    @fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves I think Sea of Thieves has bigger problems right now than the engine it runs on

    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

    @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.

    @SeaOfThieves In June? Wow, it is very hard to earn enough. I don't have a problem in theory (capping at 3 is sensible to avoid the same problem the reset had to fix), but I don't agree with the items being temporary stock as a result. Doing everything and a few emergent chests, I have 1500.

    @shenanigoon @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I truly hope so. It's so disheartening to see everything that's happened. Nevermind the lack of trust from the current game issues, this happening has been a major black spot on this game/studio. I still have a sliver of hope left, but frankly I am not holding my breath.

    @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.

    @JayBlu45 @VoicemasterTV @SeaOfThieves Yeah because a Gally chasing a sloop around the sea for 45 minutes is soooooo fun. 4-6 vs 1 is not a skill issue, and get better or get lost is so childish it’s almost maddening!

    @CaptainQuaa @SeaOfThieves Sadly , Shrouded ghost is gatekeep beside a RNG game mechanic and Spawn timer mechanic. Rarity is not the trouble , but how meg spawn is the main issue ... Arround 1h45 to get a single meg .... and only 0.02 % of chance to get the great one.

    Custom Seas is going to be a lot of fun. It feels like it's been designed more with content creators in mind than the average player but I think most people will still get a good laugh out of it and create some memorable moments. The problem is that fun side content and seasonal content are not really the same thing. If this is supposed to help carry an entire Season alongside the occasional returning limited time event then it just is not enough by itself. Season 21 needs to land with some real weight behind it. Adventure Mode needs meaningful additions. New ships, new islands or even entirely new regions. Give players fresh reasons to explore the world and engage with the game in different ways. What we do not need is another couple of delivery missions wearing a fancy new outfit and pretending to be a major update. We have been sailing that particular route for quite a while now. #SeaOfThieves is at its best when it surprises people and gets the community genuinely excited to jump in and see what is new. It feels like it is time for that again. Anything less will mean terrible engagement.

    @FHCarSalesMan @SeaOfThieves true it will, but as content for a season?! that is my issue. :(

    @squidkiller8781 @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves well look, cheaters aren't really a big problem now. There were less of them than the actual number of bugs. They made them "grind" to be able to play Hourglass, so most risks their main profile in the process or completely given up on playing with those. (Yes on PC)

    The @SeaOfThieves doubloon fix is a mess. Players not reset were stuck at the 4k cap, unable to farm. Now you’re removing their items? At the next event, they’ll have to grind double: for the old items AND the new ones. Stop punishing us for your bugs! #SeaOfThieves

    @Lotus_Koril @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob Right after i posted my innitial tweet, i got dm from countless of people telling me more stuff about this whole problem. But they are afraid to speak out, bcs they are scared to be canceled, or to lose their boatswains, hats, gloves....

    @SeaOfThieves Please for the love of God, fix your buggy game. I've literally never experienced more game breaking bugs any other time than during bilgerats weekend.

    With everything going on in the SoT community right now, it’s been really disappointing to see certain creators and familiar faces either show their true colours or stay completely silent, It’s honestly horrible seeing how broken parts of this community really are. #SeaOfThieves

    @SeaOfThieves Unplayable due to the constant lag spikes every 30 seconds or so. I heard it’s because of the fireworks at the outposts?

    @TormentedTofu @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves "Correction: j0 and shirah have been deleting messages" this was a completely different CM. They CMs are rare employees and their actions reflect those of the company when doing business at work. The issue is larger than it seems despite attempts to minimize

    @hasmoq @SeaOfThieves Oh? That's crazy because I had this happen to me a few days ago, it's in my videos on twitch. I got the unstable connection notification and decided to log out and restart PC. Is this a way to know there are hackers? I've also encountered the Garrison dive glitch 1/2

    @AboutSelphy @SeaOfThieves Scum willing to use exploits and other avenues to disconnect players from the game need to be banned, regardless if the context is true or not.

    @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves No, you are right. None of us should be asking partners to stand down. I am allowed to choose whose content I want to support as a result. The problem is that these things have been going on for years at this point. It could have been prevented if Rare stepped in and stopped CM a long time ago. Rare is 100% accountable for who they have representing their game. CM are representatives. I ain't gonna force anyone to step down or take a stand, but if it appears that someone is trying to leverage a charity stream to boost their numbers and appear as a good person, for a charity that doesn't actively help OUR victims, I'm unfollowing them. If they are the least bit fake, I'm unfollowing. That's my choice and no ones gonna miss me around...so the decision is most likely mutual anyways. I absolutely do want to see a bigger push though and nothing is going to change without it. Hell, some streamers haven't mentioned it but they have been streaming other games lately...silently protesting already despite making a statement. Kudos to them.

    @WazzaC92 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Other players have to put time and effort into multiple event weekends, while many players used this bug/glitch to buy everything right away, so these players (apparently including you) DID take advantage of that.

    @SeaOfThieves To sum up: "WE ****** up the doubloons for some players, so to not punish them for an error on our side we removed the items from them" and "we hear your feedback, but we don't care" ...Like avoiding to publicly say sorry and the silence for the other things wasn't bad enough

    @crudmasterTV @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob Do you mean like a counter? 🤔 Honestly, I had no problem knowing how many ships were left because the arena shrank very quickly, so you could always see how many ships were in the area. The new arena isn't that big.
