well if i cant kill the kraken fairly to get the sub yeh i'll stack the odds in my favour,to quote aj rimmer,I'd shoot him if he was on the toilet.and I honestly dont care a penny that people think its cheating.In real life I believe in a fair fight,thats all that matters.in a single player pc game who really cares? 

And I would like to add that single player mode is damn brilliant and very well done.

I was hoping it would work for tames too, even if it was just for berries. Maybe they'll consider that in the future.

I think the crew silo is great, but wasn't expecting it to be so big and tall. I had a perfect place to put it, but because it is on ceilings over water it won't place as it needs to be on/over the island.

Now i'm torn between the places to put it without it standing out. Will have to do a little redesign to find a good place for it!

If you cannot be honest with yourself.. how can you begin to be honest with anyone else?

Oh my god you are insane mate. It's single player, people can do what they want, just like using Mods.

I used to wonder whether I should laugh or cry at your posts, but now I just think you troll life with a miserable outlook.

sp/mp it doesn't matter.. ultimately tho, you're only being dishonest with yourself.  Something you clearly don't have an issue with.

Dishonest with oneself? What you been sniffing? All you do is complain about the game, and I mean everything in the game, including worrying about stuff that isn't even a problem, remember the whole "can people fast travel to my bed on my ship" just because people can now board other people's ships. And now you come into a topic about single player and claim people using ingame cheat commands in single player are cheating and being dishonest with themselves.

Single player is designed for people to play however they want, and if they use cheats they are not being dishonest with themselves. They are just making their experience playing this game more fun for themselves, unlike you who complain about everything.

If at first you don't succeed.. cheat.  Game is GREAT! YEH!! Amazing.. except for this, that, that, this, that...

LMAO cheating in single player? Do you even understand the definition of cheating? You never cease to amaze with your silly comments.

Oh yeah not sure about that either but I never said claim anything. 

What is it with people today? The topic started talking about claiming islands on single player, then @Nutcutt3r said "for what, it's SP" to which you responded with a comment about why you would have claims, which resulted in me saying "in single player?" hence the confusion of this topic.

So you're right you never said anything about claiming but you responded to a discussion about claiming islands. Must be a full moon out tonight with people on the forums.

Your being like a Spelling trying to correct my punctuation at its very irritating!

The OP was going on like the sky was falling and everyone was going to have there flag's bankrupted bye bad people will Galleons sailing around stealing there gold....

Yes I know exactly what the thread is about. But you made a statement that was incorrect, I pointed it out incase you were not aware, then you went on some hissy fit.

You're still making no sense.

You stated:

It doesn't say any random person can park and have there crew payed for, it says ALLYS

I pointed out to you where it does say "everyone settled on the island", therefore it doesn't just say ALLYS.

Now you are quoting random posts from the thread.

Just now, Sulfurblade said:

Your completely missing my point.... cfxyxx is going on like anyone can simply stroll up to an island with 3 galleons and bankrupt the flag...  and thats clearly not correct.

I'm not missing the point. You said: "It doesn't say any random person can park and have there crew payed for, it says ALLYS".

That is incorrect, so I pointed out to you where it does say any person on the island not just allys. It is you that are trying to twist my point to fit your argument.

Just now, Sulfurblade said:

whats the problem?  If you don't want to pay then toggle, options are a good thing not a bad thing!

I never said there was a problem, I was pointing out your incorrect point.

- Claim Flags now have a toggleable setting in Settlements mode which allows Settlement owners to choose whether to pay and feed the NPC Crew for allies or everyone settled on the island.

To be able to feed and pay your npc garrison from one place.....

Not necessary with a silo now.

I am not sure why you are confused lol.

 

Why would there be a claim system in single player?

The freedom to go anywhere and build anywhere without foundation spam or an overlord!

In single player? This whole thread is confusing.

This is what needs to be addressed in some way, personaly I like the structure upkeep idea the devs touted around back in Febuary. ( make the upkeep materials, and have the upkeep box upkeep just those structures attatched to it. Have tames and ships update their timers to highest nearby structure.)

I liked this idea before as well. This was the idea they came up with when they were going to go with no flag claims, but sadly they went against the idea.

This would solve many problems. For people that go on a 2 week holiday they would need to prepare and plan their absence through making such enough of the required resources are available to keep the structure upkeep topped up until you return from holiday. But yeah they changed their minds which was a poor decision.

Yeah there's no point in flag claims in single player, because no-one else is playing besides the single player. They can build wherever they want. What would you need a claim flag for?

