AtlasRyan 29 Posted January 30, 2019 Please please please do something about the claim overlapping issue. Someone claiming someone elses area should not result in my company losing their stuff. Especially now that sleeping bodies will not contest. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is from the captains log today We’ll also be fixing a bug which allowed sleeping characters to contest claims, even if the claim has been inactive, so going forward only logged in characters will be able to contest claims.

Sucks because I think just killing sleepers off after 3 weeks would solve all the issues with PVE. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TiiaAurora 43 Posted January 30, 2019 I agree. It's gonna be a tough few weeks with hardly any sleep now. I sometimes have phases where I cant join the game or any games for a few days due to health reasons. Time to make the company bigger I guess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harryplopper 24 Posted January 30, 2019 Im glad they wont contest. Now mabe some others can have access to land that "sleepers" (either alts, or people that quit) are taking up without being active. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you imagine how bad it would be in 6 months if they didnt change it to contest them? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But If I get sick now for a week and have to lay in bed and come back, stuff is gone. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtlasRyan 29 Posted January 30, 2019 My problem is not necessarily that you need to login every 3 days, though I think that’s extremely heavy handed. MY issue is that the weird “overlap rules” that are part of this game. Someone can contest a neighboring claim on the very edge and get half the stuff in your claim with it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides that they were supposed to fix the countdown timer and thats still broke so it could have even been changed to a longer time frame than 3 days.

AtlasRyan 29 Posted January 30, 2019 And as I say that someone came to the middle of our island and threw down a sea claim. Bout to try and steal half the island. Great job devs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

henrik 6 Posted January 30, 2019 The overlap issue very much still exists and is annoying af. The other thing they failed to mention, was that the timer is no longer 3 days, it's 2 days. Which basically means we can't even go away for a weekend without risking losing everything. When long time idlers are now killed off after four weeks and loads of land being freed up that way, they should make the refresh period longer for active tribes, not shorter. At least on PvE, which is meant to be more casual than PvP. It's no fun playing a game that forces you to log in 3 times a week just to keep your stuff.

Couldn't find that post right off the bat, and I'm short on time atm, but I'm pretty sure it came up in a conversation we were having that the 3 days was way too short. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S1mpl 0 Posted January 31, 2019 Well this dev team are nortorious at not being good a telling time, so maybe someone set 2 days instead of 2 weeks on the claims. Alot players will not realise this change from 3 days to 2 days exists and will loose their claims !!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FruitBatCat 70 Posted January 31, 2019 Tbh I don't know why they just don't revert to the Ark system and forget claiming, rents and tax for PVE only. Wouldn't be a horrendous change for most as their own buildings would become completely their own, overlapping claims or not. Plus would curb the land hoarders. Yes they could foundation spam, but like Ark, most people won't apart from a small area just around their own base. Running around, finding a claim, waiting for hours to contest it must be tedious as hell. Running around with a foundation in your hotbar while exploring and then checking if enough space for the building you want is more gamer friendly. And hearing of people losing their buildings today is pretty sad. Give people 21 days for stone, 8 days for wood and 3 for thatch. Simple system, had it's problems but it worked a lot better than this one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
