Allow Bola throw under water and let us carry the entrapped animal back to land. Try to catch a horse when runs like an idiot to the water and is near impossible to catch. Either buff the Bola properties or make horses not run to the water or get back to land when they are at 20% health or lower.  That or remove the 20% health requirement for entrapping animals with bola and instead require more feeding to actually get it tamed. Another way would be to make horses limp when they are 20% so they can't run like maniacs so you'd actually have a chance to catch it. Either way this needs a change.

Edit: Or just give us a tranq gun, I don't really care. I just wanna tame animals and not run 6 hours after one horse.

Didn't see a difference tbh..

Thanks! I will try that.

I find it really annoying that you can't see the blue names of your allies from afar without actually taking a look at the spying glass every time. Any chance this range could be increased?

This more or less breaks the entire game. People will ALWAYS find a way to build on such places that don't have resource spawns near them. This whole change is pointless. Just revert it and don't pretend that it's not an intended change. This is just a kick in the balls for players who have wasted countless hours on building something great somewhere just to realize they gotta do the whole thing over somewhere else because of this change.

That seems to be a problem, I'm 46 already, so I'm kind of already half way to 100. I started as age 20 so that's 26 years in a week. 3 months is not going to happen.

If I remember it correctly you can make a NPC pregnant. I don’t know what happens when you have a kid with another player, who gets to play it.. 

Any info where? the only 2-3 npc's I have seen were the guy who teleports you to another location at freeport and the 2 shopkeeps (They were males anyways so...:D)

At age 100, thay said it take about 3 month to get that age, but the system is not active at the moment, so you get to age 100 and stay there, only visual old you will see. When system active there will be some fount that will make you yung again.

Will my character instantly die then when the system is activated??? If I get to a hundred years old and they activate it, won't he just die then? sheesh.. I'm already 46 (Been playing quite a lot the few days).

People say at age 100.

You need to get a kid, so male and female need to do some stuff. 

Yeah but where does this happen? Can I recruit an npc to make a kid with my character? Do I need another player for this? Where is the menu to do it?

How does this actually work?

1.) At what age does your character die?
2.) How do you get a successor for your character?

Just make it so that they can only for example, appear during the night or during fog/special weather. Reduce the spawns further to match the weather on the entire map and a limited vicinity so that they cannot be within a certain distance of each other (so there wouldn't be 2 of them in the same fog area and if one ship appears for people x on certain area, a ship can't appear twice with the same fog if one is already defeated).

This "thing" WAS supposed to be somewhat "rare" wasn't it? ...so make it so! Besides, it'll be more THRILLING to encounter when it appears silently from the mist or from the pitch black of the night.. and it's lights won't show until it aggros someone, otherwise it stays hidden. When you defeat it, you'd get those rare spoils that only drop from defeating one. Now that'd b a REAL ghost ship! As it is now, it feels like it's nothing special and just another "monster" roaming the seas. @Jatheish

Let us choose the island we want to respawn to. It's stupid that I can't even run back to my body to get my gears after I die. I've tried killing myself A HUNDRED TIMES, yes literally, I counted, a hundred times to get back to the island where I was, but I can't. It just spawns to the wrong island in the island group. This is not how it's supposed to work on starting islands. Another thing is, that I tried stealing a raft when I got sick of dying over and over and spawning to the same damn island just to notice that stealing a raft takes FOUR HOURS? Jesus, it should be 30 minutes, the same like when you steal land as well. Four hours is WAY too long to actually steal a raft.

Also, make it so that you can edit a post for more than 5 minutes, sheesh.

They should wipe everyone's levels back to 1 and clear the map from bases, Why? Let me tell you..

- Get rid of "zone claiming" completely so that you could build anywhere. Now you can't land anywhere and fight to claim a zone if it's even being contested. There's absolutely no point in trying to even go contest, because you can't build anywhere, you can't get gear and even if you did go and try to claim an area, the zone owners will get an instant notification if someone is on their turf. This shouldn't be a thing to begin with. You would actually need to monitor the zone yourself to weed out intruders. You're making it way too easy for defenders.

- Put an IP ban on connections from China until there's an actual server for them. They are massing the servers and causing them to crash. More importantly, they are spamming the dupe bug at the moment and making the game unplayable for a lot of people.

 - Nerf hypothermia damage. It's way too high at the moment and causes you to die within seconds. Heat doesn't do even nearly as much as damage as cold does. Also, you don't wanna stand near a bugged fireplace that "might" heal you. Either nerf the cold damage or greatly increase the heating power of a single fireplace.

