  • doodrewski Drew G. (@doodrewski) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else having issues launching themselves out of the cannons? Was having the same issue just a couple days prior to the update, but since yesterday’s update it just launches you towards the back of the ship

  • AdamOzzy LUFC OZZY (@AdamOzzy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Snipe glitch is the most annoying. But season 3 is amazing. Some bugs are to be expected

  • Kflores951 Kevin Flores (@Kflores951) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I was really excited for it and it started off great but the bugs in 2nd part killed it for me. We had members stuck in rooms, couldn’t see enemy’s and it kind of killed it for me untill it gets fixed. Other then that it’s good just please fix those ASAP

  • Zynthos96 Zyn96 (@Zynthos96) reported

    @GamingTexan86 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves This, this as happened to me and my crewmate roughly 6 times now and it feels like this tall tale is a dice roll as to if I’ll be able to complete it still haven’t been able to and can’t move onto the others without this one hope they fix soon

  • Follow_14_ Valery Akulinich (@Follow_14_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Screen tearing! So far the biggest issue.

  • BrutalGaming101 Brutal Gaming (@BrutalGaming101) reported

    @SlayerEdus @SeaOfThieves It's an issue with that tall tale. Try finding a new server where someone didn't do it yet.

  • Kyobinoyo Kyobinoyo (@Kyobinoyo) reported

    @Nightmar3_real @SeaOfThieves what is broken exactly?

  • YaBoiPhantom Phantom (@YaBoiPhantom) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @dedo_deed FIX YOUR GAME!!!

  • D1G1TXL D1G1TXL (@D1G1TXL) reported

    @RoseRage32 @SeaOfThieves dang, have you tried a server hop? we got lucky and made friends with everyone that was there to avoid this problem

  • Krogbear30 Krogbear (@Krogbear30) reported

    @Didact343 @SeaOfThieves Then shoot it with your cannons. It usually takes like 12 to 15 shots to take it down. If it bites into your ship, fix the holes and bail the water, then locate where it is and turn again as necessary. Megs are basically free treasure at this point just stay near where it sinks

  • KevinToovey KevinTooveyOffical (@KevinToovey) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR KRAKEN FIGHT, GIVE US CANNON *****!

  • Xanthicirs Video Games and Politics (@Xanthicirs) reported

    @y_reen_ @phungus42 @SeaOfThieves Tons of NDAs have been broken.

  • Cky1O1 Samurai#8211 (@Cky1O1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm very pleased with the new tall tales but slight issue, the bugs are terribly inconvenient, we just started the 3rd quest when all 4 of our games crashed simultaneously, the ship crashed itself and almost sunk with all of our loot in the damned plainer, c'mon man

  • RangexSnakeater Бочков Алексей (@RangexSnakeater) reported

    @Krogbear30 @SeaOfThieves I have exactly same problem. When i trying to climb to my ship i fall down and cant escape

  • freakingbeanguy Certified Funny Man (@freakingbeanguy) reported

    thanks for the broken tall tales @SeaOfThieves i just wasted two hours of my life on this buggy garbage

  • EclipseRiggs Riggs Eclipse 🏳️‍⚧️ (ACAB-BLM) (@EclipseRiggs) reported

    @TripleKickTom @SeaOfThieves We had problems with the pully in some place too, found holding w and d for some reason made it work. No clue lol

  • XFlyer_ Master of Ancient Coin (@XFlyer_) reported

    @Mozzla_ @SeaOfThieves Same thing happened to me I got killed by an AI and it spawned me all the way close to the Devils Roar and I had to sail across the entire map to get back. Other then that I love the new TT. But plz fix it guys to were it’s one crew or one person with no other players.

  • KayyCee1416 KayCee (@KayyCee1416) reported

    @strchv @SeaOfThieves That was happening to my crew and I yesterday after the sunken pearl tall tale. I put it a ticket with rare to have it looked into. I saw a bunch of others with the same issue so hopefully it will be fixed soon!

  • Grey_Wolf_254 Reeceywright (@Grey_Wolf_254) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I had a very small issue yesterday playing season 3. Just before retrieving the head in the cage I realized that my telescope was invisible, it was still functional. Then I noticed the cage was empty and I was left confused. I reset my game and it fixed the issue.

  • YaBoiPhantom Phantom (@YaBoiPhantom) reported

    @SeaOfThieves and @SoT_Support please describe the point of the Pirates Life mode. If players can find you and sink you anyway, what’s the point of having another mode? Or is there a glitch where players can be in the same server?

  • Momrad_G Momrad🎨 (@Momrad_G) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support there are a lot of problems. The whole update is buggy. Please, if you have the time, fix them. The update and story are great. But these bugs ruin the very much

  • GnarlicBreadd kyle (@GnarlicBreadd) reported

    @Nightmar3_real @SeaOfThieves Yea that seems to be the common theme, everything else has some minor bugs but working fine but not tt 2. So I guesss they will get a hot fix for that quick

  • As_i_Sed As i Sed (@As_i_Sed) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the second pirates of the Caribbean tell tale.

  • Alejand12025874 Alejandro Hernandez (@Alejand12025874) reported

    @SeaOfThieves me and some friends are trying to do the 2nd pirates life tall tale and we keep getting stuck on the part were we have to shoot mermaids at the broken boat and we have the right combination but the water won’t rise. What else could we do to fix it

  • AndrewTCollier Drew Collier (@AndrewTCollier) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Has anyone mentioned the eye of reach glitch? Sometimes when you aim the scope doesn’t come up and instead you just end up looking at the back of the gun and can’t see.

  • Davey028 Davey Morris (@Davey028) reported

    @WCPsycho @SeaOfThieves Tall Tale 2 can get soft locked if someone has already done it before you and you won't be able to progress further. Only way to fix it is by switching servers and hoping you're the first one to do it.

  • Bogd4_ Bogd4 (@Bogd4_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves PLS FIX RANDOMLY DROWNING FROM SECOND TALL TALE ITS SO ANNOYING!!!!!
