LOL, yeah, that is why they got rid of it...
because the system was "stupidly" perfect... 

What will happen, if you limit the claims per company? - too small for good size company... or many alliances to that company sharing claims... result = what you hated about that old system...

What will happen, if they limit the claims per player? - too small for you (even smaller after they locked you in)... or giant companies to have more bodies to have more claims... result = what you hated about that old system...

Then you will come back here and want that players get the amount of claim flags you need to build your base, while the company size limit has to be reduced to something very close to 1 with an alliance cap close to 0, so that you not get griefed by the claim flag BS like before the wipe and everyone can live happily ever after... 

while the solution right now is as easy as it gets... you are too small for an island claim and you don't even need one... unless you are anti-social, of course... but there is single player for that - no one to get in your way...

agan READ WHAT IS WRITTEN  the system needs to come back with i will put it in capitals again LIMITS PER PLAYER OR COMPANY , nothing could have been simpler , 

flags for no build zones by others , anywhere not flagged can be built on like now ,but with faster decay unless repaired , or visited

Be carefull what you wish for Udo: that increased build radius will also work for those two snapped foundations under water or inside a rock that some spammer (or ignoramus) slapped down.

In a landscape where must stuff is built allready I would cry "Yea!"; in a context where we still need to build I would sigh "Nea!" to such an increase.

yes true , i still maintain along wioth others the old system with a limit to flags per player or company was the best solution ,

Easy and as said before
- give the claim owner option to start decay timer on structures in his claim.
- give notification to structure owner about this and when the timer runs out for him.
- structure owner has time to move his stuff out and/or get structure resources back by demolishing it himself , before timer runs out.
- when timer runs out remove structure and all items in it (no stealing by claim owner that way).

Allows the claim owner to keep his island clean (for everyone else on the island) and does not grief the structure owner too much, because he can get his stuff out safely.

And again, PVE in this game cannot work... by design it needs PVP to keep the toxic PVE in check as the only available mechanic that works...

 

stupid idea by stupid people ,

the game can work for pve old claim system with flag limit per company or player , nothing could be more simple ,,,,no more sinlge players taking over en tire islands and having to think about how they use their LIMITED FLAGS,not the word LIMITED as in not many , as in to few to allow spamming of said flags ,

if this goes live then there needs to be a very very large increase in the no build radius around bases , or welcome to the walled in bases era .............................

Devs,

 

One of the best feelings in this game especially when there isnt PVP going on...is sailing into the unknown. Can we please have the option at least to turn on the Fog of war for the minimap so we can see where we have been. Im at the point now where im living in the discovery menu because I cant tell what island is what, or where Ive been.

The FOG of war is still in the game since we can see it when we die, but having the option when were alive would obviously be far more useful.

 

Thank you for all you've done thus far, game is tons of fun.

 

1400+ hours in so far

its on in single players , i dont understand why the devs dont just turn in back on for Mulitplayer its a very heavily requested feature

UDO..... where your base at ?..... i will come set up a taming pen right outside your front door.... bet you change your tune about “pillar protection” real quick..... 

the new “line” is just for you.....

doubt it will bother me i dont have one base  i will repeat u are part of the problem u offer nothing in the way of a solution to the pillar spam issues that plagued ark and now atlas the claim flags they had worked just the fact that u had unlimited broke the system , they need to come back with limits

Yeah I was thinking I would need to spend more than 1k but everyone else was saying 1k would be fine. Thank you for your input.

it is really unfortunate because I would get a pc and use a controller but none of my buddies have a pc. My only hope to get a pc would be if atlas went the ark route and let pc play with Xbox “via Microsoft store” 

I am not doing steam if I get a pc. Microsoft store just just fine with combining Xbox and pc. I’ll make sure to spend a pretty penny on a pc if I do get it

i dont have the best machine on the market but it is a higher spec than your average pc gamer 2080 ti, i9 , m2 drives for os and games , ssd for everything else , , i can run games in 4k and get 60 fps plus but not in every area , not with 100% consistency it does depending on where i am how many other players , what's built etc i do drop to low 30;s ,but damn do games look good

With 5K I could Triple SLI some of the most expensive video cards, have mineral water cooling the best board on the market maxed out RAM and still have change left over!

