Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • demonte4509ui thebaitgodyouhate (@demonte4509ui) reported

    @manshoon03 @SeaOfThieves They just said the issue is the imbalance in those in each faction. It wont pit you against someone in your faction UNLESS it cant find anyone

  • sjack4231 Sean Jackson (@sjack4231) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is there anything in the pipes for the supplies? The biggest issue is the wait times, the second is that supplies take just as long to get if you do more than the spawn outpost. (And cost an arm and a leg for newer players)

  • CalebBeyette Caleb Beyette (@CalebBeyette) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Let’s see if they actually fix it or if it’s another broken thing like captaincy was.

  • Owlet_in_SoT Owlet (@Owlet_in_SoT) reported

    @Spherecube @SeaOfThieves I would have been faster if Photoshop didn't crash.

  • DoctorMarik DoctorMarik (@DoctorMarik) reported

    @SeaOfThieves While these changes are good I don't think it's going to fix the core of the issue, which is some folks just don't want to waste their time with the new game mode. Don't get me wrong, I think the game mode is a good idea 100% and yeah it's fun...if you consecutively win. --

  • imhungry85 chilledoutchris (@imhungry85) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your match making ffs

  • JScuttleTTV JScuttle (@JScuttleTTV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hear me out……. Forget about all this and focus on the thing that’s been broken and gotten worse since release🫠 HIT REG

  • TheMrViews MrViews (@TheMrViews) reported

    @SeaOfThieves As for matchmaking, I have no issue with queue times, I just keep getting paired with people way above my skill. Matchmaking sucks. And I feel this entire system is abit of a mess.

  • imhungry85 chilledoutchris (@imhungry85) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your match making ffs

  • LoboCzarniano ElUltimoCzarniano (@LoboCzarniano) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix black screen when respawning. I literally hear everything around me and still don't respawn

  • Falcon59875668 Falcon (@Falcon59875668) reported

    @Daynemog @SeaOfThieves 2nd floor but stairs will still be broken

  • TCToaster CrazyToaster (@TCToaster) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Will this effect private servers? We plan on running an event using them during the outage time

  • MDK42 MDK (@MDK42) reported

    @SeaOfThieves my friend had a decent idea to improve match making inventory issues better. When you are in the circle have a seperate ship inventory with a stock amount of cannon ***** and planks that goes back to your initial inventory when combat ends. Dunno about curse *****

  • demonte4509ui thebaitgodyouhate (@demonte4509ui) reported

    @manshoon03 @SeaOfThieves The biggest issue is the skeleton curse is **** so no one wants it so everyone is voting guardians

  • shortsaturnx capt’ short (@shortsaturnx) reported

    @MakEhOh @SeaOfThieves Yeah I get that’s an issue :/ but I do hope they find some way round it. Right now the 20/30 min supply gathering time, 10 min match making time and then 30-60 min fights just aren’t worth the insignificant rep, at least to me

  • 453Dave King_Dave_453 (@453Dave) reported

    @requester47 @SeaOfThieves I know a joke when I see it, but if you’re somehow serious that’s an issue.

  • CaptPilotes Capitán Pilotes (@CaptPilotes) reported

    @_Equinoxx__ @SeaOfThieves They usually last for about 3/4 hours but depends on the complexity of the patch or the problems they may encounter applying it.

  • MakEhOh Makaio (@MakEhOh) reported

    @manshoon03 @SeaOfThieves You say they can't make matchmaking work, but then when they fix it you complain.

  • viiraxetv viiraxe (@viiraxetv) reported

    @thepwnking101 @SeaOfThieves That’s like saying give a PVE away to earn Arena cosmetics (when Arena was out). There are commendations and cosmetics I won’t achieve because I don’t PVE enough, and there are ones you won’t achieve if you don’t PVP enough. Why is that such an issue for people to accept?

  • noob76052507 oxynatOr (@noob76052507) reported

    @SeaOfThieves can you fix the 3vs1 ****?

  • CapnTatermilk Captain Tater (@CapnTatermilk) reported

    @TheLameXGamer @SeaOfThieves @BoxyFresh_ Most people don't get paid to sit there and chat. As I said, it highlights a problem with PVP runners. Focus.

  • Monicanull2 TheGoreQueen (@Monicanull2) reported

    @InsaneSpyro @SeaOfThieves The only issue you have said is the SOG glitch, which they have already said they are looking into, blunder bombs and guns are part of the game, deal with it and move on

  • GREENRA56347271 GREEN RANGER (@GREENRA56347271) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Matchmaking times isn’t the only problem. Supplies, SBMM, and battle circle are the other problems.

  • JanSchilli Jannimon 🏳️‍🌈 (@JanSchilli) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Thats cool! Please consider to do something about the supply issue, too. Losing all the supplies after a battle is so frustrating.

  • WazzaC92 warren christie (@WazzaC92) reported

    @MattLTJ @SeaOfThieves They are aware of this bug, fix is incoming, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s tomorrow with the patch

  • DeadMansSquid Davy Jones (@DeadMansSquid) reported

    @SeaOfThieves could you maybe also fix the issue of supplies while you guys are on it? Like while gathering supplies for a big fight is fine it feels like sinking, losing all of them, and therefore not being able to jump right back into matchmaking is really what's killing it for some people

  • DoctorMarik DoctorMarik (@DoctorMarik) reported

    @SeaOfThieves pushing through the grind. Heck I haven't even talked about the issues with combat either, with animation canceling double guns, blunder bomb spams, silent boarding, etc. That's a different conversation, but it does affect this game mode too. -‐

  • Richard_Beasley rb (@Richard_Beasley) reported

    @SeaOfThieves It’s going to be just like hit reg and you arnt going to fix it.

  • TheMrViews MrViews (@TheMrViews) reported

    @OniosanS @SeaOfThieves How did it come so popular if it's so broken?

  • ashyra_ ashyra-PP- (@ashyra_) reported

    @LordWhisperr @D3monWo1f @SeaOfThieves My issue with the change is the fact that after 200 and the commendations, it’s 800 levels until the next reward.
