Can someone explain claim in PVE to me please ?

We left the PVP server, and all of us are 10.000+ hours Ark PVP veterans. All of this is pointless on a server with chinese hords, no Cheat protection at all, non-fixed exploits (Kill one plank of a galleon with an axe and blubb blubb blubb).

same as pvp excpet no player damage or ship damage except by exploits , the land claim 3 day day protection was meant to be in the game but its broken ,the timer  only seems to work for 3 days after u place the flag not start 3 day countdown when u log out

It's no time when you consider the fact that you should only of been able to do that if the owner has been away from the claim for 72 hours..atleast that's how it was supposed to work.

 

However the system is broke, it's a joke.  Chances are the player just left the claim to explore the world, and won't get back in time and will lose everything...

this , although my flasg were 1/4 way donw when i logged in this morning , i was logged out asleep in my base 

so doubtt even that part is working correctly

at least a tweet or something from devs to say they are working on this for the pve players ?????? stop adding ships and other crap fix the PVE 3 DAY PROTECTION  

PLAYERS HAVE REAL LIFES WITHOUT HAVING THEIR GAME LEISURE TIME FUCKED BY A SYSTEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TESTED PROPERLY

Just a caution: while my ship was moored at my base, every wolf that aggro'd me seemed to run directly to my ship and start attacking it, and actually killed one of my NPCs (even though they were in the boat and the wolf was in the water).

this i have to keep them inside the base as they seem to be a magnet for every wild animal that come within 5000 miles

Bottom line, they don't work.

Apparently the 72 hour protection is only for the first 72 hours the owner places the flag, after that, unless you camp on the claim, then someone can start contesting it and in 30 mins they will own your claim and whatever was on it.

 

then they need to fix it to start when u log out now when u place flag:/ what a silly thing for devs to do accidental maybe .. id like ot think so

They have no intention of fixing this.  They have 0 idea of how they want to implement it, and their "fix" to date does nothing...they won't respond to posts or tweets about it...

So unless you are playing 24/7 or sharing your account so someone is always on your plot, expect to lose it.

adding to this i have given an area away before now to a new player that asked nicely and was friendly in chat so my area now is squashed between 2 other companys , 

they have tried to fix it once which didnt work so they have to be working on the 3 day safety net for pve , although it was being contested while i was alseep ogged off my flags was still going down  didnt htik that was possible if it was vonteted while sleep[ing

i have been in this spot since day 2 afetr i got out of freeport i have maybe 5-6 flags in and area 3 across the beach 3 behind , i log in after being away 8hr and find another player with a flag planted and my flag 1/4 way down  i was logged out in the area inside my base , 

this needs fixing asap , its meant to be a game not real life having to stay logged in forever , again pve server we play pve to avoid this shit 

declaim? sounds like your are taking another player claims ?

true but if u go look for areas that look abandoned / no building go try claim it , there are a lot of players that have left or moved to other islands , 

the long and lat of the map  markers is way out , the markers end up on the other side of the grid , can u fix thi s, with such a alrge map and amount of islands thi sis crucial to mark u areas of interest i.e resources , places to avoid

 WHY ARE THERE SOOOOOOOOOO MANY ISLANDS WHERE YOU CANT CLAIM EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT FREE PORTS!!! 

u can u just got to go look for an area that looks deserted and start placing flags if they havnt been visted ina while you can take it 

thios 100^ , tbo im suire the devs are working on this no amount of posting the same thing will speed it up it 

a quick question formed an alliance with neigbors , is it possible for them to help crew my ships as hey cannot acces the sails to help out , i can understand not letting them have acces to the steering wheel for obvious reasons, alliance members running off with ships , but there isnt any reason for them not to be able to operate the sails ....

same as in ark 

the wolf mechanic isnt fun in any shape of form a lvl 2 or lvl 200 they all kill u , and lets be honest we are just tickling them with our bows and swords etc , 35-45 damage per hit is pitiful at lvl 44  im doing the same damage i was at lvl 1

confimed claim right next to me is respawning ,

all i have is one ship yard , one small 4x4 base that has been in same spot since i claimed the area near beach so that it didnt affect spawns , something has happened overnight that i cant explain 

adding to this trees on the adjoining claims are respawning   also trees at the edge of my claim where it is about 5 cm away from next doors is working

Buoys arround?

nope nothing that would affect the spawns ,no new structures in the area nothing  its very odd , yesterday was great 

claimable , i have run around the entire island nothgin i can see that would affect spawns 

same as yesterday it was spawning faster than any of us could farm it , log in today all gone like it was farmed overnight into the mroning , but i hasnt respawned and no new buiildings up nothing new at all 

once again resources not respawning , fine all day yesterday , fine right up until log out i was making most of increased resouce gathering , 

logged in this morning nothing in the area, ok someone has been farming overnight and this morning couple hours later sill nothing 

checked area , no buoys , no lighthouses , nothing has changed since log off last night 

i am open to suggestions ,

Naw I'm against this my dude. If you can't find land to claim then sail from the island...

too many players are not even looking they are just going past seeing the red blobs and leaving , 

the island im on has had at least 6 new player claims in the past day , a lot of players have already moved on or left , start actually landing on the islands and exploring insted of bitching about limiting land claims , 

i use bow skills , i have 2 skills that increae damage yet on average am only doing 34-38 damage to animals no matter the lvl , lvl 2- 200 always ssame damage , yet the animal damage doesnt seem to amtter what lvl they are dead in 4-6 hits maybe more on accasion but not a  lot in it , the knockbacks from wofls , rhino , girafffes , is ridiculous ,

and the aggro range is far too much they spot u from across the islands , and follow u for ever , early acces is not an excuse for this when u have ark damage models and animal ai to work with , this should have the one part of the game that wasnt an issue 

buff our damage or reduce the animals damage so we at least have a bit of chance against them, 

p.s lvl 44 wearing plate armour ,

yeaah  , no , the flag we got in the base is new, but it still can be contested after 4 hours , not 3 days 

i have to agree with u , flags all replaced yestrday , i have been trveling exploring , get message claim is being contested , then it stopped , so seems someone is testing for later when more chance of players in bed , so the 3 day is not working

I dont know if you guys have been told, but flags need to be updated. Any flags placed before update can be stolen, 

 

a lot of us have but seems the timer is not working ,

Wrong.  We anchored at a Freeport because there were no claims to be had, and the Ships of the Damned were killing everything.  This Brigantine almost decayed away in less than 1 day.  That is absurd, so don't blame absurd game mechanics on player ignorance.

ans there ya go freeport , the devs have changed it to fast decay as too many pvp players were parking there to avoid damage overnight

if there is really more decay at freeport and ships decay in a few hours ill point to the problem that some people are unable to sail to other islands and build there...

they are not going to find land sat in freeport
