    @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves worst part is you are getting hated by the community as soon as you mention issues about what rare is doing, you have no right to be a more competent person at spotting evident gameplay design problems than them. now we are stuck with rare listening to the wrong people

    @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves The issue I think rare has is they have too many conflicting points of interest in their own structure. I belong(ed) to the hardcore veteran players who felt being consistently overheard by the dev team to cater toward the casual gamepass players. That has ruined the game for me.

    @XboxSupport @SeaOfThieves I can't contact your support on the site as it keeps on asking me to log in (i am logged in) i cannot access any other way to report an issue i've encountered. hi?

    @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.

    @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

    @SeaOfThieves can you fix the bug on Skeleton Forts whete the lord glitches into the floor and when they're defeated to vault door key doesn't spawn. Your game has to many bugs and glitches, it makes it so unenjoyable.

    @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

  • ThrowAcc25
    George Floyd's Inhaler (@ThrowAcc25) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No. Fix the bugs and glitches.

    @SeaOfThieves I think its alright if insiders can find out bugs and report them, but if the developers fix the bugs? idk, the game is stable for now compared to other online games, it took them years to fix the underwater bug :/

    @BananaStove @SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves The problem is that making the sword more available WASNT what we wanted. I wanted MORE than FIVE items to commemorate our time. I just didn't want the rewards to stop at 4k doubloons. Am I too greedy asking for, like, doubloon boots? Gimme some Doubloots for 10k or sumn, idk.

    @SeaOfThieves ,we are asking you about the Middle East servers because we suffer from high ping and every time we play the game the ping is 150+ and above. (So we hope the problem will be solved). Message from Arabic community players Discord link:

    @SeaOfThieves I understand that you want to go for the grinding mechanic but the problem lies in there's nothing to grind if there's no alternate way of earning a suitable amount of doubloons after completing the deeds of the weekender, there has to be another way to earn doubloons.

    @leoleon2leau @SeaOfThieves No, you have absolutely ZERO idea what you're talking about. Unreal 5 is worse than what we have. What you're effectively saying is that a unicycle does better than a broken bike.

    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

    @Joe651750613863 @SeaOfThieves It's not even something is the issue. They're so unwilling to come up with new content that they just put already existing emporium cosmetics as drops. It's so lazy that I'd honestly rather no drops at all 😭 gold, renown, and the voyage of "luck" are useless fillers as well

  • MagmaBoots
    MagmaBoots (@MagmaBoots) reported

    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

  • ShamanMcLamie
    ShamanMcLamie (@ShamanMcLamie) reported

    @SeaOfThieves My biggest problem with stuff like this is that it is after the fact. I get if something is limited time to get, but if there is no heads up that there would be any reward. People who would grind these things out wouldn't do it.

    Throughout the years of Sea of Thieves, there has been so many attempts of exceptionally large creators that want to check it out with friends, just to be met by cheaters, or the most annoying behavior till they are forced to get off. This kind of **** has been going on for well over 3-4 years, as someone whose been hit personally by auto hopper, spamming of 100's of invites, targeted server ddos, dozens of times at this point. You learn to deal with it. Nothing you can do. Its annoying, and if someones determined, they will get you eventually. Now I'm no professional in advertising, but I feel like I got a good idea of how it works. When big or small creators, paid or not, are putting forth an opportunity to really set in motion some fresh eyes for your game, its best to start plugging some of these vulnerabilities so they can continue to play, or at least feel the need to. That's good business. So I mean with all sincerity, but what ******** is going on at HQ in which **** like this continues to happen? ITS BEEN YEARS OF THIS SAME BULLSHIT. You can have your own personal look on TheBurntPeanut, but when one of the biggest advertisers/creators, averaging 80-100k live viewers across 2 platforms, is constantly getting hit. What do you think that shows viewers, interested, in maybe checking out Sea of Thieves for the first time. First impressions are everything, and this **** ain't looking too good. #SeaOfThieves
