The ability for players to set any server tile as their home tile will break the game.

This upcoming change seems common sense to me that it is not a good idea. Server tiles max out at 200 players currently and become lag fest when that many players in one grid. With proposed change and potential 40k players if entire server was maxed you would have people flocking to pvp hot zones and this would stop legit defenders of an island from even being able to get into their own grid or attackers.

 

There is nothing wrong with making players actually sail to an island  for whatever reason.  With proposed change defenders could simply stop all attempts at claim by simply keep re-spawning to home server over and over again. 2-3 players could stop 150 because they don't need beds, just die, respawn ,rinse and repeat to stop enemy claims.  Random other guilds could also stop claims , just by resetting their home server and going to watch the pvp putting them in the contested island. 

 

maybe the solution is that you can only change your home server 1x  a week or something like that

 

in a pirate themed game their should be incentives for sailing.

 

other suggestions:

on your own home island get 100% buff

sailed through  a server tile get 100% buff for 9 hours

teleported in by use of changing home server tile = no buff

 

giving those sailing and defending advantage over random zerg teleporters

Yeah, there is nothing stopping people from using those nasty tactics from ark where they simply cap out server population. I like the idea of having to spawn in from beds or sail in from freeports acting as a barrier to zerg spawn tactics. This is especially a problem when company player caps are larger than server  population caps.

They said it was temporary for the beginning of the new fresh server to prevent the lag festival it was on freeport the release day.

Like grogob said, its only temporary and besides id rather spawn on the island than agev to try and battle through goodness knows how many others to try and get to an island.
