    @SeaOfThieves You need to ******* fix PVP me and my friend are doing PVP and another ******* sloop that's not doing PVP come over and sinks us. How is this ******* fair when someone else comes over and ruins PVP FIX ******* PVP! @SeaOfThieves

    @SeaOfThieves One of the major issues with this event is the lack of frequency combined with the inability to earn doubloons almost at all now in between these weekends. The cap of 3 voyage completions before it gives gold is lame as well. Also server performance was TERRIBLE (fireworks?)

    @IamGreen112 @JoniK90461517 @SeaOfThieves But it’s obviously nothing compared to limited time things which are gone forever. In fairness we don’t know how long the rotations will be. If they’re quick I hardly see an issue with this

    @SeaOfThieves Can you fix your freakishly toxic player base?? I just got spawn killed a dozen times and got hit with "this is the point of the game" playing this game is exhausting. I can't even enjoy the thing you've added because im tok busy getting run up on by sweats

    @SeaOfThieves this is, without a doubt, one of the worst update videos ever. by any major live service title. how anyone, at any level, thought any of these decisions were good, is beyond me.

    The stream didn’t even last an hour… How did we not learn from Jynxzi, @RareLtd? Events like this make me sad to even admit how many hours I’ve put into SoT. Are you going to fix this issue four years later like HG, or actually do something NOW? Fix the damn game. #SeaOfThieves

    @romanticidexx @SeaOfThieves I have gigabit internet, so my internet isn't bad. And I'm not referring to rubberbanding. I'm referring to issues that literally affect ALL 4 PEOPLE ON A GALLEON, that a server hop typically fixes. Unfortunately, buggy servers is an almost 'every session' issue

    @SeaOfThieves It's crazy how quick people forget this is a pirate game when someone starts shooting at them But it's only a problem when they are sinking and not you

    peanut can play CS2 with no issues... cant play @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support with out an issue. Yall MISSED THE MARK per drew.

    @RareLtd your intentions are good, but if you can't ******* fix server merges in @SeaOfThieves, maybe don't force more of them, yeah? I'd rather choose to change servers than you try and kill it right as we're about to sell.

    @TippToppHansiI @SeaOfThieves @theburntpeanut Yeah i've played 4-5 days now. 2 of those days i was booted offline. One of those days it happened 20 times. Not sure how anyone defends this. And bad connections effect solo players even more because they have a razor thin margin of error to begin with.

    Please I beg you, PLEASE FIX this Cannon De-Synch happening right now. Cannons are completely out of Control especially in Hourglass when both Masts are down. 50/50 that your cannons actually land where you shoot them. @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support #SeaOfThieves

    @SeaOfThieves @NexdealSOT Why’s your game not working

  • BavarianDiablo
    BulgLad (@BavarianDiablo) reported

    @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves The issue I think rare has is they have too many conflicting points of interest in their own structure. I belong(ed) to the hardcore veteran players who felt being consistently overheard by the dev team to cater toward the casual gamepass players. That has ruined the game for me.

  • pell_colin
    PELL 365 (@pell_colin) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The deed for act one for damaging someone with a cannonball in a faction battle is not working, I’ve damaged people multiple times and even killed someone with one, any chance we can get this addressed when possible? Thank you!

    Blue Field Above (@BlueFieldAbove) reported

    @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?

    @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves worst part is you are getting hated by the community as soon as you mention issues about what rare is doing, you have no right to be a more competent person at spotting evident gameplay design problems than them. now we are stuck with rare listening to the wrong people

    @SergioJasonPina @SeaOfThieves By far the most casual pvp experience you will find online. With two working brain cells you can be better than 95% of the SOT population. Other players aren’t the problem

  • TJerikko
    Jerikko (@TJerikko) reported

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves I used to play City of Heroes. They introduced player created content. It was fun for about 3 months. And it will be fun to see what, you and other streamers come up with in these servers. The issues will start when the rest of us want into the private server(s) to play in your world. Servers limit ships to 6, is this the same for Private (rhetorical)? I like the idea, but fear that they (the devs) are currently throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

    Some didn't like #SeaOfThieves by @theburntpeanut Which of the three options would have been better? 1) Cheaters crash server 2) 8 hours of boring empty sea sailing + one battle against AFK solo-loop 3) HG where they'll be sunk so quickly they won't even know what happened
