    Lawless zones the wildlife are far less aggressive, have a much shorter aggro range so you can get close, lawless zones in the tropics are easy mode. 

     

    Build there, stay there, 12 hours after arriving you can have a 10 cannon schooner ready to go as a single player. Provided you know where to find salt 🙂

    Let's not have anything dangerous in the game, let's remove all the tension and anxiety and sense of loss. Let's make gaming a boring challengeless experience. 

    I sailed for 5 hours on a raft to bring salt back for my company, I dodged storms ships of the dead and I was destroyed in sight of my goal. 

    The next morning I woke up and went back and did it all over again and made it safely into port with 1500 salt on board. 

    That sense of achievement was worth it.

    Needless to say whales on land or water too shallow to hold them needs to be fixed. 

    You are of course fully entitled to argue for the kind of game you want, I respect that. I don't respect easy mode gamers.

    I would guess part of the problem stems from design vision. 

    Imagine you are the developer you want to make a pirate game. When it launches everyone uses bows and arrows instead of flintlock because the bows and arrows are more effective. Your solution is of course to reduce the effectiveness of bows and arrows. 

     

    They have however gone a bit too far with the bows and arrow adjustments mainly in the area of durability. 

     

    The changes have modified my play style though I have a bow and arrow as usual but now also carry two pistols as well.

    As the older generation of gamers who grew up on diablo 2, everquest, classic wow, all grow older and the younger generation take the market place this has become the norm.  The we want everything NOW and with NO RISK and NO EFFORT  GIMMIEGIMMIE, this is TOOOOO HARRRD LOWLUZOR #something something salty tears  OMGAU?L where iz my skinSS!

    As the oldest generation of gamers, we who had to copy type the code for the game line by line from printed magazines or load the games from tape adjusting the head alignment on the tape deck with a small screwdriver and patches were something our mothers sewed onto our genes to cover the holes, we are smiling indulgently at you right now with your salty wisdom

    No about people being too sensitive, taking everything seriously and starting up community groups for ever flaw society has to offer. It’s just a game, this is a game mechanic. Like I said, it’s not like there are people out here trying to have sex with young girls. It’s a mechanic they wanted to have fun with. In my company we’ve already locked up our own members and trolled with it. 

     

    If he wants to go to the police with this, be my guest. But I’m pretty sure he won’t come far. 

    Locking up someones character - I couldn't care less about

     

    I have two daughters I take the sexual extortion of minors over the Internet very seriously as do the laws in most civilised countries. What they are doing is not "a bit of fun" 

     

    The "we were fooling around" defence has been tried by many sexual criminals

     

    What they are doing is actually illegal and I would urge once again the op to record what they are doing and inform his or her parents followed by the police. Its up to them to decide if a crime has been committed but we as a community should not condone or minimize this type of behaviour. 

     

    To do so shows a lack of understanding for the broader consequences and impact of such behaviour. I have nothing further to add.

    There’s a whole debate going on in my country about people like you. As far as it goes, it’s part of the game. Just a simple E in the wheel and it’s done. It’s not like there’s anything horrible going on. We’ve done something similar too with a company mate. 

    A whole debate about being a responsible adult when it comes to sexual crime... Sounds like an odd debate but then the Swedish government had a debate over whether or not to forbid sex with animals so I'm not surprised. 

     

    "it's not like there is anything horrible going on"

     

    someone is apparently blackmailing a minor for sexual gratification, how can you not think that's horrible...

    There is nothing you can do about that. It is a game mechanic that is purposefully put there. People were caged for over a mo th in ark. You will stay there until they decide to let you go.

    good to see the cage people have arisen though 👍

    on a side not as far as getting them banned for their behavior you literally have to have screenshots(multiple) and audio to be able to even do anything in the first place. You have to have irrefutable proof. Even then it won’t be a ban they will probably just get a warning or a wipe for the first offense. Good luck getting out, nobody else can help you 

    Im pretty sure what they are doing is actually illegal and I mean criminally illegal and if you are under 18 then I would guess evenmore so. 

     

    Record these people demanding cyber sex from you and report it to the police. This is not a "kewl feature" what this boils down to is extortion/blackmail in an attempt to obtain sexual gratification and that is highly illegal. If you think this is harmless fun then I advise you take a long hard look at your moral compass and at what is actually going on here. 

     

    If you have a child who's ball has been take away and another person is refusing to give it back unless sexual services are given it puts it into perspective. 

     

    If I were you developers I would remove this feature immediately otherwise this may well blow up in your face. 

    If the media gets a hold of this grapesshot will become instantly well known around the world for all the wrong reasons

    That having been said, mentally prepare yourself for the fact that at some point it will happen. 

    Sooner or later a change will be made that can only me implemented with a server wipe, I can imagine changed to the claim system being one such example. So it is only a matter or time before it happens. So be ready 🙂

    Claim challenging is broken, which is intended to be their solution.

    Build on a Lawless zone, if you don't like the way claims work. Which few do right now.

    Don't do this, go to claimed territory and try to slap down a claim flag on someone elses claim, chances are there are spots they are not active in and as such can be counter claimed. Solo players have bitten off more land than they can maintain so they are exposed to counter claiming

    As someone who cannot play all day every day I find this to be most frustrating.  I spend all of my play time on a raft, fighting the wind most of the time, only to find an island that is completely red with claims.  So I set sail and find another island that is completely red and the pattern continues.  I have yet to be able to find a single piece of land to claim.  I've spent all of my hours on Atlas on a raft.  Dying over and over and respawning over and over only to find red islands.  Game is not fun when this is all I do.  I'm tired of my raft and would like to establish some sort of bigger ship.  My play time is so sporadic that I would rather play solo, but this game is not friendly to those who dont have a large company that has someone online 24/7.

    You can stop searching there is no grail at the end of your quest, there are no claimable lands that haven't been claimed. You will have to rethink your strategy.
