  @SeaOfThieves this is, without a doubt, one of the worst update videos ever. by any major live service title. how anyone, at any level, thought any of these decisions were good, is beyond me.

  @SergioJasonPina @SeaOfThieves By far the most casual pvp experience you will find online. With two working brain cells you can be better than 95% of the SOT population. Other players aren’t the problem

  @Game7DS @SeaOfThieves The video compression turns to absolute ****, and makes it look a LOT like AI generated video. But if this happened, it's more then likely a new loot teleport glitch, and you likely had a cheater in recently played under the report menu.

  @shenanigoon @SeaOfThieves People crashing out because of cosmetics, are just as cringe, as people that want them to be angry for no reason. Why do you want to cause an outrage, from people that did nothing wrong? You have issues man. Get a grip!

  The sea has a way of turning simple plans into long nights. It started plain enough. Just the two of us on a sloop, sails trimmed and pockets empty, heading out with the simple thought of running a few garrisons and seeing what fortune the night might offer. The water was calm, the sort of calm that usually means trouble is waiting somewhere ahead. The first garrison came into view through the haze of the horizon, but we weren’t the first to arrive. A galleon sat there already four pirates busy with the fort. I shot over from the sloop, landing quiet at the top to scout things out. Word was these forts sometimes hid a smuggler’s black powder keg. A nasty piece of work if used right. I searched around the island but couldn’t find it… until I looked up. There it was. Those poor fools had hauled the keg all the way up into their crow’s nest like a trophy. Probably thought it was safe there. I started taking shots from the island, trying to knock it loose, but the angle was wrong. Cannon ***** smacked wood and rope, but the keg wouldn’t go. My crewmate decided to do things the hard way. He fired himself out of the cannon toward their ship. Halfway through the air still sailing through the sky like a ragged comet he shot the harpoon. Somehow he caught the keg straight from the crow’s nest and dragged it down with him as he slammed onto their deck. A second later the whole galleon erupted. The blast threw splinters and pirates alike across the deck. By the time the smoke cleared he’d cut down all four of them in the chaos. Their ship sank fast, slipping beneath the water like it had never belonged there. We finished the fort without much trouble after that. Rather than move on, we sailed a short distance off to let the garrison reset so we could run it again. While we waited, sails appeared on the horizon. Same galleon. They came back hungry. We tried the keg trick again, but this time fate wasn’t interested. The powder slipped into the water and vanished before it could do any good. After that it turned into a long, stubborn fight. For nearly an hour we traded blows. Sometimes we had them dead in the water masts down, deck full of holes. Then somehow they’d recover, patch up, and swing the fight back the other way. Cannon fire cracked across the waves. Boards, repairs, missed shots, lucky shots. Over and over. Neither side would leave. Eventually I went for a board while they were busy trading cannon fire with my crewmate. I climbed their ladder unnoticed and dropped onto the deck. Steel did the rest. Four pirates fell in quick succession to the sword. By the time they realized what had happened, my crewmate had them locked in a death circle with the cannons tearing their ship apart. After that I only saw one of them return from the Ferry of the Damned. The rest never came back. I reckon they’d had enough of the night. The galleon sank for the second time. We sailed back to the garrison hoping to finish what we started… only to find the whole place glitched to the depths. No completion. No treasure. Our first stack lost to whatever strange curse the sea had placed on the fort. So we did what pirates do when fortune turns strange. We sailed for Morrow’s Peak Outpost and sold the Reaper flags we’d taken from the galleon. A small victory, but better than empty hands. While we were there, we spotted a brigantine messing around at the northern garrison. Curiosity got the better of us. We sailed over to see what they were about. The moment they realized we were coming, panic set in. They cut and ran, diving beneath the waves to escape after a short skirmish. But in their hurry they left something behind. A pile of treasure bigger than anything we’d earned all night, a MEGA stash! We hauled it aboard piece by piece under the dim lantern light, the sea quiet again at last. Not a bad way to end a long fight. #BeMorePirate #SeaOfThieves

  @SeaOfThieves Heads up, your Ashen Garrison rowboats are de-spawning, even while docked on the ship. I assume it happens when the Garrison resets and becomes active again, but it’s happened twice to me now and I’m seeing other people having the same issue. #SeaOfThieves

  @SeaOfThieves The problem isn't necessarily the 50k sword, it's how cheap the other bits are, most people I suspect will buy everything but the sword, so there's no "Flex" to any other items apart from the sword, make them 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50k each then EVERYTHING is decent.

  The recent decisions from the Sea of Thieves team has been unacceptable and quite frankly out of line. The more recent issues being Season 19, and the Blackwyche set releasing in the Emporium are the final straws on the camels back for a lot of players, myself included. More specifically, the way both of these situations have been handled is nothing short of disgraceful. I'm not talking about the team scrapping content from Season 19, but rather trying to keep the 3-Act structure, when we were just told by Drew that that formula does not work, yet it's still getting implemented. "Transparency" as a whole is something we have heard from the team almost every video it seems. However, it has become corporate speak rather than details of current problems (and what they're doing to fix it) as well as discussion of the large-scale full roadmap for the future plans of the game. This is highly alarming. We are far beyond the point of needing to be surprised for anything. PLEASE just tell us what you are going to do for the game and what is going on. We need full honesty and openness about what the team is doing to show that our valuable time is not being wasted like it currently is, and for overall improvement of game health. Of course the next community direct could be the start of seeing some future plans, but again, this needed to happen sooner (years ago) and it's honestly too late regardless of what happens now. We see Rare is underwater and profits are decreasing at an alarming rate. We see the team scrambling to push out any amount of half-baked content. The overall quality bar has been set so drastically low it is embarrassing. None of it has proper creative and intuitive lead like it used to and it leaves us with less and less for every update. The game does not feel as full or exciting as it used to, despite there being so much. Another huge problem, especially right now, are the community managers and moderators. So many of these people in the past have bullied, belittled, blocked, and flat out banned players for voicing their opinions. There needs to be a drastic change in this team in regards to how it is structured and how they are allowed to use their authority and operate. I am not wishing for anyone to get fired, but rather repositioned to a different role, because managing a community and handling feedback is obviously not in their skill set. Some people in particular are J0toro and Shirah, who have been the worst when it comes to this. It feels like they have no boss watching or directing what they do and it has been like this for years. They are on a super loose leash and it feels like they are completely separate from the rest of the leadership team. They speak and act on what they feel and what they want and it is super bad. These people SHOULD NOT be the public representation of Rare, specifically Sea of Thieves at all. There is also a MASSIVE disconnect between how Rare views Sea of Thieves, and how the players view Sea of Thieves. Yes, it is Rare's game and Microsoft's IP, but our wants and needs as the players who actually spend time in the game needs to be paramount in decision making in the future. In short, what I am trying to say, is that Rare and specifically the directors of Sea of Thieves need to either get this game back on course before it is too late, or announce that they are working on Sea of Thieves 2. People only speak up because they care. If nobody spoke up in the face of problems, then it would be even worse than it is now. The fact that still so many people voice their opinions is a good thing, so please stop censoring us or just flat out ignoring us. #SeaOfThieves

  @SeaOfThieves Disconnect from your actual player base as usual. Stop listening to streamers and players who spend their lives on the game. I barely had 8,000 doubloons before spending them all a month before the announcement of the reset.

  The stream didn’t even last an hour… How did we not learn from Jynxzi, @RareLtd? Events like this make me sad to even admit how many hours I’ve put into SoT. Are you going to fix this issue four years later like HG, or actually do something NOW? Fix the damn game. #SeaOfThieves
