Friend of mine hasn’t played since the 3rd day. At 80 or so water and 95 food. If they can die from not eating or drinking it will be months.

Dont know about that, I personally have died several times when I logged out with less than half food/water before. I make it a point to dump my gear before logging off. No, I was not being attacked by animals. My sleeping quarters is a stone room within a stone room within another stone room (learned this from Conan Exiles lol) and nothing broke in.

Again, if any of you are waiting to steal someones claim, your praying for a unicorn. Get out and find your own land, quit being lazy. It may take some time, but there is claimable land.

Can 100% verify there is claimable land or at minimum people who are willing to give you a plot or too inland that isn't on valuable resources.  You just have to look and talk with people.  I've found people in tropic/temperate/tundra all either willing to sell land or flat out give someone a plot with the only requirement that they are a good neighbor.

Yes, 100% without a doubt in PVE NA there is claimable land. I found not one, two, or even 3, I found 4 claimable places on 4 different Isles in my travels. Resources on a claimed piece of land is irrelevant. If you find a piece of land with limited resources, well, you have a boat lol. Where I am settled now has limited resources but its in a good place so its worth transporting the resources. Also, no, I do not mind paying the tax to my nieghbors.

Just make all land lawless... its so stupid that you can claim the lands.  with the locking system etc implemented there is no need for having the flag claim system anymore. 

Guess you never played Ark. The claim system is there for a reason. So everyone regardless of company size can have an opportunity to have land. Ark had no claim system and it was pretty common to build a structure, have some larger company come in, destroy all your stuff, wipe out your tames and take you land. With the claim system, smaller companies like ours can build without fear of someone ganking our shit while we sleep.

No, it is not a bug. It is designed so active players cannot be screwed out of their land. Yes, sleepers can die (I have) if they run out of food and water. If you are building next to a claimed land hoping that the owner doesnt play anymore, you are hoping for a purple unicorn. Give up taking someones existing land, get on a boat and go find land. Regardless of what you hear, there is claimable land.

u need some lessons in manners,  

how many languages do u speak ? how well were u taught if u do ,op is a t least trying to communicate the best way he can either google translate or in the best english he knows , 

a lot of players across the world learn english on their own and do a damn good job of it , his post makes perfect sense even though native english isnt his main language ..

 

grow up no need to insult people .or do u get off on trying to make players look small so u can feel all big and mighty on the anonymous internet ....

 

back on topic , the devs i believe on stream hinted at over hauling the whole claim system , how they would implement changes without a wipe i dont know

 

a lot of players myeslf included have a few flags not hundreds but enough to protect the metal spawns and areas of weed etc , if i didnt i can only imagine that there would have been building all over the place effectivly wiping out the resources for everyone , 

 

pillars or flags they are both as bad each other flags claims are the lesser of 2 evils ,troller paradise whichever way you look at it ..

Manners have nothing to do with the fact that I cannot understand the point he was trying to convey. The OP was difficult to understand so asking for clarification is not rude. Now about them overhauling the game. Not gonna happen. Too many companies have too many hours in for a reboot. Want different rules? Host your own server.

"Is only a guess, so for me everyone is allowed to build and is welcome, as long as the bones are adapted to the ratio .. I only have 2 clams more I do not need .." If you can tell me WTF this means, I would appreciate it. Bones adapted to the ratio? Again, I wasn't being rude, I was asking to reword. I realize stuff gets mixed up in translation, which I was pointing out for him to fix so the rest of us can help.

What I do not understand is why at PVE, we can not attack, fight, fight for other land, and also not defend !!!

PVE is a very relaxed game mode for those who like to settles and build for themselves

At PVP I would understand it, there it goes thing .. I must be afraid that another day a ship or my country is gone ..

But at PVE? It seems to me as if some did not have the courage to thaw on the PVP server and full of fear rather on the PVE server against and pointless whole islands seizure close ...

