I thought this was fixed ages ago but it would appear that I'm wrong, me and my crew mate just completed a fort at Shark Fin Camp only to open the door to find out that there was nothing there. After spending ages on one fort this is really disheartening.
Although I personally don't need the reputation, my friend does, and obviously it gives lots of gold.
This glitch? Bug? Waste of time? Should've been resolved a long time ago but apparently not.

Ahoy there fellow pirates of The Sea Of Thieves. Due to some small disagreements with a few members of me crew...well lets just say I be on the lookout for a couple (Or even a few) new faces to sign up. Here be a few things about us and hopefully it catches ye interest.

We are an Crew of 6 currently. (used to be 8 but remember those disagreements i told you about?...)
We are a very respectful crew who cares a lot about anyone committed to our alliance and our jokes and banter never intend to harm anyone, only to have a small laugh.
We accept all genders and races. doesn't matter who you are as long as you can play well with others and work efficiently. Oh and have fun at the same time.
We are a friendly crew most of the time and we always avoid pvp whenever possible, but will attack if attacked.

Our crew are from very different places around the globe and aren't always on together (Hence one of the reasons I am here) so we will usually be able to find a slot for you.
Discord? If you stick with the crew long enough then you might be welcome to join.
Do we play other games? yes we do but if you catch us on another game don't hesitate to ask.
I hear you asking "what do we get in return" well A good solid crew, lots of gold and rep (If you need it) also quite a bit of a laugh as we often stumble upon the stupidest stuff.
Are there any specific requirements to join? only 2. No Squeakers and no noobs please bring at least some experience along.

Do we have ranks? working on those.
I'll wrap up here since I've been going on a bit. But I hope I have at least interested some of ye. especially if ye are having issue finding a solid crew. Ye can msg me over Xbox Live, or Twitter @Mayorsam01 or sail over to Sanctuary Outpost where you you may find me with a mug of water and Lydia Or Keira (My Parrots) (I'm not a fan of that grog stuff)

This be Captain Dom. Alliance Commander. (Pirate Legend 31 HC, 49 SD, 50 GH, 50 OoS and 50 MA) (Been on the seas since launch) I wish you all a great voyage and hope you will be interested to join our friendly crew. Good day.

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.

I play on a solo sloop 99% of the time. I’ve done FOTD raid solo twice now, but decided I might as well open the crew for extra eyes and guns. Especially since there was a brig and sloop on the horizon.

First person joins, they have a name like “Player48826844692924” (just a bunch of randomly spammed numbers), once they’re loaded in they take a banana and just stand there in the lower deck looking around, I get their attention by slashing at them. They follow me up but when I’m in the water I see them running in circles near the capstan and wheel (must’ve not seen or heard me jump in the water). I shoot at them to get their attention again, and they follow me up to the fort. Once the raid starts I quickly check the lanterns like usual, and get the active one. The guy tries shooting at invulnerable green skeletons over and over, gets swarmed and dies at the beginning of the first wave (I was running after the gunners). He respawns and comes back up no problem, only to die in the second wave to red skeletons, same reason. He leaves.

Second person joins (some weird name I can’t remember), big fat mustache and unkempt hair, wearing a white dress, very odd. Have to get their attention too. Same issues, they try attacking invulnerable skellies, and at no point catch on that you need to use the different lanterns (even as they see me changing mine and stunning the skellies with it then shooting. This person spams the sword for some reason, even on sword skeletons that are just blocking non-stop. They die once, after which I hear cannon fire, I return to the ship to find the sloop parked up and firing. I get on, repair ship, get into a better angle, fire back. He boards my sloop only to die in a sword duel. The noob respawns at this point. Once the enemy respawns and starts firing again, I spam “Man the cannons!” while getting an angle again (enemy moved slightly). Noob straight up loads the right cannon as the sloop is pummelling us from the left, and just stares out into the fort’s pier. I run down and try to get his attention by swinging, all he does in response is gets more cannonballs from the barrel and goes back on the right cannon. I get thrown off by a cannonball, then hear him die and he leaves.

