    Does anybody else have server problems when playing the 4th Tall Tale? Me and my lads were trying to play it and the server shut down twice. In general the game seems to be very buggy right now. @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves #APiratesLife

  • Movat3 Movat (@Movat3) reported

  • MrJin9les Mr. Jingles (@MrJin9les) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Spent the whole day doing Vaults for the game to glitch me and my crew off the ship, and delete all chests the game has been nothing but bugged since the new update, not just the tall tales but the whole game

  • tyler_wenrich Tyler Wenrich (@tyler_wenrich) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Does it fix the 3rd checkpoint for sunken pearl? Useless to have a checkpoint that doesn't teleport you back into the room

  • baban183Q +*4~7~0~0*+ (@baban183Q) reported

    @Xbox @SeaOfThieves @Xbox please fix Microsoft Rewards app on xbox

  • wainstock wainstock 🇬🇧 (@wainstock) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’ve never experienced issues in SOT but TT2 pirates life with the black Pearl is really buggy with not letting you progress. I had to server jump to do it again, I progressed further then it bugged on the big door after pearl, another pirate was doing it…

  • BoomStarfurry15 SithLordStar (@BoomStarfurry15) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The servers are so glitchy! I can't even begin any voyages because it keeps lagging and kicking me off the servers!

  • Tenac1ousGrace Grace (@Tenac1ousGrace) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hope this fixes the Sunken Pearl bugs. 3 days of attempting this tall tale only to have it glitch out each time in different spots is very discouraging to say the least.

  • ashyra_ ashyra-PP- (@ashyra_) reported

    @Pirate67591809 @jc69420lol @SeaOfThieves No, it’s an actual issue.

  • Tak225Th TAK THE CONSOLE GAMER (@Tak225Th) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves 2nd night in a row and your ****** 2nd tall tale on pirate life glitches again cant proceed to boss battle because there no key what a load of **** fix your game

  • craniodad 💀 Cranio Dad 💀 (@craniodad) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Sooooo many comments STILL waiting for an ADS fix...... yikes.......

  • elle_norn_iron Laura Diamond (@elle_norn_iron) reported

    @SeaOfThieves captain of the damned tall tale. At the Fort the ghost captain disappeared before I killed him and now I can't progress any further. Is this a known glitch and is there a fix?

  • MrsJingles1 Mrs. Jingles (@MrsJingles1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves we've just spent the whole day trying to do an ashen vault, just for the game to glitch us all off our ship and making all the chests disappear as well. really really frustrating.

  • ustunab ً (@ustunab) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please give us offline option or fix the toxic community.

  • JohnnyHallowed xXJohnnyHalloweenXx (@JohnnyHallowed) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hope you fix the achev bug for all tall tale complete for xbox it stops at 99% for a pirate life for me.

  • OverlordFox Overlordfox (@OverlordFox) reported

    @SeaOfThieves can you PLEASE FIX YOUR UPDATES? trying to do the sparrow storyline and it keeps glitches, and can't do anything. Stuck on tale 2 because the boss fight doesn't show up

  • ___Clueless___ Kelsie Sanders☆ (@___Clueless___) reported

    @tehA7MAN @SeaOfThieves 100% agree with you there. It's ridiculous, if it's not the toxic people griefing you, it's the puzzles already being done & messing up because of it or the game just bugging out in general! Far too many problems with this one. Yes, hopefully!

  • DoodRun Doodrun (@DoodRun) reported

    @Whirly39468160 And here I thought @SeaOfThieves teaming up with @Disney would've forced them to fix that **** >.>

  • BoiBitty Bitty Boi (@BoiBitty) reported

    @Cmd89798734 @SeaOfThieves What do you think a hot fix is

  • MoneyMakinMoik Mike (@MoneyMakinMoik) reported

    @BeefBabesBeer @SeaOfThieves I had issues with the 2nd and 4 one. 2nd one took me like 5 tries in order to complete all commendations. Luckily didn't have any trolls, but the Tall tales definitely should have been fully instanced.

  • ailish_oconnor Ailish O'Connor (@ailish_oconnor) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd the Pirates of the Caribbean story is broken again. Won't let us do anything after beating the cracken by the Silver Blade
