EasyBoarder 🛹 (@EasyBoarder) reported@TheDruhMooreon @codeman25955 @SeaOfThieves Dude's out here spreading drama. Let the new players enjoy all the wonders SoT has to offer! Sure there's a cheater problem, but there's also ways around it ESPECIALLY for a new player. And updates haven't been the same, but that doesn't matter to a new player. Let them have fun.
-
Lynnalia (@LynnaliaTV) reported@fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves Epic does it to "dogfood" their own engine, showing it off and also finding development issues. Considering their scale, that has massive value. Rare has no such incentive, especially when the game already runs so poorly.
-
Notcaringmuch (@notcaringmuch) reported@squidkiller8781 @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves well look, cheaters aren't really a big problem now. There were less of them than the actual number of bugs. They made them "grind" to be able to play Hourglass, so most risks their main profile in the process or completely given up on playing with those. (Yes on PC)

LpG_VeLoCiTy (@LpG_VeLoCiTy) reported@SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Custom server is broken. You host a game and load in and 10 seconds in there is a connection error issue and you cant play custom seas. Please help. Regular adventure works no issues though.

NoName101 (@noob76052507) reported@FHCarSalesMan @SeaOfThieves true it will, but as content for a season?! that is my issue. :(
-
Scomex (@scomex_) reported@SeaOfThieves Player that has played since day 1 here,✋ Horrible experience. Hopped back to test the event and new doubloon system. Doubloons not coming through, servers lagging like hell on last ship standing (ships flying, long waiting time...) Please, I love the game, fix something🙏
-
Peter (@Peter7wzn) reported@SeaOfThieves Why are servers down suddenly?
-
Squidkiller8781 (@squidkiller8781) reported@AboutSelphy @SeaOfThieves because loss farming is a strat. As long as there are points awarded for losing, this is going to be an issue. To be clear, i think it IS an issue, loss farming. But your openly flexing on using an exploit to deprive people of something the devs think they deserve. Just stop.
-
Aaron (@a_a_r0nn) reported@TormentedTofu @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves "Correction: j0 and shirah have been deleting messages" this was a completely different CM. They CMs are rare employees and their actions reflect those of the company when doing business at work. The issue is larger than it seems despite attempts to minimize
-
Falcon |-/ (@CptStepFalcon) reported@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
-
TerMornétor (@TerMornetor) reported@SeaOfThieves do you know that you kick players for idling WHILE ACTIVELY BROWSING AND PURCHASING FROM SHOPS?! Just thought you’d want to fix the dumb bug😒
-
MEMPAVRAI (@mempavrai) reported@SeaOfThieves @girlfromthecave he tried but the server got DDOS'ed
-
Tidey (@tidseas) reported@Steep_Mini @SeaOfThieves Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

girlfromthecave (@girlfromthecave) reported@mempavrai @SeaOfThieves im a she and i never got ddos'ed.

The Clouted Ghost🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🏴☠️ (@DannyLumber1) reported@Kurumi02_T @SeaOfThieves Shame... glitterbeard was working on a fix for hit reg too
-
darren hambrick (@Dreamur2000) reported@Fi1es @SeaOfThieves Awful just awful gutting the bone caller cause people whine to much about it is not the way to go keep it the same and force players to actually use a sword since it takes one good swing to get rid of the problem
-
almtychcknpoo (@AlmtyChcknPoo) reportedWe have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well. And it doesn't matter if you write to Microsoft HR or the Board or anyone else. Your email gets dumped in the trash. Your voice doesn't matter. CMs for video games can do whatever they want apparently and silence their community. If only you knew how bad it is over here. We feel your pain, though. As a consumer, we aren't allowed to have an opinion or voice them.
-
Candice Weatherby (@Twigleaf_Twigs) reported@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.
-
Beardageddon (@RealLifeWookie) reported@fraudatori @SeaOfThieves I am lost, are you agreeing that you have to login and play, or disagreeing? Because either way you have to log in and play to be on the ledgers, that is an irrefutable fact. Nowhere have your screenshots proved your initial argument that you're automatically on the ledger
-
OphieIRL (@OphieIRL) reportedHey, so, no. You didn't listen for years. Your community management team didn't do their jobs. Fire the people who failed the commu ity. Stop this virtue signaling bullshit and prove you recognize the problems by removing the people responsible. #seaofthieves #rare
-
SweetSandman (@SweetSandMan) reported@supermariopla11 @SeaOfThieves That's...that's not what's causing server performance to suck. Like at all. Preventing expansion of the game, maybe. But not server issues. If anything, high end PCs with uncapped FPS and/or max graphics cause more server strain. But even that isn't the underlying issue.
-
Rusty (@RussXB1) reported@SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Honestly tired of the constant excuses and issues. This company has fallen to below mediocre level.
-
Lothlend (@Lthlnd) reported@SteezyyTommyy @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Maybe he should use his fingers to actually talk about the issues facing the community instead of grandstanding about “delete muh account” and farming moral applause. “Recent events” tells people absolutely nothing. Hope this helps!

Riku Nova (@tyleraj56) reported@SeaOfThieves Big surprise sea of thieves is broken
-
THESPYHUNTER (@Hunterkillerst2) reported@LazyLakePaul @SeaOfThieves Imma warn you, a few streamers who’ve played SoT recently kept getting DDOS
-
AboutSelphy (@AboutSelphy) reportedSome @SeaOfThieves viewers/streamers really need a reality check on what cheating actually looks like. Watched a streamer get sniped 3x in an hour today. The fights were suspicious (insane air shots, constant mid-air hits, etc.), but the chat was screaming "cheater" for things that were easily debunked. Ladder speeds were normal on VOD, and "insta-kills" were just players not being full HP. It’s easy to lose cool live, but we have to analyze before we accuse. Grateful the streamer kept a level head. The REAL issue? Public sites still exist that track specific players and server ship counts. How is this still live after a months? Cloudflare should be handing over data for a lawsuit at this point. Hoping this reaches the right eyes. @ChappersChapman @S0nicbob

Bumblebee Tuna Studio (@BumbleStudio) reported@Bellingham_5x @SeaOfThieves I turned my crossplay settings on and it seems to fix it for me
-
Boca G (@BocaG) reported@JayBlu45 @VoicemasterTV @SeaOfThieves Yeah because a Gally chasing a sloop around the sea for 45 minutes is soooooo fun. 4-6 vs 1 is not a skill issue, and get better or get lost is so childish it’s almost maddening!
-
Juke (@JukstJuke) reported@RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Same. I quit sot when they removed quickswap and made all combat clunky as a result of the fix, i will not come back to sot but i still follow the game, i played sot since 2018 until season 10 religiously, all my friends quit around that time too.
-
Smoke (@SmokeBeardTV) reported@Psychobaker_24 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves i dont believe thats up to you or me to decide that, lets just wait for the company to address the problem publicly.
