Here is the patch notes. 

“Explosive Barrels will be undergoing some changes with this patch, please note that they're still in the process of receiving their redesign, but this puts them close to it:

• Limited to 1 carryable stack per person.
• Stack size will remain at 10
• You will not be able to store them in creature inventories, however, legacy ones will remain there.
• They will be able to be placed near enemy structures and water without needing a claim flag, but not on boats itself.
• You will not be able to equip them into your hotbar, they must be placed from within the inventory.
• There will be a restriction to how many can be put down at a time within a certain radius.
• Reduced Explosive Barrel damage by approximately 20%
• Reduced Explosive Barrel explosive radius by approximately 20%”

If your new to the game just be aware lawless zones are a tough place to call home. Your things will get broken into. This game right now is not friendly to small groups so you need to make friends fast.  A lot of larger alliances use lawless zones to farm materials they don’t have on their islands. Start up a conversation (if they speak your language) and see if they have an opening or maybe land to rent.

If you want send me a message and  we can talk. We’re always looking for some new people. 

We use them all along our harbor. I don’t think that will stop some one from swimming up to the front of our boats from the sea. We’re going to need to redesign them for that reason. 

You can’t put them on ships but you can place them next to ships in the water. You can also place them on claimed land. So walk up to some ones door, wall ect and throw them down. So instead of making it harder to offline raid they made it easier.

Epic use a mess table to feed your AI. I never used a trough for anything other than animals.

Thanks guys. Did your cannons fire before you went through the zone walI? I was hopping they would have come back after a server restart but no luck there.  

So a couple days ago I noticed some of our large cannons we use for base defenses were missing npcs. The cannons still say there manned so I can’t assign new npcs to them. Any one seen this bug before? If so will the cannons still fire? 

You will never be able to hold an island with a small to medium group. You need to share the defenses with other allies. We’re on a small island with 3 other small/medium groups. It makes defenses so much easier to maintain. We may not live in a tropical paradise withh unlimited resources but we do ok. 

You also have to watch which bear you poke. We had a mega show up on our door step one time, and that was because an alliance member took out a friend of theirs. 24hrs and 2 dragons later they decided to make peace. They never really wanted our little island to begin with. 

If you an your friends want a second chance send me a message and we can talk. We’re always looking for some new blood. 

Think we have all made the mistake of our tames being on passive. It’s not a big deal until a lion wants to say hi. 

How do you turn off water? And does the fog command still work? It didn’t work last night while sailing. Then again I might have had a couple drinks in me at that time. 

Instead of running solo we have openings. Send me a message if interested. We’re not a mega guild. We do have land and a alliance. 

The name issue is the reason why so many small companies are stuck on lawless. We had a group of 10 friends that started at release. We figured out If we wanted land and security we need more. So we made friends with a couple other tribes on our lawless island and decided to merge. Yes we had to give up our name but getting land was more important. Since then we have secured a spot in an alliance. We have 3 different bases and a tight group of new friends. No one is a resource bitche. Every one has to farm. 

A few weeks ago one of our alliance members attacked the wrong person. They happened to be in an alliance with a mega. We took a vote and decided instead of feeding that tribe to the mega we would all stand and fight. 24hrs and 2 dragons (which we were not prepared for) latter the mega backed off. They had no real desire for our land so it was costing them to much. Our leaders meet and came to an agreement and we now live in peace. 

I’m 42 so no millenial but giving up our name was still easy for me. This is a game, and in order to play this game you need some new friends. (You don’t need 500 new friends) If those new friends already have land and resources then give up your name and start enjoying the game.

If any small groups are interested in talking let me know. Just some basic rules, don’t talk trash over chat, don’t attack any one unless first fired on or you get the ok from some one higher than you and every one farms in some way. 

Were not in a mega but we have a sold group of guys and a nice alliance on NA pvp. A lot of us are older so we keep the drama to a minimum. We do not go to lawless areas just to blow shit up.  You won’t stay in the tribe long if you do. We defend our alliance members and retaliate hard. If your interested I will put you in touch with our recruiter. 

Every one is trying to do it now because it’s easy mode. Right now you don’t have to PvE. You just have to Zerg past all the npc’s. If you wait until the Zerg is done then you will need to fight your way in with friends. That’s not a bad thing if you have claim mates willing to help.

You can build close to this now. We have 2. Just need people to spec into swimming/breathing. Swim down and start putting pillars. You can build on top of the pillars. Very, very time consuming but it works. Also looks better than the large doors.

But we’re all going to turn 90 again close to the same time. 

So now my 5 man crew are stuck at the load screen. Server full and it doesn't even give us a option to port back to our base. 

So we have some ship yard blueprints but we’re not sure if there worth using. Do they improve your ships you build in them? Thanks for any help.

Thanks

Is it possible to tow a raft behind a larger ship?
