    @JordanRasko @SeaOfThieves plenty of games that "hinge" on PVP have PVE servers and exist just fine. the problem is the PVPers want to be able to bully the PVErs that aren't good at PVP so they have someone to pick on instead of the other PVPers. i just want to play the game and sail around in peace--

    @SeaOfThieves The ability to change ship size mid session without having to disconnect the entire party

    @SeaOfThieves when will servers be back up. My brother can get in but me and my other brother just get Lavenderbeard errors. Same network and connecting to the same server yet cant get on?

    Jordan Raskopoulos (@JordanRasko) reported

    @HseyinC78831051 @SeaOfThieves Sure, PVE exists for those who can orchestrate server takeovers but that doesn't solve the problem that the learning curve for newer players is often too steep to keep them playing.

    @xPAFIK @YooKaydw @SeaOfThieves Not sure why you think they didn't care. They actually do look at feedback from the community but the more people that report issues, the faster it will come to their attention and get worked on.

    PSA: If you merge servers right now, your bucket will 100% glitch out and prevent you scooping water. Instead of dying, PLEASE SWITCH your bucket to a DIFFERENT skin to fix this. Portal hopping will result in the same thing. #SeaOfThieves

    @SeaOfThieves Having real problems connecting to your servers today. Been kicked out twice and cannot rejoin games. Are there any issues?

    @kroemecyriel @julskinka89 @SeaOfThieves That's perfectly acceptable. My problem isn't with mechanics, it's with people.

    @SeaOfThieves So, why do infinite black screens still exist? Please fix. Please. PLEASE.

    @SeaOfThieves i think someone already said the same, but the more the better so devs hear it: more ocean life! i would love to see whales and dolphins in the game also a monster like Cthulhu would be cool. idk if that could trigger issues with copyright tho lol

    @taternuggets @star_basker @SeaOfThieves That’s the problem, doing that costs a **** ton of money and Rare aren’t interested in spending that much to create something they don’t want in their game.

    @TheRelGamingEgg @SeaOfThieves Also it confuses me why the PvP players **** on everyone that mentions PvE. Its literally not ruining anything for those players. The game is still gonna have PvP servers for them to play in so idk what the problem is.

    @ThatFunker @SeaOfThieves They weren’t hyper-specific, they are genuine issues. Like he said, people are people. There are plenty of ways for people to ruin it.

    @BattleDogs_mxr @prattymatty @SeaOfThieves pvp waaaah :((( but fr its a part of the game so deal with it. and if ur having issues with players coming back for you even when u sink and ur loot is gone then just server hop. u wont loose anything cuz u had sank and lost everything already. no point in staying in that server

    My names ToxicDevilTTV and I am a addict….. I’m addicted to @SeaOfThieves and have played 142 total hours in 2 weeks The first step is admitting you have a problem……

    @SeaOfThieves Id like to report a bug. Skeleton ships can attack you even if you don’t attack them. I was just sunk by a skeleton ship that got too close to MY ship. I did not attack. Fix this please.

  • Felo_Green
    FelixTheBarber (@Felo_Green) reported

    @ThatFunker @SeaOfThieves No. This is not how the game was created. If you dont like it...you do not HAVE to play it. An entire game should not change because people want it to be something it is not. Your anxiety is not a game companies problem. Take care of your own ****.

    @SeaOfThieves Cap alliances to 3 ships, The system is broken as it is allowing 6 ships to all get 1/2 of all loot on server is ridiculous. The game economy and ecosystem is severely disrupted by alliance servers in my opinion. Easy fix

    @SeaOfThieves my fiancé was trying to play the arena with us, but her game crashed after the intro cutscene and now she’s barred from the arena. Can you please fix that so it recognizes when the game crashes as opposed to quitting so people don’t get falsely punished?

    @SeaOfThieves Don’t add anything and just focus on getting combat in a better state. There’s a ton of problems with the combat and this makes me sad. sot is one of my favorite games of all time and I don’t like the direction it’s currently heading. Ps private servers would kill the game.
