    @SeaOfThieves Is Custom Seas gonna make regular server feel even more dead? Are hackers gonna be able to access it and crash it so that larger streamers cant even play it? Is it gonna be a buggy mess like the game is? 🤔

    @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Removal from the website is good request... as far as the hat goes, a simple way to solve the that problem is to delete the game. If you really don't want to be associated with the game, then don't play it.

    Last 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 40+ 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.

    @SeaOfThieves Ok, sounds good, but you have to fix your community management structure first.

    @CrustySockPuppy @SeaOfThieves This is a reasonable response. My perspective is that the issue of player safety has been talked about over and over again using the framework they provided both in the ticket system and in the partner discord. Nothing changed, it was ignored.

    @fraudatori @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves Sure the game has many problems, im not disagreeing on that regard. But just because another game has a pirate theme, doesnt mean it can replace sot gameplaywise. These other games just arent for me, as they cant replace what i like on sot.

    @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 @RareLtd @Rare Adding to this its sad to see a game that was in my life since i was 15 fall so far as it has, why cant you fix bugs,remove the acts system and add more permant content instead of taking it away like molten sands, that was incredibly fun cause it used the trading companies

    @SkyrageUk @CODE_3CH0 @SeaOfThieves Thats actually a completely different reason... on discord servers you can discuss issues till the mods ban you.... in my case, tiktok support line has been fully ai and you can't get thru to a human or even get actual answers cause they ai is too under developed... hope that you

    @SeaOfThieves @youtooz Fix ur game, harpooning me off a cannon shouldn’t glitch me to where I cant go back to the ferry after death and can’t use any weapons or items.

    @wizardberry2822 @Zairin__ @SeaOfThieves Same, & I'm running on HOTSPOT ROUTERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS!!! We don't have the cables dug for access to highspeed internet, so if ANYONE should be lagging & having major issues with bugs, it's me LOL (It would cost around $10k USD just to dig & install cables for access).

    @SeaOfThieves Its absolute crap Naked pirate cant put clothes on Gun always in the middle of the screen cant see Grab supplies and only having one of everything. Imagine trying to naval and after every shot grab a Canon ball Its not just some bugs this game is broken for me Zero fun

    @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves I would agree if the issue would be WITHIN the game, but this is OUTSIDE of the game mostly, on social channels. Again, cut-off people involved and close the discord server until things are solved. People that are responsible are mostly dangerous on these platforms.

    @SeaOfThieves You reset my doubloons. I am struggling to find out why you think that means I would want to return to the game? Can anybody on the dev team explain that to me? Why would I slog through your broken matchmaking system and buggy servers just to earn what I had, back?

  • DUSTYDONUTSSS

    @SeaOfThieves can we actually fix our game before we implement new systems? Here I am trying to pvp and get better at pvp and I'm... 1.) Glitching though my boat? 2.) Grabbing the latter when I interact with anything in my ship that requires interaction? 3.) all of the above? 3.

    @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:

    @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!

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support @SoTCommunity i just wanna say to all the people reposting and spreading this thank you so much i can only imagine how many other players recieved false bans and automated support messages i just hope they fix whatever bug this is so it doesnt happen to anyone else

    @KBoldZiel @SeaOfThieves What a shocker, SoT released yet another THIRD OF A SEASON AFTER DELAYS and it's broken. Can't protect their community, can't code their game, can't do anything but dump more things into Emporium. This game used to be so much better.

    @SeaOfThieves Please for the love of God, fix your buggy game. I've literally never experienced more game breaking bugs any other time than during bilgerats weekend.

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves Growing pains? Game is almost a decade old. If they don’t improve the issues that have plagued the game from day one like bad servers and hit registration then the game will die. Not to mention they should listen to the community, wasn’t that the whole point of opening insiders?

    @RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Im sorry but for a love service game thats some real ****** numbers to pull during an event but you keep on sailing your sinking ship.
