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.

Well said bro!

Yup.

They changed the claim system for whiners who were too lazy to sail for a claim when the game came out. After waiting a month and not sailing more than 2 tiles in each direction, they spam complained the forums and discord so bad they took away the old system completely and came up with utter crap system rather than just limiting each company to 5 flags. So, those of us who built a ship asap, got out and sailed and searched isle after isle and found a claim, built it up and made great strides lost everything. Pretty much sums it up.

Full emo? Lol, no Ive been gaming too long to give a crap about 1 game. Just in case the Dev actually reads the post, letting them know another wipe will cost them even more players (as if there are many left anyways). You may want to actually read when was posted though because they did NOT eliminate the possibility of a wipe, just stated it is not "planned". Judging by the devs actions so far with the game, something somewhere will go wrong and the deadline will be pushed at least 3 times lol

They wipe again this soon andcthe game is done. I'll delete it and walk away

Congrats on wrecking what could have been a good game. The people applauding you are the very very few that actually got a claim this time. the new claim system is garbage. You should have limited claims to 5 flags and called it a day. The blown deadlines and long wait for the wipe really killed the player base. Holding off NA PVE made it worse. Thanks for being so inept you missed every single deadline you shot for. The reviews of your game are indicative of your work ethic. Good job for blowing a perfectly good game!

Well, I used to but since they completely F'ed the game, I don't bother anymore. This must be a recent change since we did test and it was costing 20%. Thanks for being a douchebag though, every forum needs one and you fit it pretty well.

Dunno, but 3 of us did the same thing in lawless and claimed at 20% tax and there was a 20% loss. We even verified exactly 20% loss with a calculator. This is on PVE EU (since NA wasnt out we started on EU). We also had a base on an unclaimed Isle and once it got claimed at 20% tax, we had a loss (which is why we decided to test it in the first place). This is what made us leave the island and go to a lawless. Its fine, W/E we decided paying gold every day for a claim wasnt worth it anyways, but the whole design of the claim system is complete crap and not very well thought out.

Exactly what we are doing! Being a small company it really is the only way to roll. This is incorrect or the devs screwed up. We tested it and indeed on a claim with a 20% tax, there is a 20% difference when gathering resources.

No, the resource gathering is taxed. So if I were to chop 100 wood, I get 80, land owner gets 20. We checked and there is indeed a difference between lawless and taxed areas.

Because every single claimed land I've seen in PVE EU is 20% tax. Completely ridiculous to live and pay 20% tax. I live in NY and pay 20% tax as it is haha..Thats why NY is the largest exiting population state. Lawless=no tax. If the tax was 5%, maybe 10%..sure. But 20? No effing way. If a isle has good resources, we throw up a quick building with a bed and go on our way. The new claim system is complete garbage. When we stop at an isle with high tax, we farm the special resources and get the essentials at lawless isles instead.

This would be better than what it is now. Smaller companies are all taking up the lawless now since the claim system is complete crap.

We started a base on H5 Euro PVE. We didnt have the membership to claim the isle nor the 244 gold a day to keep it so we planned on just staying. A company came in, claimed it and raised the taxes to 20%. I live in NY and pay that kinda tax already so I know enough to leave before it gets bad. So we are now in lawless. So the exact island we had a small part of pre-wipe that we had a 10% tax rate on that we had our own claim was taken away due to the new crappy claim system is now owned by someone else that is Cuomo'ing us into leaving. The devs ruined their own game. Now we are in lawless, there is no point really in playing and we are most likely fading out of this game. Congrats Grapeshot, your poor planning, poor communication and piss poor game redesign has killed your game before you even got out of EA.

The new claim system makes it literally impossible for small companies to get and keep land. The new system is a complete fail. I went from owning a claim to now living in lawless on a EU server lol. Game is now wearing thin. Time to look for a new game. The Devs ruined their own game before it was ever released.

If I do not go and kill the service for oculus rift, I cannot join the game. I get a black screen and it never loads up. I tried to just unplug the headset, but nope, same issue. I have to actually go into services.mse and kill the service to get it to load. Just an FYI if anyone else has an issue. This does need to be addressed though. This only started with the PTR/1.5 release.

Bottom line the new claim system is pure $HYT. There is absolutely no way for smaller companies (5 or less) to own land. Even if we were lucky enough to get an isle, 244 gold per day for us would mean doing nothing but looking for gold so having an isle at that point is useless. The game is ruined and doomed to fail.

Until it gets claimed and the taxes go up. Then its off to find another isle, all your hard work gone again.

Your'e kdding right? The islands will all be taken up the first day. Those of us who work have absolutely no chance of getting an island since we dont eat, sleep and crap pc gaming (also dont live in moms basement). This claiming system is far worse that what we had.

Yeah, I hosted an Unofficial Ark Server from my house. I may try to host Atlas, but gotta see how it will work. Ark was only one server for the whole map. Atlas is hundreds.

Just an FYI, when I boot up the game, if I have my Oculus Rift plugged in, I get a black screen for my monitor. Even if you are not using your Rift, it will default as the display in game. I had to unplug my headset to play the PTR.

Yeah, its as if the Dev is trying to kill the game lol. I am beside myself on how poorly this EA is being handled.

So what I've noticed in the ptr is now the claim is the whole island rather than some flags. So there will be less claims (more people without their own claims) and the same taxes. All this new system did was screw landowners who had land and made us all slaves to the very few that will get claims. System is by far worse than what we had. Land claims should have been 3 flags per player, maybe 5. This system is crap. Guess it really doesnt matter since there is no na pve server now. Man the dev's completely blew this game.

Yeah, disorganized children lol. In all my years of gaming I have never seen an EA, Alpha or Beta this F'ed up with so little Dev interaction with their own website. Its pretty much anyones guess as to WTF is going on at any given point. Other players have provided more information than the Devs have. Poor planning and management has killed this game before it ever started. What a mess.
