Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • shenanigoon Floidberger For 8 Dollars (@shenanigoon) reported

    The funniest thing about #SeaOfThieves season 8 is how people are shocked players are farming losses for grindy rewards. Yeah it sucks but the game has NO rules. Devs do not properly address problems. It's comedy to me bc I'm still participating AND getting no bothers doing PvE

  • meyerpark Fame/Prime Danny Tran (@meyerpark) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Sea of Thieves @Rareltd need to do like Gears 5 discontinued map creator mode, and have Sea of Thieves give the Arena pvp dlc achievements as you login

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @chaotic_goodboi @SeaOfThieves Switch the hour glass to the other team. They cant make them shorter because its entirely caused by a lot of people at one time choosing the same side. The devs cant fix player choice, but you can fix your choice.

  • the_S_E_A_ The S.E.A. (@the_S_E_A_) reported

    Why is matchmaking so unbalanced? Why can my friend and I, level 7 players, be possibly matched with LEVEL 100 PLAYERS?! That is so broken! 10 minutes stacking resources, 10 loading, and 3 being owned by PVP sweats. Very broken update. #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate

  • LordWhisperr Lord Whisperr (@LordWhisperr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix matchmaking

  • Predalien_7809 Predalien7809 (@Predalien_7809) reported

    @Fletchoss @SeaOfThieves DG people legit spam blunder bombs and fire bombs. That's the issue with pvp addict or DG or sweatlords you guys can't have arguments the only thing you speak off is skill issue and you even contradict yourself + everyone who play normally for you is inferior to human being.

  • druidFlimbarg Moskstraumen (@druidFlimbarg) reported

    @SeaOfThieves 2. Because your matchmaking is busted as ****. Please fix it.

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @thesosopodcast @Tsutakttv @SeaOfThieves So the problem is not the way of losing, its the lack of rep.

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @Tsutakttv @SeaOfThieves So? Its a way some people win, and spawn camping is entirely allowed if it is for the sake of sinking a ship. You only have a problem if they are killing you while anchored and arnt doing anything but killing you.

  • namelessgal23 Heather Wright (@namelessgal23) reported

    I wish more game developers were like @SeaOfThieves. Any time I've ever had an in-game issue and put out a ticket, they were quick to reply and quick to work on the issue. They never fail to impress.

  • frankcasillas50 Frank (@frankcasillas50) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the game and the hit reg 😭😭😭

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @offscouring_ @SeaOfThieves Less than last season... Idk what it is with people obsessing over issues that are being worked on constantly.

  • thesosopodcast The Rational Norseman (@thesosopodcast) reported

    @SmithyBug @Tsutakttv @SeaOfThieves I thing if you still got exp (not eco lol) it would definitely help this particular win style hurt less. But the fact some people can spawn camp due to loading issues is definitely an issue that contributes to this method working at all

  • Dallassavage09 Dallas Savage (@Dallassavage09) reported

    @NoahKel06918695 @SeaOfThieves I'm literally below average and I'm 0-3 I'm just stopping for now because I've only. had 1 close match the last 2 done in no time. Also I hate shooting someone with a blunder and nothing but they shoot me from the same distance and I'm dead instantly wish they please fix it.

  • frankcasillas50 Frank (@frankcasillas50) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the game and the hit reg 😭

  • Warlordstillga1 Warlordstillgaming (@Warlordstillga1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Now if only you guys could fix your invading system so it gives a proper time it always tells me And a friend a minute to 2 minutes and we sit there for about 30 Or 40 minutes without finding anyone

  • punlistoverlord Punlistoverlord (@punlistoverlord) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @RedneckSnowbird @SeaOfThieves i literally said that if thats an issue for you, the devs could easily implement things to make the game riskier in PVE as well, without the use of PVP. nobodies advocating for things to be gotten easier. thats just you asserting ****.

  • thesosopodcast The Rational Norseman (@thesosopodcast) reported

    @SmithyBug @Tsutakttv @SeaOfThieves It’s less of a problem if you got eco for those losses… but you don’t. Making it double ******

  • 13SJG13 ¹³ SJG ¹³ (@13SJG13) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Yes, I do. But I can't because your ****** matchmaking is broken.

  • shenanigoon Floidberger For 8 Dollars (@shenanigoon) reported

    @MrShoez17 @SeaOfThieves There won't. I thought I wanted that but its a pirate game. And broken at that. What they should make is a flat out adventure game. The PvE element proves they could. This mode is honestly PvP training

  • JimmyEatRose Jimmy Eat Rose (@JimmyEatRose) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @TEWFAFO @SeaOfThieves All youre actually saying is you want people who want to do PvE to deal with the try hards so you don't have to. Other games offer PvE modes and don't have an issue with population. Massive influx on new player who jump over to PvEvP also. You server pop wouldn't suffer. 1/2

  • AxiosXLDLC Oldgrumpybastard (@AxiosXLDLC) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How can we expect you to fix hit reg when you can't even fix your tracking on the VCR?

  • NostriIdumbass Nostrildumbass (@NostriIdumbass) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Cool, but now we need a fix for when a full server alliance has one ship put up their hourglass and destroy any attackers with ease.

  • Tyler69206042 Tyler (@Tyler69206042) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix SBMM. I've lost so many times just trying to get better. And just matched 3 times in a row someone with the new ghost curse.

  • Zynexx5 Zynexx (@Zynexx5) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix your skill-based matchmaking system. Me and my friend lost to a crew of extremely,y competent players then proceeded to get into a game against them 4 more times and lost everyone, then we went into another match against an even more competent crew. Fix!!

  • hardway_jones Hardway “First of the Orbed” Jones (@hardway_jones) reported

    Three positive acts from yesterday’s #SeaOfThieves stream: • Offered to pause the fight for an opponent low on cannonballs • Waited while an opponent recovered from a game crash • Raided @RealKingMachine for representing the community on @boomtv’s Bilge Rat Bingo 💪🏻

  • metal_lover1294 Cody D (@metal_lover1294) reported

    @SeaOfThieves My biggest problem with pvp is mainly being able to spawn kill on another players ship.

  • omaralm14735028 omar almansoori (@omaralm14735028) reported

    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves Its good just not as good as arena. It has 2 major problems. - Problem 1: Supplies aren't fair and is grindy in a boring way. - Solution 1: Give X amount of supplies - Problem 2: Blunderbomb

  • urlocalbox The local magic Toaster (@urlocalbox) reported

    @SeaOfThieves 0. Played twice with my brother (we’re both pretty new) and got paired with the most experienced people who sunk us in under 5 mins. Might want to fix matchmaking.

  • TouchOfOblivion Touch of Oblivion 🐀 (@TouchOfOblivion) reported

    @SeaOfThieves "We'll match you in a fair fight" is that what we call two crews in one night who are DPI cheating or outright hacking? The players who made Arena hell are back. Fix it.
