    @SeaOfThieves you should have done the same to Season-8 you bring a PvP Update, and never-ever bring ja fix for ALL the PvP issues.. * Reduced Server Performance * Ranged and Melee Weapon Hit Detection (including Cannons) good job.... (watch at my account, i buy all the stuff...)

  • wasadeftt 𝕨𝖆𝖘𝖆𝖉𝖊𝖋𝖙 🇫🇷🏁 (@wasadeftt) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Every single battle was awful. - no skill-based match making - server lags - interaction issues - bug exploit (god mode...) - cheaters everywhere

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @Burning_tardis @kehylp @SeaOfThieves It doesn't matter if there's no sbmm or not. Stupid users just demand that matchmaking be done quickly, but the essential problem with this is that it's just not being caught because there are no people.

  • Basch_1982 I00I0Dale (@Basch_1982) reported

    Does anyone else have the same problem as me? I wish we could talk. My account of 2018 cosmetics is basically complete up to now and the 177 week insder includes all the DLC. I am not willing to be blocked just because of an account I don't know @seaofthieves

  • OuterGoose321 ❄️Mater❄️ (@OuterGoose321) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I've had 2 battles so far. The first one I got boarded and got sunk instantly and the other one was literally just running from some guys because we ran out of supplies and then we just left the circle and sunk. Fix your stupid skill based matchmaking.

  • lennybr09839124 lenny brown (@lennybr09839124) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Take alot of time and fix some of the legit things that need fixed.....please

  • BadWolfAlec BadWolfAlec (@BadWolfAlec) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The game has now become my own personal rage potion on demand🙃 adventuring the Seas? Error code 404. Just wanting to sail the seas peacefully with your player 2? Error code 404. Make it past 5 minutes of game play without being killed? Error code 404.

  • SOLO120fps SOLO (@SOLO120fps) reported

    @GucciGa52892936 @SeaOfThieves They did say the servers were going offline at 1pm lol so that sounds like a you problem my friend 🤪

  • GardnerFilm Andrew Gardner (@GardnerFilm) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Would also appreciate some matchmaking fixes soon. Or some word about them soon. The system in Australia is basically broken for me. Can hardly ever get a match.

  • Killian54459714 KillianJones (@Killian54459714) reported

    @Kawaiicaroline1 @RavenCyph3rr @SeaOfThieves i teleport too, despite my ping being the same, its server issue

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @Owlet_in_SoT @SeaOfThieves If i have learned anything from games, smacking it with a wrench or hammer will fix it!

  • KyleisLil_Kahn SecondKyleGaming (@KyleisLil_Kahn) reported

    @Falcon59875668 @SoT_Support I agree SoG glitch needs to be fixed as all glitches must. Sadly a player reported me for testing and finding glitches. I find bugs and report them to @SeaOfThieves Report the bugs/glitches not the players..unless the same player abuses a glitch repeatedly 💯

  • time2beleive Mj (@time2beleive) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I hope they are offline so they have time to fix every hit reg, server stability, matchmaking issue possible.

  • InsaneSpyro Spyro_Devilwitch (@InsaneSpyro) reported

    @SeaOfThieves except invasions are broken and divers most of the time will fight other divers, 90% of the time i don't get someone defending treasure but some one who also dived. most of the time the 2 ships will spawn north of smugglers bay with no treasure

  • Carroott_ Matt (@Carroott_) reported

    @wasadeftt @SeaOfThieves I don’t see how you come across that many cheaters, been playing since day 1 and only been killed by them abt 3x, sounds like a skill issue, honour your French heritage and surrender

  • KyleisLil_Kahn SecondKyleGaming (@KyleisLil_Kahn) reported

    Bug fixes? Hopefully Shores of Gold and some other Season 8 issues revolving around PvP get fixed with this maintenance. #SeaofThieves @SeaOfThieves I feel bad for GlitchHD being the victim to me testing the Shores of Gold. But I did sink myself and seems it isn’t fixed yet 😭

  • RyuugaKun1 🎮Ryuuga Kun (Ryuu)🌸 (@RyuugaKun1) reported

    Having seen @SeaOfThieves turning off their servers for urgent "tinkering", with the amount of bugs (not features) and other various non working parts, just how long would they have to be offline for to actually fix everything?? Months? A year maybe? Tell me your guess.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves In many cases, the system did not work properly because the alliance crew created an experience farm and induced matching in the Red Sea. What's funny and dramatic about using Glitch to take everything from my ship invincible? All my bananas evaporating?

  • austinleefarmer Austinlee (@austinleefarmer) reported

    @Kawaiicaroline1 @SeaOfThieves You must never pvp on a sloop. Like I can predict after waiting under the water for 2 hours to get into a match cause matchmaking is broken, that after that I get into the match and fight for 30 mins just for the server to shut down

  • stez stez (@stez) reported

    @OndrejBakan @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Sorry, the 15 minute notice was not enough for us to finish all the quests and sell or even hide the loot. I reckon 30 minutes (ingame) or even when you login the first time would be more appropriate. Thanks for the link though. I contacted the support.

  • Kawaiicaroline1 Caroline🥐 (@Kawaiicaroline1) reported

    @RavenCyph3rr @SeaOfThieves Never had the problem pre season 8.

  • Kawaiicaroline1 Caroline🥐 (@Kawaiicaroline1) reported

    @JerseyDee22 @SeaOfThieves Sometimes ill be repairing on bottom deck, and I can feel my character packet lossing/teleporting side to side. I have good internet, this isnt a me issue, as demonstrated by multiple people who have liked my tweet complaining about it.

  • Evilslither1 cpt teach (@Evilslither1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves And the worst part is the Dev dont even Say a Word about there plan to solve the problem of those ppl cheating to farm Win they just use the ban Hammer againt the ppl that d'O pvp and are not Spawn camping and not being toxic but all the pve alliance can cheat all they whant....

  • Basch_1982 I00I0Dale (@Basch_1982) reported

    4 years of sea of thieves, I should be saying goodbye, just yesterday I received the message that I was permanently banned from sea of thieves, the reason is, I used a backup account to evade the ban. Has anyone had the same problem as me? I'm confused #SeaOfThieves #sotshot

  • Falcon59875668 Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @KyleisLil_Kahn @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Yeah, but you know. When someone invide you he doeasnt know that you find glitches. I think player who report you thought that you abuse this glitch

  • Connor9000603 Pyro (@Connor9000603) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Had to fight some cheaters using shores of gold glitch and I managed to sink them

  • GardnerFilm Andrew Gardner (@GardnerFilm) reported

    @LtLoot @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd It’s completely broken. Any acknowledgement from the developers would be nice.

  • Kharjo19 Kharjo (@Kharjo19) reported

    How am I now getting skelly/ghost curse crews in about half of my fights. I'm good but im not someone who has played twice as much as me good. Im only at lvl 60 reaper. Is there a plan to rebalance/fix matchmaking @SeaOfThieves? I'm waiting so long just to lose every few fights.

  • Meirno3 Meirno 💙💛 (@Meirno3) reported

    @WolfSaber913 @SeaOfThieves There's a new glitch that sometimes causes all your legend of the veil loot to disappear completely.