- Make water more accessible. There's not enough water sources in the game. At least make it so that you could fill your water bottle when you dig water from the ground.

- Get rid of the excess ghost ships, which is currently going on in the servers. They get stuck on shores making it impossible to even build on the beaches.

- Make water "tornadoes" actually spawn randomly ALL OVER SEA and not just in 1 spot at around I15 (there were 8 -10 tornadoes in one spot and I have never even seen one randomly someplace else, anywhere). 

- Fix the clusters of animals. Many animals just get stuck in 1 place and they can't roam freely. There was one 10 square feet of land in and island that had 20 giraffes in it. This is clearly not working as intended and you can see it clearly that it is not.

- Fix the aggro range of certain animals so that you even get a feel of "avoiding" something. Creatures aggro you from so far that it's not even funny.

- Fix the running speed of wolves & lions and get rid of their immobilizing attack, because it makes you not being able to fight against them. 

- Make players actually have to stock up on supplies when you travel on the sea and just not have people abuse the "spawn with full vitals" "feature". Make it feel like an achievement to reach a far island while surviving the elements! 

- Make wind turn more often. It's not fun to "sail" for 4 hours without the wind turning even 5 degrees.

- Make a permanent fix for the servers, it's not funny when servers go down for many hours each and every day. Since the whole launch, the EU servers haven't stood up for 24 hours straight even once.

- Buildings have way too much HP, they need to be adjusted. If you can't destroy a thatch wall/hut with an iron hatchet after hitting it for an hour straight, somethings wrong. Also add in the possibility to burn buildings somehow for damage over time.

- Fix the "no damage" bug when shooting with arrows and things (maybe counts guns too, I haven't got that far yet). I have literally shot a fish 10 times and it didn't receive any damage from it. This counts in ALL animals, not just fish alone.

- Fix animal run paths. Some animals run around you like wild goose and it's impossible to hit them.

- Make swinging spear in water cost less stamina when hunting for fish. You can't even fight a manta without the fear of drowning because 2-3 swings deplete all your stamina and the manta might not even be dead that time yet. (Even if it was lvl 1-2) which then gets us to the next point..

- Fix animal levels and damage. They are way too inconsistent. A lvl 1, LEVEL ONE, rhino should be an easy target, but if you even make the simple mistake of attacking one, it will trample you to death. Their HP alone does not equal to their "level".

- Alpha animals have still not left all freeports and starting areas.

- Fix the spawns on lawless regions to actually randomly drop you on land and not in the freezing water. Swimming off the water takes at least a quarter of your hp by default, so it's not fun to start the game like that.

- Make more eatable fish spawn in Freeport beaches. The waters are literally emptier than the pond at the park near my house.

- Fix the FPS issues. I have a brand new Intel i9-9900k processor computer with a Nvidia GTX 1080ti and CL14 3200mhz fast memories. I have 30-40 fps on anywhere on the map. I'd be afraid of playing this game if I didn't have water cooling on my processor and a well aired/cooled computer case to keep the temperatures down when the game gets stuck in menu with 20 fps and high CPU usage every time I launch the game.

- Fix animals getting stuck on walls and drowning on water.

- Fix animals so that they roam back to their spawn areas and not getting stuck on rafts & player corpses.

- Trees on tundra and trees on high desert spawning zones give a different amount of actual wood when hit. I think this is more of a bug than a feature.

- Saving your character layout doesn't save your tattoos. I spent an enormous time (lol.. like 2 hours) making a dragon tattoo to my characters arm, just to find out I can't remake the same character model with the tattoos with the saved file. Now the saved files have vanished somewhere and I don't even know where. Now I'm dreadfully waiting for my character to die of old age when I haven't even been able to experience even half of the things this game has to offer because all of the before mentioned bugs and I couldn't even recreate him like he was with the layout saving not working.

.................

So... these were just from the top of my head for now... there's a few reasons why this game should be reset to give everyone a fair chance to play the game and get their bases up in islands. The problematic situation arises when 90% of the players aren't able to play for many hours while that 10% who claims 80% of all the islands while others can't play and boost themselves in level to escape the rest from catching them. It's just not really fair.

....and yeah more importantly, devs, please respond to critical server situations more faster. It's been 5 hours, yes FIVE hours since the log in servers crashed and we still haven't heard a single reply from you on the issue. A simple "We are working on a fix" or "We are looking into it" would be more friendly to the community, than not say anything at all.

Best regards

Seriously. Feels like there's no one at Grapeshot even reading the reports about servers being down? There are people PLAYING and getting an unfair advantage over the game when others can't even log in. Can't you just shut down the servers for everyone if things are broken? Please?

