    @SeaOfThieves are the servers down today? We get stuck at “searching seas”

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @TylaGratton @SeaOfThieves sounds like skill issue to me

  • Boffin4gabs Michael Riddell (@Boffin4gabs) reported

    @SeaOfThieves make solo slooping more fun by turning down the knockback from cannonballs... countless times being sunk by galleons or brings, not because they're any good but because I get knocked off... fix it already, knocked off and end up in the water for 2 minutes!!! lame

  • sblom Scott Blomquist (@sblom) reported

    The arena lobby is so incredibly broken, @SeaOfThieves. 30 minutes and 3 lobby merges after I started waiting, I'm still waiting.

  • RawData77 rawData77 (@RawData77) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Azure PlayFab seems to be crashing... Pet costumes and even the SoT website is having issues when loading account reputation and such.

  • LJD_Millar L.J.D. Millar (@LJD_Millar) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Halo Trying to help my friend get it but can’t log in because of your bugged out lavenderbeard error for PC. PC PLAYERS SHOULDNT HAVE TO ENTER AND DELETE GAME FILES TO MAKE IT PLAYABLE!!!

  • stormisjesus 🌩 Stormandreas 🌩 (@stormisjesus) reported

    @SeaOfThieves That lag is PAINFUL to see.... my god....

  • ItsSimonBtw Simon (@ItsSimonBtw) reported

    @SeaOfThieves But did you fix hitreg?

  • 1Chenzo Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    @Thatblondguy26 @mynameisjt @SeaOfThieves No one would be steering if they're using that back cannon... I dunno. and again, I'm not too worried about it. A more devastating barrage is a ballast ball followed by a dance or sleep one... and then blunder shot to push you around... A bigger problem is the storage crate

  • CornatzerRhylon Tunedstardust (@CornatzerRhylon) reported

    @HLariash @SeaOfThieves fix it now

  • Big_Cheggers Big_Cheggers (@Big_Cheggers) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Can you fix commendation issues? I just turned in my last few Athena Chalices for the Relics and Chalices commendation so I could get the Ferry of the Damned cannons and it hasn't work. Please fix your goddamn game

  • Taaaaamas Taaamas (@Taaaaamas) reported

    @R2berry_ @SeaOfThieves @Halo Yes I know, but the times are the issue here, as there is mismatched information.

  • itsmelmao5 add (@itsmelmao5) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Not really broken easier for sweats and casuals. if you’re getting boarded and wiped you’ve already lost. Just less grieving if I wanna get ur food etc. you have a scuttle button if u wanna be petty and not give materials.

  • ShadowW65101157 ShadowWolf (@ShadowW65101157) reported

    @ForzaHorizon @SeaOfThieves @ForzaHorizon would be great on pc if the game didn't crash to desktop with an error code 0xc0000005. And when you go to get help from support they tell you just to go to microsoft cause it's not an "in-game" issue.

  • ScottishSo Not So Scottish (@ScottishSo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Halo Fix your ranked mode, 2 losses in a row because we spawn with a teammate missing.

  • MrReality50 Reality (@MrReality50) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves The timing lmao. I was just questioning if my game was broken.

  • LJD_Millar L.J.D. Millar (@LJD_Millar) reported

    @JoltGanda @SeaOfThieves @Halo Okay then you’re one of the lucky ones. None of my steam playing friends have been free of errors or problems. We have to mess with files or uninstall steam and spend 8 hours downloading it again.

  • Hellrazor2002 Hellrazor2002 (@Hellrazor2002) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Wheres_Bobo just have to sign in to get these

  • CaixistaFox Fox Caixista #SeasonFive 🦊💚 (@CaixistaFox) reported

    @elkee68 @lgriao @SeaOfThieves (I'm sorry if you have any errors, I'm Brazilian and I'm speaking through Google Translator)

  • Evin12466228 Evin (@Evin12466228) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hello i have a question when i press “start game” i got an theat Error “ The Sea Thieves Services are temporarily unavailable. Please try again.(Lavenderbeard) please i need help

  • miri_1001 miracle 🇩🇪 🚁📎 🖤 ⚔ #SaveTheOutpost (@miri_1001) reported

    @LJD_Millar @SeaOfThieves @Halo So apparently only PC players have problems to log in? I tried for hours yesterday, either it let me log in but lagged, or I didn't even make it that far and got bombarded with Lavender, Strawberry, Daffodil and what not, "server currently not available". Currently... smh

  • 1Chenzo Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    @Thatblondguy26 @mynameisjt @SeaOfThieves I’m having trouble following this, but I think I’ve got it. Your’e right it’ll be hard for the sloop to use cause of the steps and stuff… But... I dunno. 2 shots to the back and the rowboat is gone.

  • Ghurab49 Raven (@Ghurab49) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix hit reg

  • SMutation Saudi Mutation 👾 (@SMutation) reported

    @YooKaydw @SeaOfThieves @SumoCrafts The lag ruined it!!!!!

  • 1Chenzo Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    @Thatblondguy26 @mynameisjt @SeaOfThieves people are gonna be pissed when they go to fix their ship only to find out they've had all their planks stolen.

  • dQ_0b dQ_ob (@dQ_0b) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Having an issue resetting my controller to default. I press it and it doesn’t change back. Have to do it manually

  • BlackeyeThe2nd LJ (@BlackeyeThe2nd) reported

    @Fangeelnoises @Dragonflame1090 @SeaOfThieves Naw, I get it. I was talking to the other person. What WILL be a problem is tuckers and folks who swim 10 miles to board your ship. Unless you remain constantly watching (a.k.a. paranoia), one person hopping on your ship spells death because they'll take everything then sink you

  • Dodocateon Dodocateon (@Dodocateon) reported

    @oFATTONYo @SeaOfThieves Oooff, close! My crew and I had a few problems as we just play weekly and 2 of those times didn't count for progression due to some server problems. Since I never bought the plunder pass, may I ask you how many Ancient Coins you get from it? I know 250 are free.

  • Southwardfaun Southwardfaun (@Southwardfaun) reported

    @ActivistGamer @TylerGardner11 @SeaOfThieves If you can remove all of the wood from an enemy ship, they cannot repair. Then they sink. Do you understand the issue this new storage crate system could pose?

  • Thaysin1 Thaysin (@Thaysin1) reported

    @elkee68 @SeaOfThieves I think SoTs hope may actually be the opposite. If I learned anything from Minecraft (don’t laugh) it’s that storage creates load and lag on servers. If it’s easier for people to empty the storage crates, maybe people will stop hoarding so many of them and dump them to despawn.