Is only a guess, so for me everyone is allowed to build and is welcome, as long as the bones are adapted to the ratio .. I only have 2 clams more I do not need ..

Can you please edit this into English in a way that the rest of us can figure out what you are trying to say? 

Bogus poll. Where are the "change nothing" options? Creating a poll with only choices that YOU want to see is nothing more than a poll for whining babies. I have no issues with 1 person, 1 claim, but I have no issue with people putting down foundations in lawless to keep their landing spots for resources.

TLK Bones is right. Sounds like a bunch of whining mellinnials who didnt get their participation trophy. Go play the game like the rest of us and you wont be so far behind ya bunch of complaining little girls. Sure, if a creature is too OP, a weapon is too weak, glitches, etc. That is what forums are for, to fix broken parts of the game. Bitching about not finding claim land within one hour at rank 3 is not. Be like the adults who play this game. STFU and go find your own land and quit hating on those who did.

Great post thanks!! Ive been using another boat to bump it out of being stuck lol..ill try this for sure!

So you fellas want to punish those of us who actually searched for land, claimed it and maintained it while you were too lazy to search? Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes from a bunch of millennials to me. Quit whining, get on your boat, and go find your own land. Its out there, quit expecting everyone to hand you everything. Work for it. 

If you do and someone comes on your land and takes your resources, you too will expect compensation. Thats how this works. The land owner isn't getting 30% for nothing, he/she is getting it for putting in the time and effort to find the land.

Edit: I thought I should add that we do not currently tax anyone yet. Yet being the key word. When I rank up enough to get the bank, be sure its going in!

This has got to be the worst change ever made.  Have you guys not played this game?  Sometimes you want to be on a boat to see how they designed it.  Sometimes you need to see who owns it.  Sometimes you slip and fall on a boat.  If the game tossed you back off that would be one thing but to have yourself stuck floating and the only way off the boat is to kill yourself --- utterly dumb!  I've lost all my things because I jumped on this person's boat and all to see who parked their boat between our docks.

If you want to fix an exploit, challenge yourself a bit more and find a way to do it that doesn't involve punishing other players.

Want to avoid this? Simple. Stay the EFF off other peoples boats. After the weight sinking thing, Im happy scrubs that hop on my boat that I built using my time will will have to kill themselves to play. Teaches a valuable lesson. Keep your hands off other people stuff. 

I have never had this happen to me. You know why? I stay off other peoples property. 

There is claimable land in NA PVE for sure. Stop thinking youre gonna sail for an hour and find something. I sailed around to many islands and found 4 different spots that I was able to claim (from south central to north east.

 Once you find one, build a safehouse and sleep in it so no one can take your land. Land is out there for those adventurous types that are willing to look. I actually have a small base on a lawless isle with a shipyard two servers south of me that I frequent as well. It is there, just go find it!

considering land claims are just a matter of who get's there first or who happens to find a claim to steal at the right time it just doesn't make much sense to have this mechanism on PvE.

There are land claims available for sure. If you think sailing to one or two islands youre gonna find one, keep dreaming. That being said,  I have found 4 places so far to claim (settled on my favorite). There is land out there, you just have to learn to sail and have patience. may take you a couple of weeks (like it did me) but you will find land. As far as taxation? I have no issues with it. If someone is going to wipe out my resources, I expect compensation and have no issues paying my neighbor his 30% to harvest his.

Without having to read through the mountains of posts, I will say there are claimable land in PVE NA, you just have to look. Sailing around for a couple of hours and complaining about no land is a cop out. Actually Sail around for some time and check every Island. I see the same complaint all the time, and giggle since I've found not one, not two, not three, but 4 different places to claim land (I settled on a great spot last week). I found them down in the south central and south west. There is absolutely claimable land, you just have to search for it. FYI, you can spend weeks searching (which many do), so dont lose hope, just be patient! Also, FYI, there is a big difference between THERE, THEIR, and THEY'RE. Grammar police out!

nice!

put a couple swivel cannons on your sloop and have people just bring aggro to you and clear the beach.  Then get on the beach and build a stone box or platform from which to shoot and be safe.  Go from there.

