Psyko 9 Posted January 24, 2019 I traveled to another region in order to do a treasure hunt. When I got there, the "beacon" was stuck in the mountains and even when climbing up the mountain, it wouldn't start. So after realizing this was not going to happen, I went back to my base. On the way, as I was dodging Sotd's I went to rotate the sail. The game went to the demolish option, and I watched as it filled the bar and I couldn't stop it from doing that. It was a schooner with one large speed sail and one small weight sail. So I was out in the middle of the ocean with a demolished main sail and had to get back to land to build a loom and build a new sail. I sailed under the power of the small weight sail all the way back to land. It took me about an hour and a half to get back to the land. Luckily I was able to grapple some flotsam on the way, not much but it kept my sanity. Then to top it all off, cyclones hit. They stayed on me for a long time (honestly cut the number of cylones down, it's insane) so I started repairing my ship. I eventually ran out of supplies to repair the hull, but thankfully the cyclones stopped and I could resume my long journey back to land. I did make it eventually and repaired my ship, replaced the sails, and resupplied getting my ship back to base to continue on to other things. I tell this story, as short as I can make it, because the demolish option needs to be removed when sailing, or the glitch needs to be fixed. I hope this brings the problem to the devs attention so they can look into it. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodo 147 Posted January 24, 2019 I have nearly done just what you did. Sorry to laugh but it is funny and it sucks. I think the demolish option should be changed... right now it is to easy to accidentally click it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Notorious 67 Posted January 24, 2019 That and the scuttle option to be moved, I also have came close and im sure many more have. When you get hit with lag its brutal. Sounds like you had a fun journey though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luxfere 90 Posted January 24, 2019 Yep who ever added that stupid option there needs to be beaten to death with a brick...some of you devs have no commonsense. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naviss 25 Posted January 24, 2019 Have almost done this too, many times. Demo should only show up when anchored or in a sub menu. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was funny during the whole thing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calm the fuck down and might I suggest therapy? Its not like the UI designer decided to HAND PLACE that option. These systems are contextual and need additional logic to separate out issues like these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
