Proactively trying to kill this game for solo players? I have played since launch day, I endured the lag, the crashes , the terrible design decisions. I just like to build ships and sail around exploring. I come back after a break to see how things have progressed and it seems I can't even build a Schooner because I need 5K gold which is more than I have ever collected in this game. Makes no sense and kills the game, for me at least.

They can look in them but they cannot remove what is inside.

Did you try dying? Might un-bug your character?

This is pretty much what I always considered the fog of war to be. It may not have looked exactly like that but it was always how I imagined it.

It happens on PC also. I think it happens when you open the map while holding down right mouse most often, or your Xbox equivalent key. I have never found a fix and just restart the client.

You are not. It ruins a certain amount of fun for people who love to explore. Also, very useful for logging where you haven't yet visited. As always, people whinged and it was changed.

Kudos to the guys who tried and succeeded at this!

Why don't you "remove it" yourself.

Any action in this way would require another wipe with the resulting drop in players then putting you back to where we are now. Leave it as it is and see what happens.

I have also been enjoying solo in Lawless. I was in several companies of varying sizes before, ending with Dark Project Armada just before the wipe. Since the wipe I have just been hoboing in Tundra Lawless on EU PvP and it is great. I don't have much and some tit killed my two bears at the weekend but other than that life is quite pleasant. To be honest I rarely even hear from other players so it mostly feels like I am all alone in the world. Might not be what many people want but I have my little hut, my sloop (someone sank my Schooner before I even sailed it) and I am fairly happy with it.

I originally had issues with trying music but a few goes at the same song and it gets fairly easy. As for right-handed; the keys used are left-hand keys, meaning the left-hander has greater dexterity to play the music. They actually have an advantage. If they feel they don't, just take your hand off your mouse and use that one to key the music ^.^

I think I will be going somewhere cold. I have always liked the Tundra areas and as soon as you get a decent Yeti trap setup things are pretty relaxed The only problem is normally the lack of fiber but it is one particular resource that is really easy to transport. All I really want is a little spot to call my own

Shoot them at sails and it should slow down the target ship.

I have done both, solo at the start, a couple of medium companies (that got absorbed by) a large company and then (absorbed by) an even larger company. Now, I am still in that larger (top 10, although not hard currently) company but it now feels like I am solo again (apart from all the bases I have access to). It was fun at all stages but the autonomy is a different challenge. While it sucks to be some dude below decks repairing planks while someone else is having the most fun up-top sailing and shooting the cannons, it also sucks when your brig sinks because you had no one to repair the planks while you sailed and fought. Solo you never have to second guess what you are doing because maybe you are not "Pulling your weight" in the company. In a company you can slack off and few would notice but some have the compunction to assist their company even if their solo leanings are not noticed. As you can probably see, I am not certain which is more preferable; I am currently having fun though

You can't do any PvP with them. They are used only for SotD, animals etc.

Or Megas are why the game is now so low population. In reality it is because you have two competing play styles and neither of them is "right". It is just over-entitled people who think they can declare that some play style is correct and another is incorrect that is troubling, but that is just human nature.

Beautiful base Cantore!

Tundra life is hard

If it were me, I would first regret posting what he did, and second stop digging lol This! You should realise that you thinking that "Winning at all costs" outweighs decency to your fellow players, allies and tribemates is what has offended people [Edit] Anyone else just chilling with an NPC for company?

Glad it is not just me who thinks that guy is a douche.

Tundra, non-Lawless. On an Iceberg if I have to ^.^

That would be the economical way to do it; but what exactly would the purpose of the second wipe be? Just leave us playing on the PTS

A Carbine works quite well.

Just to point out that it is also the middle of the day in the EU and morning in the Americas on a normal weekday. Not exactly peak player times.

Well, I bit the bullet and booked off W/C April 1st. Let's see how my gamble pays off
