Nope... Z

Can't you and "all the ppl that follow you" kill one guy? Z

To his defense... he's not admitting he's cheating, he's saying they don't allow it and will stop it. The question is will he stop it or is he trolling? Z

Unfortunately, they won't do shit. They don't care, and it's too much resources to police it. Z

What about the cheats? Z

YES, there is room for both... but you have to accept that if you insist on playing solo, you're going to have limits. One of those limits is not being able to pirate an EFFECTIVE warship without other people. NO< pirates were not "solos" lol. Someone has to steer, 5-6 ppl are on the sails, a cpl cook, one is a medic... and then a dozen or so ppl are on cannons. Yes, your post is about NPC's. We have a couple dozen and haven't bought any. You get them from sinking the SoTD's. So get a few other solos together and sink some.

Well... I've been at sea in various ships for 10+ hours and we've seen doznes of them but only 1 has attacked when we were not ready and we simply outran it... others we've sunk. Maybe we've been lucky, but I don't see it as an issue. We went looking for them last night to sink for NPC's and couldn't find any in almost an hour. You need to make sure that you're not so loaded with weight that you can't move at a good speed. I'm not too certain that rafts were meant to be sailed for hours on end. I'm not disagreeing that they need a nerf or something done, just saying I haven't seen these same problems, we've been able to avoid them. Maybe they should have less of them? I just think it's silly that they never attack rafts. Why wouldn't they? Z

I don't feel that fire should be eliminated from harming a ship... afterall, they are wood. But since half the hull is under water it shouldn't fully sink it, maybe just destroy the deck and sails/masts or something. Z

You're either cheating too, or stupid.

Look at the patch notes -

Bump - Come on Devs! In these videos he's appearing in the zone andc 10 seconds later headshotting. THAT doesn't happen.

If you're a really good player you can play an assassin type and sneak in, get kills and get out. It might be fun... so yes it CAN be done. Z

Use walls and NPC's. If you're the low hanging fruit then yeah, you'll be taken out... spend the time doing the work to build your defense and you'll make it more effort than they're worth and move on to someone easier. Z

Why does everyone want to be able to max every tree? You get to max 2 trees (maybe even three) and then mix up alternate skills. So you choose to be pure fighter with some additional skills, crafter, tamer, etc.. You can use any weapon in the game without putting points in it, so if you specialize in an ancillary skill (cannoneer, medic, builder, tamer) you can still fight, you'll just have other jobs. IMO the game would be ridiculous and require no teamwork if everyone could max 4-5 trees.

Sandbox MMO's don't HAVE an auction house... did ARK? UO? Darkfall or Shadowbane? Nope. Theme parks have those. There IS trade in the game, at least on the pvp servers people are trading. I can see how they wouldn't as much on a pve server, you just go get what you need. (but where's the fun in that?) Z

Look through the guild forums and watch for posts here... then contact people and be welcomed into an island. Z

Well... wouldn't "a huge crew of Chinese people" overwhelm you with OR without hacking? Z

If this is true.... then talk to your Chinese brothers and PROVE it. Create 50 man companies and fight vs against each other. Z

I read "make the map bigger" and stopped lol... you want more to do? Come to a pvp server, you'll NEVER not have something to do, whether it's defend your base, rebuild it, attack someone elses, etc.. There's not much to do because you're playing on a pve server in a pvp game. Z

But at level 51 you're stuck with whatever you have. Z

I like it the way it is. (you can hold up to 3 weaps in the hotbar at the same time now, it just varies on which) This is a skill-based game, not a tab targeted themepark. You can already switch weapons pretty fast by loading them in your hotbar and pressing 1-7 keys or whatever it is. Once you hit the button some have a delay, but that's to balance the weapon types. If you're equipping a bow it takes a few seconds to to load the arrow... and when you swap from range to melee, the time varies depending on the size/type of melee weapon. Fists are instant, knucks take 5 seconds, swords 10. You CAN equip a melee and ranged weapon at the same time, just not two 2-hand weapons. So you can equip a bow and a 1-hand sword, bow and knuckles, rifle and fist, etc.. No, you can't equip both a rifle/bow and a two-hand mace or spear at the same time because they're 2-handed. You can hold 3 sometimes... for example, a 2-hand and 2 one handed, or a bow, throwing knives and a 1-hand melee. I think once they speed up swings and melee in general it'll be much better, but I don't feel the loading/hotkeys need change. Z

Where are they found, or what do they look like? Z

I think you can mine it if you see a salt stone or get it from beaches shoveling... Z

It's a sandbox, not theme park. Z

You need to create alliances with other smaller guilds or get good. Z
