    @SeaOfThieves My character re-centers view no matter what I’m doing digging, shooting, looking I’m playing on Xbox any tips how to fix this ?? Please…

  • __ducko ducko (@__ducko) reported

    @Noobface @GregPollard14 @SeaOfThieves i don’t think u understand that rare wants to make this game as less skill based as possible so they can satisfy the noobies in this game removing anything that needs any skill and refusing to fix hitreg to give noobs a chance

  • 1Chenzo Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    @Cloudnine5000 @SeaOfThieves I suspect they didn’t care about the quick digging, but unsinkable sloops weren’t on the map, and so the fix to prevent cancelling the animation had to be applied to _everything_ which killed speed digging.

  • Striker6093 Conner Kiran (@Striker6093) reported

    @Cloudnine5000 @SeaOfThieves Do you know what a glitch is? Its a broken mechanic that isnt supposed to happen. So yeah it was broken. Just like the dropped chest and picking it up glitch that makes you rub faster with the item in your hand.

  • Nostrildumass Nostrildumbass (@Nostrildumass) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Aaaaaand the Steam tab-out lag is back. Thanks guys -____-

  • TntYimi YimiKid (@TntYimi) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Horrible patch! U guys remove the speed bucket that dosent affect nothing to the game and no body complains about that, but the hitreg u can't fixed???? And thats a big problem on the game and affect all the players. you guys are killing this game for real

  • CaptainMimikyu CaptainMimikyu (@CaptainMimikyu) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Did you fix the amount of sirens in the ocean tho? Everytime i touch water, they spawn. But thx for the change

  • Gargomon251 ItemsON (@Gargomon251) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The only enemies that are the problem are players

  • TazedanConfused TazedandConfused⚡ (@TazedanConfused) reported

    @ElKivi_ @TheZachZap @SeaOfThieves Yeah this was a pain! I didn't have a problem with it this morning. Fingers crossed it's gone for good!

  • Cloudnine5000 IDK (@Cloudnine5000) reported

    @Striker6093 @SeaOfThieves in that case, lets fix the sword dashing glitch shall we? thats a mechanic that technically isnt supposed to happen. just because something is a glitch doesnt mean it’s ‘broken’ or even bad.

  • zzz_exe sleepy (@zzz_exe) reported

    @Noobface @SeaOfThieves i dont see the issue

  • hopemackiie Hope Mackenzie (@hopemackiie) reported

    @Cloudnine5000 @CloudNimbus34 @SeaOfThieves What sword dash glitch? It’s in the tutorial

  • VikingSkirts Viking Skirts (Comms Closed) (@VikingSkirts) reported

    @SeeDeathMore @SeaOfThieves If the competitive scene is revolved around a glitch, then it's a ****** competitive scene.

  • BoiBitty Bitty Boi (@BoiBitty) reported

    @GRPFNG @SeaOfThieves They don't have an issue with the advanced sword lunge because they like it, and it also doesn't make you lunge any faster. X canceling on the other hand, kept your ship up way longer and easier than intended, and it unfair, as an entire gally crew can stop a scuttling ship

  • Vanccel_v0 Vanccel (@Vanccel_v0) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Surprisingly I saw a few actually good things. But the sheer impact the bad changes like X bucketing will have far out weigh the good ones I saw. X bucketing was not an issue. Now the game just feels even more clunky and blocky…

  • vaclav_salek Vashek07 (@vaclav_salek) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so he sent a support ticket which didnt really provide any solution so he sent another one, but didnt get the response, is there any way to fix the issue?

  • Cloudnine5000 IDK (@Cloudnine5000) reported

    @Striker6093 @SeaOfThieves idk what you mean by ‘fix the game’ it wasn’t something that was broken in the first place, thats my whole point.

  • Nxah22 Noah (@Nxah22) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why was x cancel a problem, it doesn't affect anything it just speeds things up that shouldn't take as long as they do, its easy to learn, easy to do I don't see the problem with it??

  • Striker6093 Conner Kiran (@Striker6093) reported

    @Cloudnine5000 @SeaOfThieves The blocking sword dash is a glitch. The sword dash itself is not and has been confirmed as an intended mechanic according to the dev team and sponaored streams.

  • glitcherbrine Glitcherbrine (@glitcherbrine) reported

    @Noobface @SeaOfThieves I know! When are they gonna fix that! I'm so tired of these ***** cheaters and exploiters interfering with my gameplay.

  • vaclav_salek Vashek07 (@vaclav_salek) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hello, my friend has been having a issue with the game lately, he bought it, downloaded it, but whenever he tries to open it, it shows an error with it saying that he is missing .dll files, he tried to download them from some yt tutorials, but it didnt work

  • T__Moneyzz Tony (@T__Moneyzz) reported

    @Noobface @SeaOfThieves God forbid they fix a bug

  • Cloudnine5000 IDK (@Cloudnine5000) reported

    @X412_Saint @CloudNimbus34 @SeaOfThieves its literally a glitch that gives no PVP advantage. you’re tripping.

  • GRPFNG GrapeFang (@GRPFNG) reported

    @SeaOfThieves rip x canceling thats literally easier to learn than sword lunging that yall dont seem to have a problem with. yall ****** love casuals dude

  • SeeDeathMore SeeDeath (@SeeDeathMore) reported

    @Sekkosakk @SeaOfThieves they stopped future development on arena because it’s playerbase was too small for it to be a priority for them~ why was it small? because most had quit due to the mode never receiving proper QoL updates and it being left a broken mess, as it still is today.

  • GregPollard14 GregPollard (@GregPollard14) reported

    @Noobface @SeaOfThieves Hey smart guy, did you read the words “fast than intended” by any chance? There’s a reason they do these things, you shouldn’t be able to bucked quicker than the game allows, just like you shouldn’t be able to throw the water at the roof and make it glitch through. 👏

  • Striker6093 Conner Kiran (@Striker6093) reported

    @Cloudnine5000 @SeaOfThieves Lmao imagine getting mad at a development team for fixing a glitch in the game. Lmfao what a clown.

  • MerrowMan1 Merrowman (@MerrowMan1) reported

    @EGGamer_ @SeaOfThieves I foresee a massive data loss issue again, just like every other time they try to do this event lol

  • Cloudnine5000 IDK (@Cloudnine5000) reported

    @1Chenzo @SeaOfThieves yup thats what im thinking too and i agree with the bucket fix for sure but the shovel fix was not needed imo

  • Cloudnine5000 IDK (@Cloudnine5000) reported

    @Striker6093 @SeaOfThieves i meant the blocking sword dash as well as the dashing into water sending you flying. those are GLITCHES that the team know about and dont do anything about because they arent broken nor are they bad for the game, exactly the same as the animation cancel for digging.
