If someone was to throw one and say another player shot at it...would it explode in mid-air? Or does it not register?

So I'm not sure just when this bug began to occur but I just recently equipped my Ferryman Boots for the first time in a while. I bought the controller shortly after launch so I've had them for a long time. As such, I can speak from experience in that they never had this issue before.

Basically—as you can see here—the boots are intended to come adorned with golden rings on the sides. They clearly display this in the thumbnail for the item.

However, when equipped the rings are seemingly removed from the boots entirely. This is frustrating since this is an item I spent real life cash to acquire. I know the rings were visible in the past but now the icon is misleading. I've also tried it with various pants and other clothing items but the bug continues to persist.

Does anyone have some insight into why this bug occurs and how I may be able to temporarily fix it? Does Rare know about it or have they acknowledged it? I'm not very active on these forums so please forgive me if this is something that's been brought up already and is being resolved. Cheers!

About a year ago I purchased the limited edition ferryman controller, I also got the code for the ferryman outfit and weapons, but after a while of using the ferryman eye of reach it just disappeared from my armoury. Does anyone know how I can get it back? Plz help rare.

Something many of us want is the option to re-roll our pirate without losing our hard earned cosmetics especially limited ones we can’t get back. Another thing we all want is more PL content. Why not mesh these together? Make it so once the re-roll is an option it remains one only for PLs. This would be beneficial by giving PL’s something that has been long desired while also adding an extra legit incentive for players to hit PL should they be less than satisfied with the character they’ve obtained.

Ok this is long overdue. I'm sure everyone has wanted to change their pirate at some point in their Sea of Thieves career, but the fact of losing progress completely detours anyone from doing it. I am a big fan of stories in games. I have had my character for over a year now and I am ready for a change, but that would mean losing a years worth of progress. I recall hearing in a developer update or something along those lines that there would be a way to change character without losing progress after the mega update, but here we are and I don't hear a thing about it. Even if it would cost money or in-game gold then I am totally down. I really just want to start a new journey without losing everything I worked towards for over a year.

During this week I’ve been playing sea of theives loads but ive seen the kraken like 5 times so could you turn down the spawn rate?

Ive tried changing permissions, different user, reinstall,

event viewer shows this when i launch it

Unable to start a DCOM Server: Microsoft.SeaofThieves_2.87.8848.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe!AthenaClientShipping as Ei käytettävissä/Ei käytettävissä. The error:

but i couldnt find anything about it online

Theres a lot of posts/moaning been made regards to been attacked and losing everything during a tall table quest.
What about creating a flag to symbol you are on a tall tale which may help been randomly attacked?? Despite people constantly replying it's the nature of the game, this may help on some occasions???

Will their be an option to change pirates without losing progression in the near future. Cause I really do want to change my pirate once again into someone else. Remind you that I’m LVL8 Athena.

