@@raccoonvr5014 oh well. My last resort before quiting the game is playing safer seas with my cousins. At least I can flex the skeleton and ghost curse to them.
I usually jump on the PS5 when things have been a bit too sweaty on the PC version. Sometimes I even venture to Safer Seas to smash out pesky commendations that need to be done. But yes, console only servers seem like the last saving grace currently.
@@Vodaclall lets just hope they dont find a hack to get into safe sea servers, ive found that safe sea even though being "single player" is still online
In over 3500 hours and a LPT of hourglass I've never once seen a cheater ok Xbox servers. I'm level 1300 servants and 1250 guardians. If I go to PC servers I find them pretty fast. I don't think edist on Xbox servers, if they did I would have absolutely found them by now.
When I notice I'm running into cheaters I just switch back to playing with consoles. What is really strange is how cheaters always act so weird. It's not even that they're cheating its that their social skills are very awkward.
Cheaters all seem like a bunch of overgrown basement-dwelling toddlers who've never spoken to another real person. Welcome to a society that was raised by social media.
DDoSing is far more than just cheating, it’s illegal to interfere with a network like that in most countries. So the cheaters are playing a dangerous game with consequences far greater than being banned.
You'll only be caught for DDoSing if you do it to a govt body or corporation, and you live in the same country as your victim. Really though, when games switch to easy anticheat they are as good as dead :(
The SoT community is struggling, I'm seeing die hard players quit the game entirely every day because of the constant harassment. We raise the reports night after night but the same cheaters appear to just make a new account and be back in the game, seemingly in less time than it takes us to report them. Then to see videos come out from Creators, but with Rare silent and attempting to Gaslight it's community with it's "There is no war in Ba Sing Se" mentality it's a serious concern, there needs to be more transparency. The "trust me bro" mentality that Rare is using at the moment will only get them so far until the community just feels like were on a sloop with an open crew mate who has gone afk and doesn't speaking in VC, while being in the middle of a Ghost fleet's broadside just stuck bucketing for our lives. Because sometimes saying nothing, speaks louder than saying something. Rare: "We've implemented Anti-Cheat", "we've put together a QA Team to address Server stability" Cheaters: "oH ReEAaAlLY!?"
@@Leifreon CallingAlmond has been kicked from the game multiple times due to EAC. I once saw him booted for… *checks notes*… hitting the other ship with a cannonball. It’s very broken.
This is happening to so many people, including MummyHorizon, GigglingGhosty, SOT partners and average swabbies like myself. I'm marked on a "female" player list which means I'm constantly harassed, threatened and targeted which makes the game unplayable. This is a game marketed as a children's game but it is so toxic and damaging.
It's saddening to hear that that is your experience. Considering the levels Rare goes to show that everyone is accepted on the Sea Of Thieves, many instances like that have been occurring. The fact that these men (and it's always men doing this) feel the need to harass you shows how insecure and toxic they are. It wouldn't be tolerated if they weren't cheating on their main accounts, and the fact makes the situation worse. I sincerely hope it gets better for you.
@@Goggyegg if you have a problem simply stop existing around the problem. It's your fault for being around the problem anyway. If you ever are a part of any negative experience: just don't. You are not the problem solver you think you are.
i condone the anticheating cheaters, they may be cheating but they only do it to stop the other ones, they mostly consist of people who have been wrongly banned or streamers that have just gotten tired of it, i fully accept those ones
@@justinmarlowe6999No, no. It does take a while for cheaters to get banned. Buuuut if you are reported for toxicity (especially spawn camping) you get banned before the cheater.
@@justinmarlowe6999 that's so damn false. That's how it SHOULD BE but it's not. Many players have been banned for spawn camping despite it literally being a video game. The people who process reports hardly even look for evidence aside from "this guy killed me on my boat and it made me said" Plus instead of helping everyone (such as the people getting harassed by cheaters), the SoTcord mods only really help people who claim to be spawncamped. The mindset of those staff is mind boggling.
@captainshelf7 to bad it don't work when I report it then... and yeah it's a video game spawn camping g is just trolling... make the sink take the loot and move on not ruins someone's time... it's just that a Game not a place for yall to cope with having trash lives 🤣🤣
I think the guy cheating to counter cheaters is brilliant. I know using cheats in general is bad and cheating is NOT okay. But Rare is doing absolutely nothing to combat these cheaters so why cant we. The In-Game sea of thieves is at war and now so is the community!
I was gonna say if I'm gonna cheat it's going to be to stop the cheaters. So others can enjoy the sea at peace without being bombarded constantly and harassed
@@arthurmorgan7086 well what choice do we have if the main authority (rare) is doing next to nothing about it? might not be ideal, but these vigilantes might be all we have now
SoT is approaching the same fate as the TF2 bot situation. Unfortunately, although SoT has active developers, unlike TF2, SoT has much smaller PvP interactions, so recording and reporting cheaters takes much longer to process. Even if Rare's Anti-cheat team/mods were efficient, this problem ultimately starts from the anti-cheat measures that are clearly not working. Even if SoT had a successful campaign like SaveTF2 (the results are tentative if it even worked) I doubt we'd see much progress or change. This is like any war and it needs to constantly be updated. And once it's updated, the cheats are updated and so on.
