  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Out of everything you took that... Personally I'm quite active whether or not I'm playing the game so it wasn't an issue to me, but the amount of people that aren't active and didn't know beforehand or don't have easy access to twitter on demand... yikes

  • LBozzie98 Bozzie (@LBozzie98) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Trying not to crash into every island I see…

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @Pharaoh_Rising @SeaOfThieves They only joked about it. No acknowledgement of the ongoing server issues. They're trying to avoid addressing the situation entirely. It's painfully obvious. @RareLtd "Despite the meddling of a certain fruit-bearded buccaneer keeping players off the seas".

  • taintedbuthole Ryan (@taintedbuthole) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why does this game never work on sundays? I consistently have this problem l. Every Sunday. What’s up with that?

  • basically_kobe gabagoo (@basically_kobe) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the servers. Then I'll grab my gear

  • MrsFiGGiEs Alex 💜🐮 @ Advanced lvl 3 ✨ (@MrsFiGGiEs) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Name: FiGGiEs Favourite snack: Burnt Bananas Holiday spot: Thieves Haven Go-to equipment: Blunder, Eye of Reach Preferred ship set: Obsidian Favourite colour: Purple Trading Company of choice: Reapers Catchphrase: Oh no, our ship, it’s broken

  • EatMorBasel2 Emc (@EatMorBasel2) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I can’t see my seasonal progress or trials it’s been like this for days now please fix it I just wanna see what level I am 😭

  • Wayward_Snake The Fuckster (@Wayward_Snake) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can't afford to fix the server but you bet your sweet bippy they can afford to make new Pirate Emporium cosmetics every month!

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Wow way to make jokes about the ongoing server issues. No mention of investingating or addressing the server issues let's just poke fun at the whole situatuon by mentioning beards. @RareLtd you guys need to do better by the Community enough beating around the bush.

  • ActivistGamer Completionist Gamer (@ActivistGamer) reported

    @Loki88340591 @SeaOfThieves Me and my wife took the day off and tried for 8 hours. We were told they were bottlenecking players in because the servers were overloaded. Funny enough, every partnered streamer had streams going on twitch with no issues logging in.

  • tweetsandtums Tweets & Tums (@tweetsandtums) reported

    @snable_rick @GamingLemon16 @SeaOfThieves Sorry bud but it can be blamed for server issues, I play sot regularly and it crashes ab every week sooooo…

  • JacobMarlowe3 Jacob Marlowe (@JacobMarlowe3) reported

    @Merrickthewise @SeaOfThieves Obviously you don't know how these things work. Game sales are used to recoup development costs and fund future projects. Not support the ones that are now aging. I've never had issues with this game until the community day event. Maybe it's an issue with you or your internet?

  • paulB1210_ PoloLesBretelles (@paulB1210_) reported

    @SoT_Support just 9 hours for a server problem... one day we'll all get drunk and overnight everyone will leave, don't be shocked because your game is good but there's nothing behind it @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • CaranAWorld CaranA (@CaranAWorld) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Hey guys, Arena servers are broken again. Stuck on Searching the Seas. Adventure loads in fine, but yea, I'd like to be able to grind that last month out so maybe...someone with a wrench nearby?

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Joking about server issues... it's a real shame you guys aren't taking these matters seriously.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Assisting Rare in this case throughout the other comments on the post isn't helping anyone. Sure SOME people got in, but the issue was dragged on for the entire weekend ruining it for those who didn't know what was even going on. I like to be on Rares side too but this is absurd

  • StraightUnicron Non-homo Unicron 7 (@StraightUnicron) reported

    @SeaOfThieves When are the fix server emotes going to be released?

  • snable_rick Snable Rick (@snable_rick) reported

    @tweetsandtums @Wayward_Snake @SeaOfThieves Your answers prove that you really have to grow up. You probably don't even know how hard It can be to troubleshoot such a problem. Many other game devs wouldn't even care about fixing the problem during the weekend. It doesn't crash every week, this Is the second time in a row.

  • DiscoCokkroach DiscoCokkroach (@DiscoCokkroach) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The Venom Chest would have to drain your life REALLY FAST in order to make it worth the trouble. And the Cannon Chest would obviously be able to hit your own ship if you weren't careful.

  • killzone1401 Killzone1401 (@killzone1401) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves How exactly could he have “tried a little harder” to play when all you could do during the event is press one button to get past the menu only to endlessly get a strawberrybead error.

  • RainDelancey0 Raindelancey (@RainDelancey0) reported

    @SoT_Support Is there any current issues with Arena?. I've restarted acouple of times and i am stuck "Searching the Seas.." #helpme #arenawontgrinditself #SeaOfThieves

  • wavey_gravey Nola (@wavey_gravey) reported

    Still getting Blue Beard error on #SeaOfThieves Insider. 😭 Week 150 and I'm being denied.

  • EliteSheepers Sheepers (@EliteSheepers) reported

    Test stream went great today wasn’t getting 200 ping on @SeaOfThieves. So I fixed that issue. Main stream will be in a couple of hours.

  • tweetsandtums Tweets & Tums (@tweetsandtums) reported

    @snable_rick @Wayward_Snake @SeaOfThieves It’s not an argument, their servers crash often without your loving input and my annoyance, period. And you don’t believe me? Fine, again look at the comments across any social media, I’ll watch for ya in the comments belittling pirates come next week or the week after #tilthen

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves Most recent newsletter was a huge disappointment. Poking fun at the server issues and ongoing outages by trying to make light fun with beards. Didn't think it was funny.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Turning a blind eye to the issue overall and allowing this company to keep getting away with this stuff is going to damage the long term health of the game, so having a handful of random players be able to actually log in on a certain week end every season is seriously bad news

  • d3smsher D3smsher (@d3smsher) reported

    @PhuzzyBond @SeaOfThieves You know what I love about the sot community? Everytime they want something changed instead of just saying “change this it sucks lol” they give solutions too the problem, and really creative ones too

  • cold_ow Cold (@cold_ow) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I sailed my way into server errors.

  • Squall_v2 Thomas Greene (@Squall_v2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Make it past the sign in screen.

  • Bear_Festival Bear Festival (3D Vtuber Commissions Open) (@Bear_Festival) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can we read this article on a Sunday or will the site crash?
