  @SeaOfThieves Gonna be honest here, I ******* hate what you did with the doubloons. I didnt get to play the last weekenders so Im drastically behind because you decided to add fomo to it all. Im a die hard fan and even Im having trouble turning the game on.

  @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.

  @HitboTC @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I still think the devs care. It’s whoever is managing the teams, leading rare, their marketing, and the CMs that are driving it into the ground. Devs could be more competent, but I suspect issues with tech debt, budget, resource allocation and lack of direction to be the culprit

  @SeaOfThieves •“After besting their rivals to become the Last Ship Standing, winners are now given additional time to collect their spoils and head to the final portal.” Nope this is not working still, I didn’t get time to turn the ship to harpoon the flag before I got transported back!

  @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.

  @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves I don’t think it’s a lack of content that’s the issue. But I do think perhaps if they’d left their game alone to focus on performance and SoT 2 long ago we’d be in a better position.

  @SeaOfThieves Still a broken game. Go figure.

  @SeaOfThieves The more supplies a ship has, the slower it should go. For example, if a loaded sloop has 200 cannonballs (plus all other supplies) it should sail slower than a sloop that just spawned with basic supplies. This would help prevent so many issues!!! #seaofthieves

  Can 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

  matchmaking takes forever, flags disappear after diving back after a win before going thru the portal, masts glitch if you dont repair them, half the boats dont count toward streaks like wtf is this buggy mess i just want to play dollar tree arena in peace @SeaOfThieves

  @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.

  @AboutSelphy @SeaOfThieves because loss farming is a strat. As long as there are points awarded for losing, this is going to be an issue. To be clear, i think it IS an issue, loss farming. But your openly flexing on using an exploit to deprive people of something the devs think they deserve. Just stop.

  @SeaOfThieves Stop pushing the problems away Rare, you guys are making it so much worse for urself

  @BocaG @Christi19879853 @SeaOfThieves It would literally hurt no one to make safer seas the full experience or just having private severs. They say its PvP game but the PvP aspect is whats the problem. Outside of janky hit boxes, there's no natural progress in skill when it comes to PVP. Thr gap is huge.

  @Valor_Omega_SoT @SeaOfThieves It is simply not acceptable that it happened .. and with past issues its clear, the system has to change

  @SeaOfThieves Did yall patch the new glitch that lets players get infinite levels on HG?

  Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reported 42 minutes ago

  The bug where you "Can't Grab" crates seems to exist in the Weekender Doubloon Run Voyage. If you can't grab the cargo.. Buying a captaincy item OR merchant supply crate SOMETIMES fixes the issue.. Not guaranteed every time unfortunately... The issue seems CONSISTENT at Crescent Isle specifically. Not sure if Plunder has issues or not and maybe got lucky. Hope the intel helps others! @Seaofthieves #SeaofThieves

  Last 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.

  @SeaOfThieves just spent 60+ million gold on random cosmetics ill never use just to make gold feel important again. admittedly, it did make gold/loot feel more important again, but gold might not be the problem, the things to spend gold on might be.

  @shenanigoon @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I truly hope so. It's so disheartening to see everything that's happened. Nevermind the lack of trust from the current game issues, this happening has been a major black spot on this game/studio. I still have a sliver of hope left, but frankly I am not holding my breath.

  @EqualTree3 @SeaOfThieves Their event last week, the pop up plunder..... Didn't even work. So extending, or retrying is futile. They have no clue what they're doing. That's a fact. No amount of extending will fix it.

  @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd This game has become nothing more than a broken beta test. Absolute trash, unplayable.

  @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves I'm not saying they handle everything correctly right now, but that's just how companies work. Also, putting "their people" on public prangers could get them into legal issues too, which might be the main reason for them to do it "behind the scenes" in the first place.

  @fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves I think Sea of Thieves has bigger problems right now than the engine it runs on

  @KingHotdogPig @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Changing your profile picture and adding Star Citizen as a replacement game for Sot, hahaha. No one said Sot's conditions are great; in fact, S20 and up should have zero errors. But it doesn't do you credit to behave like this.

  @aDreamingNomad @SuperRegGuy @SeaOfThieves ...so long that I used PayPal refund service as the eligibility was running out (and you could literally no longer contact the store).

  @SeaOfThieves I would go back to playing this game on Steam, But I have to sign in to my Xbox Account to play it and I can't be bothered. That though my Gmail Account. So I might as well get this game for my Xbox Console (Series X) with a different account.
