    The @SeaOfThieves doubloon fix is a mess. Players not reset were stuck at the 4k cap, unable to farm. Now you’re removing their items? At the next event, they’ll have to grind double: for the old items AND the new ones. Stop punishing us for your bugs! #SeaOfThieves

    @SeaOfThieves your game is now trash and plagued by swarms of cheaters. I get you just ban them cause cheaters are happy to buy multiple copies of the game so its a + for your revenue, but how about just fixing the issue instead of being money hungry pigs that cover up pdf for a laugh,.

    @JayBlu45 @VoicemasterTV @SeaOfThieves Yeah because a Gally chasing a sloop around the sea for 45 minutes is soooooo fun. 4-6 vs 1 is not a skill issue, and get better or get lost is so childish it’s almost maddening!

    @crudmasterTV @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob Do you mean like a counter? 🤔 Honestly, I had no problem knowing how many ships were left because the arena shrank very quickly, so you could always see how many ships were in the area. The new arena isn't that big.

    @SeaOfThieves •“After besting their rivals to become the Last Ship Standing, winners are now given additional time to collect their spoils and head to the final portal.” Nope this is not working still, I didn’t get time to turn the ship to harpoon the flag before I got transported back!

    @SeaOfThieves I would go back to playing this game on Steam, But I have to sign in to my Xbox Account to play it and I can't be bothered. That though my Gmail Account. So I might as well get this game for my Xbox Console (Series X) with a different account.

    @BocaG @Christi19879853 @SeaOfThieves It would literally hurt no one to make safer seas the full experience or just having private severs. They say its PvP game but the PvP aspect is whats the problem. Outside of janky hit boxes, there's no natural progress in skill when it comes to PVP. Thr gap is huge.

    @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves No, you are right. None of us should be asking partners to stand down. I am allowed to choose whose content I want to support as a result. The problem is that these things have been going on for years at this point. It could have been prevented if Rare stepped in and stopped CM a long time ago. Rare is 100% accountable for who they have representing their game. CM are representatives. I ain't gonna force anyone to step down or take a stand, but if it appears that someone is trying to leverage a charity stream to boost their numbers and appear as a good person, for a charity that doesn't actively help OUR victims, I'm unfollowing them. If they are the least bit fake, I'm unfollowing. That's my choice and no ones gonna miss me around...so the decision is most likely mutual anyways. I absolutely do want to see a bigger push though and nothing is going to change without it. Hell, some streamers haven't mentioned it but they have been streaming other games lately...silently protesting already despite making a statement. Kudos to them.

    @CaptMcGuffin @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves And its not really "individual". There is going to be a lot of people in the same boat who's bought everything because of this. It is a community problem with a larger effect on this content down the line that people probably dont realise currently

  • Captain_Falcore

    Custom Seas is going to be a lot of fun. It feels like it's been designed more with content creators in mind than the average player but I think most people will still get a good laugh out of it and create some memorable moments. The problem is that fun side content and seasonal content are not really the same thing. If this is supposed to help carry an entire Season alongside the occasional returning limited time event then it just is not enough by itself. Season 21 needs to land with some real weight behind it. Adventure Mode needs meaningful additions. New ships, new islands or even entirely new regions. Give players fresh reasons to explore the world and engage with the game in different ways. What we do not need is another couple of delivery missions wearing a fancy new outfit and pretending to be a major update. We have been sailing that particular route for quite a while now. #SeaOfThieves is at its best when it surprises people and gets the community genuinely excited to jump in and see what is new. It feels like it is time for that again. Anything less will mean terrible engagement.

    @NessieDoes @SeaOfThieves @j0toro Since someone in a Bruno Files video is asking me to send proof of them knowing “everything”, I will clarify with this: When I said “they knew everything for a long time” I was alluding to the pig incident when I said that, which they did know about and deflected by turning their eyes away from it. The linked image below is a direct reference of proof for that. And by “they”, or “Employees” I mean Shirah and J0toro who are employed Community Managers working for Sea Of Thieves who were doing nothing about this issue, yet still endorsed and promoted Bruno

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Your problem wasn't the game. Your problem is you try to appeal to the whiniest of the player base who felt entitled to gold they hadn't stolen fairly. Now, ffs, I'll forgive it all if you spawn a Shrouded for me. 8k hours guys, like damn, I'm dying here.

    @AboutSelphy @SeaOfThieves because loss farming is a strat. As long as there are points awarded for losing, this is going to be an issue. To be clear, i think it IS an issue, loss farming. But your openly flexing on using an exploit to deprive people of something the devs think they deserve. Just stop.
