    @NetterMr @SeaOfThieves People should spam that question. If you provide a service, you should tell people when you provide. Simple marketing.

  • hensolo1981 hensolo1981 (@hensolo1981) reported

    @JJayB_6 @SeaOfThieves I've had the series x since December last year and it's never crash on any game. Are you sure it's not the console?

  • ricklyn17 Ricklyn (@ricklyn17) reported

    @SeaOfThieves sort yeah servers out i just did the shores of gold amd u shut the servers down i want my shores of gold skull back

  • Cosmycal Samuel Navarro (@Cosmycal) reported

    @JJayB_6 @SeaOfThieves Depending on the crash the console turns off itself, doesn't necessarily mean a hardware malfunction.

  • NerdPropellant NerdPropellant (@NerdPropellant) reported

    @RealMrBadaBing @Capt_Logun @SeaOfThieves It might be neat to let players choose where on the ship to re-spawn. Might mitigate some issues potentially by giving players a small amount of choice and hopefully even things out slightly.

    @solarlunar34 @Skellyb19106022 @SeaOfThieves It’s the fix for hit reg, it will never be opened

    @SeaOfThieves Fix bugs plz

  • Gregoms23 greg (@Gregoms23) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You should make really make these announcements available when you start the game. We just raided Fort of Fortune and lost all the loot. A 15 minute in- game warning is not enough for people who don't follow #SeaOfThieves twitter. Please fix this!! #fixseaofthieves

  • noob76052507 oxynatOr (@noob76052507) reported

    @starplatinic @SeaOfThieves hunting animal? doing cargo? the only that bring in is the lost-ships... and they are broken... no ship wreak at the end. so ppl do the vauls because its dang easy.

  • Mr_Poodoo Mr Poodoo (@Mr_Poodoo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can we get another stab at last weeks Twitch rewards since there were so many issues with logging in, linking, etc.?

  • HencoEnco schnii (@HencoEnco) reported

    @jonathanlcyr121 @mooksix @SeaOfThieves Are the servers down for you aswell?

  • Snuggy41943599 Snuggy (@Snuggy41943599) reported

    @badcompanyback @youruncleshouse @SeaOfThieves I’m just trying to give a fair point as to why their complaint is dumb. Got a problem with that?

  • earth_pony_Cold 💚Goblin Queen💚 (@earth_pony_Cold) reported

    @BeanoWild @SeaOfThieves mh, it worked for me. sorry, it really pisses me off you cant get to play this, its some fine unwind time game. hope you get a fix soon

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

    @SeaOfThieves I have a suggestion to fix 2 problems at once. There are a lot of level 5 commendations that don't unlock anything. All the new cosmetics are going to the pirate emporium. I think there should be a way to unlock PE stuff in game. ie LVL 5 commendations. Reward Vets

  • blacknight2k Jonathan Elmore (@blacknight2k) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the legendary crate commendation under Athena so I can buy my ghost wheel please. Was so excited to buy when I sold 50 Athena kegs then realize my legendary crate commendation was glitched.

  • xebsrayx ebsray (@xebsrayx) reported

    Anyone else have trouble with the #SeaOfThieves combat or just me.. or do I just need to get better 🥴

  • HeyDaddyPanda AmazingPandx (@HeyDaddyPanda) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the glitch where players can go inside ships wall and avoid getting killed and players are abusing it.

  • ne1knowaffle Russell (@ne1knowaffle) reported

    @clifd0g @SeaOfThieves The language used is the problem not the gameplay, your not paying attention.

  • unknown39141 unknown3914 (@unknown39141) reported

    @SeaOfThieves if youre gonna take servers down for maintenance and not warn people in game then atleast fix hitreg

  • LiveSimmy SimmyDizzle (@LiveSimmy) reported

    @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Nah, PVP is fine, its the griefing that isn't. Camping island outposts, or waiting around skele islands waiting for people to come, just so they can sink a ship and yield absolutely nothing. These are problems. They need to add a PVE only mode for casuals and kids.

  • Mr_Poodoo Mr Poodoo (@Mr_Poodoo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves - Can we get another stab at last weeks Twitch rewards since there were so many issues with logging in, linking, etc.?

  • Brandon96773655 Brandoncc (@Brandon96773655) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so sailing along, then suddenly out of no where, ship stops and sinks, I'm done playing the game until this glitch is fixed!

  • Ipro_Matrx Just Bamby (@Ipro_Matrx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves just fix high ping and lag from last 4 update

  • GameGrave69 Game Grave (@GameGrave69) reported

    I think a good option to fix the PvP vs PvE player debate for @SeaOfThieves is to install a GTA 5 style change between a PvE storyline driven game and then when players are comfortable they can move to the PvP online server #SoTpodcast #gaming #GTAOnline

  • Si1entWolf26 狼 Wolf 狼 (@Si1entWolf26) reported

    @Spuunj @Noobface @SeaOfThieves Its literally been under "Known Issues" in ever patch notes for the past year now. They refuse to fix it at this point and are not listening to the community.

  • LiveSimmy SimmyDizzle (@LiveSimmy) reported

    @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves It sure is, resorting to insults though is limp **** attitude, get that checked mate. With that said, loading into the game and having your ship already sinking is an issue. Also, kids play it, and they just want the story, and skele ships, not PVP. Think before trash talking.

  • LiveSimmy SimmyDizzle (@LiveSimmy) reported

    @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves I have 4 kids. Its not a salty excuse, they want to do tall tales, not fight other people. I personally enjoy the game, but I can see the issues with it as well. Options wouldn't hurt the game, but would embolden it to younger generations who aren't interested in PvP.
