  • CaptainViserion Captain Viserion | The Fallen Ferryman (@CaptainViserion) reported

    @MutinousMel @SeaOfThieves Capture mode would been broken tbh. It would be exploited heavily.

  • PodzinskiJohn John (@PodzinskiJohn) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your damn game. 3 minutes of a black screen during a fight. Unacceptable. Ping is at 59 and haven't had any issues until that black screen. Lost all of my loot ans supplies simply because I couldn't get out of the black screen.

  • SadBarnacleBoy Sad Barnacle Boy (@SadBarnacleBoy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves More like server crash Sunday

  • StormySeaDog Stormyseadog (@StormySeaDog) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is it possible for us to get the LONG BLACK screens added to the Known Issues list in Patch Notes? The Long black screens after taking a mermaid or returning from Ferry of the Damn is painful. Curious if it is hot topic for team.#SeaOfThieves

  • VaderMonkeyGam1 VaderMonkey Gaming (@VaderMonkeyGam1) reported

    Just a heads up, I won't be streaming Thursday night due to an early start as I'll be attending #LuminosityFestival on Friday. Service resumes on Sunday for some more @SeaOfThieves debauchery.

  • xLRxR4G3 Adelaide Roylance (@xLRxR4G3) reported

  • calebsdavis Caleb S. Davis (@calebsdavis) reported from Douglasville, Georgia

    @SeaOfThieves Why is Legend of the Veil final stage laggy as crap? Everywhere else in the map i am fine and suddenly I am lagging up a storm (literally) when i enter that battle 🥴

  • RaginCajun928 RaginCajun928 (@RaginCajun928) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the bad servers. The lag and dcs are atrocious lately.

  • LightninFire13 LightningFire (🔞/NSFW) (@LightninFire13) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hopefully the extreme lag will be delt with 😐

  • minerofeliz_ Hunter's Key (@minerofeliz_) reported

    @Balistic_Chick @SeaOfThieves Ah no problem! You ain't dumb for not knowing the name of a shanty in a game.

  • Wabbs12 wabbs (@Wabbs12) reported

    @SeaOfThieves servers down?

  • ekul_1021 Pirate Eating Lobster (@ekul_1021) reported

    @TheGeeNee @SeaOfThieves There was rumor of a Union at Golden Sands where none of the NPC were there and probably off to their lunch break. I think RARE fixed that issue.

  • its_Chase03 Chase (@its_Chase03) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are you going to fix the black screens, cause if you aren’t then there’s not much point to it

  • drycereal2 patrick young (@drycereal2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves all these skulls, yet i’m still having 3 minute black screens on new gen lmfao. fix yo ****.

  • BradleyCowan143 Bradley Cowan (@BradleyCowan143) reported

    @SeaOfThieves can you just screw the new season and fix all this crashing, lagging, and everything else wrong with your game. Thank you

  • BrendenStokkel1 MOB_xGAMERx (@BrendenStokkel1) reported

    I will hopefully going live soon with some @SeaOfThieves content but I have to update a game on my xbox as I think the updates that aren't going through are lagging my console...

  • Belle_SoT Belle Legend of The Deep (@Belle_SoT) reported

    @CrewMisfortune @SeaOfThieves Yep it’s 109 percent possible. It’s easy have your crew mate go get the loot you stay on the boat boom tits problem solved and don’t stand close to the edge

  • mariastorma M A R I A 🌪️ (@mariastorma) reported

    @1Chenzo @K8_LIVE @SeaOfThieves PVP in the game depends on the old server system where ping decides. because of this, the hitreg becomes a non-working part of the battle. My stable ping is 109 and I always lose to whoever has 77. This is a problem that they don't want to solve(

  • mrblueyes808 Jai Litman (@mrblueyes808) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Yall gonna finally fix the serious lag issues and hit reg problems????? Ya didn't think so.. love yall still but you're losing alot of die hard players like myself because of it.m

  • lonaldlump lonaldlump (@lonaldlump) reported

    @YeetusDiabeetus @SeaOfThieves not a game problem, sea of thieves crashing has never been a problem

  • MinkRoyal RoyalMink (@MinkRoyal) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I hope that you are going to fix the game breaking black screens!

  • BrawlCamel godballs (@BrawlCamel) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your game, everytime I go near enemy players on Xbox my game starts to freeze.

  • sj460162 Stevie Bestcod (@sj460162) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Just lost a big ghost galleon battle because of the dreaded black screen and we couldnt spawn. All these updates and its still broken. We put about 40 cannonballs and a gunpowder barrel and it wasnt even sinking???
