SoloHan88

It just bothers me they call it. "The Pieces of Eight." If they are referring to PotC, it was "The Nine Pieces of Eight." But yes I agree. That is how this game is essentially set up. A lot of people on these forums, reddit, twitter, and discord do not seem to understand that. They want to be able to do endgame content quickily and do so as a solo player. They hate the land claim system but given the chance every single one of them would have abused it to. They are just upset they didn't get to it first.

It is a Wildcard/Grapeshot game. Everything costs a lot. Unfortunately.

I like this game but yes there are always toxic players. Their sole mission is to kill/raid. That's all they do.

I never said what type of game it was. Just that you think its something it's not.

Then this isn't the game for you. You're thinking it's something that it's not.

If you don't claim and entire island it just gives others the opportunity to.take what you have to do claimed and eventually force you off the island. That's unfortunately how these games work.

We'll just have to wait and see.

The game isn't meant for all 40k players to have their own island. Defeats the purpose of the game. Don't get me wrong, it would be nice but not going to happen.

Hence why I said I think your idea of what this game is, isn't what the game actually is. I'm not defending it. I just merely stated what this game is. It's not my favorite aspect either, but I'm playing it that way. Come over to A5, we'll help ya out. There are resource bugs in the game, and it's only been out for a week. Full release isnt for another 2 years as stated by devs. Plenty of patches to come friend.

That's what alliances are for. Start trading local. It will expand. What I did and its working. And yes, you chat. Its what it is for. Communication. You don't have to broadcast what you have right away. I think your idea of the game is different from what it actually is. You're not supposed to just be on one island from start to finish.

And I suppose you could but it would be much easier to just trade than to potentially lose your ships and whatever resources you have on you. Promotes trade.

Don't think so. Would be nice though.

Well you wouldn't just take it because you'd most likely have to fight whoever has the land that resource is on.

This must be rare instances as we had just finished our sloop and were pulling it out of the dock and a Damned ship was just circling about 300ft away. Never came any closer and I saw another sloop go right past it. Hopefully they get it figured out.

I think they could give every player a small piece of land with at least the essentials where you are safe. It could be the same island per zone where everyone has the same land but when you go there it is only you, if that makes sense. Maybe they could implement something similar to that. Also, if you had land outside of that "safe zone" you would have to be online if someone wanted to try to take it from you. That way it would encourage actual PVP and not "lets wait till they all log off and take it"

Agree. Soft wipe.

Everybody is right now. It's a plague.

It's what this is about though. They want there to be an in game player based economy. One island might need metal that the next island has, and that island might need fiber. It's to promote communication, trade. As of right now it's just kos but hopefully it will change. If given the opportunity you wouldn't claim an entire island or two yourself?

To me a sloop is just meant for going 1 or two islands over if you don't want to risk anything bigger.

You said it. The way it is now, you have to eat 500,000 calories between pick/hatchet swings. Its really frustrating when you are completely full but low on a particular vitamin.

Yes this was needed. I do think thought 8 points for certain things is a bit much. I'm sure adjustments to this will come.

I built a foundation about 30ft under water and placed a chest there. Been there untouched for a week.

Yeah I don't think a roll back will help. Just rebalance what they did last night. There is supposed to be a patch tonight to do just that.

I agree it sucks that the land has been claimed but I believe that is what the devs want. They want several big companies to control a lot of land so you have to pay taxes to the land owner if you want to use/farm it if they will allow it and not just kill you. It's supposed to create an online trade but time will tell if it actually works or not.

Yeah this is poor implementation of the claiming system.
