Copper (@Coppertailwolf) reported@SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves The black and white is signal enough. I can’t believe that made it to a more prominent side of hourglass. I imagine that’s wildly triggering to a lot of people with any form of inner ear issue or sensitivity. Like who wants one long high pitch tone in your ear for 5 mins. Even if you don’t have sensory issues absolutely no one likes that haha
-
ralhrby667 (@ralhrby667) reported@SeaOfThieves ,we are asking you about the Middle East servers because we suffer from high ping and every time we play the game the ping is 150+ and above. (So we hope the problem will be solved). Message from Arabic community players Discord link:

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐤 🏴☠️ (@BeardBerserk) reported@Mephisto_hub @SeaOfThieves I did this on purpose it's not edited. I wanted the guards to look like they are glitch and can move faster than time itself.
-
NorthernLaw (@NorthernLawYT) reported@SeaOfThieves At this point in the life cycle I’m not even sure how to improve the game. It seems as though it’s been going in a circle while still issues from day 1 run rampant. Always loved the game but since 21 it’s just been downhill, it’s genuinely sad to see.

Optic (@khalidageele) reported@SeaOfThieves Fix ur game
-
TWEENGO (@tweengo1) reported@EliEelEye @SeaOfThieves Region locked for me even though I'm in the uk and got the sails no problem.
-
🪄📚✨ (@imabookwyrm) reported@daxingtontf @GreedoGaming @SeaOfThieves Honestly, I don’t see how that’ll help. The game will always have problems because some people sink and cry that hackers sunk them, when in actuality it was a better opponent. Not everyone is hacking to get a one up on others.
-
Wraith Sv (@TheWraithSv) reported@SeaOfThieves So broken as usual sea of failures. Completed one did all the deeds and zero rep and also got o compensation for the loot or for turning the item to reapers, also while sailing was attacked by an invisible Meg after my rowboat from the garrison decided to disappear on stream
-
Captain BlackeyeThe2nd (Yo/Ho) (@BlackeyeThe2nd) reported@BananaStove @SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves The problem is that making the sword more available WASNT what we wanted. I wanted MORE than FIVE items to commemorate our time. I just didn't want the rewards to stop at 4k doubloons. Am I too greedy asking for, like, doubloon boots? Gimme some Doubloots for 10k or sumn, idk.
-
Conker Reloaded (@AkuUkaa) reported@SeaOfThieves I think its alright if insiders can find out bugs and report them, but if the developers fix the bugs? idk, the game is stable for now compared to other online games, it took them years to fix the underwater bug :/
-
Anto (@Anto26108697232) reported@SeaOfThieves ******* hear the community, fix your game, but probably you won’t because you are just a greedy pig
-
DavidG185 (@tctt185_dg) reported@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. 🫤

Levi wright (@wright_lev69083) reported@SeaOfThieves @NexdealSOT Why’s your game not working
-
Davrim (@DavrimTV) reported@Musicmee_ @SeaOfThieves Wish I could say the same. Lag, server hiccups, broken ladders and unable to pick up food from crates and barrels was my weekend and first go at S19
-
Hexternal (@Hexternal_) reported@IamGreen112 @JoniK90461517 @SeaOfThieves But it’s obviously nothing compared to limited time things which are gone forever. In fairness we don’t know how long the rotations will be. If they’re quick I hardly see an issue with this
-
GotItFromEbay (@GotItFromEbay) reported@LUCKYY10P Big L for @RareLtd and @SeaOfThieves. Game needs an injection of players right now and TBP gets DDOS'd off of it by cheaters. Shame too because I feel like SoT would be right up his alley of crew/friend shenanigans.

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

Artist of Thieves (@ArtistofThieves) reported@shenanigoon @SeaOfThieves People crashing out because of cosmetics, are just as cringe, as people that want them to be angry for no reason. Why do you want to cause an outrage, from people that did nothing wrong? You have issues man. Get a grip!
-
genuscustos (@neillunn85) reported@SeaOfThieves I actually think the sword pricing is fair for people who play every day and have completed every season. The rest actually seems cheap. The only issue is people with 50k will have the ferrymen set so won't be using the sword anyway
-
Hawii (@Hawii1931) reported@SeaOfThieves I am so tired of sudden server changes every 10 minutes could u please FIX that ????

Artist of Thieves (@ArtistofThieves) reported@Giovann69642526 @SeaOfThieves The content is far from ready. It still has many issues.
-
Maddie D. (@Madymaddie9) reported@SeaOfThieves Can you fix your freakishly toxic player base?? I just got spawn killed a dozen times and got hit with "this is the point of the game" playing this game is exhausting. I can't even enjoy the thing you've added because im tok busy getting run up on by sweats
-
Jack Meadows (@OwnerJMDesigns) reported@SeaOfThieves are there issues with being able to log-in on PS5 to your servers to be able to play the game ?
-
PELL 365 (@pell_colin) reported@SeaOfThieves The deed for act one for damaging someone with a cannonball in a faction battle is not working, I’ve damaged people multiple times and even killed someone with one, any chance we can get this addressed when possible? Thank you!
-
W0ty (@W0ty__) reported@Lotus_Koril @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob Right after i posted my innitial tweet, i got dm from countless of people telling me more stuff about this whole problem. But they are afraid to speak out, bcs they are scared to be canceled, or to lose their boatswains, hats, gloves....
-
Travis Touchdown (@Gholdyi) reported@2old4stream @SeaOfThieves worst part is you are getting hated by the community as soon as you mention issues about what rare is doing, you have no right to be a more competent person at spotting evident gameplay design problems than them. now we are stuck with rare listening to the wrong people
-
MemeVS (@MMVSSOT) reported@Lukitch59 @SeaOfThieves The Trident had time in Insiders to be balanced, yet it still went live unchanged. That suggests it wasn’t missed it just wasn’t prioritized. Insiders exists to catch these issues before launch. So unless the developers were blindsided, I feel that it’s likely to stay as it is.
