    @TheRiderofUsbs @SeaOfThieves Delete your captain voyages! Had that glitch for a week and did that and now it worksB

  • jaredgoddeeeenn ThatNZguy (@jaredgoddeeeenn) reported

    @Willthefluteboy @SeaOfThieves So you couldn't play once during the entire weekend, during the holiday period? For 15 minutes, to grab the Orb that was available for 72 hours? That seems like a you problem. They were very forthright with the times and dates these things were happening this year.

  • CptSodit Sodddit (@CptSodit) reported

    @TheRiderofUsbs @SeaOfThieves Apparently there was a fix where if you delete all captain voyages it works, I may be wrong but give it a try

  • Dillonward23 Dillon Ward (@Dillonward23) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Sea of thieves this que time is ******* atrocious and I don’t want to sit on the button for 50 minutes. Please add tic tac toe or something… connect 4 maybe.. anyways please make sure we can find a game.. my final complaint skill based match making is too hard plz fix…

  • TheYammyOfc Yammy "Flame Daddy 2.0" | Discord @ Yammy#1999 (@TheYammyOfc) reported

    @Fishhook_Cook @SeaOfThieves They really needa fix this bug. I need shots of Captain Ravage kneeling during the ritual of Flame but he keeps getting covered in... questionable textures. Or at least somebody needs to tell me what cosmetics work and which ones don't so I can get some decent pics.

  • mzcynic ꪖꪀᧁꫀ (@mzcynic) reported

    When will you fix the purchasing of supplies for captained ships? And why is it an issue only for certain people? @SeaOfThieves

  • CharlieBlayloc7 Charlie Blaylock (@CharlieBlayloc7) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please fix skill based matchmaking Jesus my crew has been put up against too many triumphant seadogs and DA sails for me to even consider it to work XD

  • Mrs480 Mrs480 (@Mrs480) reported

  • AT0MAC AT0MAC 👨‍🎨📸 (@AT0MAC) reported

    All i asked for, is 1 print. Without errors. As a photographer and graphic artist I really value my pictures, and specially this shot, my original #seaofthieves #sotshot is something special But i'm not going to hang it with smeared colors or scratches

  • Dillonward23 Dillon Ward (@Dillonward23) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Maybe fix the damn q times and then this season will be fun

  • KimaTheFox Kima (@KimaTheFox) reported

    Yup. Uninstalling @SeaOfThieves for good. The constant issues with the game just don't make it any fun anymore. Great content added, but no matter what I do on my end, the game is a buggy mess.

  • JDR_thats_me JDR (@JDR_thats_me) reported

    Been in the tunnel now for an hour. Estimated match making has been at 1 - 2 mins the entire time. Can't wait to get the tiny rep gain when I lose. Australian servers are in trouble! @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves

  • BenWinnin714 BenWinnin714 (@BenWinnin714) reported

    I've been searching the web on this, no luck. Currently can't buy captain supplies, any I can do to fix? @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves

  • cole_aydelotte Cole Aydelotte (@cole_aydelotte) reported

    @SeaOfThieves shipwright and now commodities are broken. This is why Queue times are so high!!!

  • SnakeOfLordran Snake (@SnakeOfLordran) reported

    @Slappy202TV @SeaOfThieves Well, they're gonna say "we fixed it" and then not fix it, just like spawning in storms, and respawning in storms, they said they fixed that THREE TIMES, and it STILL ******* HAPPENS ALL THE ******* TIME.

  • procedural_ttv procedural (@procedural_ttv) reported

    Public Service Announcement: if skill based match making is working, you should lose half of your fights. Let that sink in for a minute (see what I did there?) #SeaOfThieves

  • Fishhook_Cook Fishhook Cook (@Fishhook_Cook) reported

    @TheYammyOfc @SeaOfThieves It seemed to work without issue the second time I did it

  • EGGamer_ 🏳️‍🌈 EG - Iñigo Zulueta (@EGGamer_) reported

    @StormySeaDog @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Sadly probably there won't be a new bug fix until January

  • braxtonwhit4147 Braxtonwhit4147 (@braxtonwhit4147) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Matchmaking needs to be fix.

  • LeahMareMann meow (@LeahMareMann) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey Can you fix the bug where your scrolling through the stores Like clothes my friend got kicked for it for no reason! he was trying to buy things but got kicked. "Due to Inactivity" please fix this :D

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @anxiety_cured @SeaOfThieves If you have nothing to contribute to the issue other than complaint, then doing so will help nothing. If you have nothing to contribute then your complaining about a known issue is just as annoying as the issue... If not more.

  • lt_swag_johnson Lt. Swag Johnson (@lt_swag_johnson) reported

    @TCN_Gaming @SeaOfThieves Open/closed crews didn't exist yet. And handing resources to mateys made the server crash.

  • Javano_ Javano (@Javano_) reported

    @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves If you actively celebrate Christmas for 4+ days, I feel like your gaming schedule is the least of your issues this week.

  • austinleefarmer Austinlee (@austinleefarmer) reported

    @SeaOfThieves alright Iv fought the same guy in pvp 5 times in a row and been sunk all 5 times. This game is so broken.

  • nekoboy56 Nekoboy56 VTuber (@nekoboy56) reported

    I got up to rank 3 tonight!! But of course, sunk shortly after they sunk...BUT got to three!! And that last one was sweaty and slow. He was a hardcore boarder. I started lagging like poop so he got the upper hand unfortunately. But either way, rank 3 les go!! #SeaOfThieves

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @anxiety_cured @SeaOfThieves If you are going to complain about a known issue, then offer a solution that could help. If you cant offer helpful feedback, then complaining about it will do nothing but waste your own time.
