  • jessesmith1999 Jesse Smith (@jessesmith1999) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How broken is this game, I'm baffled at how it manages to be in a worse state every time I play. Season 7 what a flop

  • DayKahDos ⭐️boy Saka (@DayKahDos) reported

    @Alpha_Nooben @Nubbyderg @SeaOfThieves Couple issues with what you said.. that doesn’t happen every time. I solo quite a bit and rarely even see ships, let alone see ships that can sink me. Tbh sounds like a skill issue. If you’re not good enough to fight, either learn or don’t stack loot for hours. Ez solution 😎

  • HierNett SonySonic_alt (@HierNett) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix ur servers for ***** sake i cant even get my commodities properly

  • XLagged Lagged (@XLagged) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Unable to log into my ship again on captaincy. Please fix.

  • IMDingBop laaaaa (@IMDingBop) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so randomly my dude just decided so i have to Alt f4 to fix it

  • smarioplayer200 Joshua1995 (@smarioplayer200) reported

    @EddieThe_Bear @WCPsycho @SeaOfThieves I would love to, honestly. But this game really needs to fix their issues, it's becoming a running joke that everything new is broken whilst breaking older things as well

  • Funny_4a4a Internet Funny Man (@Funny_4a4a) reported

    @Wermux @SeaOfThieves You mind telling me who it is? I can't say sea of thieves at the moment since my pc is broken

  • legion8jackal Jackal (@legion8jackal) reported

    @ScarlettW01f @SeaOfThieves Yeha I got reported and temp banned for something I said in their ingame text chat. Only issue with that is that I dont have the text chat bound to controls and can only use chat wheel

  • PrinceOceanus Oceanus 🔱 (@PrinceOceanus) reported

    @SeaOfThieves It seems I'm getting a Stawberrybeard error when I try to sign into the game. Is this being looked into?

  • NeonLlamaFace Neon (@NeonLlamaFace) reported

    @themilkman696 @SeaOfThieves They are aware of the issue but recommend not to use the saving feature for the time being.

  • Zvezda_Platinum Zvezda_Platinum (@Zvezda_Platinum) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix ship customisations deadass

  • action_j3 action_ (@action_j3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Hoping the seas calm for #SeaOfThievesCommunityDay today. My crew and I have experienced a litany of server slowdowns that have produced periods of lag and AlmondBeard errors. Especially problematic when you have a Trophy Shadow Stormfish on your line.

  • RayTwoPlay RayTwoPlay (@RayTwoPlay) reported

    @SeaOfThieves keep getting the Strawberrybeard error code when trying to sign-in & play the game! Can you help?

  • GREENRA56347271 GREEN RANGER (@GREENRA56347271) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Were is the bingo line with your game fix’s. Cause the game breaking bugs in this game is embarrassing. Instead of promoting the new story and community day, how about you fix your actual game. Captaincy is still broke BTW. Maybe old players will come back then.

  • Treefittytwo 6 ships? (@Treefittytwo) reported

    @MissCaptainOwl @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Let the beard errors begin.

  • AlphaWolf1679 AlphaWolf (@AlphaWolf1679) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @SwornPaladin_ @SeaOfThieves How are you supposed to ‘’get good’’ when your going up against peaple who habe played the game for years? It doesnt matter what i do anyway i doubt i actually can get any better than i already am cause i was born with a eye problem they always vibrate even worse when i try to

  • thirtylashes Thirtylashes (@thirtylashes) reported

  • RealChaotic1 TheRealChaotic1 (@RealChaotic1) reported

    Is anyone else having an issue with the #SoT #SeaofThieves Adventure? My crew & I are at the end and we've defeated the Soulflame Captain, but nothing happens and the Ancient Priest simply disappears. Did it 3 times now and cannot seem to complete it. @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves

  • TEH_Six Max Seagrove (@TEH_Six) reported

    @SeaOfThieves While I do like #SeaOfThievesCommunityDay I just wished it went on for more than a day. With everyone rushing to get on and play the game it tends to lead to some server issues unfortunately. But it's still a good time with my mates.

  • XMykhakis LoSt MyKhAkIs(Xb1) (@XMykhakis) reported

    @SeaOfThieves these damm lag spikes when a other boat pulls up is ridiculous. I lag our the boat then boat is sank before I get back. Every damn time. Look at the map no reapers go back up to wheel bamn grade 5 right behind me. This is bullshit

  • regiuum Regiuum (@regiuum) reported

    @vigilanceEcho @JoysawSoT @SeaOfThieves The game is broken, if your looking for a game to put hours into you can definitely find a better one than sot, very little end game content with a **** ton of bugs and more bugs being introduced every update. Im not trying to hateful about the game but I’m giving you the reality

  • AC__Lola Lola (@AC__Lola) reported

    @SamtheCreator2 @SeaOfThieves I’ve had this issue a couple days ago for a single day. It doesn’t seem to be solvable on our side as players.

  • AlphaWolf1679 AlphaWolf (@AlphaWolf1679) reported

    @SwornPaladin_ @Falcon59875668 @SeaOfThieves Thats not what im dissagreeing with right now its quite unbalanced shure but the base i dont dis agree with its just that the community and how i end up loosing doesnt feel like a skill issue or fair in any way shape or form and so im rather wanting to opt out of the pvp part as

  • Treefittytwo 6 ships? (@Treefittytwo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Need to add 'actually join a server without a beard error'. Last community day servers were down the entire day. Maybe we could get 6 ship servers? Or a disable captaincy popups?

  • Elca_Gaming Elca (@Elca_Gaming) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I really love Sea of Thieves but you guys need to fix the install issue some people (like me) have on GamePass with your Game which literally prevents me from downloading it again. It's been Months. Errorcode 0x80070005

  • Luigi12free Luigi (@Luigi12free) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the fcking servers ....!!!!

  • MakEhOh Makaio (@MakEhOh) reported

    @SeaOfThieves "Hey guys please don't crash our server thx"

  • jakepat94507040 jake patterson (@jakepat94507040) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix the damned sloop. Everybody runs. Forever. And there’s jack **** a sloop can do to catch anybody. Put the sloop back to being faster against wind than brigs and take captained ships out of the game since they never work anyways.

  • DayKahDos ⭐️boy Saka (@DayKahDos) reported

    @Alpha_Nooben @Nubbyderg @SeaOfThieves Another thing that doesn’t happen every time lmao. If you get good enough and have enough supplies then that rare scenario isn’t a problem. If you want tips on how to get better, let me know. I’ll genuinely teach you. Crying about pve only servers won’t improve your skill sadly

  • SamtheCreator2 Sam (@SamtheCreator2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves #SeaOfThievesCommunityDay is anyone else having issues with veils not properly dispatching quest pages, And no access to captain voyages?
