  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @seaofnews @SeaOfThieves Would be for the newer 120hz screens with hdmi 2.1 ports with VRR sadly.. that would deffo fix the screen tear issues but that's no good for the vast majority who can't afford brand new high end TV's sadly!

  • 1Chenzo Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    @bracht @SeaOfThieves I think that’s a MS problem and not Rare’s.

  • TomTull1 Tom Tull (@TomTull1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves me and my crew still haven’t received the gold and rep from a level 5 emissary voyage we completed at roughly 13:30 this afternoon, when can we expect compensation please cause this is the second day in a row this issue has persisted?

  • ketanotketa ♻️Blame it on Keta♻️ (@ketanotketa) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Okay but like how cool would it be if y'all added sirens? If you get close enough to hear them, they cause your boat to veer towards them and potentially crash so you'd have to keep control of your wheel

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @WaTsNoTgUdD @SeaOfThieves The sword can be skillful but the issue is there's too many that aren't skillful with it & it just spoils the sword play (for me personally). Like part of that you got a but of a noodle arm on it but still GG on killing them both, the movement is there doode

  • ZoryaStar D̾e̾l̾🔥 (@ZoryaStar) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves There's also a long list of bugs I've experienced that are game breaking that have existed to my knowledge for over half a year. So maybe they should fix the existing bugs before implementing **** like a battle pass lol

  • CubUntameable UntameableWolfCub ? (@CubUntameable) reported

    @seaofnews @SeaOfThieves Its never done that for me I always end up at plunders when I sell crates and skulls etc it never tears it doesn't even lag

  • EXE_Karbon Karbon (@EXE_Karbon) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves just wanted to let y’all know that rowboats are broken at the moment and are launching multiple people on my crew deep into water whenever we’re on them

  • fishrebel183 Fishrebel183 (@fishrebel183) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Flameheart final wave grunt ship immortality bug fix?

  • louroRex Carlos Viana (@louroRex) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves 1yr and this problem still persist holy jesus.

  • xxellax51507499 xx.ella.xx (@xxellax51507499) reported

    @LutrenXx @Chris_Ross95 @SeaOfThieves they do it on twitter, insta, yt and all of their other platforms and they also gave a warning yesterday so what's the problem? If you didn't see it then turn your notifications on

  • TweetsfromEricP Eric Miguel Pereira (@TweetsfromEricP) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hope this fixes the lag and rubberbanding I'm experiencing in only this game. Love SoT, but darn is the lag annoying.

  • goldwolfzero andrew ponder (@goldwolfzero) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I am getting sick and tired of the fire bomb trolling from your shipmates it seems like every lobby I get into there's at least one troll using fire bombs on our own ship please tell me you have plans to fix this or do something about it thank you

  • FTrerotoli Fraser Trerotoli (@FTrerotoli) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I was in a merchant quest and for some reason you can’t harpoon captain keys is this a feature of the game or a glitch??

  • Catherine_Mylar Catherine Mylar (@Catherine_Mylar) reported

    @SeaOfThieves btw why plan for several days to put down an update, NOT have that download ready when you take services down, AND not have an ETA? Everyday this game disgusts me more and more, paying 50 bucks for a game I expect MUCH better service.

  • Farashin42 Daniel, just a rat in a cage (@Farashin42) reported

    @simonmork_ @SeaOfThieves Every other online game I've played has announcements like this either in game or on the login portal. Planned maintenance should be added to the adventure/arena/store page in the lower right where there's already announcements.

  • SpottedLionOli Oli (@SpottedLionOli) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You FINALLY fix broken stuff?

  • AgentTurtle007 jonathon (@AgentTurtle007) reported

    @IIMikezII @Zero_Demon_King @SeaOfThieves But like I said it's my entire friendly list who at first played the game consistently who have all abandoned if for the exact same reasons. And I know plenty other have the same issues. The game has an identity crisis, they make so much pve content but the game has pvp focus

  • CubUntameable UntameableWolfCub ? (@CubUntameable) reported

    @seaofnews @SeaOfThieves No problem, if u have anything else to ask about the game feel free to ask about it

  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @AgentTurtle007 @Zero_Demon_King @SeaOfThieves Like I said, they are adding a likely paid service to allow players to have the ability to use Rares private servers to play a custom version of the game with zero progression. Mostly for content creation community events, but anyone could use it if they wanted.

  • KCBeTaken Lord Whisper (@KCBeTaken) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Flameheart Fix?

  • SHNAYPA SHNAYPA BòÓM! (@SHNAYPA) reported

    i can´t join the seas after the update ... Lavenderbeard ... yesterday everything was fine. i´m new to the game since last week. my firewall settings are ok. whats the problem here @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd

  • Tammsen1 Tammsen (@Tammsen1) reported

    @angerf1stTT @SeaOfThieves I think you need more than just a little update to fix that

  • Elsagaming2 Elsa gaming (@Elsagaming2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hello, I inform you that there is a problem with the server of the game. Because when I launch it, its server mark unavailable sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Taaaaamas Taaamas (@Taaaaamas) reported

    @edavies78skyco1 @SeaOfThieves It will be a hotfix of things. Content Updates are on a 3 month(-ish) schedule now with intermittent hotfix and bug fix updates in between if needed.

  • XRayLexx XRayLexx (DTW) (@XRayLexx) reported

    Since the last Sea of Thieves update (that added 120 FPS mode) has anyone noticed that HDR has become worse? Very dark and smudgy during night/dark scenes. Is this a know issue sot support? #SeaofThieves @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • CaptCutlassCay Captain Cutlass Cay (@CaptCutlassCay) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is this the merchant sail fix, I really hope it is

  • AgentTurtle007 jonathon (@AgentTurtle007) reported

    @IIMikezII @Zero_Demon_King @SeaOfThieves The game has a significant amount of pve content that is incredibly fun to play with a crew of friends, so it creates this problem where I really want to play that pve content but can't because other players are preventing me. It's like pvp servers in WoW

  • CaseRocker CaseRocker (@CaseRocker) reported

    @SoT_Support @XRayLexx @SeaOfThieves We are all having this issue. Everyone has been turning HDR off. It's just way too dark.

  • RobertN53069865 Robert Norris (@RobertN53069865) reported

    @SeaOfThieves when are we going to get private service