 

 

 

 

So your thought process that a gaming PC is 5000 dollars is a bit on the extreme end...

 

 try buying 2 or 3  2080 ti (currently top card on market) for less than $4000 so that blows your theory  right out window about sli ing top video cards , and then adding the rest (cpu , mboard, memory, hdd , ) to even push the cards to their max performance for less than 5k , you are talking bullshit , 

your system runs any new games at best on low to medium setting  , with sub par frame rates , and you know it ,unless you can post us a video of your pc running atlas/ark/  max settings at a good resolution  u are talking rubbish , 

u need high end expensive machines to run true 4k at 60fps , this is why people who can will spend upwards of $5000 for their pcs they want to play games and have them looking their best , not looking like something from 20 years ago

They are right now playing with changes to the claim dynamic and more so the conquering of claims and most likely land PVP in general.
Subtle changes are visible, like that lawless islands have claim values now already - not yet claimable...

 

if u read the notes the only way the silos would work on lawless was to have claim points enabled , nothing to do with claim changes incoming ....

If you see a foundation or pillar with my name on it.... YOU ARE INSIDE MY BASE.... and if you think decaying stand alone elements will fix YOUR problem.... think again.... I will just turn the whole damn base into one big parking lot....

same old crap you post whenever someone mentions the pillar foundation spam , get a new line , 

you are part of the problem ,

Lol, dont be so jelly.

We're gunna have a badass parade. Tanks and jets and other various machines of war, even a B2 I hear. Lots of pageantry, without having to be in a shit hole communist country where these things are normally done.

But really, this is our Independence day celebration. We do feel great about ourselves for the many many great things we and our country have done. Try and not shit all over it just becuase whatever shit hole you reside in didnt make the game your currently playing.

️️

the shit hole that is your jumped up oh so important countries best ally , as it happens , 

yeah lets add a single countries specific celebration into the game , why? ( sarcastic voice on ) just another way to make the oh so great USA feel great about itself ?

What? Have you not been following the discussions the last days? This update was ment to give the landowners the option to pay and feed the NPCs for their Settlers - as very loudly demanded by the community. The option to pay and feed everyone is just a sidenote. I think you are completly missunderstanding this update and it's purpose.

no it wasnt , the DEMAND as u put it was for a island wide way for settlers to feed their crew ,and pay their crews , not for the island owners to feed and pay them ,

the devs really are clueless at the moment , no island owner is going to feed and pay every settlers and their own crews ,

Have you noticed the sotd stay still until you are very close to them? Are they supposed to be like that? Not so sure but they are static and you can see them for miles until they start moving.

and so far none have attacked me ,

And you didn't even manage to say what you meant to actually say.  Congrats.

i did say exactly what i wanted to ,  i agreed with him short timers for small amounts of structures ,and then i stated  " why should small structures stay for weeks"  still with me or are u confused ?, you then started spouting about how you didnt say weeks , "Who said weeks? He said 4 hours.. I said no chance.. I didn't say weeks."      nowhere in my reply did i say anything about or quote you as saying weeks , 

Really cannot see why you are confused and unable to comprehend simple simple threads , as all your replies lately you have been cherry picking what you want out of peoples replies and twisting them to suit your very one sided blinkered views ,

Who said weeks? He said 4 hours.. I said no chance.. I didn't say weeks.. you added that to my statement, this is your problem, you make assumptions about what someone says and twist it into meaning something else, then you reply to that twisted view..

