  • BlackStaRonin Blackstar (@BlackStaRonin) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i hope servers can handle the ammount of people stacking and completing commendations & actually count it to their accounts. Last gold & glory i was fishing wreckers to finish off that fish. Sold 80+ of them and not 1 counted. @SoT_Support couldnt help at all due to server issues

  • ShipwrightBona Shipwright Bona 🇮🇹 (@ShipwrightBona) reported

    I'm very worried, my game on Steam suddenly crash on start. I hope I can fix it 😨😭 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • GameUntilYouDie 💀☠ Loki ☠💀 (@GameUntilYouDie) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves But it needs to be updated. The sword play/gun play aspect to me is a bit broken. There's many instances where a player can get 3/4 hits on me with a sword while I can only swing once or twice. The hit boxes are atrocious. I have enemies hit me when I'm 4 feet away from them.

    @SeaOfThieves Fix hit reg

  • rhearhearainbow 🌈Rhea Rainbow🌈Vtuber & VSinger (@rhearhearainbow) reported

    @MartinniTheJawa 🌈It has been a big problem every time I play SoT too. There's someone who always attacks us & then keeps killing us over & over again once we revive. So much so I can't play it much anymore. #SeaOfThieves

  • Falcon59875668 Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @DrakeBG757 @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I more than once chased people who had nothing. You see the problem is that we didn't know if they didn't have anything and even when they say they don't have anything they still might have something. To find out if someone has something we must board ship.

    @SeaOfThieves You need to fix the black screens before any future updates! Just lost a full guilded Athena thanks to a 5 minute black screen with both me and my crewmate, ship sank due to crashing into a rock! will I get it replaced?

  • Lynix87 Cpt Bl4ckScreen (@Lynix87) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your servers @SeaOfThieves stop implementing useless bs 🥰

  • AlmtyChcknPoo almtychcknpoo (@AlmtyChcknPoo) reported

    Pretty disappointed in @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves and @RareLtd for never addressing the colorbeard problem in the room when it comes to SoTTV and Partner. Preferential treatment is unacceptable. Treat everyone as equals. Last Ship Standing finals featured at least 1 yellowbeard.

    @CptDazzen @M3meSaurusRex @SeaOfThieves It’s strange. As it seems quite a few people are having the issue but sea of thieves website don’t claim any issue.

  • futuregoku001 future goku (@futuregoku001) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i just crashed two times again today please fix ur goddamn servers im getting tired of crashing over and over!

  • NR_CAUSTIC NR_CAUSTIC (@NR_CAUSTIC) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Crash game xbox! Fix please!

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @Project88mph @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I completed all of the tall tales solo with no issues. PvP doesn't interfere with them because checkpoints exist.

  • ClumsyJade21 Jade🌙 (@ClumsyJade21) reported

    @Bogiemonster13 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves It's been ridiculous my wife and I are doing siren stuff and spent 20 minutes fighting just for both of our games to crash and lose it all

  • HangryJock HangryJock (@HangryJock) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves having issues updating SOT on PC via Xbox App, won't update so tried fresh install and just comes up ERROR tried multiple restarts, any help? Error Code 0x00000001

  • flyfishersteven Flyfishersteven (@flyfishersteven) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Would take a fix on the Xbox players getting kicked from sessions over Gold and Glory any day right now. It's starting to get really annoying. In a 3 hours session last night on a brig we were kicked like a total of 9 times between the 3 of us.

  • GhostlyRemnant GhostlyRemnant (@GhostlyRemnant) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey why don’t you fix this whole bs of join alliance drop alliance sink. If they join the alliance they can’t leave for 15 minutes and they can’t sink alliances ships without first sinking their own, every hole in a friendly ship is a hole in theirs

  • BeckieeBabeex B e c k i e e 🐝 🌻 (@BeckieeBabeex) reported

    @Trixster13 @SeaOfThieves Definitely sounds like an issue thag sea of thieves have said they are aware of !

  • CptSodit Battlegill Bill (@CptSodit) reported

    @HollowOrpheus @wh1zzrr_ @SeaOfThieves Sniper pistol hitregs too much, personally ima stick with sniper blunder til they fix hitreg

  • notblvdes average BONES enjoyer (@notblvdes) reported

    @FascistaDela @hurricanerules3 @SeaOfThieves if they let you pick between pvp and pve servers how does it affect you if you want to pvp? just join a pvp server and let pve people do their thing. doesn't affect you whatsoever and if anything more people will buy the game I pvp, just saying it's a non-issue

    @Treefittytwo @SeaOfThieves What is your problem with 6 ships we need 10

  • HollowOrpheus HollowOrpheus (@HollowOrpheus) reported

    Should sot have a full season where they just fix bugs eg. hit reg, back track, broken comms and coins server etc. Why or why not #SeaOfThieves

  • RealChaotic1 TheRealChaotic1 (@RealChaotic1) reported

    Personally, I think with the delay for Season 7 in @seaofthieves that we should get a "Community Weekend". Same benefits of the first Community Day event, but make it last twice as long and with 100% less beard errors. #SeaofThieves #BeMorePirate #SoT

  • Hitbotc HitboTC (@Hitbotc) reported

    @DrakeBG757 @SeaOfThieves That’s a separate issue I think. A way to “prestige” trading companies would be fun. Reset the levels.

  • chiu_damian Chiu Damian (@chiu_damian) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix hit reg

  • T1ckleBudd1es T1ckleBudd1es (@T1ckleBudd1es) reported

    I’ve made a valiant effort to get back into @SeaOfThieves but no one I played with before still plays, and the weapons are still broken. How this game hasn’t gone the way of Anthem blows my mind. Sword strikes from 40 ft away….sniper shots that instakill….blunderbuss one shots

    So tired of lagging out on #SeaOfThieves
