    @SeaOfThieves back in 2020 my Xbox account got perm banned and all my progress from that account get erased, is there anyway I can get my limiteds? I had the day 1 eye patch and other stuff like that, I have all of the login info of my account to prove it was mine.

  • dlchief58 Michael Burden (@dlchief58) reported

    @Codezy_ @CreeperRemix @SeaOfThieves Oh I have REAL people that care about me. You might if you weren't such a lame jerk with insecurity issues.

  • YourSirJoffrey Booty Salad (@YourSirJoffrey) reported

    @rdaborn @SeaOfThieves Ya i thoigbt this too, but i thought about it a little more and quockly realized the problems that come when say, a huge group of friends join at once and take over the whole server

  • sworduslordus Waaambulance (@sworduslordus) reported

    @ScrollsFallout @SeaOfThieves Insta respawns help ppl who are being spawncamped its really not a problem

  • Eljadyem Eljadyem Millagan (@Eljadyem) reported

    @Farashin42 @SeaOfThieves No. No it wouldn’t. Because a vast number of said small player base would probably give the same feedback as the majority of players, which does not reflect the experience most get. This way, they can work on the problem as it arrises, while listening to EVERYONE.

  • Batesy3197 Jack Bates (@Batesy3197) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Managed to do the adventure last night before the changes, got lucky as there was only one ship trying to kill everyone and ruin it. Caused a couple of inconveniences but wasn’t a massive issue. Glad the changes are being made though

  • MoretzSawyer Gummi (@MoretzSawyer) reported

    @SeaOfThieves **** you. I grind for hours to level up my merchant alliance ****, evade a galleon, steal their loot, and get my flag fully leveled up just to get infinite black screened after mermaiding. Buggy *** game. Fix your ****

  • Dragonflame1090 DragonFlame1090 (@Dragonflame1090) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Bro just turn off pvp in the adventure problem solved

  • Joky_D_Luffy Joky D. Luffy (@Joky_D_Luffy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves If only someone warned you before about the toxic tdm community that would only camp the event to prevent other people from doing it Who knew, right ? Oh, and it doesn't solve the issue. Make it solo, period You will see it in the completion stats anyway

  • LargeSailor422 Large Sailor422 (@LargeSailor422) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Man it'd be so cool if there was a way for players to test things like this and provide feedback before public launch so these issues don't occur!

  • FatPirate_Sot Fat Pirate (@FatPirate_Sot) reported

    I love when people assume I’m going to the adventure to TDM and I have to use a sniper & pistol… noooo I’m here to spawncamp you duface… swashbuckler at your service. #SeaOfThieves #takingoutthetrash

  • CapnTatermilk Captain Tater (@CapnTatermilk) reported

    @SeaOfThieves In a world bereft of customer service, you guys shine through. Thanks, team.

  • SirMaskox 𝚂𝚒𝚛 𝙼𝚊𝚜𝚔𝚘𝚡 🏴‍☠️ (@SirMaskox) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Solved it the 4th time ... Toxic spawn camping, trolling ... A great moment with the crews willing to do it. Not a design problem, just a small amount (but enough) of people ruining the fun of it. Too often like that.

  • Eljadyem Eljadyem Millagan (@Eljadyem) reported

    @cdrebarbossa @SeaOfThieves I’ve been “lucky” too many times then I guess. I seriously can’t find any issue. The players, alliance and Reaper alike, are always respectful of the experience. It’s a game about freedom of choice after all. Most know better than to interfere in a limited time adventure.

  • RetroGamer90 RetroGamer (@RetroGamer90) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The devs spend more time pandering to streamers than actually sitting down to look at the real issues with the game. Throw in a few copy paste overpriced cosmetics in the mtx store and thats them done for another month.

  • thebunnytheBry Bryson Iguess (@thebunnytheBry) reported

    @yeetus_deletus5 @SeaOfThieves Ignoring solo sailors? Lmao dude you're a clown. Solo sloop is the strongest boat in the game right now, if you can't come out positive it's a skill problem. 10000%. Remember when rare said the game isn't designed for solo? Yeah enjoy your 10 second respawn time and invincimast.

