    @ReflectingGlory @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Ye not a problem, do able in a couple of weeks

  • P3pitoDepollo AlasDair (@P3pitoDepollo) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves This happens when you give more importance to Hype people than fixing your stability issues. Imagine having an empty emporium and servers fixed without hitreg,lag and this kind of issues . Oh, no, It is better to invest that resources on trash skins to steal 40€ to your players

  • GTGeno GTGeno (@GTGeno) reported

    @squeezymcgee @SeaOfThieves Are they getting Strawberrybeard error?

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves in my opinion you should do it tomorrow aswell since this has happened, it’s been like this for the past hour and it’s just stupid now. Fix the game

  • TheSnarkanist 💜🖤~☆SnarkanistArts☆~🖤💜 (@TheSnarkanist) reported

    @rigler_daniel @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Yes, because they totally just "decided" that the servers would go down 🙄 Have a little patience dude, **** happens, it's not the end of the world. Yes, it sucks, but don't **** on the people trying to fix it.

  • P3pitoDepollo AlasDair (@P3pitoDepollo) reported

    @Legacidal @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves When they know all the problems that servers has, making PvP experience awful (Not mentioning bugalodons or bugelly ships) and they choose to invest resources on developing skins instead of solving that huge issues, is the same that trying to steal us with minimal effort

  • PanchoLRios Francisco López Ríos (@PanchoLRios) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i can't login in the game #SeaOfThievesCommunityDay

  • JimyChickenfoot Donald Davis III (@JimyChickenfoot) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Dang. Hope you find the problem quickly. BTW I need a new hat I ripped mine and could use a shiny new one. #BeMorePirate

    Stuck on ‘Loading Supplies’. Cant seem to get in. Are more people having issues? Status site shows all green. #SeaOfThievesCommunityDay #SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves

  • GTGeno GTGeno (@GTGeno) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why am I getting Strawberrybeard error? I can't even get on the game!

  • The_Op3rator Jerry Monnett (@The_Op3rator) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Would be great if you'd have taken steps to prepare for the increased player load, instead of hoping players wouldn't get Strawberrybeard errors. Or even *gasp* try learning from previous mistakes that caused this same issue.

  • TvArchy AnArchyTV (@TvArchy) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Can we get a community day extension for this issue? Cause its kinda unfair for those of us that cannot login

  • Thedeploreables The Deploreable (@Thedeploreables) reported

    @SeaOfThieves be nice if we could login lol

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I keep getting the code Strawberrybeard. Really not the ideal day to be having server issues. If it's like this all day the event should be extended for all players.
