  @MurpheyLives @SeaOfThieves @Rare_Gamer This is the worst possible statement you could make. "Clear his name"??? It is OVER. There is nothing to clear. The best you could've done is apologizing for your poor judgment, but considering you were part of that disgusting joke a year ago, I guess you regret nothing. It's not a problem that people like that lose the community. The problem is that they did NOT lose it for the first obvious signs. Goodbye.

  @SeaOfThieves Guys,but you really can't just end an event three days early because you released it in a broken state .You promise to restore the game to its former glory and I do see plenty of improvements, really a lot but I can't accept a mode that was already out coming back with issues.

  @SeaOfThieves Player that has played since day 1 here,✋ Horrible experience. Hopped back to test the event and new doubloon system. Doubloons not coming through, servers lagging like hell on last ship standing (ships flying, long waiting time...) Please, I love the game, fix something🙏

  @SeaOfThieves Any update on why the Xbox servers have severe lag every-time anyone plays ? Or gonna keep pretending it isn’t a thing 👏🏻

  Players report under the official post that the challenges are not visible AGAIN! Allegedly already fixed and tested, and again failed on live. Typical? Let me know if you encountered the issue and on what platform! #seaofthieves #bemorepirate #belessabsurd

  @Jumper92PL @SeaOfThieves Hi there. Support tickets are the best way to contact our Support team as they have the ability to review your information and account info. If you tried raising a ticket earlier and experienced an issue where the submit button wasn't functioning, that should now be fixed. Cheers.

  @ManVsMiniatures @SeaOfThieves Its written by their legal team not rare. They know how to phrase stuff without getting into more trouble. While I do agree, law wise their respond is sadly the only correct way.

  @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves This is so bad. Almost as bad as when I was attacked for giving feedback in Alpha when the rainbow flag was put in the game. I thought it would cause issues for a game I loved, and it has. (That was a private forum) Yet it was shared all over Twitter and I was attacked brutally.

  @SeaOfThieves Gonna be honest here, I ******* hate what you did with the doubloons. I didnt get to play the last weekenders so Im drastically behind because you decided to add fomo to it all. Im a die hard fan and even Im having trouble turning the game on.

  @oGrimz @SeaOfThieves Id rather they run events consistently over the next few months and just fix issues during that time. Still gives us things to do

  My last LSS match had 2 airborne boats & one that never surfaced. Emerging from under water looks cool, but seems to cause more issues in this game mode. @SeaOfThieves #SeaOfThieves

  @SeaOfThieves @XBOX Can you guys fix your connection issues in last ship standing.

  ꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reported 42 minutes ago

  Last ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 40+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep playing. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

  We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well. And it doesn't matter if you write to Microsoft HR or the Board or anyone else. Your email gets dumped in the trash. Your voice doesn't matter. CMs for video games can do whatever they want apparently and silence their community. If only you knew how bad it is over here. We feel your pain, though. As a consumer, we aren't allowed to have an opinion or voice them.

  AboutSelphy (@AboutSelphy) reported 55 minutes ago

  Some @SeaOfThieves viewers/streamers really need a reality check on what cheating actually looks like. Watched a streamer get sniped 3x in an hour today. The fights were suspicious (insane air shots, constant mid-air hits, etc.), but the chat was screaming "cheater" for things that were easily debunked. Ladder speeds were normal on VOD, and "insta-kills" were just players not being full HP. It’s easy to lose cool live, but we have to analyze before we accuse. Grateful the streamer kept a level head. The REAL issue? Public sites still exist that track specific players and server ship counts. How is this still live after a months? Cloudflare should be handing over data for a lawsuit at this point. Hoping this reaches the right eyes. @ChappersChapman @S0nicbob

  @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

  @EqualTree3 @SeaOfThieves Their event last week, the pop up plunder..... Didn't even work. So extending, or retrying is futile. They have no clue what they're doing. That's a fact. No amount of extending will fix it.