@@AsaelusTF2 was on my mind a bit during these interactions, but having never played it, I couldn’t comment on it (although I’ve listened to a podcast that exclusively addressed the problem). Agreed though, developers will constantly be on the backfoot if they’re not proactive, and that’s not always a bad thing, so long as they’re being consistent and stopping this from occurring, or curbing it. Do I expect 100% no cheaters? No. Do I expect to at least play the game and not be inconvenienced every session? yes. They (Rare) has to address it soon!
Devs that don't care about anything but childrens pocket money they would rather watch theb streams than handle cheaters these nepo baby gangs own all games studios, I cringe at their twitters
You are right. The game isn't Dying .....yet. But I'm in a guild of 24 people and we can't get more than 2 people on at a time because they don't want to get cheated.
@@GhostElite850 no it wasn't a lie it was an error. I got the member number and number of ships in our fleet swapped. Still can't get more than 2 on at a time because of the problem at hand. Excuse the hell out of me. But it detracts nothing from the point
Last time I played, I saw a ship on the horizon, then got yellowbearded, then the game uninstalled itself. Idk if it was an easy anticheat exploit or what, but everything else on the drive was still there, only the SoT folder was gone. At this point, every game I have played that uses easy anticheat has more cheaters than games with no anticheat measures. Makes the days of everything-gamespy look like a dream.
Quite a few pointing out the cheaters strange social skills. It’s because these kind of people are the ones that are usually bullies but too weak to bully people irl and are probably bullied themselves irl for being freaks. Never let these kind of people get hold of pew pews
My first Athena/Reaper hourglass dive with friends was Chinese speaking cheaters who spawned on our ship with a keg while we were still coming out of the dive. And of course when we requed, it was them again. Killed what little love I was going to attempt to give the game again.
11:16 is a pak file visually the person sniping cant see the megalodon but the person on the fort can because he is the only one with the pak file installed this works on only client side and no one else in the game can see the megalodon
I’m rooting for the anti cheaters because they aren’t using there cheats too ruin peoples days there using them to make peoples day. Yes it’s still not okay too use cheats AT ALL, but it’s nice to know there’s people that actually want to use cheats to help fight against other cheaters.
I get where you're coming from but the more people use cheats for any purpose, even a good one, it means the cheat/hacking devs will keep coding and looking for exploits. It simply has to be "unprofitable" in terms of time and effort for these devs to bother, that's down to Rare to patch these exploits.
I started the game a year and a half late, still have thousands of hours in. Loved it, was one of my favorite games of all times in my nearly 40 years of gaming. Made a lot of friends in my many hours on the sea. The removal of the Arena was the beginning of the end because it is where most cheaters congregated originally, and if not just cheaters, exploiters. Then moving from Tall Tale content to Scenario content was a horrible decision. The story has been lacking for a while now. The integration of new mostly ranged weaponry and just poorly balanced adjustments to the ships, etc etc. The list is ever growing. The cheating is the worst problem in the game and there are so many that cheat, quite a few streamers as well. NAL was flooded with it. The lack of anti-cheat and real punishment from the side of Rare in reported content is just sickening. I used to look forward to hopping on even if my duo/friends/crew were not available and just seeing what adventure the sea offered at any given time.. now I barely get on when really good friends want to hop on and play. The removal of arena and the implementation of the new pvp focused content isn't well done. The diving system is horrible. It shouldn't exist. Actually sailing to and from was an integral part of the game and should've never incorporated diving as a version of travel. The hit registry, the higher ping on most servers in comparison to what they used to be, the consistently poor decisions in game change that affects playability for every encounter not just few exceptions and the cheating problem has killed a huge portion of the community and my personal love for the game. Very few of my friends still play at all, and what do, play very, very little in comparison and would happily play if the game didn't have the problems it has now that it didn't have before. I hate to see it and good on you for trying to get the word out more. So many people live in the dark or don't truly understand the amount of rampant cheating that is going on, or what is happening to them, especially a lot of the newer playerbase.
I been having these cheaters/hackers telling me that I need to remove myself from the genepool. And they even caused a few 9-year-old's permanently leave the game bawling their eyes out. They screamed at the kids and cursed at them horribly, and kept on killing them and sinking their ships even upon respawn. Instantly teleporting to their location, freezing them in place, and killing them, over and over and over again, while screaming and being horrible to the kids. And even going as far as screaming at them to remove themselves from the gene pool. They even disabled my mic, so I couldn't try to comfort the kids.
That's what happens when you try contort your community into something else the only ones to blame are the devs, I got temp banned for saying the f word like fkin is vocabulary in Scotland lol
@@MaxMesser69 thank you for the kind words! These SoT videos have reinspired my love of video editing, so your comment means the world to me, thank you :)
I feel lucky I never encountered a cheater here in South America servers, but my guild mates have clips of them encountering cheaters in hourglass battles. I fear that it is only a matter if time until I find one. I also had one encounter where a couple of guys said things to me that felt like sexual harassment a few seasons ago. And I don't want that to keep happening. I guess it's time for me to move on to Safer Seas.
And that sucks because you shouldn't have to move to Safer Seas. You've done the right thing, obeyed the ToS, and yet feel the need to distance yourself from experiencing the full version of the game without limitations. It sucks, it really sucks.
