  • ErikSteingraber FLx Warden (@ErikSteingraber) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Maybe you should quit playing the game if you got a problem with it dumbass

  • PirateTryant PirateTryant (@PirateTryant) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Sea of thieves I have a request and that is that the game has been getting so many glitch's can you fix that?

  • fishrebel183 Fishrebel183 (@fishrebel183) reported

    @FantomProwler @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves It's the amount of clients on their servers that's the issue, every update, the sheer volume of people playing can overrun them, they normally fix them within a day though

  • queenofwandss ༺Amanda༻ (@queenofwandss) reported

    It'd be super great if they'd patch the bugs in the new update considering I've uninstalled the game and still having issues. 🙃 @SeaOfThieves

  • GViRuS84 G-Virus (@GViRuS84) reported

    @Brian_Steinman @AmatoryNeros117 @SeaOfThieves Maybe don‘t talk about something you don‘t understand? They reduced ships per server from 6 to 5 because the servers could not handle the game anymore, some problem for new areas on the map. And that won‘t change, because the game has to run on the almost 8 year old xbox one.

  • VKWolf1 VKWolf (@VKWolf1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Any news on when your gonna fix the bug regarding talking to larina? The trail is bugged no matter what outpost you talk to her on the it just doesnt work

  • StarveDoHate John Pullinger (@StarveDoHate) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Looking forward to playing once the strawberrybeard error is resolved

  • gusamadhi gu samadhi (@gusamadhi) reported

    @1Chenzo @AmatoryNeros117 @SeaOfThieves If your problem is other people are getting rewards "for free" (which is a lie, since they were on to missions to get their loot), the loot is not really your reward. The pvp is. The feeling that you are a better opponent than the other player. That's exactly not my case.

  • VeriCherry99 Viri 😈 (@VeriCherry99) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can we get pay to fix ships! After being attacked so many times I’d pay anything to make my ship look brand new again lol

  • DevinKofsky Devin (@DevinKofsky) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Can’t login

  • thearcadebear TheArcadeBear (he/him) (@thearcadebear) reported

    I literally only have two emails I use for gaming. An old one I've had for 25+ years, and the one I use for streaming. So imagine trying to play @SeaOfThieves and trying to sign in with Xbox Live and neither one working to bring up your progress. Like the ID is just ... gone.

  • el_caspas ElCaspas (@el_caspas) reported

    @RasaLewis @SeaOfThieves @Rafie04774950 Same problem

  • MuchSeal MuchLongSeal (@MuchSeal) reported

    @seanNEmarsh @SeaOfThieves Not to cause **** but crossplay isn’t a issue you can easily buy a £25 MnK and use it on Xbox. What the real issue with PvP is, is the crap hit detection and the amount of no skill ground pvp takes. It needs a overhaul

  • entrancedlove 🌸 Sage (@entrancedlove) reported

    @SeaOfThieves cool.. to bad they can’t fix the hacking, hit reg, and other toxic player issues that shroud the game in darkness. but hey look on the bright side, we have more useless cosmetics to purchase.

  • 88_Anonymous_88 A̴̰̝̞̽̄͊͟ͅ (@88_Anonymous_88) reported

    @deaco_n @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Honestly. They had a issue with this the first season too. Idk why it’s hard to just not let it happen

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @WerliWolf @SeaOfThieves What's the problem with serverhopping? Because I get to do what I want faster? Because you're bad at defending someone who has equal resources?

  • queenofwandss ༺Amanda༻ (@queenofwandss) reported

    It'd be super great if they'd patch the bugs in the new update considering I've uninstalled the game and still having issues. 🙃 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • FuwwyTwash 😳 Wretched woman of the Bog 😳 (@FuwwyTwash) reported

    @AlnorTheRabid @AnakinWadley @SeaOfThieves Depends on what you're doing, but 50 planks right off the bat will service anybody. Coupled with scavenging islands too and you have yourself an infinite amount of ship repair. Also don't forget you start out with a few on top of this.

  • Humanity_Games Humanity Gaming (@Humanity_Games) reported

    @SeaOfThieves we found a glitch to turn 100% invisible! I can prove it too! COMPLETELY GAME BREAKING!! #SeaofThieves

  • Starflight_WoF Starflight (@Starflight_WoF) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Same thing here, I have the Strawberrybeard error even though my game is updated.

  • Snowwolfess Snow (@Snowwolfess) reported

    @SeaOfThieves just relogged as pirate was not loading, we just finished the legendary storyteller tale tale and it's not unlocked in the tale log.... 3 hours waste. Fix?

  • Si1entWolf26 狼 Wolf 狼 (@Si1entWolf26) reported

    @Prestom16 @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Yea, they need to invest in better servers for future content or its just gonna be stale and re-used content over and over again. They need to expand their game with stuff like a new Emi Company or a new area once they fix server lag and other issues.

  • crew_comic Skeleton Crew Comic (@crew_comic) reported

    Still getting Strawberrybeard errors. What’s going on, @SoT_Support / @SeaOfThieves ?

  • Justmy2cents11 Justmy2cents (@Justmy2cents11) reported

    @galacticdolan1 @SeaOfThieves I don't play unless I have at least 4 hours freed up so time is never an issue either. I actually stock far more supplies than I use every time I play. For me wood enters into surplus category in 5 minutes. It would've been better if I could sell my supplies rather than by them.

  • Undead_Pumpkin Strangest Thing (@Undead_Pumpkin) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Servers down ?

  • gusamadhi gu samadhi (@gusamadhi) reported

    @1Chenzo @AmatoryNeros117 @SeaOfThieves There's npc risks that could attack me. But that's how I like to play. You like to fight? Ok, so what's the problem you get to fight on your server, and I get no fighting on mine?

  • BeardVsGames Beard Vs Game (@BeardVsGames) reported

    @Natiredgals @SeaOfThieves I mean yea it's ****** people would do that, though I haven't heard of that being an issue from anyone that has completed it, But if 8 of you struggled against a couple people...i don't know what to say

  • DeadlyGamer2k Thameous Gaming (@DeadlyGamer2k) reported

    @schwartzy2995 @MrHawkTalk @SeaOfThieves All that buying supplies does is cut down time, and its not like you can buy 500 cannon *****, you only get 50, its not broken it just saves time, that is where I disagree with everyone's arguments, it doesn't "Give the person a heavy advantage" it just saves time

  • martinsmazik martinsmazik (@martinsmazik) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hello. So, recently i've been playing lots of SoT and i noticed that there's problem with harpoon on sloop. If you go really close to the harpoon that you can't go more foward, you can't use it. Its really annoying, specially when you have big stack of loot. Thanks.

  • G4RN3K GARN3K (@G4RN3K) reported

    Me and my friend can't open "reputation" tab in the pirate log. We also didn't receive the Hull of the Ashen Dragon for completing the Heart of Iron (i did it even twice). Does that mean some problems with servers? @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves
