  • 2nutsinyamouth The Merchant from Resident Evil 4 (@2nutsinyamouth) reported

    @SeaOfThieves RARE PLEASE ABANDON OLD GEN CONSOLE SUPPORT! We need this game to move forward so it doesn’t die. Current gen consoles have been out for 4 years if someone is still playing online Xbox one that is THEIR problem. Focus on improving your game so it doesn’t die.

  • tha_fake_news Tha Fake News (@tha_fake_news) reported

    Nothing worse than cheaters spam-inviting you in Sea of Thieves just to crash your game. How is this still a thing? Fix your report system, @SeaOfThieves. Playing solo shouldn’t mean getting griefed by exploiters. #SeaOfThieves #FixYourGame ahh post 🥀

  • BananaStove BananaStove (@BananaStove) reported

    @Slimey_Pigeon @SeaOfThieves There’s 0 difference for HG and the “setting” to fix it doesn’t always work anyway

  • xSoulessGhostx xSoulessGhostx (@xSoulessGhostx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hourglass is broken right now, it keeps getting partially through a match or right at the beginning then freezes up for both parties, boat kinda floats in the air till met with a disconnect screen

  • lennybr09839124 lenny brown (@lennybr09839124) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Have you even fixed the broken *** game so ppl can even enjoy new content, or old content, or just the game in general

  • Wintharrii Wintharrii (@Wintharrii) reported

    @Slimey_Pigeon @SeaOfThieves The problem is it’s not a SoT issue it’s all on the Xbox/microsoft side of things.

  • demonyouknow_ The Demon You Know (@demonyouknow_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves We don't NEED more FOV!! For the love of all that is good and holy, we need more server stability!!! Every update, the ping gets worse and the FPS gets lower. FIX THE DAMN SERVERS BEFORE YOU TRY TO MELT THEM WITH MORE FOV!!!!

  • FAFOIndianaBoi Chris (@FAFOIndianaBoi) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can we fix the game first?

  • acollard12 Austin “AntiVoxx” Collard 🎮 (@acollard12) reported

    @SeaOfThieves PLEASE FIX THE LOADING SCREEN GLITCH IN HOURGLASS

  • Slimey_Pigeon Slimey Pigeon 🔜 SoT Fest 2025 (@Slimey_Pigeon) reported

    @Primrose12345_ @SeaOfThieves Gee I'm tired. Potentially crash your pc*

  • Vikinggutt98108 Vikinggutt (@Vikinggutt98108) reported

    @SeaOfThieves When are the ones in charge going to step down or realize that the team needs to change direction for this potentialy good game.. I do belive the developers are satisfied with this and that is one of the main problems. Get someone who cares and has ambition first of all 😒

  • ashyra_ ashyra (@ashyra_) reported

    @RockstarJinx @SeaOfThieves If you’re having an issue with a trophy, make a support ticket.

  • miglioee45179 Noah Miglioee (@miglioee45179) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @EliEelEye Fix the sev

  • IamGreen112 Green (@IamGreen112) reported

    @SeaOfThieves PLEASE MAKE SURE PIRATE PROFILES WORK PROPERLY AND DON'T INTRODUCE ANY PROGRESS ERASING ISSUES.

  • _Ecsio_ Esio (@_Ecsio_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Another broken event cuz of the broken matchmaking system. Nice work!

  • RuanKno Keg man (@RuanKno) reported

    @SeaOfThieves let’s fix the anti cheat @RareLtd can’t get much out of this event when there’s cheaters every second game

  • z_Prestige_ z_Prestige (@z_Prestige_) reported

    @Coppertailwolf @XboxSupport @SeaOfThieves First time tonight back on the game in over a month and I got this spam invite issue not 5 minutes into the game...

  • ThatJCBailey JC Bailey (@ThatJCBailey) reported

    @TheJackieB @SeaOfThieves And alts are free, just login to a different email, lmao.

  • AncientPoppet Ancient Poppet 🦜🏴‍☠️🎮🌺🏝️ (@AncientPoppet) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Absolutely no boarding sound at all the entire weekend, fix your game! @SoT_Support

  • flyfishersteven Flyfishersteven (@flyfishersteven) reported

    @spookyjackaboy @SeaOfThieves a lot of us hardly play anymore. Too many game issues that they don't fix.

  • CptnWills Cptn Wills (@CptnWills) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’ll be honest, your servers crash after too many kegs explode, what are you doing to combat the game crashing when a mass amount of these explode?

  • VexusShadow Vexus (@VexusShadow) reported

    @xXEndermanManXx @SeaOfThieves The story is good when they are actually moving it forward thats the problem. I've never seen a more wrong opinion in my life

  • Slimey_Pigeon Slimey Pigeon 🔜 SoT Fest 2025 (@Slimey_Pigeon) reported

    @Primrose12345_ @SeaOfThieves Cheaters will spam you with invites to lag your game and potentially crash your game

  • Hunterkillerst2 THESPYHUNTER (@Hunterkillerst2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I only see things my ship can crash into

  • BlackeyeThe2nd Captain BlackeyeThe2nd (Yo/Ho) (@BlackeyeThe2nd) reported

    @W0ty__ @SeaOfThieves ALSO, unlike every other filler-cosmetic in every other life-service videogame ever, they haven't moved out of Milestones, the PE, and events. No ties to commendations, and not wasting slots in the Plunder Pass.

  • MarineMikeK Michael krick (@MarineMikeK) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are we really adding more explosive stuff to the already broken , fps dropping servers. Oh dear gawd will someone please think of the servers. They can't take anymore

  • CaptMcGuffin Captain McGuffin (also on you know where) (@CaptMcGuffin) reported

    @Wermux @TheJackieB @SeaOfThieves Okay I mean game license= 1 account. Signing in once in an account you can't disconnect after. It's not like it's a new concept, just a very scummy one

  • RockstarJinx RockstarJinx (@RockstarJinx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Will this fix the 100 Kegs on time trophy? Really awful rng to get it

  • Slimey_Pigeon Slimey Pigeon 🔜 SoT Fest 2025 (@Slimey_Pigeon) reported

    @KelbiBaltoro @SeaOfThieves They have a bot that sends out a stupid amount of invites to gamebar - which causes your game to lag / crash

  • ThatJCBailey JC Bailey (@ThatJCBailey) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Like legit, why should i just buy a second copy of the game. Or just login to my xbox account with an alt? Its free and I get the same thing: a second account idgaf about. No thanks Rare, rethink this one. Give me outfit loadouts instead, I'll gladly pay Ancient Coins for slots.
