  • TheRealBilmo Bilmo (@TheRealBilmo) reported

    @Headinho @SeaOfThieves Wow, so it really is the word "Tipsy" it has a problem with??

  • chloefitzsimmo1 Chloefitzsimmons (@chloefitzsimmo1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is anyone else servers not working tonight?

  • DrDinglePhD Least Racist Asuka Fan (@DrDinglePhD) reported

    @fluxingeneral @SeaOfThieves They can’t add any more ships in the current game without adding serious lag. They have to accommodate for people playing on the first edition Xbox one with **** hardware. If they switch to next gen only, it could be a possibility.

  • Orzeck9 Orzeck (@Orzeck9) reported

    I waited months for the Sea of Thieves Captaincy update, and the first encounter I get into I cannot load my cannons. Push to hold cancelled midway almost every time I tried to reload in combat. No lag, no frame-drop, just buttons that wont work. #seaofthieves, I'm legit sad rn.

  • demonofthecrows Demon of the Crows (TTV) (@demonofthecrows) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves can you please fix the bug where i can't get rid of Captain voyages I don't want? Discarding them doesn't work, and they keep coming back!!!

  • OfficialAeon AEON (@OfficialAeon) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This aint it chief. Now people are calling for PvE servers, is that the next step? Listen to the other side for once. Focus on PvP, address the underwhelming combat, fix projectile trajectory, add passive mode at 60% gold/xp, bring back a viable double gun, add extra weapons...

  • bob316uk rob burr (@bob316uk) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why is this game so buggy I've been playing this game and nothing seems to be spawning in properly everything's a glitch they need to sort out their service and they're service thing there is

  • 1Chenzo Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    @BrandonOgden5 @SeaOfThieves No. I assume that's just a technical problem. like why you can't swap ship sizes. He's got 10 minutes(?) to reconnect. what about Alliance servers? And I wonder how much the solo sloop updates will survive before nerf.

  • TheRealBilmo Bilmo (@TheRealBilmo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Names don't work. Please fix.

  • terribleMirrors Ballistic (@terribleMirrors) reported

    @SeaOfThieves griefing will continue to be a problem as long as there is no punishment for getting your ship sunk or your player dying. people will spawn in with random boats and continue to harrass you because they have nothing to lose try to take some notes from Escape from Tarkov tbh

  • Just_Mosley Just Mosley (@Just_Mosley) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Having issues starting up a captians voyage =( trying to start my first one and it says I've already got one active but I don't and the pirate lord is just stood on my boat waiting.

  • Thok24 Kevin T (@Thok24) reported

    @mansion999 @SeaOfThieves This is how literally every service is. They already give players a TON for free. Get a new boat if you want a new name.

  • frankcasillas50 Frank (@frankcasillas50) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the lag spikes and hit reg please and add more ships per server

  • myburntashes Burnt Ashes (@myburntashes) reported

    @WolfMan38x @SeaOfThieves I had similar issues with my main account but CYBER_CHROME1 on Instagram fix it within an hour

  • garrett412 Garrett412 (@garrett412) reported

    @SeaOfThieves there’s a glitch where we buy supplies and we don’t get anything none from the merchant or the ship shop. Please help

  • questionmark267 questionofmark (@questionmark267) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I think we’ve got some broken skelly fleets ships aren’t spawning over here

  • Ecgbryht Trangus (@Ecgbryht) reported

    @StevePayne82 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I have the same problem. Sometimes the cosmetics save, sometimes they don't. Glad it's not just me! Also, the sale price for a ship in the emporium was not honored.

  • joselujimeno Jose Jimeno (@joselujimeno) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I have been receiving the Kiwibeard error for days and no solution works for me

  • WideHelmsman Wide Helmsman (@WideHelmsman) reported

    @ScoobydooerXD @SeaOfThieves Oh you mean ships history, sorry, I misunderstood, then yes, it is broken.

  • Mozzla_ Dylan (@Mozzla_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support is there a current issue on xbox, can't get in and all I'm getting is Lavenderbeard error

  • HonkTactful TactfulHonk (@HonkTactful) reported

    @Shanick92 @JoeNeate1 @SeaOfThieves I get why it's been done, no argument there. But it's literally a Hide emote. In the new state it's unusable. Waiting until everyone has already paid for it before removing the functionality is a bit immoral, and most games companies in this position just issue a currency rebate.

  • Ecgbryht Trangus (@Ecgbryht) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the bug where saving at the shipwright doesn't stay, or at least make the service free until the bug is fixed. It sometimes saves between sessions, sometimes does not.

  • MandoOnTwo MandoOnTwo (@MandoOnTwo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Ya know the only ship I am having trouble coming up with a name for is thr Brig. Have no idea what it is gonna be

  • Reaper8818 Strace19 (@Reaper8818) reported

    Two veils as captain great times!! Marblebeard error when turning in the loot bad times…… #BeMorePirate #SeaOfThieves #errorbeard

  • jguerreret Joan (@jguerreret) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why have I been having issues with my key bindings for a month or so? They seem to not work

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    Anybody else having issues with the captaincy update where it's not saving your ship cosmetics between sessions and making you to pay again to save them? #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate #Season7 @SotSupport

  • codyaparis cody (@codyaparis) reported

    @ActivistGamer @JitJoel @SeaOfThieves Sounds like a skull issue

  • prophecie_ Phil (@prophecie_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Pls fix scrambled names for streamers for the ship, that makes seriously no sense
