    @SeaOfThieves Just saying, as someone who loves the game, you're letting the community down. If it were a key priority, it would've been fixed a year or so ago, but instead, it's constantly getting worse, never better. Fix. Your. Hit. Reg. How can the NAL be a thing when half of it is RNG.

    @iLaserShark @SeaOfThieves Not STILL broken damn

  • jaredgoddeeeenn ThatNZguy (@jaredgoddeeeenn) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Did this fix hit reg? Because we all know this is still a huge issue. And we also know that nothing has been done to try and improve it. It's getting worse. 4 sniper shots to kill someone not eating? Chainshots just phasing through masts? And yet you say otherwise each update?

  • Musicmee_ musicmee ツ (@Musicmee_) reported

    @Vhaeriel @SeaOfThieves Plunder Valley… a bird with a broken wing?

  • Russeeeeell_x Ronnie Russell (@Russeeeeell_x) reported

    @Xbox @SeaOfThieves Every time I go to load up a game it says that I need to sign in with the person who bought it even I’m signed it to it I’ve restarted the Xbox and turned it off and back on and it still says the same anyone know what to do?

    @MckeownMalcolm @Xbox @SeaOfThieves Shut up is it not obvious that there are issues

  • Ladder_of_Glass Dreamer (@Ladder_of_Glass) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport I keep wanting to give this another go, but never really seeing any significant, interesting gameplay updates. Mightve missed something for season 2 but cosmetics arent the issue

  • JerseyDee22 Damon Heyer (@JerseyDee22) reported

    @CheeseBefehl @SeaOfThieves Find a friend, meet people and party up problem solved, people cry about playing solo but yet don't find people to play with to help. If you play solo deal with it. Stop crying cuz you won't change

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hi @SeaOfThieves and @RareLtd I'm just wondering what you guys plan to re-skin next as you never actually make the effort to create new models unless it goes in the emporium. Also when will you actually fix all game breaking bugs that you've ignored now? It's beyond a joke.

  • ReallyBlazedFox Austringer (@ReallyBlazedFox) reported

    @abadwal1 @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport Why are you asking the Sea of Thieves devs to fix a game made by another dev entirely?

  • MckeownMalcolm Malcolm Mckeown (@MckeownMalcolm) reported

    @Xbox @SeaOfThieves Anybody else having problems with there xbox

  • n3dd3rs Nedders (@n3dd3rs) reported

    @xboxuk @SeaOfThieves Can someone at Microsoft please say something about the connection issue many are experiencing??

  • CWB261992 CW (@CWB261992) reported

    @LumaTr1x @SeaOfThieves Never. It's so complex that I doubt we'll ever see a fix

  • IgobyDanny Danny💬 (@IgobyDanny) reported

    @MateSpianSVK @SeaOfThieves Kill and restart the app and join the game. Once I do that I start getting spammed with all my season stats. But that doesn't keep from the error occuring again. Also usually happens in areas that have a lot of other players. So yeah, in a fight, I'll get booted.

  • kayceadea dietz (@kayceadea) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix hit reg

  • Shanick92 Shanick (@Shanick92) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @ChappersChapman So in the new Pendragon Issue he gets something from an Island. That Island looks like Sailors Bounty. Is it maybe that he got it from that destroyed tunnel?

  • Azunight309 MentalJeff (@Azunight309) reported

    @Antonuwa1 @Xbox @SeaOfThieves The servers are currently having issues checking ownership of games for some people apparently. I'm having the same issue.

  • Vinnyiow Vinnyiow (@Vinnyiow) reported

    @xboxuk @SeaOfThieves Why is my xbox saying the person who bought this needs to sign in whilst I'm signed in?

  • kore_virus Kore Virus (@kore_virus) reported

    @Lukathy95 @FOXD11E @SeaOfThieves hit reg is a latency issue, the more added to the server offloading it seems hit reg tick rates of the server wont improve, at the moment its sad to say but sot has one of the worst hit reg problems then any other game, and its not a hard game
