    @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

    @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.

    @surivSHANKS @ITZH4ZARD @SeaOfThieves The problem is not the orange association box, its the purple confirmed cheater box. No idea how they got that information though.

    @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.

    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 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🙏

    @Jumper92PL @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I have same problem, I hope they ll fix this

    @SeaOfThieves #seaofthieves punishing the player base for your mistakes is not the way to solve problems. this issue should have been solved on day1 of the weekender not a month later how are people supposed to make doubloons when the only doubloon item is 10 at base value

    @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.

    With everything going on in the SoT community right now, it’s been really disappointing to see certain creators and familiar faces either show their true colours or stay completely silent, It’s honestly horrible seeing how broken parts of this community really are. #SeaOfThieves

    @SeaOfThieves I understand it's just a visual bug, but for heaven's sake hahaha fix it

    @King_0f_Souls @SeaOfThieves No the cashew beard is from their previous fix to prevent disconnections mid queue. If it was the requeue we’d see the issue in hg

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Ah yes, only listen to the big streamers. That’ll fix the game 💀

    @HitboTC @sandthegame @SeaOfThieves Sand definitely has a lot of work needing done to fix bugs and get the cheating under control. Don’t get me wrong it’s definitely fun, but definitely has an uphill battle to polish it up

  • RevBombRR
    RevBombRR Official (@RevBombRR) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The fact that the game is this old and you guys still can't figure out how to release an update says something about the dev team. If I was this bad at my job, I definitely wouldn't have 19 seasons to fix it

    @AboutSelphy @SeaOfThieves because loss farming is a strat. As long as there are points awarded for losing, this is going to be an issue. To be clear, i think it IS an issue, loss farming. But your openly flexing on using an exploit to deprive people of something the devs think they deserve. Just stop.

    We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well. And it doesn't matter if you write to Microsoft HR or the Board or anyone else. Your email gets dumped in the trash. Your voice doesn't matter. CMs for video games can do whatever they want apparently and silence their community. If only you knew how bad it is over here. We feel your pain, though. As a consumer, we aren't allowed to have an opinion or voice them.

    @Gamepi31 @IMadyax @SeaOfThieves They have been on this game since 2018 - they should know by now how long they need - and also the issues were not anything like as bad as this in the first few years!

  • DiceTellaStory
    The Dice Tell a Story (@DiceTellaStory) reported

    @AboutSelphy @SeaOfThieves Scum willing to use exploits and other avenues to disconnect players from the game need to be banned, regardless if the context is true or not.

    @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

    @SeaOfThieves Hopefully if the supply issue drops, which impedes competitive creation, we get the option to at least “add captaincy” supplies we can just spam to stock boats.

    @Kk123153210 @Giovann69642526 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, but this is not first not working update. They had more time, literally removed all the content from season 19 to makie this mode work and even moved it for a month later to release and it didnt work. Then, they release it again after more time and it has even more issues

  • 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.

  • Twigleaf_Twigs
    Candice Weatherby (@Twigleaf_Twigs) reported

    @EqualTree3 @SeaOfThieves Their event last week, the pop up plunder..... Didn't even work. So extending, or retrying is futile. They have no clue what they're doing. That's a fact. No amount of extending will fix it.

    @Lym0nade @RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Again you can keep bringing these " numbers " Idgaf, I don't believe 250k people did login last month, to play play SOT. I just don't see it, Windrose out? so many other games too, yeah this is bs numbers. Not to be mean, I just dont believe these made up numbers.
