  • mshary_ar مشاريـ (@mshary_ar) reported

    @SeaOfThieves When will the Middle East region be supported by servers? We are many players and we have problems with ping

  • Zex_aka_Don I Shall Commit Seppuku (@Zex_aka_Don) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Shits broken an not only that every time it breaks we have to restart an deal with grifters an not only that but makes everything in barrels invisible an I restarted the game over an over about 5 time an no change make invite only servers you know this update broke the game

  • JamminGiant117 JamminGiant117 (@JamminGiant117) reported

    I hate the set up for the Hunter’s Cry Adventure in @SeaOfThieves. It sends you to a small close quarters area in the Sea of the Damned. The problem is that it sends other players to the same one as you, meaning you will have to deal with griefers instead of doing the Adventure.

  • GhostWarrior177 Trou Aldridge (@GhostWarrior177) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Me and my cousin are having an issue with the new adventure we go through the first portal get to the second one and it stops and sends us back to the outpost and when we try agaithe game just completely freezes

  • Ribbloid Nic🐸 (@Ribbloid) reported

    I think #SeaOfThieves #sot should probably have address their arena refugee problem before ever attempting this.

  • MRedeyes9 MrRedeyes19 (@MRedeyes9) reported

    @XboxWire @majornelson @SeaOfThieves It is broken can’t start it tried 7 times

  • LeMortaSavage LeMortaSavage (@LeMortaSavage) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I had issues getting through the portal, kept kicking back to the outpost, after the third try I finally got through and was able to complete it.

  • KingMyro Hunkulees (@KingMyro) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Every saved item I bought as a captain has now reset, and wants me to buy them all over AGAIN. Charging to save our loadouts was an awful idea in the first place (this should have been a free quality of life improvement) but now it's even worse. Fix incoming?

  • mikyu61773261 mikyu (@mikyu61773261) reported

    @IAmThatch @SeaOfThieves This is the same thing i cant even wrap my head around. Honestly wish they would fix this an add an anticheat software to lower the amount of hackers in the game.

  • HonkTactful TactfulHonk (@HonkTactful) reported

    @DarbyGlizzy @SeaOfThieves Smoke bombs would be fantastic thematically and gameplay-wise, I'll bet it's been on the Dev's radar. But, the servers barely cope as it is, and fog seems to be something that causes problems already, let alone if it's localised on a moving physics object. Servers would explode.

  • iamtygrah Tygrah (@iamtygrah) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Have to give you the honest answer. The whole adventure was done in about 10min. I climbed up, spoke to (without spoiling) someone to finish the adventure and got to the 2nd part which was... just sailing. I'm very disappointed. They'd rather fix the "known issues" in my opinion.

  • Bearnobjrn Björn Oddvar (@Bearnobjrn) reported

    @ElyaPog @SeaOfThieves I didn’t have that problem!

  • xadohesaruvi ACE #BlackLivesMatter (@xadohesaruvi) reported

    @Seery56 @SeaOfThieves My crew and I had to hop severs to get it to work. Either it s a pairing issue and there aren't any other crews running the adventure, or something else.

  • KingMyro Hunkulees (@KingMyro) reported

    @ShekelSean @SeaOfThieves I want them to not release broken messes in the first place. Playtesting is a thing

  • Jxwk18 Suu_Suu (@Jxwk18) reported

    ok so its been like 4 ******* years that your game is out @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support and the black screen bug IS STILL PRESENT!! so what have you guys been doing for 4 years, jerking off like always? fix your ******* game

  • ux92 ux92 (@ux92) reported

    @unsungwindham @epicsugarplumx @SeaOfThieves The problem is these adventures aim for cooperation between different crews in a game all about sinking each other's ships. Either make PvE servers or don't make time limited adventures where PvP can actively prevent you from completing them.

  • MadManMadrid A Madrid (@MadManMadrid) reported

    @realraphi1 @SeaOfThieves I had the same issue repeatedly.

  • Squishiestsquii James (@Squishiestsquii) reported

    @SeaOfThieves become a captain and.."There was a problem loading your ship selection. Try again shortly." all day everyday

  • KingMyro Hunkulees (@KingMyro) reported

    @Arkalay3 @SeaOfThieves Ideally, Rare would fix this, and refund what you spent as an apology. But it's Rare, so...yeah. Probably will have to pay again The idea of charging for something so basic is bizarre in the first place. They make some very poor decisions

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @epicsugarplumx @ClarenceDube @SeaOfThieves Same reason that there are commendations and cosmetics earned by sinking other ships and selling their stolen loot and broken emissary flags.

  • autonomicated Otto (@autonomicated) reported

    Fix your captaincy shipset saving .@SeaOfThieves I’ve already spent 300k+ just having to re-save customizations.

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @epicsugarplumx @ClarenceDube @SeaOfThieves Same reason that there are commendations and cosmetics earned by sinking other ships and selling their stolen loot and broken emissary flags?

  • guysmile_twitch Guy Smile (@guysmile_twitch) reported

    @TheDrKrazy @SeaOfThieves Yeah, tbh one of the main reasons I haven't done the new adventure. Watched another streamer today and they got a petty good group that worked together .... mostly. But I've heard a few that have had trouble with people trying to keep other crews from completing it

  • horse_papi_ Beezy (@horse_papi_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Isn’t down time for hotfixes generally meant to actually make progress to fix things? I’ve never seen a team so slow to fix so many pertinent issues in the game

  • TheEmeraldYosh1 TheEmeraldYoshi (@TheEmeraldYosh1) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I had no problems but that could be cause i did it when downtime ended so the spawncampers weren’t on yet, but the adventure itself was very fun

  • Treefittytwo Monkey Monkey (@Treefittytwo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Does this one lag the game like all the other trinkets? 6 ships?

  • JayReed51819969 Jay Reed (@JayReed51819969) reported

    @420J69 @killzone1401 @SeaOfThieves I think the problem here is your misunderstanding the game for what it is. You and many of the other PVE hype train. Simple solution is. Learn to fight (Naval/cqc) and you wont get sunk constantly. If you don't want that try Minecraft sandbox.

  • MRedeyes9 MrRedeyes19 (@MRedeyes9) reported

    @SeaOfThieves It’s broken it doesn’t work ffs time limited events are stupid just stop

  • vanishonichka1 vanishonichka 🕊️ bcs spoilers (@vanishonichka1) reported

    @OW5KIE @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Same problem

  • roberts25295504 robert smith (@roberts25295504) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Adventure still as broken as it was in its alpha stage. So unbelievable that 8 weeks of dev time delivered a half stable package.
