Salty Jack 56 Posted April 13, 2019 small 2 or 3 man company CANNOT claim a island.... all the small ones are gone... especially for NA PVE players who were willing to wait the 2 weeks for the NA PVE server.... but with Dolly not throwing around the term "possibility" of getting a NA PVE server when the NA PVEers realize that EU PVE is all they gonna get it will be lawless or nothing.... so, I beg you, for the love of all that is holy at the very least increase the build radius on foundation/pillars on lawless to what it is everywhere else.... People ARE going to pillar spam on lawless (where the little guy is forced to play) so please make it so it does not look so damn trashy.... I know you don't give a shit about PVE players but think about this.... the sever will have less lag the fewer pillars you force us to place.... this is for PVE by the way.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THE LAWLESS RADIUS is the same on all grids can be a problem later as players climb into your taming pen and fence in your tames , or build a wall right around your base cos they dont want you on THIER island .. the radius needs increasing everywhere but lawless, Edited April 13, 2019 by UDO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

globytheoldpirate 119 Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) You can join an island that is already claimed. With my company we claim an island, we allow people to build on it without destroying them (exept grieffers) and we set low tax. A lot of owner do this, it is better for an owner to allow people farming on their islands, to build, etc.. Cuz we got that small % of tax, which help us to pay the island. We could set 50% tax but nobody would come, so we set 10% Which isn't too much compared to the cost of the island we pay A lot of people do as we do, or at leat, will do The system is made to work like that Edited April 13, 2019 by globytheoldpirate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For now, I think that a lot of owner doesn't understand that, so they put high taxe, or destroy anything they see. But they will change in time. The hardest thing, for not-owner players, is to find a "good lord" they can trust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Gunner 1 Posted April 13, 2019 I think they need to remove lot of lawless zones. Like one square where the PortTown is and islands on that square to be lawless.Aditional lawless squares around the Port town sqare just take too much Squares FROM THE WHOLE MAP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grongash 201 Posted April 13, 2019 Just find a small one thats taken, but with a decent tax. We claimed a small one and set the tax to 15%; prolly going to change it to 10% even anyway. And as long as people dont grieve others or try to reserve the whole island with pillars/foundations we dont interfere. The only reason we even claimed one was to avoid 50% tax and a random idiot who destroys all you built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salty Jack 56 Posted April 13, 2019 UDO.... you are telling me that the build radius on claimable islands is the same as on lawless ?..... I don’t think so...... it has to be at least 5 times bigger..... I want it to be that big or even bigger on lawless..... bigger build radius means less Pillars you need..... your taming pen would be safe.... your neighbors could not build as close to you causing less trouble.... less lag from way less foundations..... but mostly I want bigger radius because I like to build pretty bases and a crapload of foundations in the yard kills the look of the build.....

Yeah, it's not. Lawless is a tiny radius where people do fence in tames and builds. Happened to my buds yesterday It needs to be bigger to reduce the pillar spam stressing the servers as well as to make it require a LOT more materials if someone's gonna be a griefer and place gate after gate around someone else's reasonable build. But of course, they went the opposite to make it easier to grief and stress servers. Not even sure there is a need for lawless servers any more. Certainly not 4 per freeport. Also don't need polar, tundra on the N & S poles is fine, give us 2 more lines of equatorial regions instead. More islands open up to be claimed that way and with free build anywhere (with 24 hours owner destroy privilege) the total newb coming in 6 months later can still build their first little shipyard and make a real sloop or schooner. My island is reasonable to anyone wanting to build there, we've only removed 3 builds so far. 1 because it was on top of metal nodes and bear thatch and another because the dude promised it was temporary and didn't pull it down himself and the last because it was a box around the contesting flag and I think the guy split when he lost anyway. As for pillar spam on my island, I'm doing that for now, but I have plans to build across the whole area I spammed off. Gonna have a huge dock with public parking to enhance our trade business. Also, it's only in the spots we claimed for ourselves as specified in the flag notice. Anyone ignoring what we said (don't build on resources and this 1/4 of the tiny island is ours) gets removed. Hasn't been an issue yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
