  • JerseyDee22 Damon Heyer (@JerseyDee22) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can you fix all the bugs? Stop the hacking

  • TheYammyOfc Yammy (@TheYammyOfc) reported

    @IIMikezII @SeaOfThieves You're missing the point. I am choosing to grind the later trophies and cosmetics for my captains cabin out later. But the fact the rewards are TIERED is the crux of the issue. The BASE trophies should be far less of a grind IMO than the later ones.

  • CloverPurple clover (@CloverPurple) reported

    @SeaOfThieves ontop of that, 2500 PER FISH. Not fish type, per fish. 2500 Ruby Splashtails, 2500 Sunny Splashtails... for ALL fish. Rethink the numbers and fix this insanity.

  • DayKahDos ⭐️boy Saka (@DayKahDos) reported

    @DevilMayYeet @SeaOfThieves I would say it’s simply a skill issue, but it seems to be a bit more than just that. Sounds like your buddy has a losing mindset if he just gives up when things don’t go his way the first time trying something new 🥱

  • ttocs_yttam Matthew Scott (@ttocs_yttam) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’ve been experiencing this problem for a LONG time but just thought I’d give this a shot. Every time I load in to the game, none of my skins are equiped. I have to spend 5 mins every single time, walking around equipping my skins.. Please help, I needs fix haha

  • BetterBhvr BetterBHVR (@BetterBhvr) reported

    @TexasTanker1 @SeaOfThieves Yep and the solution is so obvious. Make it so ship milestones count for every crew member’s ship in the ship class being sailed if you own a ship of that class. They need to fix this. I’m taking a break from the game until they do.

  • ttocs_yttam Matthew Scott (@ttocs_yttam) reported

    @SeaOfThieves yo I’ve been having this problem for a real long time but and starting to get sick of just dealing with it. Whenever I load into a game, none of my skins are auto equipped. I have to waste 5 mins equipping everything, literally every single time I play. Pls help??

  • Archangelzak Archangelzak (@Archangelzak) reported

    @smiddlehurst @firevexx11 @SeaOfThieves Check to see if you have you gamertags or crew names off in the settings that might be the issue

  • Rathbaume Rathbaume (@Rathbaume) reported

    @AntonioZolina @SeaOfThieves You wanting to whiteknight a dev team who messed up and should be told so. DOES NOTHING to help the situation. They cant fix it if noone speaks up... IF you are ok with the situation as it is then leave the conversation and go back to grinding these ludicrous milestones....

  • Bas82571777 lastig mannetje 🇳🇱 (@Bas82571777) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Since I got shut down on the main suggestions forum ! Fix the issue with CHINESE HACKERS ! Your game only has complicated report systems ! Your game has no region selection. Chinese servers are out of controll Exclude taiwanese players from Chinese servers !

  • IAmThatch William Thatch (@IAmThatch) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why does the captaincy not transfer to the next crew mate joined when the original captain leaves? This seems poorly thought out if someone has a network error or has to leave to run an errand but rejoins the same session.

  • ChinaPadre Padres CCP (@ChinaPadre) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Maybe soon add a feature that if I crash/disconnect and if I rejoin (within a certain time period) I won’t loose my captaincy?

  • gd_renatozd GD Renatozd🐝 (@gd_renatozd) reported

    @NessTCat @SeaOfThieves That’s a fair argument but so far we have gotten no issues with that system

  • sleezyg sleezyg (@sleezyg) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I bought my sloop, and then paid to save my set-up. However after my 1st play session the only thing that saved was the sail, and the cannon effect. Is this a know problem? I don't want to pay 30,000 more in gold only for it not to save again.

  • Treefittytwo Monkey Monkey (@Treefittytwo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Trinkets are lagging the game. Please give us the ability to disable them. Also 6 ships?

  • lennaattor Lennaattor (@lennaattor) reported

    @SeaOfThieves just bought the game for 40€ and 5 out of 6 times i try to play i get kiwibeard error

  • EnemyBritBomber EnemyBritBomber (@EnemyBritBomber) reported

    @giacona_michael @SeaOfThieves The game tells you who the captain of said ship is. If they leave the ship reverts to an unnamed ship. But thanks for letting us know you're part of the problem by standing by and allowing the crime to happen and doing nothing about it. 👏👏🤡🤡

  • Krogbear30 Krogbear (@Krogbear30) reported

    @UltimateHakai1 @SeaOfThieves Same. I don’t want to have to waste my gold on saving the cosmetics I chose a second or third time when I’m trying to save gold for other things, so I hope they’ll fix it soon

  • MarioToo MarioToo (@MarioToo) reported

    @BrionnePerson @SeaOfThieves Yea, until you’ve had your entire ship reset multiple times. Then it’s 40,000 plus each time. I refuse to save anything else to my ship until they’ve fixed the issue.

  • Sykronic_ Sykronic ✨ (@Sykronic_) reported

    @Fare_Thee_Well_ @SeaOfThieves this new "feature" is so broken lol

  • PeterDragonforg Perer Dragonforge (@PeterDragonforg) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix it

  • diehard_live DieHard LIVE (DAD, Gamer, Streamer) (@diehard_live) reported

    really had it with the menu bug on PC @RareLtd on #SeaOfThieves making it REALLY hard to #BeMorePirate should not need a controller to open a barrel and back away to fix this...

  • willcraft13 Will (@willcraft13) reported

    @HeyItsAustin_ @SeaOfThieves @JoeNeate1 I dont think the backrounds are the problem “season seven” just sounds too boring. They should bring back the cool names

  • stordyr Stordyr Gaming (@stordyr) reported

    Peple will never be satisfied with anything. And those unhappy with everything in @SeaOfThieves will announce that the loudest. To counteract the screaming, I decided to issue a statement: I like the game I like season 7 I like PvE and PvP #BeMorePirate

  • XRayLexx XRayLexx (DTW) (@XRayLexx) reported

    Anyone else having issues with Gamechat since the update? Keep having to go Party Chat but I prefer Game Chat #SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support