Honestly console servers are my saving grace. while it may not be insanely kind people i haven’t heard anyone tell me to kill my self for a month. And a added benefit it would be extremely hard to cheat on these servers
Rare will only bother once it starts to affect their bottom-line, until then so long as the new players keep buying in, paying for the seasons and the goodies, Rare don't care. It's so sad to see SoT going the way of so many games, slowly being flushed chasing the money.
After haveing 2 different solos that where able to board me while their ship was still shooting us. Put 9 shots below water and the ship was instantly repaired. I gave up on this game
eerily similar to some situations in the bf community such as creator AsheBF (now AsheWRLD) and many others were targeted and harassed for literal months by cheaters and stream snipers. Not to mention bfv released with no anti cheat, similar to sot, and just now got one this year so i feel you. Shit is rough not just on sot.
I have not played for about a year, but I returned last night and met a cheater within a few hours. Because I laughed that someone would cheat on a game like sea of theives and point out how sad that is he god mad. Long story short, he teleported on our ship with a keg, didn't manage to kill us, but took out our mast ect. We repaired, by which point the guy had come back with his ship and just nailed our mast and wheel from miles away. This went on for about an hour before we just left and uninstalled the game. EAC is trash.
I have been playing for a lot of hours in the last week, and have seen 0 cheaters, not that I don't believe its an issue, I just cant believe i'm that lucky
There’s been cheaters in every lobby for years, but they only get noticed when they can teleport onto your ship, which makes the modder problem much more obvious, that gets patched every so often so people think hackers are gone, but the esp/auto-aim mod menus still always work. Rare needs to patch ALL hacks or just remove the percentage cut from safer seas so that you can play in a private server without being penalized.
Would any (new or experienced) players be interested in safer seas if it was 100% rep and gold without level caps or restrictions? I personally would for certain achievements, peace of mind, trying dead content, gold farming, etc.
@@WezzyCruze In my eyes if person cheats on something or someone they love, it means they find something lacking in this love. Sometimes the "lacking" part is the most destructive, and works at expense of others satisfaction.
@WezzyCruze Don't quote me on this, but I was told it's because they want to spite Rare for banning them for Toxic Behavior. It's only worsened by people who play SoT but actively hate Rare and SoT itself, and the fact many cheaters are part of organized discords
The reason why you are lagging is due to your processor not your Internet connection the process can't interpret the commands being put in by computer thus making it overload and crash
The game is still good, I play every now and then with friends, don't see cheaters but I'm sure I piss people of when they don't fouce, I have robbed boats and chests from loads of players, People are to forced on burning my boat, and not looking after their items, I steel and hide their items, I'm not a great player I sometimes ask people to join me, so we have many ships, ..... if you cheat you will have a lot of people to mess with,...... sometimes I just have fun playing on my own... its easy to steal the burning blaze after someone else did all the work as they wait for the boat to sink,,, I jump on and vote to take over ... just need one vote, then the ship and crew is mine, Also people hide the chest in stupid places 😉 Cheating In a easy game just tells me you have no friends playing the game. Nice video, !
@@SJG.MYSTERYBOXGUY 3 main reasons for cheating. 1. You literally have no friends and lack the ability to make them, 2. You aren’t any good at the game without them and would sink to PvE, 3. You’ve already been banned in the game for breaking their ToS.
I don't necessarily think it's hyperbole to say that there's at least 1 cheater on every server. I quit the game during season 9 because I was encountering at least 1 cheater per session, completely ruining the fun, and we're now in season 13. If we assume that part of the playerbase has been negatively affected by cheaters like I have, to the point of quitting, and if we assume that the pool of cheaters has been growing (either because bad actors who didn't previously know that the cheats exist now do, or because victims of cheaters decide they're tired of being bullied and take matters into their own hands), and then stretch that problem across 4 seasons - the premise of at least 1 cheater per server isn't outside the realm of possibility. It's sad, really...
dude thank you so much iv had multibel games where iv had peopel shoting over to my ship when they have no angle this is a lode off my mind thanks again
That'd be the infamous "Crud-launch", but they can also teleport straight into your cannons if they're not loaded with flares to counter their software!
I suppose if they can't fix this shit as is the only thing to hope for would be a SoT2 where they actually account for this stuff from the ground level instead of tacking on some useless anti-cheat..
@@slimeypigeon8741 it feels a bit like that. Speaking with one of the other commenters on this video over on Twitter now and I’ve been shown how far back this goes.
@@WezzyCruze cheating is a MASSIVE problem in SoT at the moment, and has been since HG released to be honest. Happy to admit I am a PvP sweatlord, so know I was exposed to cheaters more often in HG, it was rare I went 2 sessions without seeing a cheater. Combined w/ Rares poor choices of updates / alterations to the game, the cheating situation atm is the straw that broke the camels back and why I am taking a break from the game. I just hope, hope, they see sense.
@@slimeypigeon8741 Yeah, the main reason I've only gotten both my PvP curses was due to how poor HG was at the start. If it wasn't 40+ minutes of waiting followed by being booted, it was cheaters instantly spawning on your ship and finishing you off before you'd risen out of the water. Take your break, hopefully something changes soon in the game.
