    @SeaOfThieves * Emissaries passing into a Tunnel of the Damned will once again drop a Broken Emissary Flag in the water upon leaving the server. uh you killed server hopping with R-5? :( was kinda the best in the game....

  • AmonHuel MrKappaRhyno (@AmonHuel) reported

  • Brandon0sh Brandon0sh (@Brandon0sh) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey you guys seem to have forgotten that if you disconnect from the game, your ship is no longer captained and can't be re-registered to the captain. meaning you have to resupply every time your server drops us off.

  • I8albert ً (@I8albert) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Awesome. How much time think you will need to fix discontinued achievements?

  • ChiefsBack117 Chief (@ChiefsBack117) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @klobrille Broken link

  • ThorIronside Thor Ironside (@ThorIronside) reported

    @SeaOfThieves anyone else getting a lavanderbeard error? wont let me in the server. im seeing people get in, so its weird.

  • JitJoel JThomas (@JitJoel) reported

    @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Or you could just... Play the game? With PvE servers, the open server would only be used by the hardcore PvP players which would only make the problem worse and segregate the community. PvE servers in SOT is like a flight mode in mario. It defies the point of the game.

    @Y0URHNDYMAN @SeaOfThieves Maintenance has finished but they have encountered problems with matchmaking

  • tyrasaurusix tyra (@tyrasaurusix) reported

    @smiddlehurst @SeaOfThieves i was planning to name my ship "tipsy tragedy" for weeks. no special characters or stuff like that. and i really don't see what the problem with that name is when people can name their monkeys stuff like "your ugly mom" or "a child hostage".

  • MedicMike14 Medic McLen (@MedicMike14) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Purple Banana... Eh, no thank you. I am also doing a ship naming service. I just need a small down payment of pineapples first...

  • JustinHesson2 Justin Hesson (@JustinHesson2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else having issues with the logbook not tracking total progress for the ship or my pirate? Still says I haven’t completed any voyages or earned any gold even though my crew has been sailing since the update went live.

  • mrdanemmerson Dan (@mrdanemmerson) reported

    @SeaOfThieves 404 error on the link you provided?

  • TomTaft Tom (@TomTaft) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Just tried to name my ship “strippers booty” and was told the name is unsuitable. This is a travesty… please fix lol

  • firevexx11 Alfred Pennyworth (@firevexx11) reported

    @smiddlehurst @SeaOfThieves Same issue happening here! Bought a Galley named it "the booty wrangler" and thought maybe booty was profanity? Bought a sloop and named it "the Smokin' Sloop" and the same thing. I'm mostly upset bc I wanna watch the pirate lord create MY named ship.

  • xtwiztidjayx X TwiZtiD Jay X (@xtwiztidjayx) reported

  • TheRealBilmo Bilmo (@TheRealBilmo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves your naming system is clearly broken. Fix it so I can name my ship so I can play this game please. If I can't get my name then there's no point.
