Justmy2cents (@Justmy2cents11) reported@Ri58995851 @SeaOfThieves Ok my bad lol and to tell you the truth. I hate SoT. I will never play another live service game in my life cuz of them. I’m an achievement ***** so I gotta keep everything at 100%. This ****** game keeps forcing me back, wrong tree with that gagging on SoT **** stuff.

DK2️⃣ (@DayKahDos) reported@SeaOfThieves One of the major issues with this event is the lack of frequency combined with the inability to earn doubloons almost at all now in between these weekends. The cap of 3 voyage completions before it gives gold is lame as well. Also server performance was TERRIBLE (fireworks?)

Lukitch (@Lukitch59) reported@aDreamingNomad @SeaOfThieves Even if you encounter it on retail server sometime u won t unlock the commendation, we already see some case while a cheater came and answer from support is … we can t unlock the commendation… so I don t see any issue to have it on custom server…

Captain Falcore (@Captain_Falcore) reportedCustom 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.

Myra O' Connor (@TheMalSid) reported@SkyrageUk @CODE_3CH0 @SeaOfThieves Thats actually a completely different reason... on discord servers you can discuss issues till the mods ban you.... in my case, tiktok support line has been fully ai and you can't get thru to a human or even get actual answers cause they ai is too under developed... hope that you

Kittenspreee (@kittenspreee) reported@SeaOfThieves While we’re on the topic, why are we sticking to the outdated supply issues rather than adjusting their entire purchase method? Add a spawn location for items next to cannon barrels, just like tall tale items on the tables so purchases go there rather than fix the merchants.
-
Victor Escamilla (@CallMeViCtoR) reported@Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves you work on the 3rd floor of a 10 floor company building, the problem was on the 3 ofices that are in the corner of the 5th floor, all the building needs to stop working cus of those 3 ofices making the problem?
-
Touch of Oblivion 🐀 (@TouchOfOblivion) reported@KBoldZiel @SeaOfThieves What a shocker, SoT released yet another THIRD OF A SEASON AFTER DELAYS and it's broken. Can't protect their community, can't code their game, can't do anything but dump more things into Emporium. This game used to be so much better.
-
BehavingBeardly (@BehavingBeardly) reported@knglover @SeaOfThieves This is what they want to fix! Player engagement/random encounters is KING in SoT
-
𐌃𝖴𐌁 (@GoodfellaDub_) reportedLooking at these reviews for @SeaOfThieves on Xbox and A LOT of them want the same thing. A PVE mode where you can play with friends. I don’t understand why this is a bad thing. Remove safer seas. Make that an “Invite only” server and allow up to 6 boats. Problem solved.
-
Matt McKeown (@NicaDeamuS55) reported@SeaOfThieves Its absolute crap Naked pirate cant put clothes on Gun always in the middle of the screen cant see Grab supplies and only having one of everything. Imagine trying to naval and after every shot grab a Canon ball Its not just some bugs this game is broken for me Zero fun
-
Kokokatten (@Kokokatten) reportedPlayers report under the official post that the challenges are not visible AGAIN! Allegedly already fixed and tested, and again failed on live. Typical? Let me know if you encountered the issue and on what platform! #seaofthieves #bemorepirate #belessabsurd
-
Kittenspreee (@kittenspreee) reported@SeaOfThieves Hopefully if the supply issue drops, which impedes competitive creation, we get the option to at least “add captaincy” supplies we can just spam to stock boats.
-
theVileCaptn☠️ (@beturne) reported@HitboTC @sandthegame @SeaOfThieves Sand definitely has a lot of work needing done to fix bugs and get the cheating under control. Don’t get me wrong it’s definitely fun, but definitely has an uphill battle to polish it up
-
KingHotdogPig (@KingHotdogPig) reported@Musks_a_cunt @SeaOfThieves To protect players they should start by firing j0 and Shirah and updating their policies to better protect players. But that has nothing to do with the rest of the dev teams. The people building the game don’t control staffing or policy decisions. Expecting those people to stop working because of failures in another department isn’t right, and blaming them for issues they have no authority over makes all of us who have been talking about this look stupid. j0 has been actively deleting evidence during an ongoing investigation (which is illegal). And Shirah has been deleting peoples messages in the discord who speak up about this. That is who the community should be against.

almtychcknpoo (@AlmtyChcknPoo) reported@myweeweetinybro @SeaOfThieves Also much of my plight with CM was addressing the ban problems, which is still a problem. Blocking us for a negative opinion is bullocks.

Batuhan Arslan (@batuhanarrslan) reported@Jumper92PL @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I have same problem, I hope they ll fix this
-
Slimey Pigeon (@Slimey_Pigeon) reported@JakesBadd @SeaOfThieves Diminishing the issue at hand with raising other, very valid, problems, is not a way to progress.

Copper🔜 SoTFest 2026 Panelist (@Coppertailwolf) reported@coldsot_ @SeaOfThieves I had this bug in insiders- because it was testing I didn’t leave and saw it thro and had people pissed but I was like “literally following through on the testing- the entire purpose of right now” That being said I got the same bug yesterday and scuttled cause I don’t want to win like that XD it’s a very broken bug - you’re untouchable too outside the ring closing in. I imagine a lot of people will do the same in that situation, but unfortunately a lot won’t.
-
DK2️⃣ (@DayKahDos) reported@KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves The problem with the voyage cap isn’t even the 3 per pirate - it’s the fact you can only complete 3 before it gives gold instead of doubloons. Apologies if this is what you meant - but I figured that we were gonna be able to do at least 12 (3x4 on gally) but couldn’t obviously
-
LpG_VeLoCiTy (@LpG_VeLoCiTy) reported@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.
-
Will Dozer 🌐 (@potatosordfight) reported@Giovann69642526 @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves to afford just the curse, nevermind a single other thing in BOTH of the black markets, and you have to remember that this is only the first black market drop. They intend to add more to it consistently, which will only make this issue worse.
-
Andrew Sharp (@sharpywesley) reported@Gamepi31 @IMadyax @SeaOfThieves They have been on this game since 2018 - they should know by now how long they need - and also the issues were not anything like as bad as this in the first few years!
-
Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reportedThe 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

Jesusisking1661 (@JaneDoeMirmir) reported@hasmoq @SeaOfThieves Oh? That's crazy because I had this happen to me a few days ago, it's in my videos on twitch. I got the unstable connection notification and decided to log out and restart PC. Is this a way to know there are hackers? I've also encountered the Garrison dive glitch 1/2
-
cold (@coldsot_) reported@hasmoq @SeaOfThieves The games not broken at all!
-
I Go Rogue (@I_Go_Rogue) reported@Blockeeeee @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Who do people like you always jump to a pseudo defense for a company? Who cares how much of this is performative? It's hes also exposing something then hes doing the right work. Being mad at him and not the issue at large... its weird dude.
-
Boca G (@BocaG) reported@JayBlu45 @VoicemasterTV @SeaOfThieves Yeah because a Gally chasing a sloop around the sea for 45 minutes is soooooo fun. 4-6 vs 1 is not a skill issue, and get better or get lost is so childish it’s almost maddening!
-
arditobn (@Giovann69642526) reported@SeaOfThieves I understand it's just a visual bug, but for heaven's sake hahaha fix it

Petrified (@petrified98) reported@SeaOfThieves Keep getting a error 10 secs into loading in 😭 i just wanna do custom
