    @SeaOfThieves Take the Fallen Sea dog lanterns to broken rowboats across the map. When it played seek the dead we had to go to graves to reveal the messages. Now with this try going to rowboats

  • SadBarnacleBoy Sad Barnacle Boy (@SadBarnacleBoy) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support #SeaOfThieves I cannot submit a support ticket? Every time I try to login it signs me out? Does anyone know why? I’ve tried signing in on multiple different devices and nothing works?

  • XilkyKarr Xilky (@XilkyKarr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves GG's to all.. but ******* exploits need to be fixed... exploits ruin these types of events... fix the exploits, prevent them from happening in the future..... exploits belong in the garbage dumpster fire that they came from.... and punish for them! Exploits are not okay!

  • amykate Amy Kate (@amykate) reported

    @SeaOfThieves are you having to waffle because there's a technical issue with the change?

  • LightninFire13 LightningFire (🔞/NSFW) (@LightninFire13) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Will the lag go away finally too? I along with around 20 friends have experienced so much lag when fighting large amounts of skeletons during FoF. Also if we have a decent amount of loot on our boat and get near other players the lag skyrockets.

  • flea_games Adamflea (@flea_games) reported

    @OptixGames @SeaOfThieves yeah like the adventures go after a while, why dont they remove other stuff and fix **** haha

  • decentravibe Rascal Mahoney (@decentravibe) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Oof, come on guys I don’t think it’s a lack of transparency, but typical that the good guys win If this is what the community chose so be it It sucks, but it’s a community problem not a rare problem at that point lol Burngoldensands

  • PresidentGrrson Grizzly Grrson (@PresidentGrrson) reported

    @Dragonflame1090 @jmcneill1123 @SeaOfThieves Morrows Peak? The server size isn’t tied to outposts, they had that turned down independently due to server issues.

  • CPTNoxNex Captain NoxNex ☠️ | NoxNex 🇺🇦 (@CPTNoxNex) reported

    @Bear_Festival @SeaOfThieves A toxic player that degrades other players and insults them while killing and sinking them.. only to fix their ship and spawn kill thin while spamming "Rolls on deck laughing" all this while flying a reaper flag.

  • TJerikko theRealJerikko Twitch Affiliate (@TJerikko) reported

    @TheAvoCouple @SeaOfThieves ? It was updated daily on the sea of thieves website. The only issue was lack of what was needed to be done, instructions need to be immediately clear which was not the case until around the second week. Otherwise good fun not the result I wanted,but I won't lose any sleep.

  • DeadeyeDavid20 David (Team Flameheart!) (@DeadeyeDavid20) reported

    @SeaOfThieves It was fun though, really hope flameheart doesn’t disappear again, hope he causes more trouble and hoping the reapers can win one soon 🔥

  • Lucky13X Lucky13X (@Lucky13X) reported from Garland, Texas

    @SeaOfThieves it took FIVE hours, but I got it all. Reapers and having to do things or the relic getting stuck in rowboat still an issue. Glad I could do it solo though.

  • lpking2005 Paul King (@lpking2005) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How long are the servers down for?

  • Nintyuk Nintyuk(Andrew Taylor) (@Nintyuk) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Genuine Question at the Dev's, Will you fix the Broken merchant stuff that are not possible if Golden sands isn't restored?

  • Graymarrow Gray (@Graymarrow) reported

    Never mind who wins the event @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I want a ferryman pack in compensation for my ears - that audio glitch caused me physical pain

  • OptixGames OptixGames (@OptixGames) reported

    @flea_games @SeaOfThieves I love that they are getting new content out regularly, but I wouldn't mind missing some new content to fix all the issues

  • TheAvoCouple Avo (@TheAvoCouple) reported

    @natefizzle8675 @SeaOfThieves I’ve had to tell about 60 people now nothing against you personally of course, but I’m not upset we lost. I’m upset that both sides used exploits and merricks exploits were much more efficient allowing for unlimited *** crates and inflated points. Rare didnt fix it either.

  • peanutpirate_ Peanut Pirate 🥜 (@peanutpirate_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I feel bad for all of the Reaper’s who tried very hard… That’s why I didn’t play at all lol. Boring thing and the outcome was inevitable. The devs can’t even fix or find the exploits before they release it.

  • BraavosOf Sealord of Braavos (@BraavosOf) reported

    @SgtDangerCow @LordWhisperr @SeaOfThieves Exactly. I have some emotional attachment issues with Golden Sands, but the convenience factor can’t be discounted either.

  • CPTNoxNex Captain NoxNex ☠️ | NoxNex 🇺🇦 (@CPTNoxNex) reported

    @Bear_Festival @SeaOfThieves I guess it's a toxic player issue then

  • Uniquetivity86 Sinfluential (@Uniquetivity86) reported

    @theShrillMarmot @Er0or2 @SeaOfThieves Sea of thieves is needing to have at least 50 to 150 Mbps .. anything less it's unplayable I've played many games with my buddy who lives in the countryside. It is very problematic when there game is lagging and it's all due to the lack of wifi and optic support.

  • sportykid_2 Sean (@sportykid_2) reported

    @ZackAmor1 @Graybeardsftw12 @SeaOfThieves It's hilarious everyone thinks they know better than someone who is telling you only one thing and one thing only. Rare fixed the outcome why are you so salty about that obvious statement? I never said I had an issue with it outside of the charade of a competition

  • diskittysonfire DisKittysOnFire Gaming (@diskittysonfire) reported

    ATTENTION ALL REAPERS: This is a public service announcement! Please stop running away and making a bad name for the true pvp players that get disrespected constantly by the @SeaOfThieves community! Turn your ship around and fight! #reapers #runtothefight

  • XilkyKarr Xilky (@XilkyKarr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Exploits ruin events like this where the choice is put in the players hands. GG's to all.. but please.... fix exploits!

  • ScaryJerry_TTV Scary Jerry Gaming (@ScaryJerry_TTV) reported

    The Crew of The Broken Blunderbuss stands tall with Merrick and have their fingers crossed that we #SaveGoldenSands @SeaOfThieves

  • Kovah18 Kovah (@Kovah18) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThievesHQ Bring back arena, the normal lobbies of sot are now ruined by these pvp chads from arena, you can no longer play the game normally. they just spawn camp your boat while bucketing to keep killing you over and over because arena is gone, fix this.

  • gd_renatozd GD Renatozd🐝 (@gd_renatozd) reported

    @SeaOfThieves We have to check the broken rowboats across the SoT to light them up with the Fallen Sea Dog Lantern and reveal messages, thats what I think we have to do
