    Video games are, by thier nature, useless timesinks.

    You think so? Well, so are books, and anything that requires rational thought, which you appear to be lacking.

    That said, it is a time sink to get a schooner.

    Ok, how much do you realllllly want that schooner? Lol.

    I believe the intent is to make it feel like your are progressing.

    However, regardless of intent, you are "progressing" like that crab in a bucket.

    Quote

    Now should the progression be quicker than current, i think that remains to be seen.

    If you what to see things, open your eyes maybe?

    From my point of view the time played (/played) for a schooner I think it about right, for an inital fresh start.

    Clearly you think otherwise, so what would be your solution on the schooner?

    Stop nerfing shit due to lack of game programming skills/understanding of how to play a game?

    Im still asking for more ship types. (Seriously need something between a brig and a galley).

    Here, have a ramming ship.

    The counter concern of ship spam vs grinding, is that each ship needs server resources and those resources used reduce the availabilty for other items to run on the server. You can throw hardware at this problem only for so long before it becomes unstainable. Therefore if you reduce the number of ships existing vs Season 4, in theory there are more server resources for say, a bunch of trading ships sailing around the world.

    Hai guiz. we want to get you all out on the ocean sailing in ships, and now we going to blah blah blah trading ships blah blah yeah its not working, but blah blah we really dont actually want to pay for good servers, or create a game that isnt just spaghetti code so that it can actually run on the shitty servers we have.

    But how long does that really last for? If your delayed 10 hours in getting your 1st real ship, then it only takes you say 20 hours for your next one, easily within a month you have plenty of ships (baring pvp, losses ofc) and probaly a stock pile of gold.

    Yeah in a month you get wiped btw, lol? Seriously man, wake up.

    Ultimately I think this gold grind only slows the early game down, by the time you hit mid game it just picks up as the intial gold sink is reduced, while gold income is not.

    And yes ot most certainly hurts smalls/solos as theu can easily be wiped and forced to start the early game grind over (which will not help the player population be sustained)

     

    @George Catcher
    the maps were really effd up i lost so many i lost count. It took me about 9 runs around my island to collect enough for the schooner, so i guess you could add another ~5 hours to that grind (although i was focused on basing up, preparing, finding where stuff was, farmhouses, etc (ie the "land game") during that time as well. And yes that was at about 2.5-3 hours a night.

    The current 10k im working through with the schooner atm are the JM remeants from those runs, so ill have to farm up more to keep going further.

    I cbf to reply to the rest of this dribble.

    Originally I said I thought itd feel right for the cost to be about 10k on a brig, and I think thats still about right from a /played pov.

    Played pov? It is an artificial time sink, that exists due to inability to balance the game/make the game something other than a useless time sink. Irony, huh?

    There needed to be a shift in slowing down the intial rush, esp given how easy resources are now, although I still think they went too far with the brig costs, at least that 1st "real" ship feels about there.

    Remember when people were asking for more ships? Less grind? Now its just hey man make me mindlessly grind so i can get my 1st "real " ship.

    Yeah, but lvl-5 map usually gives around 300 gold (a bit more), it means you need around 15 bottles this level. U lucky that you found that many. I didn't. It's about 10 bottles around all islands I searched. Half of them were broken. Most of them were 1-2 lvl. Some - lvl-5. Some - lvl-10 and more. I found even couple of lvl-19... with my journey I was getting about 1300 gold per day. So 4 full days sailing sloop... some players can play from morning till night. They would do that in 2. Some players - can play for 3 hours. They will do it in a week or two, and they will have to put all long journey stuff in sloop, because they wont be able to get back to base every day...

    er, Ok man, hope you find some more maps/figure out how to not suck at finding maps

    Because I never saw them away

    Thought so. How sad.

    Again. I'm telling that you have to use TINY AND SLOW ship for BIG AND FAST ships PURPOSES. That's wrong.

    Hahahaha what?

    But the current game problem - there is just not many purposes at all. And totally not for sloops. In the early state we could use one to travel from freeport to our settlement island (in the very beginning the only option was raft). So sloop was one way ship, which then was used to garbage shores. Right now we forced to use it for half atlas travels with tames onboard.

    As for bps... I don't play PVP, so I don't know how things going there (I only knows that barrels can oneshot full mythic Galley). But in PVE - bps doesn't matter. Before wipe I've done most of quests with just common Brig (for quest I SOLO took down damned 4 ships squad that contained lvl-56 and lvl-60 Galleys plus lvl-54 and lvl-56 Brigs). And that's also problem because I don't feel I get any rewards for my efforts.

    You don't feel you get rewards for playing PVE in this marvelous game?

    Huh, wonder why.


  4. What? Barrels havent always been around, you couldn't just build a cheap ship in a hour and load it with barrel bombs and go fuck up a mythical ship.

    Nobody will build a myth gally because its just stupid and a waste of time. Why do you consider that to be progress?

    Smh.

    I say that you appear to be ignoring things, and you reply im the one opting out ? Mate, you quit a longggggggg time ago......... and you dont appear to know what you are talking about, regardless of where the game stands or did stand.

    now barrels arent a huge issue compared to there still being gold cost for ships and broken trade mechanic. but theyre working on it and its still a good time. come on back.

    Lol. Hey man, the broken issue isnt a big issue because theres even bigger issues that prevents the game from being fun! But, you know, the devs are working soooooo hard, and im having fun because I quit when the game was actually good and now I miss it.......... sigh

    stop lying to this man! thayxen the game is gona wipe again on dec 31 for the new claim system, my adivce is wait til then to come back.

    Indeed.

    You just wasting your time with this nonsense.


  6. Ark dinos are just single entities on the server, the ships in atlas are multiple entities, and the devs have said that the server cannot handle more ships that are coded in way they code ships. Also, apparently the person who originally coded the ships left the dudes a long time ago. Thats you why get camelophant, and sub, and ramming ship.

    Yeh those mods are funny, how they add ships...
