    Yikes my first 2 minutes playing @SeaOfThieves and I got told to not play, and disconnect. Great new player experience.

  • stordyr Stordyr Gaming (@stordyr) reported

    @Zyx_XBL @glermzz @SeaOfThieves Two reasons: 1. Everyone who is raising 'Theena Emissary knows he's making him/herself a target 2. the aforementioned glitch :)

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Jake50500818 @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves I've been playing for 3 years kiddo, and pvping along the way, I even like the pvp, broken and unbalanced as it is. I've enjoyed the game for 3 years, don't assume this is for me, its for all the players who dont really get to choose how they want to play.

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR SEVERS

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Sammys_stuff @SeaOfThieves Why not? All the time I hear them talk about how they hate chasing people who run, (often because they just arent into pvp at all) and a server full of pvp players should solve that issue.

  • Rolle59475986 Rolle (@Rolle59475986) reported

    @SlooperSolo @Buck0451 @SeaOfThieves There’s a problem, a lot of pvp players want to fight to steal stuff, it gives them a real motive, if there are only stealing pvp players left, they have nothing to steal or give them motivation to fight over. Pretty sure that’s what people mean by the game kinda dying

  • GamerDadZoiks CMDR Geocacher (@GamerDadZoiks) reported

    @MTHREMIX @SeaOfThieves Hit reg is fine. The broken overheal meter I hope is priority with this update

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Sammys_stuff @SeaOfThieves I agree that its fun, thats why i've enjoyed the game for 3 years, you're not telling me anything I dont know. Problem is its not fun for everyone and I dont see the problem with actually letting them choose how to play too.

  • MTHREMIX MTHREMIX (@MTHREMIX) reported

    @SeaOfThieves All you have to do is fix hit reg. That’s it. I don’t understand how this is still a thing.

  • hocka56 Mysterious Stranger (@hocka56) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I hope this fix my game

  • PcflWtrs Tasha s (@PcflWtrs) reported

    @Zero_ToIerance @killzone1401 @SeaOfThieves I had this same issue last night with someone. I tried explaining that pve & pvp servers didn’t kill pvp ok wow or any other game. I was told that if we both spent $ time effort my items were no less valid simply cause I didn’t attacked for them.

  • TopcowRaven TopcowRaven (@TopcowRaven) reported

    @XboxSupport @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I can’t seem to purchase ancient coins packs. Trying to get the frozen sales pack before it ends in 1 day. Is there an issue with the store? Thanks!

  • stordyr Stordyr Gaming (@stordyr) reported

    @Zyx_XBL @glermzz @SeaOfThieves You are correct and i've been doing it. Didn't reach grade 5 with 2 Thieves haven and Full Athena VOyage + 3 skeli ships and a handful of captains :) . This is how bad this glitch is right now :D

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @NebdeNN @SeaOfThieves No problem with the servers that have no progression. Its pve servers i have a problem with!

  • glermzz Glermz (@glermzz) reported

    @Callum54748255 @stordyr @SeaOfThieves Oh fair enough. But its unintended then? I dont have the need to do anymore athena runs so i had no idea about the issue. Thank you for clarifying

  • BPetz29 Bobby Petz (@BPetz29) reported

    @SlooperSolo @jake_deg @SeaOfThieves We know what pvevp is bud just no fun what? They gonna beat the boss first and somehow get all the loot? Or what can’t steal it from people as they pick it up and run to their boat... go play animal crossing, no one is going to give you any problems there.

  • sam29663452 Sam Liverpool (@sam29663452) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please try to fix the merchant shipwreck bugs Rare. I’ve lost a lot of time and effort retrieving manifests only for them not to be counted.

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @birdsurvivor1 @MTHREMIX @SeaOfThieves Or means they don't know how or can't fix it!

  • NebdeNN NebdeN (@NebdeNN) reported

    @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Dont really understand your problem. So you got problem with the adventure mode or with the private servers where people can either do pvp or pve?

  • birdsurvivor1 driB (@birdsurvivor1) reported

    @MTHREMIX @SeaOfThieves The fact that they´ve been working on it for Months means its not an easy Fix

  • Callum54748255 Callum (@Callum54748255) reported

    @glermzz @stordyr @SeaOfThieves There’s a glitch at the moment that’s making athena rep way harder to get, it only was introduced around a month or so ago. That’s what he’s on about, he’s right about it taking too long to reach grade V recently.

  • WizStreams Wiz Streams Games (@WizStreams) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Its not working

  • Mobbster54 Mobbster (@Mobbster54) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I finished every challenge in the fishing event it shows a check by every one of them but is counting me one short on the event total to earn the hunters hero title. Please fix this I worked hard on this event.

  • hocka56 Mysterious Stranger (@hocka56) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No mention of "enlisting pirate" problem that i have.

  • General_Rob_ Robert (@General_Rob_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves is the servers down... it just kicked me out and wouldn’t let me back in

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @BPetz29 @jake_deg @SeaOfThieves You ignore that not everything would be possible in PVE servers, some things obviously woudlnt make sense like FOTD and such. I see no issue with letting everyone choose how they want to play

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Sammys_stuff @SeaOfThieves Its like you completely ignored the part about this idea that not everything could be done on pve only and also that it would require playing on PVEVP to be incentivized. Its totally possible to have both and whats the problem if a server had all pvp?

  • JuniperRex 📸Juniper Rex📸 (@JuniperRex) reported

    @SeaOfThieves It's kind of a smaller glitch, but it's annoying, everytime me and my crew get hit by an anchor ball the pink ghost effect stays on the capstan until our ship sinks, is there any way this could be fixed?

  • Zero_Demon_King Zero, The Broken (@Zero_Demon_King) reported

    @ChimneySwift11 @SeaOfThieves No problem, here is another tip: If you have loot on your ship and you sink, the loot has 5 minute timer before it sinks.

  • truwock ⚡️⚡️ (@truwock) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I hope they atleast fix the megan
