captmoroni25 0 Posted January 15, 2019 What is the deal with places that don’t have any flags at all not being available to claim? There are chunks of land blank and no claims and I can’t place one because it’s not an “enemy” claim well I’m on PVE and it’s pretty stupid that these chunks of land can’t be claimed when they ain’t anybody else’s. And a huge sidenote, wolves are broke AF!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shimazu 3 Posted January 15, 2019 I guess the land you are talking about is lawless. The sectors that are arround a freeport are lawless and cannot be claimed so that new arrivals can gather materials to build something bigger than a raft that wont decay in 4 hours in the freeport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captmoroni25 0 Posted January 15, 2019 Thanks for the help but it’s not lawless, specifically in A14 and A15 in the snowy regions but it also happened in A8 which isn’t lawless, its very strange but thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And a huge sidenote, wolves are broke AF!! Are you trying to claim land that would overlap some other company's claim? Claims in those cases are just wonky, I've tried to claim unclaimed land that was in between 2 other claims before and it just wouldn't let me. I was trying to avoid interfering with other peoples claims and just take that segment of land. It seems silly, but that's how it works. Or doesn't work I suppose. It'd be nice if claims didn't always have to be a big circle, but that's how it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talono 434 Posted January 15, 2019 I really hope that they repair the claim system, totally broken currently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captmoroni25 0 Posted January 16, 2019 @WARSPECTRE Thanks thats exactly what I mean, Its sooooo frustrating cause I'd rather not take someone elses land but it forces you to sometimes, But thats why we sailed down to the snow regions where theres not many people playing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can see it yourself, it clames that A6 is a freeport, and that A7 is lawless. that is correct. Than it says A8 is lawless. That is not correct. Only the zones directly off of a freeport, north, south, east and west are lawless. The next freeport south is A10, that means A9 is lawless. A8 sits between them, and is a normal map. Theres a screen shot from the map I linked. I have also sailed through these areas myself looking for land, and can conferm A8 is not lawless. Theres a shot for A14 and A15. Just the fact these are two zones next to each other can tell you that they both cant be lawless, not when the only freeport close to them is C14, a freeport that was where I first started at. The only cluster of lawless that do touch are on the other side of the map, due to L5, L8, M7, M9, and J9 all being freeports. This makes a rather huge chain of lawless islands.

arzosah 84 Posted January 16, 2019 using a user created map to disprove a user modified wiki article doesn't really work out. One of them is wrong, and since the OP claims to not be able to place claim flags in those regions I figure the wiki is correct. It is possible that those zones were set up as Lawless zones but not home servers, or they were incorrectly flagged as lawless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bastian Auryn 9 Posted January 16, 2019 In game you can use the "Discovery" tab in the character screen to select whatever region you want to. It will state "Lawless" if that zone is lawless. If it states nothing, it will be claimable zone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck I'm currently settled in A9! https://map.playatlas.com/ Look at the live map. On NA PVE The company East India Trading has A8 under control. Theres both the 'user map' and live map side by side (granted I cant make the live map have the same zoom level) But you can match the island shaapes. You can see the A10 freeport's 4 matching island cluthers at the bottom. Than the lawless above that thats A9 where I'm settled, and then A8 controled by one of the top 10 companies. And it is also cluttered with a bunch of smaller groups Above that is A7, another lawless. You can also further view lower on the live map and see flag spam all through out A14 and A15, so those can't be lawless. So you tell me what is wrong, the wiki, or the user map? Because if its the users map, than the live map is also wrong. Edited January 16, 2019 by Baelithan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
