Happens to my bears on occasion. Usually happens getting on and off boats for me. Always funny to see!

We use what we are given and get it done. We have solos that farm Hydras for the mythos. Small groups rushing for power stones or FoY are fairly easy. Sometimes it takes a half dozen runs, but rarely more then that unless there are a million people there causing mayhem and extra spawns. I find it easiest with only 2-3 people. EDIT: OH and the biggest thing. If someone just ran it before you try to. Wait. Let all the mobs in the cave despawn. I don't know exact time. We wait like 15-20 minutes. Then we run it naked and by the time I am hitting E to get my power stone the mobs are just starting to spawn in the cave. Immediately jump off the land bridge to pull the mobs down in the pit for anyone else coming in after you. This is key. Always jump down below to pull mobs into the pit to keep it as clear as possible. If I am trying to kill AoD for levels, gold, etc I just find an area that has very few if not any of the mythic mobs. There are traditional gaps in their spawns and roaming that we use. Each island is a bit different obviously. Need to scout it out. From there I can go to the middle of the island quite easily. Just ride a bear for safety as the high level mobs are nasty on foot. Not impossible, but its just safer on bear. Blunderbusses do good damage to all creatures on the island from what I have seen. Range is the biggest drawback of course.

Damnit Chuck. Do not encourage them. I want to punch you right now.

ok then it sounds like this is not working as intended. sorry for stating it again. I was not fully understanding your post so I wanted to make sure. I think Jat should have the dev team look into this. @Jatheish

If you were in render range of those wrecks 5+ days after they were sunk then the feature is not working. The key to this is you have to be in render range of where they were sunk for the icon to be removed. I have an easy one to check. I sunk a sloop playing around with barrel bombs in our harbor. It should be 5+ days now.

PvE or PvP?

I am torn on this. Do we want to make it easier? Isn't it part of the mystique of this place that its a deathtrap? Go there at your own peril and do not expect to come back? I dunno about this one.

Logic 101. Class is in session. Please welcome Professor Boomer.

My level 29 wild bear is now 82. It has 1200hp, 1100 stam and 140 melee which is enough for masterwork maps. I have a bred bear, but I save him for "special" occasions. My wild tamed bears get to go for rides across the Atlas.

They should easily be able to add a brass monkey to ship cannons along with cannonballs on it. Maybe a barrel or two of gunpowder, rammer, etc.

Maybe some day they will hear us. NEED MOAR BOATS AND ACCESSORIES!

You should post this in the Bug section and/or file a support ticket.

Factions......yeah that happens I am out. Dumbest thing I've read all year.

I thought I heard someone mention that salted meat like Ronns0r mentioned and cooked meat can be fed to tames now. Can someone confirm cooked meat works as well?

I fix the rubber banding by stopping movement for 5-10 seconds. Let the client and server synch up. Works every time. Also always whistle from the side while in the water. I swim to the side and face the rudder. Whistle where the rubber and the hull meet. Make sure that behind this is just water. Reduces the likelihood of whistling crew off the boat and when done right is very consistent. When calling the ladder up I don't look at it anymore. It can be very inconsistent. I just hop on the steering wheel and start smacking "L" until it goes up. Our zone is so laggy sometimes I have to hit it 4-5 times before it works, but it always does.

I'd be content if they changed the tornado frequency so that we were lucky to see one a week (real time) if we sailed daily.

My issue is using the words game breaking. Its not. Game breaking means the game cannot be played. The game crashes non-stop. Boats don't sail. XP does not work. Tames/tools cannot farm. That is game breaking. Taking one avenue away when there are others to do the same thing is NOT game breaking. That is waaaahhhhh I like doing it that way and now I have to do it a different way. People complaining that it could have been done differently are absolutely correct. It can be handled differently and there are some good measured responses to that. Saying the game is ruined are just cry babies and get no sympathy from me. Its not helpful and does not improve the game by throwing a tantrum about it.

I like the second option. Army of monkeys tossing feces is hilarious to watch and listen to. On the PTR with 6x I tamed 30 or so monkeys. I had them follow me and I targeted them using T whistles. The best was sending them after flying birds. 30 monkeys tossing poop into the air like anti-aircraft fire and hearing the accompanying shitting sounds was absolutely hilarious. It was also fun watching them kill a high level giraffe without a single monkey dying.

I can see they just didn't think of it OR they used the existing coding to add cargo racks as quickly as possible. Down the road it will get tweaked. I can see either possibility being true.

I want you to read that again. Man you went off on 50 tangents there. You obviously have other issues with the game and you're using one perceived issue as a reason to shit all over the game. My company/alliance did not mind the change. Sure it sucks that it takes longer to level ships up, but we realize the reason behind it. As to doing maps.......I rarely ever saw someone using swivel for this. When I did it was too easy. Bears are easy enough, adding a swivel to the equation made it so easy you might as well not even have AoD and just let us dig.

This Is Atlas

The way I understand it is NPC crew will not repair the boat unless it is anchored outside of a Freeport.

From the patch notes. Has anyone visited multiple shipwrecks 5+ days after they were sunk to confirm if they still existed or not and confirmed if the map icon would update or not?

Trying to image why this would be intended. What exploit could this prevent? How would it make game-play too easy? Is there lore attached to this explaining why AoD are immune to bows? Seems a bit lame to me. I would never use one for AoD, but removing the option completely seems a bit odd.

I will feel like the Raptors beating the Warriors for the NBA championship. It just doesn't feel right.
