CMDR Geocacher (@GamerDadZoiks) reported@DrD1sconnect @SeaOfThieves I play solo about 75% of the time. I see no issues? Except maybe level 5 reapers diving into the server. But I just check map, sell, then attack!

MagmaBoots (@MagmaBoots) reportedIs it just me, or is everyone experiencing terrible frame drops in #SeaOfThieves lately? I have a pretty decent PC setup, but my frames are dying whenever I’m fighting a Burning Blade or completing Ashen Garrisons. The lag when opening barrels and crates seems to be back as well. Looking back at old game clips, it used to run smooth as butter. Will it ever feel that way again? @SoT_Support

DUBB3D (@__DUBB3D__) reportedThe recent decisions from the Sea of Thieves team has been unacceptable and quite frankly out of line. The more recent issues being Season 19, and the Blackwyche set releasing in the Emporium are the final straws on the camels back for a lot of players, myself included. More specifically, the way both of these situations have been handled is nothing short of disgraceful. I'm not talking about the team scrapping content from Season 19, but rather trying to keep the 3-Act structure, when we were just told by Drew that that formula does not work, yet it's still getting implemented. "Transparency" as a whole is something we have heard from the team almost every video it seems. However, it has become corporate speak rather than details of current problems (and what they're doing to fix it) as well as discussion of the large-scale full roadmap for the future plans of the game. This is highly alarming. We are far beyond the point of needing to be surprised for anything. PLEASE just tell us what you are going to do for the game and what is going on. We need full honesty and openness about what the team is doing to show that our valuable time is not being wasted like it currently is, and for overall improvement of game health. Of course the next community direct could be the start of seeing some future plans, but again, this needed to happen sooner (years ago) and it's honestly too late regardless of what happens now. We see Rare is underwater and profits are decreasing at an alarming rate. We see the team scrambling to push out any amount of half-baked content. The overall quality bar has been set so drastically low it is embarrassing. None of it has proper creative and intuitive lead like it used to and it leaves us with less and less for every update. The game does not feel as full or exciting as it used to, despite there being so much. Another huge problem, especially right now, are the community managers and moderators. So many of these people in the past have bullied, belittled, blocked, and flat out banned players for voicing their opinions. There needs to be a drastic change in this team in regards to how it is structured and how they are allowed to use their authority and operate. I am not wishing for anyone to get fired, but rather repositioned to a different role, because managing a community and handling feedback is obviously not in their skill set. Some people in particular are J0toro and Shirah, who have been the worst when it comes to this. It feels like they have no boss watching or directing what they do and it has been like this for years. They are on a super loose leash and it feels like they are completely separate from the rest of the leadership team. They speak and act on what they feel and what they want and it is super bad. These people SHOULD NOT be the public representation of Rare, specifically Sea of Thieves at all. There is also a MASSIVE disconnect between how Rare views Sea of Thieves, and how the players view Sea of Thieves. Yes, it is Rare's game and Microsoft's IP, but our wants and needs as the players who actually spend time in the game needs to be paramount in decision making in the future. In short, what I am trying to say, is that Rare and specifically the directors of Sea of Thieves need to either get this game back on course before it is too late, or announce that they are working on Sea of Thieves 2. People only speak up because they care. If nobody spoke up in the face of problems, then it would be even worse than it is now. The fact that still so many people voice their opinions is a good thing, so please stop censoring us or just flat out ignoring us. #SeaOfThieves

Amy (@molnaramy00) reported@SeaOfThieves What was good: - The challenges, firework display, decorations. What was really bad for me: - We barely found players doing the voyages. If we found one after server hopping for hours, it was always a swabbie, because the decent players already finished their 3 voyages in ~30 mins. I think the challenges should be the main sources of doubloons, not the limited voyages on an already time limited event. A swabbie might get all 3 of them stolen and then that's it, only the minority of the playerbase are determined enough to search for people for hours, this part of the event is just not fun.. I don't have a problem with pvp, but just punching down on bad players isn't it.

⚙️ (@d3monWo1f) reported@SeaOfThieves @theburntpeanut tried playing your game again. 2nd opportunity to gain players and same fn issues. Do you even care anymore?
-
Captain Doubloon (@DoubloonCaptain) reported@Game7DS @SeaOfThieves Applying for partner would be so amazing. It’s unfortunate to see this disconnect block me from it. Hoping this is addressed!
-
Shucks (@82hoosier) reported@TippToppHansiI @SeaOfThieves @theburntpeanut Yeah i've played 4-5 days now. 2 of those days i was booted offline. One of those days it happened 20 times. Not sure how anyone defends this. And bad connections effect solo players even more because they have a razor thin margin of error to begin with.

