Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • sleepyflew Bea (Commissions Open) 🐝 (@sleepyflew) reported

    @strchv @SeaOfThieves This happened to me and my crew after we finished the first tale the other day. We were thrown off of our ship and it kept sailing onwards without us. It seemed to fix itself after we scuttled it. But, we had the same issue last night doing Order of The Souls. (1/2)

  • SoulKiingBrook Soul King Brook (@SoulKiingBrook) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR GAME IVE TRIED DOING THE SUNKE PEARL TALL TALE LIKE 5 TIMES BUT ANOTHER CREWS TALL TALE KEEPS OVERLAPPING WITH OURS AND WE CANT ******* PROCESS WITH THE TALL TALE IVE HAD TO LEAVE AND REJOIN SO MANY ******* TIMES ITS A JOKE

  • CapCabbagepatch Captain Cabbagepatch (@CapCabbagepatch) reported

    @SoulKiingBrook @SeaOfThieves Yeah we've had it to where the room is full of water. So it gets broken there. So you can do it at the same time as someone else but not that part...

  • georgemspiggott gEORGe M sP1GGOTt (@georgemspiggott) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why was it shipped like this in the first place? You new it was broken. Dead. Men. Tell. No. Tales. Nor do the internal testers by the look of it.

  • Lilitica_ Lilitica 🌸 Vtuber 📌 Bday pinned! (@Lilitica_) reported

    That moment when you really had to go afk and come back to being kicked out of @SeaOfThieves and you have to redo the entire story that you've just done!? WELL that's one way to **** this up. Seems I'm not playing Pirates of the Caribbean until they fix this :') #SeaOfThieves

  • knglover Knglover (@knglover) reported

    @Benwright311 @SeaOfThieves PLEASE READ......THEY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE THIS MORNING AND SAID THEY'RE WORKING ON A FIX RIGHT NOW. #yourtweetisunnecessary

  • RealAndroidgal AndroidGal ⭕🎮 (@RealAndroidgal) reported

    @ryry14687 @SoulKiingBrook @SeaOfThieves It's 100% broken. If you have another crew there then it won't work for one of you. There's certain things, events, items etc that can't be spawned twice for two crews or however many are there.

  • Benwright311 Fliss’ tweets carry (@Benwright311) reported

    @SeaOfThieves PLEASE FIX THE SECOND TALL TALE

  • Jaylothengineer JAYLO 🎚🔊 (@Jaylothengineer) reported

    @SeaOfThieves cant wait till someone else makes a pirate game, cause you are the most incompetent developers ive ever experienced. Idk how @Disney approved any of this broken ****.

  • JayJayMelonVT Jayden Bakasaru 🐒 EN Vtuber 🐒Monke (@JayJayMelonVT) reported

    @Lilitica_ @SeaOfThieves Yeah having to do it each time and repeat a whole process over again is complete ***, they definitely need to fix this as soon as possible.

  • DakVincil Dakota Vincil (@DakVincil) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Or you could fix hit reg instead of trying to take the pvp out of a pvp online game lmao

  • Fennomenal1 Fennomenal (@Fennomenal1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Alongside this, although your already aware, 'Sunken Pearl' is also incredibly broken and buggy, with a poor lack of guidance, leaving me and my friends very confused, alongside us using all the cannonballs for the crew behind us, who were stuck in the boss with no supplies (2/?)

  • SoulKiingBrook Soul King Brook (@SoulKiingBrook) reported

    @ryry14687 @SeaOfThieves It's over lapping so I cant continue how is it not broken

  • ryry14687 Ryan Sefton 🐻 (@ryry14687) reported

    @SoulKiingBrook @SeaOfThieves "Fix your game" lol. Nothing about that is broken its just the way its designed. Anyway you can do it the same time as another crew.

