  • AaronPoisson Aaron Poisson (@AaronPoisson) reported

    @Lukebot19 @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I literally select from partnered streamer list on website everytime. Why would my account only sometimes not be linked — but other times be linked? I’m using the network connection, devices and Xbox console everytime. Some of my friend’s on Xbox have also experienced this issue.

  • Ames10k Amy Trafalis (@Ames10k) reported

    @SCV_781 @SeaOfThieves Okay? And how is server hopping the problem? Loads of PVE players do it too for the world events they need

  • VrcLeon Leonardo Winter (@VrcLeon) reported

    Pressing the windows key and g key don't bring up my windows gamer bar. I can't join folks on @SeaOfThieves. Someone, gimme fix while I slumber, thx.

  • thekeyra The Keyra (@thekeyra) reported

    @SeaOfThieves So i am watching streams since the morning and still didnt got it. And yes i am watching Streamer from the list and my account is linkt too. I checkt it. So i am asking my self and you gys, is there a problem with getting by "hending" the Drops out?

  • Meap27_ cutie patootie (@Meap27_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves There was a glitch (either from a ship logging off or just in general) where just a ton of loot was floating in the air. Easily filled the mid stair point on our sloop. Real fun.

  • SkolDuggary Skol Duggary (@SkolDuggary) reported

    Would it be too much trouble t' ask fer a wee help from the #SeaOfThieves community? I be trying t' locate a clip that was uploaded t' Twitter here some weeks back; video o' a pirate trying t' check above the fog line usin' a cannon only t' wind up on the deck o' another ship!

  • Lukebot19 Lukebot19 (@Lukebot19) reported

    @AaronPoisson @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves 9 times out of 10 the issue is that you account isn’t linked or you haven’t been watching a partnered SoT streamer, I’ve never seen someone watch with everything set up correctly without it working.

  • PurpleBotcandy Purple_spaghetti (@PurpleBotcandy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey every time i go to start sea of thieves it says "The sea of thieves servers are temporarily unavailable please try again (Lavenderbeard)" and i have looked up videos nothing is working do you know how to fix and yes i have deleted the game and redownloaded

  • NIMO066081 Walsh Staples (@NIMO066081) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fah the Series S that iz. Lemme be clear about that. On the S, i'm unable to dive deep underwater cause of a bug issue. Fix asap!!!!

  • ssaayywwhhaatt he's heating up (@ssaayywwhhaatt) reported

    @SlooperSolo @Pixleator @SeaOfThieves I recently started playing about a month ago and was getting sunk every time I got online and was getting pretty mad. I actually posted to their Twitter exactly what you say but have deleted it since. I check for ships more often and have improved at PvP. The game is not broken.

  • Noobface Gnoob (@Noobface) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Just remember that I am one of the only people who agrees with you on your proposal for PVE servers. The way you go about it is the issue though. Nobody is gonna take you seriously.

  • Peach60154514 Peach (shieldspup) (@Peach60154514) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Tbh I think that I have had more problems with other players than I have had problems with reapers.

  • TealBlueee єѵєℓүŋ (@TealBlueee) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The servers are lagging right now. 😐

  • milanligneel Milan (@milanligneel) reported

    Since @SeaOfThieves is on @Steam it's full of toxic hackers. No fun at playing this game in the nature way anymore. @RareLtd fix this.

  • StueyMoore Stu Moore (@StueyMoore) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Talk to Larinna is broken

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @ssaayywwhhaatt @Pixleator @SeaOfThieves You've got me confused with someone else. Server hopping is clearly a problem but it's streamer focus that is ruining the game. And nonsense you asserted I haven't played which has nothing to do with your experiences. The timelines are accurate. The imbalance is massive.

  • ssaayywwhhaatt he's heating up (@ssaayywwhhaatt) reported

    @SlooperSolo @Pixleator @SeaOfThieves I see you don’t wanna reply to this thread that’s actually about the game and instead just complain after I apologized again. I know you are experienced and I am saying I am less and not having issues. That’s why I don’t understand you have so many problems. Does that make sense?

  • The_Kpierce Kegan ⚔️🐗🏒 (@The_Kpierce) reported

    @lozera5 @SeaOfThieves No problem when it comes to that

  • Banburybull David Strachan (@Banburybull) reported

    Wow! @amazon Gaming "We cannot raise a support case for this". Your website is not updating from a linked account on @SeaOfThieves so you won't touch it until they say the issue isn't their problem. How about getting a 2nd or 3rd line technician check the API or DB

  • HardchipsJr Jake (@HardchipsJr) reported

    @YMetaut @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Not the problem he was pointing out. PvP-only players can risk nothing, and even if they lose the fight, can continue to come back to the same ship over and over again until they inevitability win. It is actually unbalanced even though it’s a PvP game.

  • flavius_pt flavius (@flavius_pt) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please fix the game, I had a lot of loot and server got disconnected. I attemped to rejoin many temps but allways went back error !! its so unfair.

  • HarryConnelly0 Harry (@HarryConnelly0) reported

    @DawsonStephenso @SeaOfThieves Last gen problems

  • molly_meta Molly Meta (@molly_meta) reported

    @TheDaveCalaz @ErikSievert7095 @SeaOfThieves No problem. In the arena is no PvEler. You don't have to argue with someone about killing other players there.

  • JTrudel4 Joe Trudel (@JTrudel4) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Pay the shipwright to fix all the holes on your boat. After a big battle it would be nice to properly patch tier 3 holes

  • Azerkeux Baron von Rammerstien (@Azerkeux) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Didn't season 2 just start and you are asking this already? Having problems with player retention and sending out emails asking people how quickly they progress through the content? Funny.. PotCOnline did the same thing for the last couple months of its death throws

  • GunnarRhoads enclave6063 (@GunnarRhoads) reported

    @accountingtons @Ericww34 @SeaOfThieves Yes but there not adding anything other than micro transactions and cosmetics that’s the problem

  • Edozzzzzzzz Edo (@Edozzzzzzzz) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @TobyStephensInV Are the servers down or is it just me because im actually going insane, please help me

  • James63459806 James (@James63459806) reported

    @smarioplayer200 @Leator @SeaOfThieves Seeing as nobody is really toxic on Xbox sea of thieves 🤷🏽 don’t see the problem in that. Not everyone wants a fight

  • ACampingPanda ACampingPanda (@ACampingPanda) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This is an anger tweet. CAN WE PLEASE FIX THE BUG WHERE AFTER A SERVER MERGE YOU CANT INTERACT WITH ANYTHING. LOST ALL MY FOF LOOT BECAUSE I HAD TO KILL MYSELF AND THEN A GALLY ROLLED UP AND SANK ME. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

  • lace_elise Lace Elise Lee🖤🔮 (@lace_elise) reported

    When you have two galleons team up to hunt down a grade 5 reaper sloop and it takes a full 2 minutes to load back in when they kill you even when you have a ******* series x. Fix your game @SeaOfThieves.
