That has always been my issue in MMO's with Chinese players. Westerners will form smaller multinational groups and fight one another. I rarely see this from Chinese players. I understand there is a language barrier and even cultural differences in some respects which might be a huge contributor to this, but the simple fact is there are so many Chinese players you have the ability to form very very large groups that overrun everyone else with little hope of survival. Not much fun. Break the Companies up into smaller groups. Fight each other as well as with or against us. I wish this game would cap companies to around 100-200 in size. As it stands now many companies world wide are forced to band together to fight the Chinese otherwise we risk being driven off the game map.

Bump. I am interested to know as well. I have yet to see one, but would be nice to know what to expect when I do.

Yeah last night was pretty brutal. I believe their servers are hitting the wall hardware wise with this code base and the dev team had the day off yesterday. Memory leaks or whatever probably caused the servers to tap out when they desperately needed a restart. I did not see a single server upgrade or Twitter post which lead me to believe this. The server timeouts on join and crashes has drastically been reduced the last week in my opinion. I am very interested in seeing a chart on how they have their server fleet and services deployed. The backbone for these games along with the code running on them makes all the difference in the world to the end user experience.

I agree with making a subform for this. The rest I need more playtime to truly argue for or against any changes.

You have to select a wall and click place or put it in your hotbar and hit that number. When you see the outline of the wall showing where you are trying to place it then hit "T" to change the type of wall. Bottom left corner of your screen shows the options and which option you currently have selected. This game is fairly complex and missing a ton of education material. I am going to try and update the wiki page where I see gaps. It looks like that page is up to us to populate so we all need to pitch in.

Hopefully they set up a market place of some kind in Freeports. Sell excess resources there and it will help build the economy. I assume thats on the to do list. Long way to go before official launch.

Are you asking that they allow you to have more than one character that you can choose from before you join the game? You are not tasking for 2 players to play at the same time, correct? If so this is not an uncommon practice in many MMO's that I have seen. Obviously if you want to both play at the same time you need to purchase another copy of the game.

Recorded video would be good. Hackers can burn in hell.

Also a list of what consumables are best to increase taming rates.

I agree with this view of them. They should be rare. Drop rare items and be more difficult to take down. As to the other argument we have lost a Schooner to a SoTD and have outrun them. Last time we were overweight when an SoTD enaged and was doing some damage. We had no choice but to dump some of our repair cargo and gear that can be replaced. We then gained speed and out-ran the SoTD and saved our primary cargo. I don't mind overloading some, but if a SoTD is keeping up be ready to pull a Han Solo and dump your cargo.

Servers were just rebooted. That was probably what fixed it. Not switching to another server and back again.

Were the ghost ships not attacking rafts back when aggro was turned off? I would think they would set it so the ships would not aggro rafts, but if the raft engaged it would return fire. At that point just disable damage from tools on the Ghost ships.

Put rules in place for lawless zones. Logic does not compute. Lawless areas are like Nullsec in Eve. Except people can spawn there and attempt to build. I think they need to allow higher leveling in Freeports and allow the vendor to build larger ships for people to set out on. Maybe cap it at a Sloop or Schooner to start and see how well that works. Let people be better equipped to move out into the lawless lands. Give them a fighting change.

What if you were given bad info and placed a medium sail on it? Do I have to destroy it?

I am not going to try and guess what they are doing and why. All I know is that server has had issues and I see a couple listed as being upgraded to 6.82 while the rest are 6.7. I know they are trying to get the new code pushed tonight. They might already be aware, but I wanted to post it here incase it was flying under the radar on their end.

L8 has been up and down the last several hours. At this time I cannot join L8 and when I can get in I lose connection quickly.
