Observe Lifelessgamer's profile pic. Talking to him is equal to that. Don't bother.

I'll just sail around sinking abandoned ships and pop corning everything. The servers will thank me for cleaning things up.

Smaller companies can do that as well. Just need someone willing to sail around dropping hidden beds. I am excited to rebuild my character and work my way up. Should be good times watching everyone bitch and moan about not being able to build everything. Back to beating on trees and stone with fists for a bit.

One phone call and that's taken care of. He knows people.

Yeah it does suck. I've been picking up maps and sailing to them. Equip all and sail around the islands looking for ones close to the shore. I have done a couple now solo with a bear and they pay quite well with 6x so that makes up for it. I guess they wanted to force people to head to power stone islands with the wipe looming. We wouldn't have much reason to go there otherwise.

I just changed my IP. Now what.

Jesus plays Fornite? Why would he do that?

I was under the impression that the spawn in any zone thing was for the Anarchy update. Is that rule carrying over till after the wipe? Was that confirmed? I thought Anarchy rules were independent from the rules for v21.

How fat is your pipe? Run some speed tests and see hat you are getting. Upload is paramount when streaming.

Mo money.

I cannot tell you how many times I started reloading and lost sight of the person(s) I was fighting against due to having to watch that damn mini-game. So annoying.

Allies do murder people usually so I see the connection.

If they admit they know how to do it but won't due to laziness then that's fine with me. I guess my overall point to this topic is people are going to ally if its there or not. Since its an inevitability why not support it to make our lives easier. Sort of related to this subject I can't wait for them to allow us to have more categories. It would be cool to have custom categories and colors so we can set rules of engagement. Example: Red = KoS Orange = Return fire only Yellow = Only treat as hostile in home zone Blue = Ally Pink = NAP Whatever we want to set and define. Would help out. So many companies out there and so many changing names its hard to keep track. I ask nightly if anyone has heard of John Doe's company. Many times its a no never heard of them, but once in a while I am told to sink them ASAP. I think this would help.

Are people really that dumb? Have to admit I am amazed at how simple this all is and its being made to sound super complicated.

I see why that would be. Again its not going to stop anyone. Oh hey guys sorry we cannot help you because the game won't let us set you blue and your NPC's might shoot at us. If thats stopping you thats just being lazy. My allies are my allies. Game rules and features will not stop that. I will find a way to help. Most of our alliance assistance scenarios I hav experienced would be in no way impeded by removing alliances from the game. It would make ZERO difference.

I have never done that nor seen any of our alliance members do that. I'm sure its been done, but its not really needed to have an alliance. Minor detail.

Seems like a useless gesture to me. People are still going to do it with or without feature support. Why bother even talking about it at that point?

The arguments here seem to be under the assumption that if alliances are removed from the game people won't be allies. The content of this game is determined by our decisions. Whether the game has a feature to support that decision or not is irrelevant.

I don't think the devs/support follow the forums all that much. I suggest opening a support ticket. Also if you want to do this i the forums there is a bug section. This is general discussion which tends to be the most active section. Issues like this can easily be overlooked.

Question. Who would you rather communicate with? 1. Person who speaks clearly with a sense of purpose and respect. 2. Person who slings insults and feces mixed in with valid points? Number 2 (pun intended) is what a lot of people choose to do in the forums. I'd ignore it as well. I post here to help some, but mostly its the entertainment value. The conversations happening in regards to Jat and the testers (player base) are not in these forums as its a hell hole in here like most forums across the internet.

Why can't you take sleeping people off the ship? We've tossed them overboard before because we needed the crew slot.

I use them on my build. Large for long range and planking and meds for constant barrages when I get in closer. If you are hitting ships near max range then the captain of that boat isn't worth a crap. Use the wind, time their shots and always remember. The NPC's are firing at where you will be at the end of the cannonballs flight time. Don't be there.

I thought it refunded them? Does it not because I've done that a million times.

Yeah I've made over 1,000 gold and gotten good XP from level 1-3 crap in less than an hour of killing soldiers of the damned. I never toss a map. If its on an island with a bunch more I do it.

Same for me. I saw dinosaurs, tech, etc and was like this looks like a 5 year old's fantasy. Wanted something a bit more realistic. Sure the dragons and army of the damned are fantasy, but they are not a core part of the game. I've personally never seen a dragon in game. That and I've always been fascinated with that era of naval warfare. Master and Commander is one of my favorite movies. I wish they did more like it.
