Solo players should stop complaining about playing a mmorpg. If you want a solo pirate game there are multiple out there. FFS your ilk already ruined the mmorpg genre and caused it to die, now you come for the faux mmos.

Actually it was WoW that ruined the mmorpg market, hell one of thier devs even commented on that  very thing. This solo vs group thing has been going on a very long time and devs have learned they need to cater to both sides or they lose revenue. Interaction with other players in these does not equal forced grouping, nor does it mean that all content will be available to solo (the folk that just want to play the game but don't care about the raid content).

Personally I play both ways pending on how i feel I want to play. Generally I like playing in a small tight company here but am not ad versed to joining others to do harder content, sailing around and meeting ppl ect.  Trying to force devs into forced grouping because you believe its the only way mmo's should be played would be silly on thier part and they know it.

mmo= massive multi player not forced grouping.

One of the big problems I am having with the vitamin system is that they decay way too fast. the other is that you Overdose way to quickly.

Vitamins should decay at about 1/10 to 1/100 the rate of hunger. I should have to each a dozen meals be fore i notice I am missing an important vitamin.

Overdosing on a vitamin should be extremely hard as in most cases the body only uses what is needs rejects the rest.

I suggest we eliminate the overdose effects. keep the balanced buff. and reduce the decline rate a lot.

Also Food should decline at a slower rate than thirst. it should take a long time to starve to death.

I'd also add that negitive vits dont make you upchuck repeatadly or die. Otherwise I agree with all this

But that isn't the issue. The ships, property and territory is still in the world and subject to removal by players. my suggestion isn't to save the territory or buildings. but to allow them to save their ships. so when they return they aren't starting from square one.

But it seems i have strayed from the original topic. sorry folks.

Was replying to the op, suggestion forums are > way.

That came off harsher than I ment it. Are ways now to protect belonging in game and thats called friends, mates and company ect.

As Slzer said your character isn't wiped just removed from the server till you log back in, no progress on the character is lost.

So here is the waves it has created.  I have come back to K11 on a PVE server to us raft blockaded.  Then this person proceeds to train tigers and lions to my base and making threats in game to me and my wife and my company.  I have not had ANY interaction with this individual up to now.  Zestay Taco of Dead Men Floating and Allies should be banned.  Bullying, Blackmail, Griefing, and threatening my wife in a game is un-acceptable.  When I asked him to stop he stated that the devs have deemed this as acceptable behavior and when I come to check online the validity of his claims I find this.  Unanswered from Devs and lack of response is giving them permission to act this way.  Guess we move on to a new game.  We will not tolerate this.

Is what they are trying to do is get people to quit. Personally don't understand what they get out of it but they are in every game i've ever played. Your choices are /ignore them, move to private  servers (my choice if you like the game) or quit. Is one of the biggest problems on pve servers these games end up dealing with, and why i would never play on the official servers from this company. (possibly pvp as then you can deal with it, but the way pvp servers go from these devs no thanks)

Punch something to test. There are hand to hand weapons also like brass knuckles.

Nah will be modded out and I have no interest in official anything from these guys.

I see so many posts about "if this doesnt happen, this game is dead!" or "this games dying because of this thing!".... and This is like Deja Vu.  Did you guys not learn when you said the same thing about Ark every update and had a 0 batting average by the end of it? You CANNOT will things to happen just because you say it will.
 

This has been going on way longer than Ark, actually since the dawn of online gaming. "This patch is going to kill the game, you do that it'll kill the game, the game is dying ect. Hell they have been saying that about pretty much every game i've ever played online since 1995 and  it isn't going to change. (Well hell may possibly freeze over but don't hold your breath)

These games in this state use to be invite or sign up only. Now your trying to pick and choose who can post about a game they purchased? Don't get me wrong I know where your coming from but the day developers start saying you can not do this or that after paying money  (exploits ect excluded) is the day I tell that dev to go to (the non freezing place) and never buy anything from them again.

