meagan (@xmeaganxttv) reportedHilarious watching @theburntpeanut play @SeaOfThieves showcasing the bullshit players have been dealing with for YEARS on the big screen. Fix your damn game @RareLtd Coming from a year 1 player. Glad I uninstalled.

IRL_Games (@IRLGames4) reported@Xbox @Mr_Dishyy Can’t wait to hide @SeaOfThieves and the broken achievements…
-
Captain BlackeyeThe2nd (Yo/Ho) (@BlackeyeThe2nd) reported@BananaStove @SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves The problem is that making the sword more available WASNT what we wanted. I wanted MORE than FIVE items to commemorate our time. I just didn't want the rewards to stop at 4k doubloons. Am I too greedy asking for, like, doubloon boots? Gimme some Doubloots for 10k or sumn, idk.
-
Venom (@VenomousSloth7) reported@SeaOfThieves Is Custom Seas gonna make regular server feel even more dead? Are hackers gonna be able to access it and crash it so that larger streamers cant even play it? Is it gonna be a buggy mess like the game is? 🤔
-
AboutSelphy (@AboutSelphy) reportedSome @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. It’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

SwordSandwich (@HansSprungfild) reported@ZaiziusYT @SeaOfThieves @BehavingBeardly open crew gally is broken right now. Try Brig or sloop.

DRB (@DavidRichardB00) reported@SeaOfThieves So we gotta wait about 4 hours. And then we get beard errors all day when playing or logging in? Lol. Jk.
-
Kenny Cain (@KennyCain13384) reported@SeaOfThieves Still ignoring the VERY broken hourglass exploit tho that has existed for nearly 3 years letting people get the 1k curses in under a day.

Rodney Allstein (@A4285455594739) reported@SeaOfThieves Drew, you got a ton of things to fix
-
DavidG185 (@tctt185_dg) reported@SeaOfThieves Is it just me or am I getting unstable ping issues with this game over that weekend? I know I live in Australia, but my internet connection is stable and that is on Xbox Series X. 🫤
-
🪄📚✨ (@imabookwyrm) reported@daxingtontf @GreedoGaming @SeaOfThieves Honestly, I don’t see how that’ll help. The game will always have problems because some people sink and cry that hackers sunk them, when in actuality it was a better opponent. Not everyone is hacking to get a one up on others.

MasterMind (@Master_Mind_97) reported@SeaOfThieves @xStefina fix the game please , lag spikes are insane after the update
-
Boiled Ideas (@Boiled_Ideas) reported@KennyCain13384 @SeaOfThieves They never fix exploits, the just kick the ball down the road. That video they put out earlier pissed me off. Such a stupid ******* dev team.
-
Fledder (@CalebFerraro) reported@betta_rdr2 @SeaOfThieves What in the broken physic slop is this?
-
Wabba (@TheWabbaJackG) reported@SeaOfThieves Anyone else having issues redeeming this on xbox? Just gets stuck opening the store
-
Tonic Taz (@TonicTaz) reported@SeaOfThieves Can you fix the flag one already? When i hit start now it just takes me back to main screen on PC and mobile.

- ̗̀Ｚ ̖́- (@Zairin__) reported@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.

Riffrah (@riffofseas) reported@SeaOfThieves Can you fix the hackers in hourglass or that disregarded while people get banned for actual **** all
-
Slimey Pigeon (@Slimey_Pigeon) reported@SkeleCurseIRL @SeaOfThieves Holy **** I have a problem. I wish I DIDNT look this up.
-
𐌃𝖴𐌁 (@GoodfellaDub_) reportedLooking at these reviews for @SeaOfThieves on Xbox and A LOT of them want the same thing. A PVE mode where you can play with friends. I don’t understand why this is a bad thing. Remove safer seas. Make that an “Invite only” server and allow up to 6 boats. Problem solved.
-
Isak (@kukizen1) reported@SeaOfThieves fix your game fellas servers are dying
-
Brian Wilkinson (@wilk0075) reported@SeaOfTrunkerz @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Bottle glitch, please do tell
-
ShamanMcLamie (@ShamanMcLamie) reported@SeaOfThieves My biggest problem with stuff like this is that it is after the fact. I get if something is limited time to get, but if there is no heads up that there would be any reward. People who would grind these things out wouldn't do it.
-
Eli Mayorga (@EliMayorga7) reported@SeaOfThieves You need to ******* fix PVP me and my friend are doing PVP and another ******* sloop that's not doing PVP come over and sinks us. How is this ******* fair when someone else comes over and ruins PVP FIX ******* PVP! @SeaOfThieves
-
Blue Field Above (@BlueFieldAbove) reported@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.
