Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Zyx_XBL Zyx (@Zyx_XBL) reported

    @InkyGhosts @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves At least this guys are only boosting without hurting anyone, usually they leave a spot for a random crew to invade and blast them in a 1v5 battle. Imho Rare have to focus first in QoL and fix what makes people stop playing this game mode, queue times, cheaters and balancing

  • ivansmc00 Wí Wí chunamericrisma (@ivansmc00) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix bugs :)

  • MutinousMel Mel the Servant’s Flame (@MutinousMel) reported

    @little_lizard17 @SeaOfThieves I'm in the US and had no issue reading it. Did you order it from the US website?

  • BladeRoninn Blade 🇨🇺 🇺🇸 (@BladeRoninn) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @SeaOfThieves How is a flag you can fly if you choose not to participate in player versus player combat not a tool? For the rest of that lobby you'd be unable to do damage to any player controlled ship or person but neither than they. What is the problem ?

  • thesameagus Agus (@thesameagus) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX ur stupid pairing in pvp Level 500 vs Level 20 wtf

  • Kr74Shane Grizzly (@Kr74Shane) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the stupid bugs in the game. Fix the forever load times for the hourglass battles. Lastly, fix it where those that cannot play the game cannot alliance up with multiple ships when in a battle.

  • BB4c0n Bl4z1ngB4c0n (@BB4c0n) reported

    @SeaOfThieves For them to fix match making

  • GingieCaptain Captain Gingie (@GingieCaptain) reported

    @Wermux @SeaOfThieves I’ve been at 49/50 for a week lol playing on EU servers with friend so I haven’t got any credit. Wish they would fix this!

  • Jumper92PL Jumperovsky (@Jumper92PL) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please give Champions more reason to sail around. Most people lower after Streak 4. They are almost impossible to find. Also fix post Blessing/Ritual Commendations so they count for all crew members and fix Old Brinestone Fortress key bug already 🥺 #SeaOfThieves

  • Chicken_in_hat 💀Skell💀 🏺 (@Chicken_in_hat) reported

    You can't complain about "sbmm not working" and also complain about wait times for fights. I mean, you can, but it's really dumb to do so. #seaofthieves

  • chiimchauu ChiimChauu (@chiimchauu) reported

    Is it just me or is there a bucketing issue in @SeaOfThieves right now? Never had complaints about bilging until recent.

  • jawsspace12345 Kekada (@jawsspace12345) reported

    @CaptMorganTSF @SeaOfThieves Just a tinsey tiny drinking problem

  • TheBlaz24560469 TheBlaze (@TheBlaz24560469) reported

    Im sorry @SeaOfThieves , but your matchmaking doesnt work. I got put against a Duo Sloop, as a Solo. One of them had the Ghost Curse and one the Skeleton Curse, while i am level 35 in Guardians... The Problem is obvious right?

  • ekul_1021 Monkey Island Ship Harbor (@ekul_1021) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Better looking pirates, maybe fix the leg portion of pirates so it doesn't look like two stick legs? Of course plenty of room for improvement too.

  • cpt_dope CptDopeBeard (@cpt_dope) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey could you guys look into fog in battle areas. It's getting bad!!! The fog is to thick, it needs to be reduced. It is causing battles to go on way past what it needs to be. It's becoming a problem 😕 please fix this. You can't even see a other boat within cannon range.

  • LadyRevana88 Jessica Carter (@LadyRevana88) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @pteth1 @SeaOfThieves You literally have said that if people don't play it how you want to, that breaks the game, you are wrong, you can't admit it. That's your problem not mine

  • Sam_Ericson16 Sam (@Sam_Ericson16) reported

    @InkyGhosts @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves My take: This isn't an issue. While sure, it bypasses the pvp nature. It's to both be expected (since Rare) and unless they don't have all the boats it doesn't affect the wider playerbase so becomes a non issue. Cheesy? sure, needs fixing? ehhh.

  • Kharjo19 Kharjo (@Kharjo19) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Slightly better sailing mechanics. Ex: triangle sails between the main square rigged sails. This could fix (somewhat) sailing against the wind.

  • supercook5 Chris O'Rourke (@supercook5) reported

    @SeaOfThieves because i keep getting the Lavenderbeard error when I try to log into the game tried restarting it redownloading it also checking updates and nothing works

  • EllieBoopPlays EllieBoop (@EllieBoopPlays) reported

    Matchmaking was pretty rough tonight on a galleon EU servers. Looooong match wait times for both factions. First time we've had issues though. Any more specific ETA on the matchmaking changes @keeyaaaa ? #SeaOfThieves

  • Falcon59875668 Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @nickolivonkrain @CATpt93 @SeaOfThieves If you buy game about interactions with other players and you dont like this aspect in game then its your problem, no game problem. Its like buying horror game when you dont like scary elements.

  • LadyRevana88 Jessica Carter (@LadyRevana88) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @pteth1 @SeaOfThieves Using someone else's arguments as your own is not very clever. You are unwilling to see that as a toxic player you are part of the problem that PVE people want to avoid. You are boring and stupid and I have no interest in talking to any more. Continue being small minded

  • ThWatcherKnight TheWatcherKnight (@ThWatcherKnight) reported

    @Phantaxus @SeaOfThieves Anticheat can also ruin games and make them unplayable. I've seen 1 hacker the entire time I've played. I tried to play destiny 2 for about a month and got kicked out of the game for 'hacking' software multiple times (and the issue has been documented for years)

  • vhqsi chqsi (@vhqsi) reported

    @SeaOfThieves y’all need to fix my account 3/5 times I kill things or pick things up and drop them they disappear it’s making it a pain in the *** when it involves keys I’ve just had to reload three voyages because of this wasting 40 minutes

  • LadyRevana88 Jessica Carter (@LadyRevana88) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @pteth1 @SeaOfThieves Putting in PVE servers doesn't break the game, only in your tiny mind is that the case. If we don't play the way you want to the game is broken. As I have said time and time again, PVE servers don't affect you in any way

  • Junior373_xd Junior_373 XD (@Junior373_xd) reported

    @SeaOfThieves PLEASE FIX THE MATCHMAKING

  • constantina88 Constantina88 (@constantina88) reported

    @SeaOfThieves For your game not to have any problems!!!

  • PoggersDuck Jurassic Duck (@PoggersDuck) reported

    @Joe_The_Human94 @SeaOfThieves I am Athena. Today I actually got into fights without having to wait more than 3 minutes. It was nice. Only problem now is that my opponents are too skilled for me

  • RedRPStudios jettslowaf (@RedRPStudios) reported

    @SeaOfThieves That you’ll finally fix hit registration

  • omgimaboogle omgimabagel (@omgimaboogle) reported
