  @SeaOfThieves Dead game Dev team covers up a member who is a **** preying on children. Discord server guilty as well. Ignoring their disgusting issues. Good riddance

  Last 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.

  @ManVsMiniatures @SeaOfThieves Its written by their legal team not rare. They know how to phrase stuff without getting into more trouble. While I do agree, law wise their respond is sadly the only correct way.

  @KBoldZiel @SeaOfThieves What a shocker, SoT released yet another THIRD OF A SEASON AFTER DELAYS and it's broken. Can't protect their community, can't code their game, can't do anything but dump more things into Emporium. This game used to be so much better.

  @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves The problem with the voyage cap isn’t even the 3 per pirate - it’s the fact you can only complete 3 before it gives gold instead of doubloons. Apologies if this is what you meant - but I figured that we were gonna be able to do at least 12 (3x4 on gally) but couldn’t obviously

  @hasmoq @SeaOfThieves Oh? That's crazy because I had this happen to me a few days ago, it's in my videos on twitch. I got the unstable connection notification and decided to log out and restart PC. Is this a way to know there are hackers? I've also encountered the Garrison dive glitch 1/2

  We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well. And it doesn't matter if you write to Microsoft HR or the Board or anyone else. Your email gets dumped in the trash. Your voice doesn't matter. CMs for video games can do whatever they want apparently and silence their community. If only you knew how bad it is over here. We feel your pain, though. As a consumer, we aren't allowed to have an opinion or voice them.

  Can we get a blunderbuss revert or fix? I promise no one will be mad if you keep it at 90 damage and just revert the spread and range to the old blunder 🙏 @S0nicbob @SeaOfThieves

  @SeaOfThieves I would go back to playing this game on Steam, But I have to sign in to my Xbox Account to play it and I can't be bothered. That though my Gmail Account. So I might as well get this game for my Xbox Console (Series X) with a different account.

  @WazzaC92 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Other players have to put time and effort into multiple event weekends, while many players used this bug/glitch to buy everything right away, so these players (apparently including you) DID take advantage of that.

  matchmaking takes forever, flags disappear after diving back after a win before going thru the portal, masts glitch if you dont repair them, half the boats dont count toward streaks like wtf is this buggy mess i just want to play dollar tree arena in peace @SeaOfThieves

  @RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Same. I quit sot when they removed quickswap and made all combat clunky as a result of the fix, i will not come back to sot but i still follow the game, i played sot since 2018 until season 10 religiously, all my friends quit around that time too.

  @SeaOfThieves do you know that you kick players for idling WHILE ACTIVELY BROWSING AND PURCHASING FROM SHOPS?! Just thought you’d want to fix the dumb bug😒

  @LazyLakePaul @SeaOfThieves Imma warn you, a few streamers who’ve played SoT recently kept getting DDOS

  @SeaOfThieves Please for the love of God, fix your buggy game. I've literally never experienced more game breaking bugs any other time than during bilgerats weekend.

  @wizardberry2822 @Zairin__ @SeaOfThieves Same, & I'm running on HOTSPOT ROUTERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS!!! We don't have the cables dug for access to highspeed internet, so if ANYONE should be lagging & having major issues with bugs, it's me LOL (It would cost around $10k USD just to dig & install cables for access).

  @SeaOfThieves can we actually fix our game before we implement new systems? Here I am trying to pvp and get better at pvp and I'm... 1.) Glitching though my boat? 2.) Grabbing the latter when I interact with anything in my ship that requires interaction? 3.) all of the above? 3.

  @MWSlayerX @SeaOfThieves This is the guy they want to make community managers out of. The yes men cucks. The ones that refuse to see the problems.

  Lynnalia (@LynnaliaTV) reported 47 minutes ago

  @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.

  @SeaOfThieves Can you fix the flag one already? When i hit start now it just takes me back to main screen on PC and mobile.

  Smokes-N-Games (@Volerop) reported 57 minutes ago

  @FROTTOLEE @SeaOfThieves They should start by removing the one thing that connects silly pirate game to the real world. The pride bullshit. That is the catalyst for some of the most sick and vile people to flock towards SoT. The usual culprits are the flag pushers. They are a massive part of the problem, that very small, very vocal clique of players whom should not be trusted blindly in positions of power.

  @AlmtyChcknPoo @SeaOfThieves To be fair some of us kinda blow ***. I care more about numerous sot community moderators blocking me for talking about quality control issues within the game instead of glazing ******** out of it like a fat kid preparing a toaster strudel for himself.

  The bug where you "Can't Grab" crates seems to exist in the Weekender Doubloon Run Voyage. If you can't grab the cargo.. Buying a captaincy item OR merchant supply crate SOMETIMES fixes the issue.. Not guaranteed every time unfortunately... The issue seems CONSISTENT at Crescent Isle specifically. Not sure if Plunder has issues or not and maybe got lucky. Hope the intel helps others! @Seaofthieves #SeaofThieves
