    @AlmtyChcknPoo "We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well." - You are obsessed.

    @FROTTOLEE @SeaOfThieves They should start by removing the one thing that connects silly pirate game to the real world. The pride bullshit. That is the catalyst for some of the most sick and vile people to flock towards SoT. The usual culprits are the flag pushers. They are a massive part of the problem, that very small, very vocal clique of players whom should not be trusted blindly in positions of power.

    @SeaOfThieves The fact that the game is this old and you guys still can't figure out how to release an update says something about the dev team. If I was this bad at my job, I definitely wouldn't have 19 seasons to fix it

    @SeaOfThieves @XBOX For ages I've tried to get a replacement or fix for my gold plated version of that gold hoarder tablet. I never got a reply from the responsible party.

    @surivSHANKS @ITZH4ZARD @SeaOfThieves The problem is not the orange association box, its the purple confirmed cheater box. No idea how they got that information though.

  • AboutSelphy

    Some @SeaOfThieves viewers/streamers really need a reality check on what cheating actually looks like. Watched a streamer get sniped 3x in an hour today. The fights were suspicious (insane air shots, constant mid-air hits, etc.), but the chat was screaming "cheater" for things that were easily debunked. Ladder speeds were normal on VOD, and "insta-kills" were just players not being full HP. It’s easy to lose cool live, but we have to analyze before we accuse. Grateful the streamer kept a level head. The REAL issue? Public sites still exist that track specific players and server ship counts. How is this still live after a months? Cloudflare should be handing over data for a lawsuit at this point. Hoping this reaches the right eyes. @ChappersChapman @S0nicbob

    @SkyrageUk @CODE_3CH0 @SeaOfThieves Thats actually a completely different reason... on discord servers you can discuss issues till the mods ban you.... in my case, tiktok support line has been fully ai and you can't get thru to a human or even get actual answers cause they ai is too under developed... hope that you

    @SeaOfThieves Every time I tried to load it up it would disconnect almost instantly, spawned in disconnected, stepped foot on the ship disconnected

    @SeaOfThieves @BigKlevin Would have been great to see peanut 🥜 play but too bad you guys couldn’t prevent a DDos attack would have been huge for the community just guessing angry people with flags in their bios!

    @JayBlu45 @VoicemasterTV @SeaOfThieves Yeah because a Gally chasing a sloop around the sea for 45 minutes is soooooo fun. 4-6 vs 1 is not a skill issue, and get better or get lost is so childish it’s almost maddening!

    Is the matchmaking for Last ship standing broken ? I cant find anything for past 30 minutes. multiple sessions stuck in waiting for other crews @SeaOfThieves

    @crudmasterTV @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob Do you mean like a counter? 🤔 Honestly, I had no problem knowing how many ships were left because the arena shrank very quickly, so you could always see how many ships were in the area. The new arena isn't that big.

  • Nemesis2K
    ꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reported

    Last ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 40+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep playing. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

    @BocaG @Christi19879853 @SeaOfThieves It would literally hurt no one to make safer seas the full experience or just having private severs. They say its PvP game but the PvP aspect is whats the problem. Outside of janky hit boxes, there's no natural progress in skill when it comes to PVP. Thr gap is huge.

    @RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Same. I quit sot when they removed quickswap and made all combat clunky as a result of the fix, i will not come back to sot but i still follow the game, i played sot since 2018 until season 10 religiously, all my friends quit around that time too.

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves This is so bad. Almost as bad as when I was attacked for giving feedback in Alpha when the rainbow flag was put in the game. I thought it would cause issues for a game I loved, and it has. (That was a private forum) Yet it was shared all over Twitter and I was attacked brutally.

  • Xyllius
    Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported

    @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves I would agree if the issue would be WITHIN the game, but this is OUTSIDE of the game mostly, on social channels. Again, cut-off people involved and close the discord server until things are solved. People that are responsible are mostly dangerous on these platforms.

    @SeaOfThieves Still a broken game. Go figure.

    Matt (@Sloopflex) reported

    I don’t make a lot of comments about sot issues but it is truly baffling to me how much the SoT community is blowing up right now and Rare is staying silent and dodging it. Action needs to be taken. Do better @SeaOfThieves and you need to FIRE @j0toro

    @KBoldZiel @SeaOfThieves What a shocker, SoT released yet another THIRD OF A SEASON AFTER DELAYS and it's broken. Can't protect their community, can't code their game, can't do anything but dump more things into Emporium. This game used to be so much better.

    @Blockeeeee @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Who do people like you always jump to a pseudo defense for a company? Who cares how much of this is performative? It's hes also exposing something then hes doing the right work. Being mad at him and not the issue at large... its weird dude.

    @fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves I think Sea of Thieves has bigger problems right now than the engine it runs on

  • SweetSandMan
    SweetSandman (@SweetSandMan) reported

    @supermariopla11 @SeaOfThieves That's...that's not what's causing server performance to suck. Like at all. Preventing expansion of the game, maybe. But not server issues. If anything, high end PCs with uncapped FPS and/or max graphics cause more server strain. But even that isn't the underlying issue.
