    @SeaOfThieves ,we are asking you about the Middle East servers because we suffer from high ping and every time we play the game the ping is 150+ and above. (So we hope the problem will be solved). Message from Arabic community players Discord link:

    @CrustySockPuppy @SeaOfThieves This is a reasonable response. My perspective is that the issue of player safety has been talked about over and over again using the framework they provided both in the ticket system and in the partner discord. Nothing changed, it was ignored.

    @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves The problem with the voyage cap isn’t even the 3 per pirate - it’s the fact you can only complete 3 before it gives gold instead of doubloons. Apologies if this is what you meant - but I figured that we were gonna be able to do at least 12 (3x4 on gally) but couldn’t obviously

    @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I barely play 1 day a week now down from 4. The game is great, but the studio’s actions are unacceptable. Protecting a predator, ignoring red flags, and silencing creators who spoke up is a horrific look for Rare. A corporate PR statement won't fix this. We need real answers. (i hope they will do something besides "We missed the mark)"

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd @Rare Adding to this its sad to see a game that was in my life since i was 15 fall so far as it has, why cant you fix bugs,remove the acts system and add more permant content instead of taking it away like molten sands, that was incredibly fun cause it used the trading companies

    @FrostyRealLive @SeaOfThieves you don't know why i'm complaining. i love the game, day one player. It's just not needed, they should fix the game instead.

    @TippToppHansiI @SeaOfThieves @theburntpeanut Yeah i've played 4-5 days now. 2 of those days i was booted offline. One of those days it happened 20 times. Not sure how anyone defends this. And bad connections effect solo players even more because they have a razor thin margin of error to begin with.

    @WazzaC92 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Was it bad this glitch happend in the first place? Yes. But no one was stopping you from doing said voyages anyways. As they stated, those coins would've been added to your wallet.

    Throughout the years of Sea of Thieves, there has been so many attempts of exceptionally large creators that want to check it out with friends, just to be met by cheaters, or the most annoying behavior till they are forced to get off. This kind of **** has been going on for well over 3-4 years, as someone whose been hit personally by auto hopper, spamming of 100's of invites, targeted server ddos, dozens of times at this point. You learn to deal with it. Nothing you can do. Its annoying, and if someones determined, they will get you eventually. Now I'm no professional in advertising, but I feel like I got a good idea of how it works. When big or small creators, paid or not, are putting forth an opportunity to really set in motion some fresh eyes for your game, its best to start plugging some of these vulnerabilities so they can continue to play, or at least feel the need to. That's good business. So I mean with all sincerity, but what ******** is going on at HQ in which **** like this continues to happen? ITS BEEN YEARS OF THIS SAME BULLSHIT. You can have your own personal look on TheBurntPeanut, but when one of the biggest advertisers/creators, averaging 80-100k live viewers across 2 platforms, is constantly getting hit. What do you think that shows viewers, interested, in maybe checking out Sea of Thieves for the first time. First impressions are everything, and this **** ain't looking too good. #SeaOfThieves

    @SeaOfThieves Is Custom Seas gonna make regular server feel even more dead? Are hackers gonna be able to access it and crash it so that larger streamers cant even play it? Is it gonna be a buggy mess like the game is? 🤔

    @SeaOfThieves can you fix your bugs and glitches instead of dropping more and more cosmetics to make money players dont give a **** about skins if the games broken kraken suck animation is broken to point to where you get glitched out and cant move to repair ship you know how aggrevating that is when you spent 4 hours at gathering loot for achievements fix your ****

    @SteezyyTommyy @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Maybe he should use his fingers to actually talk about the issues facing the community instead of grandstanding about “delete muh account” and farming moral applause. “Recent events” tells people absolutely nothing. Hope this helps!

    So yesterday me and my friends decided to redownload @SeaOfThieves on PS5 they all managed to login successfully but I couldn’t. I tried every email I have ever used and none of them worked how is that possible. I know my in game gamer tag and have a receipt of purchase

    @fraudatori @SeaOfThieves You're missing the point. If you have sea of thieves on game pass, do not login to the game and vote an emisary you're not on the ledger. I'm assuming you haven't played this month? Go to the ledger and look for your position, you won't be on there until you login and vote

    Matt (@Sloopflex) reported

    I don’t make a lot of comments about sot issues but it is truly baffling to me how much the SoT community is blowing up right now and Rare is staying silent and dodging it. Action needs to be taken. Do better @SeaOfThieves and you need to FIRE @j0toro

    @Seeker53872832 @SeaOfThieves What did you expect after they said there was a doubloon economy issue, after the last few seasons included a bunch of stuff that sells for doubloons? That's a manufactured issue.

  • ArtistofThieves
    Artist of Thieves (@ArtistofThieves) reported

    @fraudatori @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves Sure the game has many problems, im not disagreeing on that regard. But just because another game has a pirate theme, doesnt mean it can replace sot gameplaywise. These other games just arent for me, as they cant replace what i like on sot.

  • BlueFieldAbove
    Blue Field Above (@BlueFieldAbove) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You reset my doubloons. I am struggling to find out why you think that means I would want to return to the game? Can anybody on the dev team explain that to me? Why would I slog through your broken matchmaking system and buggy servers just to earn what I had, back?

    Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported

    @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves That is what I mean by "not saying they are doing it correctly". First thing they should've done would've been put the people in question on leave until issues are pointed out. But then again, it's not the fault of most of the company. It's the fault of PR and also HR.

    @SeaOfThieves @Twitch Your reputation sunk after 10 devs couldn't help BurntPeanut with the DDOS situation

    @SeaOfThieves I also spied my eye on a little Peanut getting server DDOS'd with his friends and roughly 70k viewers..... Going to acknowledge the issue at hand? no? hmm ok... I used to Love and breath this game. It's truly sad and seems so far gone.

  • TouchOfOblivion

    @KBoldZiel @SeaOfThieves What a shocker, SoT released yet another THIRD OF A SEASON AFTER DELAYS and it's broken. Can't protect their community, can't code their game, can't do anything but dump more things into Emporium. This game used to be so much better.

  • Nemesis2K
    ꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reported

    Last ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 30+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

    Is it just me, or is everyone experiencing terrible frame drops in #SeaOfThieves lately? I have a pretty decent PC setup, but my frames are dying whenever I’m fighting a Burning Blade or completing Ashen Garrisons. The lag when opening barrels and crates seems to be back as well. Looking back at old game clips, it used to run smooth as butter. Will it ever feel that way again? @SoT_Support
