  @SeaOfThieves can we actually fix our game before we implement new systems? Here I am trying to pvp and get better at pvp and I'm... 1.) Glitching though my boat? 2.) Grabbing the latter when I interact with anything in my ship that requires interaction? 3.) all of the above? 3.

  @CptStepFalcon @Lukitch59 @SeaOfThieves Devs can say whatever they want but practically Insider is just a beta test and not the definive version of the game. They don't know what it can be broken by adding/changing some things.

  @fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves I think Sea of Thieves has bigger problems right now than the engine it runs on

  @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

  @SeaOfThieves Great actually. I have been playing other games and havent plyed since January. I keep checking but continue to see the devs are just as incompetent as always! To those playing, your complaints are being heard but they dont care and it will continue to be a broken mess

  @shenanigoon @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I truly hope so. It's so disheartening to see everything that's happened. Nevermind the lack of trust from the current game issues, this happening has been a major black spot on this game/studio. I still have a sliver of hope left, but frankly I am not holding my breath.

  @FROTTOLEE @SeaOfThieves They should start by removing the one thing that connects silly pirate game to the real world. The pride bullshit. That is the catalyst for some of the most sick and vile people to flock towards SoT. The usual culprits are the flag pushers. They are a massive part of the problem, that very small, very vocal clique of players whom should not be trusted blindly in positions of power.

  @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Custom server is broken. You host a game and load in and 10 seconds in there is a connection error issue and you cant play custom seas. Please help. Regular adventure works no issues though.

  @Giovann69642526 @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves to afford just the curse, nevermind a single other thing in BOTH of the black markets, and you have to remember that this is only the first black market drop. They intend to add more to it consistently, which will only make this issue worse.

  @SeaOfThieves Unplayable due to the constant lag spikes every 30 seconds or so. I heard it’s because of the fireworks at the outposts?

  @SoT_Support @Jumper92PL @SeaOfThieves I'm seeing reports that yall are just literally ignoring tickets about this issue. And apparently the support people are removing the items cause they 'simply can't understand how someone can get all those items' even when shown they were reset and farmed the items. Do better

  @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Yet another live service ******* it up, seems like a permanent trend

  @SeaOfThieves I would go back to playing this game on Steam, But I have to sign in to my Xbox Account to play it and I can't be bothered. That though my Gmail Account. So I might as well get this game for my Xbox Console (Series X) with a different account.

  @MurpheyLives @SeaOfThieves @Rare_Gamer This is the worst possible statement you could make. "Clear his name"??? It is OVER. There is nothing to clear. The best you could've done is apologizing for your poor judgment, but considering you were part of that disgusting joke a year ago, I guess you regret nothing. It's not a problem that people like that lose the community. The problem is that they did NOT lose it for the first obvious signs. Goodbye.

  @Musks_a_cunt @SeaOfThieves To protect players they should start by firing j0 and Shirah and updating their policies to better protect players. But that has nothing to do with the rest of the dev teams. The people building the game don’t control staffing or policy decisions. Expecting those people to stop working because of failures in another department isn’t right, and blaming them for issues they have no authority over makes all of us who have been talking about this look stupid. j0 has been actively deleting evidence during an ongoing investigation (which is illegal). And Shirah has been deleting peoples messages in the discord who speak up about this. That is who the community should be against.

  @ToodleJerr3196 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Absolutely agree. Even with the actual game issues currently, I still have some hope for a future. But it's going to be very hard to trust Rare moving forward, and they are going to need to do some major work to gain player's trust back.

  @SeaOfThieves Player that has played since day 1 here,✋ Horrible experience. Hopped back to test the event and new doubloon system. Doubloons not coming through, servers lagging like hell on last ship standing (ships flying, long waiting time...) Please, I love the game, fix something🙏

  @hasmoq @SeaOfThieves Oh? That's crazy because I had this happen to me a few days ago, it's in my videos on twitch. I got the unstable connection notification and decided to log out and restart PC. Is this a way to know there are hackers? I've also encountered the Garrison dive glitch 1/2

  Is the matchmaking for Last ship standing broken ? I cant find anything for past 30 minutes. multiple sessions stuck in waiting for other crews @SeaOfThieves

  @hasmoq @SeaOfThieves The games not broken at all!

  @Psychobaker_24 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves i dont believe thats up to you or me to decide that, lets just wait for the company to address the problem publicly.

  @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I have written a detailed ticket that I can't send sadly. Actually would prefer to not write my issues on X and have them solved here as many community players can't get enough spotlight on themselfs most of the time here and be treated properly.

  @SeaOfThieves @xStefina fix the game please , lag spikes are insane after the update

  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.

  Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported 56 minutes ago

  @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 will this fix the server lag?

  Looking at these reviews for @SeaOfThieves on Xbox and A LOT of them want the same thing. A PVE mode where you can play with friends. I don’t understand why this is a bad thing. Remove safer seas. Make that an “Invite only” server and allow up to 6 boats. Problem solved.