I just spent 4 hours rafting to a location only to be killed by lvl 40's who were camping their area. The notifications that your area is being claimed should also be removed so people wouldn't be so easily alerted to come and kill you. You'd actually have to LOOK THE MAP to see if your area is lost or not to know if someone is claiming it and patrol the area for people. This game needs a shroud of secrecy for the new players to actually have a chance to progress in the game. Now it's just like this "Oh hey someone is claiming your area at X4 Y7"  ... let's go kill them. "Oh these people have no gear and things BECAUSE THEY HAVENT EVEN BEEN ABLE TO CRAFT THEM" Why? because you can't build a single damn building in a freeport area to actually make a weapon for yourself. You need to raft yourself into an island. Supposedly CLAIM a spot on the island (which is not even possible if "claim is being contested".) Get the area to actually manage to build weapons so you could FIGHT the people who have claimed the island. But no... you raft yourself there, naked, without weapons for 4 hours sitting on a raft, just to get killed by a lvl 40+ who happened to discover the island as soon as the game was launched and managed to evade all the server problems.

There's like SO MANY THINGS wrong right now with this mechanic it's not even funny.

The whole problem with this game is, that every area is taken and those who have actually got the chance to play on these areas 24/7 through all server shit and things have already progressed to lvl 40 and basically one shot people who try to claim their lands. Claiming takes way too much time, sailing takes way too much time, wind should be disabled on rafts so you could move rafts anywhere without having to worry about waiting 4 hours for the wind to change. Cold weather should be nerfed as it does way too much damage at the moment. Water should be more easily accessible. Actually have a point in stacking supplies to your raft without the whole bed respawn abuse for "free vitals every time" and the list goes on and on and on, hell, even the spawn points for people should be changed so, that they are not equally divided on the map, so you'd ACTUALLY have to travel far with supplies to find an island for you. 

When all these things are fixed, the game needs a total wipe of characters and levels so everyone gets an equally fair start at the game. There's no point in trying to find islands as it's way too hard to even get to them and even if you do, it's already claimed by some people who eat/sleep at their computers so you can't even make a base "on claimed land" to actually CONTEST the island, so also remove the fact that you need to "claim the area" in order to build because that's just stupid.The way things are now, it's just not working.

To say things short:

You can't start this game as a new player anymore. That's the biggest problem.

Also, the range monsters aggro need to be reduced by 60%. It's WAY too high at the moment.

There are WAY TOO MANY crocodiles and other shitty creatures on the beaches of islands. It's near impossible to even land anywhere. You should really take a look at reducing the amount of creatures on all islands. It's stupid to play the respawn game when the aggro range on the monsters is also bugged.

I am on an island without law and I can not put the flag and then I can not respawn in bed. How can I put the flang?

Yeah same happening to me. For example the islands at the very bottom of the map area H15, and all the 15 zones are unclaimable. The islands are WAY too full of crocodiles and other shit, even with a crew of 5 it's near impossible to land some places.

Build first bed on your raft. There shouldn't be to many tiles outside of Freeport tiles you can't build in not sure what happening there. You have to claim an area to build your house. Use F1 skill and place flag on unclaimed territory . The claiming process take 10 min. If the island is full you can try and find another one. Some people have abused the claiming flags and littered and island with claims for like 1 person. You can contest these areas by just placing your flag down close to there's . Contesting a flag takes 1hr 30min and you must be in the vicinity the whole time.

 

Check out the map on playatlas site to see where the big group of claims are so you know to avoid those island and check somewhere else

The problem is that I can't find an island that I can claim when every island I try says its Lawless? How do I know is the island is lawless or not while looking at the map?

Just now, Hackjob said:

Depends what you want to do really. Do you want to setup a base ?do you want to make a bigger ship? 

Go claim a spot build a hut so you can protect and store your goods. Level up build a bigger boat, explore, sandboxes are more open ended end game. Only 1 quest in game so far and at the end it's to kill a kraken so you might need good gear and friends a good ship to do it.

I want to setup a base on some random island and do exactly what you said, but the game keeps telling me "You can't build here because this island is lawless" and every island I've gone off to has said the same. Feels like there are NO islands you can even claim/build in. The only problem with Lawless islands is that you can't deploy a bed to spawn in to, which is something I don't understand at all. Where can I build a base, a bed, and start building bigger ships?

Now where in the WORLD can I actually claim an area and start to build my base in? This island system is BEYOND confusing. Can someone tell me the basics of what to do after you get off on your raft?
