    @SeaOfThieves Please fix lavender beard I haven’t been able to play since 2021

    @SeaOfThieves everything cooked on the new broken sea forts

  • Lorenz_Sinclair Lorenz Sinclair (@Lorenz_Sinclair) reported

    @V_E_L_D @SeaOfThieves i can't really make ships, but if you want the world download i could probably fix that

  • stordyr Stordyr Gaming (@stordyr) reported

    @Zewx_twitch @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I think, you're incorrect. The biggest slap in the face of the players is not fixing arena but shutting it down under the pretext that only 2% of time was spent there. Yeah.. because it was ******* broken. I'm mad about this entire lvl 50 gatekeeping in the first place.

  • CrewMisfortune Crew of Misfortune (@CrewMisfortune) reported

    With world events having issues, are the seas still spicy? I don't wanna hop for spice if I'm not gonna find any. (Haven't played since the update, so I have no idea how active servers have been) #SeaOfThieves

  • DavrimTV Davrim (@DavrimTV) reported

    I get it hit reg is an issue in @SeaOfThieves & it hurts most when you feel it causes you to lose (low percent: you could have done something different) IMO it is the worst when it is good crew v good crew and hit reg is the only thing which separates them & 100% impacts outcome

  • Soulreacker281 Ahegao god (@Soulreacker281) reported

    @CFrance1273 @SeaOfThieves Nah I think they are prohibited around the new forts so they don't crash into them but I already did a fleet early er today

  • r44wwrr RAWR (@r44wwrr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Krakens fall Sunken grove Reappers hideout (I'll crash there again, maybe for the 7th time)

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix ur ******* **** servers u dogshit ******* company ty

  • sprinnty Sprinty Jonn (@sprinnty) reported

    This arena removal/cosmetics issue is just plain messy. @RareLtd didn’t want to put in the extra work to keep it going, and now have polarized and damaged the @SeaOfThieves community as a result. Poorly handled and a bad look overall.

  • rockinpodunk RockinPodunk (@rockinpodunk) reported

    Dear @SeaOfThieves I’m in love with the new sea forts, particularly the sound design, but there is a problem. When you shoot the large bell atop the fortress it makes the same puny “ding” as it’s much smaller cousins. Please tell me that was unintentional.

  • Southwardfaun Southwardfaun (@Southwardfaun) reported

    @Taytmw @xmummaof3x @SeaOfThieves You have a problem

  • mileychrist (@mileychrist) reported

  • Betchorsomethin Betch (@Betchorsomethin) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I just sunk doing a ghost fleet because there was glitched invisible fire that I couldn’t put out on the bottom stairs of the sloop so I had to balance not getting hit, steering, not dying from the fire, bucketing, and repairing Please fix that

  • MrJames_Bondage Tim Stolowski (@MrJames_Bondage) reported

    @SeaOfThieves are the servers down? lavenderbeard?

  • Brendan05233787 Brendan Campbell (@Brendan05233787) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Once again I'm set to play with Xbox players, and I get put in servers with PC players who have a huge advantage. I shouldn't have to play on M&k to have a fair chance. Fix your cross play.

  • fallout42069ea Fallout42069e (@fallout42069ea) reported

  • Joey71332090 Joey (@Joey71332090) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your game. Skeleton ships don’t exist and there are no fleet world events.

  • miguelf_faria LT Loot (@miguelf_faria) reported

    @Hitbotc @MerrowMan1 @SeaOfThieves that´s the problem, this game could be so much more if they invested in people like us, there would be more people playing this, MMO people, even so FPS players, more eyes in the game, more money for RARE more big streamers playing this game. But yeah that´s just my opinion

  • sockyaky Sockyaky (@sockyaky) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Ever gonna fix perma black screens? Most infuriating thing when you lose your ship simply because you can’t respawn

  • MEGASHAUNtheDON Shaun Boehringer (@MEGASHAUNtheDON) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @MicrosoftStore Order: 4069282802. I’m seeking help for an order that never shipped. Tried phone help and you know that service was not actually built to reconcile issues. $700 has been stolen from me by your company for a shipping label and no product. No one is helping me!!! SCAM???!

  • hovdog Jeh (@hovdog) reported

    @Applenetwork6 @JacobDByrd @SeaOfThieves Sounds like a *you* problem

  • Brandino1103 Brandino The Bitchless. (@Brandino1103) reported

    @UmbraInfinite @yesmynameissumo @SeaOfThieves Yeah I was hella dedicated to it from beta to like year 2 back when it was that legit grind. And I burnt myself out. With the right crew I have no problem playing cause how awesome it has become. I still dabble here and there solo just to see what's going on.

  • MooreCharacter Moore Character (@MooreCharacter) reported
