I'm surprised this isn't a post about south sea slavers.

Probably still in the water, only now he's regretting the mutiny since he's stuck in the middle of the ocean.

Shut up and stop making reasonable statements... You're ruining my sales of pitchforks and torches.

I think the diminishing returns on claim flags should be a thing. Claim all you want, but the more you claim, the less protection time you have on that flag. Could even add in making the size of the claim area smaller with each new flag. Eventually, anyone will hit a point where it's just not possible to maintain the timers on the flags and will be forced to stop or the size of the claim would be pointlessly small.

Could solve the people sinking boats by weight by making them only recognize the weight of company/alliance members. Would fix the problem in pve and still allow people to board boats in pvp to kill crew and players during a battle.

That's the first whale I've seen in this game so far.

Anyone know what diminishing returns means? For those who don't, it simply means you get less the more of something you have. So lets apply this concept to claims and the protection time. After maybe 5 flags per company the more you place, the less time you have on the automatic protection. Of course, this involves the protection period being fixed first.

I wouldn't want to see them removed entirely but seriously, they need to knock down the numbers a bit. I built a sloop and was taking it to another area and in 1 server I saw maybe 5 or 6 different Damned ships. They were all fairly close together as well. That's another issue. They seem to spawn in the same areas together like there isn't some kind of check to see if one is within range of the spawner. Come to think of it, that's a solution. If the spawns work like they do on ark. you could just set 4 spawners, 1 in each quadrant of a server, and have each one spawn a Damned ship with a check to see if there is another one in that area before spawning a new one. Hell, you could even add a condition to that check to allow a second one to spawn occasionally. I'd also make it so the ships stay in their quadrant as well. After you fix them, then you can add other dangers to the ocean to keep it deadly, but provide a nice variety of shit to kill people. These boats are just boring and a pain with the way they are. I'd rather lose boats to dragons, mermaids, sirens, or other players than the same thing constantly.

The lawless areas are getting pretty full as well. The lack of areas to claim in the other regions that have resources or aren't harsh environments is pushing people to build in the lawless regions just so they can keep their base safe.

And you folks said that area wasn't that bad...

I haven't been able to find anything online with info about the skill trees and what unlocks what and what is in each. I just want to look through them, find my shiny and run away before coming back and looing for a new shiny when I respec later.

Think they just launched a fix for that, but yeah, pin code containers and don't leave crafting stations in the open or with stuff in them. I had to make a guy kill himself last night because one of my mates left the door open and he tried to run off with all of our stuff that was in the crafting stations. Of course we are on the pve server so we couldn't just kill him and get our stuff back that way. I've also heard we can drag sleeping people and drown them... might not want to sleep in the open now too.

Makes sense. It sucks, but it makes sense. They need to give us a sleeping bag to use as a one time spawn point that can be used on the island. Until you've got enough to make a raft and a bed, dying is very punishing in a bad way.

I cant respawn on 1 bed. I'm guessing the area has been claimed or something. My group is working on getting back there.

All of the above would be my choice but right away it would have to be merfolf. Faster naturL water movement would be awesome and the ability to drink sea water.

Awesome, lost my whole day off waiting to play. No big deal. Got some chores done and was responsible. Wonder if beds will be fixed too.

Totally jealous of you being able to get in.

Simple solution may be to make rafts easier to get so people spread out faster.

Why though? I dont understand why you wouldn't be able to in these areas. It doesn't make sense to me and I'd love to hear more details and thoughts about it.

Was in a trio, now a duo that cant login and apparently beds are broken so I'm stuck really far away from my boat and items.

I understand it's a survival game, but seriously you can remove bodies in town. Probably would help with lag.

I'm bad at titles. I was able to join on sirens call with no problem. I cant login at all to any server on hydras den. Timing out when joining. Hopefully this is useful data.
