    @MurpheyLives @SeaOfThieves @Rare_Gamer Not calling Murphey a **** btw nor am i gonna say he isnt. But when you clearly knew where **** was going, you are part of the problem expecially in a space where you have kids in.

    Let’s be real for one minute here. Putting hourglass in SEPARATE SERVERS is one of the easiest solutions to Sea of Thieves’ biggest problems: dead servers. By making this one change, alongside the removal of diving and raid voyages, players can guarantee that a ship they see at the start of a session will still be there even 20 minutes later, unless someone or something gets to them first. As of right now, if I were to join a server, see a Reaper, buy supplies, and go to hunt them down, there is an insanely high chance that said Reaper (or Guild) will be GONE by the time you start sailing. That’s just ridiculous. Get rid of diving, and separate hourglass from the main adventure servers, and see how it improves the livelihood of the seas. #savetheseas #seaofthieves #bemorepirate

    @aDreamingNomad @SeaOfThieves Even if you encounter it on retail server sometime u won t unlock the commendation, we already see some case while a cheater came and answer from support is … we can t unlock the commendation… so I don t see any issue to have it on custom server…

    Huge W’s for SoT today, diving took out what was so special about this game’s experience. Pretty sure this game is marketed as a “shared world experience”. It is kind of insane how many people are complaining about this; ya’ll are the problem! #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate

    @ChampExxotic @Captain_Falcore @SeaOfThieves This never was a problem because when a server dies you get merged. That's how we used to "dive" to new servers at reaper 5. Sure it was slower and less in our control. But the consequence of someone raising the Reaper's Bones emissary was way greater for the server.

    @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I barely play 1 day a week now down from 4. The game is great, but the studio’s actions are unacceptable. Protecting a predator, ignoring red flags, and silencing creators who spoke up is a horrific look for Rare. A corporate PR statement won't fix this. We need real answers. (i hope they will do something besides "We missed the mark)"

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support @SoTCommunity i just wanna say to all the people reposting and spreading this thank you so much i can only imagine how many other players recieved false bans and automated support messages i just hope they fix whatever bug this is so it doesnt happen to anyone else

    @2old4stream @SeaOfThieves I don’t think it’s a lack of content that’s the issue. But I do think perhaps if they’d left their game alone to focus on performance and SoT 2 long ago we’d be in a better position.

    @xxMUSHI @5623CieraRaciel @SeaOfThieves ******** you mean "story"? Also the two game modes you talk about, one is PVP, and the other doesn't allow more than one ship on a server at a time, which again, was the crux of my issue. Also, literally none of that actually addressed anything I said.

  • J0XINZ

    It seems that #SeaOfThieves is bugged if you have more then one pirate. It keeps giving the wrong ships to different pirates. My 3rd has my guild ships, my 2nd has my 3rds ship, and my 1st has nothing. I don't know what caused this issue but I hope it can get solved.

    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.

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves The emporium seems to not work as well as RARE would like to, given that they are restructuring it into a Fortnite like shop that swaps out cosmetics now and then (which is dumb as heck). But the real issue many won't spend money is because many sets look absolutely out of place

    @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.

    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

    Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported

    @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves That is what I mean by "not saying they are doing it correctly". First thing they should've done would've been put the people in question on leave until issues are pointed out. But then again, it's not the fault of most of the company. It's the fault of PR and also HR.

    Damn, this #sotshot copying thing is a real epidemic huh? They hide behind the "there is no rule against it" and "people have the same ideas" quotes as well as the "I didn't see that shot" while later their dms are exposed of them thinking they have more SoT Clout than the original so it's fine. Can @SeaOfThieves just start making note of these people and groups who copy and steal? The community has plenty enough issues as it is already. BTW, attached is the original SotShot (from 3 weeks ago), and I hope the original creator reposts this shot and it rightfully wins over the copy this time if the judges find it fits the theme.

    @MurpheyLives @SeaOfThieves @Rare_Gamer This is the worst possible statement you could make. "Clear his name"??? It is OVER. There is nothing to clear. The best you could've done is apologizing for your poor judgment, but considering you were part of that disgusting joke a year ago, I guess you regret nothing. It's not a problem that people like that lose the community. The problem is that they did NOT lose it for the first obvious signs. Goodbye.

    @shanksy32 @SeaOfThieves Bonecalles were essentially a win button on solo sloopers and a huge problem on duo sloop. This has nothing to do with skill issue, they were just unbalanced, especially if you don't like playing the sword.

    @Valor_Omega_SoT @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves In a way, I don't want to trust this particular team again. It's a huge letdown and disappointment especially being on the Stream Team and seeing how things "get done." They've dragged *** on too many things and now it's about being honest, open and direct about a serious issue.
