    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves Maybe some of them might ask why season 8 shouldn't die in two months. The reason is that it's better to be consistent. Maybe a new reward will come out from PvP faction in Season 9. I would like to point out that that is a problem.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves Maybe the top user will look at this problem and think, "I'll get what I get right now and then I'll get out of this game mode." It's because I got tired of watching bugs by winning about 150 games.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @TonkyTc @SeaOfThieves Even if we solved various problems, there are many users who are already tired of the difficulty level. In general, people find it hard to trust the other person again when they make a mistake. Now that trust is running low, strong incentives are needed to bring users back.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @TonkyTc @SeaOfThieves Maybe you're in the lower rank or the upper rank. Right now, middle rank users are going into crew matching for more than an hour. We need to solve the existing problem to prevent the decline from increasing and bring users back by lowering the hurdles a little bit.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @TonkyTc @SeaOfThieves I think it was intended to slow down the current game mode and naturally melt into the existing server. However, the game cycle itself was slowing down so much that it became a problem.

  • Tha_Dust Dustin james harris (@Tha_Dust) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please make it default for xbox to play with each other instead of having it cross play automatically And take away double gunning and fix the feature where if you sprint cancel it stops the switching wepon animation time limit

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You know this kind of play with fire doesn't matter, right? The vast majority of users are protesting, and if you deal with it later, you can't regain trust. Everyone knows about the problem with SEASON 8 and it's a mistake

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves Matchmaking, which used to be 30 minutes, is closer to an hour or more, and as your skills and lvl rise to the top level, matchmaking is slower because existing top-ranked users have already been rewarded and left due to various problems.

  • JulianFuchs15 DichterNox (@JulianFuchs15) reported

    @FaZezima @SeaOfThieves How should they fix it?

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves Then the problem here is how do you put up a higher upper limit of lvl condition when you didn't participate properly in the previous season? You might think like this " What? Do you want me to do that hard grinding again?

  • Senxiou1 Senxiou (@Senxiou1) reported

    @JeolladoDaimyo @SeaOfThieves BlunderBomb is the problem !:(

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves This time value is similar when switching VPNs. This means that the same matching problem is repeated in other countries besides my country. It is clear that the population of season 8 is decreasing, and the longer it takes to match, the worse the population outflow will be.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @Evilslither1 @SeaOfThieves I cause irritation on purpose. I'll repeat this until the problem is solved If you're too stressed, block me Personally, I'm sorry.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @TonkyTc @SeaOfThieves As the population is shrinking due to a complex problem, the gap between the top and bottom users becomes too wide, increasing matchmaking time in all ranking areas and causing a vicious cycle due to repeated derailments.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves Perhaps the top-ranked user will look at this problem and think, "I'm going to escape this game mode after I get what I'm going to get right now." Because they got tired of seeing the questions while playing 150 wins or so

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves Also, there are many kinds of bugs, tdm crew, hacking, glitch, etc. and they appear a lot. The damage is concentrated on top-ranked users because this also makes even willing users who are capable and have a high probability of success. Because they don't lose, they only win

  • shenanigoon Floidberger For 8 Dollars (@shenanigoon) reported

    I think the only dumb thing about #SeaOfThieves season 8 PvP is if you're just doing the PvE looting aspect and get into a fight, you still lose your voyage. The voyage loss needs to be fixed whether it continues or starts it over. I hate Rare misses these easily solvable issues.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @Duxheb @SeaOfThieves They don't think there's a problem with the two-to-one battle because the alliance is part of the system. I ruled out all other forms of sabotage, but I left this alone.

  • Chazzypoofs ChazzyPoofs (@Chazzypoofs) reported

    @YooKaydw @SeaOfThieves You're acting like Blunder bombs have not been in the game for years now. I don't see anything wrong with them, depending on how you use them and your opponents use them, adjust your strats. Blunder bombs are not an issue, compared to hit reg.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @BoydNanookm @SeaOfThieves @majornelson The situation is decreasing even more now, and due to various bugs, glitches, and tdm crew problems, they leave at a faster pace.

  • HeozGaming Jioz (@HeozGaming) reported

    @JeolladoDaimyo @SeaOfThieves You spamming on their tweets is not "the vast mayority of users". If you encounter issues, report and have patience.

  • Kallieco_ Kallieco ♡ 🔞🏳️‍⚧️ (estrogen arc) (@Kallieco_) reported

    i either fight people with no ******* brain or i fight ultra sweatlords please fix this ****. #SeaOfThieves

  • Gilli_GilliTTV Gilli_Gilli (@Gilli_GilliTTV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves how do I fix long black screens so I can stop loading in after I sunk?

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves There are also many kinds of bugs, tdm crew, hacking, glitch, and so on. The damage is focused on the top users, because they can't afford to lose, they're always at the top, and they break the will of the top users.

  • thecrowtheone gargia matrila (@thecrowtheone) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your game guys imagine hard working on pvp content and didn't take care of noob who not even trying to get better and full cheat with free lvl gain this thing will kill the game for sure second point do you know what is anti-cheat or not ?

  • EddieThe_Bear EddieTheBear (@EddieThe_Bear) reported

    @SoT_Support Ahoy mateys! With a recent bug, my microphone no longer works for others in #SeaOfThieves. It sounds like a blurry mess. I've tried everything on my end, so I will just wait for a fix.

  • xMLG_Drizzy Dave+ (@xMLG_Drizzy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You absolutely ruined the game with this broken PvP. You catered to Arena Sweats Forcing players to play with toxic members to get content isn’t the way to go. You can’t even grind this out. Don’t get me started on Athena 1000……you ****** up this time @RareLtd @SoT_Support

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @captainphish94 @SeaOfThieves Maybe they'll come running again and say like a girl, "skill issue, bro~" I'm already at level 50 and I'm just average. They know that my opinion is mocking because it smashes their faces and makes their heads bleed.

  • TheeIrish Thee_Irishman (@TheeIrish) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Cool, fix the game or at least tell us you have plans to fix it