I only play safer seas now due to this. Even if im not the target i get huge lag spikes, random sinking, and sometimes completely booted from the server Its dumb. If Valve can ban THOUSANDS of bots on a game they left to rot, rare has no excuses
Meanwhile me: Can't encounter hackers if I don't encounter players. Seriously, game gets way more fun played as a stealth game. It's not like encountering non cheaters doesn't lead to getting shot at anyway so it's double protection.
All the time Rare are making money and the cheat/hack devs getting kudos and their work gets used, everyone just carries on doing what they do and we players are the ones who suffer the brunt of Rare's refusal to deal with the problem.
@@newfie7559 if you’re new to the game, safer seas (solo player servers) on SoT is a great place to start and learn the ropes and mechanics of the game, hopefully it’s better by the time you’re ready for high seas.
@@WezzyCruze id rather enter high seas as soon as possible is the thing, since the main game and its full experience is with the players but if the cheaters are that much of an issue it seems like i wouldnt be able to play how i want

I heard from a player who is my friend that some good people just use cheat tools to keep them safe from other cheaters on high sea. Insanely bad gaming environment!
Is it worth to buy the game now? Bc its 50 percent off, and the game looks really good, but im seeing these videos and other reviews about cheaters and other bad things, and Idk if its worth to buy the game now.
Okay at first I was like "cheating problem I have noticed that" then you mentioned longer or straight up frozen black screen after deaths and now I'm thinking you might be onto something
Yeah, the crashing and instability of servers can certainly be tied to these cheaters / hackers from what we've since discovered. It's the only way they can sink a ship due to their inability to play the game decent enough #shotsfired
I want you to have fun but that's not going to happen unless A) you accept cheaters are on these shit games and roll with it or B) choose not to play games that refuse to put your money to work for the consumer when needed. There's no 'keep playing and hope it gets better'. That's the definition of insanity my man. Keep doing the same thing expecting different results. You're a nice dude, I want you to enjoy yourself and escape that bullshit. No one deserves to have to play in an environment that doesn't care about them enough to secure it. Triple A games aren't made for you, they aren't made for me. They are made for investors, shareholders, board members, and any poor consumers that get duped into buying the product thinking it's a game made for gamers. The fact they have posted repeated profits like any other company (as required by their investors) shows you they aren't putting ANY of that back into the game to make YOUR experience better. Why reward that? Why blame the cheaters? Is that easier than accepting that you possibly made a mistake and supported a company that REFUSES to improve anti-cheat measures? You can do it! Escape the bullshit! Screw Triple A gaming and gaming-as-a-service! EMBRACE THE REAL GAMER.
so i get this happen a lot im not going to lie i thought it was my internet but this only seems to happen when im live or in open crews makes you think
This is definitely a discouraging problem and it’s getting worse. Kinda cool that there was a sot cheater vigilante 😂 but at the same time Jesus it’s too easy for them. I love this game but it is incredibly annoying. I’ll go further into the problems of racism and sexism that’s gotten completely out of hand. Love your content btw
i played this game for the first time ever with my mates on the weekend i was having heaps of fun until after a couple hours we came across a group of cheaters one shotting us through walls and speed hacking, i jumped off for a bit came back on and we eventually came across another guy doing the same shit, i then quit and uninstalled the game its a shame like i said i was loving it
The only cheater i ever encountered was a boat called "regret" And it had it simply telaported behind us and then vanished And i never saw a cheater again Probably cuz i play on an xbox one tho
Well to make this a credible claim you should have your PING and FPS on screen. Then the viewers could watch the PING suddenly go up after the "Cheater's" remark.
@@andrewwinter7843 certainly, Millbear, my crewmate at that point in the video, uploaded the interaction on his TH-cam page. He fortunately has the ping in the top corner. You can see it for yourself. I’ve linked it below. th-cam.com/video/hlyN3kdA6RA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6nMDFPyoctkXxKxC So does that prove the claim more believable now? Let me know your thoughts.
If you want to be able to see something like that you need to modify your own game files to change the texture of the player or something the player is wearing/holding to a meg, cheaters won't look like this.
Damn just bought it for $20 and have mostly been watching videos on cheating and thr horrible war the Rare seems to have going against their own player base.
Theres 2 options they either fix whats wrong. Or raise the caps in safer seas. Why do i want to be in a toxic game im playing for fun. And why do i have to be punished for not wanting to be in the toxic zone.

@@drowsypaladin5754 more done to highlight the dire situation the game is in. If the Beetlegang kid thinks this is good screen time, he doesn’t know the world is laughing at him. I agree though. I was originally going to edit their names out and replace his voice, but it would have added two extra days to the editing.
its upsetting to see this while actually legitimate players that aren't cheating getting banned these cheaters are harrassing attacking other people with sexual assault Banning innocent people using the anti-cheat OCE servers are literally unplayable i can't play on my own servers with a cheater being dumbass and ruining the entire game for everyone all the while rare continues to ignore and do nothing while cheaters ravage the game
If I’m honest, GigglingGhosty’s situation is worse than mine, I won’t even compare it in size, it just is. How she’s been targeted is unfair and disturbing, and I think there’s a long road ahead for Rare to make us trust them in their development and ensure that members of the community can feel emotionally and mentally safe to play this game.
