  @RobertByron23 @SeaOfThieves If you cant get on a boat without bonecallers, that's a skill issue.

  @ToodleJerr3196 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Absolutely agree. Even with the actual game issues currently, I still have some hope for a future. But it's going to be very hard to trust Rare moving forward, and they are going to need to do some major work to gain player's trust back.

  It seems that #SeaOfThieves is bugged if you have more then one pirate. It keeps giving the wrong ships to different pirates. My 3rd has my guild ships, my 2nd has my 3rds ship, and my 1st has nothing. I don't know what caused this issue but I hope it can get solved.

  Custom Seas is going to be a lot of fun. It feels like it's been designed more with content creators in mind than the average player but I think most people will still get a good laugh out of it and create some memorable moments. The problem is that fun side content and seasonal content are not really the same thing. If this is supposed to help carry an entire Season alongside the occasional returning limited time event then it just is not enough by itself. Season 21 needs to land with some real weight behind it. Adventure Mode needs meaningful additions. New ships, new islands or even entirely new regions. Give players fresh reasons to explore the world and engage with the game in different ways. What we do not need is another couple of delivery missions wearing a fancy new outfit and pretending to be a major update. We have been sailing that particular route for quite a while now. #SeaOfThieves is at its best when it surprises people and gets the community genuinely excited to jump in and see what is new. It feels like it is time for that again. Anything less will mean terrible engagement.

  @SeaOfThieves your game is now trash and plagued by swarms of cheaters. I get you just ban them cause cheaters are happy to buy multiple copies of the game so its a + for your revenue, but how about just fixing the issue instead of being money hungry pigs that cover up pdf for a laugh,.

  @SeaOfThieves ****** Twitch Drops. Broken Doubloon Weekender. Free Emote that everyone already has, get more creative. Last Ship Standing will miss the mark again. New Emporium items stink. Pocket Lizard & Last Ship Standing music is good. They once again missed the mark.

  Damn, this #sotshot copying thing is a real epidemic huh? They hide behind the "there is no rule against it" and "people have the same ideas" quotes as well as the "I didn't see that shot" while later their dms are exposed of them thinking they have more SoT Clout than the original so it's fine. Can @SeaOfThieves just start making note of these people and groups who copy and steal? The community has plenty enough issues as it is already. BTW, attached is the original SotShot (from 3 weeks ago), and I hope the original creator reposts this shot and it rightfully wins over the copy this time if the judges find it fits the theme.

  @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.

  @Valor_Omega_SoT @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves In a way, I don't want to trust this particular team again. It's a huge letdown and disappointment especially being on the Stream Team and seeing how things "get done." They've dragged *** on too many things and now it's about being honest, open and direct about a serious issue.

  @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.

  @TheDruhMooreon @codeman25955 @SeaOfThieves Dude's out here spreading drama. Let the new players enjoy all the wonders SoT has to offer! Sure there's a cheater problem, but there's also ways around it ESPECIALLY for a new player. And updates haven't been the same, but that doesn't matter to a new player. Let them have fun.

  @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support @SoTCommunity i just wanna say to all the people reposting and spreading this thank you so much i can only imagine how many other players recieved false bans and automated support messages i just hope they fix whatever bug this is so it doesnt happen to anyone else

  @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 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.

  @Fi1es @SeaOfThieves Awful just awful gutting the bone caller cause people whine to much about it is not the way to go keep it the same and force players to actually use a sword since it takes one good swing to get rid of the problem

  Hey, so, no. You didn't listen for years. Your community management team didn't do their jobs. Fire the people who failed the commu ity. Stop this virtue signaling bullshit and prove you recognize the problems by removing the people responsible. #seaofthieves #rare

  @SeaOfThieves I understand you made you made your game specifically for Xbox, and pc. But the fact that you haven't coded for Mac OS is ridiculous. You have it coded for steam, SO FIX IT

  @MissusPeanut @SeaOfThieves It's fine to leave a hobby you no longer enjoy. It's also fine to enjoy it after having a break. If complaining about your hobby replaces your actual hobby, you have a problem. Finding a better hobby is the mature thing to do.

  @MurpheyLives @SeaOfThieves @Rare_Gamer This is the worst possible statement you could make. "Clear his name"??? It is OVER. There is nothing to clear. The best you could've done is apologizing for your poor judgment, but considering you were part of that disgusting joke a year ago, I guess you regret nothing. It's not a problem that people like that lose the community. The problem is that they did NOT lose it for the first obvious signs. Goodbye.

  Let’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
