    @TheSneakyBeags @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I get ya! Done that long before I use to ram and board boat frag them all as I loaded loot on their boat problem was you could only do it twice in a row, as the 3rd time majority would quit, so I had to be fast. Ram and board in between loaded loot on their boat then sailed off

  • PhillHughesBoi Phill Hughes (@PhillHughesBoi) reported

    @egg_bertt @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves There, that right there is the problem! This is a sailing, adventure, pirate themed game WITH some pvp in it. And at the beginning, when ******* players were fairly scattered and barely as motivated to ruin my time. BUT Now the game has-

  • dog_briar Black dog briar (@dog_briar) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix the meg and the siren spawn rate. and stop shoving pve down my throat

  • PhillHughesBoi Phill Hughes (@PhillHughesBoi) reported

    @egg_bertt @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves The problem is that this game used to be my unrivalled favourite. This game got me through a depressive period by giving me something to sink countless hours into. But the addition of reapers has mad any attempt to play it impossible. Which is why I’m pissed.

  • TobiYukihoshi 𝕋𝕠𝕓𝕚𝕐𝕦𝕜𝕚𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕙𝕚 ✨💫⭐️ (@TobiYukihoshi) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves This is why me and the crew haven’t played lately. Please fix this so we can get back on the seas. 😢

  • NoahKel06918695 Noah Kelly (@NoahKel06918695) reported

    @FortheRepubli13 @neppyconica @SeaOfThieves Well, pvp is broken with the whole hitreg system. The “campaign” or pirates life gets old after completing it a couple times and then the whole update did not give us anything new or especially fun to do in the game for people who play the game allot since day 1.

  • AA___2424 Andy (@AA___2424) reported

    @fnlyyyy @SeaOfThieves Assuming you weren’t doing the checkpoint glitch, then yeah that’s a problem

  • FrostSchneider Liquid Raptor (@FrostSchneider) reported

    @SXero7 @SeaOfThieves @zureta_fya No no no, we don't need new mechanics that will surely add to list of existing broken mechanics Fix the game instead of adding stuff, that's what I think

  • Nxah22 Noah (@Nxah22) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why does hit reg happen so often especially in arena, how does it happen and why can't you fix it, genuine question.

  • sj460162 Stevie Bestcod (@sj460162) reported from Newport, England

    @SeaOfThieves Hopefully to sort out that terrible black screen repawn issue where you have to wait 4 years to re enter the game. And get rid of those game spoiling mermaids...its impossible to sneak up on a boat now...the sharks are ok but the mermaids are an overkill!

  • JoshHopper332 Joshua Hopper (@JoshHopper332) reported

    @BrometheusP @SeaOfThieves Every now and then there seems to be a delay. Generally I sign in the next day and get a random dump of gold into my account.

  • Seizvre Seizvre (@Seizvre) reported

    FIX YOUR ******* GAME @SeaOfThieves

  • LaughAlready123 Luis Espinoza (@LaughAlready123) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the game instead of adding new copyright material.

  • PepicWalrus PepicWalrus (@PepicWalrus) reported

    @C4pt4inF @HLariash @SeaOfThieves Issue with gambling actual coin against other players is that it makes a way to trade money and thus opens up a market for coin sellers. Buy gold, join a crew, and they bet the money and throw the game.

  • TPCo0Lz_G4m1nG Yeetus (@TPCo0Lz_G4m1nG) reported

    @SoT_Support I’m so glad there is NOT a passive mode option. I’m so glad somehow a BRIGADE CAUGHT up to my SLOOP. I saw the ship on the map and fled, YET they caught up. (Yes my sail was correct) Fix your ******* game. We don’t always want chased! #SeaOfThieves #garbage

  • PhillHughesBoi Phill Hughes (@PhillHughesBoi) reported

    @Hitbotc @egg_bertt @SeaOfThieves Thankyou! Normal players who ambush and take are annoying but I can at least live with that. It’s the MASSES UPON MASSES of people who seem to desire nothing other than hearing me be upset on mic. That’s my issue. Cause the reapers faction had rewards for that behaviour, too.

  • Atraplex_George Atraplex (@Atraplex_George) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You best not crash that ship

  • JSagagurl Joe SagaGurl (@JSagagurl) reported

    @lelkulet @Nxah22 @SeaOfThieves Or just fix hit registration......What are they even doing? Its been an issue since day 1

  • DaddyisSenpai Emilio Santana (@DaddyisSenpai) reported

    @SeaOfThieves the network servers needs to be fixed. Im constantly getting kicked out of the server and unable to join back for the rest of the day. I restarted my game, pc, and network and it does not fix the issue. Obsidianbeard, beanbeard and other error codes. I need help..

  • taternuggets Tater (@taternuggets) reported

    @JimboSplic @1Chenzo @SeaOfThieves Lightning is part of the game... A server crash or something might warrant a request, but not something that everyone has to deal with regularly. Leave the kegs off your boat if that is why you exploded.

  • mir4ges ᴅᴏᴍ (@mir4ges) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support any chance you guys could fix the skeleton bosses & normal skeletons from spawning in rock formations and being stuck in there causing voyages to be canceled and impossible to complete? :/ I know you guys are busy, just would be a nice fix (:

  • CPenguini CaptainPenguini (@CPenguini) reported

    @SeaOfThieves (continuation) You guys should spend more time trying to fix it instead of going,"Oh LeT's JuSt AdD mOrE sTuFf". Yes getting more new stuff is cool. But it adds so many more frustrations and glitches. Just spend more time trying to fix all your **** ffs.

  • bob316uk rob burr (@bob316uk) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm still having problems with sea of Thieves character as every time I start up my game she or he seems to be no clothes on it must be some kind of good pitch and I lost most of my why closed in closet and it ain't good enough for me when half stuff that I earned seem to go miss

  • CPenguini CaptainPenguini (@CPenguini) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Just sold ATLEAST 100k worth of athena loot and got literally nothing. Fix your trash *** game you stupid ******* idiots. I want to like this game sooooo bad but I can't when there is just so much to complain about. How about spending a season or 2 to fix this ****.

  • PepicWalrus PepicWalrus (@PepicWalrus) reported

    @fnlyyyy @SeaOfThieves Never had this issue, I'd open a support ticket.

  • kryptidcreative K R Y P T I Đ (@kryptidcreative) reported

    @SeaOfThieves That's how you crash a server

  • RachelParkerPix Rachel Parker (@RachelParkerPix) reported

    @cottonandcreme @SeaOfThieves Breaks are healthy and variety might be a good thing. Unfortunately they can’t crank out content faster than we can consume it. As for the portal hopping problem. It would be solved by removing emissary status when you go thru it.

  • Brisbane911 Brisbane91 (@Brisbane911) reported

    @BrometheusP @SeaOfThieves Had the same issue with 2 merchant missions and their hand ins. Am curious if it’s delayed or lost completely.

    @illuminattyvr @SeaOfThieves Imagine the lag.
