Agree about the hunger/hydration/vitamins being a bit too harsh atm but I'm sure they have and will hear that a lot and make changes along the way as they did with Ark EA, lots of bumps in the road and a few really really wrong turns but at the end of the day they pulled it off.

The problem I see with a road map is the toxic world of REEEEEEEEEE that we live in now, they lay out a rough plan and every small change made will be more OMG YOU PROMISED, LIARS  blah blah blah, you know the routine. It's a lose lose for them anymore, don't say anything = terrible communication , tell everyone a general direction you want to take development = broken promises and lies.

Agreed, had the chance to spend some quality time swimming during the - everyone spawn in the ocean / crash-rollback swim some more phase and was very impressed with how cool the ocean / waves/ currents are in here. It will probably be overlooked by people just trying to get where they are going but damn fine job guys.

Correct me if I'm wrong but what I'm understanding is that someone can take over your claim while you are offline , not have to bother with blowing your stuff up and stealing loot but just downright take over all of your buildings/dry docks and whatever because you made the fatal error of going to work or to sleep and don't have people playing from every time zone?

Please tell me this isn't really the system you came up with for your "GOAT" MMO.

I have no issues with the to be expected problems that come up with a launch, even more so with an EA launch and think you have been doing a fine job jumping on the problems that have popped up but if this is really the rule set you envision for this game I just don't even know what to say.

This goes to core mechanics that I can't believe anyone would think is a good idea.

Say it ain't so!!!