@@WezzyCruze the targetted harassment of streamers specifically women etc makes me scared to start streaming the game i love and have gotten both of the prestigious curses from pvp
@@SydneyPawYT not wrong. I was informed that streamers tied to creator crew / twitch have been targeted through their cheating / hacking software, pinging them when they join a server with a known streamer so they can harass them. I certainly picked a horrible time to make content of this game. Stay strong, hopefully it’s addressed and you can make content soon, I’ll tune in to support!
@@WezzyCruze As someone who used to be one such streamer, I can attest to that. The cheaters had/have a "list" and have bots hop servers scanning for names on that list, and once they find a match they bring in a crew. This is why I quit - the cheaters are to blame, but Rare bears the responsibility. Introducing a PVP-centric mode in season 9 in light of these issues which existed *before* the season dropped, without patching the ability to see all gamertags on the server and without any form of anticheat, is moronic incompetence at best and apathetic greed at worst.
Anti cheating cheaters are an odd issue to fix on the one hand they wouldnt exist if the game had no cheaters but the cheats let them pick out and kill other cheaters i think its not a stretch to say most people cheat because they are bad at the game so a skilled cheater against a bad one will hopefully kill the cheaters “fun” on the other hand i think its sadly more likely rare would ban these guys because the cheaters probably report them too or try to yellow beard and all that stuff so its ironic that the best defence against cheaters is anti cheaters
Exactly. I am considering buying this game but my friend just told me that people use cheating tool to anti-cheat. That's ridiculous! Rare should open all the content on the safer sea, where cheating won't be needed. They want to keep running PVP, but what I'd like would be a peaceful PVE with all PVE players and all the content I pay for.

When I notice I'm running into cheaters I just switch back to playing with consoles. What is really strange is how cheaters always act so weird. It's not even that they're cheating its that their social skills are very awkward.

Sea of Thieves is not dying it's being killed
DDoSing is far more than just cheating, it’s illegal to interfere with a network like that in most countries. So the cheaters are playing a dangerous game with consequences far greater than being banned.
You'll only be caught for DDoSing if you do it to a govt body or corporation, and you live in the same country as your victim.
Really though, when games switch to easy anticheat they are as good as dead :(
The SoT community is struggling, I'm seeing die hard players quit the game entirely every day because of the constant harassment. We raise the reports night after night but the same cheaters appear to just make a new account and be back in the game, seemingly in less time than it takes us to report them.
Then to see videos come out from Creators, but with Rare silent and attempting to Gaslight it's community with it's "There is no war in Ba Sing Se" mentality it's a serious concern, there needs to be more transparency. The "trust me bro" mentality that Rare is using at the moment will only get them so far until the community just feels like were on a sloop with an open crew mate who has gone afk and doesn't speaking in VC, while being in the middle of a Ghost fleet's broadside just stuck bucketing for our lives.
Because sometimes saying nothing, speaks louder than saying something.
Rare: "We've implemented Anti-Cheat", "we've put together a QA Team to address Server stability"
Cheaters: "oH ReEAaAlLY!?"
Doesnt' help that Easy Anti-cheat is the most useless PoS anti-cheat available, and in most games that utilize it, it harms their performance.

@@justinmarlowe6999 that's so damn false. That's how it SHOULD BE but it's not. Many players have been banned for spawn camping despite it literally being a video game.
The people who process reports hardly even look for evidence aside from "this guy killed me on my boat and it made me said"
Plus instead of helping everyone (such as the people getting harassed by cheaters), the SoTcord mods only really help people who claim to be spawncamped. The mindset of those staff is mind boggling.

I think the guy cheating to counter cheaters is brilliant. I know using cheats in general is bad and cheating is NOT okay. But Rare is doing absolutely nothing to combat these cheaters so why cant we. The In-Game sea of thieves is at war and now so is the community!
Two wrongs don't make a right. "I'm just cheating to stop the cheaters" 😂. No. You're a cheater too
I was gonna say if I'm gonna cheat it's going to be to stop the cheaters. So others can enjoy the sea at peace without being bombarded constantly and harassed

SoT is become a superhero plot 🤣 Superhumans fighting superhumans to protect humans or destroy humans.
SoT is approaching the same fate as the TF2 bot situation. Unfortunately, although SoT has active developers, unlike TF2, SoT has much smaller PvP interactions, so recording and reporting cheaters takes much longer to process. Even if Rare's Anti-cheat team/mods were efficient, this problem ultimately starts from the anti-cheat measures that are clearly not working.
Even if SoT had a successful campaign like SaveTF2 (the results are tentative if it even worked) I doubt we'd see much progress or change.
This is like any war and it needs to constantly be updated. And once it's updated, the cheats are updated and so on.
@@AsaelusTF2 was on my mind a bit during these interactions, but having never played it, I couldn’t comment on it (although I’ve listened to a podcast that exclusively addressed the problem).
Agreed though, developers will constantly be on the backfoot if they’re not proactive, and that’s not always a bad thing, so long as they’re being consistent and stopping this from occurring, or curbing it. Do I expect 100% no cheaters? No. Do I expect to at least play the game and not be inconvenienced every session? yes.
They (Rare) has to address it soon!
Devs that don't care about anything but childrens pocket money they would rather watch theb streams than handle cheaters these nepo baby gangs own all games studios, I cringe at their twitters
@@callumholland8932 yeah, definitely suspicious.
