    There are also much better games for PvP.  The movements of people are weird and glitchy.  It would be challenging to hit them with an assault rifle, let alone a single shot pistol, carbine, or boy and arrow.

    This game is horrible for PvP because the mechanics make it such that many battles are decided by those mechanics, not player skill.

    Very good points you made in your posts! Especially the point that lower Level players are immediately at a disadvantage against higher Level Players. Of Course some would argue that the higher Level Player gain nothing from raiding lower Level players and therefore don´t raid them but the reality is that a lot of douchebags are playing those type of games and their only fun is stomping low level Players. 

    We stopped playing official after one week of hardcore grinding (we had a week of vacation) and losing everything while offline in 2hours. EVERYTHING, every ship, Building, tame and loot we had. This is just nuts.

    Everybody that thought this game would not get through the exact same treatment with Bugs and glitches like Ark did has no common sense. It´s basically the same People that did Ark, they are still not really good at programming let alone setting priorities right. What they look for the most is MONEY and not Fixing their product 😉 It´s sad and a shame but I for myself just accepted it and deal with whatever bug I encounter. I knew when I bought Atlas what I was getting into so for me the frustration is minimal cause honestly I even expected more gamebreaking Bugs. 

    I would love if Grapeshot would prove me wrong and fix everything before asking for more Money because DLCs will come and they won´t be free but I doubt it

    Well, there is fasttravel in the game...….just not for ships (which makes sense, nobody would sail anymore to save time and don´t have to fight)

    They could give a a new ship type, a very fast one that can´t have cannons on it! Maybe that would help those People that don´t like sailing in a pirate game 😉

    I’m familiar with both the ship cannon and the large cannon range. Yes left trigged will aim at a specific target. LB and clicking right stick will auto shoot at anything in NPC’s target range, which you set up in behavior.  Had 2 schooners on both sides of the ship, well within range of cannons. Yes all the ports were open, know that cannons were reloaded. Watched  as we passed each other both schooners unloaded a full volley at me . As for me nothing. So I got out of range of their aggression threat. Repaired as fast as possible, using the repair hammer method. Turned back around after repairs to re-engage and tried the LT method. Kept the targeted ship in cannon range, in fact if it should of been a little less than mid range for the cannon. Again less than half the time they shot. Honestly I’m hoping this is simply a “glitch” for the single player mode. I’ve actually had it completely lose a sloop before. Out sailing to make a quick supply run for something. Vitamin levels are low enough just for you to say the heck with it and let yourself die so you can re-spawn back with levels balanced. No re-spawn option for the sloop, I do name my beds, an old Ark habit. Found the sloop bed on the Atlas map when I went to fast travel. Fast traveled and ended up in the ocean, no sloop. Killed off by sharks re-spawned again tried fast travel and the sloop wasn’t even there. Checked the logs to see if it was destroyed and didn’t see it in the log.  So I called it a night because I was frustrated, turned the game on the next day and I was on the sloop. 

    Oh man that is sad to hear. Seems to be a singleplayer bug/glitch, I don´t Play singleplayer I have a Nitrado server rented and so far the crew shoots when they should

     

    Hope a patch will solve your issues and you can Play without that frustration

    Again I think the devs need serious help. While I realize this game is multiplayer I do enjoy playing solo/single player. Got into a nasty fight with a fleet of Army of the Damned. Have the cannon NPC’s at long target distance. From what I’ve read they should fire from long to short distance. Set the cannons to auto fire as I controlled sails and turning. More than half the time the cannons wouldn’t fire. I’m currently on Xbox, I hit every button that game gives me to order commands. Again no love. So instead of giving those NPC’s accordions maybe work on their coding.

    Left trigger to let them aim and shoot themselves (just lock onto the ship you want to shoot and release the trigger)

    Right trigger to shoot yourself (hold the trigger to see the flightpath of the cannonballs, release to fire)

    And what a lot of people forget, OPEN THE GUNPORTS! NPC´s won´t (and can´t) shoot when the gunports are closed

    I´m fighting Sotd every day and never had a problem with NPCs not firing the cannons (not saying it won´t happen at some stage but so far no Problems)

    The Buff you get is way too good to Not use it 🙂 10% more movementspeed , Staminq And healthreg And also +30 fortitude.

