    @SeaOfThieves "The man that is always there to console me when I blundie bomb myself to fix whichever bug I got" He really gets me.. Soul Mates? Pun intended.

    @SeaOfThieves My whole crew has problems of varying severity with this.

    @MixelPlx @SeaOfThieves I like how throughout all the bullshit things that have been broken for years now, such as cannons not working at all at times, masts being impossible to raise to repair after getting downed, hit-registration most importantly, and this is what people are complaining about, yikes.

  • kerr_griffin
    Griffin Kerr (@kerr_griffin) reported

    @Zero_Demon_King @BrodeRepicky @SeaOfThieves I already do that, that shouldn't have to be an execuse for the devs not to fix the sword block.

    @SeaOfThieves Fixed the broken emissary glitch! Thieves haven doesn’t work right! It takes 5 full thieves havens to get to emissary grade 5 since the new update released!

    @GammaIsHere @SeaOfThieves Its like a whole system, sometimes I could take months or weeks depending on the bug/glitch and the Dev team

  • BrandonWaite10
    Brandon_Waite (@BrandonWaite10) reported

    @GammaIsHere @SeaOfThieves Okay then, I'd they already know then its in the making of being fixed. Alot of people don't seem to understand but when a bug or glitch is found. It's not like the devs have a book back home to tell them how to fix it. They have to find outbwhat causes it, and then how to fix it

  • KBaileyBooks
    Kristin Bailey (@KBaileyBooks) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I want to have fun in this game and I can’t because other players are crap. I’m not consenting to their fight. That’s a fundamental problem that limits your audience for the game.

  • KBaileyBooks
    Kristin Bailey (@KBaileyBooks) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Rare if you don’t do this, every player that isn’t an aggressive griefer is going to stop playing eventually and your game will die. People consent to a fight in arena mode. They do not consent to a fight in adventure mode. Or what is the point? Fix this!

    @Danielle4blue @SeaOfThieves Could've just been lag. I have the same problem whenever my internet gets slow

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else have problems lunching the game on xbox? It keeps me at the start up menu saying enlisting pirate.

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the game please. Sometimes it becomes so frustrating. Health circles not increasing on eating non veg food. Please fix this problem.

    @SeaOfThieves Yes; fix your ******* game.

    @SeaOfThieves Still having problems after the recent update! It’s still glitchy as hell and the screen is jumping all over the place. Earlier couldn’t even walk up the steps of the sloop because I kept glitching!!! Losing my patience with this game! Such a disappointment

    @ShyBabaYaga @SeaOfThieves Using steam version? Try resetting your Xbox login in-game. Same thing happened to me, my Xbox auth got stale, but reset worked.
