    I don't agree. That's too few claims. Why should a ten person company be restricted to the same number of claims as a solo player? And that is definitely not enough claims for a 40 person company spread across three islands.

    Only the land rush needs to be fixed, the first 5-7 days in a server. The ability to contest claims in abandoned land takes care of the rest, if players can be patient through the three day wait. Spamming claims died down naturally once an actual base gets started on.

    That's provably wrong. There are companies that are taking over entire servers and now with the claim bug they're spamming even more to steal what they don't already have. These companies will never stop taking land just so they rule the island or server if the claims aren't limited. I'm sitting in my hut unable to explore or build because if I leave on my sloop, I get blocked by ghost ships while also having to port back to my claim to stop the next lemming trying to drop a flag on a claim I was just running around today.  I don't care how big a company is, they don't get an entire server to themselves nor are they entitled to grief players that dare to find a spot before they did. These are people that can't hack actual PvP so they find ways to ruin the game for others rather than play PvE.

    PvE is unplayable as it is. No one is going to wait around for 3 days on a raft for a chance that these land hoarders forgot to work their land so you can steal it. Contestable land doesn't show up on the map so it would take even more time to see if it can be taken. Every island is taken. Fix this today so we can progress past this shitty raft mechanic. Your servers may be able to handle 40k (at some point) but there will be nothing they can do but crawl around on the map looking for a place to progress. No building, no new companies, and a lot of screaming players that just spent 12 hours looking for a place to build the 2nd boat.

     

    There is no way to address this without removing the claims. The claim decay is PR for the thousands that are finally able to log in only to find that they can't play the game. A crew of 5 can easily control an entire island's claims. That means you are providing a server intended for hundreds being used by a handful of people.

    This is game breaking. All the land is claimed and the only way to stop people from taking up an entire island is to limit the claims available to the company. The 3 day timer will not clear out all the land that was taken and all they have to do is hop beds to keep it tied up indefinitely.

     

    Y'all spent Christmas working on the server issues which is appreciated but if this isn't addressed it would have been for nothing. You've just given a handful of players complete control of the playable area and the rest of us are wandering around on rafts being told to get lost every time we try to find a spot. 

    I know there's a bunch of these threads but this needs to be addressed ASAP since you set the raft decay so low. We can't log out for more than a few hours without losing everything and we have to carry everything with us. I haven't bothered with the food mechanic and just die over and over. Why bother with it when I'm just floating in the ocean for hours on end?

    I'm still looking for unclaimed land which is another problem but I just logged out for about 45 minutes and my raft took 1k of damage sitting 50' from shore. I get the mechanic but this is unsustainable. I'll lose all resources and have to start from scratch  if I log out for a full day. And if the solution is a land claim and there's no land them everyone is stuck grouondhog daying building a raft and punching trees.
