  @CrewMisfortune @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves The blame for this issue should not be put on those that decide to use it. This is an ongoing issue with the game, and it appears Rare has tried to patch it before.

  @Hitbotc @Spammals @SeaOfThieves That is literally the point of the sails costing 8+ mil. This can easily be replicated with the captains curl. Please stop trying to find a problem with everything. A good crew will beat you into the dirt regardless of a sail.

  Has anyone got the Runtime error on Sea of Thieves and know how to fix it? #SeaOfThieves

  Crew of Misfortune (@CrewMisfortune) reported 15 minutes ago

  @misterwhiskytv @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves Would've reported these people no matter who they were. The fact that it was a streamer makes it more important to get this problem fixed. We knew we didn't have much of a chance to win the fight, but that doesn't give them a reason to use the exploit.

  @LLord335 @SeaOfThieves People now abuse the checkpoint glitch sadly. I wish gold curse owners before checkpoint update got a title😥

  @Hitbotc @Spammals @SeaOfThieves If your sails are full into the wind you can see, if not then move them, problem solved

  @CrewMisfortune Yea, I've been having my issues with the sword exploit as well. Sad to see it coming from partners. I'm sure @SeaOfThieves is taking action cuz this kinda behaviour is just gross. Imagine if this was a crew of less experienced pirates who just had their game experience ruined.

  @SeaOfThieves Fix Arena achievements when the servers close. You did it for banana crates so you can do it now.

  @SeaOfThieves The new adventure is confusing to navigate, many many people have had problems! It doesn't explain anything properly, it doesn't indicate that the map you have is for the skull or is special in any way and have been starting chapter 2 again because they don't know what to do etc

  Tip on #SeaOfThieves install error 0x80073cf9. Make sure you do not disable NTFS encryption in Group Policy, it will not be able to download, seems there is some encryption in use.

  @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I'm not an Engineer, Artist or a Producer. But I am interested in who looks after your building. In-house or a sourced FM service partner?

  I've lost and died so many times today because of food-reg... Its actually so frustrating dying and losing to a game bug like that. I had it happen 3-4 times in just ONE!! fight... PLEASE fix hitreg on EVERYTHING. @SeaOfThieves #seaofbugs

  @chacraboy83 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, we did that after it eventually worked. Problem was the new map just looks like every other found map so we nearly missed it. Finally did it, 3 or so hours later. A bit frustrating.

  @swdrawings_nl @SeaOfThieves @sotshotcentral Head to the broken down galli and hide there until there gone. If you are captured by the reapers tell them nothing.

  @SeaOfThieves problems with the arena 😔

• 
  (mental health hiatus) (@TheYammyOfc) reported 53 minutes ago

  @CrewMisfortune @SeaOfThieves Well that's great. Still hope the bugs being worked on though. I can see how it might be an issue because it would most likely involve reworking the entire spawn process, but I'm sure it's on the docket. I trust them.

  @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves How bout you fix your ****** shrouded islands quest? How are you guys this stupid to make a rune drop randomly. Do any of you even play this game? Nobody wants to play a tale more than once. They all suck. The story isn't interesting. Everyone at rare should be fired

• 
  Adriaan Visser (@AVissies) reported 55 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves Is the fleet event supposed to be in the sky for 5 hours in game without going away and no other event spawning? This only happens with the fleet event, if it's a bug please fix it

• 
  Snake (@SnakeOfLordran) reported 56 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves Anyone else notice since around season 4 the enemy spawn rates have been kinda ******? Twice now have I seen phantoms spawn right as an athena keg skeleton spawns, and they IMMEDIATELY run up and sword swipe it so I CANT grab the keg and sell it, it's a real problem.

  @SeaOfThieves why the servers are lagging to 20 to 259 ping when we are close to people ?

  @SethOvKnives @SeaOfThieves Check for the Dawn Hunter Shirt: looks like the incorrect item was added to everyone's inventory in error

  Fonzie Ex Machina (@Fluffyfatman) reported 59 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves These prop hide emotes are just a slap in the face to those who missed the opportunity at the barrel hide emote. At least give us a reason you won't add it back. Gameplay balance, server load issues, lost data, whatever. Every other season pass item has wound up in the emporium..
