SockStink 26 Posted January 24, 2019 3 minutes ago, Vloshko said: The devs should: Revert material Changes to stone structures. Make a new group of structures like Metal Structures or Improved Stone walls. Disable ship collision. Revert " NPCs mounted on Puckles are now invincible". Perform a discovery point wipe for everyone, because those who actually spent weeks on island discoveries to combat the "retroactive" part of "Discovery Zones now count as 3 Discovery Points instead of 1. Players no longer need to discover all zones to reach max level. Not a retroactive change." Fire the person who approved the idea " NPCs mounted on Puckles are now invincible". Perfect, I 100% agree.

Evir 38 Posted January 24, 2019 Well, the change will stop so many from building absurdly large bases and lagging out servers, that was the primary reason for the change, people act like they just want to screw over the player base, but this is 100% the reason why.

If its an optimization issue, the solution is not to make building a chore. I seriously have been trying to keep the spark I had when this game first dropped going but every patch while some have good content in them there is always a few changes that are a massive kick in the groin. I don't know how much longer I can keep playing and finding the same joy in this game. I feel like the only way to truly show them how badly they messed up this time is to not login anymore... yet I still want to keep playing the game... It's a hard spot to be in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YES, this patch screws everyone expect the mega tribes. Before this patch is was possible to build a superior design and have the ability to fend of massive clans with a smaller group, not after this... Even the galleon change, which can smash anything without taking damage, only benefits the mega clans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I understand numbers will give an advantage but it should be countered if you create a clever base design, use smarter tactics or ship designs. All ways a smaller group could take the upper hand because they play better. That's correct balance, not increasing building materials to limit 40-60% of the player base from building them.

It's almost the same amount as stone. This is not realistic. But now please explain me why the saps is needed for STONE walls. WAIT WHAT? SUGAR FOR... STONE WALL? ARE WE BUILDING FAIRY CASTLES here?

Jean Lafitte 451 Posted January 24, 2019 And here I was thinking that the FOY was going to be the dumbest fucking thing this dev team would do. Wow. Just... wow. I have no sap and no metal nodes anywhere on the island where I live. And because of wildlife's ability to destroy wood, I'm left with little choice.

Just build a small stone fence around your base to keep animals away, it isnt like you actually have anything to fear, no one is going to attack you. You can literally just live in wood or thatch, as long as you have a 2 high stone wall around your base. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks, animals spawning inside the base, the fact that if we have a decent area for the company you can need as many stone walls circling the base as you would for one house, massive numbers of alpha spawns.

Thats good and all man, but people will just compensate for this by spamming even more stone walls/gates or wooden structures. In the end this doesn't solve anything but only makes it worse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Animals can destroy wood and they will chew on it for hours until they destroy the block or you kill them. Furthermore, animals can spawn INSIDE buildings and walls.
