Poot Pootington 30 Posted December 27, 2018 Anyone know if decay rates have anything to do with weight? Maybe the ships are overloaded? My sloop is ready to launch but I don't want to drop it until I figure this out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My sloop is ready to launch but I don't want to drop it until I figure this out... dont drop it until patched. Weight will speed up decay but you can tell by opening ship properties and seeing current weight and weight limit. If you have claimed land drop anchor within your spot and less decay. NEVER park it at a Freeport will go poof in hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jabnlab 40 Posted December 27, 2018 Something does seem off. I'm not noticing decay at all. I logged off anchored just offshore of a lawless island about 12 hrs ago on my raft with about 9k hp left (had a few croc run ins yhat damaged it). After seeing this post I logged back in to check and it still had about 9k hp left. So maybe just anchoring near any non freeport land is the key? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe but come next patch if you anchor a sloop next to a lawless island it will be stolen in 2 hours time. 30 mins for a raft! Remember that people can spawn on lawless islands so they will and then search island for boats to steal with no penalty to themselves but to spawn and repeat. Where do I hide my boat so I can sleep in real life? Edited December 27, 2018 by trik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunantly I'm on pve and ship stealing on pve was patched yesterday, but I see your point on a pvp server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I am seriously considering going PVE maybe its the best for a solo player but I need content to be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm too casual to survive pvp in Atlas. I play with just my wife maybe a dozen hrs a week. But we managed to get almost 2k hrs each in ark with just doing pve so we are pretty good at finding stuff to do, lol. I get my pvp fix from Destiny 2.

treaskz 0 Posted December 27, 2018 Rafts only have 8h timer if im not mistaken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingLlama 24 Posted December 27, 2018 8 hours for a raft is too short. People work 8 hours. What about the casuals? 8 hours for a raft is too short. People work 8 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UDO 361 Posted December 27, 2018 make sure you ship is anchored , tehn no more than 100-200 damage overnight , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonn 1 Posted December 27, 2018 Are you putting anything on the ship that makes it overweight? The threshold for overweight is not 100% either, more like 80%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solrin 1 Posted December 28, 2018 i went to bed and as soon as i woke up my ship is under water. 8 hrs 30 min and my ships under water. how in the hell can one keep a ship if you have a job and sleep. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonedancer 26 Posted December 28, 2018 Just wait until you finally get to an island to call home and 4 duped Brigs pull up full of Chinese people and zerg you within seconds. lol This game is so broken right now and desperately needs to be wiped. I'm sure they have a plan, but I sure hope they do it sooner than later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt.Zuln 5 Posted December 28, 2018 Anchored ( with the icon above it) my raft and my sloop takes 0 damage on lawless islands. Anyway would be nice to see clarifications on the rates when it takes damage and how its calculated as many other mechanics in this game =p. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyokami 0 Posted December 28, 2018 this game is meant for with no life. Screw the casuals< right devs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digitalwolf 1 Posted December 18, 2020 I just bought this game, and I'm here reading this thinking about quitting already. Has Ship decay been reduced? Players ships should last at least a week REAL TIME. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
