Sea of Thieves Dev Tracker

If you're unsure of how to make sure you are made aware of issues when people find them, the answer is to actually read your dang forums. If someone makes a post on the insider forums outlining a clear bug or issue and a single Rare employee reads that, it should be pinned or logged or linked to whoever needs to start fixing it. It really is that simple. And if not a single Rare employee is reading them, then there is no point in having them. There is no excuse for a big bug to be mentioned in the Insider forums and then make it to the live game, other than "we didn't have time to fix it, but we know about it and are working on it", but we don't even get that. Even the barest minimum of communication in-house should be preventing that from happening, like I said, if a single Rare employee is actually reading anything on the Insider forums and doing the minimal work of forwarding it to somebody.

Speaking of that, what exactly is causing issues to remain in the game for mon...

I don't see how the game will survive with the way things have been going lately. The server performance is the worst its ever been and the gameplay is just clunky. It's frustrating to do any sorts of PvP at the moment and we received no new PvE content this update.

would it be beneficial to submit a new support ticket if the achievements aren't coming through ?

are we to assume the achievements should automatically pop once the issue is resolved with criteria being met but not unlocking achievements ? I've been sitting on the pirates life tall tale at 100 percent for a couple weeks and it still won't give it to me, and support just said "ya we r working on it sorry"

If rep per level is reduced does that mean guilds that focused on treasure will get a level boost once the update hits? Or will the new level requirements only affect future levels?

Is this something that has been tested at or close to capacity? Clearly the current server issues with the introduction of guilds -- which on the surface doesn't have a clear connection to server performance -- had an unanticipated effect.

It would be a shame to have another highly-touted feature introduced only to result in weeks of server instability and gameplay problems. Again.

The Hour Glass exploit was not only used for accelerated guild progression, but also for individuals to unlock the PvP curses. In my opinion action should be taken against individuals who used the exploit for any reason.

Overall it’s great seeing Rare be so transparent and communicative about the state of the game we all love.

I really hope for a treasure hunting buff.

With 3 daily players, we recently hit level 30. We have 6 semi-active players. We're in the top 500 Guilds in the emissary ledger.

It's a grind, but I feel like we might burn out if we play too much.

Having commendations behind Guild level 1'000 feels out of reach.

Fewer servers running on each virtual machine huh?

Gee, I wonder what pact Safer Seas will have in December where every single ship electing that option needs to have its own server.

Is it more likely in your estimation that we will see a buff to treasure hunting or a nerf to hourglass for guild rep? Or a bit of both?

Might be time to consider dropping support for old gen consoles. It’s holding the game back considerably.

nothing about hitreg? nothing at all? for real?

Edit: It's there

Small sample size but after I hitreg a pig 4 times in a row I definitely have some opinions about the state of "fixes" in this game.

Skull of Destiny still isnt working. Dropped two more quests over the day yesterday, 200 doubloons just gone. Moving CoF to the FotD but not fixing the skull of destiny seems like a huge misstep.

The canon bug needed to be fixed yesterday. Not a new bug, should be able to address it.

Choppy servers and bad hit reg is just something Ive learned to accept in this game, even though its also frustrating. Not to mention the rowboats clipping into stuff they shouldnt, did they mention that anywhere? I didnt see it mentioned.

Maybe nerf the aim assist a bit? I most multiplayer games it’s just a push in the right direction, but in this it’s pretty much aimbot for the pistol or blunder

There's a lot of armchair developers in the comments, jeez.

I appreciate the transparency and action. I'm not happy about the player/ship limits, but if it results in better gameplay then it's something. Hopefully it gives y'all the data and confidence you need for next steps!

I do appreciate the post, especially clarifying that it only 30 more chests this season not 60.

However, this is the exact kind of post I would also expect to see something regarding the painfully slow guild progression. That fact its not mentioned makes me think you guys think its in a good place. Its not.

Please rethink guild progression speed outside of guild emissary flag. The grind to 15 to unlock the flag is way disproportional to other emissary flags, even considering it an endgame version of such.

Any word on achievements being fixed? I feel like they've all just stopped tracking, and the one for completing the True Legend commendation still hasn't popped for me despite completing it a week or two ago.

Hey sonicbob, enjoying the season so far, but i have some concerns about two topics that i've faced first hand.

Any comments regarding crews absolutely glitching their way through hourglass levels and subsequently guilds by constantly matching against one single enemy ship?

Any comments on cheaters being able to fully close servers at will?

Other than that, i'm having a blast in season 10, my guild and I are having tons of fun using the new clothes and ranking our way up in our guild.
