    Has anyone else been having trouble with their quest radials in #seaofthieves or is it just a me problem??? #help @SeaOfThieves

  • Kokokatten Kokokatten (@Kokokatten) reported

    @JemmaFoxsong @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Also, 25% of their partners quit streaming and they don’t maintain it. And so many more issues. The partners that stream, stream sot less and less. They would benefit on recruiting more but why would they care at this point.. they just try to milk a dying cow.

  • bob316uk Robert Burr (@bob316uk) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i've playing on safer sea in this game and there would seem to be a problem with luck of my mate. Was walking up down The ship couldn't do anything that we wanted to do and we're having ships that fly in midair, and then ended up not float in water it must be a bug.

  • Nemesis2K ꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I redeemed this and never got coins or a hat.. support said wait 72 hours. I have this problem every single time there is exclusive items and I have to go yapping to support to fix it. Its annoying.

  • Lukathy95 Luke (@Lukathy95) reported

    @KozbiaF @SeaOfThieves The games been a glitch mess since day 1... we've all had our rants, me more than most but not 7 year on...

  • Lukathy95 Luke (@Lukathy95) reported

    @AkuUkaa @SeaOfThieves But we know the servers cant cope with those big updates... they haven't for a fair few year BUT fixing server side issues isnt a quick fix sadly

  • 123griswold321 GRISWOLD (@123griswold321) reported

    @DeadCarnival @SeaOfThieves @BeckyandKittie Still. So lazy they Havnt fixed this. The waves when in water is another broken thing. You can see all underwater rocks when it happens. They are hyping a new season which is a reskinned merchant faction. Lazy lazy lazy. But guess what the emporium works fine.

  • LoKoWaVy Leek Leek (@LoKoWaVy) reported

    @Xbox @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Fix the Design Lab

  • DB_P00PER D.B. Pooper (@DB_P00PER) reported

    @Lukathy95 @CaptMcGuffin @SeaOfThieves I expect the game to fix the issues people have been complaining about for 7 years. It is a live service game, and instead of evolving with the quality of other games around it, the game still suffers from poor performance and lackluster updates.

  • Turbobajas Hoddis (@Turbobajas) reported

    @Taaaaamas @SeaOfThieves It is under SoT's control. It should be a login bonus or obtainable through doing anything in-game.

  • Lukathy95 Luke (@Lukathy95) reported

    @lackyyD2 @SeaOfThieves No... they're shitting on the game. The games been out 7 year, majority of games dont get updates like SoT does 7 year on. Everyone knows the game has its issues, some more complex than others. At this stage, we should of all accepted that fact & enjoy it for what it is

  • Joreftw Jore (@Joreftw) reported

    has this happen to anyone else lately? you really want to play sot... but the servers are so bad you keep teleporting around the outposts, you see player boats flating in the sky and skelly ships on islands? yeah welcome to sot 2025. S17 won't save it. @SeaOfThieves please fix it

  • Lukathy95 Luke (@Lukathy95) reported

    @DB_P00PER @CaptMcGuffin @SeaOfThieves What do you expect for a 7 year old game. The glitches/issues everyone is ranting about were the exact same things we all ranted about in the early days & the exact same people ranting now **** on us for ranting...

  • KozbiaF Jinxed Mushroom (@KozbiaF) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves "big good update" I hope you're not talking about season 16, because a deployable cannon that's more of a problem to you then to enemies and one voyage that got boring 1 week after launch isn't big

  • Misino_ mist / misinterpretation (@Misino_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This would’ve been a cool login reward i’m surprised that there just doesn’t seem to be one

  • Lukathy95 Luke (@Lukathy95) reported

    @CamPanda_ @SeaOfThieves Of course timing matters... if this energy was present 5 year ago from the content creators when majority of us were raising these issues maybe the fixes theyre rolling out now maybe have been rolled out way sooner

  • KnuDahl SwabKn3t (@KnuDahl) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd It's always cool to get something new, BUT. I can't get the Rare Ruby Hat because it says, “This item isn't available, either due to your region or login state, but you can still redeem your points for items listed on this Rewards redemption page.” RARE COME AN!

  • antlerschuukick Antlers & Chuu Kick (@antlerschuukick) reported

    @Xbox @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves And you havent done **** in the years that you purchased them except that live-service game. You also cancelled a highly-anticipated project and made one of the most important figures in that studio quit. You are horrible at managing your people.

  • spaces_times Atlas (@spaces_times) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd @S0nicbob very confused is this an error that season 17 is coming to August 8 then 14 it doesn't make sense

  • Jumper92PL Jumperovsky (@Jumper92PL) reported

    @W0ty__ @SeaOfThieves People still going to share excitement and overall positivity, when I see we didn't get ANY visible change month after we were promised why we should expect them later. We were in state of "we gonna fix stuff soon" for couple years now. Everything still look same in this case.

  • KozbiaF Jinxed Mushroom (@KozbiaF) reported

    @TheNightgoblin0 @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves And totally not because the game gets almost no good content, has an anti cheat that doesn't work, and the only glitches that get fixed are the fun ones. And yes, the cheater problem is year, they can crash servers they're on.

  • KnuDahl SwabKn3t (@KnuDahl) reported

    @TheJackieB @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Should be a login bonus

  • ItzThomasBRUH Cyber  (@ItzThomasBRUH) reported

    @SeaOfThieves 1. Fix 2. Your 3. Game 4. Rare 5. Development Shoot mb that was a bad guess

  • Lukathy95 Luke (@Lukathy95) reported

    @ScuffedDuff @hoodeezbox @SeaOfThieves I'm not shitting on the game... I love the game tbf! You've gone to that comment superficially out of all the comments... My point is, the issues a lot of us raised years ago, we got **** on by the content creators not shitting on the game for the same things

  • WILDFIRE1441 WILDFIRE (@WILDFIRE1441) reported

    @Spammals @SeaOfThieves one problem with that: you need to either launch the game using the microsoft store, xbox or xbox app. Doesn't seem bad right? But if you have it on steam, then you're kinda ******, well, for ancient coins at the very least

  • ActivistGamer ℤ𝕠𝕞𝕓𝕚𝔾𝕣𝕚𝕞🧟‍♂️ (@ActivistGamer) reported

    @W0ty__ @SeaOfThieves Pretty much. Its not the military. Its okay to play something else. Video games are for fun. If its not fun anymore then move on. You dont owe the game your "service"

  • Lukathy95 Luke (@Lukathy95) reported

    @AkuUkaa @SeaOfThieves I mean the Devs has even said themselves theres major server side issues... yes the Xbox 1 support won't help as they cant fully optimise it BUT theres so much on the server they cant cope

  • AkuUkaa Conker Reloaded (@AkuUkaa) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves think its not an server issue, it is because they still support xbox one version most likely, if they keep supporting it we will get smaller updates over and over, Above the Devils roar map they can easily add like 10 new islands and below like 10-15.

  • ActivistGamer ℤ𝕠𝕞𝕓𝕚𝔾𝕣𝕚𝕞🧟‍♂️ (@ActivistGamer) reported

    @EdvinFirestorm @W0ty__ @SeaOfThieves Its not going to improve to what you want. Yall do the same **** every season. Its clearly working for the masses because they keep doing it. Its just not working for you. Time to move on.

  • SAsparaguss Bald Head (@SAsparaguss) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix the game