  • still_vil Vill (@still_vil) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Thanks for addressing the social issues Will this fix people getting stuck in the sotd at the end? Will it fix people being unable to get into the sotd and having to vote the adventure down & up? If not… Can you put up the known issues for people to read?

  • yeetus_deletus5 Raphael J. (@yeetus_deletus5) reported

    @SeaOfThieves To be honest... No. This doesn't solve the issue. Also im mainly a solo sailer and this adventure is not possible for me at all. I want to know the story and I want to do the adventure. But it's plain simply not possible. Thanks for ignoring solo sailers. T_T

  • dlchief58 Michael Burden (@dlchief58) reported

    @Codezy_ @CreeperRemix @SeaOfThieves LOL, nice try stalker. You seem to forget you stated MY stats and I can see when someone looks at my page....which someone did in the past few minutes. Living rent free in your head! See someone about your insecurity issues.

  • JollySoT JollySoT | Sea of Thieves (@JollySoT) reported

    Been trying to do the Hunters Cry adventure for over 2 hours now. Not having any PvP trouble, the adventure just won’t load. I blame the Pirate Lord. #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate

  • Jumper92PL Jumperovsky (@Jumper92PL) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I've locked this post now. Mostly cuz report was adressed by support, Rare made a decision to partialy fix adventure and people are trying to outsmart each other in comments with stuff that is not even related to this thread.

  • Eljadyem Eljadyem Millagan (@Eljadyem) reported

    @MagicalMeesh @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Same! And I’ve done it multiple times now. I haven’t run into a single problem with other crews. They are all very respectful of the story and experience of said story as received by other sailors. The sea of thieves can be a bloodbath, but the adventures aren’t worth ruining.

  • dlchief58 Michael Burden (@dlchief58) reported

    @Codezy_ @CreeperRemix @SeaOfThieves None of your business what my degrees are (yes plural), but obviously more education than your little brain can comprehend. We've established you're a liar and uneducated as well. Sucks to be you with such insecurity issues ta boot.

  • squeezymcgee squoozles (@squeezymcgee) reported

    @StarBunny17 @Jimpie10 @SeaOfThieves Yes, exactly that. If your only reason for being there is to piss all over anyone trying to do the adventure, then that's where the problem lies. And a surprising amount of people get their jollies on ruining the adventure for other players. That's not fun. That's just *******.

  • JollySoT JollySoT | Sea of Thieves (@JollySoT) reported

    Finished the Hunters Cry adventure with @QuinnScurvy! Didn’t have any issues in regards to other players or PvP. All the other crews worked really well together and we got through it pretty efficiently! Despite the loading issues this morning it was a good time! #SeaOfThieves

  • ScrollsFallout ActuallyEric (@ScrollsFallout) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Biggest issue is the instant respawn. And plz stop synonymizing TDM with spawncamp. With a TDM you die you respawn then go back to the area where the TDMing is. What most ppl are complaining about are ppl taking advantage of the insta-respawns and literally making it unplayable.

  • KevinAGutierre1 Kevin A Gutierrez (@KevinAGutierre1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix mine than. Ive been doing athena and it still aint updating.

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Do you want to do the adventure tomorrow @BrysonTube 👀 Shouldn't have any issues

  • Glowpinkstah Gloria (@Glowpinkstah) reported

    @MagicalGirlKev @SeaOfThieves I don't know I'm so sad because he JUST got his new computer today and he has no issues logging in on his old computer?? We're so confused cuz he's able to sign in on the old one, but is unable to link the same account on his new one. 🫠😭🫠😭

  • Ac3Nigthmare Ac3 (@Ac3Nigthmare) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This great, but are you going to look into the issue where pirates are getting the Alabaster beard error and having their profiles not showing up on the Sea Of Thieves website?
