Extra fun now that you can board all ships again in PvE. 

Since when?

Learn to read potty mouth.... I just told you.... where you see the start of building elements with my name on them THAT IS MY BASE..... get over it.... you say I should build a bigger base.... Why ?.... My base is big enough already....

First off, Douche is derogatory, not dirty (it is allowed on broadcast TV). Second, if your base is big enough why are you spamming? No excuse will make what you are doing acceptable.

because I have an outpost where I have several bears, a couple cows,  and a bull but havent had time to really work the area, so I am not mounting any of them (infact they dont even have saddles). They have been there for well, well over 3 weeks (a SOTD glitch wiped out one of my boats and the other got taken by a whale so I have been busy rebuilding). My teammate has been gone for a month on business and all I have been doing is fast traveling to his base and then back. All is still there. As far as ships, I have a armored schooner we use to attack SOTD that I havent boarded since mid april, yet its still in my harbor. Dunno, I dont touch every animal or sail every boat and never lost anything. I may be wrong, but for me, I have not run into that at all.

@Jatheish @Dollie This sort of thing needs to be confirmed and made clear, just like the fact ships need to be boarded every 3 weeks rather than just rendered. I had no idea animals need to be interacted with I assumed it was the same as ARK, just render them in and the timer resets.

If structures have decay timers visible to the owner then so should tames and ships. Otherwise people are going to continue to lose stuff because they were not made aware of how the mechanic works.

Yeah I dont think you have to interact with em. I have bears, ele's and giraffes that I dont even touch. As soon as I get within distance its all good. 

Did the OP by chance not login to the same server? maybe hes online every day, but if you dont go to the server, the countdown runs. Same with beds. Every 4 days i bed hop to keep em fresh. Been doing that for months without issue.

FYI, I have animals that are in a pen at a base I havent worked on in a long time, but fast travel to the bed every couple days. Fast travel in, fast travel out. Animals are fine.

MC-RANGER.... Guess what..... that ticket WILLIAM was talking about involved me.....  Dev came and talked to me last night..... placing gates/pillars inside WILLIAM’s base is definitely a no no..... I had already removed them from WILLIAM’s base before his visit....

We talked about that..... we also talked about my foundation spam ( that I am turning into slightly more attractive pillars).... he in fact used the term excessive.... after I explained to him that we occupy an area equal to about 3 flags each in the old system I “think” (not wanting to say I know for sure what anyone is thinking) he was more understanding to my cause....

Anyway..... By the end of the conversation I was told not to block access to the beaches, treasure maps, etc..... He also told me that what I have claimed (with foundations ) is acceptable but that it being lawless, I should learn to play nice with others....

what hypocrites like WILLIAM (who uses closed gates to signify his area, blocking people from treasure maps) does not understand is that the area I pillar IS my base....  I just don’t block treasure hunters from completing maps on my base like some of you....   

So, you foundation spammed him. Regardless if you removed them or not, that makes you a douchebag. I sincerely doubt the dev said foundation spamming 3 flags worth of area is acceptable since that in itself is against the TOS. Here is an idea, stop foundation spamming altogether and just build a base. Want it so no one can build around you? Build a bigger base. No matter what you say foundation spamming is a douchebag move and if you had any sense of decency, you would admit you were being a douche with spamming, remove them, and play within the TOS. Countless other players are capable of playing and building without making all the islands look like an Oklahoma trailer park with garbage everywhere, you should be able to as well. You will get no sympathy here for foundation spamming.

FYI, Salty Jack looks to be part of Arklantis company and they are currently spamming  E8 Monkberry Haven... Everyone who sees Arklantis, block and spam the crap out of them like they are doing to everyone else.

You guys are looking at this all wrong.... this isn’t spam you are seeing.... it is the defacto flag system....

until the go back to the old mechanic and limit the number of flags players get, THIS is the workaround.... 

yes a very few people spammed more than they need but that was also true of the old claim system.... fact is that is why they changed it..... because a few people placed thousand flags....

I found a place on lawless and placed stone pillars (less ugly than foundations) in an area equal to the area is 2 of the old claim flags....

i don’t feel this is an unreasonable workaround until the sort their claim system out because the current one does not work or we would not be having this discussion.....

You sir are part of the problem. No, this is not the defacto flag system, you schmucks are exploiting. How about you build a base and live within that space instead of mucking up all the land around you. Leave some space for other people and have some respect. You are the problem with this game and your company is what this WHOLE thread is about.

They do read both And i already Wrote in discord about this behavior. Its annoying but we should Give them Time. The Communication is Getting better already And i personally would Not read the Forum as a dev. Imagine having that Great idea And all u read is how shit u are, kinda kills the Motivation Dont u think?

If this was a full release game, I can see that, but it isnt. Since this game is still " early access and under development" the Devs should be reading their forums DAILY to fix issues with the game. The fact that there is no spawn protection should absolutely be addressed. If the devs dont read their forums, why have them? You cant call it EA without input from those playing it and resolve the issues. There is no reason why a SOTD fleet should be able to spawn and immediately sink a boat. 

