  • MaathVal Math¹ (@MaathVal) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Crocs how about u fix your servers and game before doing this???

  • Disengag3d Disengag3d (@Disengag3d) reported

    @kev3man @Slimey_Pigeon @SeaOfThieves It’s still for the small streamers that did benefit last year aren’t going to. It’s ******* ridiculous and disgusting Rare are locking this behind partners. I got no issue with partners. I got an issue of the stupid decisions rare are making.

  • Slimey_Pigeon Slimey Pigeon (@Slimey_Pigeon) reported

    @xB0NAx @Noobface @SeaOfThieves I am not blaming the other side, I am blaming Rare. I have no issue with content creators branching to other games - I am trying some variety every now and again as well. It should be for everyone, and indicating that not helping those who stayed to stream SoT is a bit off.

  • HitboTC HitboTC (@HitboTC) reported

    @ToxieSinclaire @SeaOfThieves He can feel whatever he wants. The issue I took with his post is for the shaming of other creators for taking a break during the lowest viewership and player count in the game history.

  • Kokokatten Kokokatten (@Kokokatten) reported

    @Giovann69642526 @SeaOfThieves @GlobalGiftFound Not gonna be 14th cause it’s always Thursday.. so 11th or 4th (would be ideal but kinda already bit late to announce) or 18th and all the bugs will be waiting till mid Jan for a fix.

  • Breaksaw21 Breaksaw21 (@Breaksaw21) reported

    @XboxSupport yall have the worst support! I only use my account on my pc to play @SeaOfThieves and I haven’t been able to get into my account for over a year now! Got new parts for my pc, got logged out, and because I got a new number I can’t login. And yall won’t let me recover!

  • FOXD11E Foxdie (@FOXD11E) reported

    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves Sot is a sinking ship it doesn’t know whether it’s coming or going. It builds update based on things that they think people want but was never asked for. Long forgotten issues buried with cosmetics and broken promises.

  • Menacingbe67473 🇬🇧Menacingbee 🇬🇧🇩🇪 (@Menacingbe67473) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Could you please remove the Old brinestone fortress the lag is horrible

  • Slimey_Pigeon Slimey Pigeon (@Slimey_Pigeon) reported

    @xB0NAx @SeaOfThieves Agreed. That's not my problem per say. If they need to make ends meet, that's fine. It's that they're rewarding those who will leave near instantly once it's over instead of trying to bolster those who remain.

  • HitboTC HitboTC (@HitboTC) reported

    @Slimey_Pigeon @SeaOfThieves Stream team gets exclusive cosmetics that are only for them. Partners don’t have access to that. Your point specifically is calling out partners for taking a break from SoT during S17 for Arc Raiders. Shaming them for taking a break for a new game that has taken over the gaming world by force. I would have been totally fine with having the support-a-streamer be the same thing like it was last year. The issue I have with your statement is the nonsense of shaming people for playing another game.

  • S0nicbob Drew Stevens (@S0nicbob) reported

    Our recent updates addressed some of our biggest Hot Topic issues like water desync, stuck black screens, shipwright restoring and missing ship names to name a few. What bugs are affecting you most in #SeaofThieves and feel we should be prioritising? (Bugs only please!)

  • Salty_Drunkard SaltyDrunkard (@Salty_Drunkard) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I really hope they fix the reputation amounts. Sucks losing a 45 min fight for the same amount of rep I would get if I lost in 1 minute.

  • Konsti78787 Konsti787 (@Konsti78787) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why can somebody thirdparty my hourglass match fix your ******* games

  • zbljong Špljonk (@zbljong) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Finally honestly acknowledging the loss of popularity. Cudos for that. But sadly, it seems you are still on a wrong track with cosmetic fix of the wrong gameplay. Nothing mentioned in update assures me game will get better, while you are digging yourself deeper in complexity.

  • gosfather Gosfather (@gosfather) reported

    @SpinalCrush @SeaOfThieves I have no issue with partner exclusivity , but this is not it. Just reinstate the old alternate drops schedule.

  • xB0NAx B0NA (@xB0NAx) reported

    @Slimey_Pigeon @SeaOfThieves Sorry, I understand your frustration, but what's the problem with leaving a game for a better one, even if you're a partner? Game state sucks, and people rely on Twitch's monthly revenue. If no one watches SoT, it's more than fair to move on to something more fun and profitable.