I pummel the sloop with a few firebombs and he goes running off into the horizon with his entire top deck covered in tall flames. Tried to board my ship again and I just blunderbussed him.

This isn't a game breaking problem but why will they including selling empty collector's chests????? The ashen collector's ones kinda makes sense as in 'Oooh they might be cursed or have hidden meaning' so the factions are interested but selling normal empty boxes for the OoS or GH or M? Why would they be interested?! This just seems as an extra way to make a quick buck or something and adds nothing to the experience.

There's a major problem with the newly introduced Black Market 'Archives'. As we all know, the major rewarding factor of Sea of Thieves is having a piece of limited time cosmetics. The fact that the idea of re-releasing the exact same items with the exact same color scheme was even brought up is laughable. Many people strive to play Sea of Thieves at specific time periods to obtain time-limited cosmetics. What will be the point of trying to play the game when the updates come? To get at a cheaper price??? That won't affect anyone with millions upon millions of gold. (Unless the price increase will reach 5mil+ a piece or so, which I doubt will be the case).

Please reconsider releasing the exact same colors of time-limited cosmetics as that would ruin the experience for anyone who joined during that time period. Adding a new color gives the player-base the missed event items themselves while giving respect to the players that played the content during its period.

This problem is reaching an absurd level with the constant re-release of limited content ever since the release of the Mercenary Clothing Set with the Midnight Blunderbuss [Purchasable Hard-drive] following soon after, after that the Victorious Sea Dog Blunderbuss with its permanent 240 win cap after being announced as time-limited, and god knows what's next.

It's honestly starting to feel like a scheme set up by Rare to extort money or play time from its fans. I hate to assume the worst but based on evidence from the Dev Update/patterns of re-release it seems this plan is going through.

Please keep this part of Sea of Thieves untouched.

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?

Hi,

Last weekend something weird happened while I was sailing on Devil's Roar: I couldn't see the volcanoes smoke, I was hearing the noise and I could see how the volcano was throwing up rocks, but not the smoke.

Today it happened again but I realized it's worse: I couldn't see many important effects. This is the list I have noticed:

• Volcano smoke
• Fire (on surfaces, enemies or myself)
• Water pouring into my boat
• Water from geysers
• Keg's explosion

And it doesn't reset when I die (like the wind bug), I have to close the game to "fix" it.

If you are a pirate legend and maxed you shouldn’t get anything less then the maximum loot for that faction especially on a Athenas why am I getting sea fears and disgraced skulls when I should be getting all captains chest and villainous can you pls update that becasue why would I grind so hard just to get the same chests as low level it’s honesty not fair

This is a simple one and I’m sure it has been mentioned in the past but having more wildlife in the ocean would be amazing. Dolphins, whales, different kinds of sharks (maybe a big great white?), bigger fish in deeper regions (i.e. - tuna) and/or giant schools of fish.

Sea of Thieves has one of the best environments in the industry, and I genuinely feel like more diverse wildlife to fill up the ocean would make the experience of roaming the seas so much better. Imagine dolphins swimming in front of the ship or a massive whale breaching the surface of the ocean in the distance! So much potential!

Quick Video i made awhile ago.

les éclairs doivent être supprimer car elle casse les couilles. j'étais avec un ami et nous faisions un fort et les éclairs nous ont tuer 10 fois minimum soit je n'ai pas de chance soit les éclairs sont abuser donc faites quelque chose svp et aussi les balles de pompe ne sont pas directe elle ont une différence de dégat considérable mettant en difficulter ou avantage les joueur

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.

To start this off: This is not another Xbox vs. PC thread. There have been enough threads and posts discussing this subject. This thread is for giving feedback on the Xbox version of SoT and making suggestions on how to improve it.

It is no secret that the game has atrocious performance on Xbox. Of all the games I've come across on the platform SoT is the worst performing by far. Initial startup load time can last minutes sometimes and load times ingame are not much better. I wonder what all that loading is for since textures still pop in after finally spawning in the game world.