Sometimes I think Rare is making and selling the cheats themselves.
You are right. The game isn't Dying .....yet. But I'm in a guild of 24 people and we can't get more than 2 people on at a time because they don't want to get cheated.
@@TheBigdave316 it do be like that sometimes!
Our Guild is experiencing a combination of that and incorrect Yellowbeards. Seems that wasn't as fixed as Rare said...
You are in a guild of 33 people when the player cap is 24? unless you meant 23 you are lying my friend.
@@GhostElite850 no it wasn't a lie it was an error. I got the member number and number of ships in our fleet swapped. Still can't get more than 2 on at a time because of the problem at hand.
Excuse the hell out of me. But it detracts nothing from the point
Sounds exactly like I'd expect a weasel cheater would sound like
Last time I played, I saw a ship on the horizon, then got yellowbearded, then the game uninstalled itself. Idk if it was an easy anticheat exploit or what, but everything else on the drive was still there, only the SoT folder was gone. At this point, every game I have played that uses easy anticheat has more cheaters than games with no anticheat measures. Makes the days of everything-gamespy look like a dream.
Quite a few pointing out the cheaters strange social skills. It’s because these kind of people are the ones that are usually bullies but too weak to bully people irl and are probably bullied themselves irl for being freaks. Never let these kind of people get hold of pew pews
Literally every time i log on to the game im met with some hackers. it's complete bs.
My first Athena/Reaper hourglass dive with friends was Chinese speaking cheaters who spawned on our ship with a keg while we were still coming out of the dive. And of course when we requed, it was them again. Killed what little love I was going to attempt to give the game again.
11:16 is a pak file visually the person sniping cant see the megalodon but the person on the fort can because he is the only one with the pak file installed this works on only client side and no one else in the game can see the megalodon
I’m rooting for the anti cheaters because they aren’t using there cheats too ruin peoples days there using them to make peoples day. Yes it’s still not okay too use cheats AT ALL, but it’s nice to know there’s people that actually want to use cheats to help fight against other cheaters.
But they are cheaters too
I get where you're coming from but the more people use cheats for any purpose, even a good one, it means the cheat/hacking devs will keep coding and looking for exploits. It simply has to be "unprofitable" in terms of time and effort for these devs to bother, that's down to Rare to patch these exploits.
amazing video mate
@@JonathanKing9608 thanks legend!
I started the game a year and a half late, still have thousands of hours in. Loved it, was one of my favorite games of all times in my nearly 40 years of gaming. Made a lot of friends in my many hours on the sea. The removal of the Arena was the beginning of the end because it is where most cheaters congregated originally, and if not just cheaters, exploiters. Then moving from Tall Tale content to Scenario content was a horrible decision. The story has been lacking for a while now. The integration of new mostly ranged weaponry and just poorly balanced adjustments to the ships, etc etc. The list is ever growing. The cheating is the worst problem in the game and there are so many that cheat, quite a few streamers as well. NAL was flooded with it. The lack of anti-cheat and real punishment from the side of Rare in reported content is just sickening. I used to look forward to hopping on even if my duo/friends/crew were not available and just seeing what adventure the sea offered at any given time.. now I barely get on when really good friends want to hop on and play. The removal of arena and the implementation of the new pvp focused content isn't well done. The diving system is horrible. It shouldn't exist. Actually sailing to and from was an integral part of the game and should've never incorporated diving as a version of travel. The hit registry, the higher ping on most servers in comparison to what they used to be, the consistently poor decisions in game change that affects playability for every encounter not just few exceptions and the cheating problem has killed a huge portion of the community and my personal love for the game. Very few of my friends still play at all, and what do, play very, very little in comparison and would happily play if the game didn't have the problems it has now that it didn't have before. I hate to see it and good on you for trying to get the word out more. So many people live in the dark or don't truly understand the amount of rampant cheating that is going on, or what is happening to them, especially a lot of the newer playerbase.
I been having these cheaters/hackers telling me that I need to remove myself from the genepool. And they even caused a few 9-year-old's permanently leave the game bawling their eyes out. They screamed at the kids and cursed at them horribly, and kept on killing them and sinking their ships even upon respawn. Instantly teleporting to their location, freezing them in place, and killing them, over and over and over again, while screaming and being horrible to the kids. And even going as far as screaming at them to remove themselves from the gene pool. They even disabled my mic, so I couldn't try to comfort the kids.
That's what happens when you try contort your community into something else the only ones to blame are the devs, I got temp banned for saying the f word like fkin is vocabulary in Scotland lol
That's rough I play on console so I haven't run into any cheaters yet
such a well made video
@@MaxMesser69 thank you for the kind words! These SoT videos have reinspired my love of video editing, so your comment means the world to me, thank you :)
I feel lucky I never encountered a cheater here in South America servers, but my guild mates have clips of them encountering cheaters in hourglass battles.
I fear that it is only a matter if time until I find one.
I also had one encounter where a couple of guys said things to me that felt like sexual harassment a few seasons ago. And I don't want that to keep happening.
I guess it's time for me to move on to Safer Seas.
And that sucks because you shouldn't have to move to Safer Seas. You've done the right thing, obeyed the ToS, and yet feel the need to distance yourself from experiencing the full version of the game without limitations. It sucks, it really sucks.
