꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reportedLast ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 30+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

Jon (@JoNiScLoSeR) reported@SeaOfThieves Any update on why the Xbox servers have severe lag every-time anyone plays ? Or gonna keep pretending it isn’t a thing 👏🏻

- ̗̀Ｚ ̖́- (@Zairin__) reported@romanticidexx @wizardberry2822 @SeaOfThieves Except there's tons of people complaining about bugs. I made a whole list of things that are not connection issues, but server issues. I'm running on gigabit internet, and still get understandable rubberbanding, but everyone else I play with also sees the same bugs.
-
Slimey Pigeon (@Slimey_Pigeon) reported@JakesBadd @SeaOfThieves Diminishing the issue at hand with raising other, very valid, problems, is not a way to progress.
-
Copper🔜 SoTFest 2026 Panelist (@Coppertailwolf) reported@coldsot_ @SeaOfThieves I had this bug in insiders- because it was testing I didn’t leave and saw it thro and had people pissed but I was like “literally following through on the testing- the entire purpose of right now” That being said I got the same bug yesterday and scuttled cause I don’t want to win like that XD it’s a very broken bug - you’re untouchable too outside the ring closing in. I imagine a lot of people will do the same in that situation, but unfortunately a lot won’t.

Hans (@HansWalter113) reported@SeaOfThieves Server down? I cant join the Sea! 🙄
-
Blue Field Above (@BlueFieldAbove) reported@SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Your problem wasn't the game. Your problem is you try to appeal to the whiniest of the player base who felt entitled to gold they hadn't stolen fairly. Now, ffs, I'll forgive it all if you spawn a Shrouded for me. 8k hours guys, like damn, I'm dying here.
-
Lynnalia (@LynnaliaTV) reported@fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves Epic does it to "dogfood" their own engine, showing it off and also finding development issues. Considering their scale, that has massive value. Rare has no such incentive, especially when the game already runs so poorly.
-
OphieIRL (@OphieIRL) reportedHold Rare accountable. They won't do it themselves. Do not let this turn into a joke or a developer issue. A child was hurt because of Rare's continued lax approach to player safety. This kid needs us to step up, and those who don't are failing them. #Rare #seaofthieves
-
Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reported@Toast205 @LordofCh8os @SeaOfThieves Reportedly DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. Isn't the first time it's been seen either.. Both Peanut situations specifically have been within a hour.
-
Notcaringmuch (@notcaringmuch) reported@squidkiller8781 @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves well look, cheaters aren't really a big problem now. There were less of them than the actual number of bugs. They made them "grind" to be able to play Hourglass, so most risks their main profile in the process or completely given up on playing with those. (Yes on PC)
-
Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported@Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves That is what I mean by "not saying they are doing it correctly". First thing they should've done would've been put the people in question on leave until issues are pointed out. But then again, it's not the fault of most of the company. It's the fault of PR and also HR.

SwordSandwich (@HansSprungfild) reported@ZaiziusYT @SeaOfThieves @BehavingBeardly open crew gally is broken right now. Try Brig or sloop.
-
Jedder Cheese (@JedderCheese05) reported@SeaOfThieves How about you fix your support team. I've been ignored for 4 days straight now.
-
Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported@WazzaC92 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Was it bad this glitch happend in the first place? Yes. But no one was stopping you from doing said voyages anyways. As they stated, those coins would've been added to your wallet.
-
Amy (@molnaramy00) reported@SeaOfThieves What was good: - The challenges, firework display, decorations. What was really bad for me: - We barely found players doing the voyages. If we found one after server hopping for hours, it was always a swabbie, because the decent players already finished their 3 voyages in ~30 mins. I think the challenges should be the main sources of doubloons, not the limited voyages on an already time limited event. A swabbie might get all 3 of them stolen and then that's it, only the minority of the playerbase are determined enough to search for people for hours, this part of the event is just not fun.. I don't have a problem with pvp, but just punching down on bad players isn't it.

shaun john (@shaunjo57082499) reported@SeaOfThieves your game is now trash and plagued by swarms of cheaters. I get you just ban them cause cheaters are happy to buy multiple copies of the game so its a + for your revenue, but how about just fixing the issue instead of being money hungry pigs that cover up pdf for a laugh,.
-
24 player servers? (@Treefittytwo) reported@SeaOfThieves Fix the bugs and exploits. Make harpoon gun not useable to board ships. Put HG on their own servers not on adventure mode. Delete the devils roar.
-
DUBB3D (@__DUBB3D__) reported@NessieDoes @SeaOfThieves @j0toro Since someone in a Bruno Files video is asking me to send proof of them knowing “everything”, I will clarify with this: When I said “they knew everything for a long time” I was alluding to the pig incident when I said that, which they did know about and deflected by turning their eyes away from it. The linked image below is a direct reference of proof for that. And by “they”, or “Employees” I mean Shirah and J0toro who are employed Community Managers working for Sea Of Thieves who were doing nothing about this issue, yet still endorsed and promoted Bruno

- ̗̀Ｚ ̖́- (@Zairin__) reported@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
-
Captain Doubloon (@DoubloonCaptain) reported@Game7DS @SeaOfThieves Applying for partner would be so amazing. It’s unfortunate to see this disconnect block me from it. Hoping this is addressed!
-
PIZZA (@PIZZA8D) reported@erick1656732 @SeaOfThieves @theburntpeanut why did it age well? he had the same problem again, if im not mistaken
-
Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reported@DalannaPlays @SeaOfThieves Regardless of what happened tonight Streamer mode should be a thing anyway for basic protection... It's a common thing on other games. Post wasn't entirely about Peanut though, its been a issue for multiple creators for 8 Years..
-
Isak (@kukizen1) reported@SeaOfThieves fix your game fellas servers are dying
-
DK2️⃣ (@DayKahDos) reported@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?)
-
Cope Leo XIV (@CRobinh00d) reported@OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves Removal from the website is good request... as far as the hat goes, a simple way to solve the that problem is to delete the game. If you really don't want to be associated with the game, then don't play it.
-
KingHotdogPig (@KingHotdogPig) reported@Musks_a_cunt @SeaOfThieves To protect players they should start by firing j0 and Shirah and updating their policies to better protect players. But that has nothing to do with the rest of the dev teams. The people building the game don’t control staffing or policy decisions. Expecting those people to stop working because of failures in another department isn’t right, and blaming them for issues they have no authority over makes all of us who have been talking about this look stupid. j0 has been actively deleting evidence during an ongoing investigation (which is illegal). And Shirah has been deleting peoples messages in the discord who speak up about this. That is who the community should be against.

Milkman (@themilkk_man) reportedSot is actually a rotting burning dumpster fire. Support and devs can’t ban or catch real cheaters and ban legit players and tell the community they are taking care of the cheating problem #seaofthieves #bemorepirate #rare
-
TWEENGO (@tweengo1) reported@EliEelEye @SeaOfThieves Region locked for me even though I'm in the uk and got the sails no problem.

Artist of Thieves (@ArtistofThieves) reported@surivSHANKS @ITZH4ZARD @SeaOfThieves The problem is not the orange association box, its the purple confirmed cheater box. No idea how they got that information though.
