    Hey @SeaOfThieves fix your game the blunder is over powered and let’s trash players think they are good

  • HxC_FallenDream BPH Wussie (@HxC_FallenDream) reported

    @Gargomon251 @SeaOfThieves Appears to be a connection issue to the game servers. This error usually follows strange in-game behavior such as chests that cannot be opened, skeletons that cannot be killed, or random ship placement. Can occur shortly after you sink an enemy player ship ...for unknown reasons.

  • HxC_FallenDream BPH Wussie (@HxC_FallenDream) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hazelnutbeard emote is the best cause it happens every 2 hours automatically. Force quit game, play for 2 more hours then Hazelnutbeard emote. Rinse and repeat. PLZ FIX. it's been months dealing with this.

  • EddieThe_Bear Eddie Kvammen (@EddieThe_Bear) reported

    @suchatilter @SeaOfThieves They're aware of it. They would fix it if it was easy to fix. Invent an original comment/opinion and I might listen to you.

  • JoshIsBB Laird of Lochaber (@JoshIsBB) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Allmondbeard trouble, yall got any tips?

  • bartho1omeus Bartho1omeus (@bartho1omeus) reported

    @SeaOfThieves When I log onto the insider build I get denimbeard. When I try to login to the website I get the message I'm permantly banned. I don't see any reason why I got banned. Can you please remove this? Thank you in advance.

  • QrtrMasterFilth Quartermaster Filth™ ☠️ (@QrtrMasterFilth) reported

    @Plecotuz @SeaOfThieves / Do I have problems with the game? Sure! Do I tell the Devs I think SoT should be dead in 6 months and that they do **** all? I don't see how that helps anyone hahaha

  • Plecotuz Dr Nefari0us (@Plecotuz) reported

    @QrtrMasterFilth @SeaOfThieves If we dont talk about the problems they wont fix them, rare have shown that they dont care time and time again, for instance and the most simple reason being hit reg, 3 years and still no fix. Im allowed to be angry at a team for running something i love into the ground

  • riv6l Robby〆 (@riv6l) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd can you guys like, ban players who actually DPI glitch in Arena, oh and also the discord alliances? kinda stupid if you ask me and takes the fun out of the game.

  • RhiaWetherup Rhiannon @StoreUpdate LIIIIIVE! (Comms OPEN) (@RhiaWetherup) reported

    I woke up super late today, being having some trouble sleeping and staying up late last night didn't help xD (worth it for my first game of @SeaOfThieves in a week). But I've eaten, replied to some messages and I'm gonna go for a walk and its to work for me!

  • QrtrMasterFilth Quartermaster Filth™ ☠️ (@QrtrMasterFilth) reported

    @Plecotuz @SeaOfThieves I would have thought that them doing a really nice, really cool thing for you would at least mean you'd have the courtesy to not be a **** about the problems you have with the game or the problems the game has. /

  • RobinPM100 RobinPM100 (@RobinPM100) reported

    @SeaOfThieves guys, can you fix screen tearing in Sea of thieves Xbox Series X 4k 60 fps? It is horrible! Does this AMD graphics chip handle adaptive vsync? Do something about it, thanks

  • rcasale42 Bellicose (@rcasale42) reported

    @EddieThe_Bear @suchatilter @SeaOfThieves I liked this sail a lot. They should fix hit reg.

  • therealpricey Andy Price 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚡️ (@therealpricey) reported

    I couldn't get the @SeaOfThieves stream up last night due to sound issues. I think they have been sorted and fixed now. Testing seems to be good.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

  • 2DownGaming Geovanie Legend (@2DownGaming) reported

    @boardgameyogi @SeaOfThieves I have a problem as well but that problem is that I am not playing sea of thieves.

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR SERVERS pls it takes an hour just to get in

  • suchatilter Jake Peralta (@suchatilter) reported

    @EddieThe_Bear @SeaOfThieves İ'm not going anywhere until they fix that problem...

  • Capt_Ballzonia 👁‍🗨 Captain Ballzonia 🏴‍☠️ #SotShot (@Capt_Ballzonia) reported

    @JLegomonkey @SeaOfThieves Yerp. This was one of the only times we sailed so I figured I would get my lantern capture fix quickly when we ended up at the Ferry. Don’t even think I was invited either lol I rudely joined on him awhile back

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @emilyyjadee_ @SeaOfThieves @MmmCherryade Lol no the problem isn't mine. It's yours. You are one acting like the only possible player interaction that counts as such is attacking each other. It's common in those who came late, followed streamers to the game. That's not what SoT started as.

  • TheSnackCake Alrighty (@TheSnackCake) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix whatever’s going on. Taking 20 minutes to get into a game and lagging out of servers #SeaofThieves

  • Gargomon251 Gargomon251 (@Gargomon251) reported

    @HxC_FallenDream @SeaOfThieves I'm not sure what that error is but I've never seen it once