After a while of doing quests and selling them, we see a Fort of the Damned skull in the skies. Our sloop goes to the big skull in the hopes of intercepting whoever is doing the Fort and stealing the Athena & the loot for ourselves. We see the skull from not too far, my partner and I decide to shoot ourselves in the cannons towards the Fort in the hopes of hiding in the island until they finish the fort. Everything goes great, they kill the Skeleton Lord Graymarrow and before opening the door with the key, they spot us and kill us. Once we respawn back on our close-by ship, we decided to sail towards the fort in the purpose of sinking their ship, killing them, get the key, and take it for ourselves. Once arriving, we sink them, thinking that we had won the battle. We dock our sloop next to the entrance of the fort, and then we notice, the door is still closed, and there's no sign of the key anywhere around. We look and look for the key thinking they had hid them, up and down, inside and outside of the island, but nothing. After 5 minutes, we notice they come back in their same ship. We shoot & fight, and guess what, we kill them once more. We keep looking for the key, up and down, inside and outside of the island, and nothing. They once more come back, after 5 minutes... we die. Our ship is respawned faaaaaaaaaaaaaar away. We notice the Reaper's chest moves away from the island. We track it and meet with our already-met fellas. We chase, we shoot, and see the Athena on their ship from afar , with the rest of the loot. We chase, not being able to catch up, we are on the sails and helm fully focused in order to not miss a bit of wind going on our favor. We are still not able to catch up. They drop gunpowder barrels, we miss them, they jump from the back of their ship towards ours, we kill them. They do that, over and over... and over, and over, over & over then over and then some more gunpowder barrels again. They did not manage to get on our ship once, nor hit our anchor once and we still couldn't catch up to them. They head towards Plunder Outpost, just pass by it, one of them drop in the island with the Athena and manages to sell it, their ship is still continuing to sail pass the outpost. They already sold their main objective. We keep chasing, same story. They jump out the back of their ship onto ours, we kill them not letting them get onto our ship nor hit our anchor. We then notice they are heading towards another outpost, guess what, same thing happens, once jumps out with an Reaper's chest, sells it, respawns back into their ship. They did this, 4 times. Us, continuing to chase them, did not manage, EVER to catch up to them. At the end, they sold everything from outpost to outpost and ended up crashing their ship into the last outpost to call us pu**ies and noobs. We had perfect sails, they did too. We had a man on the helm, they did too. They had a big advantage against our crew, why did we have none, some type of power-up boost, or longer grapple rope. We were the underdog, forever. We had sunk their ship twice already, they manage to get back in less than 10 minutes, that's the time you have to stack up planks and bananas onto your ship's barrels. In my experience of playing this game after so long, and continue to see this is a problem the game has, I followed to ALT+F4 from the game. Our main point of this whole story is:

Why is a ship that has been sunk, able to return to their place of death in so little time? Not sure if it's difficult or not to have someone that has been entirely sunk fully change to a new server.

Why are we not able to catch up to another ship unless their slow down their sails or hit their anchor? We already have power-up cannonballs that can anchor a ship or make its crew dance. Shouldn't be too hard to implement some type of boost on the ship that's on the back, or simply have longer & better working harpoons when the ship is on the move.

Why is someone that is being chased, able to leave the helm and their sails and still able to jump out the back of their ship to get to someone else's? Have a reset time of every 15 seconds the sails are unattended, they slowly move to the sides, or even randomized bumps in the water that makes your anchor randomly get dropped off and if you are on the ship you must catch it before it hits the floor of the ocean.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that has experienced this before in the game after playing it for so long. Hope we can have the devs have a read at this.

I recently downloaded the new SOT Insider after not playing for quite a long time. Was about 2 minutes into the tutorial and my baby woke up. After coming back to a server timeout screen, I restarted. Have been unsuccessful in finding a way to replay the tutorial. Thought it would pickup where I had left of, maybe . . But no, just brought me into the regular game, back at the bar.

Is this something that is known, or is there I way to restart the tutorial.

I tried to delete saved game data (XBOX) with no such luck. Wasn't any data saved.

How many rounds (including the last round with Gray Marrow) are there at FOTD?

So I that this thought in mind and told a friend (we are both insiders) about it and he thinks it’s a good idea.

So when becoming an Insider for SOT, you are obliged to make a new pirate. I was shook at first, but realized it was different form the actual game. So I choose my pirate (BTW I loved the new pirate for the Insider Program). So then this came to mind.

For those who are insiders, can we have the option to switch between our pirates in the actual game & our pirates in the Insider in the actual game of SOT.

Confused? Let me example more.

See, I thought about that since we cannot make changes to our original pirates from the actual game of SOT, for those who are insiders and have to make a new one, can have the option [Under “Pirate Settings”] to change our pirate (use the insider pirate we created to use in the actual game as a selection) WHILE STILL KEEPING the same progress we accumulate when we played since day one on the actual game. I just thought about it and wanted to see how everyone else think about it.