I don't like to go treasure hunting. I merely just farm to build and tame animals. As a solo player, (which I enjoy accomplishing things by myself), I really can't afford to sail big ships as they are always just sunk by the next morning from griefers. I usually find an extremely large island to occupy that is interesting and has almost all the resources that I need and just stay on that island. I only fast travel between all of the islands that I reside on. I don't really want to deal with landowners and taxes. I'll fight them but certainly NOT pay them.

I take it you are PvP then?

Just now, vaylain said:

It is the whole notion that I must ask for permission and pay a tax. Screw that noise...

You don't have to ask permission, I never did. Again that comes down to the owner I guess, but I don't think many expect it. And as for tax it only comes out of gold, nothing else. Many do set it to 20% because it is additive tax, but my land owner has actually reduced it to 9%. People say they hate the notion of paying taxes, yet it's only from treasure hunts, which has nothing to do with building on claimed land..... this is from a PvE perspective by the way, forgot to mention that.

Just now, vaylain said:

I could have sworn they had eluded that they would be having one every month...

Yeah that was called over-ambitious.

May's came on June 1st, so technically June already got it's mega update. I'd be guessing late July for the next.

I personally despise the claim system and enjoy and will ONLY play on Lawless servers.

I understand why people despise it, and yes I took a gamble by building on land. But i've not had any issues at all, I don't even give it any thought. But it may be luck of the draw when it comes to land owners, but i've had 2 which have both been friendly.

Where was June's Mega-Update?

They never said one was coming in June.

On somebody elses island it is solvable thanks to their claim flag (being able to contain food) ... provide you have an entendre with your neighbourghs =  the island owners.

I'm sorry how does the owners claim flag help settlers?

So, this whole topic is actually about people living on lawless lands ... a choice with few but potentially significant consequences. And it is narrowed down further to groups of people that are either very small or take their vacations at the same time, with nobody willing to log in once a week.

Shrug?

How is this whole topic about people living on lawless lands? How does the fact building structures decay after 10 days whether on lawless or claimed/unclaimed land mean it is actually about lawless?

I am answering both these posts in a single reply because the issue is the same. It is not NA vs the world or EU, but it is about compromise. The length of the decay timer is always going to be a compromise between competing interests. Active players want the decay timers to be shorter to free up space faster and more frequently. Both of you have raised the issue of fairness to players in parts of the world where 2 week vacations are common, but my objection is based not on whether this is fair to those players vs NA players, but the percentage of players who legitimately have this need.

NA players do not because we don’t get 2 week vacations. Non NA players who belong to any decent size company do not, because other company members can cover while they are gone. Non NA players who belong to a small company that does not all go on vacation together irl does not for the same reason. So in the end, who might actually need 2weeks? Non NA solo players and NON NA players in small companies where the entire company goes on vacation together. What portion of the playerbase does this represent? I don’t know but I have a hard time believing it could be more than 5% to 10% at most. 

Thats why I’m not in favor of lengthening the decay timers. At the end of the day it would be putting the wants of a fraction of the playerbase ahead of the interests of the whole. Even those players who want this change and arguing for it would be unlikely to ever notice when it worked against them. When they couldn’t get the spot they wanted because some other guy only had to check in twice a month to keep it from them permanently. Human beings are bad at perceiving what doesn’t happen and weighing it against what does, but in this instance what doesn’t happen (space being freed up) is more impactful than what does.

Active players want shorter decay timers to free up space? You mean things are getting overcrowded??? Funny because the player count doesn't suggest that.

The time now is to experiment with such changes. They increased lawless the same time they increased claimed/unclaimed which was silly. There needs to be more incentive to build on claimed/unclaimed land. Extended decay timers would be a good start.

All these people that go on about solo players, what about a group of friends? Lets say 5 friends all play together on official servers and all decide to go on holiday together for 2 weeks (yes Europe rules). They lose all their work ingame because they go on holiday and because they are a solo player group playing on an MMO? Yet the most common argument against those that want the timers increased to allow fairness to ALL regions typical holiday allowances is that they shouldn't play an MMO solo.

I'm certain that if the US also had a typical 2 week holiday package at work that they would also be asking for the timers to be extended to allow them to be on holiday and not get punished for taking a well deserved break from life/work.

Ships have 21 days, why buildings only have 10 days?

Why do European players get screwed just because US players get screwed by their employers over the amount of holiday they give?

@Dollie @Jatheish I'd like to continue this request for an increase in the 10 day timer. Keep lawless at 10 days and boost claimed/unclaimed to 15 days to provide more incentive for landowners/tenants.
