    @Manzana257 @SeaOfThieves But its not fun. It's forcing me to play if I want to participate, with a 9hr shift all week, I dont want to plan out every second im not working. 'Gotta play Cod from 9-11, then play sot 11-1, then work, then play fortnite 10-12

  • queeng1212 Queen G12. (@queeng1212) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why implement new things when every other day there are game issues? Why not fix the game first?

  • Wither_Master TheWitherMaster (@Wither_Master) reported

    @masterduck27 @SeaOfThieves As a side note some recording software have the option to record constantly then not save, that way when something cool (or bad) happens you can push a button and it saves the last 10 minutes, that may not help with the lag but it might help with space

  • LolCheez LOL_CHEEZ ITZ (@LolCheez) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @betta_rdr2 Also this shot wasn't edited it was a glitch with the Kraken

  • orangesunnyd Spencerz🐥 (@orangesunnyd) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i don't know how common this problem is, but I can't seem to take food from anything or anyone. When I asked my friend to hold out a piece of food it said take no name_II and it dropped on the floor

  • TylaGratton Tyla Gratton (@TylaGratton) reported

    @HarpyKeter @francisg1023 @SeaOfThieves I mean I don't like that this game is more broken now than it ever has been in my opinion and instead of taking time to fix the problems they just keep shoveling out mote content with mire problems.

  • bamankin Brooke M. (@bamankin) reported

    @Arensamaa @SeaOfThieves I have the game installed on a secondary internal SSD on my gaming PC and on an external SSD for my laptop. I've had no problems playing on either.

  • DavrimTV Davrim (@DavrimTV) reported

    @Captain_Falcore So @Captain_Falcore I have an issue with the selection of a non legendary chicken! Where is LARRY @SeaOfThieves ?!?

  • who_is_stoney stoney (@who_is_stoney) reported

    @Johnykluk @UprisingArk @SeaOfThieves I still don’t see the problem, nobody is getting an advantage from it, it’s just another thing to buy so you can have something to do while you play the game, it’s not like someone’s spending 300 dollars on gta to get op ****. It’s just clothes my man

  • Critical_Mage CriticalMage (@Critical_Mage) reported

    @SeaOfThieves you've got to fix fishing. It should not take 5 minutes to reel in a fish. You don't give us enough reel time.

  • CannonMunkii 🐒💨CannonMunkii💥 (@CannonMunkii) reported

    @chrishoulden86 @SeaOfThieves Well as they're not working on it anymore I don't think they're gonna add the brig lol

  • Clayton20819518 Clayton Reid (@Clayton20819518) reported

    @SeaOfThieves did the chicken get into the server room again? because im having some connection issues with the game and its been happening all day.

  • Justmy2cents11 Justmy2cents (@Justmy2cents11) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Based on the issues you've been facing recently i think this is going to be a mess.

  • UprisingArk Uprising: Ark Cluster (@UprisingArk) reported

    @who_is_stoney @Johnykluk @SeaOfThieves There are items exclusive to the plunder pass or at least it is for now. I see no problem with it, it does t hurt to spend $10 every 3 months. Be happy to support the developers of an awesome game.

  • sinceihaventyou ? (@sinceihaventyou) reported

    @SeaOfThieves this will being hitreg fix?

  • killzone1401 Killzone1401 (@killzone1401) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I wonder how broken the update will be this time.

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @Grogyy2 @SeaOfThieves I enjoying going back in Arena... been playing it more recently & it's a tonne of fun. The problem with Arena is it needs that something to get stuck into

  • who_is_stoney stoney (@who_is_stoney) reported

    @Johnykluk @SeaOfThieves The whole games thing is cosmetic though so I don’t see the problem, if they put an item behind it I would understand but I don’t think that’s the case

  • PcflWtrs Tasha s (@PcflWtrs) reported

    @mexiohighlights @SeaOfThieves fix hit reg

  • Johnykluk Johny (@Johnykluk) reported

    @UprisingArk @who_is_stoney @SeaOfThieves The problem is that corporations are just thinking of better was to milk the money from ya and you still stand up for them. Wasn't the emporium and 40 bucks for the game enough? Trust me, they're doing good on money. Plus there is nothing really as cool to unlock as the cosmets.

  • TylaGratton Tyla Gratton (@TylaGratton) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Ya'll need to focus more on fixing the game before doing anything like this. The game is so broken right now

  • Reborn_Commando C.Donald.H DicksCoronado (@Reborn_Commando) reported

    @TheNelsonMike @SeaOfThieves i just abandon ship and let it crash on rocks or in the dock xd

  • TonyGlo87026528 Tony Glover (@TonyGlo87026528) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your game please.

  • DragonTamerSki Deviant Ari 🌐 (@DragonTamerSki) reported

    @otoshinimo @Manzana257 @SeaOfThieves The point is that games only do this to force you to play them. Main problem is most people just buy a pass, burn out the game for a week, and then never touch it again. Almost all my friends do it, they just play different games, ive never spent a dime on those passes

  • pinkwkid pinkwkid (@pinkwkid) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I swear if there are problems tracking progress....

  • Cid_ESO Nicholas Cid (@Cid_ESO) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport Your website doesn't give me an option to report that I am experiencing server issues. I keep disconnecting from your server and it's not on my end. There is nothing wrong with my internet.

  • thewildss Thewildss (@thewildss) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No sweats no problem all I want is my lovely lovely sea of thieves. Dont change in a bad way stay the same in a good way. <3

  • sj460162 Stevie Bestcod (@sj460162) reported

    @SeaOfThieves First time ive complained about this game but when you catch a mermaid you shouldnt sit on a black screen for 20 mins...we lost our boat 3 times tonight because of this painful defect in the game. Please fix asap....call of duty anyone??

    @SeaOfThieves Yeah but will it work? You need to get your data loss issues fixed before pushing this in or else more issues will happen.
