  • SadBarnacleBoy Sad Barnacle Boy (@SadBarnacleBoy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves sea of laggy broken servers

  • AlphaWolf1679 AlphaWolf (@AlphaWolf1679) reported

    @SmithyBug @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves Pvp is fundementally flawed in many ways and most peaple here dont realise it cause they seem to think that the only problem with pvp is hitreg but honestly through my 276hrs on this game i havent seen it happen once but yet ive noticed so many other issues keeping this game down

  • AlphaWolf1679 AlphaWolf (@AlphaWolf1679) reported

    @JamesOuroboros @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves Then this game will die one of the devs themself knows how **** this games pvp is and this update didnt help all it is going to so is be a bandaid fix if even that this game will always suffer because peaple will just bully pve players

  • Yuriy31191648 Yuriy (@Yuriy31191648) reported

    @SeaOfThieves New update is broken right now i hope you can fix the problems soon

  • JnrsaKruger Junior kruger (@JnrsaKruger) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else having a massive lag spike during a sea battle with the opposite faction? Everything runs smooth as usual but as soon as the proximity of the 2 ships gets close, i get a long delay where the game freezes. Makes it impossible to win 😒 and no, its not my connection..

  • jerboiaSOT Jerboia (@jerboiaSOT) reported

    Season 8 is the greatest update in SoT history. Already had so many memorable moments in the 3 hours I played. Only issue, please fix the infinite blackscreens. @SeaOfThieves

  • bootycup_ Bootycup_ (@bootycup_) reported

    @SmithyBug @JVASHDRAGONGRT @SeaOfThieves Lol no it was pvp being broken. This game is literally **** with their code. How do cannons, the core mechanic of the game just get bugged like this? Or supplies resetting? Whole game is a dumpster fire and the hype will die shortly like any other update.

  • pkane11384 Adam Fox’s Chin (@pkane11384) reported

    Another @SeaOfThieves update and more server and emporium issues. Never fails.

  • MysticTrix91 MysticTrix (@MysticTrix91) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else keep having Alabasterbeard error ? No just me ?

  • Because_Musk BYE BYE BYE (@Because_Musk) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This system is broken. I've been talking to Reapers.they are using this to instant level 5 then attack pve treasure ships. One player doesn't fight at all, just forfits, after two encounters like this the reaper is level 5 the maps are full of 5s.

  • chrishoulden86 chris (@chrishoulden86) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Well the hype for season 8 soon got ruined be **** tons of lag

  • CalypsoAegle CalypsoAegle (@CalypsoAegle) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Does this fix ships chasing me and my friend on a sloop catching up to us in 2 minutes and then following us for about an hour while we are only trying to do a quest. It’s unbalanced for pirates who just wanna quest and anybody who says otherwise obviously hasn’t been chased.

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @AlphaWolf1679 @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves Pvp does have have some issues, but im sorry to say, hitreg doesnt cause every loss, its a small part to do with it, but a lot of it boils down to skill still. Little timmy shooting his cannon shots a mile over big daves head is the clear reason why little timmy lost to big dave

  • CMPUNKNEXUS100 Number 1 (@CMPUNKNEXUS100) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Oh dear, PVP content but the old issues still there to be seen. Not a pvp player but thought gotta give it a go as its a pvp update and 1 v 1 and he comes onto my ship I point blank blundered them and they survive and 1 shot blunders me to death, no words. Back to hiatus I go.

  • charlyeML Шарлыe (@charlyeML) reported

    @SeaOfThieves we experienced respawning bug after losing battleship in matchmaking (2 times/3) one of our crew had unlimited loading, and the two others couldnt teleport via mermaid cause the ship didn't respawned. Had to leave and join game to fix it

  • bootycup_ Bootycup_ (@bootycup_) reported

    @SmithyBug @JVASHDRAGONGRT @SeaOfThieves Never said I expect no bugs but EVERY UPDATE has some pretty substantial bugs that they hardly can fix.

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @bootycup_ @JVASHDRAGONGRT @SeaOfThieves No, the one who looks pretty dumb, is the one who expects any major update in ANY live service game to NO bugs. Your entire point earlier was hitreg, even when i literally accepted hitreg was an issue, you ignored my points and basically responded basically with "but hitreg!"

  • TrishB73837335 Trish B (@TrishB73837335) reported

    @SeaOfThieves anyone else experiencing lag that is making the game unplayable?

  • BrendenStokkel1 MOB_xGAMERx (@BrendenStokkel1) reported

    Anyone else getting the glitch where you cant fire your ******* cannons in a battle in @SeaOfThieves?

  • BrutalGaming101 Brutal Gaming (@BrutalGaming101) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix Alabasterbeard please, I can't even get in the game

  • Brandon16475830 Brandon kraft (@Brandon16475830) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Have my Xbox set to Xbox with controllers only yet I still get jumped on by PC player well doing factions broken af just lost my streak to some bull ****

  • AlphaWolf1679 AlphaWolf (@AlphaWolf1679) reported

    @SmithyBug @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves Theyr probably going to change their minds on this once this **** blows up in their face cause this update will not fix whats wrong with the pvp this games pvp is basicly are you more ppl than them? Yes then you win its not based on fair matches not even in this mode they added

  • destmorr Destmor (@destmorr) reported

    @joejoe1985666 @SeaOfThieves @LouiseRoberts_ I am not super against that recolour, it might work nice with some cosmetics, but these are not his gloves, that's a literal fact. I don't know why they did this. Hope they can fix it or rename the gloves.

  • GREENRA56347271 GREEN RANGER (@GREENRA56347271) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Lagging, freezing, black screen, rubberbanding, merm won’t take you back to your ship. Another broken update and another overrated season. Same broken mess. Free 2 play games play better than this. Game is embarrassing now.

  • JulianFuchs15 DichterNox (@JulianFuchs15) reported

    @AlastoRune @SeaOfThieves 90% of the game is pve and 10% is PVP so why is there a problem that the PVP players get a little bit content?

  • Sirius_Bond Florian Huwer (@Sirius_Bond) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i cant loggin...becoming alabasterbeard error all the time and YES me internet is working!

  • xMLG_Drizzy Dave+ (@xMLG_Drizzy) reported

  • HobeJoshua Joshua Hobé (@HobeJoshua) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Heavy glitching, fix ur game man, i keep dropping frames when entering a fight, also fix the goddamn hitreg

  • AlastoRune Eduardo H (@AlastoRune) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Pvp players get everything the same in pve mode, pvp players get everything from tall tales with no problem, pvp players steal loot and sink the boats of new players who can never learn to play because of bullying ...
