I'm a PVE Player and I really miss fog of war. That's the point about EXPLORATION, you don't know the world you MUST explore to found new islands and places. It doesn't make sense to allow visible all the map.

Lawless Islands aren't claimable.

Sadly the answer is: Foundation Spam. Put some of them around your base and shipyard and thats it.

I went to Lawless Island, build my 6x6 base with two floors (thats the only space i need to have a base) and look around and was impossible to don't have the "put-some-foundations" idea to avoid others to do that spam around my base, so, i choose to be the spammer guy in that spot, but i'm sure there are a lot of space for others players, but yes, spam foundations is something inevitable.

Many Gigabytes to update and setup that new claim system, to fail again... A .ini file with less than 1 Kb with the solution: #flaglimitnumber = "Put here a number" Good job dev's.

Oh dude! thank you, i didn't know that or maybe i missed that from patch notes. I will travel this night to unlocked discovery points. Thanks again.

I'm playing at EU PVE and started in Lawless Island, then i visit like 3 places in that same island but there were no discoveries message and in the Discovery Window, there aren't any unlocked places and says 0/2000 (or the right number) places discovered, BUT, when i go to that place with my pathfinder, is a little text in the upper-right corner in my window that says the name of the place discovered. Is a bug? i already discover that place but didn't count? Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, is possible. Yesterday I started to play on PVE PTR Server and I went straight to the lawless island where i was playing last months, same spot and is quiet and nice, because not depredator animals and a lot of resources. I build my base, my shipyard and put some foundations around to avoid...you know...those toxic players, if somebody are going to spam with foundations that place i choose to be my own. So, yes, living in a lawless island is possible and is enough for players like us.

Lastnight, i creat my pathfinder and respawn in one of my favourites lawless island (same spot than my last pathfinder in NA PVE). Everything seems so calm and quiet, so i build my base, shipyard and start to travel. The game seems a little more fluid. I hope to go to a claimed island to see how it works this mechanic, but, for now, lawless it's ok for me.

Well, i hope not update and wipe this week, better next week on holydays

So, that means that i'm going to play and live on lawless zones, without caring about claim land and become in a feudal-lord, like my last 200 hrs playing ATLAS? OK, i'l take it!

THIS! Would be awesome to have a kind of contract or a couple of mission to hunt Blackbeard, Morgan and more. Sailing, following some clues and found where they are or go to some kind of freeport, fight against their crew and capture him and send to the Royal Navy and take the reward.

Oh dude! you read my thoughts. How it's possible that game dev's think about "people will keep playing", if there will be a wipe each couple of months? This game is so HUGE and with a lot of things to do and a huge map for exploration, people put a lot of time and effort getting their stuffs and sailing and explore discovery places for upgrade his character and all the painful taming mechanics...to listen the message from dev's: hey guys, in a couple of weeks, you're going to lose everything. For me, it's ok THIS wipe, is kind of neccesary to clean all the f_cking claim land and to put more islands, and i'm excited to play after wipe, BUT, maybe more wipes in a near future will be a kick in the balls. Glad to read you sir!

I was a little disappointed when wipe was announced, it was so hard to got my stuff, after looking for a nice place to stablished, sailing in my raft around the map for 80 or 90 hours until finally found a couple of islands in lawless zone to build a base. Then, i build some ships and discover like 100 places and tame several bears and wolves. I already played +300 hours and is a little annoying to see dissaper all we have and all the effort to got it. But, it's ok if this wipe happend to fix claim system or put some new mechanics, isn't the end of the world, is just that feeling that all the effort you've put in, is going to disappear, even if it's a game in EA. I mean, i want to keep playing, but, if every couple of months there will be a wipe...whats the point to discover places, build your stuff, found and keep valuable resources, armor, weapons and more? Don't say me : "just for the feedback, is an EA game" NO. It isn't necessary to restart everything each 2 months to do a feedback and implement new things. I'm ok with this first wipe, is necessary for the abuse on claiming land, and i will be ready to play when wipe arrives, but, i don't want to put my time and effort in this game, if every couple of months a wipe will happen.

As real life: Some people leave you and never come back, some others leave you and comeback in a short or long future. So, avoid the drama and let it be...

I'm in PvE, I'm going to keep playing, but not the same amount of hours per day, even, a couple of days offline and just to connect and restart the decay timer, but, being honest, now i don't care if somebody take my stuff and demolish my bases, with the incoming wipe, who cares? So, i'll wait for wipe and try to take a nice place in some similar islands were i have my bases and enjoy the development of the game. I like this game, but as PvEplayer i'm looking for a little relaxing experience, sail, explore, build a nice base, found resources, places, treasures, tame and more so, it's normal that i'm having a kind of disappointment to lost everything that cost me more than 300 hrs to get. For me, is a break, not the end of the world.

Yes, you're right. In PvP it's a day by day to protect your stuff and watch your back from other players to avoid losing everything, so the wipe is something that you can accept, but, for people that plays in PvE is annoying because they're looking for other kind of experience, fighting against the environment and trying to have a little relaxing game style, that the wipe turn into disappointment. I mean, in general, a wipe it's ok (isn't the end of the world) to clean all the map and have the opportunity to claim some land, BUT starting from zero, when you're wasting a lot of time to find a spot and build your bases, well, is understandable. I play in PvE and I'm going to take a break, and wait for the wipe to sail and found a nice spot.

I think the disappointment it's because all the effort of 3 months playing, sailing around a lot of servers to finally find a spot, to place a base and craft your stuff, building your ships, travel across the map to found new places, different resources. That's because people are leaving, well, at least is my personal reason. I don't see the point to keep playing this month, knowing that all i'll get or build, will disapper in 1 month. BUT, i know i will back after wipe, it's ok to have new land to claim or to build there, but, i really hope, that the first day after wipe, big companies don't take all the land as it's now.

Ups, thats a real problem, because the island in the server were i am right now, has clean water, metal, honey, mix of plants, nice beach for shipyard and minimal wild animals (a couple of wolfs). Well, i hope to be lucky and after wipe, found a similar kind of island. Good luck to you

THIS! i have the same idea. Hope that nobody take it my place.

I'm going to take a rest for now, wait for the wipe and see how the game evolve and comeback in a couple of months. I don't see the point to keep playing this month, founding, getting and building stuff to lose it all in 1 month.

What's the point to keep playing this game, for 1 month more, if all the stuff you found, get and build will be wiped in 1 month? Dev's you're going to make a huge mistake. But, it's ok for me, it's time to take a break from ATLAS and play another game, so thanks in advance.

I already did the 2nd time FoY and got the stats bonus.

Thats the point, isn't about the system requirements or the game itself, MINE is far worse than yours, and ZERO crashes. But, it's OK, see you
