Haha reminds me of the time someone was trying to grapple a floatsam as we were sailing by at full speed. He instead grappled a dolphin nearby and it pulled him off the boat. We were in a hurry so the sea became his grave.

I just feel bad for the bear. Poor guy had to be shitting honeycombs.

Or eat poop.

Not even a full page in and everyone is arguing about crap that has nothing to do with the op.

Eat poop, its whats for dinner!

I was against the idea of storing ships at first, but its become painfully obvious that this is something that needs a serious look. Not only does it assist with "offline" raiding but also can assist with server performance issues as these ships and corresponding mounted AI will be saved and not be active. Average mid to large company will have well over 10 ships at any given time stored which should free up server resources.

Long shot: It was reported awhile back that some customers on Comcast had connectivity issues due to their firewall service. You guys happen to be using Comcast?

Sounds like a synch issue. Death fixes these in most cases as you found out.

Publicly asking PvP'ers their strats when attacking enemies. Lets see how this plays out!

Renaming the bed sometimes fixes it as well.

When tames start lagging behind the ship walk to where it was and punch. It forces an update and the tame reappears. Its a synch issue between the client and server. I do this regularly and have never once lost a tame at sea. I've had a few attack sharks because I forgot to put them on passive, but thats on me and I whistled them back to the boat or hopped on them and rode them back.

If this thread doesn't highlight mental illness I don't know what will.

Cannons do solid damage to players, but the shots are slow and easily dodged. Not worth the ammo. The best is when an enemy leaves theirs on target all and you can use their cannons to shoot at you and hit their own ships or structures. If you want to know how much damage do single player. Spawn an NPC and put it on a cannon set to target all and drop company. Go stand in front of it and see what happens.

I've never had a ship sank by a sandbar. I watch the map and the water depth very closely. On the rare occasion I do hit one and take damage I immediately drop anchor. If damage is bad enough I repair it. If waves are high I wait for calmer waters before raising my anchor. Raising an anchor in shallow waters with high winds is asking to be sunk.

If you have an issue that needs to be troubleshot you need to put a ticket in. If you expect the devs to read every single damn thread in every forum you are in for a rude awakening. https://www.playatlas.com/index.php?/support-tickets/

I am pretty sure if you manually join the same server you were already on you rejoin the game like nothing happened. My guess on setup: Server has master database of characters. Client has cached copy for easy rejoin option. Reinstall OS or game of course local cache is gone so client does not have rejoin option. Devs need to have the client synch these files when the client authenticates. Should reduce these weird ass issues. I don't like the intro screen for this game much. It could use an overhaul to be a bit more intuitive.

Yeah never create a new character. In the past we had people crash and the easiest fix was to have someone shoot the sleeping character in game. After that they were able to log in. It did not happen often, but enough we knew the work around. Its been reported, but hard to replicate so hard to fix.

Is this game crashing everyone else's computer in that game mode? If it is we can specifically blame the game. If its not then that means there are certain variables causing the PC to crash. Need to find out what that is. Laying the responsibility at the devs feet without providing any info won't do anything to resolve the issue. If your intention was not to fix the issue and just rant then carry on. If its not then you are going about this the wrong way.

Are your alts in the company? Have them check to see if your main still shows as part of the company. Do you know where you logged off? Have your alt kill your main. Seen weird issues resolved doing that. Also doing a manual join to the same server you are currently on can help.

I've never played this kind of game before and it took some time. I didn't even leave the Freeport until I was about a week in after launch. I was having fun figuring out how to farm, level, skill up and build a raft with a bed, smithy and storage. I remember how amazed I was at how quickly I could farm fiber using a scythe. I sailed out with my brother on a raft after a week and we were flagged down by a company and started talking to them. We joined that day and the rest is history.

Haha this is true.

But I want to play in live official servers, by myself.

D3D device lost. Check your Event viewer for Video card drivers crashing or related events. Start > PC > Right click manage > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System The logs should be in chronological order. Easiest thing to do is recreate the errors then immediately check the logs. If the driver is crashing it can be a range of causes. Game might need a reinstall. DX screwed up. Drivers or game profiles corrupt. Failing GPU, PSU issue. Start at the simple software related issues first.

Lets create servers for everybody so we all have our own server. No issues then.
