTV) reported@fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves Epic does it to "dogfood" their own engine, showing it off and also finding development issues. Considering their scale, that has massive value. Rare has no such incentive, especially when the game already runs so poorly.
-
Eric (@OitzE4) reported@SeaOfThieves Fix the fact that you play solo pvp and go against a brig it’s BS should be 1v1 nothing else
-
Defiant (@Defiantisdev) reported@SuperRegGuy @SeaOfThieves What glitch
-
FJAZ (@_FJAZ) reported@SeaOfThieves Claimed all the twitch drops, but for some reason the gloves and belt does not show up in the game. Any fix for that?
-
0riginalpiratematerial (@0riginalpirate1) reportedQuick warning if anyone gets asked to update obs dont do it if u use game capture totally ruined my settings won't display game had to rollback pc to fix as found no workaround other than desktop capture #twitch #obs #seaofthieves

Quimper (@Quimper) reported@AlmtyChcknPoo "We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well." - You are obsessed.

Master (@Lotus_Koril) reported@shanksy32 @SeaOfThieves Bonecalles were essentially a win button on solo sloopers and a huge problem on duo sloop. This has nothing to do with skill issue, they were just unbalanced, especially if you don't like playing the sword.
