sora 4 Posted January 7, 2019 This has to be fixed. There's nothing you can do to stop players from over weighting your ships and erasing your progress. I just woke up to all my boats sunk and watched the guy leave a shitty message on my flag and leave. I don't understand why this hasn't been acknowledged by devs or fixed yet. Your boats just should not take damage from weight while they are anchored because it is the biggest tool people are using to grief right now and several companies have started quitting the game because the same group of chinese players wipe every boat on our island every night. Do something about it about it or at least let the players know a fix is coming soon/eventually. I'm done playing until then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malagos 1 Posted January 7, 2019 I agree that people should not be able to sink other players ships in PvE. However, they need to provide a way to deal with raft blockage. We have a rather immature group that keep blocking our ships on with rafts or spamming our port with rafts and leaving them anchored there. How am I meant to remove them without intentionally sinking them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MindOfMadness 98 Posted January 7, 2019 In Ark if one boat was stationary the moving one would just pass through. This is PvE so there's no reason you shouldn't be able to phase through a stationary raft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would still just pass through it when you were moving and their raft is not. The bigger issue comes from spawning on a bed you have phased into their boat. That was one of the problems with Ark.... Until they made it so you couldn't spawn to a bed that was blocked by anything, like another raft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maar 17 Posted January 7, 2019 Lost a ship this morning. It was parked by our shipyard. Someone decided they didn't like it for whatever reason.. and poof, all that work gone. I agree, please do something to stop the sinking of ships on pve, and something to help those that get blocked in. It's getting old, quickly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenguard 37 Posted January 7, 2019 I mean in Ark if your raft was over weight it just didnt move, same with dino's been suggested that they change it to this idk why they did not do this in the first place, still forces you to take limited supplies.

Should be able to push rafts out of the way without causing damage if that's the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caps 8 Posted January 7, 2019 Some encouragement, reading atlas steam forums. A developer has responded saying they are looking into this. Look for posts on the forum from Jesse Rapczak. Just accidentally found he is responding there on some issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenguard 37 Posted January 7, 2019 As for the boat blocking people suggested something for that to, allow the boat to have a claim timer perhaps have a mini flag for around ships yards to detect ships from another company in the way, this way don't get punished for going ashore on a entire claimed island, only for blocking docks.

Littlelucifer 22 Posted January 7, 2019 Alot of tribes are doing everything they can now a lot are mad when you say they cant have land. Our islands are over crowded so now is when the major griefers come in. Some of these changes take time but some of these changes need to be done asap, watched a whole tribe lose 8 of there ships people were kiting in ghost ships onto them at the docks and others were taking there ships and then kiting certain pets onto the docks then onto the boats. This and the cheating for locked doors and craft tables and preservation bins need to be addressed. This wrecking the bds and everything is the same issue we had in ark when it first started cant it be fixed the same way? and for everyone who has lost all there ships. I know rollbacks are out of the question but if it its not encouraged then it needs to be stated on the rules . Kiting ships using speed hacks glitching through walls etc 2 days 16 players have quit not because of bugs but because everything they own was taken and ships were kited. Any chance in future water palisades and land palisades and locks on craft benchs and a lockable preserve ration bin no use playing when you cant save matts or keep your ship safe. Or grab the crops and save for a good tame. Good game alot of potential but alot of lets break the rules attitude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maar 17 Posted January 7, 2019 I guess I don't understand the pleasure derived from sinking (non blocking) ships. We don't have land. We are in a lawless zone, and just trying to keep things going. To just come by and sink ships seems strange to me. I don't have an Ark background, so I don't know why some kind of system that was used in Ark was not applied to this game. However, I'm guessing they must have a reason for not including it in the game; knowing the same prior issues were in Ark to some degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
