    @funudge @SeaOfThieves He was having the glitch that prevents you from grabbing things. He was so frustrated about the timing

  • apoc_brian Apoc (@apoc_brian) reported

    @1Chenzo @SeaOfThieves problems, bright *** mermaids, and often times i dont run from galleons because there isnt a point, why start fighting the wind if there's no outpost in sight, most galleons ur gonna see are thristy asf and running from them is only delaying the inevitable.

  • hirostroud arfon james (@hirostroud) reported

  • Esteban_daBlack Estebaño (@Esteban_daBlack) reported

    @CandiceLikesYou @SeaOfThieves Um, just because you suck at it doesn't mean it's broken.

  • Magnus73187837 Magnus (@Magnus73187837) reported

    @RequiemServer @SeaOfThieves Remove all bugs and errors with the servers, sincer its the worst paret about the whole game.

  • CandiceLikesYou C A N D I C E (@CandiceLikesYou) reported

    Over the weekend, myself and Moos attempted to do the @SeaOfThieves Tall Tales for Pirates of the Caribbean and, yeah, they're still really broken. Having to reset the Sunken Pearl over and over and it still not work -- just deflated us. We'll try again in a few weeks.

  • Oli1917 Oliver (@Oli1917) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @MystCasual Please fix the server issues

  • V1RUSx_ Makarov (@V1RUSx_) reported

    Hello, excuse me but there will not be such a problem on the servers @SeaOfThieves ? When selling items we get 0 Gold, 0 Reputation, and the holdings do not count either, test several times on different servers.

  • cutfrom factcheckUK 🇮🇪🇪🇺✊🏿🍊🍊🍊🇵🇸 (@cutfrom) reported

    Why are there "issues affecting services" so I can't see which emissary flag I need to fly? @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves

  • JohnFugere10 John (@JohnFugere10) reported

    @itsgazhere @AbusivPillow Use me as a dislike button, game has been out for a while and the same bugs still exist that did in the beginning. Other devs and game companies know how to fix things Rare does not. They also only listen to the adventure community that's why combat stinks #seaofthieves

  • geoxine696 Tygs (@geoxine696) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I am having issues with the game? Not sure if others are getting this, but the Captains of the damned tall tale won’t start. When going through the portal, it loads us at another server’s outpost... Haven’t 3 or 4 times in a row...
