  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @StealingParcels @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves I've not once "cried" about servers going down, and with something like this they'd just fix it with a monthly update not ******* go "aight bois we take the servers down this instant to remove this thing that has probably never been used to get an advantage" hotfix or some ****

  • VetoStockonis Veto Stockonis (@VetoStockonis) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves I feel if they added a 5 min timer before you can set sail agian it would get rid of server hoppers and people hopping to form alliance servers which are both a problem rn, they could also make arena more rewarding to encourage the pvp community to play that instead.

  • GMVentus VentusGM (@GMVentus) reported

    @DoctorTM5 @SeaOfThieves Go to the arena, the problem is that pvp players don't want any loot, they want to f*ck others. I am chased everyday with my ship empty and without emisary flag.

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @Wesleyisleepy @SeaOfThieves I doubt it, I'm sure it'll just to be address the lag issues in servers as they're very unstable right now but we can hope it fix other issues along the way

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @ifr0ze @SeaOfThieves And I suppose you don't think any of that could be tweaked? It's not like there couldn't be a death tax or some other change, I'm not talking about adventure mode without players here. Problem is you only want to think of why it won't work, not use your imagination how it can

  • StealingParcels Parcel Thief (@StealingParcels) reported

    @CGallerine @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Funny breaking the game then you crying when they take down the servers to fix?

  • Dion39809893 Dion (@Dion39809893) reported

    @SeaOfThieves when is the insiders back online? Haven’t been able to login since last Friday

  • Ribcic rbcADHD (@Ribcic) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support the 2s lag everytime i alt+tab from/in game is there again. PLS hotfix that

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @AlecDevience @pirouette1991 @SeaOfThieves 1. You're only assuming there's no pve on adventure but that's easy to fix. 2. If pve mode bores you, who cares? It's not for you and you still have adventure. 3. If pvp guys all sink each other and nobody has loot that's actually their own fault.

  • _iPunisherX iPunisherX (@_iPunisherX) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Ridiculously broken. Why highlight a bug or an exploit?

  • whiskysin Owner (@whiskysin) reported

    @shaylikesstuff @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves like slip shooting yourself off a galleon or all the animation canceling glitches. maybe like looting running glitch. Nah none of it will be abused lol

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @_iPunisherX @SeaOfThieves They probably fix it. Why not have some fun in the meantime or is that not allowed?

  • nuzo0 nuzo (@nuzo0) reported

    @SeaOfThieves servers down bruh really? just lost 27 FOTDs, 8 vaults, 3 normal forts, 2 ashen winds and pvp loot, Im DONE, no warnings no nothing, daily reminder: private servers: should give gold and rep!!! Im tired of being outplayed by better players, sword should be mandatory!

  • Kharjo19 Kharjo (@Kharjo19) reported

    @tyfewn @the_samleeann @SeaOfThieves But they have seperate teems on these things and its probably easier to supply cosmetics than it is to fix broken parts of the game. They need to fund that work so the PE does that. I may be wrong but the bugs are not ruining the game just yet. They are always working on it.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Because it's funny. They'll probably fix it, it's just in the mean time, why not?

  • Snuggy41943599 Snuggy (@Snuggy41943599) reported

    @JaiDeliete @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves I mean they fly upwards. If it could be used to launch you forwards then that’s a different story. But no I don’t really see that much of a problem with it

  • Industrywatchd1 Industrywatchdog (@Industrywatchd1) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Wait until a "high profile" (yeuch) streamer gets killed and sunk by someone flying with a keg then it will be nothing but uproar, rage and calls to ban whoever sunk them for abusing a glitch.

  • Maxime_lgf Maxou (@Maxime_lgf) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves fix hitreg please :)

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @JiHlisnikovsk1 @SeaOfThieves They're update times are based on English times, so that's not really they're problem tbf

  • JamesBo79213102 James Bond (@JamesBo79213102) reported

    @SeaOfThieves YOUVE BEEN UPDATING FOR 1 HOUR I DONT THINK THERE IS AN ISSUE EVEN THERE IS WHY SO LONG!!!! AN IDEA FOR YOU LATER ON IF YOUR GONNA DO UPDATE DO IT LOCALHOST THEN UPLOAD ALL SO YOU KNOW THERE IS NO ISSUE!

  • KobyMiller8 Koby Miller (@KobyMiller8) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No problem lol

  • shaylikesstuff Shay (@shaylikesstuff) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves like is anytime someone demonstrates something silly or cool that they found or did just a desire to gain social capital? As for exploiting this to attack other players. If this becomes a problem, ill change my tune, but im not fundamentally opposed to using glitches to tech

  • Zach89358725 imevoshock (@Zach89358725) reported

    @Cook123Death @Critical_Rabbit @SeaOfThieves Yer that's if they fight the problem with brigs is they run 80% of the time

  • Just_Pizzle JustPizzle (@Just_Pizzle) reported

    Anyone who plays @SeaOfThieves on pc suddenly have your gpu fans run at 100% speed when playing today? I played on Saturday without any issues at all. I haven't had any updates and my drivers are all up to date and this is the only game causing this issue.

  • Crimsfck crumBellum (@Crimsfck) reported

    @sodano_matthew @killzone1401 @SeaOfThieves Actually this, way too many pacifists and casual players thinking they know what's good for the game. Arena has never been more toxic and these days I can't go 10 rounds without someone writing essays in my "eggsbogs" dms. Maintenance better fix lag and 3 diff hitreg or it gg.

  • shaylikesstuff Shay (@shaylikesstuff) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves alright. fair enough. I disagree, but i respect your opinion and hope that this doesn't become a problem in the future.

  • DanielBra62 Daniel Bra (@DanielBra62) reported

    @SeaOfThieves guys I still can't connect, I get lavenderbeard error, tried restarting, adding exception and still nothing.

  • xMishari7 Mishari (@xMishari7) reported

    @SeaOfThieves its still not working for me

  • Wesleyisleepy WheezerBean (@Wesleyisleepy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I hope this will fix that glitch when you have loot in the rowboat, after rowing for a certain distance, all the loot dissapears and you have to destroy the rowboat to get it to re-appear
