  @SeaOfThieves Hey, maybe its time invest in some anti cheat. 5 cheaters in 2 days is a problem

  @CaptainSalerio @SeaOfThieves I don't think that is what's causing the issues. Like you said Arena didn't have it but still had stupid long queue times. This seems hit and miss right now, like sometimes I barely see the underwater tunnel before I get matched, other times it's 10 mins. Seems more like a bug.

  @TippToppHansiI @SeaOfThieves Duo's are either just sweats or my most recent fight, a blatant cheater speedhacking to get boards cuz he kept missing or I knocked him off. Matchmaking system doesn't work. Solo's are way more fun than this abysmal system lmao. I'm really not enjoying this update with its issues

  Thanks to @BehavingBeardly for fixing the in game chat for me . Apparently last @SeaOfThieves update had knocked a setting in sound . So if anyone is having this issue go to windows sounds and recording go to advance and set it to 16 bit 48000 dvd

  @SeaOfThieves other ships should not be able to fight you or enter the circle while you are in a battle. That is how you fix the alliance servers.

  @MadEyeMuldo @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd 1. It is not skill based matchmaking, just like the rest of the game 2. if they added skill based matchmaking then you’d be waiting a lot longer than you already are and 3. i don’t like to sound like a broken record but the fun of all games is learning to “get good”

  @SeaOfThieves I've been getting horrendous lag when I go into battle. It's never been like this.

  @LukeHudsonKing3 @SeaOfThieves That was kind of my experience last night. which wouldn't be a problem, losing helps you get better, if it weren't for the fact that EVERY crew win or lose was a toxic PoS, and more than half of them used slurs.

  @keeyaaaa Tonight I tried Season 8 matchmaking for Guardians of Athenas Fortune on Xbox and it took more than 20 minutes to find a match on a galleon. Are there any plans to fix matchmaking for controller only players? #SeaOfThieves

  @TEWFAFO @JimmyEatRose @SeaOfThieves They said that pve servers are not what this game should be. I want for others to have fun. But not by option to remove pvp. Thats not gatekipping. I want you to play with us. You cant accept rules of the game thats what. Problem is with pve that its demand a lot from players.

  @SeaOfThieves Yo, dear developers. If I sail into the Storm my game is freezing / crashing. If you find a way to fix this, I would be very happy about it

  So in German the Guardian of Fortune is translated to something more like "Guardians of Luck". Isn't Athenas Fortune about "wealth" and not about "luck"? There are sometime translation errors in german Sea of Thieves so i am not surprised if thats an error #SeaOfThieves

  @MadEyeMuldo @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd It’s doesn’t work, pretty simple. If rare doesn’t fix the glaring issues quickly the mid tier and newer players will fall off. Then it will only be the sweats left, they can fight amongst themselves.

  @Falcon59875668 @GetWetSports @SeaOfThieves So just logging in at main port and then getting attacked right after login makes us bad? Sounds good chief

  Fix your ******* matchmaking @SeaOfThieves first ship we were put up against had over 180 days played vs. is with 35 days played this game is straight bullshit. Just got on because my crew has actual lives and goes up against sweats that have no lives except play this game

  @n1ckodesign @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd OK so....they're hanging out at Reapers? Shooting each other to get points? Like what, I don't see a issue here. If u had a picture of them surrounding you then I'd understand but like....why?

  @SeaOfThieves Why don't you listen to me no matter how many times I keep talking about the problem? Are you being stubborn and having a mental victory and pleasure against the users?

  @SeaOfThieves Around 6 hours ago, I was playing with my friend, we started new around 1 week ago and we got lots of gems, pearls, and stuff. Out of nowhere the game crashed, as we were sailing back to an outpost, we glitched through our ships into the sea, then we get the error

  @SeaOfThieves Morning guys, there's a problem with XP reward for the new pvp. It doesn't show for some reason any progress after wining and banking the hourglass.

  @MadEyeMuldo @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd If rare doesn’t fix the glaring issues this mode is as good as dead. Once the average and newer players fall off it will only be the sweats left in matchmaking, hope they enjoy it.
