Cpt. Peggy Leggy 20 Posted December 29, 2018 Too much whining here about being killed while offline, the claim system, whining about large companies, no place for solo play, too hard for small companies, waaa waa waa. About the only thing you should do to help them is make hired crew (maybe a lot) better and able to do more things. It's easy to get gold and 1g an hour per crew is kinda nothing. Allow them to level and get pretty strong, maybe make their pay go up a little every couple levels, but let them get nice and strong. Work on the AI, etc. I think that would help solo/small companies a lot TBH, allowing the NPC's to defend ships and bases when assigned to cannons etc so it's all not just all no risk killing. Other then that the game is pretty solid outside of some balancing tweaks and adding content which comes later. The ship to ship combat is fun as heck. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timelog 2 Posted December 30, 2018 In what way they want to fix it I don't care, but offline raiding is currently way to easy. There is basically no way to protect yourself from it. So if you feel people shouldn't complain, any tips for how to protect yourself and your stuff while offline would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bad News Bear 59 Posted January 2, 2019 I mean..... the lag and rubber banding is probably the #1 thing making the game stupidly hard, and from what I read WC’s priority is to ensure server stability. They are working on the biggest issue atm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you give them cannons, then players run around naked burn out their ammo. You set them only to hit ships, so your npc's then get sniped with carbines. There's no middle ground.

How exactly does this help small companies anyway? You improve the AI and think the big companies wont take advantage too? This is a troll thread right OP? I'm sure your not really THIS naive.

They are working on the biggest issue atm Server stability and latency to clients is this games largest issue. If they can figure that out and get the game to where it needs to be this game could be epic. If they do not figure this out it will prevent this game from reaching its potential.

BoomerMcFisticuffs 12 Posted January 4, 2019 Listen to the people whining about no fiber in the tundra regions. There's 1700ish plants that can grow in a similar environment, atleast a few could be used as a fiber or cordage, but if you're not going to fix that then go the complete opposite way and remove the insane number of berries and herbs in the area and make it a real struggle to survive there.
