-
KingHotdogPig (@KingHotdogPig) reported@Musks_a_cunt @SeaOfThieves To protect players they should start by firing j0 and Shirah and updating their policies to better protect players. But that has nothing to do with the rest of the dev teams. The people building the game don’t control staffing or policy decisions. Expecting those people to stop working because of failures in another department isn’t right, and blaming them for issues they have no authority over makes all of us who have been talking about this look stupid. j0 has been actively deleting evidence during an ongoing investigation (which is illegal). And Shirah has been deleting peoples messages in the discord who speak up about this. That is who the community should be against.

Nast (@NastPlays) reported@xxMUSHI @5623CieraRaciel @SeaOfThieves ******** you mean "story"? Also the two game modes you talk about, one is PVP, and the other doesn't allow more than one ship on a server at a time, which again, was the crux of my issue. Also, literally none of that actually addressed anything I said.

Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reportedThe bug where you "Can't Grab" crates seems to exist in the Weekender Doubloon Run Voyage. If you can't grab the cargo.. Buying a captaincy item OR merchant supply crate SOMETIMES fixes the issue.. Not guaranteed every time unfortunately... The issue seems CONSISTENT at Crescent Isle specifically. Not sure if Plunder has issues or not and maybe got lucky. Hope the intel helps others! @Seaofthieves #SeaofThieves

Follow on Bluesky (@BowtieShyGuy) reported@MissusPeanut @SeaOfThieves It's fine to leave a hobby you no longer enjoy. It's also fine to enjoy it after having a break. If complaining about your hobby replaces your actual hobby, you have a problem. Finding a better hobby is the mature thing to do.

Follow on Bluesky (@BowtieShyGuy) reported@aDreamingNomad @SuperRegGuy @SeaOfThieves ...so long that I used PayPal refund service as the eligibility was running out (and you could literally no longer contact the store).

ScuffedDuff (@ScuffedDuff) reported@CaptainGG_R @SeaOfThieves Like this clip also has a visual glitch, so a promising start!

꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reportedLast ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 30+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

Professor Trunkerz (@SeaOfTrunkerz) reportedMy last LSS match had 2 airborne boats & one that never surfaced. Emerging from under water looks cool, but seems to cause more issues in this game mode. @SeaOfThieves #SeaOfThieves

Potato (@Common_Potatos) reported@SeaOfThieves @XBOX Can you guys fix your connection issues in last ship standing.
-
Bumblebee Tuna Studio (@BumbleStudio) reported@Bellingham_5x @SeaOfThieves I turned my crossplay settings on and it seems to fix it for me
-
Sergio Jason Pina (@SergioJasonPina) reported@EvilMorpheus @SeaOfThieves Just tried again multiple times on PS5 only servers. Same issue. I times out with cinnamonbeard. I close the game and try again with no success. I open to crossplay, and I connect within minutes. Very frustrating.
-
Mert (@noravus) reportedIs the matchmaking for Last ship standing broken ? I cant find anything for past 30 minutes. multiple sessions stuck in waiting for other crews @SeaOfThieves

Defiant (@Defiantisdev) reported@SuperRegGuy @SeaOfThieves What glitch
-
Copper🔜 SoTFest 2026 Panelist (@Coppertailwolf) reported@coldsot_ @SeaOfThieves I had this bug in insiders- because it was testing I didn’t leave and saw it thro and had people pissed but I was like “literally following through on the testing- the entire purpose of right now” That being said I got the same bug yesterday and scuttled cause I don’t want to win like that XD it’s a very broken bug - you’re untouchable too outside the ring closing in. I imagine a lot of people will do the same in that situation, but unfortunately a lot won’t.

Lukitch (@Lukitch59) reported@aDreamingNomad @SeaOfThieves Even if you encounter it on retail server sometime u won t unlock the commendation, we already see some case while a cheater came and answer from support is … we can t unlock the commendation… so I don t see any issue to have it on custom server…
-
Amy (@molnaramy00) reported@Whitney_2nd @SeaOfThieves Yes they were? People who earn 10 wins AFTER this change will get them, while people who already earned 10 wins the hard way(no custom seas)will have to get 4 more. If you don't see whats the problem here I can't help you I'm afraid.

pxl (@Ge_oag) reported@SeaOfThieves Fixed the problem where Galeones could hourglass que against solo sloops?
-
WickedDeath (@DeadCarnival) reported@MWSlayerX @SeaOfThieves This is the guy they want to make community managers out of. The yes men cucks. The ones that refuse to see the problems.

DBRichard (@DBRichardNL) reported@SeaOfThieves @XBOX For ages I've tried to get a replacement or fix for my gold plated version of that gold hoarder tablet. I never got a reply from the responsible party.

Bogi9805 (@Bogi9805sot) reported@LordofCh8os @SeaOfThieves Me and my friends had the same problem
-
Dr.Nemesis (@Dr_Nemesis_) reported@SeaOfThieves Customs seas would be great if the server didn't crash every five seconds
-
RevBombRR Official (@RevBombRR) reported@SeaOfThieves The fact that the game is this old and you guys still can't figure out how to release an update says something about the dev team. If I was this bad at my job, I definitely wouldn't have 19 seasons to fix it
-
DUBB3D (@__DUBB3D__) reported@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

teddy (@fishttank) reported@SeaOfThieves will this fix the server lag?
-
BLU3SY (@BLU3SY_) reported@HitboTC @SeaOfThieves This is so bad. Almost as bad as when I was attacked for giving feedback in Alpha when the rainbow flag was put in the game. I thought it would cause issues for a game I loved, and it has. (That was a private forum) Yet it was shared all over Twitter and I was attacked brutally.

Victor Escamilla (@CallMeViCtoR) reported@Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves you work on the 3rd floor of a 10 floor company building, the problem was on the 3 ofices that are in the corner of the 5th floor, all the building needs to stop working cus of those 3 ofices making the problem?

Xo The Sea Fox (@Xoxbit_YT) reported@Valor_Omega_SoT @SeaOfThieves It is simply not acceptable that it happened .. and with past issues its clear, the system has to change
