The current state of the game is borderline unplayable.

    For the last 2 seasons server stability has been terrible, and with each season it seems to get worse. This season is no different, ping spikes constantly. It’s only in Sea of Thieves as well.

    Cheaters are back like never before.

    Y’all are ruining the solo experience.

    Buckets apparently have bucket reg issues, not every bucket takes the water level down leading to sinking at times.

    And plenty of other bugs, and the most annoying is when the ocean freezes in time forcing you to change servers to “fix” the issue.

    I had 3 friends start playing the game obsessively about 2 months ago, these issue have made all three of them stop playing. This game is in the worse state it has ever been in.

    I don't know about unplayable, but it's certainly less fun, in my experience. I think the game desperately needs some rigorous TLC. I know there are different teams involved in content creation and game health, but adding content can only do so much to retain players. Players won't stick around if they're constantly being frustrated by bugs and such.

    I took a bit of a step back from Sea of Thieves recently, playing it far less, not because of lack of content or because I don't love the world, but because of the amount of bugs and, especially, server performance. My typical ping is around 60-80 on EU or 120-150 on NA East but that can easily spike to 200-400 randomly.

    I don't run into cheaters often because I rarely do hourglass, but even Adventure PvP can be frustrating when the game doesn't perform as it should.

    Sea of Thieves used to be my "go to" game because it was so easy to pick up and I loved playing it. These days I have to mentally prepare before launching it.

    I have now been drowned by a team of weak cheaters, just because I have a slide show on my screen, everything is teleporting, impossible to play the game.

    been playing on and off for like 5 years and I always get rubber banding issues on ships, quite annoying, first time on xbox was possibly due to wifi, but now im hardwired via ethernet to my modem, no significant spikes, like only 13 ms at most, and the rubber banding is always there, I wish they would focus on the server performance, like I can excuse server issues on games like squad where the servers are community run, but sea of thieves is backed by one of the largest company in human existence, and they can't allocate just a bit more funding to servers.

    “Unplayable” he says but why do I keep seeing other players including myself playing normally? And having a jolly good time.

    Cheaters are back like never before.

    Did they ever leave?

    The servers are pretty bad i love this game i can't even go on the high seas when you're single player if it does let me when I see two galleons from a distance for the burning blade from distance the game kicks me when I go on the other one, that's not the high seas all the islands are not fully loaded in i have to wait forty five minutes or more to have the island loaded in fully once it's fully loaded in i tried to turn the treasure to different merchant and none of them are loaded in then once I wait long enough the game kicks me i don't know if it's too many things all at one time if you have hackers on the high seas that might clash with everything else and it trickles down to different servers i uninstalled it five times and reinstalled it five times something is clashing and it's kicking people off the servers and then fifteen or twenty minutes ago i tried to go on i'm loaded in i move twenty feet from plunder outpost six holes and the whole entire ship went on fire and I'm underwater with the ship.
    On fire underwater. I don't know what they did different or added. Somewhere the servers are clashing.
    It's possible if there's too many hackers. The balance is going to get thrown off on all the servers. Somewhere it's overloading and i just tried to log on just a second ago it's not letting me log in at all. It's freezing up and it goes to black screen and then the game crashes, and then I have to restart everything i hope they fix it soon. [mod removed] i have a picture. I don't know how to attach it to this that is my email, and that's my cell phone number.
    I could email you the picture or text you the picture I have to show you how the game is
