  • Chaorie2 Chaorie (TeamFlameheart) (@Chaorie2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves As I think were gonna be able to have a few: Galli: Broken Ghost Sloop: Broken Blade

  • Awmuth Awmuth (@Awmuth) reported

    I love, in concept, the ability to name and customize the ships in #SeaOfThieves , but until they fix the FOMO, I'm not going to reinstall it. Just too much pressure to play constantly instead of seeking out what I want.

  • goofnutboyjr goofnutboy (@goofnutboyjr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves im still getting the Lavenderbeard error. why is that?

  • JamminGiant117 JamminGiant117 (@JamminGiant117) reported

    @mariastorma @Salavixs @SeaOfThieves If you hate the game so much, then don’t play it. No one wants to hear you complain about things that devs are well aware of. If Rare decides not to fix it then, while it would be a poor decision, it would still be theirs to make. It’s their game after all.

  • Arzurus you’re not my supervisor (@Arzurus) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Has there been any work done on removing the portal server hoping glitch? It is really is really frustrating having a level 5 reaper spawn in right on top of you.

  • JamminGiant117 JamminGiant117 (@JamminGiant117) reported

    @Salavixs @mariastorma @SeaOfThieves Finally someone says it! I’ve been scrolling through the comments and most are just “Fix Hitreg” or “Add PVE” flamewars. Even if you specifically didn’t care about Captaincy, be happy for the people who spent the last few years hoping and waiting for this update to come.

  • CaptCabbagepoet Captain Cabbagepoet (@CaptCabbagepoet) reported

    I have a #SeaOfThieves problem. I can't resist the desire to change my pirate ever like 4 months... Yet I always look similar once I select a new one...

  • creepycrutch creepy McRib crutchfield (@creepycrutch) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I’m not burnt out per say but I have been playing less and less do to server issues and bugs that make the game not as fun

  • aldmerislayer Andy N7 K (@aldmerislayer) reported

    @KillaRh1no @SeaOfThieves WEGONNACRASH that should be its name cos with your parking ;- we gonna crash

  • 7eventy7_ 7eventy7 (@7eventy7_) reported

    @SamuelCFord1017 @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I'd give up all future updates if they would fix the game.

  • Marlon_TheVoid The Voîd (@Marlon_TheVoid) reported

    @TheReturnOfZ @XboxGamePass @SeaOfThieves You, not understanding what is overall wrong with your situation shows enough. No use to talk about it it's the same buffoon answer. Try to find the errors I'm sick of people like you always the same. Twitter is flooded with them.

  • Noobface Gnoob (@Noobface) reported

    @OhhSass @SeaOfThieves You’re a Reaper 5 selling a bunch of loot at the hideout and you don’t notice the biggest ship in the game pulling up on you. That’s your problem lmao. We were selling your loot while killing you.

  • Draco03275699 Draco (@Draco03275699) reported

    @7eventy7_ @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Because they certainly are. I *personally* don't run into any game breaking bugs regularly, so quite honestly I don't see the merit in the phrase "fix Sea of Thieves". The game, for the most part, works as intended. Yes, occasionally bugs will occur but that us the price 3/?

  • ZombieJesus198 Ian Henry (@ZombieJesus198) reported

    @1Chenzo @ThisIsMySwamp__ @SeaOfThieves There's attacking other players, and then there is going out of your way in making other players not have a good time. That's the issue this game has. Nothing kills the fun faster than griefers.

  • SlippyPerigee Slipspace Perigee (@SlippyPerigee) reported

    @CGallerine @EeniThesian66 @SeaOfThieves If they filled those servers with AI pirates that are as accurate as Skeleton Galleons but don't bhop around, I'd be fine with that. I think the main problem is the sweats. Fights can be fun, but when you're going against people who try their *** off, it gets tedious.

  • ParamedicDave87 Dave (@ParamedicDave87) reported

    @HealPlsHeal @SeaOfThieves I had an extreme black screen issue the other day, at literally 15mins of sitting watched the little green wheel spin, I left and rejoined and still had 3 mins before I got on the ship…

  • JamminGiant117 JamminGiant117 (@JamminGiant117) reported

    @PlaysDyl @SeaOfThieves That would actually be pretty cool. The only problem is that the ship despawns when you sink it so that it can respawn in a new location. If it were to stay sunk and respawn then it would likely take up more server space. I like the idea though and would love if they made it work

  • thekamera Kamera (@thekamera) reported

    Where's the petition to sign in order for the @SeaOfThieves S7 trailer song to be an actual shanty in-game?

  • hunter45302354 hunter (@hunter45302354) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves How about you fix your game instead of adding more to it.

  • frankcasillas50 Frank (@frankcasillas50) reported

    @SeaOfThieves NICE but pleaseeeee fix the servers and rubber banding. Black screen glitch needs fixing also

  • CaptainFoxytrot Captain Charlie Foxtrot 🐀 (@CaptainFoxytrot) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Not so much burnt out but tired of server-side issues… there’s not a lot of games popular right now that give the same vibes SoT gives.

  • RestiveChunk RestiveChunk (@RestiveChunk) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Who cares about roleplaying? :P There are many times lagging even when walking. There are hundreds of bugs. Maybe one day you will fix the bugs. 🫣🥴

  • Ac3Nigthmare Ac3 (@Ac3Nigthmare) reported

    @lmDinoNuggie @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I took a merm on an empty server, in open water, and still took a solid minute to get back. Its defiantly an issue.

  • rpatogg Man I Love Fuecoco (@rpatogg) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Maybe ill play If the game stops crashing every time I shoot my flintlock, only exclusively while I shoot that specific gun, fix this pls

  • 7eventy7_ 7eventy7 (@7eventy7_) reported

    @Zero_Nexus_King @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd You're right I should just be a patient little pirate while the issues compound, becoming worse and worse with every content update.

  • TyColt Tyler Colt (@TyColt) reported

    @SeaOfThieves What's the deal mateys? Your website says SOT is up but i'm getting an error when I try to log in that says the services are unavailable?

  • TheEmeraldYosh1 TheEmeraldYoshi (@TheEmeraldYosh1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support There is a HUGE problem with console controller only lobbies. They are just filled with people using mouse and keyboard adapters. I have my sense at max and people somehow have it higher and are flick-sniping me and it isn’t fun. (1/2)

  • Salavixs Gay Platypus 🏴‍☠️ He/Him (@Salavixs) reported

    @mariastorma @SeaOfThieves You must not play the game if you think it’s that easy to fix hitreg. It’s not. There are too many factors that go into it to list, that make it the complicated mess that it is. Also, we literally just got a bunch of gameplay changes this season. We can afford to wait for more

  • Mjyoung23 Alpha🐺 (@Mjyoung23) reported

    @SeaOfThieves been stuck on finding the x for 20min fix this 🫡

  • ParrotGaming69 Parrot Gaming (@ParrotGaming69) reported

    @lmDinoNuggie @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Yes. I’m sure the devs are looking into this. They had a similar issue a while back.
