4ostboy (@4ostboy) reportedSo yesterday me and my friends decided to redownload @SeaOfThieves on PS5 they all managed to login successfully but I couldn’t. I tried every email I have ever used and none of them worked how is that possible. I know my in game gamer tag and have a receipt of purchase
-
SickStyle Gaming (@SickstyleG) reportedI believe in live and let live and for each to do their own thing. With that said if your "thing" is to be crude while farting and belching in your mic while trolling and griefing you're bound to strike the wrong nerve with someone loco enough to cause you issues. #seaofthieves

Seth (@smald81) reported@SeaOfThieves @BigKlevin Would have been great to see peanut 🥜 play but too bad you guys couldn’t prevent a DDos attack would have been huge for the community just guessing angry people with flags in their bios!
-
Hexternal (@Hexternal_) reported@IamGreen112 @JoniK90461517 @SeaOfThieves But it’s obviously nothing compared to limited time things which are gone forever. In fairness we don’t know how long the rotations will be. If they’re quick I hardly see an issue with this

Beardageddon (@RealLifeWookie) reported@fraudatori @SeaOfThieves You're missing the point. If you have sea of thieves on game pass, do not login to the game and vote an emisary you're not on the ledger. I'm assuming you haven't played this month? Go to the ledger and look for your position, you won't be on there until you login and vote

East (@CptEasty) reportedHey @SeaOfThieves , i would like to know what you can do about our hourglass glitch, im playing with my son and friends, about to get him his first 4 streak in HG when we spawn into a match about 100m in the sky with our boat flying a mile away from us, unable to move streak lost

DUBB3D (@__DUBB3D__) reportedThe recent decisions from the Sea of Thieves team has been unacceptable and quite frankly out of line. The more recent issues being Season 19, and the Blackwyche set releasing in the Emporium are the final straws on the camels back for a lot of players, myself included. More specifically, the way both of these situations have been handled is nothing short of disgraceful. I'm not talking about the team scrapping content from Season 19, but rather trying to keep the 3-Act structure, when we were just told by Drew that that formula does not work, yet it's still getting implemented. "Transparency" as a whole is something we have heard from the team almost every video it seems. However, it has become corporate speak rather than details of current problems (and what they're doing to fix it) as well as discussion of the large-scale full roadmap for the future plans of the game. This is highly alarming. We are far beyond the point of needing to be surprised for anything. PLEASE just tell us what you are going to do for the game and what is going on. We need full honesty and openness about what the team is doing to show that our valuable time is not being wasted like it currently is, and for overall improvement of game health. Of course the next community direct could be the start of seeing some future plans, but again, this needed to happen sooner (years ago) and it's honestly too late regardless of what happens now. We see Rare is underwater and profits are decreasing at an alarming rate. We see the team scrambling to push out any amount of half-baked content. The overall quality bar has been set so drastically low it is embarrassing. None of it has proper creative and intuitive lead like it used to and it leaves us with less and less for every update. The game does not feel as full or exciting as it used to, despite there being so much. Another huge problem, especially right now, are the community managers and moderators. So many of these people in the past have bullied, belittled, blocked, and flat out banned players for voicing their opinions. There needs to be a drastic change in this team in regards to how it is structured and how they are allowed to use their authority and operate. I am not wishing for anyone to get fired, but rather repositioned to a different role, because managing a community and handling feedback is obviously not in their skill set. Some people in particular are J0toro and Shirah, who have been the worst when it comes to this. It feels like they have no boss watching or directing what they do and it has been like this for years. They are on a super loose leash and it feels like they are completely separate from the rest of the leadership team. They speak and act on what they feel and what they want and it is super bad. These people SHOULD NOT be the public representation of Rare, specifically Sea of Thieves at all. There is also a MASSIVE disconnect between how Rare views Sea of Thieves, and how the players view Sea of Thieves. Yes, it is Rare's game and Microsoft's IP, but our wants and needs as the players who actually spend time in the game needs to be paramount in decision making in the future. In short, what I am trying to say, is that Rare and specifically the directors of Sea of Thieves need to either get this game back on course before it is too late, or announce that they are working on Sea of Thieves 2. People only speak up because they care. If nobody spoke up in the face of problems, then it would be even worse than it is now. The fact that still so many people voice their opinions is a good thing, so please stop censoring us or just flat out ignoring us. #SeaOfThieves

- ̗̀Ｚ ̖́- (@Zairin__) reported@Seeker53872832 @SeaOfThieves What did you expect after they said there was a doubloon economy issue, after the last few seasons included a bunch of stuff that sells for doubloons? That's a manufactured issue.
-
Davrim (@DavrimTV) reported@Musicmee_ @SeaOfThieves Wish I could say the same. Lag, server hiccups, broken ladders and unable to pick up food from crates and barrels was my weekend and first go at S19

Venom (@VenomousSloth7) reported@SeaOfThieves Great actually. I have been playing other games and havent plyed since January. I keep checking but continue to see the devs are just as incompetent as always! To those playing, your complaints are being heard but they dont care and it will continue to be a broken mess

Captain Long Face (@OpochLongFace) reported@SeaOfThieves Trying not to get DDOS when streaming

-
Jim Binky (@Jimbinky) reported@Common_Potatos @SeaOfThieves That's why they started it early this time. It's gonna take longer cuz there's less interest. Should honestly just lower the requirements, but I guess this is one way to fix it.

Ryan Shepherd (@RyanShe89693323) reported@SeaOfThieves YOUR GAME IS BROKEN! I was going the gold horders vault and while I was bringing the treasure out my boat randomly sank, so I went back to my ship and came back to fletcher Island, and the vault was locked. FIX YOUR GAME This isn’t the first time it happened this the update
-
MagmaBoots (@MagmaBoots) reportedIs it just me, or is everyone experiencing terrible frame drops in #SeaOfThieves lately? I have a pretty decent PC setup, but my frames are dying whenever I’m fighting a Burning Blade or completing Ashen Garrisons. The lag when opening barrels and crates seems to be back as well. Looking back at old game clips, it used to run smooth as butter. Will it ever feel that way again? @SoT_Support

GotItFromEbay (@GotItFromEbay) reported@LUCKYY10P Big L for @RareLtd and @SeaOfThieves. Game needs an injection of players right now and TBP gets DDOS'd off of it by cheaters. Shame too because I feel like SoT would be right up his alley of crew/friend shenanigans.

Anto (@Anto26108697232) reported@SeaOfThieves ******* hear the community, fix your game, but probably you won’t because you are just a greedy pig
