    @SeaOfThieves Anybody not able to get into a match with the new war map? Just been endlessly matchmaking for 45 minutes now. Started off as an expected wait of 2 to 4 minutes then said 4 to 6. Anybody else having this issue?

  • JudeBro31116456 Jude Brown (@JudeBro31116456) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please, god please, can you fix the enemy spawns. I can't go one minute without tons of ocean crawlers ruining my day. The spawns are broken, we don't want this many enemies, and the game is not enjoyable because of this.

  • burgeevred Spron (@burgeevred) reported

    Has anyone had issues with crossplay on #SeaOfThieves ? Had two friends playing on steam and I couldn’t join with one of them. “Join game” was grayed out.

    So I am absolutely trash at #SeaOfThieves PVP, but I want the legendary curse so bad!! I have been trying over and over again and I have won one game out of like 20. Does anyone else have this problem like Skill Based Matchmaking isn't working? @SeaOfThieves

  • Chance_SoT Chance (@Chance_SoT) reported

    There’s obviously a few issues with this new update, but overall I am having the best time in SoT that i’ve had in the past year or so. @SeaOfThieves totally killed it with this update, and I’m super excited to see what more they can do it with it. #SeaOfThieves

  • Batesyy98 Bates (@Batesyy98) reported

  • RLFurryVideos Ryv and/or Lerks @ MFF (@RLFurryVideos) reported

    @DrakiousDerg @SeaOfThieves Lol! Now I have to go to Ancient Spire and try that before they fix it!

  • Chicken_in_hat 🐓Chicken🐓 🏺 (@Chicken_in_hat) reported

    @SlamDannigan @SeaOfThieves Fix? Issue?

  • bobjoe54215696 captain hare formally known as bob joe (@bobjoe54215696) reported

    @GreatTweetJohn @MasterCrabs01 @SeaOfThieves then i guess it was keg torpedo glitch

  • BilyJesusworth Billy Jesusworth (@BilyJesusworth) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Some of these match making times are ridiculous. I feel as soon as i get to 5 wins then you are lucky to get to 6 and 7. But if you get passed that then the match making is decent. Something about becoming champion makes it glitch i feel like.

  • Zex_aka_Don I Shall Commit Seppuku (@Zex_aka_Don) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Now if you would so kindly do a hot fix still glitching throw the boat an canons won't work sometimes

  • bobjoe54215696 captain hare formally known as bob joe (@bobjoe54215696) reported

    @MasterCrabs01 @GreatTweetJohn @SeaOfThieves the keg glitch is where you shoot at keg underwater using another keg hitbotc did it first and yeah there are hackers in every game but hackers are rare here

  • 01_alastor Alastor 01 (@01_alastor) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix matchmaking times

  • VenomousGO Tristan (@VenomousGO) reported

    @Padam500 @SeaOfThieves Literally same issue for me

  • kore_virus Kore Virus (@kore_virus) reported

    @Vanccel_v0 @SeaOfThieves @NimbatFidget Hitscan still had issues atleast prior

  • SlamDannigan SLaM Dannigan (@SlamDannigan) reported

    Oi oi! Unpopular opinion: To fix the blunder spam issue in Season 8 of @SeaOfThieves make “throwables” throwable only… Up the held amount to 5 of each only Sorted!

  • bobjoe54215696 captain hare formally known as bob joe (@bobjoe54215696) reported

    @InkyGhosts @MasterCrabs01 @SeaOfThieves then i guess they did the keg torpedo glitch or they were hacking like he said

  • Daniel75986190 Daniel (@Daniel75986190) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hi is there a problem with the new system and finding opponents? I’ve tried 3 times now and I’ve waited about 20 plus minutes starting over switching factions everything. Nothing seems to work? This has been for the last 24 hours or so. Have you guys heard this problem from any1?

  • dyamicsoul67 dyamicsoul67 (@dyamicsoul67) reported

    @SeaOfThieves my game just disconnected me and lost about 2-3 hours of grinding please for the love of god fix your servers

  • TheeIrish Thee_Irishman (@TheeIrish) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix matchmaking, don’t tell me 1-2 minutes and take 20.

  • MasterCrabs01 Master Crab (@MasterCrabs01) reported

    @bobjoe54215696 @GreatTweetJohn @SeaOfThieves Problem with that in this case is treasure donated to ship appeared in top right if it was underwater it would just explode not give me renown they would have to be on or above my boat to drop and donate so to speak

  • CommanderXHydra CommanderXHydra (@CommanderXHydra) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, but hours upon hours of playing? My crew and I had a decent run at the end. Literally sunk one ship and we went to do our last round and it was the same guys! No way it’s at the beginning. I think it’s broken entirely!

  • Gldi2020 Captain Chicken (@Gldi2020) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Plead fix the duo sloop and solo sloop matchmaking. I've been matchmade as a solo sloop with a duo sloop. 2 times already. I've seen it happen to other players to. I know this is intentional, but it would be really great if you where to get rid of the fact that other ships can-

  • SillyV1sion SillyVision 👻 Ghost Vtuber (@SillyV1sion) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your matchmaking system.
