    boring , sick of seeing this reply when player post about thatch not everyone has those plants close , so stop with the bear go farm dead leaf patches , 

    I'm sick of seeing people whine about perfectly valid solutions to their problems because they're too damned lazy or too full of self-entitlement.  I built an entire castle... in the tundra... on and island with no fiber and no paste... with nothing but hand tools and a horse.  You want thatch?  Chop chop.

    So yeah, eventually tamed, but lost taming effectiveness.
     

    The biggest problem I see from those images as that you are on the same level as the bear and trying to feed it. If you build ONLY your taming pen on foundations so that the floor of the pen is elevated above the ground, when you X to crawl you will be under their mouth where they can't bite you and you can still feed them.  That works for wolves and lions as well.

    Hello, my friend and I are looking for someone that would be nice enough to give up a piece of land.  I’ve tried the flags that are yellow for anyone to build on.  I built a small base not blocking any resources just for them to change the flag status to red causing my base to decay in a few days.  We’ve spent hours sailing around looking for land just like so many others.  We only need 1flag even if the  land that is hostile. NA-PVE

    Sent you a pm.

    There are moments when I miss the good old days of a level 2 wolf slaughtering my LVL 50 character in two bites, or that same LVL 2 wolf taking well over 6 shots to kill...all six guns loaded and equipped were not enough.

     

    Eh, go to the poles and solo yeti's without a tame. You'll get plenty of flashbacks from that.

    It's a little absurd at this point, certain death everywhere. I'm fine with myself dying repeatedly, but it's not like tames just fall out of the sky it's more like they just raise themselves up to heaven.
     

    Ok, so obviously you weren't around pre-wolf/alpha nerf.  The reason people are laughing at your post is because of how utterly absurd it sounds compared to just a few weeks ago. You were what? Out with TWO bears farming?  Pre-nerf, you would have been called an idiot. Now, we'll just call you a newb.

    So ... are there any open islands to stake a claim to?

    I'm sure there are open plots in the extremely cold arctic islands in the North or South .. you know the ones that are virtually impossible to live on. But I'm not talking about there, I mean land that is temperate or tropical.

    Ah, you mean those nice cushy little tropical islands where they give you free beach towels, sunglasses and umbrella's in your mai tai?  The ones that you expect when you're born with a silver spoon up your ass?  Those islands with a hundred shipyards packed around them to the point you can't land a ship?  Those islands with people jammed so tight together than nothing spawns and you can't piss out your back door without pissing on someone's house?  You mean those islands that are so crowded that you have to tolerate 10 minutes of lag every time you sail into your port because of all the crap scattered along the beach?  Yea, I'm sure you can find one if you look hard enough.

    Yea, you won't wanna live in the tundra. It's not nearly that luxurious.

    P.S. Grab me a robe from the hotel. mkay?

    One thing I have noticed about a lot of people that run into the build limit quickly, they have rope ladders on all 6 masts, at 14 rope ladders each that is 84 ladders, right away, you only need one with ladders.

    Then they try and compartmentalize everything, for each deck you only need a 3 walls a ramp and a door to secure each deck, that is 5 per deck 10 if you do fore and aft ways down. The build limit isnt that bad unless you are trying to RP for no reason, only PVEers RP on their ships. 

    So, I went to this Mercedes dealership looking for a new car.  And the salesman told me that, because of accessory limits that they were having to downgrade the engines to 4 cyl 100hp. And the leather seats are replaced by velvet.  And the satellite stereo, AM... not stereo. Oh and the carpet... rubber welcome mats cut to shape.

    What's the point of investing in a gaudy, massive ship that has all the comforts of a Honda Civic???

    Ok, so I just noticed that on the bug report and feedback forums, you can sort by a bunch of different metrics, such as last update, or last reply (over the right hand column of numbers)

    Not completely perfect, but at least its a way to see the most recent stuff and vote on it, if applicable, without having to skip through 250+ pages

    Right, but other than you, who does that?

    so does anyone know if they actually do punish anyone for this exploitative sort of greifing or is this just an encouraged activity on the PVE server?

    Well from reading that it confirms what I already knew, they couldn't care less whether people grief or not.

    The official list of banned steam ID's for cheating/exploiting.

    http://atlasdedicated.com/pc/banlist.txt

    Yes, they do ban. No, they do not restore items.

    And I'm pretty sure there's another list from BattleEye that's not part of this list.  I've never seen BattleEye put out any official list, just numbers.

    I guess I am.... sorry, I'm still laughing

    I am concerned about OTHERS being able to take items with THEM if they quit the company so that they don't resort to punching trees.  Do I need to parse my words further so that you comprehend? Or should I just spell this out for you in monosyllabic grunts?

     Funny, yours does 🙂

     

    Is that the most intelligent response you can come up with to your communistic views of how companies in this game should work?  Never mind, since it's obvious you are a Marxist/Communist in your views of how companies in this game should work, I should have expected a response that avoided a debate.

    Sounds too much like marriage and you are asking for a prenup... even if there was a way to pass items back to a player if they decide to leave the company, I can see this getting messy more times than not, and having to hear the  sad stories here, and Grapeshot having to deal with complaints and demands to force Companies to return items... you shouldn't be joining a team if you are not committed to playing as a team. If I take the time to tame an animal or build a ship, I must understand that I was able to accomplish that because others harvested mats, prepared food or claimed the land that allowed me to contribute to the Company, not to myself.

    Funny, your name doesn't sound communist...

    The lack of a sense of personal ownership is, what I perceive, to be one of the biggest downsides to the game.  And, as stated previously, it means that when you join a company you essentially own nothing and what you do bring to a company you lose ownership of as well.  One of the things we're doing to try to correct this is to create pin coded player housing where our members can store personal items.  We all have our personal tames and some have their own ships but use of them is based on the honor system. If company ownership is going to be the norm, then tames and ships need to have a way to lock their usage to admins and specific players. The thing I wish we could do now is to is transfer ship ownership should someone desire to leave the company.  Nobody who put effort into growing a company should have to resort to punching trees should they choose to leave.

    I like all that except the part where you can look them up later and see who they are affilitated with at that point. That would still make it so you could not really hide at all. 

    There were 'locator agents' that for a fee, and assuming you'd done enough pve to enable them, could tell you what system a particular player was in.  But the vastness of EVE often made it difficult to physically be in the same sector as that person.  The beauty of this is that players could often create a name for themselves but still hide in the anonymity of a huge galaxy... kinda like a pirate huh? I had people who held grudges against my asshat character for years... kinda like a pirate.
