  • Daynemog DayneMagus (@Daynemog) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Take your time. Rather have a quality update than a rushed one with broken features ⚓

  • Fishhook_Cook Fishhook Cook (@Fishhook_Cook) reported

    We've been kicked from the game multiple times a session for the last couple days, one of which was extremely poorly timed and frustrating. Anyone else having this problem or are my servers cursed? @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves

  • Cirqix David (@Cirqix) reported

    @SeaOfThieves For the love of all that is good. Revive your game by making Galleons a 5 man ship, they are way too big for 4 people. Too many cannons, 3 floors on a ship, too many holes to fix for 4 people, too much space to run and fix the sails. Make the galleon a 5 man ship at least!!!

  • Kappler16354 Andrew J Kappler (@Kappler16354) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How about you do a quality life update and fix the bugs and glitches. And the crashes past week its been so bad. I hope your also looking into this as well

  • Layz1978 Lay (@Layz1978) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why does my game keep crashing? I thought the update fixed the crashing? I’m glad the new update was pushed back. NOW FIX THE GAME!

  • knglover Knglover (@knglover) reported

    @SeaOfThieves A game that doesn't crash on me every 5 minutes

  • NR_CAUSTIC NR_CAUSTIC (@NR_CAUSTIC) reported

    1 hour Gaming, 10 crash! Thanks @SeaOfThieves @Xbox

  • NR_CAUSTIC NR_CAUSTIC (@NR_CAUSTIC) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Crash server xbox!!!!!!!

  • JeStErDaClOwN JeStEr (@JeStErDaClOwN) reported

    @SeaOfThieves For all the people that don't understand how important it is for them to take their time to do this, this is a good thing! If they take more time to release the update, then it's obviously because they want to release the update without too many problem. It wouldn't be enjoyable

  • TheMiniFish7 Minifish (@TheMiniFish7) reported

    @Fishhook_Cook @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I've been having that same problem. It started roughly when I set up my co.puter so I thought it might be that. But even when other games run fine sea of thieves still kicks me randomly. Weird.

  • misnput Misnput (@misnput) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Make season 8 bug focused. Fix hit reg mainly and other ****. This will bring back so many players who stopped playing because of the game's instability. Sure let your artitsts work on new stuff in the meantime, but for once actually focus on fixing what you haven’t for 4 years.

  • thejizel TheJizel (@thejizel) reported

    @Bosstonez @Thee__Goose @SeaOfThieves The problem is Rare will both push it back AND release it with bugs.

  • ActivistGamer ZombiGrim (@ActivistGamer) reported

    @trollofduty007 @Chance_SoT @SeaOfThieves Yeah and I understand that but this goes beyond unforseen circumstances. This is a "we don't want to overwork ourselves to meet a deadline we put out to keep investors satiated so deal with" kinda issue. And its plaguing the industry right now.

  • PatrickCarrillo Patrick Carrillo (@PatrickCarrillo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please just fix Skeleton fleets, we had two today that wouldn't spawn any ships. this is our favorite world spawn and its not working!!

  • IHaveHerpes8 Future Spider07 (@IHaveHerpes8) reported

    @bgoosh2013 @SeaOfThieves Fix your ******* xbox

  • Whitewolf8784 Joe Constantine (@Whitewolf8784) reported

    @SeaOfThieves a suggestion. Betrayal is at a all time high in alliances. In order to fix this, move the guns below deck where the Cannon holes would belong. That way the ***** would have to be opened in order to fire thus giving the other crew mere seconds to prepare

  • SancteT Sancte tenebris (@SancteT) reported

    @SeaOfThieves is sea of thieves still a thing? All I hear from your players is how bad your servers lag.

  • NR_CAUSTIC NR_CAUSTIC (@NR_CAUSTIC) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix crash server! Stop please!

  • Aerohorse3 Aerohorse3 (@Aerohorse3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’d rather it run smooth vs another reg problem

  • Capt_Logun Capt Logun 🦝 (@Capt_Logun) reported

    @Wadaya_Meane @SeaOfThieves @JoeNeate1 Making games is hard, content is coming but I'd rather wait for it to run as smoothly as possible than push the team to put out something that will break or cause issues.

  • trollofduty007 Dean Tetlow (@trollofduty007) reported

    @SeaOfThieves People complaining about this Would you rather they released a polished and finished product? or released a broken and buggy mess, then patched it into a working state over weeks? Software development is a tricky thing and unforeseen issues pop up all the time. I have faith

  • Sir_radington Rad_knight (@Sir_radington) reported

    @RilGames @Bosstonez @SeaOfThieves again. FOUR. YEARS. captaincy was announced before the game even launched, unless rare's dumbest programmer was working on this update single handedly there shouldn't be many bugs to fix. i'd check on the insider version to prove this, but i'm lazy and it'd be under NDA anyways

  • ChloeSauras ChloeSaurasCrafts🦖🖌 (@ChloeSauras) reported

    @Fishhook_Cook @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I've been having the same problems, was playing yesterday doing a Treasury and I got kicked twice and crew members did too. Another time was Tuesday and crew member was about to board a gally and got kicked too.

  • d71473613 d (@d71473613) reported

    @SeaOfThieves bro please fix the pve spawn rates, there's so many enemies the game is borderline unplayable at times

  • IHaveHerpes8 Future Spider07 (@IHaveHerpes8) reported

    @bgoosh2013 @SeaOfThieves Fix your ******* xbox

  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @InsaneSpyro @SeaOfThieves @JoeNeate1 You agreed to an NDA when you signed up to Insiders, by discussing this outside of the Insiders Forums you have just broken that agreement. You gotta be more careful with these things.

  • Layz1978 Lay (@Layz1978) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX THE GAME I KEEP CRASHING!

  • gr0undzer084 Groundzer0 (@gr0undzer084) reported

    @Dracos125 @Sir_Wxcky @SeaOfThieves If they cared about bugs they'd fix the ones that have been around since launch.

  • IMDingBop laaaaa (@IMDingBop) reported

    @SeaOfThieves There is also a problem of noob players accusing players like me who did nothing but Arena everyday for 6-12 hours of “hacking”.

  • CrankyGamerDad CrankyGamerDad (@CrankyGamerDad) reported

    @Fishhook_Cook @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Had that problem for a few weeks now. Lost a ship because of it once.
