I get the Army of the Damned is supposed to clean up the Lawless regions, etc, etc, but spawning them before any players have loaded in right after a server restart is downright absurd.

We've had an extremely hard time due to various glitches and issues with the game. For starters, our sloop we had originally made randomly was destroyed when the hull was 100% Then while we were trying to build our Scooner we sent our raft down 6 zones for fiber and sugarcane, and it randomly blew up while sailing. I have video footage of it, there was only 3 people on the boat, it wasn't sinking, etc. Then when we got back to the island, as we were building, the schooner randomly blew up too, with full health. After we took the supplies from the Scooner and made 2 Sloops, we took a sloop all the way down 6 zones again, finally got to the place we needed and we were finally going to get the fiber and sugar we needed. Well after the server restart, we got in to find an several ships from the Army of The Damned wrecked havoc on our sloop. 20-30+ hours of work lots to stupid glitches and bugs. The Army of the Damned was nowhere near us when we were kicked off, but as soon as we got in right after the restart they were all over us. Literally, not even 20 seconds into the server being up, the Army of the Damned was already literally right next to our ship firing cannons at us as we logged in. Now I'm not accusing anyone nor am I saying this is what is happening, but it feels like some developer is having fun at our expensive. This is beyond infuriating at this point, we've been trying to make progress on our island but due to the intense cold, no sap, lack of fiber, and several hundreds of animals on a small island, many of which are Alpha Wolves, it's nearly impossible. Can't make fur armor because of no sap, so we can't survive for more than 1 minute outside at night, even with 60 fortitude. In all honesty what fur coat as ever had honey in it? It makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER! And when we actually do the impossible, some glitch happens that undos 6-20+ hours of progress. I have video evidence of all this as well, as I was streaming when it happened. We would appreciate if we were given a Scooner as a replacement, or at the very least, just some fiber and sugar as a replacement. OR, do a rollback about 8 hours prior to 3:32 AM PST. Either or would be appreciated, but these constant issues make it literally impossible to play the game in any enjoyable fashion. Normally I would never ask for this from a game like Ark, but seriously, this is just plain ridiculous, and I can prove everything I just said.

How can one travel if they can't make a stone axe?

Thank you Mizz, I wish more people were talking about this.

This is an immediate issue in my opinion that is far more damaging to the player's experience than many of the bugs out there except for connectivity. There are FAR too many animals on some islands. Like a hundred horses, around 50 wolves, and 20 or so lions on a small island. Not to mention the 10 or so Alpha Wolves / Lions wandering the island that are practically unkillable. If there was 1 Alpha per island, this would not be an issue as much. Whats worse is when those 50 wolves find the hundred horses and kill them all, or 1 alpha wolf finds those hundred horses, instead of horses respawning, more wolves respawn. This is absolutely madding, 90% of my time is spent retrieving my body after an alpha wolf just ate it. Who could even think that's a part of being a pirate? There needs to be a set ratio of animals on each island, and the medium-small islands could use at minimum 50% less animals. Also Alpha Wolves and Lions shouldn't do as much increased damage as they do. Just change their level to 60-90 so they are strong, but not unkillable. I'm sure some people can kill them, but it ain't easy when you can't progress because you've lost your base to Alpha Wolves twice.

No understanding of why they made it a primary ingredient for fur armor when there is no sap in the regions where you need it. Not to mention Rabbits and Horses are everywhere up there, and require food that doesn't exist for 2-3 grids away. It's kind of ridiculous and not well thought out.

I am having the exact same issue. Happened a few hours ago.

Exactly what the title says. This needs to be changed, 90% of my time in this game is spent getting my gear back from 1 of the 5-10 Alpha Lions/Wolves on the island, along with their army of 30+ wolves. It's not a big island.

Can't Place Territory Flags In Enemy Territory - PvP Anybody else have this issue? The flag shows up like I should be able to place it, and it even makes the sound as if I've placed it, but it never places. We were claiming our island back just fine then all the sudden sometime today we just couldn't place them in enemy territory anymore. What's more is we can still place flags all over the island, we just can't claim anymore of our territory back or take any enemy territory for that matter.
