Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @Daniel75986190 @SeaOfThieves I investigated this problem for four days and captured the problem in various communities and made data to derive it. But Rare says he'll play games and listen to feedback over the weekend, blindfolded and deafened. They say they want to win an award at Steam. They're out of mind

  • CptDazzen Captain Dazzen 🏴‍☠️ (@CptDazzen) reported

    @SamuelCFord1017 @itsSandromeda @SeaOfThieves Like the alliance issue. Don't get me wrong it reminds me of a good old pirate ambush on the seas. But the intent was to have a fair fight I thought the dev's said. Alliance ambushes can stay in the main game. Hourglass interaction should end alliances and tall tales imo.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @GREENRA56347271 @SeaOfThieves SBmm is not working properly and the players' skills are not evenly distributed, but the design is as if it were distributed evenly, so users of extremes are tasting hell and heaven.

  • Capt_Vicarious Mike'l T00L l'Sillaman (@Capt_Vicarious) reported

    @LEGION1TE @SeaOfThieves I'll stick with Wreckfest and Stuntman. The reasons I'm broken as badly as I am... Lol

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SadBarnacleBoy @SeaOfThieves Even though they went through the arena, they didn't make an anti-cheat program and didn't fix the same bug, so the bug in the arena was transferred as it was. Most users are using hack and ESP software, but there are many more users who are using it

  • Brutaljuice Carlos (@Brutaljuice) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Nothing. The lag in these matches suck.

  • CaptPilotes Capitán Pilotes (@CaptPilotes) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm enjoying combat and fighting other crews is so fun. However, exploits are killing the experience for lots of users so I hope you fix them soon. The Captaincy Supply exploit is leting crews fill their barrels with +99 blunders which makes blunder spamming so easy.

  • BeardBerserk 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐤 (@BeardBerserk) reported

    @designdeity2 @SeaOfThieves i keep getting application error

  • Brionne_Person Alley (@Brionne_Person) reported

    @JeolladoDaimyo @SeaOfThieves Sounds like a you problem

  • Tyan1_ Tÿan1 (@Tyan1_) reported

    @chrishoulden86 @GreenBeanStream @SeaOfThieves At no time did I insult him, it was just a grammar error so to speak

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @Brionne_Person @SeaOfThieves I don't think so Perhaps your problem is that you are ********** playing Pokémon 🥹

  • nomezilla Nomezilla (@nomezilla) reported

    @YooKaydw @SeaOfThieves Yes it's been a thing for a while but not always easy to counter if they spam & target. Just cuz it's been around doesn't mean it isn't a problem now. Like any game, weapons need to be balanced & rn they're not. Didn't have this issue in arena cuz set supplies works for pvp mode

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves There's nothing, there's something I hate the most, forcing people to do something. Season 8 forces PvP-hating users to force PvP because only PvP users can receive rewards. Reddit, Discord, Discussion Forum, already raising issues everywhere. You know what i means

  • ThatOneAce723 Austin Cody (@ThatOneAce723) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The amount of lag since this update is unbelievable, literally makes the game unplayable. Thank you for ruining my experience.

  • UltimateX12_ UltimateX12_ (@UltimateX12_) reported

    I'm falling out of love with SoT because of the amount of complaining in the community. It's actually ridiculous that we are nerfing things that don't need nerfing but leaving alone the actual problems. @SeaOfThieves #SeaOfThieves #GettingSickOfIt

  • CapnNoBeards The Pasta Pirate (@CapnNoBeards) reported

    @WolfAshen @SeaOfThieves Blunderbuss isn’t the problem

  • beerslol hafe low (@beerslol) reported

    @itzpoppyseed @YooKaydw @SeaOfThieves Offering seemingly simple solutions to a fundamental problem without counter-play is a cop-out. If something is too simple to achieve with large value versus any other method its called being "overpowered." Game balance through risk/reward values are paramount.

  • 13SJG13 ¹³ SJG ¹³ (@13SJG13) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Would be nice if we could get there, instead server loading times are **** and skillbased matchmaking is nonexistent. Fix it.

  • LavenderOrc2799 LavenderOrc2799 (@LavenderOrc2799) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey pls fix where people can't join fights in the faction thing

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @Daniel75986190 @SeaOfThieves He didn't reveal how he set up the sbmm in the first place, but it's only been five days, so the reason why it doesn't match is that the design itself is wrong. It also makes the game extremely tiring and time consuming, such as the whole bug and tdm crew hacking problems.

  • thereaIrealfake therealrealfake (@thereaIrealfake) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hey sot, i am experiencing a glitch where loot keeps disappearing on my ship. I looked for help on reddit and i see allot of other players are having the same issues. Just wanted to let people know.

  • LaikaIvanova Laika Ivanova (@LaikaIvanova) reported

    @YooKaydw @SeaOfThieves This has always been like this, wonder why suddenly now it has become an issue

  • BeardBerserk 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐤 (@BeardBerserk) reported

    @designdeity2 @SeaOfThieves nope nevermind didnt fix it. it brought the website up but when i logged in it did it again lol

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @iT0mac @SeaOfThieves It's a technical problem, but if you don't have enough technology, you can create a game system that fits that level. It is foolish to try to create PvP game mode without even making PvE games properly, leaving existing problems unattended. For Rare, SoT is kids are no joke

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves And write down all of the current SoT's dog-like problems here So that new or returning users can quickly quit this crap season 8 without wasting time and find happiness at home

  • tpayne108 Tristan Kmetz (@tpayne108) reported

    @ItemsENABLED @SeaOfThieves Unfortunately, this is just a personal skill issue

  • SkivvyHoncho SkivvyHoncho (@SkivvyHoncho) reported

    @ChaarleySoT @MasterCrabs01 @SeaOfThieves It's funny. People that deny the existence of the problem (especially streamers) are probably using the cheats or...... Impossibly oblivious. Probably the former.

  • Liars__Dice Liars__Dice (@Liars__Dice) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the battle wait time first then come ask me again. Broken AF if you ask me.

  • Johnykluk Jawn (@Johnykluk) reported

    @Judrl @SeaOfThieves Yea, I was a PvP player back in a day, but the pirate-to-pirate PvP is just broken. As of now it's just unfun and I get sweats in the fights basically 24/7, can't do anything. Wish there was more ways to level it up damn, it's the most wanted feature after a new map.

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @mariusstapke @SeaOfThieves This is why I wrote the problem above. It's been a long time since the user who needs to get feedback left the game. But I don't understand why you want to get feedback from within the game