After finally being ready to play the player is greeted with delightful 30 FPS that just love to dip into the low 20s. Might I add this is on the Xbox One X. Not only does the game have a hard time loading textures but also loading the contents of barrels which is actually hindering gameplay. Talking about hindering gameplay: The game has lags and bugs all around. Want to fall through your ship into the water? No problem! Want to fight other players and have an extra challange by not being able to see them? The game has you covered! Want to die and get stuck in a neverending loadscreen? It truely is an adventure. Of course the described problems are the worst case. It's not always that bad but it should never get that bad in the first place. The games design makes players go on hour long adventures sometimes. Having that adventure ruined by a bug shouldn't be as common as it is.

Compared to other Xbox One titles (even those with much higher graphical fidelity) this game has awful performance. Having a game (with competetive elements!) locked at 30 FPS and not ensuring that it atleast stays at that count is a bit embarrassing. I primarily play SoT on PC, have put quite some hours into it, and I really do have to wonder if the Xbox version is just a build without the bugfixes and performance improvements since the PC version is running very smoothly. What is holding the Xbox version back? Bad optimization? I refuse to believe that it's the fault of the hardware when there are other games that not only look but run better.

What makes these problems so incredibly frustrating is the fact that SoT has strong PvP and competetive elements. Loosing a fight due to the inability to play the game properly is infuriating and sadly a daily reality on Xbox for many players. Especially load times for respawning are a major issue that has to be adressed and that has been brought up time and time again on this forum.

So let's start with suggestions on how to fix this:

Stop forcing 4K and implement graphics settings
Implement a similar system to Monster Hunter World. Have an FPS priority mode which lets you play at a smaller resolution with less detail. I do believe that there is a big section of players that would gladly accept reduced graphical fidelity for better performance.

Actually fix major problems
Bugs (such as cosmetics changing randomly for players after logging in) have had fixes announced but have not been fixed. It really is a slap in the face of everybody who values this game (especially a game that only has cosmetics as a reward). Please address the load times. They ruin the experience and make the game quite exhausting.

Crossplay opt-out
It has been announced a long time ago and seems to be the easiest solution. Instead of having to fix the game you can just fix the most unfair part of its PvP gameplay. This has already been discussed in other threads (many of them locked) and is very much wanted by Xbox players. I will mention preemptively that it's very unlikely that this would lead to empty server on the PC side. Even if 100% of Xbox players chose to opt out there are still enough PC players to fill servers.

Honestly, it's sad seeing SoT in the state it is in. Rare, fix your game.

I think it would be cool to add a new type of belt or something that went across the shoulder and maybe even make it a new clothing section entirely?

2. I know that crossplay is harsh against pc players and i do think it should It should be optional, similar to fortnite. I know there's a preference thing in the settings but i still come across pc players and i get totally dumped on lol.
3. Finally, i think the swords should be nerf or at the very least bring back the knock back of the guns. It was the only thing between you and getting spammed with the annoying sound of being cut to shreds. The sword doesn't neet to be this powerful and we shouldnt get locked in place while getting hit.

I doubt devs will even see this but i said my piece lol

How about making a flag with the Windows logo on it for PC players, and an Xbox logo for Xbox players to show who there are.

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?

I have this game for the Xbox one and it is a digital version. I play often but almost every time I play the game crashes on me mid-game, launch, at any time it is very annoying. I tried all the troubleshooters but still nothing. I’ve deleted the game and re-dowloaded it and it still crashes on me. I would like some help or something because this is a huge inconvenience.

I would like to suggest a new option to invite friends to a serve, not to sail with you but as another crew on the waters. To be able to show off your skills AGAINST your friends and hunt them down!!

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?

How do i get accses to this on Xbox?
Download our Creator Asset Pack of imagery, audio and visuals that can make creating content easier!

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?

Hey everyone,

This is one of many attempts at this as I am pretty new at Game Streaming. Anyways, me and my crew are soloing a sloop and run across a meg, 2 skele sloops and lots of loot.

Anyway, I appreciate some feedback on it, what can we do to help our channel grow and more.

See you on thr seas!
