  • Nthn3b nei 🌙 (@Nthn3b) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Indeed, I am sure such an awful idea from a PVP player as you seem like it, will never happen to this game. It'll only cause problems, so why would they bother adding it? :)

    @SeaOfThieves Please give longer than a 15 minute warning next time when shutting your servers down come on man.....

  • UG_SIRFREE 썰프리 (@UG_SIRFREE) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix this game bug You don't fix bugs for a long time. Hit error, error that does not take damage even if you hit the enemy with a weapon, please... If you still can't fix this error, can you say that the game design is wrong? If you don't have the ability, call another developer

    @GunnarRhoads @SeaOfThieves the only thing i can see as a potential fix now is to uninstall and reinstall, and check the microsoft store for updates again.

    @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves If we subtract a Year due to Covid, then yes, it still sounds bad, but think about it, if it is taking them so long to fix this Issue, then they may haven´t even found out where the Issue lies. Once they figure it out, it won´t take too long, but it doesn´t happen magically

  • Phantaxus Phantaxus 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@Phantaxus) reported

    @Taaaaamas @SeaOfThieves I think the issue was that the reward was uninspiring. A single Ritual skull

  • fishrebel183 Fishrebel183 (@fishrebel183) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves No problem

  • Zerosiini Zerosiini (@Zerosiini) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I used to love this game but on my new PC, the game simply refuses to launch. I feel like I have tried everything except for reinstalling Windows. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

  • Nthn3b nei 🌙 (@Nthn3b) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Noo, your arguments are invalid, not mine. You're trying to say PVE servers would be good but you have no arguments of why they would be good. I have plenty of them but they're problems. And don't tell me it would be good for pve players for god sake. A bit more research please.

  • ItsPrentissYall Prentiss (@ItsPrentissYall) reported

    @GetJackedUpTV @SeaOfThieves I mean there are different variations of the ship that are purely cosmetic. I think we need to focus on core mechanics first....the game is very very broken right now lol.

  • MmmCherryade Cherryade (@MmmCherryade) reported

    @HalfGearrod @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves Woah nelly calm down.. come and tell us your problems

  • TheAwfulWorld bored af (@TheAwfulWorld) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hitregs fix ?

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Nthn3b @SeaOfThieves 1. Adventure did just fine with arena, the way servers work means split issue has never actually been valid. 2. I think you over estimate how many people would not want to do events/Athena/emissary/FoTD. Everyone who does would have to do it in adventure. TBC...

  • 1rebmunynroH 1ynroH (@1rebmunynroH) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so I got sea of thieves on steam to play, it appears I can’t talk with anyone and they can’t talk to me, is there a fix to this

  • IZEDxI ized (@IZEDxI) reported

    @Rolle59475986 @Luke92300159 @SeaOfThieves Never had issues getting in after an update though

  • Nthn3b nei 🌙 (@Nthn3b) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Oh no, I think you misunderstood what I meant over my tweets. I'm just trying to show you that your arguments are invalid and pve servers are nothing but a pointless and awful idea, and such, it would only cause problems, that I can write down for you if you want. <3

  • Your_Hero_420 Michael Liebau (@Your_Hero_420) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You ******* suck today fix it please

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Nthn3b @SeaOfThieves 3. Servers are a non issue. Rare is MS first party and using MS azure cloud, they can spin up and down servers on demand. 4. As I said, high value gold earning would only be on adventure and you can't steal from those pve and need basic voyagers and fishers that's your problem

  • Nicesmileza SKRNICE - The Crabby Boy (@Nicesmileza) reported

    @Tricon99 @SeaOfThieves i solved the problem by buy new one on Steam. SoT on steam is very stable

  • cdeshaw1986 Christopher Deshaw (@cdeshaw1986) reported

    @GunnarRhoads @SeaOfThieves On pc? Ive had to manually update via the microsoft store to solve this issue in the past. Hope this helps!

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Blaze05620151 @ThomasLehpamer @SeaOfThieves Arena didn't crash and burn, its still there. The problem it had was the toxic pvp crowd. No reason to assume that a pve mode would suffer the same issues because its not for those players.

  • Bravox808 Bravox808 (@Bravox808) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves isn't that what Arena is for? Constant PvP and to prove they are the better pirate. Alot of new players and some old ones have issues with pvp players when they are just running tall tales even with the checkpoints it doesn't help some of them.

  • Your_Hero_420 Michael Liebau (@Your_Hero_420) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the game you ******* cucks my **** is getting worse by the minute
