  @SeaOfThieves At this point in the life cycle I’m not even sure how to improve the game. It seems as though it’s been going in a circle while still issues from day 1 run rampant. Always loved the game but since 21 it’s just been downhill, it’s genuinely sad to see.

  @SeaOfThieves fix the hourglass exploit already people casually getting 100,200+ streaks in a short time and getting gold curses in less than a day. Pointless making a game mode dedicated to grinding if you stay quiet about people exploiting the system to make the grind non existent.

  Is it just me, or is everyone experiencing terrible frame drops in #SeaOfThieves lately? I have a pretty decent PC setup, but my frames are dying whenever I’m fighting a Burning Blade or completing Ashen Garrisons. The lag when opening barrels and crates seems to be back as well. Looking back at old game clips, it used to run smooth as butter. Will it ever feel that way again? @SoT_Support

  @SeaOfThieves So broken as usual sea of failures. Completed one did all the deeds and zero rep and also got o compensation for the loot or for turning the item to reapers, also while sailing was attacked by an invisible Meg after my rowboat from the garrison decided to disappear on stream

  @Donuttboy @SeaOfThieves Bud almost no one shares your opinion infact most of the community is the opposite thinking that seasons stretch for too long i think what you have a problem with a time limited content season passes last 3 months at least sometimes more if you cant do it in that time tough love

  @SergioJasonPina @SeaOfThieves By far the most casual pvp experience you will find online. With two working brain cells you can be better than 95% of the SOT population. Other players aren’t the problem

  The sea has a way of turning simple plans into long nights. It started plain enough. Just the two of us on a sloop, sails trimmed and pockets empty, heading out with the simple thought of running a few garrisons and seeing what fortune the night might offer. The water was calm, the sort of calm that usually means trouble is waiting somewhere ahead. The first garrison came into view through the haze of the horizon, but we weren’t the first to arrive. A galleon sat there already four pirates busy with the fort. I shot over from the sloop, landing quiet at the top to scout things out. Word was these forts sometimes hid a smuggler’s black powder keg. A nasty piece of work if used right. I searched around the island but couldn’t find it… until I looked up. There it was. Those poor fools had hauled the keg all the way up into their crow’s nest like a trophy. Probably thought it was safe there. I started taking shots from the island, trying to knock it loose, but the angle was wrong. Cannon ***** smacked wood and rope, but the keg wouldn’t go. My crewmate decided to do things the hard way. He fired himself out of the cannon toward their ship. Halfway through the air still sailing through the sky like a ragged comet he shot the harpoon. Somehow he caught the keg straight from the crow’s nest and dragged it down with him as he slammed onto their deck. A second later the whole galleon erupted. The blast threw splinters and pirates alike across the deck. By the time the smoke cleared he’d cut down all four of them in the chaos. Their ship sank fast, slipping beneath the water like it had never belonged there. We finished the fort without much trouble after that. Rather than move on, we sailed a short distance off to let the garrison reset so we could run it again. While we waited, sails appeared on the horizon. Same galleon. They came back hungry. We tried the keg trick again, but this time fate wasn’t interested. The powder slipped into the water and vanished before it could do any good. After that it turned into a long, stubborn fight. For nearly an hour we traded blows. Sometimes we had them dead in the water masts down, deck full of holes. Then somehow they’d recover, patch up, and swing the fight back the other way. Cannon fire cracked across the waves. Boards, repairs, missed shots, lucky shots. Over and over. Neither side would leave. Eventually I went for a board while they were busy trading cannon fire with my crewmate. I climbed their ladder unnoticed and dropped onto the deck. Steel did the rest. Four pirates fell in quick succession to the sword. By the time they realized what had happened, my crewmate had them locked in a death circle with the cannons tearing their ship apart. After that I only saw one of them return from the Ferry of the Damned. The rest never came back. I reckon they’d had enough of the night. The galleon sank for the second time. We sailed back to the garrison hoping to finish what we started… only to find the whole place glitched to the depths. No completion. No treasure. Our first stack lost to whatever strange curse the sea had placed on the fort. So we did what pirates do when fortune turns strange. We sailed for Morrow’s Peak Outpost and sold the Reaper flags we’d taken from the galleon. A small victory, but better than empty hands. While we were there, we spotted a brigantine messing around at the northern garrison. Curiosity got the better of us. We sailed over to see what they were about. The moment they realized we were coming, panic set in. They cut and ran, diving beneath the waves to escape after a short skirmish. But in their hurry they left something behind. A pile of treasure bigger than anything we’d earned all night, a MEGA stash! We hauled it aboard piece by piece under the dim lantern light, the sea quiet again at last. Not a bad way to end a long fight. #BeMorePirate #SeaOfThieves

  @SeaOfThieves As expected. Maybe listen to insiders next time, instead of insisting that 2 weeks are enough time to test and fix this mess.

  @SeaOfThieves I actually think the sword pricing is fair for people who play every day and have completed every season. The rest actually seems cheap. The only issue is people with 50k will have the ferrymen set so won't be using the sword anyway

  @SeaOfThieves can you fix your bugs and glitches instead of dropping more and more cosmetics to make money players dont give a **** about skins if the games broken kraken suck animation is broken to point to where you get glitched out and cant move to repair ship you know how aggrevating that is when you spent 4 hours at gathering loot for achievements fix your ****

  SpinalCrush 🚷 (@SpinalCrush) reported 31 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves The problem isn't necessarily the 50k sword, it's how cheap the other bits are, most people I suspect will buy everything but the sword, so there's no "Flex" to any other items apart from the sword, make them 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50k each then EVERYTHING is decent.

  Jim Binky (@Jimbinky) reported 32 minutes ago

  @Common_Potatos @SeaOfThieves That's why they started it early this time. It's gonna take longer cuz there's less interest. Should honestly just lower the requirements, but I guess this is one way to fix it.

  @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves I used to play City of Heroes. They introduced player created content. It was fun for about 3 months. And it will be fun to see what, you and other streamers come up with in these servers. The issues will start when the rest of us want into the private server(s) to play in your world. Servers limit ships to 6, is this the same for Private (rhetorical)? I like the idea, but fear that they (the devs) are currently throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

  @SeaOfThieves acknowledge the even worse hourglass exploit where people can get 100’s of streaks in a short time allowing anyone to cheese the 1k curses in a single day it’s so broken!!!

  @Game7DS @SeaOfThieves The video compression turns to absolute ****, and makes it look a LOT like AI generated video. But if this happened, it's more then likely a new loot teleport glitch, and you likely had a cheater in recently played under the report menu.

  @DrD1sconnect @SeaOfThieves I play solo about 75% of the time. I see no issues? Except maybe level 5 reapers diving into the server. But I just check map, sell, then attack!

  I believe in live and let live and for each to do their own thing. With that said if your "thing" is to be crude while farting and belching in your mic while trolling and griefing you're bound to strike the wrong nerve with someone loco enough to cause you issues. #seaofthieves
