    @RTfan117 @waumpers @SeaOfThieves bruv, i dont play sea of broken, if u actually knew the game like i do seeing as i used to play since day 1 u wouldnt be talkin you're ego out on me lmfao

  • Jade_Starchild Jade Starchild (@Jade_Starchild) reported

    Been playing a lot of @SeaOfThieves lately with the husband, and my biggest complaint is when you disconnect as the captain it's no longer your boat and having to leave and start a whole new voyage. Can we get a fix for it? It hurts waiting for load times and losing resources.

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @brah_mont @LipsBeSmacking @SeaOfThieves It is strait from rare them selves that the only reason they dont crack down on alliances formed with tools outside of the game, is because not enough people do it to bother with the effort. So if you have a problem with it, thats rares own take.

  • CaptainJuggalo Captain Juggalo (@CaptainJuggalo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the Captain Ship lag trigger on Xbox caused by all the trinkets loading in when you near another captained ship. And stop pushing viewership away from SoT Creator Crew streamers during Drop events It's hard to #BeMorePirate when Rare needs to #BeMoreLoyal

  • Morcath Morcath (@Morcath) reported

    @Lapiznotlapis @SeaOfThieves I'm talking about no new content at all. Let's see, yet another PvE nerf. This game is not forgiving for new ppl, you have to stick around and learn, it's just like that, PvE difficulty is not the problem. Recycled skins. Couple of good QoL changes. But there's no new content

  • Syncourt Syncourt (@Syncourt) reported

    @GirthBurgers @SeaOfThieves They never target the 3 main things that need fixing... Anti-cheat, server performance and ranged+melee hit detection. I'd be happy with a fix that just solved those long standing issues that can actually ruin games.

  • shestolemykido tap-in (@shestolemykido) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can u get banned from doing the join a player glitch? And if so how

  • Hoody_chan2002 Hoodydotexe (@Hoody_chan2002) reported

    @CptDazzen @SamuelCFord1017 @SeaOfThieves the Name "login bonus" should rly click in peoples heads, its what those items are lol

  • northlending Alexander (@northlending) reported

    @SmithyBug @SeaOfThieves Okay. I disagree than..they need to present content on seasons, not what is expected as patches. Qol and bug fix are imo not content.

  • Detox1993 Detox (@Detox1993) reported

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves Hopefully fixing alot of issues I cannot wait a new chest to steal

  • ux92 ux92 (@ux92) reported

    @Monst3rCaptain @SeaOfThieves What's the problem with adding things back so more people can enjoy them? And this is coming from someone who has the day one eyepatch

  • CaptainJuggalo Captain Juggalo (@CaptainJuggalo) reported

    @Hodgegoulashi @SeaOfThieves You might not work for them but you aren't ignoring the stuff you don't like, like you claim. Also, putting down people trying to actually do something about the problems with the game is enabling the poor support from the developers.

  • HoldoViii AdmiralHoldoVIII (@HoldoViii) reported

    @RuinedAlchemist @SeaOfThieves You have a problem. Merick needed a replacement for some time. How do I even respond to this, you believe that stephens spoils should remain empty? Delusional

  • FlintlockAvery Adrian Flintlock Avery (@FlintlockAvery) reported

    @Just_Flinty @SeaOfThieves Yeah chillin, I just saw your post an was like he's absolutely correct. As a day1 it's a dead game an has been for a minute, money grab after money grab for lame color changes with Zero real new content., I just moved on to other games. I just wish they would fix it

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @northlending @SeaOfThieves It has indeed been 5 years, and thats 5 years of aged dated mechanics and bugs. Seeing the state of the game, i would prefer a massive season update dedicated to qol and fixes, than more mechanics that stack ontop of the mess there is, making even more issues. So, disagree.

  • Evilslither1 cpt teach (@Evilslither1) reported

    @pxtwitit @SeaOfThieves Just get good at pvp problem solve

  • Leon_DeWitt_ Leon DeWitt (@Leon_DeWitt_) reported

    @TheGennarator @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves True, I almost forgot about that... yet I still believe that since we already have some other tattoes, covering the same area, perhaps, there already is a solution to that problem (Guess I'll ask my friend with a female pirate to put on the newest tattoo to see how it works).

  • brah_mont Brahmont (@brah_mont) reported

    @SmithyBug @LipsBeSmacking @SeaOfThieves So they "clearly" don't like their fanbase? Lol, what's your problem dude

  • MakakarTTV Makakar #SoTFest (@MakakarTTV) reported

    @OhhSass @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Seems to have been broken for the past few days :/

  • BetterBhvr BetterBHVR (@BetterBhvr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Too bad you guys never fixed the matchmaking issues/bugs, added new modes like island TDM that teams could vote on in the tavern, and only ever did one arena event and balance update. You killed the mode with your apathy, not the playerbase. Now the game is just emptier.

  • Doom_State Doom State  (@Doom_State) reported

    @epicsugarplumx @MadEyeMuldo @SeaOfThieves I have it and have 0 problems at all with it releasing hell I’d even like if they released it so that I could see it more often

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @stinklecheecks @SeaOfThieves The meg is extremely easy to avoid when it spawns, and krakens are only a problem on the galleon. If your entire intent in pvp was "if i cant have it then no one can" then thats just cruddy sportsmanship, and many people are glad rare put their foot down on it.

  • EliteSnipersRF EliteSnipersRF🏳️‍🌈(Bisexual) (@EliteSnipersRF) reported

    @gaming_4nj4 @SeaOfThieves Hopefully with the new update in season 9 this will stop this issue that happens

  • fleeblorp Fleeblorp (@fleeblorp) reported

    @ThorneFenix @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support yeah please help, we were really lookin forward to doing these anniversary challenges he has tried: -restarting the game (thrice) -restarting his computer -verifying game files and so far it has still displayed the same error. i dont believe he was banned either

  • CaptainJuggalo Captain Juggalo (@CaptainJuggalo) reported

    @Hodgegoulashi @SeaOfThieves Considering Rare's "support" team is a joke and they have yet to address the problem, every post is the best post to bring it up. I'm raising awareness for a problem they ignore and will continue to do so until they make some changes. Thanks for bumping my reply

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @ascarytoaster @darksage68 @SeaOfThieves I think ego issue is more on par... it may be caused by skill issue, but definitely an issue of being unwilling to accept a loss, which is a pretty bloody big ego issue.

  • ImSilica Silica (@ImSilica) reported

    @shenanigoon @SeaOfThieves Yea I saw the post and I agree with her, I couldn’t careless about the watch x hours on twitch or login before (Date) but specific adventures or events yea keep that exclusive for those who did it

  • ThorinDurin Yentl💧 ıɹɐ ʇǝɯ ı 💛😭 (@ThorinDurin) reported

    @stormisjesus @SeaOfThieves I agree! Never had a problem harpooning loot on the ship, it’s more realistic to do it together and having to take it off the hook. I wish they’d only do it for solo ships

  • TheAnnoyingPoet The Annoying poet (Islik) (@TheAnnoyingPoet) reported

    @rarehatessolos @SeaOfThieves Well most players do sail solo, but I don’t think that would fix the issue. It would likely make another one. And aim assist I would say isn’t necessary. But a optional cross hair on screen would be great.

  • HobeJoshua Joshua Hobé (@HobeJoshua) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Halo Get the game working better with all the money you all are getting instead of being cash grabbers with a broken game
