  • AidanKa68499438 Aidan Kane (@AidanKa68499438) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey guys maybe wanna fix your game why is it when I cancel the fighting arena mode that it still shoves me into a match when I’m doing normal Athena’s quests care to explain why your game is full of bugs but not address them?

  • DrakiousDerg Drakious (@DrakiousDerg) reported

    Having a odd issue with both main game Sea of Thieves and the Insider copy. They freeze on the black screen upon launch. I was playing both just fine yesterday and now suddenly I can't. Has this issue happened before with anyone else? #SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • regiuum Regiuum (@regiuum) reported

    @SadBarnacleBoy @YetiSOT @SeaOfThieves Not hackers, it’s a glitch right now that rare somehow allowed into the game. Typical rare not testing anything before releasing the update!

  • JulianFuchs15 DichterNox (@JulianFuchs15) reported

    @FaZezima @SeaOfThieves How should they fix it?

  • Ac3Nigthmare Ac3 (@Ac3Nigthmare) reported

    @CSM_318 @legilimanzy @SeaOfThieves I assume you mean sword lunge and timed jump? I believe the official stance on this is it is an unintended feature. They don't know how to take it out of the game so they allow it. If they come out and say it is an exploits they are working to fix, then yes 100%

  • FaZezima Zezima FA (@FaZezima) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Yo.... SOT can you fix your matchmaking or tweet about how broken it is right now?

  • Xw0nd3rmanX Xw0nd3rmanX (@Xw0nd3rmanX) reported

    @NoisyButters @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I beg of you,ive played since the first couple months, I'm on xbox one, every other time I get around a ship in battle the game completely freezes for over 3 seconds. Fix this. It's not on me. I know a group that's stopped playing cause of it.

  • Xw0nd3rmanX Xw0nd3rmanX (@Xw0nd3rmanX) reported

    @RareLtd @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves please fix this game bug, I completely frozen for near 3 seconds two separate times while playing on xbox one. Idk what's going on but I know a large group around me that's uninstalled because of this bug. I'm about to as well.

  • FaZezima Zezima FA (@FaZezima) reported

    Please Fix your PVP matchmaking on America Servers... people waiting 30mins-1hr with no fight! @SeaOfThieves

  • HoloCatHead Holo-Cat Head (@HoloCatHead) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How the game'***** detection and collisions keep bugging out making the Blunderbuss a complete gamble and going up some stairs on your ship a challenge. Also the notifications and ship banners are broken again.

  • EddieThe_Bear EddieTheBear (@EddieThe_Bear) reported

    @SoT_Support Ahoy mateys! With a recent bug, my microphone no longer works for others in #SeaOfThieves. It sounds like a blurry mess. I've tried everything on my end, so I will just wait for a fix.

  • HobeJoshua Joshua Hobé (@HobeJoshua) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Maybe fix the game? The new update is not working ( nothing new there )

  • scandalousape Jude Rice (@scandalousape) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please fix your npc's, I can't stock up at an outpost half the time

  • Chazzypoofs ChazzyPoofs (@Chazzypoofs) reported

    @YooKaydw @SeaOfThieves You're acting like Blunder bombs have not been in the game for years now. I don't see anything wrong with them, depending on how you use them and your opponents use them, adjust your strats. Blunder bombs are not an issue, compared to hit reg.

  • TheeIrish Thee_Irishman (@TheeIrish) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Cool, fix the game or at least tell us you have plans to fix it

  • NamelessWitcher Yoshineta Fan (@NamelessWitcher) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the ******* game. they are all exploiting the shore of gold to make an insta win

  • flamemind10 FlameMind (@flamemind10) reported

    @Evilslither1 @SeaOfThieves yeah, right now it is a matter of luck, and those issues seem to be more frequent in some servers than others

  • flamemind10 FlameMind (@flamemind10) reported

    @Evilslither1 @SeaOfThieves people exploiting the ferry to be inmortal, people using the shores of gold to cheat the pvp system and win battles with no effort, people spawncamping invaders with 2 or more ships so they have no chance of fighting back, and many other problems

  • JeolladoDaimyo JeonlladoDaimyo (@JeolladoDaimyo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You know this kind of play with fire doesn't matter, right? The vast majority of users are protesting, and if you deal with it later, you can't regain trust. Everyone knows about the problem with SEASON 8 and it's a mistake

  • sitrishh Sitrish (@sitrishh) reported

    @MWSlayerX @SeaOfThieves @Sportzzmama He’s definitely hacking, some of those shots should’ve had him. def a big issue currently in the game, not the first player that does this.

  • sjack4231 Sean Jackson (@sjack4231) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Rare we all know about the captaincy ship wright supply 'glitch' can you either remove it or better yet 'legalize' it and just allow each crewmen to buy supplies now that they are need more than ever with the hourglass?

  • ghostboy20 Matthew 👻 (@ghostboy20) reported

    @ItzTarte @legilimanzy @SeaOfThieves It hasn't been patched, no update has been brought out fixing any issues. Tho we'll see it patched sometime soon

  • Ac3Nigthmare Ac3 (@Ac3Nigthmare) reported

    The problem with all the posts about the exploits to the #SeaOfThieves PVP queue system, is it is just showing more **** people how to exploit. I never would have thought of these on my own, and now I know all of them.

  • DJOuterCore Jesse Carpenter (@DJOuterCore) reported

    @UlfricDrake @legilimanzy @SeaOfThieves IF they fix matchmaking

  • CSM_318 CSM_318 (@CSM_318) reported

    @Ac3Nigthmare @legilimanzy @SeaOfThieves By that same logic they should ban everyone using jumpthrust glitch

  • Gilli_GilliTTV Gilli_Gilli (@Gilli_GilliTTV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves how do I fix long black screens so I can stop loading in after I sunk?

  • Washingtond_33 Darnell Washington (@Washingtond_33) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I am having this issue. But with swords instead. I’m getting hit miles away from people

  • FangWyte Liger (@FangWyte) reported

    @SeaOfThieves have ran into a few crews now that are using an invincibility glitch to board and hold our anchor down. Has anyone else seen this?

  • Rueckkoppler Rueckkoppler (@Rueckkoppler) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Rare, fix the issue with defenders camping in the red sea at the Shores of Gold. They're passively leveling up their "pvp" faction without doing any of it. And punish them as well, please.
