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

    @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

    @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?

    @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 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

    @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.

    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.

    @SeaOfThieves Commercial Officer, Captain Douglas Sluggins of the Dorothy-Louise in Service of Her Royal Majesty Katherine the Excellent's Navy. I suppose Louise appears in the middle of my full title.

    @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

    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

    @keeyaaaa I stream occasionally, when I am not working full time at my job. I was wondering if I could ask you some @SeaOfThieves questions. I struggle with anxiety and depression, just trying to connect with other gamers.

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

  • 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.

    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
