It's total garbage and will drive even more players away, unless of course you're in one of the dev's favourite mega tribes.

Great just what the game needs mega's being gm's now, what next.

Do you really think a mega company is going to let you move in and build a city ?. Very unlikely and they'll only want you there to pay taxes and farm free mats for them so they don't have to do it themselves.

Not surprised by the result of this poll so far and would most likely get the same results for pvp servers as well. The dev's just don't get it that no one wants to pay taxes and be a slave to the mega's, bu the problem is they only listen to the mega's for input. Reap what you sow.

A poll like this needs to be done in the PVP forum as well because there are just as many pvp players that don't want to pay tax either. I will be only playing on lawless again after the wipe or not at all because I'm not going to be a slave to the mega's and pay for their island upkeep every time I want to build something.

That's exactly how the mega's will get around never being attacked because once they get the war notification of date and time with a cap of 250 players per alliance they will just alert all members to make sure they log in to the server for that time frame and the enemy attackers will never be able to show a force big enough to attack because they wont be able to log in.

Don't count on it being the 20th March, these dev's have a terrible habit of failing to deliver anything on time.

I agree and think NPC's should only be able to be used on sails and repairs nothing else not even land based weapons, puckles etc. It's supposed to be a pvp game but instead its player versus npc. The devs took them off canon carriages for the same reason.

I also like that idea and it seems like it should be the way to play the game roaming from server to server not just fixed in one land based spot all the time.

They will be all running around madly to claim as many islands as fast as they can and the game will be back to where it was before.

I have a solution and its make every island lawless with no taxes or territory control claim flags. Not everyone wants to be in a mega or be a slave to them.

That will be the intention of everyone and there is not enough land, it all goes around in circles again. New players coming to the game will have the same problems as the first launch and leave the game shortly after.

Only sustainable for mega's taxing the fuck out of everyone.

Hopefully not and I hope they really mix up all the islands and move every node spawn around so everyone starts again on a even keel. It will be a mad rush by all the mega's to land claim as many islands as they can and tax everyone else that isn't part of them. I won't even bother to come back and play again because I won't be paying tax or becoming a slave to a mega.

The claim system is a joke, just make it all lawless one flag per company and a set area radius to build in with a one week decay timer. Simple as that.

I have no faith in the new land claim mechanics other than that too will favour the mega's as they will own every island again from the start and just kick anyone off their island when ever they like and as a small group or solo you can do nothing about it. So I probably won't even bother playing again.

Chinese hackers versus Russian hackers. I'd like to see that.

This is exactly what will happen no doubt about it.

I'm a solo player and hate the mega's, they have destroyed the game. Would rather play in a group of 2-10 in any game no matter how big the game is. Big groups have too many assholes with too many opinions and most leave the work to a few.

I really think NPC's should only be used for sails and repairs and players man canons only, otherwise you might as well just use aimbots like the chinese do. Either cut back on the canons or man them more efficiently. It's not hard for a player to man two canons next to each other.

That's when its called teamwork and how it should of been from the start. Did you ever see a pirate without a crew ?

I think NPC's should only be able to be used on sails and repairs not canons and puckles etc. That takes away from the pvp aspect making the game NPC v player.

Hopefully they fix the collision hit box on them soon, so no one can hide their ships behind them.

I been saying the same thing as launch that the leader board should be base on the amount of gold plundered and amount of ships destroyed.