But hey, thanks for letting me know that about conan exiles.. another reason why I won't be buying it added.

u really need to learn to read noone has said anything about weeks , my reply stated why should silly little 4x4 with a bed and smith and one box be allowed to sit there for weeks at a time ?  

i have made it bigger for you to reread ...

4 hours is good for small TEMPORARY structures 

10 minutes ago, Martyn said:

You are joking right? You expect people to sleep or log off for 4 hours or less at a time? Some people work for a living.. does that mean they can't play.

his idea could work u just need to make sure u build and not just pop down a bed on a foundation , why should silly little 4x4 with a bed and smith and one box be allowed to sit there for weeks at a time ? 

conan exiles small structures decay fast ,why is it not same here ?

single foundations should decay within n hour no exceptions , only increasing as u add more to it , increasing in minutes not hours , im sure devs hade the data for average build size and can adjust timers to suit

@JatheishPotential solution/idea regarding that, rather than a claim flag dealing with the issue. Structures such as similar to a Tax bank, like for example a "Island Headquarters Building" that could perform the gold upkeep tasks for a single island, and an "Island Cantina" structure that can perform the food related tasks for the island, for the company that owns them.

Each company on an island would have to have their own, and would elimate the flag issue.

one of the better ideas for a solution , alternativley could even just be  a flag settlers place so  they can put there up keep resources into it, also would allow us to have our identity displayed in the base ..

1 hour ago, Jatheish said:

We've made a change in our most recent update which should address this. Whilst it isn't a new structure, it does provide some necessary QOL in regards to this problem. 

v207.999

- Crew gold payment and food can now be done via your Company's claim flag. Crew that are on an island or on a fully anchored ship within Settlement range are eligible. Berries are the only food that can be used in the claim flag (there is a greatly extended spoil timer on berries in a claim flag for further QoL). Crew will still seek out payment and food from nearby food larders and payment boxes and if there are none nearby or they are empty, they will take from the claim flag.
 

Thoughts? Let us know if you spot any issues with it.

great but what about settlers? 

 so the islands owners have a easier time now just dump gold and food into flag and done , while settlers still have to run around making sure crew are within range of larders and resources chests and checking regularly to make sure they are stocked up , once again island owners are favored against smaller / solo players,

Hello Guys,

I have recently become the cook in the corp and i have noticed that the foods don't give the vitamins they show?

an good example of this is that the Fish and chips should be giving Orange and blue but for some reason it only gives blue vitamin
In the corp we have to eat berries right now because there are no player food that really gives the orange vitamin.

What has happened with this? Is it because the indicators on the food wrong?

watch the bars some are instant , others take a few minutes , i thought the same as you for a while some vits take time to rise .

That's interesting as steam claims there's 3k online atm and that tracker, which correctly shows me as the only person in N1 na pve, says there's only 1700 online atm. Across all 4 servers.

the tracker is the amount playing official where the game should be played ,

How much will it be?

You know what people will say.. about releasing maps.. for an EA game..

noone is going to be paying for it , its coming with next patch unless u can link a source stop throwing out stupid threads and causing players to panic.

whats next removing tame damage  or immune to everything except bear melle while blindfolded and wearing 2 peg legs 2 hook hands and all pink colored armour .....

these devs are just unreal , whoever is making their decisions must be working for a rival company there cannot be any other explantion

Not sure where that assumption would come from but that is the whole point of single player!

People don’t always have time to sail across 10 grids and then sail back.  Those of us with jobs realize that we will be able to explore all regions and simply log off when real life calls.

 

 

this was meant to be an mmo with 40k players they release the dedictated server files players split off , they allow private servers players split off , now single player , they have slowly killed there own vision with there decisions,

a giant MMO was there original vision u don't release all the server files and allow private servers for an MMo of this scale to succeed ,they needed to keep the players on their own server playing their vision of the game ,

I've the feeling this is their exit plan - patch in single player, release for console and call it quits. Player numbers are down so hard it isnt funny anymore