Salty, your company is in the wrong here. Foundation spamming to save space is complete bull. It is companies like yours that make this game a mess to play. Build your base, build your shipyards and be happy. No reason to foundation spam an area you MAY develop later. Dirty tactics and dirty gameplay. Douchebaggery like this is why the servers got wiped the last time. Clean your mess up and stop making the game suck for others you selfish bunghole.

Make sure to update your drivers as well. As other suggested verify integrity too.

I dont think the Devs actually read their own website. Seems as if all they troll is Discord.

You arent actually hitting the mouth. There is a sweet spot between front and back legs. You cannot feed from the back side, has to be leg side. It is definitely a pia. Build a pen to tame..6 foundations, some doorways and a few ramps is easiest way..use wheat..using reg veggies dont work well at all. You will get hit and may even die, drop a spawn bed away from trap (so they cant break it). Use armor.

So, I pull my Brig up to a shipwreck. I look around, and there is NOTHING around. I equip my suit, dive down, and by the time I hit bottom, I look up and see my ship getting destroyed. I surfaced to find 2 SOTD Galleon, 3 brig and 3 schooner all literally on top of my boat. Needless to say it got sunk, but WTF is up with the spawning? Shouldn't they NOT spawn on top of boats? lol

As a PLAYER is should also rank up sailing

Does anyone else agree there should be higher XP points given for sailing? I literally spend most of my time sailing and transporting stuff from one side of the map to the other and get no XP for it. last nite for example I traveled from L11 to H7 with a fully loaded Galleon with a cargo rack. Basically dodging SOTD, storms, wind shifts, etc. for 4 hours. Got no XP for it. Personally, if you can dodge a big slow boat like that, there should be ample points for it. Anyone else think that the XP given for sailing is way too low?

Didnt know there was a speed penalty, Tyger is right, useless.

Yeah, I sitched off of PTR and was able to connect. Does this mean its a different server and have to start over?

I cannot connect to the server I have been playing on since the wipe. I can actually ping the server IP address, so its not a connection issue. If I choose connect to new atlas, I cant see any official servers listed, only unofficial. I cannot connect to the server I logged out of last nite. Ive validated my files (which fail but arent seeming to reaquire). Anyone else having this issue?

Have to remove them manually.

Yeah, thankfully the timer ran out and I was able to delete them

 

Why own an Island? Not worth it anymore if you are in a company less than 20 players. We had a claim prewipe and it was awesome. Now since there is no building requirements, We sail around and make small bases on every isle and resource gather all over. Sail from isle to isle. In ways its more fun than having a claim, but having a claim and building trading docks and a nice castle was awesome too. Now our main base is in lawless and its been good (until recent foundation spammers ghetto'ed up the isle).

L11 has crazy amounts of hemp. H5 bonabalt isle has copper, crystals and nitride, and J10 has honey.

Build on pillars to prevent cobras from eating your animals. Since I've did this I haven't lost a single animal to cobras.

Yup, I build on stilts over water. Never had a tame die since. Also has the added benefit of not affecting resources. Only ramps to doors.

Please increase the number of SotD in Golden Age Ruins. It's supposed to be a "dangerous zone" and it's less dangerous than a freeport these days. People shouldnt feel safe in those zones. 

H6 G.A.R has several groups of SOTD. almost impossible to pass there are so many. I have to pass through there to get to metal on H5 and man, there are a crapload of em and they all bunch together. One group had atleast 12 with 4 galleons (including a red one). I barely escaped lol

I had a Company called The Free Masons build a large boatyard Sideways right in front of my base and boat dock, now I cant get to my dock or base with my boat lol..Ridiculous. J11.

So many people call any post they don't like "whining".    

Look, the devs want feedback on the game and on the EA.  The other day some guy posted a really angry rant about his boat destructing near an island.  Everyone guess he drove it full speed into a rock.  Probably that's what happened..maybe it wasn't.  Who knows?  But it's feedback.  The devs may use it or not, they may tuck it away for future reference.  If 35 people post angrily that their boat fell apart on a coastline, maybe the devs will decide so many angry players is not a good thing  and change something.  There's no need to call the guy a whiner and tell him "learn to sail".    There's no need to tell him over and over again it was his own fault, because that doesn't even matter.  The feeback is - this happened to me in your game and it really pissed me off.  Let the devs make of that what they will.

Same thing with wipes.  Everybody has their wipe limit, and it might help the devs to know what those are.  If you're posting on this thread calling people whiners, you just haven't hit your own wipe limit yet.    But people have the right to provide this feedback on the game.

That goes for nearly any opinion somebody has about the game. It's feedback.  It's what players are supposed to be doing, aside from reporting bugs and attempting to have a good time playing the game.  If you disagree with their opinion, you could try giving your reasons for it, instead of posing as the carnie who can guess everyone's age and weight.

 

Well said bro!
