  • RachaelEmmaM Rachael Matthews (@RachaelEmmaM) reported

    @KaalaACNH @SeaOfThieves I was playing from around 02:00 to 06:00 BST trying to get the last few levels for the season. No addition to rep/season progress and no money in all that time despite doing voyages, etc. I love SOT but this issue is becoming way too common.

  • jamie_darko hesh (@jamie_darko) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Feedhova_TG @SeaOfThieves Hi, it's so hard getting in touch with your team. I need a little help please. I'm a steam player and haven't played the game for months. Just reinstalled today and can't sign in to my account. I must've used a different email address. Who can I talk to about this?

  • PistonWicked Wicked Piston (@PistonWicked) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You do realize this is still broken right? I have attempted to complete this Chapter 2 of the Tall tale over 4 times now, and it breaks every time on the "Siren Gaurd" Fight.. Tried to give this game a chance and all it did was waste my time and cause frustration. Fix your game.

  • KaalaACNH Kaalanya (@KaalaACNH) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No gold and no glory for many of us, we didn't receive anything after 00:00 selling our winnings. Please fix this properly and not with a meager compensation, especially regarding the lost glory.... It's hard to be a legendary pirate with this kind of problem...

  • DavidOl08687890 David Oliveira (@DavidOl08687890) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I NEED MY SOT FIX, BRING THE SERVERS BACK WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • RyRyThePirate PiratePosse (@RyRyThePirate) reported

    @KaalaACNH @SeaOfThieves Yeah, happened last night to me and my buddy.. not too bad but yeah apparently just have to wait so no problem

  • FuturisticDealR Tyler (@FuturisticDealR) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hope there's a fix to the blunderbuss 👍

  • kiwi_Kaiser kiwiKaiser (@kiwi_Kaiser) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm a bit sceptical. What happens when I'm under water and another player crew sinks my ship? How do I get notified? Or will we finally getting private lobbies (I would still pay for this) so this is not an issue at all?

  • ReallyBlazedFox Austringer (@ReallyBlazedFox) reported

    @DanielPalzewic1 @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Nobody can help if you aren't more specific about the problem.

  • Bear_Festival Bear Festival (3D Commissions Open) (@Bear_Festival) reported

    @Darth_Xile @SeaOfThieves Its a pvpve game for a reason. That aside, the next issue becomes if that happens. With no sheep, the wolves starve, and the game's player count will drop quite a bit. Just be more careful and get better at defending yourself.

  • ToxicTwitr Twitr is toxic (@ToxicTwitr) reported

    @parotiaVA @SeaOfThieves It's a problem with steam, not sea of thieves. Steam is down for lots of ppl rn

  • rootntootntexan J-Shizzle (@rootntootntexan) reported

    @SeaOfThieves God, we were so close to getting to rank 100. Fun game but damnit @SeaOfThieves, a glitch for us for one of your goddamn Deeds prevented us from being able to make it with the time we had to play. Played the entire day only to fall a quarter short... ****, man.

  • ATh31st1991 John Stinson (@ATh31st1991) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey, uummm me and my dedicated crewmate had an issue with a large haul of loot for order of souls voyages, sold and received no in game currency so far as next day. Just wanted run this by you in case we aren't the only ones. Thanks

  • HitaxasTV Hitaxas (@HitaxasTV) reported

    @steam @SeaOfThieves issues may be resolved, I was able to log in. :)

  • Chimpaco Chimpaco (@Chimpaco) reported

    @flmandan_mufc @ButterHoneyMilk @SeaOfThieves Dude, for real. What is wrong with the Sea of Thieves community. Any complaint about gameplay improvements is met with "They must be bad, get good scrub". Wanting steak and being served **** isn't a get good issue.

  • Sylvanas4021 Sylvanas4021 (@Sylvanas4021) reported

    @PcflWtrs @SeaOfThieves I had to stop watching as soon as I saw the boat twitch, as someone who has seizures this is a serious issue. I have been experiencing it alot lately with meg's and server lag but I love the game! I do hope they can figure out a fix for it!

  • flmandan_mufc pogB🔴🔴M (@flmandan_mufc) reported

    @Chimpaco @ButterHoneyMilk @SeaOfThieves Bro you might be projecting just a bit. Never did I say that and I myself hate saying that, I gave you constructive criticism and if you didn’t get that not my problem 👍 have a good one!

  • 1Chenzo Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    @PlanetScotty @SeaOfThieves PC? What errors?

  • Southwardfaun Southwardfaun (@Southwardfaun) reported

    @rottenrosen @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd What would you suggest they do to "fix griefing" it sounds like you just want to avoid pvp itself.

  • PlanetScotty mr. Nimbus (@PlanetScotty) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Wanna play so badly but Game Pass gives me errors everytime I try to install🥲🥲

  • JoeHand2017 joseph hand (@JoeHand2017) reported

    @sprtjnky @SeaOfThieves If you dont like it dont play. Easy fix. Other stuff is still on the way or being held off on for sea of thieves 2

  • CommsBreak SpinalCrush ♿ (@CommsBreak) reported

    Some of you have (hopefully) noticed my absence from Twitch over the last 2 weeks, I thought I’d keep you in the loop & report I’m suffering a minor #SpinalCordInjury specific problem ! I should be back to normal service blowing stuff up on @SeaOfThieves very soon 👍🏼

  • StevePayne82 ⓈⓉⒺⓋⒺ | ❎📦🙅🏻‍♂️ (@StevePayne82) reported

    @JulianFuchs15 @sillybunt5 @SeaOfThieves I’ve got an issue with the first boss / fight with sirens before you open the gate chained to the black pearl. The sirens stopped spawning and the checkpoint doesn’t clear it. This is the second time, I’ve finished it once and it didn’t register, and now cannot speed run either.

  • rottenrosen zal:|| (@rottenrosen) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Hey, fix griefing. My friends and I would like to play without getting sunk every hour.

  • ImBadAtGames10 large gary (@ImBadAtGames10) reported

    @FuturisticDealR @SeaOfThieves I've heard they're going to "fix" all guns by making them even more useless and less skillbased! It's amazing!

  • PcflWtrs Tasha s (@PcflWtrs) reported

    @Sylvanas4021 @SeaOfThieves Me too. I’ve had seizures as well and i had to jump off the boat cause I can’t take it either. I hope for a fix soon 🥰

  • Lassikko Lassi ._. (@Lassikko) reported

    @ElyaPog @SeaOfThieves I think there is a simple solution to this problem that most people would be happy with. Paid private servers, just like Minecraft Realms. You pay about $10 a month to have your own server that only you and people you invite can join whenever they want.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @rottenrosen @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd "Fix griefing", lmao, like its a bug? I don't understand what needs to be fixed otherwise your ability of self-defense...?
