Retarded Bird

I actually have to agree with the OP - Granted I havent read his entire post but I did see him complaining(and rightfully so) about content behind locked behind having to kill the kraken and whatever else. Locking content/items behind a wall that most if not all small companies can't complete kills the update for some. I know for myself and the 2 buddies I played with had zero chance of killing the Kraken much less killing the bosses on the islands for the keystones. They release the submarine but guess what? You gotta kill the Kraken to unlock it. I mean really? That is just straight bad decision making. Hey lets release new content but you cannot access it! That is not good. It's not crying, or what not, hell call it crying if you want but it is 100% bad on their part to block content or crafting items or whatever behind having to kill the toughest monster in the game that requires many ships and people to accomplish. Will they potentially change it? Who knows, only they know. I just have to agree with his sentiment with locking things behind having to kill the toughest creature in the game and for some small companies like ours, we simply cannot do it.

Very VERY stupid blocking the submarine by being forced to kill the Kraken. That has to be one of the dumbest blocks I've seen in a game. Devs, change this please. One of the sole purposes of this massive update is a new underwater exploration but you won't be able to explore this new area until you get the submarine which further emphasizes you having to kill the Kraken. For smaller clans(2-3 people) this is impossible. In other words, this part of the update is completely negated to smaller sized clans. Good job

I appreciate all the effort being put into updates but me and my buddies who play are concerned about PvE stuff. For starters, there ain't a whole lot to do. Once you build, once you tame and have what you need, there really isn't a whole lot to go and do thats meaningful. You can fight ships and acquire blueprints but after awhile that becomes rather boring and lackluster at best to do. In terms of content on islands to do there really isnt much to do. On islands its all just animals that you can destroy quick with no rewards other than meat and resources. No cave systems, no dungeon style stuff, just animals and resources. You go to power stone islands you encounter monsters that are damn near impossible right now(Fire elementals, rock elementals) and also encounter higher level animals which can be taken out but don't offer much in terms of rewards. The massive structures on the power stone islands are just visual fodder(they do look awesome) and don't offer anything all that fun other than looking at them. Are these going to be some sort of dungeon content allowing us to go into them and kill stuff for rewards or items? The PvE content is lackluster and desperately needs more things to do, more things to acquire because if you're not on a PvP server there simply isn't much content. Blueprints are great an all but bring in actual dropped ITEMS instead of blueprints. Add stuff to islands that make going to islands fun and thrilling other than just oh this has this animal on it and this resource on it. There's no desire or want to explore islands because aside from animals and resources, there isn't much to do on them. You have 918239813 islands but they're all the same basically with just animals and resources. No "hey lets go to this island to go to this cave or dungeon for these items". Islands should be unique, should have unique stuff to acquire(thats not resources or animals), unique monsters on them. PvE content currently is 1 of 2 things. Its either way too easy or way too difficult. Easy in the sense that theres only animals on islands that you can kill with either firearms, bows, or tamed creatures and than the too hard part is power stone islands. Monsters or at least the big ones like elementals or cyclops are too difficult(unless you kill cyclops with balista) and unkillable like the elementals. You guys put the underwater trenches in power stone island servers and if you're writeup is accurate, the monsters down below will be equivocally difficult as on power stone lslands which isn't good unless you add good rewards to it because other than exploring it, there's no point in going down. Overall there needs to be more unique things to see, do, and acquire. Adding new islands are fine and dandy but there needs to be things to do, see and acquire on them that are NOT resources and animals because the other 700 or so islands you guys have are replicas of each other with just resources and animals on them. Adding new biomes is great and look forward to it but again there needs to be more things to do and acquire. Make going to areas not only about exploration but worth the time. I spent countless hours driving my boat around the world only to realize that damn near all the islands are exactly the same with absolutely no reason to go to them other than for resources. Pretty big waste of time actually.

Looking for high level Tiger tames and high level Giraffes. Let me know if anyone has some. Paying in gold. Our base is currently in K6 but willing to travel...some.

Not sure.... Every other steam game I've hopped into since NA PvE crashed has been perfectly fine so... not so sure it's steam.

Pretty shitty man. Not going to be good losing a Galleon with 4 high tames, lots of gold, mythical blueprints and legendaries. Ultimate kick to the balls

Beautiful time for the server to crash.... Sailing on our Galleon with tons of gold, legendary blueprints, a couple mythicals, 4 of our highest tamed animals after sailing half way across the world and a storm pops going in and out of tornadoes followed by Ships of the damned only the experience the server crash. Now we cannot log in. Anyone else unable to get back in the NA PvE server?

On H6 currently, what do I even look for? Keep getting obliterated by these Elementals. I don't see any particle effects anywhere.

We've lost Bears, Wolves, Elephants, Rhinos, all of them to basically nothing, just POOF, gone. Love it. It's EA but man is it frustrating as hell losing shit you spent time acquiring only for it to just disappear with a fart. The BEST one by far is watching our Elephants float off into the sky without being able to get them back(Yes, even tried whistling, etc, still nothing) and one of our bears. They believe they can fly!

Simple - Make it so that there's a countdown timer whether you have land or not, similar to how it's done right now in Lawless zones. 4 day countdown timer if you do not log on it decays. Extend the time from 4 days to what... 10-15 days? These fuckers have been gone for over 3 weeks just snoring in their little shack blocking our entire ability to build and it's frustrating as shit.

This needs to be addressed and soon. A crew of 2 players has a 2 pieces of land blocking my companies ability to build any further and we cannot do anything about it. It's been over 3 weeks they've just been sitting there sleeping fucking us over. This is very annoying and frustrating to say the least and I don't understand why a system hasn't been put in place to counter this shit. 3 weeks they haven't logged in and we're stuck dealing with it blocking our ability to do anything.

Been researching online for the ship that has potentially the quickest speed and I keep reading about sloops and schooners. Of the two has anyone confirmed which is actually quicker and with what sail setup? I wan't to make a boat or boats that are setup for scouting and quick exploring. Was thinking Schooner with 1 large speed sail and 1 medium or small handling(depending on the weight, cant remember the max setup for schooner) or 1 more speed sail. Any thoughts on this?

NA PvE - Any confirmed sightings for the FoY?

It's not that simple dude. Common sense would tell you to do the same thing but that doesn't fix the issue. I've tried all different settings for sky and its still black... I think something with 10.0 fucked up the client for some people and this is the result. Black skys, jacked up graphics. Look at my picture above ^^^^

Im now encountering the same thing. Black sky, graphics overall jacked up. When sailing out to sea, islands now look all blocky and ugly as shit when sailing by them. This just started happening as of yesterday(10.0). Not sure what to do. And yes, my sky is turned on and is maxed out
