  • Crispybiscuit88 Crispy. (@Crispybiscuit88) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Did you guys shut servers down early?

  • NayfePacewell 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Nayfe P 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #PrideMonth (@NayfePacewell) reported

    @SeaOfThieves If the servers are down, it's not a "hot fix"! Cmon guys.

  • PhillipWillow Storytime With Priest (@PhillipWillow) reported

    @SeaOfThieves another day another console breaking glitch

  • TheRealHipturd Hipturd ™️ (@TheRealHipturd) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hopefully downtime will be a couple hours. Lets hope it doesnt take all day to fix it. I hope the crashing is fixed. I dig the X get vault key…run to ship and enroute…crash. On return…no chest…no vault key…1-2 hours sailed to get map parchment with X only to poof.

    @SeaOfThieves Y'all this better fix the birds that disappear when you arrive to them, and the sinking loot that vanishes when you get to it AND crash to home screen And the taking your clothes off,emotes and title when you die.

  • caner_coskun Caner Coskun (@caner_coskun) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves Forsaken Hunter first part, getting the letter part is still bugged. After we loot letter, it doesnt show and adventure cancels itself. Please fix, or postpone Forsaken Hunter's deadline from 14th July.

    @AustinJWoods @Sneeches1 @SeaOfThieves This is not a little work because you have to think about the mechanics that will make everything work. And you require such changes from the studio that has not been able to fix the hit reg for 4 years 6/6

  • Falcon59875668 Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @AustinJWoods @Sneeches1 @SeaOfThieves The problem is people will go to pve anyway. On pvevp, no one will want to make pve as it can be done easier on pve servers. Who cares about gold? On pve you will be able to farm commendations and faction ranks and ranking on the emissary much easier. 1/6

  • SnakeOfLordran Snake (@SnakeOfLordran) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix the damn servers, the past few days i've had consistent fluctuations between 60 and 1100 ping.

  • uniqueuser_0 Matt (@uniqueuser_0) reported

    @SeaOfThieves 10, hours me and my crew were doing ashen cargo when we found out that it was doubled (glitch) and we ended up doing all of it

  • M0JL1F David S-R (@M0JL1F) reported

    @IIMikezII @SeaOfThieves Sorry you seem to have misunderstood me. My issue is not with the servers going down when stated that they will. I understand that. It's when they go down, on the hour, an hour too early. Obviously someone keyed in the downtime wrong for the OCE region.

  • ParanoidPunky ParanoidPunky (@ParanoidPunky) reported

    @SeaOfThieves 2 different servers, restarting the game from both of us players (sloop) and trade routes are still glitchy by not letting us take any crates after purchase. It says press F but nothing happens. Anyone else having trade route issues?

  • Squizzolo - 𝑨𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂 - (@Squizzolo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Unsolicited game design advice: fix that damn portal hopping so that those idiots don't spawn near another ship with no chance to react. Yesterday someone literally spawned BESIDE my ship in the 10 seconds it took me to kill a skeleton captain on an island and turn around ffs.

  • pidge2571 Pidge2571 (@pidge2571) reported

    @frankcasillas50 @SeaOfThieves Had that issue myself, I was on with a couple of friends and jumped out the game and then back in and got the crate I bought.

  • M0JL1F David S-R (@M0JL1F) reported

    @EddieThe_Bear @SeaOfThieves Sorry mate, didn't mean to offend you at all. I just suspect there was a timing issue in the OCE region so I wanted to point that out.

  • DeanoSauruz DeanoSauruz (@DeanoSauruz) reported

    @TheCloudBeeTTV @SeaOfThieves “aCcoRdiNg tO yOuR TwItCh AcCoUnT” See the issue? Immediately try to go for something that has NOTHING to do with me not caring for PvP in Sea of Thieves. I could not have a Twitch acc and STILL have that opinion.

  • xtwiztidjayx X TwiZtiD Jay X (@xtwiztidjayx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Well I see ya didn't fix the crashes. 20 mins in and already crashed.

  • GoofytheScot Goofy The Scot (@GoofytheScot) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No fix for the constant crashing on Series X? :(

  • eltigre43_ Eltigre43 (@eltigre43_) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves is this next update going to fix Xbox series X crashes? I played for two hours and it crashed 4 times when it never crashed before.

  • Chris87md Chris C (@Chris87md) reported

    @tweengo1 @SeaOfThieves Everyone with an Xbox seems to be having this issue ever since the adventure coming out. Shyt is happening 2-3 times in one server it’s ridiculous

  • KnownAsJimothy TheyCallMeJimothy (@KnownAsJimothy) reported

    @TasherrToxic @SeaOfThieves Crash when there's nothing around!

  • chrishoulden86 Gibberish (@chrishoulden86) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hope it the instant dc fix so annoying

  • MinkRoyal RoyalMink (@MinkRoyal) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No fix/adjustment for the respawn timer?

  • Applenetwork6 Applenetwork (@Applenetwork6) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Ratio fix your game instead of chasing money

  • iDaddy_Got_SOLE Big Lu (@iDaddy_Got_SOLE) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Just tried to do the adventure solo and it disappeared in between Stephen's spoils and K9. Soon as I grab the letter to Merrick. The quest disappears off my table and quest wheel. Go to K9 and belle isn't there. Did this 2x so im sure. Plz fix so I can complete it b4 its gone.

  • TheRealHipturd Hipturd ™️ (@TheRealHipturd) reported

    @ItzKingCritical @SeaOfThieves If servers are down for more than two hours…its not a hot fix. If severs are down it better be for the season 7 update…or free emporium coins for the trouble

  • x_baboon Aggro Griff (@x_baboon) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Why are your servers down right now? It’s the 10th

  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @M0JL1F @SeaOfThieves They put up a warning on twitter two days ago about this, and there has been an in-game warning posted right at the top of the login screen too. It's on the players to pay attention and plan their sessions accordingly.
