    I bought @SeaOfThieves to play with friends, played the tutorial this weekend. Game day is here, my account is locked because of breaking the terms of service?! No email, no explanation. What did I do? Play the tutorial wrong? 😡

    @SeaOfThieves Can you fix the portal hopping reapers. Annoying to have a lot of stacked loot and all of a sudden a reaper 5 magically appears on my server

    @SeaOfThieves Will it fix the "searching the seas" (which takes a severely long time)? Or is that because I selected to prefer Xbox servers?

    @smarioplayer200 @SeaOfThieves And it's likely to resurface, the likely case is that it was removed temporarily due to some issues. Just think you're jumping the gun a bit lad.

    @MrNMrsPablo1 @MixelPlx @SeaOfThieves Problem as usual is newer pirates don’t understand what is happening a lot of the time.

    BeardBerserker (@EXECUTEtheHATER) reported

    @ImWetShelly @SeaOfThieves I’ve only come across ppl that I’m 99% sure of hacking maybe 2xs only because they knew right where I was without any reason of knowing. Otherwise lag hit reg are the usual suspects for me.

    @MixelPlx @SeaOfThieves Got no problem with it myself. Guessing that's why they made the cutlass more effective. People complained about that too. Just a circle of pirate life.

    @SeaOfThieves im doing the 4th tall tale right now and when we go into the crystal fortress jack stops talking. can you guys fix that? we really want the full experience

    @Misty42575358 @SeaOfThieves quickest semi-reliable fix for this, is for your whole crew to kill themselves and go to the ship of the damned together, normally resets the boss's position when you all spawn back.

    @SeaOfThieves Still no mic update?? Can't use my mic for months now. Tried all internet provided solutions and I'm not alone on this. Please put this on the next bug fix list and keep up the amazing work!!

    Lord Nugs (@nuglatron) reported

    Thank god @SeaOfThieves took away to quick shoveling. It really was a complete game breaking glitch. Everyone definitely was complaining about it existing and all were asking for it to be removed.

  • NexStargaze

    @MixelPlx @SeaOfThieves It could do with people having an issue with double gunning from the past, despite it being patched hard enough that a somewhat difficult to pull off exploit is the closest thing to Old Double Gunning, or the insane amount of new casuals getting misinformation from lesser players

    @smarioplayer200 @Taaaaamas @SeaOfThieves Oh I didn't know you were an engineer at Rare. Well I guess it sucks they kicked thousands of people off to fix something not broken.

    @SeaOfThieves I'm trying to update/install the game via the Microsoft Store / XBox app but everytime I try, I get error code Code: 0x80070005 I've uninstalled the game & now can't install on any drive. All other games/apps update or install OK Even tried wsreset to no avail

    7yphon (@7yphon) reported

    @MixelPlx @SeaOfThieves I think people are linking the hitreg issues to double gunning, So to them double gunners are using exploits but not understanding the hitreg issue thats happening. and because it's been bad as of late it's becoming more of a topic. So chicken or egg.

    @SeaOfThieves Anybody else having issues with cannons, everytime my second cannonball does not fire, it just dissapears, then when i try to reload it unloads an invisible cannonball.

    @MixelPlx @SeaOfThieves The community likes to jump onto the next exploit that isnt one. And ignore the actual issues sot has Lol #skillgap

  • zigzagsx
    Zigzagsx (@zigzagsx) reported

    @MixelPlx @SeaOfThieves Unpopular opinion but sword backtracking is a much bigger issue than the few people actually hacking. Why? Because everyone comes in contact with a sword lord every single session whereas only a handful of us have come in contact with a cheater. Sword is more op than aim bot

    @inzi @SeaOfThieves I was so terrified when I had problem with my account, i talked to their customer care and support but all to no avail, i was told to text @Trane12 on Twitter, he helped me all thanks to him, if you have any account related issues kindly text him. He’s reliable and legit✅