    I never got a buff from normal food like berries and cooked meat. TC was Talking About that and not the real cooked stuff (that is something else, that stuff I take on journeys with me)

    I suppose that the mounting issue and wild pirate boats could be a single player/non-dedicated server issue. To be honest, just as I normally do in survival games I tend to play single player or with a few personal friends before I go to official servers. Also I’m really scared that the official servers of this game will turn out to b be as bad as Ark. Meta tribes/crews run the server. That turned me off of official servers in Ark. I’m hoping that they will fix these problems if they are a single player/non-dedicated server thing. Honestly i do hope for server rentals, like Ark has to b have b a server so a Meta crew can’t happen.

    You can rant servers for quite some time now

    Check the advertising section, lots of Nitrado hostet servers

    Nitrado had a massive Problem and we had to reinstall the game 😞 

    Which resulted in a wipe of Course, very sorry to everybody that lost everything. 

     

    As a result (it was way to boring tbh) we changed to PVP

    Rules are in the Discord (Raids only allowed on Weekends, on weekdays People can prepare and repair)

    My ships were anchored. Underweight. Not in a freeport. And completely repaired. Why the $!#! did they sink? Why is there no shipwreck symbol? Why diesnt it tell me how the hell they sank. Why is this game broke asf?

    Tell us how our ships are sinking grapeshot!!  Tired of getting on to all my ships being gone and not knowing how or who did it. My log just says something was sunk or destroyed. Never telling me how or who. It's a complete waste of time. Im going back to fallout 76 till you guys learn how to make a game. 

    You realise that this game is still in Early Access and therefore not finished and has a lot of Bugs and glitches? It even tells you that before you buy it and it tells you that in the main menu. 

    Yes, it is annoying AF but that´s what we basically signed up for, we are testers for this game and therefore we have to live with those bugs until they are fixed.

    Maybe you can help me with my question, Google didn´t help at all. 

    I´m playing on the Blackwood map on a Nitrado hosted Server and I´m trying to get the achievement for killing a blue whale. I killed like 10 the last days but all of them were sperm whales. 

    So my Question is, is there a blue whale on the Blackwood map or can I stop searching and wasting time?

    Same Question for the squid and Kraken (I doubt the Kraken is on it cause we have the Hydra?)

    Kinda sad that I had to cheat the Explorer Achievement (well, one of the 2) cause we don´t get discovery points on Blackwood but those 250% movement increase when encumbered is too good not to have xD

    I don´t get why there is no offline raid protection. Just make it so when someone logs off while in a fight, the ORP timer gets set to 1hour. That way there is no "haha I just log off and you can´t do anything to my stuff", 1h is more than enough to raid an unprotected base or ship. Hell, make it 2hours or 3hours. 

    Griefing will never be fun in any game so devs should take that shit seriously and do something about it or they will lose a lot of players just like in Ark!

    I thought they changed it so anchored ships won’t sink when overweight/overcrowded?

    Is that really in the game yet or a "will come in a future patch" state? I know it´s implemented for overcrowded (my ship was overcrowded with npcs at one Point and I had a message popping up telling me that my ship will sink if I´ll raise the Anchor)

    That would solve the problem tho

    Try LB+Down on the Dpad on xbox (must be on steering Wheel). That should make them not do anything anymore lol

    Never had that problem, my crew only fires when I tell them to. But if they would start such stuff...…...well…...we have a Guillotine for a reason lol

    Xbox only Servers...…..yea right...….with a max of what, 200 People on a 40k server? lol Those Servers would be wastelands

    TC don´t act like PC Players are Cancer. I´m an xbox Player myself and I welcomed the crossplay. So many PC Players that had the game before us and can help answering Questions, Show you how to start and so on. Just because you think those Players are cheaters doesn´t mean they are. You will find douchebags on both sides, the same as you will find cool Players on both sides.
