  • Prestom16 Mr. Lemons (@Prestom16) reported

    @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves If it’s taking them this long to fix it’s obviously not an easy fix. If you really don’t like the problems with combat right now just don’t play. Complaining about it won’t do you any good

  • meIlow_fellow mali (@meIlow_fellow) reported

    @SlooperSolo @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Sure it isn't a huge problem, but the fact they fixed it once before and have ruined it again it quite disappointing. Not to mention the awful season 2 pass

  • el_caspas ElCaspas (@el_caspas) reported

    @RasaLewis @SeaOfThieves @Rafie04774950 Same problem

  • FreeThinkers_tm Free Thinkers Online (@FreeThinkers_tm) reported

    @Billyh1235 @SeaOfThieves "Just well enough" meaning to die a ton and be miserable ay other players hand for no reason at all, which is not the reason I game. When a game REQUIRES you to spend months "getting good" there is clearly something wrong. PVE servers or a passive mode would fix all of this.

  • meIlow_fellow mali (@meIlow_fellow) reported

    @SlooperSolo @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves If they have issues with hit reg don't add guns. Plain and simple, you're definitely in the wrong here

  • Xanthicirs Video Games and Politics (@Xanthicirs) reported

    @SeaOfThieves THEY'RE NOT WORKING! Everything I bought from the merchant gave me nothing.

  • BreadLoaf18 A piece of loaf (@BreadLoaf18) reported

    @UndercoverUmma @SeaOfThieves Thats not the issue... If they add the new region older consoles will not be able to play the game

  • owen25563995 awakeminotaur (@owen25563995) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I keep getting the error strawberrybeard and I can’t fix it I’m on Xbox series x and I would like help.I already uninstalled and reinstalled my game and that didn’t help

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @ooz_0000 @SeaOfThieves Not until they fix the ones they have

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @birdsurvivor1 @Voidova_0 @SeaOfThieves I'm not doubting their hard work or the fact that other updates have been amazing, but hit registration in any combat game is one of the most important mechanics and as i double gun i notice this issue more than someone who doesn't. The hit reg in this game is unbelievably bad!

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @meIlow_fellow @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Eh... I didn't say its not a problem, but its not really a pressing one.

  • Xanthicirs Video Games and Politics (@Xanthicirs) reported

    @Legolube @SeaOfThieves Wasn't the issue I was having. It was user error. I didn't know I had to press X after buying the darn things.

  • Justmy2cents11 Justmy2cents (@Justmy2cents11) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Even with 20 mil in my pockets i'm not wasting my money on these things. Supplies have never been an issue for me.

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @meIlow_fellow @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Not really. The pvp was always supposed to be kinda casual. its supposed to be a light hearted pirate adventure. Its not the game's problem. Its a problem with the mindset of all the goons that came late and mistook it for pirate call of duty lol.

  • meIlow_fellow mali (@meIlow_fellow) reported

    @SlooperSolo @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Yes sure but having hit reg issues is a server issues and is a result of lazy developing. If they can't hash out hit reg issues don't push out the update until it is optimized.

  • gusamadhi gu samadhi (@gusamadhi) reported

    @1Chenzo @AmatoryNeros117 @SeaOfThieves Remove blunder bomb dmg on other people's ship. Don't allow other people get control of your wheel. Stolen loot from pvpve servers could be worth much more. Really simple tweaks could fix all your problem against a pve server. It doesn't need to be a massive thing.

  • PiranhaYellow Yellow Piranha (@PiranhaYellow) reported

    @birdsurvivor1 @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Guys I think we have to realize is never gonna get truly fixed... the combination of servers + player ping + moving water physics + moving boat physics just makes it impossible to fix. It can maybe be improved but never fixed.

  • alatami1 Mika Alatalo (@alatami1) reported

    We did Ashen wind event and season 2 renown is not progressing at all. Still sitting level 1. Anyone else having issues with season progress in #SeaofThieves ? @SoT_Support

  • crew_comic Skeleton Crew Comic (@crew_comic) reported

    Still getting Strawberrybeard errors. What’s going on, @SoT_Support / @SeaOfThieves ?

  • Undead_Pumpkin Strangest Thing (@Undead_Pumpkin) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Servers down ?

  • Adskio1 Adskio (@Adskio1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves When i try to log in i just see loading supplies, flowed by strawberrybeard error message.

  • GViRuS84 G-Virus (@GViRuS84) reported

    @Brian_Steinman @AmatoryNeros117 @SeaOfThieves Maybe don‘t talk about something you don‘t understand? They reduced ships per server from 6 to 5 because the servers could not handle the game anymore, some problem for new areas on the map. And that won‘t change, because the game has to run on the almost 8 year old xbox one.

  • meIlow_fellow mali (@meIlow_fellow) reported

    @SlooperSolo @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Okay still even if it's casual there shouldn't be issues with hit reg. What if when digging chest you had a chance of the chest you dug just not being there? You'd be livid, just because you don't agree doesn't mean it isn't a problem

  • Prestom16 Mr. Lemons (@Prestom16) reported

    @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves If it’s so easy to fix why don’t you fix it?

  • OoLuIsoO5038 OoluisoO (@OoLuIsoO5038) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Xbox It won't let me connect, I get an error that the servers are down

  • malle_exe Malte (@malle_exe) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOURE SERVERS I WNAT TO SHOOT MY DOG OF THE SHIP

  • cshieldsk20 Kosha (@cshieldsk20) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Shores of gold is broken, Not able to access the main entrance under the statue

  • Bidudayo Bidu (@Bidudayo) reported

    @FuwwyTwash @AnakinWadley @SeaOfThieves But all other stuff in game are expensive, Im taking forever to farm enough gold to buy a new set to my ship, using this would just delay it even more. The idea is cool, but it shouldnt trouble our profit so much

  • alpozens06 Alpozens06 (@alpozens06) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Sot immediatly crashes after update My computer froze and restarted while downloading Sot, update finished but game crashes instantly How do i Solve This Issue

  • Johten01 Johten *STONE OCEAN JOJO PART 6 CONFIRMED* (@Johten01) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves So if I just sign in with my Microsoft account it should just have my SoT account there?
