Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Omakaru_Zumee Omakaru_Zumee (@Omakaru_Zumee) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I see everyone complaining about their crew doing 4 gilded athenas and having so much loot they wouldn't have to go looting again if they didn't want to. I wonder if it's a server strain issue.

  • jstocka1 Jarod Stockard (@jstocka1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves turned in a Reapers Bounty and 3 flags got zero gold for it. Having an issue again?

  • AlertChunch Chunch alert (@AlertChunch) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the shooting story emote

  • ShelbyL23124081 Shelly Louise (@ShelbyL23124081) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I keep being randomly Dc'd. It happened alot last night while I was sailing it got frustrating quickly because it always happened while I was fighting other ships, any idea on a fix for this because I know its not my end. Its server lag...

  • ItsSkullss Skulls 🦉 (@ItsSkullss) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why can galleons out run sloops? Its so unfair for us single players who want to play the game. Fix your damn game. SO unbalanced.

  • BrettDickey8 Brett Dickey (@BrettDickey8) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I never lost any progress so idk i hit 75 in most things no issues and i spent around 24 hours or more during those 3 days

  • theAlanAffect theAlanAffect (@theAlanAffect) reported

    @SoT_Support Hey @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves - I’ve been playing this game almost daily since day one. All of these issues in the last month are making me lose confidence in this game. This isn’t good just before the launch of the Plunder Pass. Especially delayed rewards.

  • ItsPrentissYall Prentiss (@ItsPrentissYall) reported

    Emissary flags still aren’t rising after you sink a ship. Things are floating. Hit reg. There’s so many bugs. Comms not counting. Please @SeaOfThieves @Gamerboss @JoeNeate1 DO NOT RELEASE THE NEXT UPDATE, delay it for a month and fix the game first.

  • LongClip6 LC (@LongClip6) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Once again another few hours of Athena quests and rep down the drain because you guys cant seem to fix the issue of when I turn things in and giving me exp. This game is pathetic.

  • not_umce 🇭🇰 might be umce ✊🏾 (@not_umce) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves hey can you guys fix the explosive barrel harpoon bug? that'd be greeaat

  • TheDarkJudge D (@TheDarkJudge) reported

    Safe to say @SeaOfThieves is a glitch fest at the moment. Constant lagging and getting stuck

  • RotLovely Orange Smarties (@RotLovely) reported

    @TobiYukihoshi @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Bro, just shut up. You stream sniped while streaming and we're toxic af... that is against SoT code of conduct and against twitch tos... Both your twitch account and SOT account should be perma banned.. You are the problem!

  • theAlanAffect theAlanAffect (@theAlanAffect) reported

    @SoT_Support I’m sorry but @JoeNeate1 @SeaOfThieves need to address this on camera. This kind of issue will make the community lose confidence in the game just days before the Plunder Pass. If I spend real money to unlock the Pass and it loses track of my progress what is my recourse?

  • piratensnens Jan (@piratensnens) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves My crew and i lost 4 Gilded athenas plus the Emissaryquests.. 16 Athenas in total and 7 hours of work - gone. Im seriously disappointed with how little rare seems to care about these massive issues and the smallest amount of work that goes into compensating them.

  • Demon5379 Demon (@Demon5379) reported

    @SeaOfThieves So we going to have problems again or nah?

  • NathsAPirate Nath BA (@NathsAPirate) reported

    @BrandonASWard @SeaOfThieves @The_Whaw It's an absolutely fantastic game with LOADS to do... ... Providing Mr Wilshere isn't radiating as much bad luck as 666 broken mirrors

  • shadowskulls19 James Campbell (@shadowskulls19) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I just sold a lot of stuff in your game. But it didn't give me the money for selling it. First time av ran into this problem. Any way this can be rectified and I can get my in game money. That's about 2 hours worth of looting and vaults seems like it was for nothing

  • MiKEY_2187 Mikey (@MiKEY_2187) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Is anyone else having screen tearing issues on the series X?

  • boogyghost10188 Mazen (@boogyghost10188) reported

    @SmashCrashr @SeaOfThieves Why would you blame SoT for that? That’s your problem, not theirs.

  • aDreamingNomad DreamingNomad (@aDreamingNomad) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves We received no gold for our items cashed in on Monday night... Is that a known issue? As it was happening for the whole crew I assumed it was just delayed but the gold never changed yesterday...

  • Omakaru_Zumee Omakaru_Zumee (@Omakaru_Zumee) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Not saying there's nothing wrong with that, the servers should be a little better suited to big loads of data during these times if that is the issue. But maybe not wait for the same time that literally everyone else will be turning in loot to do the same?

  • Shona1337 Shona (@Shona1337) reported

    @SeaOfThieves And again the same issue as last time, not Money and Reputation.....

  • Fallen911angel Fallenangel (@Fallen911angel) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Well sea of thieves you've lost at least one player over this !!! 3 gilded athenas on grade 5 emissary 2 chests of legends at grade 5 reaper with fotd .... 12 hour sail for nothing and guess what I've never had this problem with any other game !!! Your a joke

  • RodrigoRashh Rodrigo Lopes (@RodrigoRashh) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Go to hell. It took you 2 weeks not to solve the problem of the winnings of this event, lost the data and came saying that you will reward the players with a value that you earn in the game in 2 hours? You are incompetent.

  • moonlitius Moonlitius (@moonlitius) reported

    @SeaOfThieves “Can’t login”

  • CharllTTV Charll (@CharllTTV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves somethings broken again. been doing merchant for the past 3/4 hours and in the past 20 mins gold + xp has stopped counting up. Shame really as i was nearing 75.

  • JosMartMfk José Martins (@JosMartMfk) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves just fix this trash...lag is real...tired of this

  • JohnnyActual TheActualJohnny (@JohnnyActual) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm not getting rep or gold right now? I'm on an alliance server and no one is getting anything. Please fix?

  • OccitanyGaster Occitany (@OccitanyGaster) reported

    @MattWilliamson9 @SeaOfThieves chill dude. This morning it was fine. Right now the servers have problems

  • hlviii67_howard Howard Halverson (@hlviii67_howard) reported

    @Ignatiouswang @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. I suggest the next time this happens everyone just stop playing until it’s fixed. They got me the last time this happened but not this time I made sure as soon as I see issues like this I go play something else
