  • 1Chenzo Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    @Usrnxme @SeaOfThieves so you were doing a vault - and as assume as a emissary - and got attacked by a reaper AND a sloop attacked you? Sounds like a you problem. You can finish the vault and get back and check your map within a minute or two.

  • LeaTheaux Laynyd (@LeaTheaux) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why the servers are lagging to 20 to 259 ping when we are close to people ?

  • Belle_SoT Belle Legend of the Deep and The Sea of Thieves (@Belle_SoT) reported

    @swdrawings_nl @SeaOfThieves @sotshotcentral Head to the broken down galli and hide there until there gone. If you are captured by the reapers tell them nothing.

  • vanna3333 Vanna (@vanna3333) reported

  • Grootey1 Grootey (@Grootey1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX HIT REG PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Drizzop1 Drizzop (@Drizzop1) reported

    @SmiIey_Faces @SeaOfThieves Guess I’m not that upset cause there a lot bigger problems with the game then what they’re always focused on.. I just quit the game because I’m tired of pve updates and nothing that helps the game as a whole pvp and pve.. plus hitreg and ads bug make me wonder why guns exist in

  • Aliza_smithgfx Alizasmith (@Aliza_smithgfx) reported

    @happyf333tz @SeaOfThieves -Hey! I can provide you a better service Just HMU.

  • Usrnxme Matt (@Usrnxme) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix server hopping. I just checked the map before getting to vault and no reapers. 10min later a reapers 5 shows up out of nowhere and barely kills us only bc they had help from a random sloop. How about you take the reaper down a level or even reset to 1 for hopping.

  • frankcasillas50 Frank (@frankcasillas50) reported

    I have a 500/500 Fiber connection in California connected with ethernet on the Series X and I’m constantly lagging and rubber banding on the seas, Not sure if its the servers or what but its super frustrating 😕 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • wil58532329 Neal Wilson (@wil58532329) reported

    @SeaOfThieves arena not working. Matchmaking fails all morning

  • stordyr Stordyr Gaming (@stordyr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves We played through it on day 1.... then back to the Arena-grind since you decided that instead of fixing arena to shut it down. I'm not happy. 2% was not the time spent because no one was interested. It was 2% because it's broken.

  • DeadMansSquid Davy Jones (@DeadMansSquid) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @micromads Speaking of the ashen curse, have you guys been working on a fix for the bug?

  • storiesofpetey Stories of Petey (@storiesofpetey) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I play on the Xbox one x, my husband plays on Xbox series x. Until recently we had no problems playing together. Now whenever we try we get disconnected and get the allmondbeard error. Help?

  • Nemesis2K -Dreamcast Forever- (@Nemesis2K) reported

    @Bah02027040 @Fluffyfatman @SeaOfThieves I agree, one is a real issue.

  • TheGreatIkaika Dankaimon (@TheGreatIkaika) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Please fix the glitches with the Shrouded Island rewards. I'm injured and can't play like I used to and having to re-do a quest over and over is just too much...it's heart breaking. Just wanted a little slice of SoT :(

  • TruaxRiley riley truax (@TruaxRiley) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i just finished all buried treasure commendations and its not giving me my achievement. is it just a server issue or is this a bug

  • Drizzop1 Drizzop (@Drizzop1) reported

    @SmiIey_Faces @SeaOfThieves I personally think this is stupid.. I understand a lot of peeps want these weapons but now there’s two sets of these weapons making the original less unique as well as you don’t have to grind nor play the game no where near as much to get these… wow has this problem rn

  • humble2150 🐟 Humble 🍍 (@humble2150) reported

    @Pandxxxxx @SeaOfThieves I considered it but I’m not great at PvP. I experience frequent lag spikes during the day when I have other people on my internet. So I’d only be able to play at night which would end up taking me even longer.

  • zekecoker Zeke Coker (@zekecoker) reported

    @SeaOfThieves pleaee try to fix load times and voice chat for Xbox players 🙏

  • MmSkittlesMm C (@MmSkittlesMm) reported

    Has anyone got the Runtime error on Sea of Thieves and know how to fix it? #SeaOfThieves

  • emerson_sparky Emerson Sparky (@emerson_sparky) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i was expecting a little more work from you. the rune tablet won't spawn. i did the adventure 8x. nothing. stop making crap skins to sell on the emporium and FIX YOUR GAME. please.

  • jamester0722 James Mikolajewski (@jamester0722) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves My wife & I are running into the Allmond Beard server issue. I'm on an Xbox Series X and she's on my old Xbox One X. We used to play together all the time, each on our own screen. But now it crashes any time we try to play together. Any suggestions?

  • Ckstearns Uniapeg/Crystal (@Ckstearns) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Community day was and is a great idea. But there were a LOT of problems and glitches. It needs work. I'm hopeful the next one will be better.

  • iloveponies15 Iloveponies15 (@iloveponies15) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves How bout you fix your ****** shrouded islands quest? How are you guys this stupid to make a rune drop randomly. Do any of you even play this game? Nobody wants to play a tale more than once. They all suck. The story isn't interesting. Everyone at rare should be fired

  • JordanKgames JordanK (@JordanKgames) reported

    .@SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I bought an appearance change potion from the pirate emporium and every time I go to change my character the game locks up... How do I fix this?

  • chriswillson8 chris willson (@chriswillson8) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey I know you had issues before in the past with the pirate appearance potion but seems to be still an issue as I've purchased one but can't use it even with logging out, I'm cloud playing currently. Says to download it from library but nothing is there? Help?

  • JamesON49020782 JON (@JamesON49020782) reported

    @Loki88340591 @SeaOfThieves Perhaps you didn’t understand. Many faced the same issues over that weekend. 🥴

  • SkinHunger55 Azarri (@SkinHunger55) reported

    @floydbishop @SeaOfThieves Just wanna let u know, id most likely crash the ship a few times if i tried doing that lmao

  • GoldenBoy630 GoldenBoy630 (@GoldenBoy630) reported

    @Bounty_Map @SeaOfThieves You know, im trying to be professional here's, but next time you want to accuse someone during a SoTShot of using Photoshop, which is totally against the rules, I would dm the person on how exactly they did it, because I would have no problem showing you how exactly I did it.
