  @SeaOfThieves Matchmaking times isn’t the only problem. Supplies, SBMM, and battle circle are the other problems.

  @SeaOfThieves can you fix the 3vs1 ****?

• 
  Dave (@Coel03) reported 9 minutes ago

  @TheApps_ @SeaOfThieves They did the same thing last year. And many old quests are broken and no longer function.

  @SeaOfThieves aaand, of course, it's broken.

  @SeaOfThieves I’m not the only one there’s already a couple YouTubers pointing out these issues

  @BuckoBuckner @SeaOfThieves And going to add that the glitch is only to skip the part of completing the shrine to get to this door. You are not able to glitch past this door.

  @SeaOfThieves I think the matchmaking times are alright I’ve only had an issue a couple times with it taking longer then expected but overall I was very impressed with how well they worked

  @SeaOfThieves If the next update doesn't address the glaring problems with this PvP system, then this system is going to die like arena. Constant hit reg, food reg, matching making dog crap, supplies, blunder bombs frame drops, etc. This is going to kill your gamemode real quick.

  @SeaOfThieves Didn’t even have to get in the game to know there was gonna be issues. keep them coming sot.

  @JacobPlayz_ @SeaOfThieves This is a really good point and would have to fix the speed for sure!

  @SeaOfThieves Thats cool! Please consider to do something about the supply issue, too. Losing all the supplies after a battle is so frustrating.

  Matthew Human (@MeMoreHuman) reported 22 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves fix wait times?

• 
  DoctorMarik (@DoctorMarik) reported 23 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves pushing through the grind. Heck I haven't even talked about the issues with combat either, with animation canceling double guns, blunder bomb spams, silent boarding, etc. That's a different conversation, but it does affect this game mode too. -‐

  @SeaOfThieves @Fiensonix Load time fix?

  MBL666 (@mbl666uk) reported 28 minutes ago

  @Evilslither1 @VenomousGO @SeaOfThieves That’s how it currently works …. But apparently they are alliances exploiting that ‘winner stays on’ …If these alliances are in breach of existing rules ….. would having both ships migrating server fix it….. or just punish those with the ‘tools not rules’ elements of the game

  @_Rakton @SeaOfThieves @BoxyFresh_ Had the same problem was chasing some guys for 1 hour and half, felt like a waste of time so i scuttled the ship, thay need to make somthin be decisive after 30 min

  DoctorMarik (@DoctorMarik) reported 29 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves While these changes are good I don't think it's going to fix the core of the issue, which is some folks just don't want to waste their time with the new game mode. Don't get me wrong, I think the game mode is a good idea 100% and yeah it's fun...if you consecutively win. --

  @thepwnking101 @SeaOfThieves That’s like saying give a PVE away to earn Arena cosmetics (when Arena was out). There are commendations and cosmetics I won’t achieve because I don’t PVE enough, and there are ones you won’t achieve if you don’t PVP enough. Why is that such an issue for people to accept?

  Easton Abel (@EastonAbel2) reported 33 minutes ago

  @BuckoBuckner @SeaOfThieves From my understanding, YES, the mystery is completely over. Although, some people say that there is or was a way to glitch past the wall and look around in the rooms.

  @SeaOfThieves I have no issue with the matchmaking time. I have the issue of having 27 sinks and being in a battle with people who are already level 100

• 
  phantom (@phantom_sailer) reported 40 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves I’m sorry but if there’s anything you need to fix its players going up against players that do not match their skill level and fix the increased allegiance requirement for any levels past 100 You have a curse that unlocks at level 1,000 how are people supposed to get that now?

  Caleb Beyette (@CalebBeyette) reported 43 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves Let’s see if they actually fix it or if it’s another broken thing like captaincy was.

  ElUltimoCzarniano (@LoboCzarniano) reported 47 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves Fix black screen when respawning. I literally hear everything around me and still don't respawn

• 
  Captain Tater (@CapnTatermilk) reported 49 minutes ago

  @TheLameXGamer @SeaOfThieves @BoxyFresh_ Most people don't get paid to sit there and chat. As I said, it highlights a problem with PVP runners. Focus.

  Matchmaking times are killing me 😭 allow factions to fight each other and it will solve the problem #SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

• 
  ItsJustJoe (@ItsJustJoe42) reported 53 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves That’s cool. But this new gamemode is gonna be dead within weeks if y’all don’t do something about the issues. Having to resupply for 40 minutes just to fight and lose again sucks, also sbmm literally doesn’t work anymore since probably 90% of all players are already gone.

  12/9 I was banned on @SeaOfThieves for the reason "Background detection of account blocking,Redbeard". I can prove that this ban is totally wrong.I've played for 5 years,banned of a 5-minute login on a friend's computer. @SoT_Support

• 
  Davy Jones (@DeadMansSquid) reported 55 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves could you maybe also fix the issue of supplies while you guys are on it? Like while gathering supplies for a big fight is fine it feels like sinking, losing all of them, and therefore not being able to jump right back into matchmaking is really what's killing it for some people

  harping (@harping16) reported 56 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves hope U've seen BoxyFresh 5+ hours stream today-A rule that needs 2 change N UR new PVP fighting if one quits.1 boat doesn't fight-only runs even after 5+ hours-that's how they've been CHEATING-leveling up by not fighting so other crews quits&problem boat get credit for it-

  @SeaOfThieves As for matchmaking, I have no issue with queue times, I just keep getting paired with people way above my skill. Matchmaking sucks. And I feel this entire system is abit of a mess.
