    So we just stole the new athena tornado from some one and as soon as we killed the last player, the entire thing stopped and ghost ships disappeared. No loot anywhere. Is this a glitch? Or safeguard against stealing it? @JoeNeate1 @SeaOfThieves @ChappersChapman

    Just spent hours playing the 2 hours killing megaladons in the new adventure for the end to not work! @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR GAME!!!! THANKS FOR WASTING MY TIME. #SeaOfThieves #SoT

    JeffercakesGamez (@JeffercakesG) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You need to fix what happens on server migration - we did 3 of the megs and then got hit with a migration and it wiped all of our progress. Gave up as we had already spent 2.5 hours sailing across the map to complete it. Really disheartening and needs to be fixed.

    @GuzzBozo @ShadowFang1996 @SeaOfThieves Not worked hard - lucked into you mean. Everything else is grind based, with well over a thousand hours and still not seeing one yet EVERYTHING else in game has been achieved…seems kinda broken tbh

    Anyone else's #SeaOfThieves #TheShroudedDeep adventure not working? I complete chapter 1 and then it just removes the quest from my ship? @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd #bugged

    @Taaaaamas @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd This is a great idea, better transparency and guidance. A tooltip like this would sit at the bottom of the pop up module, as the title and error message would need to read first, with further guidance being collapsible. Nice design!

  • HuntyouDown21
    JimmyD (@HuntyouDown21) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Make sure people can't cancel the voyage when they see the shrouded ghost because if they do that they will probably get the commendation if so please fix that before release

    @OtherFanboy @XRayLexx @SeaOfThieves Wow so it 100% does need 2 crews? Well I'm 100% uninterested. Hungering deep was a huge issue cause of this, no clue what possesed them to do it again then

    @InkyGhosts @SeaOfThieves Gonna save you the trouble and tell you that the voyage ain't worth doing.

  • MinkRoyal
    RoyalMink (@MinkRoyal) reported

    @noob76052507 @SeaOfThieves It's a small issue if it's only happening to adventure megs but the ongoing weak server performance is a big bummer/issue imo! They should fix this asap! If necessary take the servers 12h-24h offline to fix it! :/

    @SeaOfThieves My crew and I played the Shrouded Deep voyage today. We came across an issue after two server resets a hour apart. Two of our Megaladon souls disappeared from the summons table and I wasn't up for doing it again. That's what we get for playing it on the day the update is put out!

  • eldiswen
    Eldiswen (@eldiswen) reported

    @SeaOfThieves For all those people who have killed the Shrouded Ghost, we hoped that with this we would finally achieve the achievement that corresponds to us and that due to your problems and errors we do not have it. That if it seems to me a lack of respect and not the other

    @AlexL0519 @SeaOfThieves Then don’t play it. Pretty simple. Problem solved :)

  • 1Chenzo
    Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    Are there checkpoints in this new adventure in #SeaofThieves ? Can we get it part of the way done, disconnect and then continue another day, @SeaOfThieves ? I see people waiting for other crews, but if none show, can you just try again at a later time without starting over?

    My pc doesn't run games very well at all anymore. Hopped on #SeaOfThieves today to pay tribute to when it used to run well... Boat crashed twice due to the lag but I still managed to find and sell a reapers chest in the 30 minutes I played for. Good memories. <3

    @SAIKOsean @digital_firefly @SeaOfThieves You are totally right. I read that and I thought it was a new feature, not a solved issue. I didn't know that there were problems with that. Thank you. I delete the original tweet so as to not confuse nobody else.

    domonkosh (@domonkosh1) reported

    @Taaaaamas @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd With that being said, the in-brackets error title “lazybeard”/“lavenderbeard” etc, should sit at a title level in terms of hierarchy rather than in brackets at the end of the message. Visually reads like system error code rather than error message.

    oh dont mind me just sitting here on a loading screen for the past 20 mins trying to get on to the ferryman on @SeaOfThieves so i can see if that fixes my game.... Please fix your game rn i was unable to get supplies from the merchant i bought and fight the next meg. Please fix.

  • Athaelvis
    Pete Atha (@Athaelvis) reported

    @Phantaxus @SeaOfThieves Doesn't change my other issues. If all you get is a title and a cosmetic, I'm not that bothered, and I'll wait for them to release something else for the solo players. I'm sure that 90% of players are sound, it's just that I only seem to meet the 10% who want to ruin it for me

  • iJustWantNothin
    Nanuk (@iJustWantNothin) reported

    @hovdog @SeaOfThieves Im guessing when my buddy turned in the item to finish the quest up. He hit reset. Because she started talking from the intro. Since we hadnt played for a long time. And knew nothing about the quest. We assumed it was broken and left it to be patched. Turned out we were wrong

    I'm having trouble playing the game on the Windows version. When I appear in the tavern the game freezes and won't let me play. @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support #SeaOfThieves

    @SeaOfThieves You guys need to make your pvp better designed, I am so sick of being killed by random people and not being able to defend myself. Fix it or I'm uninstalling my game.

    @ShadowFang1996 @SeaOfThieves You will get an item and a title, there's an incentive. If you don't like it or it's not enought for you that's your problem. It's an adventure that will last only a few weeks making the event and rewards possibly exclusives that's another incentive.
