    @SeaOfThieves Please for the love of God, fix your buggy game. I've literally never experienced more game breaking bugs any other time than during bilgerats weekend.

    @ManVsMiniatures @SeaOfThieves Its written by their legal team not rare. They know how to phrase stuff without getting into more trouble. While I do agree, law wise their respond is sadly the only correct way.

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd This game has become nothing more than a broken beta test. Absolute trash, unplayable.

    The statement didn't mean anything really did it you can make any positive u want but it isn't gonna fix the core problem here games cooked and most would rather have drops than protect kids #fucksotpartner #fucksot #seaofthieves

    The @SeaOfThieves doubloon fix is a mess. Players not reset were stuck at the 4k cap, unable to farm. Now you’re removing their items? At the next event, they’ll have to grind double: for the old items AND the new ones. Stop punishing us for your bugs! #SeaOfThieves

    @IamGreen112 @SeaOfThieves So, players who exploited this got to keep everything, those who were affected by the glitch got items deleted, and you're stuck between a rock and a hard place of having to earn them, and having items taken away. Schrodinger's Doubloons-- their here and not here at same time lol

    My dreams of wanting to be partners with SoT has long since died. I'm not supporting a group of folks that sweep important issues under the rug, victim blame, hide behind rules feel like "rules for thee not for me." There are too many rats and not enough cats #seaofthieves

    @SeaOfThieves Is it just me or am I getting unstable ping issues with this game over that weekend? I know I live in Australia, but my internet connection is stable and that is on Xbox Series X. 🫤

    @fraudatori @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves Sure the game has many problems, im not disagreeing on that regard. But just because another game has a pirate theme, doesnt mean it can replace sot gameplaywise. These other games just arent for me, as they cant replace what i like on sot.

  • __DUBB3D__

    @NessieDoes @SeaOfThieves @j0toro Since someone in a Bruno Files video is asking me to send proof of them knowing “everything”, I will clarify with this: When I said “they knew everything for a long time” I was alluding to the pig incident when I said that, which they did know about and deflected by turning their eyes away from it. The linked image below is a direct reference of proof for that. And by “they”, or “Employees” I mean Shirah and J0toro who are employed Community Managers working for Sea Of Thieves who were doing nothing about this issue, yet still endorsed and promoted Bruno

  • Volerop
    Smokes-N-Games (@Volerop) reported

    @FROTTOLEE @SeaOfThieves They should start by removing the one thing that connects silly pirate game to the real world. The pride bullshit. That is the catalyst for some of the most sick and vile people to flock towards SoT. The usual culprits are the flag pushers. They are a massive part of the problem, that very small, very vocal clique of players whom should not be trusted blindly in positions of power.

  • Nemesis2K
    ꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reported

    Last ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 30+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

    @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves I'm not saying they handle everything correctly right now, but that's just how companies work. Also, putting "their people" on public prangers could get them into legal issues too, which might be the main reason for them to do it "behind the scenes" in the first place.

    @shenanigoon @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I truly hope so. It's so disheartening to see everything that's happened. Nevermind the lack of trust from the current game issues, this happening has been a major black spot on this game/studio. I still have a sliver of hope left, but frankly I am not holding my breath.

    matchmaking takes forever, flags disappear after diving back after a win before going thru the portal, masts glitch if you dont repair them, half the boats dont count toward streaks like wtf is this buggy mess i just want to play dollar tree arena in peace @SeaOfThieves

    @fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves I think Sea of Thieves has bigger problems right now than the engine it runs on

  • BishoyMilad
    Baytash (@BishoyMilad) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I understand that you want to go for the grinding mechanic but the problem lies in there's nothing to grind if there's no alternate way of earning a suitable amount of doubloons after completing the deeds of the weekender, there has to be another way to earn doubloons.

    Notcaringmuch (@notcaringmuch) reported

    @squidkiller8781 @Dambitt_ @SeaOfThieves well look, cheaters aren't really a big problem now. There were less of them than the actual number of bugs. They made them "grind" to be able to play Hourglass, so most risks their main profile in the process or completely given up on playing with those. (Yes on PC)

  • LordofCh8os
    LordofCh8os (@LordofCh8os) reported

    I’ve run into cheaters maybe a handful of times over the years. @SkeleCurseIRL is absolutely right, #seaofthieves doesn’t have a cheater problem, it has a perception problem. The lack of game knowledge has people calling cheats for what is just really good gameplay

    Will Dozer 🌐 (@potatosordfight) reported

    @Giovann69642526 @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves to afford just the curse, nevermind a single other thing in BOTH of the black markets, and you have to remember that this is only the first black market drop. They intend to add more to it consistently, which will only make this issue worse.

  • Xyllius
    Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported

    @Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves I would agree if the issue would be WITHIN the game, but this is OUTSIDE of the game mostly, on social channels. Again, cut-off people involved and close the discord server until things are solved. People that are responsible are mostly dangerous on these platforms.