So, right...how can I put this. So on the Galleon you have the doors where the mid-deck cannons are supposed to be, however there aren’t any down there, they are only there for decorations. HOWEVER, I think that in the future (if it will happen), there will be at least four cannons (2 on each side) in the mid-deck so that we can utilize the cannon doors and shoot below rather up-top.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A SUGGESTION.

What you guys think?

Hello, i am curious will this game ever be expand to any other launcher beside the ms store such as Epic, Steam, GOG etc. ?
This game has been for over a year and a half on the market and its still such a great game from what i have seen on many video so i was just wondering if there is any chance..
Thank in advanced.

For some reason, did the loading time increase because quite frankly—8/10 chances it takes a little longer for me to join back in the game or my boat. We all know that the moment you die, you will immediately spawn in the Ferry, but now it’s like I’m on the “Black Screen of Death” while hearing the sounds of being on the Ferry, AND THEN it puts me in the Ferry before the doors open for me to come back into the real world. That’s when I have to wait “impatiently” until I come in the game after a long time on the loading screen. Yes, I am a XboxONE player, but the loading time is really a kill and will cause stress.

So has the loading time gotten better or gotten worse?

Hello fellow pirates. I was wondering if you would lose your Ancient Coins, i bought with real money, if i deleted my pirate. I know you don't lose your Special Outfits (sea dogs, pre purchase etc.), so if anyone knows, if you lose your ancient coins when restarting, please tell me :)

Have a nice day!
-Odin

You might know where this is going, so I’m going to simply the suggestion.

Me...friends...trying to server hop to get all of us (5 total) into two brigs in the same server by using the Repear’s Flag (seen by Hibotc), rather than the impossible asking someone in the game for their boat.

Like honestly, I really want all 5 of us in the game, and every time we try the RF tactic, it’s to no avail. Has anyone tried it and has it worked? If so, how long did it take for it to work?

I know about the events, just want to know whether all of them will come back as they were, with the cosmetics. I know that the pre-order bonus isn't coming back for sure, but I would like to collect everything and do all these special event voyages.

For the 'Footsteps of the Pirate Lord' commendation, I played through The Shroudbreaker quest a second time, but my progress still showed only 1/5 for the commendation afterwards. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Disclaimer: Yes, I do understand that in order to obtain Ancient Coins to get animals and the cosmetics via clothing for animals, we either have to do one of the two: Micro-transaction or find this VERY RARE skeleton and shooting it to gain some coins.

However, there should at least be some type of daunting quest that we can do to obtain the coins, and each time the quest is done, we get at least 50-100 of the coins, but it going to cost you...ummmm...50K Gold to the Pirate Emporium Guy.

ANOTHER IDEA CAME INTO MY HEAD WHILE WRITING THIS AS WELL. So here me out on this one too.

So I am thinking, since we have the Repear's Chest & the beacons to know where the chest are located have have this ominous red glow in the sky. How about there is one or two that glow green and that these are crates of Ancient Coins, carrying up to 200 coins when turned in to the guy at the Emporium at the Outpost. But it is not easy (of course), the icon will be shown on the map (Just like the Repear's Chest) and people will come and try to take it from you. But they spawn in not so much as do the Repear's Chest.

What do you think about this suggestion you pirates out in the high seas?

Hey Everyone, ive been thinking for a while now what could be added to the game that can help bring multiple of friends together, working towards the same goals even though they cant be on the same server due to how the matching making works for fair game play.
So i thought that a guild system that unites there efforts all under one name/ roof or ship :D

1. one idea is being able to have your own custom guild name.
2. Guild Missions - this bringing multiple friends together working towards a bigger goal, all contributing to multiple achievements that unlock cool items for the guild.
3. Guild Vs Guild in Arena, Game mode that allows guilds to settle there issues on whose the best pirates out there. (Some Kind of Rewards could be given for the winners or some kind of item that could be shown on the info about there guild to show there wins and defeats).
4. Guild Menu - obviously for, invites but to be able to check on progress and other info that could be necessary.
5. Guild player banners / Cape, an item of clothing that the guild leader can purchase and customise for the guild out of many different options to make a unique logo for the guild.
6. Guild Ship Flags - like the banner idea but for ships to represent the guild before a battle has even started.

please let me know what you all think of this idea.

looking forward to reading your comments.

