  • maybe_edu edu (@maybe_edu) reported

    @Itz_Tubez @SeaOfThieves it is the same problem as hitreg, although it doen't happen to me as often as hitreg

  • AliNBaqai Ali Baqai (@AliNBaqai) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I hear people talking about this hit reg problem in the game, probably best to remove it

  • Zewx_twitch Zewx (@Zewx_twitch) reported

    @Itz_Tubez @SeaOfThieves This has been a problem in the game since they removed x bucketing months ago

  • IndioCoe Indio Coe (@IndioCoe) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Y’all need to fix the two skeleton galleons near the old arena island. It’s impossible for a solo player to win, you can’t bucket, fight and repair with two of them ramming you and shooting

  • tylerburdsall_ tyler burdsall (@tylerburdsall_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves pls fix ur servers u could literally bring the game back to like if u add some type of server selection system like rust. i don’t wanna sit here for an hour to find a fort of fortune or a server that is even remotely active. easiest fix to bring ur game back

  • BreadIsMyGod bread🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@BreadIsMyGod) reported

    @BillySwank_ @SeaOfThieves there’s literally so much other **** you can buy that gives you freedom to mix and match so idk what you’re on, just don’t equip costumes and you’re not gonna have the issue

  • Shinikami9969 Kate Maxwell (@Shinikami9969) reported

    Anyone having lag or ping issues with #SeaOfThieves ? Seems to have had problems the last few days

  • DOCCO__ Steije (@DOCCO__) reported

    @SeaOfThieves pls fix these damn black screens im in a fight:(

  • Jextyyn Jex 🇺🇦 (@Jextyyn) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Twice in a row now either high ping or trash ******* servers have cost me. Yesterday I sniped this guy 4 times, and blundered him twice and he still didn't die. He never ate anything. Today, 2 snipes and a blunder, still doesn't die. Fix this ******* bullshit, man.

  • TheTrigen TheTrigen (@TheTrigen) reported

    @SeaOfThieves ehh my sea of thieves on steam is not working

  • thatkidkashi kidkashi (@thatkidkashi) reported

    @SeaOfThieves He’s wondering when you’re going to fix your trash hit registration. If you’ve got time to tweet this garbage, you’ve got time to work on your games glaring issues.

  • IndioCoe Indio Coe (@IndioCoe) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your game, ******* devs are actually brain dead fr

  • NinjaNaranja3 Ninja_Naranja (@NinjaNaranja3) reported

    @GuyFromPoland_ @YerOldCaptain @SeaOfThieves That’s definitely an issue. Hopefully we either get drastically different recolors (instead of the similar ones we’ve been getting for the past serval months) or a new model entirely. I don’t mind recolors if they look different enough.

  • Bogaiaio Boga (@Bogaiaio) reported

    @Itz_Tubez @SeaOfThieves It usually happen to me when there is some server “things” (lag, spawn of something, too many player in one spot or something like that)

  • devonNruggiero Piggyhastheconch (@devonNruggiero) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Having trouble preparing my inventory. Ask mr again shortly ;)

  • Vromst1 Caden Fickes (@Vromst1) reported

    @Thorthepit14 @SeaOfThieves Yea I’ve noticed that on my pc as well and before the last update my Xbox ran it good as well but now I get terrible lag spikes that ruin everything but I still play games to fun

  • indomius38 indominus (@indomius38) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the game its too laggy

  • StepGrimm StepGrimm (@StepGrimm) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Probably lagging

  • Spectrettv1 Spectre (@Spectrettv1) reported

    @Thorthepit14 @SeaOfThieves Same all good before update now I get huge lag spikes of 0 fps

  • RexxxButts Dave Cohen (@RexxxButts) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I hauled a bunch of stronghold kegs, cant show you the commendations because they arent tracking.. I like commendations. Show me a fix

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Hidden3lite @SeaOfThieves or find a crew and all your problems go away 10x faster than waiting for Rare to add something they said they won't...?

  • BlackeyeThe2nd LJ (@BlackeyeThe2nd) reported

    @DreadedDripp @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I agree with 90% of this statement. The overlying problem is that Rare sometimes picks shots with very little effort put in, (like that one that was literally just a pic of a PE figurehead) thus inadvertently encouraging unispired submissions.

  • TCP_NP_DREW NizzlePrizzle (@TCP_NP_DREW) reported

    @Itz_Tubez @SeaOfThieves This has happened since launch it’s just lag I belive. Idk happens to me once every year maybe

  • YerOldCaptain Captain Butterfinger (@YerOldCaptain) reported

    I was hoping we would get a new encounter event like kraken or Meg/SkellyShip for season 3 with the huge mermaid statue that has ocean crawlers boarding our ship but sadly it was only for a tall tale. Let fix that! Here is the idea for that encounter to be added #SeaOfThieves

  • _Lackyy_ Lacky (@_Lackyy_) reported

    @The_CaptainHank @Taaaaamas @SeaOfThieves i'm not sure... i know one known issue is that in areas of intense action...

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @Starboss56 @CGallerine @SeaOfThieves I never said change it from PVPVE I said add solo servers... As in solo players/sloop only. I have no problem being attacked while doing activities but I do have a problem with being unfairly outnumbered.
