    @SeaOfThieves Guys have you also had a problem with ship event since the last update? I mean when I enter it, the ships do not spawn...

  • JakeN0lan Jake Nolan (@JakeN0lan) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I quit playing after the Skelly ships glitch. I had so much gold.

  • eltigre43_ Eltigre43 (@eltigre43_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your hit reg and quit making Xbox players play with m&kb. ******* dumb. I know for a fact I played with one tonight and it’s bull ****.

  • 410Colepyro 410Colepyro (@410Colepyro) reported

    @SeaOfThieves There's a glitch in the game where if you buy wood or cannon ball crates they're either empty or you don't get them at all

  • IAmTrashTV AbsoluteTrash (@IAmTrashTV) reported

    Just watched The Final Battle video again for the @SeaOfThieves Arena farewell and I'm broken all over again. #RIPArena

  • vhsgrill vhsgrrrl (@vhsgrill) reported

    @SoT_Support cool update. I guess we can look forward to 3 minute blackscreens and persistent crashing again. Game is fine, no issues at all. #salty @SeaOfThieves

  • m4_patrick Bootsmann1987 (@m4_patrick) reported

  • fuzzbutt043 Fuzzbutt043 (@fuzzbutt043) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I have an issue with my Forums account. I have tried relogging in, refreshing, clearing cache, all of that, and it will not let me make any posts. I cannot even submit a request for assistance, as it will not let me post the request. What do I do?

  • DeadPixelTV Dead Pixel 🏴‍☠️ (@DeadPixelTV) reported

    @Stiixgirl @JonRobertMahon1 @SeaOfThieves Just something I noticed whenever I play on my console instead of my pc. Audio issues, rendering taking forever, and ping feels worse as well.

  • KanzlerMr Mr. Kanzler (@KanzlerMr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Bring back arena... it's a simple fix for those of us that want the PvP experience. You said 2% of people played arena but I continuously run into people that say they miss the arena. Run a poll on here to bring it back. That will save your PvE events. Pirates will be pirates.

  • crazed38 crazed38 (@crazed38) reported

    @Dragonflame1090 @SeaOfThieves Probably not that quick of a fix, obviously they wanted to solve it asap. There should be less chance to have a griefer now, though sadly you’d need to leave and rejoin if you do. At least it’ll be less chaotic, though, but I will miss being able to meet so many crews so easily

  • Vaati_OW VaatiOW (@Vaati_OW) reported

    @SeaOfThieves My friends and I just lost like 2 hours of collecting loot before cashing in bc of a server crash... very sad :((((

  • d71473613 d (@d71473613) reported

    @SeaOfThieves my God can you fix the ******* ridiculous PvE spawns. I literally can't go 2 monites on an island without some stupid ficking spawns

  • krugath Krugath (@krugath) reported

    @xiviri @SeaOfThieves @MerfolksLullaby That weren't broken*

  • JhonTurp Turp0 (@JhonTurp) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Bruh everyone one here so spoiled like at least this is something, plenty of other games who wont fix anything and still try to sell the the game like fallout 76

  • BluHunter9 Blu Hunter (@BluHunter9) reported

    @ActivistGamer @Fridericusfvd @SeaOfThieves The reason the loot disappears is that once u exit the portal ur in a whole different server and it would be broken if u have an Athena chest and u just run through the portal to get away

  • RLasn2 Rompsik🇪🇪 (@RLasn2) reported

    @SlothMode4Days @littleghosti @SeaOfThieves Theres a problem with doing pvp in real world, 99% time pve player is running away, and when you catch up to them, they scuttle

  • pidge2571 Pidge2571 (@pidge2571) reported

    @GamerTosh @xtwiztidjayx @SeaOfThieves Sail into the wind and nothing is going to catch you, learn how to get out of a bad situation instead of moaning on twitter, I solo sloop often and barely see anyone and if I do then I'm off before they get close enough to be a problem.

  • rumbanana Rumbanana (@rumbanana) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves it’s been three weeks and saving ship cosmetics is still broken. You haven’t disabled the feature to prevent players from losing their gold or updated the community. #xbox #SeaOfThieves #XboxGamePass

  • MarioDoubleXP 🅱️Mario (@MarioDoubleXP) reported

    @mansion999 @SeaOfThieves They just needed to disable it during the adventure, no throwables, no friendly fire. That was the fix, but i guess they cant force an alliance between crews?

  • xiviri Sir de Chichinabo™ (@xiviri) reported

    @krugath @SeaOfThieves @MerfolksLullaby this broken music box is in the Sunken Grove cave. Right next to what appears to be a mutineer skull.

  • D4rkSyl3nce D4rkSyl3nce (@D4rkSyl3nce) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR SERVERS! Jesus Christ!

  • ellemillichip Eleanor Millichip (@ellemillichip) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Issue still not solved. Really annoying to be killed every time I try to do this. It’s at the point where I don’t think I’ll complete it.

  • DINOSAURUS__REX Kevin Lawler Draws (@DINOSAURUS__REX) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Just call it a passion and there’s no problem!

  • XrossEye Cross (@XrossEye) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Things you need to do to fix your ****** ******* game: - Fix the fact that I can't hear a boarder literally sprinting around my ******* ship until I'm shot by them -Remove the Blunderbus -Less limited time cosmetics, more content. -Sell your game to competent devs