Here me out, when we spawn in the tavern's all we see is the girls at behind the counter, the mysterious pirate at the back, and Duke. So I am thinking, there should be other pirates/other people in the taverns, but not just the same people, but different pirates (like each tavern will have at least six to seven NPC, different from each other at other taverns around the seas of Sea of Thieves). For instance:

THE WILDS: - These are ruthless and aggressive NPCs. This is where you will see most of your fighting, rough-housing, and drunkard pirates. They tend to want to pick a fight with you, REGARDLESS of what you do.

THE ANCIENT ISLES: - These NPCs' are your more sane and simple pirates. You can interact with them without any hassle and they tend to dance, have fun and talk to one another, including you. They are more of those pirates were they are not to aggressive, but will sometimes get a little tough here and there.

THE SHORES OF PLENTY: - This is where your rich and classy pirates are located. They speak class and are condescending. They will also talk smack about the pirates in the Wilds, and talk more mannerly about those in the Ancient Isles.

DEVIL's ROAR: - Straightforward, The Wilds' pirates but 2x worst.

So I was wondering, do the developers actually look into the forums at peoples post, or is the forums just a place where we talk about stuff and the developers are not keen to notice anything of what’s going on?

Because I myself and others have made many good ides on what to add to the game. I’ve seen some really good ones and hoping that RARE actually be like, “Oh wow, that’s a good idea. I will message you and we can talk more about it”.

I mean I have made ideas about adding waterspouts. changing pirate appearances without deleting and starting over, A BIG INVESTMENT IN A FORT FOR THE DEVIL’S ROAR (I have a blueprint of it, along with the idea of the waterspout). I really hope they do read and see post that actually are good ideas.

So pirates, do they read our forums or not?

[This post is not about creating drama, and I promise you it is a suggestion at its heart. Also I write it from memory so I might miss item names and such.]

After the release of the Anniversary Update I really enjoyed all the new story missions. I done them all alone like I play the whole game like that. I like the challenge. I solved most of it alone, I did not even look up solutions most of the time: it was one of the best gaming in the year for me. Old-school, taking-notes-on-paper kind of adventures. 10/10. I really loved it.

Then I finally managed to go to the Shores of Gold. I knew it is big. And I enjoyed it... then I messed up. It was my fault, I thought I have the solution for one of the caves. I thought it was a bug. I even opened a ticket, made a video about it. I was stupid. I felt stupid. In reality I just messed up interpreting the clues. But not this is where I given up on the game. It was a shame but not one I can't get over. But it took me more than a hour to give up on this run.

My next try was worse. Now I know the solution for the vault. I spawned far from the Shore so it took me about 15 boring minutes to go there. Then I transitioned to the Shore... and there was already another crew, vaults open etc... so I started again in a new sessions, I wasn't about to pick a fight and ruin their endgame.

Third time the charm right? Nope. I solved the vaults. I got the item I need in the big throne statue... when a galleon appear. They sank my boat and killed me 3 against one is hard 2 of them died before me. I respawned on the island with a new sloop, they even messaged me how did I respawn there after they noticed me. I tried to continue in secret but they found me and killed me again and took my item too. I thought about sinking them, but knowing they will respawn here made it pointless. I was outnumbered, I had no way to know where the item is. And I assume they solved it after I left without having to go to the vaults. They should thank me for the free pass to the ending really.

And this is the point I given up on this. My question was, that I did not ask here or anywhere else (I was in deep disappointment and rage after hours of gampeplay lost like this, it is rare a game does this to me, so I just quit, deleted the game, did not worth the time after this):

Why the Shores of Gold island is not private session?

The story goes there are only one Shroudbreaker. Storywise strange that you are attacked by another crew while solving the puzzles on the island that can't be accessed without the one and only legendary Shroudbreaker.

