    Not going to lie, my addiction to Sea of Thieves might be an issue... #SeaOfThieves

  • ItsPrentissYall Prentiss (@ItsPrentissYall) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves @MmmCherryade I really hope they delay the battle pass because the game is so stupidly broken on both insiders and main.

  • IcyMethodMan IcyMethodMan (@IcyMethodMan) reported

    @BlownBoats @SeaOfThieves Given up in a way yes, I've given up on hope for Rare to fix this buggy game. I still play/am ready to play with friends but not like I used to. Got frustrated for how long it takes for them to fix bugs during which only adding reskins after reskins and emporium being main focus.

    @SeaOfThieves I’m pretty sure your servers are broken. Tried to get in with a friend and it said “searching for seas” or something like that. We restarted the game and nothing changed. #gamedev #SeaOfThieves #serverdown

  • JonathanBelaire Jonathan Belaire (@JonathanBelaire) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Getting a Lavenderbeard error. Wish I could sail the seas with my gf. She's on console, but I'm on PC. Sad times indeed. #davie504

  • gawd_smokez GawdSmokez (@gawd_smokez) reported

    @leetwheat @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves We have the same problem..

  • elbona88 Elbona88 (@elbona88) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves They can't fix hitreg, and they don't care about competitive side of the game. PVE lords at @RareLtd

  • JakeHamStuff HamStuff (@JakeHamStuff) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR ******* GAME FOR ****'S SAKE. I just escaped from the Kraken's clutches but couldn't bail the water haemorrhaging into my ship because your bugfest of a game wouldn't let me let go of the ******* wheel... Or even move the camera.

  • JonathanBelaire Jonathan Belaire (@JonathanBelaire) reported

    @SoT_Support, @SeaOfThieves Still getting a Lavenderbeard error. Tried all of the firewall solutions, but no luck. It'd be great to be able to play a game that I paid for. (yes a little passive aggressive, but still unable to use product)

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @JohnnyActual @SeaOfThieves Yeah please fix him being on the alliance servers, they're taking advantage of things to make the entire games goal pointless

  • PcflWtrs Tasha s (@PcflWtrs) reported

    @loveableashley2 @SeaOfThieves I think the Boat May be broken .....

  • JeffercakesG JeffercakesGamez (@JeffercakesG) reported

    Anyone else suffering major issues on @SeaOfThieves tonight? I was 3/4 through a quest the game flashed up saying about "playing with all players" and then i couldnt interact with anything? No wheel, no anchor, no nothing. I even sunk my ship and respawned a new one but no luck.

  • blackren101 Ren (@blackren101) reported

    I keep getting automated responses from both @TwitchSupport and @SeaOfThieves about an issue where I didn’t get the last set of drops from a week ago. They seem to think I’M doing something wrong. So just **** it. I don’t need the stupid drops since their customer support sucks.

  • itsrobin05 ROBIN GILL (@itsrobin05) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the loot bug wasted 4 hours last day 3 emesery quest and got no gold

  • leetwheat leetwheat (@leetwheat) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves still not working, we have a ton of treasure we are turning in, double gold and xp not working :(

  • RawData77 rawData77 (@RawData77) reported

    @GandalfsMelorn @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I had no problems posting support tickets.. One as recent as 2 days ago and my issue has been resolved.

  • jjsykes2001 Jamie Sykes (@jjsykes2001) reported

    @SeaOfThieves God I wish my group could sync voices like this, we currently have to deal with lag and echo!

  • Jake50500818 Fallcomb32 (@Jake50500818) reported

    @chrishoulden86 @SeaOfThieves I had that issue the other week

  • Justmy2cents11 Justmy2cents (@Justmy2cents11) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You guys need to iron out your issues ASAP. Seasons are dropping soon and you can’t even give ppl what they earn in game. Doesn’t look good.

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves @thehut_com Are there any problems with the merch store support? Or why are my requests not being processed? Is there a way to reach your store support directly?

  • BeingTimtom Cursed_being_timtom (@BeingTimtom) reported

    @SeaofTheives @RareLtd Do us all a favor and stop focusing on more content for the game and FIX IT. The bugs are non stop. I run into a hacking player every ten minutes. And the loading times are HORRIBLE. we don't need more quests WE NEED A PLAYABLE GAME RARE #SeaOfThieves

  • demanrisu damon (@demanrisu) reported

    anyone have a solution or suggestions for this @SeaOfThieves issue I'm having where the game instantly crashes whenever I try to join a friend's session or accept an invite?

  • MayaSmi34944389 Maya Smith (@MayaSmi34944389) reported

    @Sambo_______ @SeaOfThieves Yeah I literally have the same problem and no one is talking about it at all. So strange.

  • GandalfsMelorn Curse of the gods (@GandalfsMelorn) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Dear @SoT_Support, are you aware that your ticket website is broken since minimal 2 months. The website with the help guidelines is working perfect, but nobody, is able to get a support ticket....

  • doomsdayholiday paintdry (@doomsdayholiday) reported

    @ReinaHW @SeaOfThieves you playing on Xbox or PC? I play on PC and Haven’t had problems with that

  • GhibliOof 𝒶𝒷𝒷𝓎 (@GhibliOof) reported

  • james_the_wolf1 Mr Crowley1948 (@james_the_wolf1) reported

    @Kress8Killer @SeaOfThieves I get what your saying but the game is based on having other people trust me I hate those ******** too but every game like sea has the same problem.

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Thanks! I requested a ticket and it's been solved, it wasn't due to delayed rewards but a server crash instead :)
