    @SeaOfThieves Guys,but you really can't just end an event three days early because you released it in a broken state .You promise to restore the game to its former glory and I do see plenty of improvements, really a lot but I can't accept a mode that was already out coming back with issues.

    @coldsot_ @SeaOfThieves I had this bug in insiders- because it was testing I didn’t leave and saw it thro and had people pissed but I was like “literally following through on the testing- the entire purpose of right now” That being said I got the same bug yesterday and scuttled cause I don’t want to win like that XD it’s a very broken bug - you’re untouchable too outside the ring closing in. I imagine a lot of people will do the same in that situation, but unfortunately a lot won’t.

    @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.

    @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.

    Damn, this #sotshot copying thing is a real epidemic huh? They hide behind the "there is no rule against it" and "people have the same ideas" quotes as well as the "I didn't see that shot" while later their dms are exposed of them thinking they have more SoT Clout than the original so it's fine. Can @SeaOfThieves just start making note of these people and groups who copy and steal? The community has plenty enough issues as it is already. BTW, attached is the original SotShot, and I hope the original creator reposts this shot and it rightfully wins over the copy this time if the judges find it fits the theme.

    @HitboTC @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I still think the devs care. It’s whoever is managing the teams, leading rare, their marketing, and the CMs that are driving it into the ground. Devs could be more competent, but I suspect issues with tech debt, budget, resource allocation and lack of direction to be the culprit

    @SkyrageUk @CODE_3CH0 @SeaOfThieves Thats actually a completely different reason... on discord servers you can discuss issues till the mods ban you.... in my case, tiktok support line has been fully ai and you can't get thru to a human or even get actual answers cause they ai is too under developed... hope that you

    @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.

    @SeaOfThieves With every update comes 100s of more bugs and exploits. But hey release new content good job on that. Oh wait the content is broken constantly. But wait you know what will fix broken content....? Wait for it.....more broken content. Absolutely trash you guys need new jobs

    @NessieDoes @SeaOfThieves @j0toro Since someone in a Bruno Files video is asking me to send proof of them knowing “everything”, I will clarify with this: When I said “they knew everything for a long time” I was alluding to the pig incident when I said that, which they did know about and deflected by turning their eyes away from it. The linked image below is a direct reference of proof for that. And by “they”, or “Employees” I mean Shirah and J0toro who are employed Community Managers working for Sea Of Thieves who were doing nothing about this issue, yet still endorsed and promoted Bruno

    The bug where you "Can't Grab" crates seems to exist in the Weekender Doubloon Run Voyage. If you can't grab the cargo.. Buying a captaincy item OR merchant supply crate SOMETIMES fixes the issue.. Not guaranteed every time unfortunately... The issue seems CONSISTENT at Crescent Isle specifically. Not sure if Plunder has issues or not and maybe got lucky. Hope the intel helps others! @Seaofthieves #SeaofThieves

    @SeaOfThieves Are you guys ever going to fix the fps teleport glitch, I’m sick of playing on 144fps when I could be playing on uncapped

  • Valor_Omega_SoT
    Valor Omega, Yonko of the Sea of Thieves (@Valor_Omega_SoT) reported

    @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.

    @RobertByron23 @SeaOfThieves Its 3 per player, which means up to 12 on a galleon. It takes more skill to use a blunderbuss then it does to use a bonecaller. And if you were a good player, you would be able to outplay the ladder guard, even with a blunderbuss. So yea, it a massive skill issue on youre side.

    @SeaOfThieves Its absolute crap Naked pirate cant put clothes on Gun always in the middle of the screen cant see Grab supplies and only having one of everything. Imagine trying to naval and after every shot grab a Canon ball Its not just some bugs this game is broken for me Zero fun

    SweetSandman (@SweetSandMan) reported

    @supermariopla11 @SeaOfThieves That's...that's not what's causing server performance to suck. Like at all. Preventing expansion of the game, maybe. But not server issues. If anything, high end PCs with uncapped FPS and/or max graphics cause more server strain. But even that isn't the underlying issue.

    ThatOneWidowmaker (@MaZu_iceTea) reported

    @ManVsMiniatures @SeaOfThieves Its written by their legal team not rare. They know how to phrase stuff without getting into more trouble. While I do agree, law wise their respond is sadly the only correct way.

    @TheDruhMooreon @codeman25955 @SeaOfThieves Dude's out here spreading drama. Let the new players enjoy all the wonders SoT has to offer! Sure there's a cheater problem, but there's also ways around it ESPECIALLY for a new player. And updates haven't been the same, but that doesn't matter to a new player. Let them have fun.

    Players report under the official post that the challenges are not visible AGAIN! Allegedly already fixed and tested, and again failed on live. Typical? Let me know if you encountered the issue and on what platform! #seaofthieves #bemorepirate #belessabsurd