Yeah, I am not that high of a level. Sure, I bet its not bad at all when youre level 50, but 20 sucks lol. 

They are making the game more balanced though, Gators were slowed down a bit which helps. Wolves and snakes are next hopefully!

Yeah wolves are seriously OP and aggro way too far out. Atlas is nothing more than a dying simulator. Wolves are way too fast. Cant outrun em, cant see em till its too late. Between the 4 million gators on each isle to the 16 million wolves in the desert (which dont actually have wolves IRL), and the 55billion snakes per foot, this is not a survival game but a practice dying game. I say this as a avid Ark player.

There are real problems and your complaint is that your pc wouldnt let you play for days on end?  I played day 1 it was terrible but doable by day two it was fine except freeport, and 3 all good everywhere on NA servers.

In the OP defense, the first week of the game for many if not most players was completely unplayable. Not because of computer issues, but server issues. I spawned on day 1 at a free port (I or M5 I believe) and 20 min after launch the server went down and stayed down for 4 days. so day 1-4 I had a character locked in an offline server. The first hour in this game is crucial! It will be a great game once they get it balanced and fair.

To the OP, I too switched from PVP to PVE and sailed for the last couple of weeks trying to find land. I found not one, but two spots. Sure, you have to contest someones claim, but it only takes 1/2 to 1 hour. I have done this twice. Now I have land, but I cant survive long enough because there are way too many crocks, snakes and wolves and they are seriously Overpowered. Crocks are faster than the boats haha!

If you do decide to play PVE, we have a small group of clanmates who are playing this. We have a little corner of an Isle. You are welcome to join up with us and play any time. Our discord channel is under MGC .  Remember, there is strength in numbers! We are currently on NA PVE. I am generally on around 6 or 7 EST.

Thanks! I will try that if I can even build my base lol. As I said, 3 days in and I was able to make 2 wood foundations, a bed and a storage box. I had a gator babysitting my sloop for over an hour and every time I spawned, he would attack my sloop and kill me. eventually I walked away for 2 hours and was able to move my boat away from them, but I know im in for the same mess tonite! 

I have traveled to roughly 20 different islands to the same result. Over saturated gators and wolves everywhere. The gators attack you in the water and are faster than the boats so they just keep killing us when we spawn on the sloop. Over and over. I died over 30 times last night because of it. Once you hit land, the Wolves are so OP that you are dead instantly. They outrun you too so you cannot run or hide.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with them? We found a claim spot, but in 3 days I can barely touch land or stay alive long enough on the boat to do anything. There are at minimum 15 gators within attacking distance. Even if we kill some, more spawn in. Never ending cycle of death lol. I am hoping the patch that helps the bow from breaking after a couple hours helps, but man it seems as if the game is soley based on gators, wolves and giant snakes. 

If anyone has any tips to help me out, I would really appreciate your input!

Hey Peggy, just FYI, hosting a unofficial server is only one region, not the entire map. The OP is correct that the huge guilds are killing the game, look at the twitch streams! Dropped like a rock in the ocean! I stopped playing PVP until they do something about it. I couldnt even touch land without being wiped out.

You guys found claimable land? In the US PVE, I cant find one spot!

Until they put a limit on company size and how much real estate a company can claim, the server is completely done. If you want to play this game you have two choices, stay in freeport and never rank up and play a berry eating simulator or sell your character to slavery and be a slave for one of the very very few companies that own land. Between the Chinese players taking over half the islands and these larger companies swallowing up all the little companies, there are no resources, no land, no building, hell you wont even be able to hit a shore line without being wiped out. We sailed around for 6 hours yesterday through 8 different regions and were told the same exact thing "nope, no land here. join us or leave." 

In one week, this game is finished. Thats pretty damn scary.
