    @Xbox @SeaOfThieves Anyone else having problems joining Xbox parties rn?

  • Limptrizkitz Dylan Seaman (@Limptrizkitz) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The second tall tale is an absolute **** show. If someone does it before you, it doesn't work. We were fighting the kraken on the raising ship and no food or cannonballs would spawn. Then it black screened everyone and then wouldn't let us back on the ship. Fix this

  • hensolo1981 hensolo1981 (@hensolo1981) reported

    @killzone1401 @SeaOfThieves The second one is broken. Think I'll leave it until it's patched.soent an hour being camped and spawn killed by another crew. It was pointless to fight back as both crews spawn in the room again Rust is less toxic than this game.

  • jjnet123 jj (@jjnet123) reported

    @SeaOfThieves the second tall tale is an absolute **** show. If someone does it before you it doesn't work. We were fighting the kraken on the raising ship and no food or cannonballs would spawn then it black screened everyone. Then we couldn't even get back on the ship. Fix this

  • joshy41233 Joshy41233 (@joshy41233) reported

    @Pret0r1an @SeaOfThieves I can name a few games with this many issues, its a big content drop. And they had to do it without insider testing to keep it q secret, so yes there's been less testing, but still has been testing. They are already working on the new bugs as they always do
