Humcitysav 4 Posted February 7, 2019 So my company mate and I spent several days, visited 20+ grids looking for claims with this update. We figured a 3 day timer would be a good way to nab land from a mega company. Lo and behold every single claim we visited (even top 10’s) had 3 week timers on them. After the first grid i chalked it up to a bug, but the next 19+ were all the same. not sure if it’s a bug or they get three weeks when they are in the claim (unlikely because many of the zones were in tundra with <5 players), but it would be nice to be able to steal a claim with the game mechanics that are supposed to be in place.

Humcitysav 4 Posted February 7, 2019 Incredibly stupid. Big companies dont need 100+ “outposts” that are empty except for one small shipyard and a hut. They get the same protection that a company of 1-5 get, even though they have players active 24/7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They broke the game ( Maximum flag countdown timer is supposed to drop from 3 weeks to 3 days depending on the number of claim flags the company has. From the patch notes: v18.15 Miscellaneous - PvE Claim Flag inactivity timer has been adjusted so that it now scales dynamically. A company with a small number of flags will be declaimable after 3 weeks of inactivity, whereas a company with a large number of claim flags would be declaimable after 3 days of inactivity. 35 minutes ago, Humcitysav said: So my company mate and I spent several days, visited 20+ grids looking for claims with this update.

If you went to any top 10 company, it should have at maximum a 3 day timer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humcitysav 4 Posted February 7, 2019 @Wh33ls right, it should be saying that. However even top 10’s were showing 21 day timers on them. I was confused because I know they should be at 3 days. Several days ago, we found one to contest before the timers started showing 21 days on all claims, but it was a top 10 and someone immediately travelled there to contest.

Shintai 117 Posted February 7, 2019 I did a rough calculation and you need around 150 land flags to reach 3 days. Sea flags do not count at all. Even with 50 flags you are still having like 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humcitysav 4 Posted February 7, 2019 @Shintai that seems very high, definitely needs to be lower if that’s the case. Even so I saw some claims from the top 3, and they still had 21 day timers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, this is the only mmo of any type I play where I get a sinking feeling (no pun intended) when they announce a forthcoming patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
