  • MrsPabl0 MrsPabl0 (@MrsPabl0) reported

    Thanks to @BehavingBeardly for fixing the in game chat for me . Apparently last @SeaOfThieves update had knocked a setting in sound . So if anyone is having this issue go to windows sounds and recording go to advance and set it to 16 bit 48000 dvd

  • Shanick92 Shanick Redbeard (@Shanick92) reported

    So in German the Guardian of Fortune is translated to something more like "Guardians of Luck". Isn't Athenas Fortune about "wealth" and not about "luck"? There are sometime translation errors in german Sea of Thieves so i am not surprised if thats an error #SeaOfThieves

  • ca11mewill Liam Suave (@ca11mewill) reported

    @MadEyeMuldo @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd 1. It is not skill based matchmaking, just like the rest of the game 2. if they added skill based matchmaking then you’d be waiting a lot longer than you already are and 3. i don’t like to sound like a broken record but the fun of all games is learning to “get good”

  • Crawlerson_ Daniel (@Crawlerson_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey, maybe its time invest in some anti cheat. 5 cheaters in 2 days is a problem

  • AstroriaLunaris Astroria Lunaris Infinite 🏳️‍⚧️ 🐀 (@AstroriaLunaris) reported

    @SeaOfThieves now fix the matchmaking so it actually gives us a fair fight instead of being put up against the absolute sweatiest pirates the seas have ever seen or the absolute greenest of greenhorns every damn match

  • Itsyaboybobii Bartholomew Roberts (@Itsyaboybobii) reported

    @MadEyeMuldo @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd people want pvp now it's a problem

  • LordWhisperr Lord Whisperr (@LordWhisperr) reported

    I'm cursed with only getting streaks of 3 how do I fix this ****? #SeaOfThieves

  • pxtwitit Keith M (@pxtwitit) reported

    @SmithyBug @shenanigoon @SeaOfThieves I'll remember that the next time I'm racing a soapbox car against a Lambo (which is the closest you can actually get to the more common problems people have with the current state of what you're calling PvP in this game).

  • Recon777_ Recon (@Recon777_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Guys please fix the wait times

  • LordWhisperr Lord Whisperr (@LordWhisperr) reported

    @lmDinoNuggie @mazaiisot @SeaOfThieves Fix your pc so we can play

  • ConsoleF0V Tacitus Kilgore (@ConsoleF0V) reported

    @MadEyeMuldo @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd If rare doesn’t fix the glaring issues this mode is as good as dead. Once the average and newer players fall off it will only be the sweats left in matchmaking, hope they enjoy it.

  • MackManGG MackManGG (@MackManGG) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @GetWetSports @SeaOfThieves So just logging in at main port and then getting attacked right after login makes us bad? Sounds good chief

  • shenanigoon Floidberger For 8 Dollars (@shenanigoon) reported

    @LSylvr @SeaOfThieves It's sad how this was SO anticipated especially people having theories of more Sea Fort fights after the previous adventure...but the drop off from this (if not grinding for the curses) is way faster a decline so far than Arena. Hope they fix it bc this is a make or break moment.

  • Hashad_AH Abdelrahman Ahmed Hashad (@Hashad_AH) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Around 6 hours ago, I was playing with my friend, we started new around 1 week ago and we got lots of gems, pearls, and stuff. Out of nowhere the game crashed, as we were sailing back to an outpost, we glitched through our ships into the sea, then we get the error

  • Fluids19189389 Fluids (@Fluids19189389) reported

    Fix your ******* matchmaking @SeaOfThieves first ship we were put up against had over 180 days played vs. is with 35 days played this game is straight bullshit. Just got on because my crew has actual lives and goes up against sweats that have no lives except play this game

  • ConsoleF0V Tacitus Kilgore (@ConsoleF0V) reported

    @MadEyeMuldo @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd It’s doesn’t work, pretty simple. If rare doesn’t fix the glaring issues quickly the mid tier and newer players will fall off. Then it will only be the sweats left, they can fight amongst themselves.

  • cmdr118 SpartanCMDR118 (@cmdr118) reported

    @BehavingBeardly @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support You found a fix?

  • Capt_Bonedust Captain Bonedust (@Capt_Bonedust) reported

    @DeadeyeDavid20 @SeaOfThieves Honestly I really hope it just isn't copy and paste from the costume. Give me a broken mask! Torn robes! Make me look like a corpse!

  • YerOldCaptain Captain Butterfinger (@YerOldCaptain) reported

    @MiltSoT @SeaOfThieves Oh… lol Hopefully you don’t get banned because of some visual glitch or strange lighting

  • SadBarnacleBoy Sad Barnacle Boy (@SadBarnacleBoy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How about you fix your game before you add more broken content and badly written adventures

  • MiddyFile Midnight Iridescent (@MiddyFile) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Mid as hell. So many new bugs brought back, hit regs and blunberbombs ever more obvious. Alliance servers, map exploits, portal hopping exploit, invulnerability glitch. Matches can take over a hour, queues can to, and resupply is a time/gold sink on its own. I'll come back later.

  • Evilslither1 cpt teach (@Evilslither1) reported

    @JeolladoDaimyo @SeaOfThieves Do you really think rare is no Aware of any bug/problem... Like i comment on a previous tweet you did you are kidda anoying... They Will fix every thing in Time you really think those kind of fix Will Come un a week? If you think your better make your own game

  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @CaptainSalerio @SeaOfThieves I don't think that is what's causing the issues. Like you said Arena didn't have it but still had stupid long queue times. This seems hit and miss right now, like sometimes I barely see the underwater tunnel before I get matched, other times it's 10 mins. Seems more like a bug.

  • 2sallads 2sallads (@2sallads) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The new update ruined my mic in game. I sound muffled and low. No issues on any other app or game.

  • YerOldCaptain Captain Butterfinger (@YerOldCaptain) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Now give us Gloria’s outfit! Not sure what you gonna about the eyepatch since you already released that as a special login

  • Pogiforce Pogiforce (@Pogiforce) reported

    @LukeHudsonKing3 @SeaOfThieves That was kind of my experience last night. which wouldn't be a problem, losing helps you get better, if it weren't for the fact that EVERY crew win or lose was a toxic PoS, and more than half of them used slurs.

  • PogoMoehre PogoMoehre YT (@PogoMoehre) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Yo, dear developers. If I sail into the Storm my game is freezing / crashing. If you find a way to fix this, I would be very happy about it

  • pxtwitit Keith M (@pxtwitit) reported

    @SmithyBug @shenanigoon @SeaOfThieves And I gotta be honest, the fact that everyone harassing those of us who want the PvE only option are forgetting that the REST of the game is ALSO intended to be played kinda blows. If one aspect of the game causes the MAJORITY of the game to be unplayable, that's a problem.

  • Starchilder Starchy (@Starchilder) reported

    @mazaiisot @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd need to fix that at 500. it’s enough time for both factions.

  • IvanSil26309301 Ivan Silva (@IvanSil26309301) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How in the freaking world are you expecting to expect the average player to reach lvl 100 if your fcking queue time is morethan 15minutes between matches?! Pluuuuus the fcking cheaters on theredsea and the ones that ddos the serveeeer!! God damn Im so pissed fix ur ******* game!!
