    @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves No, you are right. None of us should be asking partners to stand down. I am allowed to choose whose content I want to support as a result. The problem is that these things have been going on for years at this point. It could have been prevented if Rare stepped in and stopped CM a long time ago. Rare is 100% accountable for who they have representing their game. CM are representatives. I ain't gonna force anyone to step down or take a stand, but if it appears that someone is trying to leverage a charity stream to boost their numbers and appear as a good person, for a charity that doesn't actively help OUR victims, I'm unfollowing them. If they are the least bit fake, I'm unfollowing. That's my choice and no ones gonna miss me around...so the decision is most likely mutual anyways. I absolutely do want to see a bigger push though and nothing is going to change without it. Hell, some streamers haven't mentioned it but they have been streaming other games lately...silently protesting already despite making a statement. Kudos to them.

    @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.

    @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.

    @SeaOfThieves Claimed all the twitch drops, but for some reason the gloves and belt does not show up in the game. Any fix for that?

    @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

  • 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.

  • DevilsAdvoc4t
    Devil's Advocate (@DevilsAdvoc4t) reported

    @SeaOfThieves In June? Wow, it is very hard to earn enough. I don't have a problem in theory (capping at 3 is sensible to avoid the same problem the reset had to fix), but I don't agree with the items being temporary stock as a result. Doing everything and a few emergent chests, I have 1500.

    @myweeweetinybro @SeaOfThieves Also much of my plight with CM was addressing the ban problems, which is still a problem. Blocking us for a negative opinion is bullocks.

    @MurpheyLives @SeaOfThieves @Rare_Gamer Not calling Murphey a **** btw nor am i gonna say he isnt. But when you clearly knew where **** was going, you are part of the problem expecially in a space where you have kids in.

    Can we get a blunderbuss revert or fix? I promise no one will be mad if you keep it at 90 damage and just revert the spread and range to the old blunder 🙏 @S0nicbob @SeaOfThieves

    @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves I would agree if the issue would be WITHIN the game, but this is OUTSIDE of the game mostly, on social channels. Again, cut-off people involved and close the discord server until things are solved. People that are responsible are mostly dangerous on these platforms.

    So with Custom Seas Releasing tomorrow. How long will it take for the servers crash after the update? XD Id say within the first few hours #SeaOfThieves #CustomSeas

    @SeaOfThieves Please for the love of God, fix your buggy game. I've literally never experienced more game breaking bugs any other time than during bilgerats weekend.

    @SeaOfThieves Every time I tried to load it up it would disconnect almost instantly, spawned in disconnected, stepped foot on the ship disconnected

    @SeaOfThieves While we’re on the topic, why are we sticking to the outdated supply issues rather than adjusting their entire purchase method? Add a spawn location for items next to cannon barrels, just like tall tale items on the tables so purchases go there rather than fix the merchants.

    @SeaOfThieves your game is now trash and plagued by swarms of cheaters. I get you just ban them cause cheaters are happy to buy multiple copies of the game so its a + for your revenue, but how about just fixing the issue instead of being money hungry pigs that cover up pdf for a laugh,.

    @Blockeeeee @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Who do people like you always jump to a pseudo defense for a company? Who cares how much of this is performative? It's hes also exposing something then hes doing the right work. Being mad at him and not the issue at large... its weird dude.

  • Nemesis2K
    ꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reported

    Last ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 40+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

    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

  • Xyllius
    Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported

    @WazzaC92 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Other players have to put time and effort into multiple event weekends, while many players used this bug/glitch to buy everything right away, so these players (apparently including you) DID take advantage of that.

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd @Rare Adding to this its sad to see a game that was in my life since i was 15 fall so far as it has, why cant you fix bugs,remove the acts system and add more permant content instead of taking it away like molten sands, that was incredibly fun cause it used the trading companies

  • AboutSelphy
    AboutSelphy (@AboutSelphy) reported

    @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I barely play 1 day a week now down from 4. The game is great, but the studio’s actions are unacceptable. Protecting a predator, ignoring red flags, and silencing creators who spoke up is a horrific look for Rare. A corporate PR statement won't fix this. We need real answers. (i hope they will do something besides "We missed the mark)"
