How sad you must be to cheat.

@edemardil Are you sure it wasnt a developer? Did he attack you or just ignored you ?

I went to the barrel and I couldn't take anymore because it said I was full. Inventory said "0".

Please don't mix things up. This part here is a KNOWN bug. Happens alot and often, killing yourself fixes it, Can happen with cannon balls, bananas or planks.

Are you sure you aren't just bad at this game and coming to the forum to vent? I have never seen a ship not sink unless they were scooping.

Can you even read ? He said he went to his ship and it looked brand new. I am taking his word for it at this point keep in mind. I think it was a developer with the way he is describing it, but if that person attacked him or sank him even if he was a developer he should be penalized.

I also encountered a modder i guess he shot 7 times with a bus underwater.

@edemardil Good thinking in getting the recording. I have only run into two hackers in all the hours I have played, so thankfully it's pretty uncommon but man is it frustrating when you do see it. I am on PC so I almost never record game footage or even have recording software running, so I never get video. Although I should record more just for the times when I get beat by someone playing far better than I do so I can look back at what they did differently.

If you think someone is cheating report them. Microsoft takes cheating on Xbox live extremely seriously.

This is what I've always hated about software games, hackers.

A simple 30 second google search will net you several sites that offer aimbot, ship tracking, esp, and more. There are tools on the server dev side that are primed to track and ban these accounts - but they will continue to exist. I cannot attest to the types of issues you'r describing, but I wouldn't put it past there being several potential issues. Some of what you describe could simply be errors as well, but there is certainly the potential for hacks.

Best you can do is recall the details of the event, screen grabs and videos help ALOT, time of day (including time zone) platform your using, screen names, even simple things like your hardware specs and internet config can be of use to rule out errors, lag and similar.

The more details beyond an anecdote you can provide the dev team the better the game will be armed against these sorts of exploits in the future.

Realize also how common it is for 'bugs' to be exploited by the WHOLE player base. Such as the renowned "flying thrust" or the fact you can clip INTO enemies, and so on.

Some of these things will be corrected in the future I am sure. Though the "Sword Thrust" I am almost assuming will become a FEATURE lol.

I regret your experience mate, hope you have pleasurable sail time in the future!

@pir4te-roberts Who are you talking about. I had only two incidents and each was with a different person, so I am curious who you think ran into the same guy a bunch? Just hoping to clarify who you are responding to matey.

If you're ever wondering if you're taking on a Dev for Sea of Thieves they apparently have a unique hull paint or sail design the rest of us cannot obtain. Makes them easier to pick out from normal players.

I myself find the idea of cheaters in this game kinda stupid as it just ruins the actual experience of the game. If we're just playing for fun and cosmetics, what's their end-game plan?