  • gosfather Gosfather (@gosfather) reported

    @ToxieSinclaire @SeaOfThieves Appreciate you Toxie, tbh I had no issue with the old partner/everyone drops rotation. This seems so ill conceived and really demotivating. I believe even the Next Wave peeps are excluded which is crazy.

    @SeaOfThieves last season i did all the deeds. progress said 29/30 so i asked around if it was common issue. no response from anyone. new season and still dont have my title. thank you rare. thank you for nothing.

  • HitboTC HitboTC (@HitboTC) reported

    @CapnKrakenOg @SeaOfThieves Achieving partner in sea of thieves is incredibly difficult to do. Your message basically devalues all of the incredible creators who have worked hard and achieved something that few have been able to. Which is a crazy take. I would also add there are many up and coming creators that definitely deserve to be among the ranks of partner. My issue with the original message from Pigeon is the shaming of creators for taking a break from Sea of Thieves for another game. While waiting for Season 18 to drop which was delayed by a month. The meme implies that these creators would only come back because “support-a-streamer” and rare shouldn’t reward creators for leaving Sea of Thieves while others have continued to stream in the category. Pigeon is essentially discrediting those partners who have streamed thousands of hours for years and making the claim that they are only coming back because “money”. My issue with Pigeon’s take is the shaming another creator for taking a break from a game they love and playing a new game. If I read the original message I don’t even think he is advocating for everyone to get support-a-streamer. He is just advocating for the stream team to be added to the list. I’ve been a long time advocate for removal of partner drops and going all in on everyone drops. I’ve said it at this point for years. I believe firmly that a rising tide raises all ships.

  • HitboTC HitboTC (@HitboTC) reported

    @SkeleCurseIRL @SeaOfThieves Again… my point is not about the rewards it’s about shaming other creators that I take issue with. I’ve been a long time advocate for everyone drops and believe that rising tides raise all ships.

  • HitboTC HitboTC (@HitboTC) reported

    @MegoHeals @SeaOfThieves Literally not my point. I don’t care about the rewards. I take issue with the shaming of other creators.

  • RevBombRR RevBombRR Official (@RevBombRR) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the bug the prevents you from use the ammo box on an enemy ship. Please also fix ALL of the mermaid bugs where your merm sticks around even if you're on a boat.

  • Boogsington1 Boogsington (@Boogsington1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves can we please fix the mast bug, Its showing its raised when its not, can't interact with anything on other peoples boats. It is getting increasingly frustrating.

  • Slimey_Pigeon Slimey Pigeon (@Slimey_Pigeon) reported

    @Scoutguy626 @SeaOfThieves Thats my main problem to be honest, it feels like a kick in the teeth. The category is suffering, and instead of encouraging/help new faces who will likely stick with sot, they're trying to bring back old faces who'll leave once its over.

  • WeaponX_03 Gamer Dad (@WeaponX_03) reported

    @AllHeart0Brain @SeaOfThieves Yeah, it’s a bit upsetting. I’ve been playing since the beginning and it’s definitely not the same game. That said, Rare has fewer resources than they did previously and the entire core of the game is broken. Don’t expect much until there’s a SoT2, if it ever happens.

  • HitboTC HitboTC (@HitboTC) reported

    @The_Rifty @SeaOfThieves I believe this is correct. My issue is the shaming of partners. Basically discrediting the years of hard work they have put in to the game.

  • AmyGrrl78 AmyGrrl (@AmyGrrl78) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Except its bugging out for some Pirates. It pops up saying you've been awarded the Lantern. But you arn't actually given the Lantern. Restarted the game multiple times. Went back to Reapers Hideout and it still asks you to interact with the Orb, But it won't let you. Please Fix!

  • WazzaC92 Cpt Tifosi (@WazzaC92) reported

    @SeaOfThieves real shame about the twitch stream. Feel like the communication this year was poor. One little announcement on sot news and drops not working correctly throughout the event. A very backwards way of giving out rewards requiring people to stay awake for over 72 hours

  • DerMasterBob DerMasterBob (@DerMasterBob) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob Any news on the Merchant fix?
