    @busted63233254 @SeaOfThieves I literally completed the whole thing last week and had no issues at all.

  • Noobface Gnoob (@Noobface) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please don’t bring the steam tab-out glitch back 🙏

  • ruairibruce777 ruairiB (@ruairibruce777) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix your game, me and my friend were playing the second quest in the new update and close to the end, we started one of the fights and we both crashed immediately, when we reloaded we had to do the whole quest again. Fix checkpoints

  • ProdJoat Jackk (@ProdJoat) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I got so worried, was just playing the game, logged off to walk the dog and I come back to and update and servers down, excited to see the new update regardless

  • Nubbyderg Dumb Stupid Dragoness (@Nubbyderg) reported

    @BigOblivion @busted63233254 @SeaOfThieves Clipping glitch still happens, the chest of everlasting sorrow will just disappear from your hands if someone else is doing the tall tale it is from, the area with the Cursed captain is unstable, the mermaid tale is still broken, the meg can still attack after you enter the SoTD

  • killzone1401 Killzone1401 (@killzone1401) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Still no fix for the daring deceiver’s gloves and trousers, seriously?

  • Seventhtank Daniel Linares (@Seventhtank) reported

    @SeaOfThieves When will you fix Xbox series x screen tear? It affects the experience in my opinion

  • Celestial_Idiot Vibe Weaver (@Celestial_Idiot) reported

    @Miistymiisty @SeaOfThieves Well you know what they say, the first step is admitting you have a problem lol

  • HerrDiebholz HerrDiebholz (@HerrDiebholz) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the one shot shotgun headshot thing. I hate it when one player can easily shoot a hole crew down just because he uses the shotgun.

  • skullslayer254 _JD_ (@skullslayer254) reported

    @SeaOfThieves can you fix the loading time please, it’s take a bit to load in to the Sea of Thieves Title Screen on my Xbox series X

  • GamerHippyGal A Notoriously Flaming_Hobo (@GamerHippyGal) reported

    @JurassicSparkz @SeaOfThieves At one time you could still go through the seemingly closed door, was just a visual glitch But that was many patches to add bugs in ago

  • Nova_Charged Aidan Kolb (@Nova_Charged) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm getting pretty tired of being mid mission and then just getting ganked by two players who lobby hopped to have multiple friends in the same server with multiple galleons. Not sure how you can fix that but for the love of god add private servers.

  • requester47 Requester 47 (@requester47) reported

    @Nova_Charged @SeaOfThieves They call it sea of thieves, sea of pvp not sea of friends. The honest truth none of them would admit it's sea of server hoppers mostly! The only way to fix it is to put a 2 hour timer per server hop. That way the "pirates" can sail the seas looking for pvp.

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @RomeoDevin @BeefBabesBeer @SeaOfThieves That sounds more like a you problem and not a problem with the game. I've been playing since year 1 and I'm still having a blast. But I never really cared about PL in the first place. I like a couple of the ghost cosmetics (for obvious reasons) but that's it.

  • es3013667 GamerInLimbo (@es3013667) reported

    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves Sea of thieves cannot exist with PVE only servers. It is a PvPvE game. Server Hopping will never get removed as it is not a problem.

  • JhMitchXD1 JhMitchXD (@JhMitchXD1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Still no fix for mermaids popping smoke 5 miles away or the overwhelming abundance of PVE everytime you even look at an island.... lame..

  • LoganNagel3 Logan Nagel (@LoganNagel3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the Meg in the near future. They've been glitching out more often than not for a while now. I feel like we've gotten so used to it that nobody talks about it anymore.

  • Ethan73962035 Ethan (@Ethan73962035) reported

    @Noobface @SeaOfThieves what did the glitch do? s

  • Bugalugs214 Michael W (@Bugalugs214) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Any chance you could fix the spawn rates of *****/ skellies/ mermaids on tiny islands? I went for a 5 chest dig on a small island and got over 40 creatures spawning.

  • OhLncas lucas (@OhLncas) reported

    @TylerStein17 @SeaOfThieves Don't nerf swords, ******* fix them. They've been broken for a year+, all it is now is mindless M1 spamming. The sad part is newer players don't have any clue what they were like ~1.5 years ago, so they think it's how it's intended.

  • JustinBanjoJoe Justin Marks (@JustinBanjoJoe) reported

    @ABlindBlaze @BitisChris @SeaOfThieves Well since you’ve been a smartarse. Unlike 18 hours ago I didn’t have an in-game message. But now when I log in, oh look! Can’t sign in, now I check online to find out. Does that make sense now? We don’t all live on the internet search for maintenance updates every hour like you.

  • TylerStein17 StarlordWsCm (@TylerStein17) reported

    @mcsherlocks @SeaOfThieves I'm a good shot just sword is broken

  • gator34kag2 gator34kag pt.2 (@gator34kag2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves 😴😴😴 can’t even fix hit reg and server issues. Game has been out for 4 years .

  • Dimitry37842883 Dimitry (@Dimitry37842883) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Go fix new bug and registration hit!!!!!!

  • XboxMik29 Ⓜ️ik29🏴‍☠️ (@XboxMik29) reported

    @xboxinsider I noticed the #SeaOfThieves issue is STILL there after 4 months now. Crazy.

  • JacobDByrd Jacob Byrd (@JacobDByrd) reported

    @busted63233254 @SeaOfThieves Finished them all within a week of them dropping and never had an issue

  • Python37180590 Python (@Python37180590) reported

    this ***** *** game @SeaOfThieves needs to fix there servers its been real laggy and ping is high.

  • JurassicSparkz 🎖𒈙🎖 (@JurassicSparkz) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is this to fix the vault door not opening when doing gold hoarder vaults?

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @RomeoDevin @BeefBabesBeer @SeaOfThieves Emissary flags are what sped up the path to PL. The problem has never been how long it takes to get PL though. It's that there's nothing to do when you get there. Just a combination of all the other companies voyages. We need more PL exclusive voyages and maybe some tall tales.

  • zlue_ Zlue (@zlue_) reported

    @androxyourmom @SeaOfThieves They don't know how to fix it so nope
