I can't join my friend's crew, and keep getting the GROOMEDBEARD error code. I can't find any kind of information about this code. I've restarted all relevant apps several times, and even enabled a VPN, but still no luck. What can I do? :(
GROOMEDBEARD Error Code
@kapten-teo Same issue here. Right at the end of an Athena, drop for this undocumented Groomedbeard error.
The official Beard Error FAQ suggests creating a New Support Ticket if your error isn't covered.
I would suggest a ticket and hope someone can help you :)
Edit: Didn't realize the OP was 2 months old, but perhaps my post will still help someone.
Tonight, my crew was running a galleon and the other three all left the server to go check something. I managed to nab a Reaper Bounty, and then managed to hang onto it for over an hour as a Groomedbeard error stopped anyone from joining/rejoining my crew. Sadly, I was the only crew member who didn't need the Bounty for the commendations.
@kapten-teo got disconnected today during an Athena voyage, tried to join back up (we were at the end of the quest) got a GROOMEDBEARD error and was unable to rejoin that particular group. Terrible. Did a restart of my whole comp and everything.
Ahh groombeard.
It occurs when you haven't engaged in PvP in a certain amount of time.
Its Rares clever way of trying to force you into arena or other equally exciting games such as fortnite.
If you install fortnite, pubg, etc it usually solves the issue.
Dont worry you dont need to actually play those games!!I got the Groomedbeard error today, too. We were also sailing a Quest for Athena, almost entered the last chapter, when I had to go afk for a few minutes. When I came back the game already disconnected me automatically and I couldn't rejoin because of Groomed error.
After reading all the posts here, I start wondering if this is a trick to block "Crewhopper" from grabbing one crew loot after another by joining different people just like the first Pirate Legend did. If this should be the case, it's trash and should be removed immediately, because it's harming more people who dcd because they had stuff to do irl, than some streamers who are abusing their communities. If this is not the case, goddamnit rare, just describe the mistake anywhere so that we know how to fix it, cause this error turned my 3 hours of fun and adventure into a bad mood for the rest of the day. Thank you therefor!@ThiccCorndog437 @Nodxchi
@Roverandom5158 is a troll, it has nothing to do with pvp. my guess is that judging by the many times I have gotten and how others say they have gotten it, it has something to do with the game removing you but failing to fully remove your data from that crew so when you try to rejoin it breaks and might think your still there, thus blocking you from actually joining? its a long shot but its my theory, again I can assure you that it has NOTHING to do with pvp and rare is not trying to discourage anyone from playing the game.Just got a Groombeard error today as soon as my buddy and I finished a skull fort and we also had a lv 5 reapers emissary flag also had a similar problem after finishing a FOTD a few weeks ago and did a request and the people reply to you and say " we will look into it" and mark the claim as "resolved" they literally dont care at all about the people who make them money and play their game the support is USELESS just have to eat the L on the chin and to the person who said "its about not PVP" ypur wrong because before the fort I sunk multiple ships. I believe its just a glitch or error in the game that they cant fix. NBA2k20 is on GamePass so im playing that now and Sea of Thieves is on its last stand befre getting the uninstall from the xbox. Cheers!
