Sherman Chui 4 Posted April 17, 2019 This is to suggest to remove the Claim System for PvE. It seems that it is no meaning to have a claim system to challenge the environment, e.g. the ghost ships and the NPC's........ Just keep to allow building anywhere is OK I think..... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

=MGC=Ranger 77 Posted April 17, 2019 This would be better than what it is now. Smaller companies are all taking up the lawless now since the claim system is complete crap. Â 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Shandy 242 Posted April 17, 2019 Why go to lawless, way more space on claimed land. Try communicating with people in the game it is multiplayer, find that governor that want's people to increase his tax timer. They will build ramps and routes up to those hard to reach resources, won't cost you anything and they'll get some taxes to compensate. Who'd of thought an MMO where communication and cooperation is a requirement for getting better faster. (Do you recall the plans they had for lawless? that didn't make it into the game yet. It might still be coming). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
José Gaspar 58 Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) I would suggest they close Empires, as failed experiment, has less then 10% of population next lowest population (has 79 players right now, vs 1733, 2889, and 2097) and re-open as NA-PVE with all lawless.  People that want claims, will still have EU-PvE. They absolutely need structure maintenance to minimize floor/pillar spam.  Hope that is coming soon, as was a key method of assisting PvE control it. I feel that given the choice any PvE player that does not own an island will move to NA-PvE followed by the small groups that do own islands as owning and island is a pain as well when your group isn't getting taxes from other players.  Large groups will remain in EU-PvE as they can afford the islands with normal play and the two servers will have very different personalities. Edited April 17, 2019 by José Gaspar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I live in NY and pay 20% tax as it is haha..Thats why NY is the largest exiting population state. Lawless=no tax. If the tax was 5%, maybe 10%..sure. But 20? No effing way. If a isle has good resources, we throw up a quick building with a bed and go on our way. The new claim system is complete garbage. When we stop at an isle with high tax, we farm the special resources and get the essentials at lawless isles instead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tax is additive now in pve, you do not loose anything, it just gives the land owner 20% of what ever you farm from thin air and doesnt take it from you 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This must be a recent change since we did test and it was costing 20%. Thanks for being a douchebag though, every forum needs one and you fit it pretty well.

EyEamInfidel 31 Posted April 23, 2019 I think companys should be limited on islands that can be owned. Shouldn't be able to buy 10 small islands I could see 2 islands period Pick your size you can afford  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaulerTGD 31 Posted April 23, 2019 taxes dont come out of your harvest, communicating with other people is key, you can find good "landlords" removing the claim system would just lead to spamming pillars and foundations, smaller companies that are eu pve are already doing it on islands they dont have the points to claim.
