if they did QWERTY row it might be better because then everything is on the same line.

I liked the cupboards in RUST make the spot the diameter of the old sea claims. give one per tribe. Increase the size of the claim radius a % for every member over 10. That circle is more than enough to have a base set up. you place that sucker right at the shore and it protects your ships and shipyards and give plenty of land area for barns houses ...or a castle... Let the company owner choose square or round. Have no allys but allow Hunting Parties to form for daily hunting that only last 10 hours and must be renewed and all be online to be in the adventure group. The only real challenge here would be for your company to strategically find that perfect piece of shoreline... (not a whole damn island) PvE of course this would never work for pvp unless you have said claim have the raid window like colonies.

How do you find out server player numbers?

1 minute every five seconds I think is the time conversion

gold

came to an island can't put a flag down says I have 0/200 island points

If this turns into a foundation spam pillar fest I will go to a private server (7oxic Gaming). I dont play to have to fight off grievers and trolls, I play to do treasure maps, fight aotd ships and slaughter whales by the scores. My company only requires a bout 4-5 flags worth of space for our docks houses and mega-barn (we have tamers) . anything else as long as it doesn't block resources is cool around us. Dont be an asshat and just play the game.

Are there only ever going to be just the ships we have now? Or will we need to rely on smaller server set and modders making the different ships to fill in the gaps?

ANKY!!!

I liked that you had until lvl 50 to decide then you had one last respec to be what you where going to be the rest of your career.

Our company all have what we call "dying boxes" on board our ships. vitamins down? Put all your stuff in the dying box and jump overboard! Dying and vitamins need a rework. Perhaps a wound system like SWG you keep dying your health pool gets smaller.Then the medicines will be a viable field to spec into. As this would be the way you get your full health pool back. This cut zerging down to almost nothing. The musicians and dancer professions in SWG would buff these stats so you had a reason to go to a tavern and socialize for a few mins while you buffed up before battle. It worked really well and should be re implemented here.

as a 3 year ark server owner admin... only ever announce a wipe 2-3 days ahead tops. or I found it better to just say. " stuff is broke. gotta wipe it....sorry" a few people will stomp off in a huff but MOST will only get a little grumpy then get back to rebuilding better than the last base or getting a better base spot and whatnot. whenever I made the mistake of announcing wipe too early...the servers became ghost towns. EVERY TIME

combine the servers and have people flag for pvp/pve with cooldowns! want to pvp..flag. you get 24 rl hours to prepare your company. boom you are pvp. no backing down. You tired of pvp? reflag to pve...oh...yeh it will take 30 days to go back to pve. so make sure you can take it as well as dish it out before flagging. if you are pve and fire at a pvp, you get a warning. continue firing ..no damage... and it will start your pvp activation timer.

Simple. Add a command the owner of a company can do in the UI. To flag the company and pve or pvp. give a ONE MONTH cool-down on the option. So you want to blow things up? cool. you can also be blown up for the next month...good luck. Make it more hard core by having to wait a two weeks to turn pvp but two months to return to a peaceful state. or the faction idea as mentioned above. pirates, merchants, or independents.

they need to make aotd actual ships that use the wind that can be boarded. you get to fight them. then once the boss is defeated a few of the crew...skelletons...must be locked in a cage for 24 hours and fed like a tame they they turn back to people to hire.

You get to fight them. then once the boss is defeated a few of the crew...skelletons...must be locked in a cage for 2 hours on a ship not on land and fed like a tame they then turn back to people you can hire and these new crew have the loot to give you for rescuing them.

PVE 20-30 flags per company. AND THAT IS IT. That would allow for many small outposts or one big base. Make any structure not placed in a claimed territory fall apart within 3-days unless picked up no timer renew. Allow full time pickup of structure items this way folks can still build taming pens and such but pillars and foundations will not last outside of claimed territory. with 20-30 flags per company no one company can take everything. This is NOT for PvP ....

Since we have plate armor, leather armor, fur armor. We would love to see a rain suit. I would like it to be in the style of the Gorton's fisherman. A nice jacket with a hood, pants and rain boots. Have it be half the cold protection of fur but keep you 95% DRY while in the rain and protect you a % from water spout damage. To craft you could require whale skin, oil and fur or whatever.

This could be solved by doubling the sphere of a claim area (sea claim radius) then only allowing 1 flag per member of your company up to 250 flags.

So the landscape will then have a resource maintenance house every 20 feet filled with resouces. Can people build within your maintained sphere?

Thanks lux. I did. This is why i am posting here. Every island on pve will be as a lawless.

Serious question ... What will be better for blocking off the land now that flags cant keep people from building all up in your bases or in your harbors ? In pve we will have no way of combatting griefers that woukd build a shipyard in your harbor. Or a house next to your barn...it is going to be a disaster.

I am kinda sad to see my ships go... Having said that. If you guys want to leave, then see you! Here is the door /open_door. More room for My company

When running around doing discoveries and corpse runs, this would add a new layer of usefulness to the map. Please upvote!

This 100%. Our harbor is anchor stupid. Allowing mooring to shipyards would be the bees nees.
