    @haliax_l @SeaOfThieves No problem sir!🫡

  • JoysawSoT Joysaw (@JoysawSoT) reported

    @MutinousMel @SeaOfThieves Yeah I mean Skill Issue

  • MrFawlout Fiery Fawlout (@MrFawlout) reported

    @haliax_l @SeaOfThieves Try to do some damage back while bucketing and repairing ship, try to use fire/blunder bombs to throw them off, depending on situation leave mast for last. Usually they try for mast first so it's easy to catch and fix.

  • austinleefarmer Austinlee (@austinleefarmer) reported

    @SeaOfThieves alright Iv fought the same guy in pvp 5 times in a row and been sunk all 5 times. This game is so broken.

  • SadBarnacleBoy Sad Barnacle Boy (@SadBarnacleBoy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR BROKEN SERVERS! YOUR GAME IS GARBAGE!!

  • Bruhmoment167 BazelgeuseIsKindaHotNGL (@Bruhmoment167) reported

    @phantom_sailer @chiefchainshot @SeaOfThieves Ikr, it's rare to find it now, last time I saw it was in a invasion I jumped but we sank because of lag and bucket reg. Dw you'll find a TON on community day. I stole 5 Athenas in one go from an alliance server last time.

  • DMaxor1991 DarthMaxor (@DMaxor1991) reported

    Anybody else have the problem where they are getting to the champion streak status and then accidentally opting into fighting larger boats and not realising until you emerge from the water and there is a galleon ahead of you? No, just me? Okay. #seaofthieves

  • SadBarnacleBoy Sad Barnacle Boy (@SadBarnacleBoy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @LaTiaLoquita FIX YOUR BROKEN SERVERS! YOUR GAME IS GARBAGE!!

  • KayKatana IcedKatana (@KayKatana) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Should have pushed it back further because it is completely broken! A lot of us can't turn in anything to her!

  • MinkRoyal RoyalMink (@MinkRoyal) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support It seems that the fix is to delete all your captaincy voyages.

  • MinersWorld3 MinersWorld (@MinersWorld3) reported

    @SkivvyHoncho @ItzMino_ @SeaOfThieves Dude have -12 K/D ratio because of his skill issues so he insults better players.

  • fernand94577510 fernandoj (@fernand94577510) reported

    @SeaOfThieves What is wrong in this game with AMD, it gets crash while im playing all the time in low settings 60fps -.-

  • ghostboy20 Matthew 👻 (@ghostboy20) reported

    For anyone who can't buy supplies simple fix is to delete all voyages from your captain ship. Then you'll be able to buy supplies once again.... @SeaOfThieves might wanna look into fixing that in the future

  • SlimBiginz1 SlimBiginz (Chris) (@SlimBiginz1) reported

    @SkivvyHoncho @ItzMino_ @SeaOfThieves Da **** is your problem bro. Literally if this isnt something you like anymore take your bullshit elsewhere. We are here to celebrate a bro. Im sorry your parents failed to teach you to deal with your own personal failures but shitting on other’s success if weak! Bye Felicia

  • haydenfurgeson Hayden Furgeson (@haydenfurgeson) reported

    @SeaOfThieves literal dog **** update. Matchmaking is completely broken

  • StormySeaDog StormySeaDog (@StormySeaDog) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support There seems to be a bug that has started where you cant buy captaincy supplies from Shipwright!! We have workaround of clearing out voyage inventory. But was curious if any hot fix is inbound!! #SeaofThieves Hope the team has amazing Christmas!!

  • YerOldCaptain Captain Butterfinger (@YerOldCaptain) reported

    @JFlannery2001 @SeaOfThieves Delete all your Captain voyages that might fix it!

  • Slappa1993 Slappa (@Slappa1993) reported

    @haliax_l @SeaOfThieves Give/make angle with cannons to rotate along opposing ship, bucket water out and then fix mast after landing couple of shots on other ship.

  • arnomattheus Arno Mattheus (@arnomattheus) reported

    @engine_think @SeaOfThieves I would think that the port should not be for trading, but the problem then would be, would any one go there if they can not trade there?

  • MinkRoyal RoyalMink (@MinkRoyal) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why are my captain supplies not working? It's really annoying... @SoT_Support

  • xMLG_Drizzy Dave+ (@xMLG_Drizzy) reported

    @IllBushido305 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support At this point they need to improve matchmaking skill and if it’s an issue then just implement AI ships with an occasional player.

  • xMLG_Drizzy Dave+ (@xMLG_Drizzy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @LaTiaLoquita Fix your damn matchmaking

  • anxiety_cured Cured Anxiety (@anxiety_cured) reported

    @SmithyBug @SeaOfThieves let me make it simple for you, how long has rare been promising us hit reg and black screen fixes? years? maybe 3? stop defending incompetent devs, the game has been put for like 6 years now? it has been an issue for that long and they haven't done anything about it.

  • dignified_space DignifiedSpace (@dignified_space) reported

    @ItzMino_ @SeaOfThieves I would play this update if the server didn’t go to **** every time a battle started. Constant lag every time I fight someone through this system so I just don’t bother with it

  • _JimmySall_ JimmySall (@_JimmySall_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support If someone sees this and is experiencing the same issue I didn't read the small letters that are saying that new accounts are restricted from making new posts.

  • BilyJesusworth Billy Jesusworth (@BilyJesusworth) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I got 288 days played and these match making times are making me think of quiting the game. I am wasting so much time. Please get us reapers vs reapers or athena vs athena this coming thursday. Its an easy fix.

  • Trixster13 🍍🧒 Jason Helms aka: Mad Jack Bonney (@Trixster13) reported

    @CptDazzen @SeaOfThieves I agree with you. Also, the cat in the Athena's hideout, was that Trouble from the Tales from the Sea of Thieves book?

  • ScryylTV Scryyl (@ScryylTV) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves can you please fix 5 minute long black screens in the middle of pvp fights? Thanks

  • SkivvyHoncho SkivvyHoncho (@SkivvyHoncho) reported

    @Breezzei @ItzMino_ @SeaOfThieves nah. as more players quit the game (because of cheaters) the problems concentrate itself (only the cheaters stick around) so your odds of playing with cheaters today, especially with a new PVP mode are greatly increased. wish it wasn't true. I loved this game.

  • ScrollsFallout ActuallyEric (@ScrollsFallout) reported

    @haliax_l @SeaOfThieves Go for a quick snipe to the cannoneer. If it lands it gets you a few precious seconds of relief. Then I try to stop the spin. Bucket like mad, fix a hole, then see if I might be able to land another shot on the other sloop cannon. Just gotta try to lessen the pressure lil by lil
