  • kman546 Kaiden G (@kman546) reported

    @andreasspindle2 @SeaOfThieves Yeah like honestly when the server’s are down I just do something else until they come back up it’s honestly not a big deal like if they fix something they fix something they don’t they don’t

  • BoiBitty Bitty Boi (@BoiBitty) reported

    @Hidden3lite @SeaOfThieves 1st off, they can't just fix the servers over night. 2nd, they literally CANT make the servers much better because Microsoft is requiring them to keep support for Xbox 1

  • MrsFiGGiEs Alex 💜🐮 @ Advanced lvl 3 ✨ (@MrsFiGGiEs) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Name: FiGGiEs Favourite snack: Burnt Bananas Holiday spot: Thieves Haven Go-to equipment: Blunder, Eye of Reach Preferred ship set: Obsidian Favourite colour: Purple Trading Company of choice: Reapers Catchphrase: Oh no, our ship, it’s broken

  • xYoungBullx xYoungBull95x (@xYoungBullx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Servers are down on a regular basis no need to say it. How bout you actually make the game work and be fun again. Seems like all the dev's are beating there meat behind there desks. Matchmaking is garbage u join a game for everyone to leave please for the love of god fix the game

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hopefully we get some server stability Improvements before they start adding a bunch of new content but I doubt it tbh. So far @RareLtd has been poking fun at the ongoing server issues but personally I don't think it's very funny.

  • yanfan111 J (@yanfan111) reported

    @BoiBitty @Hidden3lite @SeaOfThieves Don't care, they're game is dying b/c of this severs. If they can't fix it the game will die.

  • BoiBitty Bitty Boi (@BoiBitty) reported

    @gaygiorno @slippery_dogo @SeaOfThieves Not really. Like I said, extreme comparison, but it was the first that came to mind. You're looking at the "problem," but do nothing about it yourself

  • SeeDeathMore SeeDeath (@SeeDeathMore) reported

    @_ObscureTyler @SeaOfThieves I honestly [don’t] believe the reach to be as outrageous as many people make it out to be, as I doubt even RareLTD to be stupid enough to implement such a thing, I think it’s more the back-tracking which makes it appear so, so, so broken.

  • TylaGratton Tyla Gratton (@TylaGratton) reported

    @BoiBitty @invader__alu @SeaOfThieves Have both, problem solved

  • IZEDxI ized (@IZEDxI) reported

    @JamesON49020782 @SeaOfThieves Hey I've ran into issues with customer support as well. Were you able to file a complaint and having it reviewed? I think about doing the same. I love this gamer but the customer service is abyssmal and it seems like they care 0 about individual players.

  • taintedbuthole Ryan (@taintedbuthole) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why does this game never work on sundays? I consistently have this problem l. Every Sunday. What’s up with that?

  • Squall_v2 Thomas Greene (@Squall_v2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Make it past the sign in screen.

  • ElvishCostello Elliot Adams 💀📚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@ElvishCostello) reported

    @iamtygrah @SeaOfThieves tbh I'm seeing them a lot less lately, I think people are getting used to the fact that you can just have a vague awareness of your surroundings instead. Would like to see the option to customise the shape of some sails though, it'd even out the issue either way.

  • SundropJo SundropJo☀️ (@SundropJo) reported

    Just tried playing @SeaOfThieves but the severe lag got so bad I smashed into a rock, went thru said rock and was sinking but my bucket bugged out and would not empty. Got on a new server then got kicked out due to Microsoft error. This is getting so bad

  • Noah00060885 Noah (@Noah00060885) reported

    @SeaOfThieves would’ve loved to enjoy community day! however i only played for a couple of hours due to server issues… not cool

  • basically_kobe gabagoo (@basically_kobe) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the servers. Then I'll grab my gear

  • Aero157 Joshua Wilken (@Aero157) reported

    @SeaOfThieves MF'r probably getting that coralbeard error....

  • SweetSandMan SweetSandman (@SweetSandMan) reported

    @SeeDeathMore @_ObscureTyler @SeaOfThieves The reach would probably be fine if the backtracking wasn't such a problem. But, backtracking is a huge problem. Until that gets resolved, they should either reduce the range on the sword by a hair or get rid of the stun lock.

  • _ObscureTyler Opperating 🏴‍☠️ (@_ObscureTyler) reported

    @SeeDeathMore @SeaOfThieves The reach on the sword is insane because of backtracks and broken hit boxes like you said, which I think is the worst part

  • mixedsucks Afro (@mixedsucks) reported

    @SeaOfThieves SOT servers down? what else is new?

  • StoogeAussie Aussie Stooge (@StoogeAussie) reported

  • Thegaer2 Thegaer (@Thegaer2) reported

    @The1AMparty @CaptainBroly1 @SeaOfThieves Nope, now its even ingame. What youre describing are server problems that i'm sure that they are working hard on fixing it.

  • Zeredin1X Zeredin1X (@Zeredin1X) reported

    @SeaOfThieves If you come to this post to complain, please leave. From my time playing this game, every game has issues and nothing is ever perfect. There's always going to be times when things go wrong, maybe even a lot, but at least @RareLtd have continued to give and not give up. Thank you.

  • Solo_Swaff Swaff 🎮 (@Solo_Swaff) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Here's hoping that we don't have any server issues for the third weekend in a row. See if the eaves is a great game but I don't think they are staffed enough to handle the influx of players that have built up over the past few months for the weekends

  • Zach89358725 evo (@Zach89358725) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Refunding game servers down more then there up

  • Loki88340591 Loki (@Loki88340591) reported

    @Thebigchessee @SeaOfThieves Servers go down from errors: "Ya'll so bad, my god this is ridiculous" Servers get maintenance: "Omg, how dare you try fix what we complain about" 🤡🤡🤡
