    @realraphi1 @SeaOfThieves I had the same issue repeatedly.

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Adventure still as broken as it was in its alpha stage. So unbelievable that 8 weeks of dev time delivered a half stable package.

    @Seery56 @SeaOfThieves My crew and I had to hop severs to get it to work. Either it s a pairing issue and there aren't any other crews running the adventure, or something else.

    @DarbyGlizzy @SeaOfThieves Smoke bombs would be fantastic thematically and gameplay-wise, I'll bet it's been on the Dev's radar. But, the servers barely cope as it is, and fog seems to be something that causes problems already, let alone if it's localised on a moving physics object. Servers would explode.

    I think #SeaOfThieves #sot should probably have address their arena refugee problem before ever attempting this.

    I hate the set up for the Hunter’s Cry Adventure in @SeaOfThieves. It sends you to a small close quarters area in the Sea of the Damned. The problem is that it sends other players to the same one as you, meaning you will have to deal with griefers instead of doing the Adventure.

    @unsungwindham @epicsugarplumx @SeaOfThieves The problem is these adventures aim for cooperation between different crews in a game all about sinking each other's ships. Either make PvE servers or don't make time limited adventures where PvP can actively prevent you from completing them.

    @SeaOfThieves become a captain and.."There was a problem loading your ship selection. Try again shortly." all day everyday

    @IAmThatch @SeaOfThieves This is the same thing i cant even wrap my head around. Honestly wish they would fix this an add an anticheat software to lower the amount of hackers in the game.

    @ShekelSean @SeaOfThieves I want them to not release broken messes in the first place. Playtesting is a thing

    Fix your captaincy shipset saving .@SeaOfThieves I’ve already spent 300k+ just having to re-save customizations.

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Me and my cousin are having an issue with the new adventure we go through the first portal get to the second one and it stops and sends us back to the outpost and when we try agaithe game just completely freezes

  • LeMortaSavage
    LeMortaSavage (@LeMortaSavage) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I had issues getting through the portal, kept kicking back to the outpost, after the third try I finally got through and was able to complete it.

  • KingMyro
    Hunkulees (@KingMyro) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Every saved item I bought as a captain has now reset, and wants me to buy them all over AGAIN. Charging to save our loadouts was an awful idea in the first place (this should have been a free quality of life improvement) but now it's even worse. Fix incoming?

    @SeaOfThieves Isn’t down time for hotfixes generally meant to actually make progress to fix things? I’ve never seen a team so slow to fix so many pertinent issues in the game

    @SeaOfThieves It’s broken it doesn’t work ffs time limited events are stupid just stop

    @SeaOfThieves Does this one lag the game like all the other trinkets? 6 ships?

  • InkyGhosts
    Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @epicsugarplumx @ClarenceDube @SeaOfThieves Same reason that there are commendations and cosmetics earned by sinking other ships and selling their stolen loot and broken emissary flags.

  • KingMyro
    Hunkulees (@KingMyro) reported

    @Arkalay3 @SeaOfThieves Ideally, Rare would fix this, and refund what you spent as an apology. But it's Rare, so...yeah. Probably will have to pay again The idea of charging for something so basic is bizarre in the first place. They make some very poor decisions

  • TheEmeraldYosh1
    TheEmeraldYoshi (@TheEmeraldYosh1) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I had no problems but that could be cause i did it when downtime ended so the spawncampers weren’t on yet, but the adventure itself was very fun

    @SeaOfThieves Shits broken an not only that every time it breaks we have to restart an deal with grifters an not only that but makes everything in barrels invisible an I restarted the game over an over about 5 time an no change make invite only servers you know this update broke the game

  • guysmile_twitch
    Guy Smile (@guysmile_twitch) reported

    @TheDrKrazy @SeaOfThieves Yeah, tbh one of the main reasons I haven't done the new adventure. Watched another streamer today and they got a petty good group that worked together .... mostly. But I've heard a few that have had trouble with people trying to keep other crews from completing it

  • JayReed51819969

    @420J69 @killzone1401 @SeaOfThieves I think the problem here is your misunderstanding the game for what it is. You and many of the other PVE hype train. Simple solution is. Learn to fight (Naval/cqc) and you wont get sunk constantly. If you don't want that try Minecraft sandbox.

  • MRedeyes9

    @XboxWire @majornelson @SeaOfThieves It is broken can’t start it tried 7 times

  • iamtygrah
    Tygrah (@iamtygrah) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Have to give you the honest answer. The whole adventure was done in about 10min. I climbed up, spoke to (without spoiling) someone to finish the adventure and got to the 2nd part which was... just sailing. I'm very disappointed. They'd rather fix the "known issues" in my opinion.
