  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @Aerohorse3 @SeaOfThieves In the first place, SoT's combat system does not work as the developers intended. Because there are many users who use Glitch, unfair games are being played so that new users can never beat them.

  • oMrJewbagelo MrJewBagel (@oMrJewbagelo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Our alliance be broken, our ship be sunken. With no sign of all our tokens. Battered and bruised what seems like forever, We take back what's ours but only together. Alas the fort was ours for the taken, but of course other pirates be haten....

  • Falcon59875668 Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @DrakeBG757 @requester47 @SeaOfThieves But problem is that you can master pve and it wont be a threat anymore. With pvp you know that there still can be better player so you are always under threat

  • Aerohorse3 Aerohorse3 (@Aerohorse3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Don’t expect to shots to count. Hit reg is a big problem and it’s an issue that prolly will never get fixed. Be prepared to deal with lots of try hards also. GG

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves "Rolls on deck." or "skill issue lol"

  • SmokeBeardTV NewYearNewBeardTV (@SmokeBeardTV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Twas the night before Update day, when all through the seas Not a game mechanic was stirring, not even Larinnas hollering . SoT players’ dreams were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that hit registrations fix would soon would be there.

    @SeaOfThieves once there was a lad mental issues to be had he saw a game anew, with pirate ships and crew he played for days and days eating fritos and lays he was fixated, true but soon in a week or two he saw another game that was way more lame 😒 but that’s the nature of his brain- pain.

    @DJTiDi @GH_Honamar @SeaOfThieves the problem is that many people tend to tell others what should and shouldn’t be considered funny, which is absolutely an individual statement. The same thing happens here, even tho You, and probably half of the population think it’s disgusting, the other half think it is funny

    @SeaOfThieves There was a pirate, unlike the rest He wasn’t skilled, nor was he the best He was anxious, and had trouble to speak Thought of himself as terribly weak Despite his flaws, his heart was kind Even as doubts clouded his mind And with a friend made of bone He called the sea his home

  • Dunceantix Dunceantix (@Dunceantix) reported

    @SeaOfThieves There once was a pirate called Dunce, Who would sit and fish for his lunch, His friend LZ, Would play Shanties, And thier ship would crash a bunch.

  • vTinkr . (@vTinkr) reported

    @NoahKel06918695 @SeaOfThieves All depends on where you que. I just hit level 100 yesterday in Guardians of Fortune. Most of my games were tuff but not bad. Just give the sbmm time and they already addressed fixing matchmaking times. It is hard to fix them when no one is playing hourglass.

  • HeadassHimself For Bastion! KIAI! (@HeadassHimself) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Even if you don’t like PVP, become good enough at it that you can defend the loot you earn from PVE. Running from PVP only delays the problem and the inevitable. Embrace it, even if you don’t actively seek out PVP, being able to defend your grind is a satisfying feeling

  • borizruben boriz larsen (@borizruben) reported

    Hey can you fix that we don’t get xp when we get spawn camped and sailed out the circle it’s kinda bumming me out @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd

  • Falcon59875668 Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @Realretrogamers @SeaOfThieves So thats the problem. I sunk on outpost only ones and that was becouse I was waiting for friends.

  • angrypoptart00 Michael Polcari (@angrypoptart00) reported

    @SeaOfThieves is it just me or is anyone else having issues with the game?

  • phantom_sailer capn’ phantom (@phantom_sailer) reported

    @XilkyKarr @SeaOfThieves I mean you barely get any rep from losing so I don’t see a problem with it imo

  • GogetaKurasaki Gogi (@GogetaKurasaki) reported

    @SeaOfThieves sea server down help how 2 play if unavailable

  • YazuFr Yazu23Fr (@YazuFr) reported

    @seaofthieves band of ****, since when the boat stops sailing when the kraken appears ???? Your game is full of bugs it's time to fix them!!!

  • Paul_Mathan .\paulmathan.ps1 (@Paul_Mathan) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Griefers can be a problem. I think protected waters that are patrolled by "The Royal Navy" would be a good gaming mechanic.

  • Tranny_Bitch Oog (@Tranny_Bitch) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Basically all you need to understand is that this is pirate game, the only issue is the majority of the playerbase takes 'being a pirate' wayyy to seriously.

  • gnawing_away gnawing_away (@gnawing_away) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can you fix US SERVERS????!!! There's absolutely no care at all for improvement to our US servers. Takes 30 minutes to find a match, thats ridiculous

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @rhys72224151 @demonofthecrows @SeaOfThieves There is no such thing as a lesson and a journey. It's just a repeat "deck on roll" and "skill issue" The lesson I learned from achieving level 200 is never to do the other person a favor and to knock them down while maintaining a thorough spawn kill.

  • RobPerricelli28 Rob Perricelli (@RobPerricelli28) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the matchmaking please. It says 2-4 minutes and I end up waiting 20+ min

  • flyfishersteven Flyfishersteven (@flyfishersteven) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your useless match making and remove the ability to form alliances when these hour glasses are activated. It’s crap right now

  • shenanigoon Floidberger Poison OyVey (@shenanigoon) reported

    @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves They need a full dev team. The 4 person kiddy pool they've been using since day one is a big problem.

  • Seb24816717 Salty-Redbull (@Seb24816717) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves @eurogamer I dont know a Game with Hit reg Problems. Is a Game changer. Bucket bug ist a Game chancer. I dont know a Game with worst serverperformance, ist a Game changer.

  • TheEmeraldYosh1 TheEmeraldYoshi (@TheEmeraldYosh1) reported

    @Hargalaten @SeaOfThieves I would be so much further if I didn’t have to wait 45 minutes to get a game just to loose cause open crew sword gang doesn’t die to my 4 one blunders, I guess just a skill issue tbh
