Devil's Advocate (@DevilsAdvoc4t) reported@RareLtd your intentions are good, but if you can't ******* fix server merges in @SeaOfThieves, maybe don't force more of them, yeah? I'd rather choose to change servers than you try and kill it right as we're about to sell.

MixelPlx (@MixelPlx) reportedThroughout the years of Sea of Thieves, there has been so many attempts of exceptionally large creators that want to check it out with friends, just to be met by cheaters, or the most annoying behavior till they are forced to get off. This kind of **** has been going on for well over 3-4 years, as someone whose been hit personally by auto hopper, spamming of 100's of invites, targeted server ddos, dozens of times at this point. You learn to deal with it. Nothing you can do. Its annoying, and if someones determined, they will get you eventually. Now I'm no professional in advertising, but I feel like I got a good idea of how it works. When big or small creators, paid or not, are putting forth an opportunity to really set in motion some fresh eyes for your game, its best to start plugging some of these vulnerabilities so they can continue to play, or at least feel the need to. That's good business. So I mean with all sincerity, but what ******** is going on at HQ in which **** like this continues to happen? ITS BEEN YEARS OF THIS SAME BULLSHIT. You can have your own personal look on TheBurntPeanut, but when one of the biggest advertisers/creators, averaging 80-100k live viewers across 2 platforms, is constantly getting hit. What do you think that shows viewers, interested, in maybe checking out Sea of Thieves for the first time. First impressions are everything, and this **** ain't looking too good. #SeaOfThieves

THESPYHUNTER (@Hunterkillerst2) reported@SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Are you gonna fix the glitch that makes it where I can’t buy the new 4 Reapers heart weapons?
-
Vivo (@Vivoronte) reported@SeaOfThieves I also spied my eye on a little Peanut getting server DDOS'd with his friends and roughly 70k viewers..... Going to acknowledge the issue at hand? no? hmm ok... I used to Love and breath this game. It's truly sad and seems so far gone.
-
Shayxis (@Shayxis) reported@SeaOfThieves Disconnect from your actual player base as usual. Stop listening to streamers and players who spend their lives on the game. I barely had 8,000 doubloons before spending them all a month before the announcement of the reset.

NoName101 (@noob76052507) reported@SolanaD0C @ICTD_MIKE @SeaOfThieves we had bi-weekly fixes, at this time it really was hot-fixing. if its not lazy devs, what i really hope, it a major skill issue :(

Cpt Tifosi (@WazzaC92) reported@CaptMcGuffin @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves And its not really "individual". There is going to be a lot of people in the same boat who's bought everything because of this. It is a community problem with a larger effect on this content down the line that people probably dont realise currently
-
PELL 365 (@pell_colin) reported@SeaOfThieves The deed for act one for damaging someone with a cannonball in a faction battle is not working, I’ve damaged people multiple times and even killed someone with one, any chance we can get this addressed when possible? Thank you!
-
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? 🤔

DUBB3D (@__DUBB3D__) reportedThe recent decisions from the Sea of Thieves team has been unacceptable and quite frankly out of line. The more recent issues being Season 19, and the Blackwyche set releasing in the Emporium are the final straws on the camels back for a lot of players, myself included. More specifically, the way both of these situations have been handled is nothing short of disgraceful. I'm not talking about the team scrapping content from Season 19, but rather trying to keep the 3-Act structure, when we were just told by Drew that that formula does not work, yet it's still getting implemented. "Transparency" as a whole is something we have heard from the team almost every video it seems. However, it has become corporate speak rather than details of current problems (and what they're doing to fix it) as well as discussion of the large-scale full roadmap for the future plans of the game. This is highly alarming. We are far beyond the point of needing to be surprised for anything. PLEASE just tell us what you are going to do for the game and what is going on. We need full honesty and openness about what the team is doing to show that our valuable time is not being wasted like it currently is, and for overall improvement of game health. Of course the next community direct could be the start of seeing some future plans, but again, this needed to happen sooner (years ago) and it's honestly too late regardless of what happens now. We see Rare is underwater and profits are decreasing at an alarming rate. We see the team scrambling to push out any amount of half-baked content. The overall quality bar has been set so drastically low it is embarrassing. None of it has proper creative and intuitive lead like it used to and it leaves us with less and less for every update. The game does not feel as full or exciting as it used to, despite there being so much. Another huge problem, especially right now, are the community managers and moderators. So many of these people in the past have bullied, belittled, blocked, and flat out banned players for voicing their opinions. There needs to be a drastic change in this team in regards to how it is structured and how they are allowed to use their authority and operate. I am not wishing for anyone to get fired, but rather repositioned to a different role, because managing a community and handling feedback is obviously not in their skill set. Some people in particular are J0toro and Shirah, who have been the worst when it comes to this. It feels like they have no boss watching or directing what they do and it has been like this for years. They are on a super loose leash and it feels like they are completely separate from the rest of the leadership team. They speak and act on what they feel and what they want and it is super bad. These people SHOULD NOT be the public representation of Rare, specifically Sea of Thieves at all. There is also a MASSIVE disconnect between how Rare views Sea of Thieves, and how the players view Sea of Thieves. Yes, it is Rare's game and Microsoft's IP, but our wants and needs as the players who actually spend time in the game needs to be paramount in decision making in the future. In short, what I am trying to say, is that Rare and specifically the directors of Sea of Thieves need to either get this game back on course before it is too late, or announce that they are working on Sea of Thieves 2. People only speak up because they care. If nobody spoke up in the face of problems, then it would be even worse than it is now. The fact that still so many people voice their opinions is a good thing, so please stop censoring us or just flat out ignoring us. #SeaOfThieves

SickStyle Gaming (@SickstyleG) reported@SeasOfThieves #seaofthieves fix the harpoon in for hell sake. Season 20 fixed harpoon. That's all we want.

DictatorZNorth (@z_dictator) reportedSome 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

Average Vibes (@AverageVibeMan) reported@SeaOfThieves A Sword will not fix your game. Sorry not sorry

𐌃𝖴𐌁 (@GoodfellaDub_) reportedLooking at these reviews for @SeaOfThieves on Xbox and A LOT of them want the same thing. A PVE mode where you can play with friends. I don’t understand why this is a bad thing. Remove safer seas. Make that an “Invite only” server and allow up to 6 boats. Problem solved.

JayBlu (@JayBlu45) reported@PCMonkfish @SeaOfThieves It reallt isnt. Especially since you can open up one of the vaults to get another ashen key 3 on the garrisons aint an issue. But apparently the "Devs" think otherwise
-
Jerikko (@TJerikko) reported@HitboTC @SeaOfThieves I used to play City of Heroes. They introduced player created content. It was fun for about 3 months. And it will be fun to see what, you and other streamers come up with in these servers. The issues will start when the rest of us want into the private server(s) to play in your world. Servers limit ships to 6, is this the same for Private (rhetorical)? I like the idea, but fear that they (the devs) are currently throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.
