I would imagine next month maybe with the changes to teh claim system.. well depending on how much they actually change it. I think that would probably be a good time for a wipe to test the new claim system from the ground up. No issues at all with wipes during development I expect there to be quite a few over the years.

Not a bad suggestion

Ok maybe I should have said 700 unique heightmaps No man's sky is very different in the way planets are formed with the game engine. I would imagine they use a seed system so when you enter an area to get the seed from the servers and then the client generates the planet on the fly.. but they created their engine from the ground up for this.

There are videos on YouTube actually showing the hacks working. So it's clearly happening. Not saying that everyone who get accused of hacking is of course but it's happening for sure.

My clan has a small base on a different island from our main one that we liked to maintain as a backup and also just enjoy another parts of the world without spending hours and hours sailing. Fast travel allows us to do that and without that we would basically be stuck in our little tile or maybe the ones next to us most days. We all work and can't spend hours every night sailing to other parts of the world.. Games are supposed to be enjoyable not a chore.

Depends really use both quite a bit.. the world is way to big to sail over the other side or the world. Would take to long to do things without having beds. Without beds you would restrict people to tiny bits of the world most of the time and that would be a bad thing.

Can you imagine the size of the client if you had 700 (or whatever the number is) totally unique islands..

Oh no you are going to upset people who want their character to be able to do everything in game at the same time..

@op it's prob best if you don't play early access titles as it sounds like you are wanting to play a complete game without any bugs.

Noticed it as well.. also when I got to the colder regions there was a hell of a lot more whales as well.. Was having to manoeuvre around the bloody things every few minutes when making a new trio to the fountain.

Meh i am fine with that I think the gathering with animals should be slower but of course they can then carry more of the resource than you so it's a trade off. A the moment this is becoming s game about tames.. tames for gathering, tames for combat soon tames will be able to man the guns on your ship..

I would think there will be wipes throughout development..

Nah bad idea world is way to big to lock people down into one or two zones.

Doom Doom it's all over lol

At the moment it adds an awesome buff and that's about it.. But it's still only a very early version of the system and they will be adding more to it.

Main solution is to take the land you want But having a boat to live on could be cool, bug on PvP it would not last long haha

As I stated the Freeport's do need a message to warn the players.. My point was that someone who has been in game from day one should really know and not be surprised when it happens.

That's not being elitist is just surprising people do not read patch notes for a game that is in development.. I mean my guild and others we are allied with talk about the notes as soon as they are published.. we take active interest in how the game is being changed.. it's just part of helping to test a game in development. Oh btw your body stays in Freeport's now As for player counts I expect it stabilise pretty soon every EA title games loses a ton of players in the first few months.. a few exceptions of course but not many.

Sure they may not have started there but I don't believe for one minute that some players have never been there. But either way I 100% agree there needs to be some kind of message when entering the Freeport areas about the ship decay.

What has that got to do with ships decaying in Freeport's ?

It stopped them for a bit but hackers always find ways around things will take a few days for BattleEye to catch on .

Well considering all their patches since launch have been balance and performance patches I am ok with them adding some more content along the way as well.

Don't get me wrong it certainly does need to notify the players when they enter the Freeport.. but if you have been playing since day one then you have no excuse not to know this already..

They need to start reducing the dependence on tames..

Sadly been in game since day one.. BattleEye has seemed to cut down on it.. but hackers always find a way.