  • Mozzla_ Dylan (@Mozzla_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves It just annoying going all the way down and get killed and spawn on the other side of the map, I've even went to different servers and still get the issue so hopefully you guess get it fixed soon

  • JayJayMelonVT Jayden Bakasaru 🐒 EN Vtuber 🐒Monke (@JayJayMelonVT) reported

    @Lilitica_ @SeaOfThieves Xbox is much older vs pc which came out in like last august so theres a chance it might get fixed??? Hopefully but I bet that theres someone/some video talking how to fix it or something. Ive been meaning to get it on pc cuz it looks fun to play with friends!

  • SpectralRose Rose Levire (@SpectralRose) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Short of making it instanced somehow I understand you can't do a ton about griefers, so focusing on making things reset properly behind crews so those behind them don't get screwed over I think is the higher priority fix.

  • SonofNorsemen Mike (@SonofNorsemen) reported

    @SeaOfThieves there is a problem with shooting yourself out of cannons. Sometimes you will be shot straight up instead of out where the cannon is pointed.

  • JoeMondfrans Joe (@JoeMondfrans) reported

    @BananaBoyardee @SeaOfThieves No need to elaborate further..? No need to warn people about the issue they could run it o completely and utterly ruining their experince...? Yea ok your a smart guy.

  • tormiline TormilineYT (@tormiline) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix game

  • mcsockface1 mcsockface (@mcsockface1) reported

    @Wefey_ @SeaOfThieves Why don’t you fix it then

  • JoeMondfrans Joe (@JoeMondfrans) reported

    @mathias_monsen @SeaOfThieves Comments aren’t rare bud. What there comments are mean nothing unless it comes directly from the developer. When a company doesn’t put the issue its because they don’t want to scare away people. Simple PR strategy

  • Ignacio02027359 skeleking (@Ignacio02027359) reported

    @ScuzMB @StefiHeartlilly @SeaOfThieves Oh, so i can't look at tweets or replies to see if anyone else got problems with the tall tale? K

  • Riannstein 🦋⏳ (@Riannstein) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I encountered a bug yesterday, after I had completed “a pirates life “ my ship kept rejecting me and even after I scuttled it and spawned on an island, I fell through the ship, I couldn’t sail it or even board it at all :( please fix this! I can’t play otherwise

  • AlwayzBlegend @AlwayzBlegend (@AlwayzBlegend) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Im on that Tall Tale now, should i not work on completing it until the issues are fixed?

  • JayJayMelonVT Jayden Bakasaru 🐒 EN Vtuber 🐒Monke (@JayJayMelonVT) reported

    @Lilitica_ @SeaOfThieves Do you have it for pc? Cuz the pc version only came out recently if I recall but wow. I wonder if other people have found a fix or something cuz thats beyond stupid

  • sleepyflew Bea (Commissions Open) 🐝 (@sleepyflew) reported

    @strchv @SeaOfThieves We were fighting ghost galleons while it happened. We tried to siren back, scuttle our ship, etc. Nothing worked. The only fix is to restart the game right now. It sucks but whatever, lol. (2/2)

  • Genvylure Ruzu (@Genvylure) reported

    @Dangerdeathclaw @SeaOfThieves I guess I get what you mean. It certainly makes a lot more sense than PvE servers. Thing is, none of the tall tales force PvP. The big issue right now is that everyone is doing them. So everyone who needs the pearl for example is all crowded around. Give it a week or two.

  • cuddle_monsterz CuddleMonsterz (@cuddle_monsterz) reported

    @SeaOfThieves So whats the word on this "Marblebeard" issue? cause this is the second time i've had to completely restart a tall tale and buy all my supplies again. I JUST WANT TO FINISH PIRATES LIFE T_T

  • Under_Ach1ever It's Leo! and 1,987,321 others (@Under_Ach1ever) reported

    @SerenityNPX @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I've been playing with VRR on and haven't seen it once. I feel like I've notice framepacing issues or something where if I didn't have VRR, it would tear, though.