Master (@Lotus_Koril) reported@Donuttboy @SeaOfThieves I know! Duke only sells old event cosmetics. Larinna only sells pass cosmetics and old login bonuses. None of these will be reskins.

Rodney Allstein (@A4285455594739) reported@SeaOfThieves Drew, you got a ton of things to fix
-
Sauce (@GotSauced) reported@SeaOfThieves I does this irl when in trouble.
-
Wermux (@Wermux) reported@2old4stream @SeaOfThieves And what's funny, players are always vocal about this. Yet Rare just ignores all the feedback, does as they want, sends another missed the mark video, tries to fix things and comes up with next stupid idea. Every single time

Levi wright (@wright_lev69083) reported@SeaOfThieves @NexdealSOT Your games broken
-
Average Vibes (@AverageVibeMan) reported@SeaOfThieves A Sword will not fix your game. Sorry not sorry
-
George Floyd's Inhaler (@ThrowAcc25) reported@SeaOfThieves can you fix the bug on Skeleton Forts whete the lord glitches into the floor and when they're defeated to vault door key doesn't spawn. Your game has to many bugs and glitches, it makes it so unenjoyable.
-
🦂 (@Slaughterfascis) reported@SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves fix your game
-
Smoke (@SmokeBeardTV) reported@SeaOfThieves is now switching up again, the doubloon cutlass is free as long as youve earned 50k doubloons in your lifetime (sorry new and casual players, sot just flipped you the bird) its almost like if they stop resetting doubloons we wouldn’t have any of these problems
-
DK2️⃣ (@DayKahDos) reported@SeaOfThieves One of the major issues with this event is the lack of frequency combined with the inability to earn doubloons almost at all now in between these weekends. The cap of 3 voyage completions before it gives gold is lame as well. Also server performance was TERRIBLE (fireworks?)
-
Frank Estes (@FrankEstess) reported@SeaOfThieves Man I want my content even if it's broken just fix it in hot patches I seriously never seen a company that never ever uses hot patches to update mid game for small tweaks
-
Nyros (@SirNyros) reportedPlease I beg you, PLEASE FIX this Cannon De-Synch happening right now. Cannons are completely out of Control especially in Hourglass when both Masts are down. 50/50 that your cannons actually land where you shoot them. @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support #SeaOfThieves

Captain Long Face (@OpochLongFace) reported@SeaOfThieves Trying not to get DDOS when streaming

THESPYHUNTER (@Hunterkillerst2) reported@SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Are you gonna fix the glitch that makes it where I can’t buy the new 4 Reapers heart weapons?
-
MrSaltyTheNF #Mets #Steelersnation (@MrSaltyTheNF) reported@SeaOfThieves Don't care just fix the game and bring pirates life 2
-
Mikey 🛝 (@Griinjah) reportedThe stream didn’t even last an hour… How did we not learn from Jynxzi, @RareLtd? Events like this make me sad to even admit how many hours I’ve put into SoT. Are you going to fix this issue four years later like HG, or actually do something NOW? Fix the damn game. #SeaOfThieves
-
Tommy (@TowardTheFutur) reported@RareLtd @SeaOfThieves CAN YOU FIX THE GOD DAMN BLACK SCREENS IN THE ROCKS ON MOLTEN SANDS FORTRESS PLASE?!
-
NessieDoes (@NessieDoes) reportedI can’t keep making excuses for @SeaOfThieves Fix your game before upping prices
-
Coastchiller (@ChillerCoast) reported@SeaOfThieves @MarathonTheGame Holy, the jokes write themselves right now.... 🤡👍 Unlike Everwild, Marathon did indeed launch, even tho @Bungie did put Destiny2 the community on the sacrificial altar to conjure up that mess. You should rather lock in and fix your "season" instead of making posts like this
-
ShamanMcLamie (@ShamanMcLamie) reported@SeaOfThieves My biggest problem with stuff like this is that it is after the fact. I get if something is limited time to get, but if there is no heads up that there would be any reward. People who would grind these things out wouldn't do it.
-
Vivo (@Vivoronte) reported@SeaOfThieves I also spied my eye on a little Peanut getting server DDOS'd with his friends and roughly 70k viewers..... Going to acknowledge the issue at hand? no? hmm ok... I used to Love and breath this game. It's truly sad and seems so far gone.
