  • money_pencil Pencil_Money (@money_pencil) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your stupid ******* game, I shot these guys each 4+ times straight through their ******* craniums, and guess what? They don't die. Get your shot together and stop falling back on the excuse "we're working on it". Either fix it or stop calling your game good.

    @haliax_l @Wermux @SeaOfThieves Think of it like this, wermux wasn't streaming, so how did his community know it was opm?? How many of opm's community started on wermux??? How many out of wermux's community came over to opm's chat?? I think i know where the problem is ..

    Went to play #SeaOfThieves just to find out that #Xbox live services are currently experiencing issues 😟

  • magmei69 kuba🇵🇱🇺🇦 (@magmei69) reported

    @SAIKOsean @SeaOfThieves well for me at least the issues got worse after the update, maybe some servers are just more stressed than others because of players returning to the game

  • ScarlettSt0ne Scarlett Stone (@ScarlettSt0ne) reported

    @emmapon_ @SeaOfThieves It's apparently a problem with xbox. They are apparently now working on it. Xx

  • AndrooDingus AndRoo Dingus (@AndrooDingus) reported

    I really wish that the dialogue options for the npcs changed to fit the current goings on in @SeaOfThieves not anything major but example: Serrick currently still talks about her issues with Merrick even though she thinks he is dead 💀 Maybe in the future!

  • Falcon59875668 Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @magmei69 @MellowMp5 @SeaOfThieves Im just saying that they are working on it. For me hit reg is not that bad. Hit reg issues are not only becouse of game issue but also becouse of differnece between internet conection of both players

  • Stiixgirl Kira (@Stiixgirl) reported

    @sophhUK @SeaOfThieves Funny, none of the streamers seem to be having coarsebeard issues…hmmm I wonder?? I don’t want to watch SOT, I wanna play it, lol.

  • Twistedsoul1020 Rob (@Twistedsoul1020) reported

    My God @SeaOfThieves fix the hit reg in your game please. You're on season 9 game has been out 5 years FIX IT! Or if you can't fix it change it for the better!!! My God using the blunder right in someone's back should eliminate them not push them off the boat! #SeaOfThieves

  • darrenunger81 Darren Unger (@darrenunger81) reported

    @SeaOfThieves are the servers down?

  • AustinH76602554 Austin Hill (@AustinH76602554) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix ur ******* game I'm sick and tired of other people trash *** internet affecting mine and ******* me over I'm sick and tired of losing to people who play from the McDonald's bathroom

  • DMaxor1991 DarthMaxor (@DMaxor1991) reported

    Bruh, I feel like I need to VPN to EU for @SeaOfThieves dives. It takes me almost 2 hours just to get four matches for a champ streak. Any #SeaOfThieves folk out there recommend a VPN service for this kind of stuff? I've never VPN'd or anything like that before.

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your game, runs like doodoo

  • magmei69 kuba🇵🇱🇺🇦 (@magmei69) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @MellowMp5 @SeaOfThieves what kind of an argument „then maybe work for them” even is? it is certainly the issue of their priorities, me working for them or not won’t change a single thing

  • Balcaxontheflax Xavier (@Balcaxontheflax) reported

    @Daniel75986190 @SeaOfThieves Yes we have the problem too

  • Daniel75986190 304Dalff (@Daniel75986190) reported

    @SeaOfThieves are the server down atm? I am getting the (Coarsebeard) at the moment?!?

  • XTiredBansheeX TiredBanshee (@XTiredBansheeX) reported

    Yo, can anyone help me?? I keep getting coursebeard errors and I've restarted my wifi , restarted my PC, logged out of my Xbox account then back in and nothing. It only started to happen after I left a tall tale mid game?? #SeaOfThieves #seaofthieveshelp

  • UrsShor Shot Urs (@UrsShor) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i started playing and it gave me the soul flame crewmate set, I don’t have vanquishing the damned commendation, nor have I bought the set. And I re logged in and it went away, kinda odd glitch.

  • Falcon59875668 Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @magmei69 @MellowMp5 @SeaOfThieves Then maybe work for them. Do you know how game development works? Team that is working on bug fixes is working on bug fixes. Im the same time team that works on skins/emotes do their stuff as addition. They can only improve server performance or hit reg. They will never fix it.

  • UrDookieBruhh Austin (@UrDookieBruhh) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I am trying to create a support ticket and consistenly get an "Error" message with nothing more than that word and have even tried to contact Microsoft support and cannot get any help. What can I do to get in touch with your support staff??

  • martianman___ Martianman (@martianman___) reported

    I'm watching my friends play @SeaOfThieves and one of them left the ferry and sat on a black screen for 5 minutes. 2 other crewmates went to ferry and returned 3-4x while they were stuck on black screen. Fix your game. @SoT_Support

  • Calcifer_Dragon Calcifer (@Calcifer_Dragon) reported

    @SeaOfThieves have the game server had a chainshot to the cables of something currently? seem to be having loads of issues logging in and buying stuff from shops

  • Daniel75986190 304Dalff (@Daniel75986190) reported

    @Balcaxontheflax @SeaOfThieves Yeah it was an Xbox server problem it’s solved now lasted about 45 minutes.

  • emilyyclevenger emily (@emilyyclevenger) reported

    are the @SeaOfThieves servers down for anyone else?