I thought of an interesting analogy that made me laugh.

Gaming has become the number one form of entertainment in the world surpassing movies music and television.

The Chinese hackers have ruined several games I enjoy making them unplayable. Atlas being the latest.

Imagine if this happened before the age of online gaming;

"Your sitting in your home putting in the latest DVD from Blockbuster to enjoy a movie. As soon as the previews end a bunch of Chinese kids bust into your house to break your TV, jump on your couch, kick your cat, do flips off your wall, eat your food, insult your family and yell China #1 and you are never able to finish your movie. The only thing is there is nothing you can do about it. That is essentially what is happening here".

Something should be done! Time to bust out the Cyber Mossberg! Get out of my House!

My dogs would have a good chinese feast if this happened

Not sure of the radius but 3 worked on our galleon, mid deck one at front mast, one middle and one rear.

see my other reply 

 

they will now have split player bases on pvp that will have those groups that can do the fountain of youth content so now have enhanced stats v's the smaller companys that cannot so are now having lower stats , 

 

to add one way without the other is splitting the players even further making the larger companys gain even more of an advantage .. 

 

why players cannot see this is is just being shortsighted or loving the fact they can now gain an even bigger adavntage over small groups ...

Have read this whole thread or I wouldn't of replyed to it. I still dont see a problem with this. If I want that buff I'll find other small groups and hook up with them and run it.

getting to fountain of youj sholdnt be raid content anyway , lots of players play solo and they also need to be factored in when designing games . 

 

solo players make up a massive percentage of any player base , 

Spose we can disagree and again I generally play these mmos solo or small group. You have options to being able to run it even solo/small group and larger groups need raid content and there are alternitives to make it so you can continue. I personally don't see the problem here.

Nothing stoping you from making friends and running it, not to mention this is EA and content will be getting added as they have it ready. Want the full exp you'll need to wait for release.

You'll get use to it I can't think of one patch these guys timed right.

Tell her she now has to always have spare planks on her when she sails with you lol.

Generally speaking, the purpose of raid content in other mmo's is to give you access to things you can't acquire elsewhere.  The age debuff is punishment for not doing raid content.  I should be able to choose to do it or not and not suffer penalties if I don't.

You seem to be forgetting that us players are going to be able to breed, die at 100 and take over one of our children down the road also. I personally don't see a problem with this myself as I'll either find friends to run it or die and be reborn.

And, if everything else these dev's do is an example of what this is going to be. it'll be pointless for solos to even go there.  Hell, we get slaughtered walking out our front door, nevermind actually engaging in any content.

I generally play solo/small group in these and most other mmos ive played. Never expected to be able to do raid content unless i made friends to join now and then. Not sure why you would expect raid content to be doable.

So... in a game that cant handle more than a few players in one spot.. you decided to make sure they all have to be at the same spot at the same time. And that timing is brilliant with the average player already being above or close to 90. Not to mention that we all reached 90+ in under a month, so we will have to do that a lot...

Are you actively trying to kill this game off? Just say so, saves us all some time.

This will be a non issue as ppl wont age as fast as others. Groups wont be doing it repeatadly so there will be time for all that want to do it. The first run may get interesting thou lol

Devs must be doing something right when the player base starts bitching about buffs.

While I agree the current taming system is animal abuse. There is a difference in breeding and taming yeah know?

Could also be the mouse. Dirt the contacts going bad ect. Have had it happen now and then with the type of mice I use.

Another note to this, I use 3rd person normally but when climbing ladders i switch to first person.

I personaly just "drift" straight at the ladder when i get close and try to time the E push. With a bit of pratice you get better at it.  It could use a bit of adjustment on the devs end as im not sure there is anything we can set to help (yet are mods coming)

Yes and glad I did buy it, imo the games doing fine and im liking (thou not always agreeing with) the changes and work thier putting into it. Honestly got pretty much what I expected if not a bit more from these devs thus far.