Honestly console servers are my saving grace. while it may not be insanely kind people i haven’t heard anyone tell me to kill my self for a month. And a added benefit it would be extremely hard to cheat on these servers
It is obvious, its so blatantly obvious, nice video man!
@@refinedzero thank you brother!
This is why all games need a toggle to turn on/off crossplay
I just hope rare will do something about that
Rare will only bother once it starts to affect their bottom-line, until then so long as the new players keep buying in, paying for the seasons and the goodies, Rare don't care. It's so sad to see SoT going the way of so many games, slowly being flushed chasing the money.
I thought I was going insane
After haveing 2 different solos that where able to board me while their ship was still shooting us. Put 9 shots below water and the ship was instantly repaired. I gave up on this game
@@RoninOfTheNight that sounds like multiple crews on the one ship, but hopefully an isolated incident.
@@WezzyCruze sadly not I watched it repair and shoot while I was on their ship. Really killed my motivation
eerily similar to some situations in the bf community such as creator AsheBF (now AsheWRLD) and many others were targeted and harassed for literal months by cheaters and stream snipers. Not to mention bfv released with no anti cheat, similar to sot, and just now got one this year so i feel you. Shit is rough not just on sot.
I have not played for about a year, but I returned last night and met a cheater within a few hours. Because I laughed that someone would cheat on a game like sea of theives and point out how sad that is he god mad.
Long story short, he teleported on our ship with a keg, didn't manage to kill us, but took out our mast ect. We repaired, by which point the guy had come back with his ship and just nailed our mast and wheel from miles away. This went on for about an hour before we just left and uninstalled the game.
EAC is trash.
I have been playing for a lot of hours in the last week, and have seen 0 cheaters, not that I don't believe its an issue, I just cant believe i'm that lucky
There’s been cheaters in every lobby for years, but they only get noticed when they can teleport onto your ship, which makes the modder problem much more obvious, that gets patched every so often so people think hackers are gone, but the esp/auto-aim mod menus still always work. Rare needs to patch ALL hacks or just remove the percentage cut from safer seas so that you can play in a private server without being penalized.
Would any (new or experienced) players be interested in safer seas if it was 100% rep and gold without level caps or restrictions? I personally would for certain achievements, peace of mind, trying dead content, gold farming, etc.
this game is dead without pvp
Cheaters are trying their best to put final nails into the coffin of this game.
@@LivonianGuy I just want to know why? Why destroy a game they claim to love?
@@WezzyCruze In my eyes if person cheats on something or someone they love, it means they find something lacking in this love. Sometimes the "lacking" part is the most destructive, and works at expense of others satisfaction.
@WezzyCruze Don't quote me on this, but I was told it's because they want to spite Rare for banning them for Toxic Behavior. It's only worsened by people who play SoT but actively hate Rare and SoT itself, and the fact many cheaters are part of organized discords
This is sadly why I only play in safer seas as of late, it's getting frustrating and Rare doesn't care.
Id bet beetlegang boss ends up on the news one day and not for good reasons. What a freak.

The reason why you are lagging is due to your processor not your Internet connection the process can't interpret the commands being put in by computer thus making it overload and crash
They really need to get on this problem fast
First HG match yesterday had a hacker that was boosting a non hacking player
The game is still good, I play every now and then with friends, don't see cheaters but I'm sure I piss people of when they don't fouce, I have robbed boats and chests from loads of players, People are to forced on burning my boat, and not looking after their items, I steel and hide their items, I'm not a great player I sometimes ask people to join me, so we have many ships, ..... if you cheat you will have a lot of people to mess with,...... sometimes I just have fun playing on my own... its easy to steal the burning blaze after someone else did all the work as they wait for the boat to sink,,, I jump on and vote to take over ... just need one vote, then the ship and crew is mine, Also people hide the chest in stupid places 😉 Cheating In a easy game just tells me you have no friends playing the game. Nice video, !
@@SJG.MYSTERYBOXGUY 3 main reasons for cheating. 1. You literally have no friends and lack the ability to make them, 2. You aren’t any good at the game without them and would sink to PvE, 3. You’ve already been banned in the game for breaking their ToS.
3:06 no wonder why most of the time i play im rubberbanding or just stuck in place. thought it was mostly bc of bad net code
That and people glitching servers for more chests etc... I've done that lol not cheating just exploiting
I don't necessarily think it's hyperbole to say that there's at least 1 cheater on every server.
I quit the game during season 9 because I was encountering at least 1 cheater per session, completely ruining the fun, and we're now in season 13.
If we assume that part of the playerbase has been negatively affected by cheaters like I have, to the point of quitting, and if we assume that the pool of cheaters has been growing (either because bad actors who didn't previously know that the cheats exist now do, or because victims of cheaters decide they're tired of being bullied and take matters into their own hands), and then stretch that problem across 4 seasons - the premise of at least 1 cheater per server isn't outside the realm of possibility.
It's sad, really...
Yea I had someone teleport behind me they never used a cannon nor swam just appeared behind me
yo im fucking dead this video is hilarious
Great vid
Thank you kindly!
Well, by watching you video, I realized I encountered a cheater 🤣 my wheel was turning by itself... Nothing worked. It was awful.
