  • W0ty__ W0tyy (@W0ty__) reported

    @Hoody_chan2002 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support so far i hope they are trying to implement some changes and i completly understand, they do not wanna publicly reveal that they have massive problem with cheaters. only thing we can do is wait and watch. Nothing else

  • ImoutoLight ImoutoLight (@ImoutoLight) reported

    @SeaOfThieves you've heard it all before but when are we going to see an improvement on these cheating issues?

  • SlugraLive slug (@SlugraLive) reported

    @SeaOfThieves If I could play I’d be solo slooping but I keep getting a 0x800706d9 error code

  • CGbler Deeron (@CGbler) reported

    Anyone else having #server #problems in #SeaOfThieves at the moment? Traders not really working and high ping. All since yesterday. Nothing changed on hard- and software setup

  • gjk_pg pgGAMINGjk (@gjk_pg) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The game is broken Call me a non-pvp enjoyer but it's bad for those of us who want a sea of thieves experience that doesn't involve being ambushed by kill hungry reapers and players when I want a peaceful narrative adventure where progress can be made without forced PvP.

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @bruinsjb99 @SeaOfThieves Tell us you didn't listen to the podcast episode without saying it. The cheater problem was literally one of the first topics they covered.

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @HoldoViii @Cloudnine5000 @SeaOfThieves Your point made it sound like you were making sea of thieves seem like the only game that had a "serious" cheater issue, with the whole "dont play this game, its full of cheaters" point, rather than every competitive game in the world, some of which actually are unplayable now.

  • Mysterypeel Ed (@Mysterypeel) reported

    @SeaOfThieves First sign of trouble as a sloop, straighten sails and go directly into the wind until they give up

  • fox47th VC Fox47th (@fox47th) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I have figured out a reason why there are more Guardians of Fortune then Servant’s of the Flame. Of course cosmetics have a hand in it, but it is a far more larger problem. May I ask, how many people representing GoF fight SotF now, after the matchmaking patch?

  • AKatyshin Aleksandr (@AKatyshin) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I was pleasantly surprised when I found the reflections of fireworks on the water surface. And I was even more surprised when I didn’t find them during the explosions of gunpowder barrels... Fix please :)

  • ATControlYT ATControl (@ATControlYT) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Brand new to PvP and you have me matched up back to back with people who have already reached lvl 100 in both factions. FIX YOUR GAME. HOW IS THIS FAIR?!

  • CapnJerZey Cap'n JerZey (@CapnJerZey) reported

    Day 2 of tagging @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves everyday until they acknowledge the rampant cheating problem in their game or introduce an anti-cheat #bemorepirate #seaofthieves #wedeservebetter

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @CaptRattlebones @COL3M1NOR @SeaOfThieves Were you trying to fight people while invincible? Why didn't you just leave and then log back in to fix it?

  • jerem923 Jerem (@jerem923) reported

    @ElyaPog @SeaOfThieves Thanks 💙 Is this always like this or with a F5 it's back to normal ? (I think I now when it can happen, I will try to fix that today)

  • Prusselusken_BG Prusselusken_BG (@Prusselusken_BG) reported

    @Comrade_Ash_ @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support No, they dont read the information that i provided because i am banned. I get the automated copy/paste text and the support ticket is closed. I don't even get to the point of actual conversation back and forth. That's how broken the system is.

  • jensvankouwen JMverhuur (@jensvankouwen) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The voice chat is not working help meeeee!!!!

  • jensvankouwen JMverhuur (@jensvankouwen) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The voice chat is not working yesterday

  • Stephen_BrEx Brutal_Excision (@Stephen_BrEx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Have you guys got a fix for the sovereign harpoons? They currently act as if the lift is still at the top even when it's not

  • ActivistGamer ℤ𝕠𝕞𝕓𝕚𝔾𝕣𝕚𝕞 (@ActivistGamer) reported

    @SeaOfThieves We gunna fix the cheating before this or nah

  • Biggy_Motion Grambit (@Biggy_Motion) reported

    Is anyone else have trouble with SeaofThieves? It's been acting strange with all the pop ups every time I go to buy stuff and lag spikes for no reason. I even checked my connection but it shows it's running great.

  • DakotaR62771851 Dakota Rae (@DakotaR62771851) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This game needs a new anti cheat system the hackers are horrible you can’t even have fun playing the game doing voyages when hackers come to you and you can’t sink their ship because they have ship invincibility I’ve played this game faithfully for over 2 years RARE PLEASE FIX IT

  • 2DIRTBLOCK JAX (@2DIRTBLOCK) reported

    @FireBreathMan @SeaOfThieves Ngl these issues have been going on in SOT for a very long time and I’ve known many players and even partnered streamers who had to leave the community due to harassment in the game :/

  • HoldoViii AdmiralHoldoVIII (@HoldoViii) reported

    @SmithyBug @Cloudnine5000 @SeaOfThieves Definitely not I've been saying in replies for like everything now that cheating is a problem sooo

  • imagiea78 Imagiea78 (@imagiea78) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No wonder people are hacking. It's to hard to get to level 100 of the factions especially if your bad at pvp and sbmm is still broken which doesn't help at all

  • pteth1 pteth (@pteth1) reported

    @crazed38 @ChillliBomb @SeaOfThieves and if they would allow either a pve server style on official where you couldnt cross from pve to pvp or vice versa and only be eligible for pvp on a pve server if you manually flag for it. problem solved but they refuse to do that.

  • azuldimeter NunoAzuldimeter 🏴‍☠️ (@azuldimeter) reported

    @SeaOfThieves My advice to new players is: Don't be a tryhard. Have fun, enjoy the game. It's a casual game, not a competitive one. Don't look up for those who play this with all the tricks to glitch the game for their advantage or those who hack. Just be yourself.

    @SeaOfThieves Is gold rush not working for anybody else?
