    @SeaOfThieves @StrangeStudios_ Are the servers down right now? Can’t join my friend says they are but I haven’t seen anything updated

  • BananaPlayz12 Nate (@BananaPlayz12) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves Is there a way to fix game chat? It’s like a 50/50 that it will work for me on Xbox one. I can’t hear anyone but sometimes they’ll hear me. When it does work it’s a fun day. But It gets very frustrating when it doesn’t.

  • PersonalC0ffee PersonalC0ffee (@PersonalC0ffee) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix arena servers on Xbox. This is not the first time that the game kicked me out 2-3 times and then just gives me a ban. for what? and so no one plays in the arena and then there is also a ban for no reason.

    .@SeaOfThieves @RareLtd What does this error mean?? "Sea of Thieves Services are temporarily unavailable (Lavenderbeard)" I have uninstalled/reinstalled, disabled/allowed firewall access, and closed out my Anti-virus. I would love to be able to play the game

  • Sherl0ckSparr0w SherlockSparrow (@Sherl0ckSparr0w) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves This happened to me once in December where I suddenly went under the island and all the land was above me and I could swim underneath it all. It was crazy. I think it’s either some kinda connection issue at the time or a server merge gone seriously wrong haha

  • RosvoldDavid david rosvold anders (@RosvoldDavid) reported

    @legilimanzy @SeaOfThieves Sins no one is playing arena, they are not working on it

  • JordanMeliani Final Reckoning (@JordanMeliani) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I am sick like more and more people of getting RARE’d by either excessive despawns by being « stuck », unjustified server merges when not alone, sword combat, hit reg (which I know is hard to fix), and so many other bugs that exists since ages.

  • hocka56 Mysterious Stranger (@hocka56) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Can you fix the game? Like please, i don't want to keep doing my grogmangy challenges and not getting my rewards for them.

    @SeaOfThieves @aBoonBag @Shiro4Vanguard Is sea of thieves server down right now?

  • Sherl0ckSparr0w SherlockSparrow (@Sherl0ckSparr0w) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves Interesting! Mine wasn’t at or near an outpost but it’s probably a linked issue that’s for sure.

  • TheGhostWalker1 TheGhostWalker (@TheGhostWalker1) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves Hmm yeah well that is really weird, you said you have an rtx 2070? That's a good card and can't have any issues.. there's gotta be something with the game..

  • winterinaminute Landon (@winterinaminute) reported

    @SeaOfThieves are the servers down?

  • DubzHr ItzDubz (@DubzHr) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I wanted to let you know that your arena servers are not the best right now. I get Disconnected from a game, then I get banned for an hour! Happened again right after. Check my internet...it was all good. Even unplugged my router. Please try and fix

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @TheGhostWalker1 @SeaOfThieves So strange man, I have no other issues with any other game to be honest

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @ItsColbss @mexiohighlights @SeaOfThieves Yeah other games have issues for sure but I think the amount of issues SoT has its surpasses any games over played. Horrible at times to play if I'm honest & it's only about ti get worse

  • mexiohighlights TheSwoleDolphin (@mexiohighlights) reported

    @ItsColbss @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves I’m sure they have issues but SOT is overwhelming. It shows more when you play on a competitive level like we do because we stress the game the most
