More land lubbers than anticipated!

[Cantore 55]

AHOY MATES!

Currently, as everyone knows, there's a terrible issue with PvE'rs getting any land. We've all heard the suggestions thus far, and they're good... but I haven't seen these, and it has surprised me (forgive me if I'm wrong, 'cause I've been looking for a suggestion like this, and I haven't seen it yet...)

Only 2 Suggestions:

1) Limit Tundra servers to 1 vertical row of servers in the North (A1 - O1) and 1 row of Tundra servers in the South. In their place, give us an extra row of Temperate zones in the north and south, and an extra row of tropics in the north and south.

REASONING: Few players can survive more than 5 minutes in the Tundra area, and frankly, it's viciously ridiculous with wolves, lions (which shouldn't be there anyways), and other vermin. Setting up base there is suicidal and most players can't handle it. Let the few die-hard players still have a few islands in the tundra, but having 6 rows of Tundra on the map and only 4 rows of tropics and 4 rows of temperate is just plain silly.

2) Make another Official PvE server with the above changes. LOL

How about 'Get rid of the Damned'

I never wanted to be a land lubber in the first place. I wanted to live off my ship and explore, taking on supplies as I travelled, trading with locals, and bringing back my bounty to a small, off-shore dockyard/workshop that only needed a tiny spit of rock to be placed where I could build my future/replacement ships and make upgrades.

Instead I'm stuck with a rather large land claim that I'm only hanging onto/derping around with because there is no future for me at sea with the Damned everywhere, most of my friends are in the same boat... or, land claims. Being in boat is exactly where we're not. If we could survive out there, I'd give up the prime land claims in a heartbeat.

dont want the E taken away they need to spread them out more , htey are always clumped up 4-6 at a time

just also had this idea (posted somewhere else): Lets build floating structures on the oceans, by connecting rafts and add the ability to build on rafts. Also yesterday many of the costal rock formations are not "solid ground": when swimming to land you glide/slip UNDER the land structure, seeing textures from below, swimming in an underground ocean.

I don't really like any of these options. So here's my ideas!

I think the diminishing returns on claim flags should be a thing. Claim all you want, but the more you claim, the less protection time you have on that flag. Could even add in making the size of the claim area smaller with each new flag. Eventually, anyone will hit a point where it's just not possible to maintain the timers on the flags and will be forced to stop or the size of the claim would be pointlessly small.

Could solve the people sinking boats by weight by making them only recognize the weight of company/alliance members. Would fix the problem in pve and still allow people to board boats in pvp to kill crew and players during a battle.

In regards to Damned ships

I wouldn't want to see them removed entirely but seriously, they need to knock down the numbers a bit. I built a sloop and was taking it to another area and in 1 server I saw maybe 5 or 6 different Damned ships. They were all fairly close together as well.

That's another issue. They seem to spawn in the same areas together like there isn't some kind of check to see if one is within range of the spawner.

Come to think of it, that's a solution. If the spawns work like they do on ark. you could just set 4 spawners, 1 in each quadrant of a server, and have each one spawn a Damned ship with a check to see if there is another one in that area before spawning a new one. Hell, you could even add a condition to that check to allow a second one to spawn occasionally. I'd also make it so the ships stay in their quadrant as well. After you fix them, then you can add other dangers to the ocean to keep it deadly, but provide a nice variety of shit to kill people. These boats are just boring and a pain with the way they are. I'd rather lose boats to dragons, mermaids, sirens, or other players than the same thing constantly.

Actually some excellent ideas here!