Maybe Rare should hire the cheats software developpers.
dude thank you so much iv had multibel games where iv had peopel shoting over to my ship when they have no angle this is a lode off my mind thanks again
That'd be the infamous "Crud-launch", but they can also teleport straight into your cannons if they're not loaded with flares to counter their software!
I suppose if they can't fix this shit as is the only thing to hope for would be a SoT2 where they actually account for this stuff from the ground level instead of tacking on some useless anti-cheat..

Happy to admit I am a PvP sweatlord, so know I was exposed to cheaters more often in HG, it was rare I went 2 sessions without seeing a cheater.
Combined w/ Rares poor choices of updates / alterations to the game, the cheating situation atm is the straw that broke the camels back and why I am taking a break from the game.
I just hope, hope, they see sense.
@@slimeypigeon8741 Yeah, the main reason I've only gotten both my PvP curses was due to how poor HG was at the start. If it wasn't 40+ minutes of waiting followed by being booted, it was cheaters instantly spawning on your ship and finishing you off before you'd risen out of the water.
Take your break, hopefully something changes soon in the game.

I only play safer seas now due to this. Even if im not the target i get huge lag spikes, random sinking, and sometimes completely booted from the server
Its dumb. If Valve can ban THOUSANDS of bots on a game they left to rot, rare has no excuses
Meanwhile me: Can't encounter hackers if I don't encounter players.
Seriously, game gets way more fun played as a stealth game. It's not like encountering non cheaters doesn't lead to getting shot at anyway so it's double protection.
The sad thing about this is that rare never really gonna fix it every time they Will fix it the ppl who develop those cheat will find a way around
All the time Rare are making money and the cheat/hack devs getting kudos and their work gets used, everyone just carries on doing what they do and we players are the ones who suffer the brunt of Rare's refusal to deal with the problem.

I want you to have fun but that's not going to happen unless A) you accept cheaters are on these shit games and roll with it or B) choose not to play games that refuse to put your money to work for the consumer when needed.
There's no 'keep playing and hope it gets better'. That's the definition of insanity my man. Keep doing the same thing expecting different results. You're a nice dude, I want you to enjoy yourself and escape that bullshit. No one deserves to have to play in an environment that doesn't care about them enough to secure it. Triple A games aren't made for you, they aren't made for me. They are made for investors, shareholders, board members, and any poor consumers that get duped into buying the product thinking it's a game made for gamers.
The fact they have posted repeated profits like any other company (as required by their investors) shows you they aren't putting ANY of that back into the game to make YOUR experience better. Why reward that? Why blame the cheaters? Is that easier than accepting that you possibly made a mistake and supported a company that REFUSES to improve anti-cheat measures?
You can do it! Escape the bullshit! Screw Triple A gaming and gaming-as-a-service! EMBRACE THE REAL GAMER.

Probably cuz i play on an xbox one tho
Do cheaters track your ship or the pirate?

@WezzyCruze I respect the TH-cam grind and it really did highlight how hopeless the cheaters in this game really are.
its upsetting to see this
while actually legitimate players that aren't cheating getting banned
these cheaters are harrassing
attacking other people with sexual assault
Banning innocent people using the anti-cheat
OCE servers are literally unplayable
i can't play on my own servers with a cheater being dumbass and ruining the entire game for everyone
all the while rare continues to ignore and do nothing while cheaters ravage the game
If I’m honest, GigglingGhosty’s situation is worse than mine, I won’t even compare it in size, it just is.
How she’s been targeted is unfair and disturbing, and I think there’s a long road ahead for Rare to make us trust them in their development and ensure that members of the community can feel emotionally and mentally safe to play this game.
@@WezzyCruze the targetted harassment of streamers specifically women etc makes me scared to start streaming the game i love and have gotten both of the prestigious curses from pvp
@@SydneyPawYT not wrong. I was informed that streamers tied to creator crew / twitch have been targeted through their cheating / hacking software, pinging them when they join a server with a known streamer so they can harass them.
I certainly picked a horrible time to make content of this game.
Stay strong, hopefully it’s addressed and you can make content soon, I’ll tune in to support!
@@WezzyCruze As someone who used to be one such streamer, I can attest to that. The cheaters had/have a "list" and have bots hop servers scanning for names on that list, and once they find a match they bring in a crew.
This is why I quit - the cheaters are to blame, but Rare bears the responsibility.
Introducing a PVP-centric mode in season 9 in light of these issues which existed *before* the season dropped, without patching the ability to see all gamertags on the server and without any form of anticheat, is moronic incompetence at best and apathetic greed at worst.
Anti cheating cheaters are an odd issue to fix on the one hand they wouldnt exist if the game had no cheaters but the cheats let them pick out and kill other cheaters i think its not a stretch to say most people cheat because they are bad at the game so a skilled cheater against a bad one will hopefully kill the cheaters “fun” on the other hand i think its sadly more likely rare would ban these guys because the cheaters probably report them too or try to yellow beard and all that stuff so its ironic that the best defence against cheaters is anti cheaters
Exactly. I am considering buying this game but my friend just told me that people use cheating tool to anti-cheat. That's ridiculous! Rare should open all the content on the safer sea, where cheating won't be needed. They want to keep running PVP, but what I'd like would be a peaceful PVE with all PVE players and all the content I pay for.
