Also, i found an island that seemingly had a huge amount of tigers/lions on it, however when i clear those, it takes some hours for them to respawn.

Feels like it doesnt matter if i kill everything else on that island, i just chill for 1-2hours and clear them again.

Cant remember it being that bad, did they add some sort of cooldown? (Not sure if i'm just biased but it also feels like they spawn more often than not under lvl 10?)

Not sure if im going crazy

I also noticed this.

Trying to get a decent tiger takes forever now, they spawn so rare.

Yea i think i wont be playing when the new big update hits, the claim flags were one of the reason i was intrigued to play atlas.

Not trying to bitch or anything, but i know this game wont be my cup of tea anymore.

That sounds reasonable to me. That or X will login before Y and Z reach an agreement. Therefore I'd say Y and Z should try to negotiate with each other. Because it's an MMO.

Well imo it should be whoever can afford to stay alive and ingame for the longest time, but that would also favor bigger companies.

It makes more sense in my head now that i think about it, but i still dislike it

So update on this

The patch will be rolling out probably later this week, maybe Thursday or Friday as we need a bit of time to prepare and test the system. As for the crew thing, it's always been the case and operates like that in the live game, it won't be a new change. Just wanted to let people know that would be an option in the event that they'll need to spend some time away from the game, if they keep their crew paid + fed, they can help keep their claim.

 

And why can i just park my npc crew at someone elses claim, and be sure that noone gets it? idk, is this really intended this way?

So if X has land without upkeep, and Y and Z want it both, both can just park their crew at X's claim, and the one who has more gold/food will get it, right?

Cant imagine this is how it should work, maybe i'm just dumb as fuck though lol

Players can still use Crew (which are to be fed and paid) to contest claims.

Which is dumb.. Why can random! npc crew contest claims?

I could just place npcs all over the island and no one can get shit or what? Wtf?

Just thought it'd be kinda cool if the company owner could set up a "map table" or something, and everyone in the company can interact with it and share their maps.

It should be distinguishable from own discoveries and company discoveries though

Yea, please revert it.

Lets hope they change their minds on this, especially with the 2x event coming up (Why is this not in the patch notes anyway?)

No, I mean it's vulnerable while sitting in the yard, being built.  It sinks the ship AND the shipyard where you were building it.

I know It should not be this way, the devs need to fix this, especially the shipyard needs to be a safe haven.

Pretty sure I saw a video where somebody posted it works while the ship is in the yard, AND it destroys the yard

yea thats what i meant, even if its only safe while being built, that would be a start.

then i could atleast built my ships, just not release it.

Crude Oil is also on N10 on baswin enclave.

They need to do SOMETHING asap.

Even if it's just not sinkable in shipyards, i'm too scared to build my galleone now as i would probably never touch this game again if its gone because of some douchebag.

But i bet it takes 2 weeks for them to do anything about it.

Competitive games are never friendly to casual and semi-casual players. 

I recommend playing on a companies claim that allows building. 

Nah, I got it after around 10 hours. In PVE it is literally deciding who gets a claim and who doesn't by who lets the game run in the background.

10 hours sitting at the same spot isnt even playing the game, its literally just sitting around hoping no one comes through, which is imo a pretty bad mechanic.

And honestly, whoever builds in another companies area is pretty naive. They can just say "fuck you" and demolish your shit.

Same! I just claimed a sloop which i can't really interact with, but the name is green.

What am i supposed to do with it now?

Please let us rebind the key for the alliance/company chat.

You can change the Local chat key, so why not alliance/company chat?

How am i supposed to claim when the declaiming timer is 6 hours, and i cant keep randoms from walking through?

Seriously, this mechanic is so stupid, semi casuals now have no chance at getting land.

Can i atleast walk out of it, or do i need do stay in there? Can i die or does it reset then? Does anyone have some tips?

Sleepers should NOT keep your claim safe indefinitely, you need to change that ASAP.

Right now, its a hell to find a place to claim, even when the owners weren't active for a long time.

If people want to be safe "forever" they need to go to a private server.

Yup can confirm, went from O10 to A10

 Definitely right in my case, my schooner wasnt used once.

Now i build a Sloop, which i'll probably not use either.

I really want to sail though, but i don't want to loose it in 20min or so

I'm honestly hoping they wont ignor us this time.

Damned ships should be rare.

And i wouldn't mind a wipe tbh

I agree, its stupid.

I literally lost everything i had when i logged in...

The skill changes are also stupid

BTW, if you cant download from google drive, add it to your drive and make a copy from it, that way you can always download stuff.

Just change "drive.google.com/uc?id" to "drive.google.com/open?id"

Indeed, it would also make many people happy