There are a lot of times when I just accept that others attack me. Every voyage, chest, skull, gem are fair game. We are pirates. We are pirating. But here: it takes too much time and frustration to let this happen. It should be a private session because it does not makes sense to have more than one Shroudbreakers there. I spent around 5 hours on that island only in the 3 runs I tried it. And 2 runs from that ended beceause others got there too. Once I was the second. An other time another crew was. And it just doesn't make sense.

Of course I do not know if this still works like this. I did not follow release notes after deleting the game. If it is not like this anymore I am sorry for wasting time writing this down. But now that I coming back to the game to check out the pets, spending actual money on the game after buying it on release for full price: I felt like coming clean about this hard annoyance that made the game bad for me at the end.

So is it wort to try the finale again now? Or I had to fear from other crews attacking me with another Shroudbreaker?

Hello! I'm Achromate (i can't see/distinguish the similar colors). My previous posts for this problem:
https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/60129/achromate-graphical-feature-help-contrast
https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/75265/a-thing-about-next-update
https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/90711/continue-to-not-help-who-have-vision-problems

I've a request, if it possible, so helpful for who have problems similare to me:
The Fishing: i've so problem to distinguish what kind of fish i've found and the type of that fish.
For example the Devl's Fish, i can't distinguish them (or not all).
I can distinguish if a fish have a light color or dark color. Not so much more.
The unique fish is the ponds, that i can see "good", because i can find ONLY them in a pond, and i can fish into
the water and i can distinguish their body drows.
For all other fish i have so many problems. I always need to fish near someone that have to said me if
the fish is correct.
Then if i also finish a type of a fish, sometimes at the end i uses half of lures for fish that i have just ended.

So why could not you add something that indicate which fish is and the color?
For who have "Normal eyes" it's not change anything, because they see the colors and they have not
problems to choose if the fish is the wanted or not.

For other animals, when i have the cage i can see the name sating above or behind them, why not for fish?
This is the same thing :(
Is not an advantage, but a simple feature the simple permit to play fish like other players.

Thank to all that consider me :)

Is there a chance a sort of Police Faction may be added Like British Navy or a French Navy, This faction will Engage people who have done something Illegal or is Engaged themselves. They will Patrol Sea's around Outposts and Maybe some Forts, and may have some Fleets and Convoys. The Fleets and Convoys may be raided and or attacked by either Players, Skeletons, Krakens and Megaladons.

This has been a question of mine for a bit. I was waiting at a outpost once for an afk friend and a ship seemed to pop up when I wasn't looking towards the dock, less than thirty feet away from our ship which was close to the island, and had the appearance of just spawning due to its lack of cosmetics, and it's positioning to the dock. A friend and I assumed it spawned when no one was looking. That or someone sailed up without us noticing. I'm not complaining about it, but I would like to know if anyone has hard facts on whether or not the ship could have spawned with us still at the island? Or are there physical limitations to how close you can spawn to another ship?

So I feel I'm unable to complete fate of the Morningstar. Every guide I see tells me to head to the Old Faithful Isle, and once I arrive to use the lantern, I see no ghosts or such. Will I ever finish this quest or is this bugged forever?

I've noticed that after black relics update the Gunpowder kegs are disappearing after a time (had 4-5of them in the crow's nest) , anyone with same issue?

I feel like that censorship is a very controversial thing in this game and many players disagree with how the censor system works. I know that developers are mostly trying to prevent harassment and racism in this game, which is completely on the place, even though its a game about pirates, there needs to be an order. And then there is this thing: Is it better for the game to punish you with some kind of silence or temporary account lock after you have been proven guilty of harassing other players, or if it better for the game to even prevent you from typing harassing stuff at first? Sometimes I think its even better to prevent you from typing toxic stuff in the chat, but then there are moments, when I'm not even able to communicate in my native language, because part of the word for example is an insult in other language, which is really annoying... What do you guys think about censorship in this game, do you find in on the place, or above the limit?
