This is not a salty post. We would like to learn from this attack so in the future we may be able to prevent it. 

Our base just got hit today with 4 crabs. Ballista work but We kept getting picked up off it. And when ever the crab took any damage they jumped over some thing and healed up.  We’re open to suggestions for the next time. 

Captan the small whales you pull to the surface don’t seem to give any gold. You have to attack the large ones already at the surface. As for the one you killed swimming circles that’s shitty luck. We live down south and kill whales daily and have not had that happen yet. 

I thought we were supposed to only be able  to join 2 different alliances? I logged in last night to find my squad in 3. Is there a limit? 

 This server was suppose to be small tribe friendly. Why increase alliance numbers to make it a little easier for the big guys?

You claim an island by pressing F1 with the proper gold amount. After the flag is dropped it acts like a tax bank. You don’t need a tax bank. You may want one if you place your flag on top of a mountain somewhere. 

You take over an island by placing your claim flag inside their flags circle. If you press H you can see the circle. Now you have to keep all the old owners out of that circle. 

Your only hope is to whistle it to follow them run away. Sometimes they pop out. I don’t think your going to get a GM to help sorry. 

Never mind lol. No idea where the slave thing comes from.  

You can become a settler on some ones island. Lots of company’s are looking for people. Or you can join a crew that will let you do your own thing. 

Sorry I didn’t realize you could see every ones tax rate on the map. Thank you for that information.

I’m curious what other people are taxing there islands. 

Thanks guys. 

Does having settlers not decrease your island upkeep?

We recently decreased our tax rate and shortly after a group of 2 showed up asking for permission to build some thing small. We agreed so they set up a small farm base with a taming pin ect. We are getting resources but our island upkeep is the same. 

No you still need gold, the points just limit you on how many islands you can claim.

Discord is a 3rd party software - i.e. not property of GS, so message integration is a matter of additional expenses. And not everyone uses it. Many people use TeamSpeak, Skype etc. Apart from this, DS, TS etc. servers may have different permissions - to allow or block messages from unregistered users, pass-protected etc. 

Long story short - forget it.

I’m not sure that’s true. They said in a captains log it was going to happen. I’m just not sure if it’s already implemented. Scroll down to the notifications section. 

Notification System

• Players can sign up for email notifications related to company log activity
• Company Logs that have any physical in-world location shall now include the grid and GPS. (e.g a boat was sunk on K5 at 50 50)
• Discord Webhook for in game company notifications

So I see in the patch notes we get notifications now when some one settles on our island. Is there a way to get those sent to a discord or some thing when we’re offline?

I agree. Put in on a PTR and let us break it.

I totaly agree ALCA, although I would have used the word "shit" a little bit less

We are a Company of  2 - My husband and me! We tried to survive since release:) I think if there is a statistic of who died the most, we are right in the top:) We reached an Island, somehow, put our flag into earth, died about 1000 times til it was our land, but it was worth it. We build up and after a while, we had a good aliance with the whole Island. But some of them were too brave, attacking a very big guild. One day they came back and wiped us all;( We lost everything. But we learnd a lot - what we did wrong about building our house and defense.

We found a new Island, a new aliance. Build our house and defense better, we learned what we did wrong - we needed more LARGE CANONS! So we build a better defense! Travelling many hours to get a ramshakle Sloop "full" of stuff, we didn't have on our Island. Made discovery points, got 2 times to the fountain of youth etc. etc. to build our characters.

So - I dont have a big Problem with a claim wipe. But isn't it enough to wipe claims? not the whole character?!

AND: When you bring the new Claim System - we just have to merge in a bigger Company (what we really dont want to) or we have to build on an Island where another Company tells us what to do. We cannot build any defense anymore, as it is said in the patch notes. The new Claim System Limits smaller companies in a lot of Things that are really fun, like building base defense, owning a piece of land, with our own territory flags and msgs and the like....

Isnt it possible to have raiding times to select and stay with the claim system we have now? Or that all claimowners of an Island can choose a raid window via poll in a new building that afterwards is the same for the whole Island....  

And to be honest - there should be always ppl starting over new with this game -  should we always wipe all and everything so these ppl have a fair chance to get an Island??? I mean, comeon! We are only 2 ppl, found a place 2 times! Everywhere around us where companys, telling in the Claim message, if you want to have a piece of land, you can contact them…. So dont know whats the Problem with the Claim System! Give us more posibilities to defend against offline Raiders as ALCA said, and everything would be fine for me...

so Maybe remove the claim system on PVE server, or something like that, but on PVP Server it is working fine.  

Right now i am really frustrated, so I logged in and thought, that I dont know what to do... it is all in vain… I am really sad, because I really loved this game  

 

 

I don’t like the idea of not being able to build cannon towers to defend our harbor. That’s what I do most days is build and maintain our defenses.  But they had to make a change. If not this game was not going to last.

I love every thing about the patch except the idea of not being able to defend. But I don’t see a way they can change it. If they make it so any one can build defenses then any attacking clan can come ashore and start dropping mortars. 

Maybe make it so alliance members can build defenses?

Stop and look at the server numbers over the last month. They had to do some thing. Most people must not like the system the way it is.

Aight my bad didn't pick that up during the stream. Won't be issues then with Freeport at launch

A lot of people missed it. If your like the guys in my clan they didn’t catch it live so they skipped over the PvE trench stuff and started watching around the 30min mark. 

If you missed it fast forward to the 20min mark in the stream.

Wait didn’t they say at launch you could pick any server to start on? We won’t have to all start at a free port.

Yes Buck. Neutral let’s them defend them self and other tamed animals/ npc/ you. 

I would like to know how it works as well. Does every flag you place decrease the timer by a min? Any one figure out how it works?

Just make it so you can only fast travel across zones if your spawning on a ship. I know there are ways to inclose boats in stone garages. But large stone structures over the water are much easier to locate than the little huts in the center of the island. 

Stupid question, but do you have enough resources?
