    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves This is so bad. Almost as bad as when I was attacked for giving feedback in Alpha when the rainbow flag was put in the game. I thought it would cause issues for a game I loved, and it has. (That was a private forum) Yet it was shared all over Twitter and I was attacked brutally.

    @RobertByron23 @SeaOfThieves Its 3 per player, which means up to 12 on a galleon. It takes more skill to use a blunderbuss then it does to use a bonecaller. And if you were a good player, you would be able to outplay the ladder guard, even with a blunderbuss. So yea, it a massive skill issue on youre side.

    @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves No, you are right. None of us should be asking partners to stand down. I am allowed to choose whose content I want to support as a result. The problem is that these things have been going on for years at this point. It could have been prevented if Rare stepped in and stopped CM a long time ago. Rare is 100% accountable for who they have representing their game. CM are representatives. I ain't gonna force anyone to step down or take a stand, but if it appears that someone is trying to leverage a charity stream to boost their numbers and appear as a good person, for a charity that doesn't actively help OUR victims, I'm unfollowing them. If they are the least bit fake, I'm unfollowing. That's my choice and no ones gonna miss me around...so the decision is most likely mutual anyways. I absolutely do want to see a bigger push though and nothing is going to change without it. Hell, some streamers haven't mentioned it but they have been streaming other games lately...silently protesting already despite making a statement. Kudos to them.

    @SeaOfThieves I genuinely can’t comprehend the thinking behind this. You’ve proven time and time again that you have no idea how to run a live service. Not everything needs to be reimagined just for the sake of changing it… Is critical thinking against Rare’s company policy or something?

    @SeaOfThieves Can you investigate the cinnamonbeard error on PS5? Getting into PS5 only lobbies with crossplay turned off doesn’t work currently. Turning crossplay back on allows me to get into a server.

  • Twigleaf_Twigs

    @EqualTree3 @SeaOfThieves Their event last week, the pop up plunder..... Didn't even work. So extending, or retrying is futile. They have no clue what they're doing. That's a fact. No amount of extending will fix it.

    @aDreamingNomad @SuperRegGuy @SeaOfThieves ...so long that I used PayPal refund service as the eligibility was running out (and you could literally no longer contact the store).

    @oGrimz @SeaOfThieves Id rather they run events consistently over the next few months and just fix issues during that time. Still gives us things to do

    @SeaOfThieves Laughable. WE TOLD YOU ABOUT DIVING ISSUES ON INSIDERS YEARS AGO!

  • KingHotdogPig
    KingHotdogPig (@KingHotdogPig) reported

    @Musks_a_cunt @SeaOfThieves To protect players they should start by firing j0 and Shirah and updating their policies to better protect players. But that has nothing to do with the rest of the dev teams. The people building the game don’t control staffing or policy decisions. Expecting those people to stop working because of failures in another department isn’t right, and blaming them for issues they have no authority over makes all of us who have been talking about this look stupid. j0 has been actively deleting evidence during an ongoing investigation (which is illegal). And Shirah has been deleting peoples messages in the discord who speak up about this. That is who the community should be against.

  • NastPlays
    Nast (@NastPlays) reported

    @xxMUSHI @5623CieraRaciel @SeaOfThieves ******** you mean "story"? Also the two game modes you talk about, one is PVP, and the other doesn't allow more than one ship on a server at a time, which again, was the crux of my issue. Also, literally none of that actually addressed anything I said.

    @SeaOfThieves I would go back to playing this game on Steam, But I have to sign in to my Xbox Account to play it and I can't be bothered. That though my Gmail Account. So I might as well get this game for my Xbox Console (Series X) with a different account.

    @UnclePudge_ @SeaOfThieves Although I only ever get to play solo, Which is 10x harder especially with the Broken Robot that likes to suck out your brains. Would love to play it with a bunch of people

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves The emporium seems to not work as well as RARE would like to, given that they are restructuring it into a Fortnite like shop that swaps out cosmetics now and then (which is dumb as heck). But the real issue many won't spend money is because many sets look absolutely out of place

    @coldsot_ @SeaOfThieves I had this bug in insiders- because it was testing I didn’t leave and saw it thro and had people pissed but I was like “literally following through on the testing- the entire purpose of right now” That being said I got the same bug yesterday and scuttled cause I don’t want to win like that XD it’s a very broken bug - you’re untouchable too outside the ring closing in. I imagine a lot of people will do the same in that situation, but unfortunately a lot won’t.

    @Kk123153210 @Giovann69642526 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, but this is not first not working update. They had more time, literally removed all the content from season 19 to makie this mode work and even moved it for a month later to release and it didnt work. Then, they release it again after more time and it has even more issues

    @SeaOfThieves Just gonna uninstall at this point, im tired of wasting hours on this game to get **** service in return.

  • OphieIRL
    OphieIRL (@OphieIRL) reported

    @CrustySockPuppy @SeaOfThieves This is a reasonable response. My perspective is that the issue of player safety has been talked about over and over again using the framework they provided both in the ticket system and in the partner discord. Nothing changed, it was ignored.

  • Game7DS
    Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reported

    The bug where you "Can't Grab" crates seems to exist in the Weekender Doubloon Run Voyage. If you can't grab the cargo.. Buying a captaincy item OR merchant supply crate SOMETIMES fixes the issue.. Not guaranteed every time unfortunately... The issue seems CONSISTENT at Crescent Isle specifically. Not sure if Plunder has issues or not and maybe got lucky. Hope the intel helps others! @Seaofthieves #SeaofThieves

    @FHCarSalesMan @SeaOfThieves true it will, but as content for a season?! that is my issue. :(

    @TheGoozman99 @RobertByron23 @SeaOfThieves It was broken. Having up to 12 skeletons on a solo slooper, is incredibly broken.

  • Doomblud2308
    Doomblud (@Doomblud2308) reported

    @ChampExxotic @Captain_Falcore @SeaOfThieves This never was a problem because when a server dies you get merged. That's how we used to "dive" to new servers at reaper 5. Sure it was slower and less in our control. But the consequence of someone raising the Reaper's Bones emissary was way greater for the server.

    @MurpheyLives @SeaOfThieves @Rare_Gamer Not calling Murphey a **** btw nor am i gonna say he isnt. But when you clearly knew where **** was going, you are part of the problem expecially in a space where you have kids in.
