As a small company living in lawless (I realize that isn't the ideal style of play for this game) the farmhouses and warehouses have really unbalanced the game for us. We enjoy small groups, building, exploring, making friends in lawless. The farmhouses make spamming and griefing of structures by other companies far too easy. It takes no effort for one person to walk up to our farmhouse, take out resources and spam large walls to drop around us or stone traps and foundations. Takes far more time for us to knock them back down each night.
Two new players were able to wipe our base overnight spamming cannonballs and cannons. I get it, it's PvP and cannonballs were never "difficult" to produce but it's certainly much more time effective now for players who have no interest in playing the game and instead just enjoy messing with people.
It would be nice to encourage ship building and sea travel without sacrificing building on land. It's not hard to rebuild a base but for us the new changes are really taking away the enjoyment and creativity from building. I understand the intention is to join large companies who have players on 24/7 but for us, that isn't what we enjoy about this game. I hope there is a balance worked out between the two play styles. It's a great game and we love playing. Appreciate the effort!
