    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves This is actually really sad to hear! Will always love Sea of Thieves, only reason I stopped playing is because I just can't commit the time it needs! Any sign of an update to fix it?

  • AA___2424 Andy Alvarez (@AA___2424) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Of course I would, and that’s the problem with this concept. PvPers will have nothing to do, reapers bones will be a nightmare to finish, and anything resembling a challenge to PvEers will be gone.

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @NoodleSot @SeaOfThieves I've put many a clip out on my time line in terms of bugs so I've been VERY specific when it comes to in game issues & it's a game I just can't endure for a while... there's so many issues with this game yet after putting a tonne of support tickets in (not just me)...

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @EXECUTEtheHATER @SeaOfThieves Yeah I agree, the fun factor is finda gone for me now... it's too frustrating as there's so much wrong with the game & they just don't fix anything. I'm sick of having to take Migraine tablets after coming off it lol

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @NoodleSot @SeaOfThieves These issues have been festering for longer than the lockdowm period! There's so much wrong with this game & has been for a long time but issues continue to get worse & nothing gets done about it! Take the latest QOL update for example, it did nothing for QOL & was crashing...

  • berkbig Sean Davies (@berkbig) reported

    @HappyKrakenX @SeaOfThieves As designed. Won't fix...

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @cogknocker @SeaOfThieves Its a real shame mate because it is a brilliant game but the games issues & the Devs lack of willing to take action is their biggest downfall! It's such a shame because it was once a really fun game but right now the fun has gone

  • MadHouseGameing The_Hatter (@MadHouseGameing) reported

    @Lorenz_Sinclair @SeaOfThieves Well good, cause I just got into the game, worst thing is to come into a live service game thats at the end of it's life

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @FlintlockAvery @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I stopped buying stuff because I was buying all the ship sets & everything for nothing. They don't fix anything

  • XboxMik29 Ⓜ️ik29🏴‍☠️ (@XboxMik29) reported

    @SeaOfThieves QoL patches? I'm still getting stuck on the Searching the Seas screen and loads of Hazelnut Beard errors whilst playing. 🤞🤞

  • SlashThread Stinky communist trash cat (@SlashThread) reported

    @SeaOfThieves "We're coming in hot!" "Anchor stop?" "........... um..... maybe? Maybe not...." *CRASH* "Naw we're good."

  • blackren101 Ren (@blackren101) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Please fix the invisible water glitch!

  • BillieRaePhoto Billie Rae (@BillieRaePhoto) reported

    @icklenellierose @SeaOfThieves Yeah so I discovered I had this same issue but with the security cams on self checkout at Asda.

  • FlintlockAvery Adrian Flintlock Avery (@FlintlockAvery) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves Yups my friend.its upsetting an sad.i havent sailed seriously ina year because they refuse to fix major issues an they are making Zero effort to add new enemies, maps, puzzles, mermaid settlements, cave systems, new modes for Arena, anything.. @RareLtd is more concerned with $$

  • Scott_Careyy Carey (@Scott_Careyy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm getting Lavenderbeard error. Any Fix?

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @Capren3 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Everyone is complaining about them mate... I don't understand how they're so bad. You can't do much without being lagged out of your mind. If you aren't getting thrown about the ship, you're getting thrown off it & people are lagging around really bad which makes it unplayable

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @gaming_4nj4 @EXECUTEtheHATER @SeaOfThieves If they actually fixed issues that would be absolutely fine! I stuck with the game from nesr the start when the "no content' phase happened & had a tonne of fun but right now the game is in a shocking state & it's desperate for TLC

  • WaTsNoTgUdD WaTs (@WaTsNoTgUdD) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Yeah at times. But I'm on xbox so I'm not sure if I experience the same problems as pc players

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Prestom16 @Demon5379 @SeaOfThieves Well part of your problem there is that I'm not complaining about pvp lol.

  • josemb21 jose (@josemb21) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @dlalastudios I can’t load into a private crew , it stays stuck on “searching the seas” , I can join open crew though. I know it was a problem in the past but I haven’t seen anything about this recently. Anyone have the same problem and know how to fix it ?

  • Psycho_Le5 PsychoLe5 🎮 (@Psycho_Le5) reported

    @BJepor @SeaOfThieves @dlalastudios Devs need to look into this problem. A lot of unhappy people, what's the solution?

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @CGallerine @SeaOfThieves Your problem is you come at me because you think i have a problem with being killed, or pvp in general, and I dont. I've been engaged in the pvevp nature of sot for 3 years, I've sunk and been sunk and killed and been killed. its not about that.

  • XboxMik29 Ⓜ️ik29🏴‍☠️ (@XboxMik29) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @dlalastudios @SoT_Support there seems to be alot of people in here that haven't received the cosmetics, myself included. Is there a known issue? Thanks. 👍

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @FlintlockAvery @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd It's not an ******* asking a Development team to fix bugs in game really... especially when they said we'd see more fixes & content when them Pirate Emporium came out 2 year ago yet here we are with a practically unplayable game

  • RodolphePottier Rodolphe Pottier (@RodolphePottier) reported

    @SeaOfThieves New bug = other players counter sword with a gun in hands, and I also experienced "hitreg" with sword lunch several time, fix you're game instead of selling cosmetic

  • EddieThe_Bear Eddie Kvammen (@EddieThe_Bear) reported

    @THESEAMOBBOSS @suchatilter @SeaOfThieves I don't notice this often enough to call it "It's really bad". But it's clear that a lot of people are having issues with it. But at this point, don't you agree that they're most likely VERY AWARE of it and are trying to fix it? If it was easy, it would already be done.

  • shaylikesstuff Shay (@shaylikesstuff) reported

    @SlooperSolo @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves This guy exemplifies the problem, but not in the way he thinks. The issue is less "there are people better than me in a pvp game" And more "the game has a lot of toxic people who live to ruin others day"

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @NoodleSot @SeaOfThieves You can but when they game gets to a point where bugs just hinder your game play the adventure & fun has vanished. Games in a shocking state & the Devs failed to acted upon the issues for a long time. I've sailed with many & many are leaving sadly because of the issues

  • AA___2424 Andy Alvarez (@AA___2424) reported

    @Demon5379 @SeaOfThieves There’s two solutions to that problem, deal with it or stop playing. There is PvP in this game so if you don’t like that, this clearly isn’t the game for you.

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @copper_viking @SeaOfThieves So many things, hit reg got a tonne worse, ADS bug got a tonne worse, a whole host of bugs & issues & not to top it off the servers are that unstable the lag is horrendous
