    @SeaOfThieves "Couldn't be that hard" *proceeds to lag to the bottom of the ocean and drown on the way back up*

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @beskarlorian @SeaOfThieves Servers are not hosted by Rare, they're Microsoft's issues.

  • jacobrigdon2 jacob rigdon (@jacobrigdon2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so I hop on the game for the first time in months (quit playing because of constant server issues) and the server crashes on our first emissary quest after we hit grade 5. **** Rare, **** Sea of Thieves, never seen a game with worse management. Waste of time.

  • ThWatcherKnight TheWatcherKnight (@ThWatcherKnight) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I think a lot of people would have a problem completing that problem because of server stability issues

  • FishBone_of_RG Fish Bone🏴🏴‍☠️ (@FishBone_of_RG) reported

    @beskarlorian @SeaOfThieves I was having that problem too, just go onto another server and I'll all be counted👍

  • iamtygrah Tygrah (@iamtygrah) reported

    @SoT_Support When are you actually fixing the blackscreen bug? It's UNPLAYABLE. You die once, you sink everytime. It is SO FRUSTRATING. Really, this is a fundamental issue since months now. FIX IT!! @SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate

  • Dracofox52 Dracofox (@Dracofox52) reported

    @Rabbit_hug @SeaOfThieves Im not sure but that might be the plan I remember seeing people talk about a visual glitch that looked like that might happen

  • AShinyRayquaza AShinyRay #TeamFlameheart (@AShinyRayquaza) reported

  • stonergames42 KoG BullFrog (@stonergames42) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Y is the shores of gold have so much lag

  • TheRawkOne Mitch (@TheRawkOne) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I’m burnt out because of the time constraint issue. I’ve only been playing a few months but with only an hour or more after work to play, doing a solo voyage that takes an hour and half just to get continually sunk pretty much stinks.

  • AjagurGaming Calum Clarke (@AjagurGaming) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @sot_support not getting any gold for selling anything. Is this a known issue at the moment?

  • Masoncorleone12 Mason (@Masoncorleone12) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I don't get why people like pvp it takes no skill. All you do is abuse the lag in the game to kill people, meanwhile pve actually takes skill because enemies can't kill you without hitting you.

  • BugleboygamingB THE BBG (@BugleboygamingB) reported

    I am so tired of trying to get supply from barrels and it sinks just before you get it. @SeaOfThieves can yall fix this issue soon.

  • StephenLSzabo15 Stephen L. Szabo (@StephenLSzabo15) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Rare....please fix the darn Black screen of death..once you go thru the door in the ferry of the Damned..it took almost 5 minutes to physically get back to my ship,but I could hear everything that was going on.

  • shinrenyoki Mak (@shinrenyoki) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Would you explain to me why servers are not working? I got kicked out of multiple instances with a grade 5 reaper, losing about 15-20 hours of gameplay. Im *so* close to uninstalling.

  • HollowGamingAlt HollowDoesThings #Save101DS 🏳️‍🌈 (@HollowGamingAlt) reported

    Hey, @SeaOfThieves could you fix the kraken spawns? I barely spawned in by myself and immediately encountered a kraken the moment I began to sail out
