  @engine_think @SeaOfThieves I would think that the port should not be for trading, but the problem then would be, would any one go there if they can not trade there?

  @VKWolf1 @360memati @SeaOfThieves It appears that they are having issues and they are looking into it, but it should/will be there

  @ItzMino_ @SeaOfThieves Congrats, meanwhile, I’m paired with nothing but sweats and have to wait 10 mins for every match no matter what I queue for. This system is clearly broken.

  @haliax_l @SeaOfThieves Go for a quick snipe to the cannoneer. If it lands it gets you a few precious seconds of relief. Then I try to stop the spin. Bucket like mad, fix a hole, then see if I might be able to land another shot on the other sloop cannon. Just gotta try to lessen the pressure lil by lil

  Anybody else have the problem where they are getting to the champion streak status and then accidentally opting into fighting larger boats and not realising until you emerge from the water and there is a galleon ahead of you? No, just me? Okay. #seaofthieves

  @IllBushido305 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support At this point they need to improve matchmaking skill and if it’s an issue then just implement AI ships with an occasional player.

  @SeaOfThieves I got 288 days played and these match making times are making me think of quiting the game. I am wasting so much time. Please get us reapers vs reapers or athena vs athena this coming thursday. Its an easy fix.

  @360memati @VKWolf1 @SeaOfThieves I've been talking with the guys at Status Effect (the ones that have been running this event). It will be at Golden Sands, it's just not there because of an issue

  @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support If someone sees this and is experiencing the same issue I didn't read the small letters that are saying that new accounts are restricted from making new posts.

  @jasper_husky @SeaOfThieves The games pvp is fundamentally broken it's unbalanced and doesn't work properly 90% of the time anyone who says it's a skill issue doesn't understand the game at all.

  @SeaOfThieves Why are my captain supplies not working? It's really annoying... @SoT_Support

  @CptDazzen @SeaOfThieves I agree with you. Also, the cat in the Athena's hideout, was that Trouble from the Tales from the Sea of Thieves book?

  @Falcon59875668 @SeaOfThieves There's nothing wrong with the pve it's fine the way it is pvp is the issue.

  @ItzMino_ @SeaOfThieves I would play this update if the server didn’t go to **** every time a battle started. Constant lag every time I fight someone through this system so I just don’t bother with it

  @SeaOfThieves when are you going to fix people who just wait in an alliance?

  @UncleBuck2A @SeaOfThieves From what I remember, when I got the figure head, the stream went down for a bit, maybe that was the problem ?

  @SeaOfThieves The drops were an unmitigated mess. Please fix for next year.

  @StewFairthorne @SeaOfThieves I checked and it wasn't in any of the places people were saying plus the mods said they were working on a fix

  @SmithyBug @SeaOfThieves let me make it simple for you, how long has rare been promising us hit reg and black screen fixes? years? maybe 3? stop defending incompetent devs, the game has been put for like 6 years now? it has been an issue for that long and they haven't done anything about it.

  @SeaOfThieves The lore is cool, but you have to fix these queue times. Id rather fight the same faction who "is a traitor" than wait. This is the greatest update of all time and it's being ruined by waiting 45+ mins for a match, especially when it says "less than 1 minute."

  @LordClopax @ItzMino_ @SeaOfThieves I've often questioned cheaters in this game. But honestly, what is the ratio of cheaters? I find myself saying - some are just that good at this game. My only issue is that when I face them, the dominance I experience never allows me the opportunity to get better lol

  @SeaOfThieves 80% of the drops I watched DIDN'T erop for me. Complaint went to Customer relations and they blamed ME for it...saying I was AFK or something wrong with my account. Completely wrong. Total fob off. Disgusting customer service. Hey.. here's free stuff. But you ain't going to get

  @Breezzei @ItzMino_ @SeaOfThieves nah. as more players quit the game (because of cheaters) the problems concentrate itself (only the cheaters stick around) so your odds of playing with cheaters today, especially with a new PVP mode are greatly increased. wish it wasn't true. I loved this game.
