Report Feature in-game, PLEASE.

  • We encountered a group of players clearly cheating - walking across water, teleporting to islands, sailing faster than any other vessel, and completely unable to die. They were also using racial slurs. Since none of us were streaming or recording, we have no option to report this activity. The game desperately needs an in-game report feature.

  • It would be a good thing, but let me play devil's advocate.

    Presumably it would take additional server capacity to record and store on demand periods of time that are flagged by players for evidence (can't just take action on report alone too open to abuse). But given that there are nefarious characters out there, is this record and use up memory function not also open to abuse I.e spamming for the sake of affecting server performance etc.

    It's no simple thing.

    The report function is already in game for the categories that can be done without evi I.e ship and pet name. You can even do others but will get prompt saying you still need to provide evidence.

  • There is an in-game report feature already in the game. However evidence must be attached via the support site.

  • In game reporting is a waste of time. They always ask for more evidence anyway regarding cheating/verbal abuse etc etc.

    You should record all your gameplay, if you don't not much can be done. Then upload the video to Youtube or similar and submit a ticket here: https://support.seaofthieves.com/requests/new

    I don't play any game online without recording.

  • @captdirtyoar Youtube is good unless whatever's being reported is against Youtube's terms of service as well [eg. Hate Speech]. then youtube can take it down, even if it's unlisted.

  • One thing about toxic and problematic players. Is that can’t stop doing what they do. They can’t shut it or go silent.

    So that gives you enough time to screenshot and get up some recording software (something every pc should already have) and press a button/key. As they continue.

  • @ablepirate
    Make it private. I have multiple reports still there. Also edit it to the core things. 5 Min is all you need. Microsoft has free edit software. It takes 10 min to make a 5 min vid.

    I've reported many people being toxic, saying horrible things including cheaters. I have it on YouTube set to unlisted and submitted it to Rare. Never had them take it down yet.

  • An in-game report feature would help a lot just to identify the character who harassed you. Even with video footage unless they are writing or you can get a clear picture with their name you won't know who they are to report them.
