    Custom Seas is going to be a lot of fun. It feels like it's been designed more with content creators in mind than the average player but I think most people will still get a good laugh out of it and create some memorable moments. The problem is that fun side content and seasonal content are not really the same thing. If this is supposed to help carry an entire Season alongside the occasional returning limited time event then it just is not enough by itself. Season 21 needs to land with some real weight behind it. Adventure Mode needs meaningful additions. New ships, new islands or even entirely new regions. Give players fresh reasons to explore the world and engage with the game in different ways. What we do not need is another couple of delivery missions wearing a fancy new outfit and pretending to be a major update. We have been sailing that particular route for quite a while now. #SeaOfThieves is at its best when it surprises people and gets the community genuinely excited to jump in and see what is new. It feels like it is time for that again. Anything less will mean terrible engagement.

    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

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Your problem wasn't the game. Your problem is you try to appeal to the whiniest of the player base who felt entitled to gold they hadn't stolen fairly. Now, ffs, I'll forgive it all if you spawn a Shrouded for me. 8k hours guys, like damn, I'm dying here.

    @BocaG @Christi19879853 @SeaOfThieves It would literally hurt no one to make safer seas the full experience or just having private severs. They say its PvP game but the PvP aspect is whats the problem. Outside of janky hit boxes, there's no natural progress in skill when it comes to PVP. Thr gap is huge.

    @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

    @SeaOfThieves How about a fix, that when I try and dive tot he doubloon quest it actually dives, instead of having to cancel after 10 minutes and lose the voyage

    matchmaking takes forever, flags disappear after diving back after a win before going thru the portal, masts glitch if you dont repair them, half the boats dont count toward streaks like wtf is this buggy mess i just want to play dollar tree arena in peace @SeaOfThieves

    @IamGreen112 @SeaOfThieves So, players who exploited this got to keep everything, those who were affected by the glitch got items deleted, and you're stuck between a rock and a hard place of having to earn them, and having items taken away. Schrodinger's Doubloons-- their here and not here at same time lol

    @fraudatori @SeaOfThieves I am lost, are you agreeing that you have to login and play, or disagreeing? Because either way you have to log in and play to be on the ledgers, that is an irrefutable fact. Nowhere have your screenshots proved your initial argument that you're automatically on the ledger

    Well I feel robbed tried to do the raid on the fea fort cause I had 3 hours left only for the game to lag out badly hard game crash as well disconnected from my microsoft account where I had to relink for some reason and now I can't get back on ๐Ÿ˜” plz do better #SeaofThieves

  • LynnaliaTV
    Lynnalia (@LynnaliaTV) reported

    @fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves Epic does it to "dogfood" their own engine, showing it off and also finding development issues. Considering their scale, that has massive value. Rare has no such incentive, especially when the game already runs so poorly.

    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.

    Some @SeaOfThieves viewers/streamers really need a reality check on what cheating actually looks like. Watched a streamer get sniped 3x in an hour today. The fights were suspicious (insane air shots, constant mid-air hits, etc.), but the chat was screaming "cheater" for things that were easily debunked. Ladder speeds were normal on VOD, and "insta-kills" were just players not being full HP. (I also encounter this kind of problem, but I always check a clip out or rethink what happened) Itโ€™s easy to lose cool live, but we have to analyze before we accuse. Grateful the streamer kept a level head. The REAL issue? Public sites still exist that track specific players and server ship counts. How is this still live after a months? Cloudflare should be handing over data for a lawsuit at this point. Hoping this reaches the right eyes. @ChappersChapman @S0nicbob

    @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

    @Ri58995851 @SeaOfThieves Ok my bad lol and to tell you the truth. I hate SoT. I will never play another live service game in my life cuz of them. Iโ€™m an achievement ***** so I gotta keep everything at 100%. This ****** game keeps forcing me back, wrong tree with that gagging on SoT **** stuff.

    @crudmasterTV @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob Do you mean like a counter? ๐Ÿค” Honestly, I had no problem knowing how many ships were left because the arena shrank very quickly, so you could always see how many ships were in the area. The new arena isn't that big.

  • BoomersGood
    BoomersGood (@BoomersGood) reported

    My dreams of wanting to be partners with SoT has long since died. I'm not supporting a group of folks that sweep important issues under the rug, victim blame, hide behind rules feel like "rules for thee not for me." There are too many rats and not enough cats #seaofthieves

    @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.

    @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

  • KingHotdogPig
    KingHotdogPig (@KingHotdogPig) reported

    @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 donโ€™t control staffing or policy decisions. Expecting those people to stop working because of failures in another department isnโ€™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.

    @Valor_Omega_SoT @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves In a way, I don't want to trust this particular team again. It's a huge letdown and disappointment especially being on the Stream Team and seeing how things "get done." They've dragged *** on too many things and now it's about being honest, open and direct about a serious issue.

    @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 Hopefully if the supply issue drops, which impedes competitive creation, we get the option to at least โ€œadd captaincyโ€ supplies we can just spam to stock boats.
