    My dreams of wanting to be partners with SoT has long since died. I'm not supporting a group of folks that sweep important issues under the rug, victim blame, hide behind rules feel like "rules for thee not for me." There are too many rats and not enough cats #seaofthieves

    @knglover @SeaOfThieves This is what they want to fix! Player engagement/random encounters is KING in SoT

    blvcklung (@real_blvcklung) reported

    With everything going on in the SoT community right now, it’s been really disappointing to see certain creators and familiar faces either show their true colours or stay completely silent, It’s honestly horrible seeing how broken parts of this community really are. #SeaOfThieves

    @CaptainQuaa @SeaOfThieves Sadly , Shrouded ghost is gatekeep beside a RNG game mechanic and Spawn timer mechanic. Rarity is not the trouble , but how meg spawn is the main issue ... Arround 1h45 to get a single meg .... and only 0.02 % of chance to get the great one.

    @SeaOfThieves Double xp really not working?, hopefully I'll find out soon if I win here.

  • MagmaBoots

    Is it just me, or is everyone experiencing terrible frame drops in #SeaOfThieves lately? I have a pretty decent PC setup, but my frames are dying whenever I’m fighting a Burning Blade or completing Ashen Garrisons. The lag when opening barrels and crates seems to be back as well. Looking back at old game clips, it used to run smooth as butter. Will it ever feel that way again? @SoT_Support

    @Slimey_Pigeon @SeaOfThieves Insider I asked about the issue for those that have color blindness. I know of a few individuals that might be affected. But how would you suggest to fix it .. the is sound and color and a warning pop up I think. .. Honestly it would be cool to see the effect even for customseas

    @squidkiller8781 @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves well look, cheaters aren't really a big problem now. There were less of them than the actual number of bugs. They made them "grind" to be able to play Hourglass, so most risks their main profile in the process or completely given up on playing with those. (Yes on PC)

  • BlueFieldAbove
    Blue Field Above (@BlueFieldAbove) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You reset my doubloons. I am struggling to find out why you think that means I would want to return to the game? Can anybody on the dev team explain that to me? Why would I slog through your broken matchmaking system and buggy servers just to earn what I had, back?

  • LordofCh8os
    LordofCh8os (@LordofCh8os) reported

    I’ve run into cheaters maybe a handful of times over the years. @SkeleCurseIRL is absolutely right, #seaofthieves doesn’t have a cheater problem, it has a perception problem. The lack of game knowledge has people calling cheats for what is just really good gameplay

  • VenomousSloth7
    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? 🤔

  • DayKahDos
    DK2️⃣ (@DayKahDos) reported

    @SeaOfThieves One of the major issues with this event is the lack of frequency combined with the inability to earn doubloons almost at all now in between these weekends. The cap of 3 voyage completions before it gives gold is lame as well. Also server performance was TERRIBLE (fireworks?)

  • SirNyros
    Nyros (@SirNyros) reported

    Please I beg you, PLEASE FIX this Cannon De-Synch happening right now. Cannons are completely out of Control especially in Hourglass when both Masts are down. 50/50 that your cannons actually land where you shoot them. @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support #SeaOfThieves

  • Coppertailwolf
    Copper (@Coppertailwolf) reported

    @SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves The black and white is signal enough. I can’t believe that made it to a more prominent side of hourglass. I imagine that’s wildly triggering to a lot of people with any form of inner ear issue or sensitivity. Like who wants one long high pitch tone in your ear for 5 mins. Even if you don’t have sensory issues absolutely no one likes that haha

    @Gamepi31 @IMadyax @SeaOfThieves They have been on this game since 2018 - they should know by now how long they need - and also the issues were not anything like as bad as this in the first few years!

  • VenomousSloth7
    Venom (@VenomousSloth7) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Great actually. I have been playing other games and havent plyed since January. I keep checking but continue to see the devs are just as incompetent as always! To those playing, your complaints are being heard but they dont care and it will continue to be a broken mess

    @SeasOfThieves #seaofthieves fix the harpoon in for hell sake. Season 20 fixed harpoon. That's all we want.

    @Game7DS @SeaOfThieves Applying for partner would be so amazing. It’s unfortunate to see this disconnect block me from it. Hoping this is addressed!

    @SoT_Support @Jumper92PL @SeaOfThieves I'm seeing reports that yall are just literally ignoring tickets about this issue. And apparently the support people are removing the items cause they 'simply can't understand how someone can get all those items' even when shown they were reset and farmed the items. Do better

  • 82hoosier
    Shucks (@82hoosier) reported

    @TippToppHansiI @SeaOfThieves @theburntpeanut Yeah i've played 4-5 days now. 2 of those days i was booted offline. One of those days it happened 20 times. Not sure how anyone defends this. And bad connections effect solo players even more because they have a razor thin margin of error to begin with.

  • CptEasty
    East (@CptEasty) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves , i would like to know what you can do about our hourglass glitch, im playing with my son and friends, about to get him his first 4 streak in HG when we spawn into a match about 100m in the sky with our boat flying a mile away from us, unable to move streak lost

  • Game7DS
    Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reported

    @Toast205 @LordofCh8os @SeaOfThieves Reportedly DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. Isn't the first time it's been seen either.. Both Peanut situations specifically have been within a hour.

  • OphieIRL
    OphieIRL (@OphieIRL) reported

    @CrustySockPuppy @SeaOfThieves This is a reasonable response. My perspective is that the issue of player safety has been talked about over and over again using the framework they provided both in the ticket system and in the partner discord. Nothing changed, it was ignored.

  • Europpa3
    Europpa (@Europpa3) reported

    @IamGreen112 @SeaOfThieves So, players who exploited this got to keep everything, those who were affected by the glitch got items deleted, and you're stuck between a rock and a hard place of having to earn them, and having items taken away. Schrodinger's Doubloons-- their here and not here at same time lol

  • Game7DS
    Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reported

    @DalannaPlays @SeaOfThieves Regardless of what happened tonight Streamer mode should be a thing anyway for basic protection... It's a common thing on other games. Post wasn't entirely about Peanut though, its been a issue for multiple creators for 8 Years..

  • z_dictator
    DictatorZNorth (@z_dictator) reported

    Some didn't like #SeaOfThieves by @theburntpeanut Which of the three options would have been better? 1) Cheaters crash server 2) 8 hours of boring empty sea sailing + one battle against AFK solo-loop 3) HG where they'll be sunk so quickly they won't even know what happened

  • Game7DS
    Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reported

    @Nathanonfire2 @SeaOfThieves It wouldn't fix the problem indefinitely but it would help a lot... with how often the game crashes you shouldn't have to worry about your name getting leaked on the main menu... Trying to do something is better then nothing.

  • SNAF_ftw

    peanut can play CS2 with no issues... cant play @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support with out an issue. Yall MISSED THE MARK per drew.
