  • Rowan_slinky Rowan (@Rowan_slinky) reported

    @AlexL0519 @SeaOfThieves I ask because usually games have an eta on when servers will be back up what's your problem

  • jerboiaSOT Jerboia (@jerboiaSOT) reported

    Season 8 is the greatest update in SoT history. Already had so many memorable moments in the 3 hours I played. Only issue, please fix the infinite blackscreens. @SeaOfThieves

  • JuanFue22015354 Juancin Targaryen (@JuanFue22015354) reported

    @SeaOfThieves What can i do if i get the daffolibeard error?

  • CalypsoAegle CalypsoAegle (@CalypsoAegle) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Does this fix ships chasing me and my friend on a sloop catching up to us in 2 minutes and then following us for about an hour while we are only trying to do a quest. It’s unbalanced for pirates who just wanna quest and anybody who says otherwise obviously hasn’t been chased.

  • scerviche scerviche (@scerviche) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The pvp in this game is terrible with all of the hit reg, server lag, black screening, rubber banding, getting randomly one shotted by a blunder snipe, i could keep going. I have no idea how anyone can enjoy that when it works properly maybe 1 time out of 100, beyond terrible.

  • AlphaWolf1679 AlphaWolf (@AlphaWolf1679) reported

    @JamesOuroboros @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves Then this game will die one of the devs themself knows how **** this games pvp is and this update didnt help all it is going to so is be a bandaid fix if even that this game will always suffer because peaple will just bully pve players

  • MysticTrix91 MysticTrix (@MysticTrix91) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else keep having Alabasterbeard error ? No just me ?

  • charlyeML Шарлыe (@charlyeML) reported

    @SeaOfThieves we experienced respawning bug after losing battleship in matchmaking (2 times/3) one of our crew had unlimited loading, and the two others couldnt teleport via mermaid cause the ship didn't respawned. Had to leave and join game to fix it

  • HobeJoshua Joshua Hobé (@HobeJoshua) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The link is not working for me

  • BrendenStokkel1 MOB_xGAMERx (@BrendenStokkel1) reported

    Anyone else getting the glitch where you cant fire your ******* cannons in a battle in @SeaOfThieves?

  • pkane11384 Adam Fox’s Chin (@pkane11384) reported

    Another @SeaOfThieves update and more server and emporium issues. Never fails.

  • LordClopax Lord Clopax (@LordClopax) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can you please ban double-gunners ? It's broken as ****, it ruins everyone's game -.-

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @AlphaWolf1679 @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves Pvp does have have some issues, but im sorry to say, hitreg doesnt cause every loss, its a small part to do with it, but a lot of it boils down to skill still. Little timmy shooting his cannon shots a mile over big daves head is the clear reason why little timmy lost to big dave

  • GREENRA56347271 GREEN RANGER (@GREENRA56347271) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Lagging, freezing, black screen, rubberbanding, merm won’t take you back to your ship. Another broken update and another overrated season. Same broken mess. Free 2 play games play better than this. Game is embarrassing now.

  • Luck465666 HorrorPleb (@Luck465666) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Feels strange not seeing a self entitled SoT player not complain about how they spent hours grinding loot to suddenly disconnect due to server maintenance

  • xMLG_Drizzy Dave+ (@xMLG_Drizzy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support FIX YOUR DAMN GAME….LOOT JUST VANISHING OFF MY BOAT WITH NO TUCKERS

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @bootycup_ @JVASHDRAGONGRT @SeaOfThieves No, the one who looks pretty dumb, is the one who expects any major update in ANY live service game to NO bugs. Your entire point earlier was hitreg, even when i literally accepted hitreg was an issue, you ignored my points and basically responded basically with "but hitreg!"

  • AlphaWolf1679 AlphaWolf (@AlphaWolf1679) reported

    @SmithyBug @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves Theyr probably going to change their minds on this once this **** blows up in their face cause this update will not fix whats wrong with the pvp this games pvp is basicly are you more ppl than them? Yes then you win its not based on fair matches not even in this mode they added

  • SadBarnacleBoy Sad Barnacle Boy (@SadBarnacleBoy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Server stability is so bad. Game is lagging and freezing non stop. Same sea of bugs

  • CaptainFoxytrot Captain Charlie Foxtrot 🐀 (@CaptainFoxytrot) reported

    Are queue times high for #SeaOfThieves matchmaking for anyone else? The first match was almost instant, but the more you win it seems to go up a lot. I’m only at 2 wins solo and waiting 10+ minutes. Figured there be a lot on now and it wouldn’t be an issue.

  • chrishoulden86 chris (@chrishoulden86) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Well the hype for season 8 soon got ruined be **** tons of lag

  • illogicalJJ ill.og.gamer (@illogicalJJ) reported

    @SoT_Support how long are the servers down for during the update? #SeaOfThieves

  • CapnJPGIsHere Captain JPG (@CapnJPGIsHere) reported

    @Zyx_XBL @hardway_jones @SeaOfThieves No. The battle pass is free and it's your fault if you miss the rewards! It's not Rare's problem that you didn't spend time to level up. Maybe if you bought the plunderpass then maybe you should still be able to unlock the exclusive rewards to that plunderpass

  • xboxmoonknight xboxmoonknight 🇨🇦 (@xboxmoonknight) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Ship seems to be lagging when I launched this morning. stuttering with the waves and is bit jarring. Will try again later today.

  • JnrsaKruger Junior kruger (@JnrsaKruger) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else having a massive lag spike during a sea battle with the opposite faction? Everything runs smooth as usual but as soon as the proximity of the 2 ships gets close, i get a long delay where the game freezes. Makes it impossible to win 😒 and no, its not my connection..

  • Brandon16475830 Brandon kraft (@Brandon16475830) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Have my Xbox set to Xbox with controllers only yet I still get jumped on by PC player well doing factions broken af just lost my streak to some bull ****
