The Foam Helmet

even a private server really isn't the answer since server companies are semi going the way or forced into by the devs. rent a server you get 1 square to work with which i think is like a total of 4 current squares but it's still "one" zone. So it will have to be a free port if you want npcs, then a 2nd server at least for a seperate biome. Think you need up to 16 servers for all the biome types which would be somewhere around $600 every 3 months 10 player base with how most companies prices are trending.

how far into the -'s does this have to go before i can reclaim -.-

i agree but sadly looks like they just kited a croc to my house and let it kill me through the window wall. Wouldn't of been a problem though if their mechanics worked like they were suppose to and gave the 3 day claim cooldown so now i'm just waiting outside my house for him to log back in so i can just walk in and take my stuff back out of chest since i can still access them since they were mine originally like i did with the ones on the shipyard. semi-crippled and on holiday vacation... i've not nothing but time

only have 7 walls left on ship but can't launch it because i no longer own my shipyard -.- well i still own the Schooner soooo as long as i don't scuttle it guess he can't use the shipyard either

Good to know the pin locks no longer exist when someone takes over a claim. Now I just want to go around and claim everything I see thought I was being nice only taking 5 claims but now... time to pay it forward with interest

and can't claim my land back because they now have -'s for timers

sigh my schooner was almost done too looks like they get a free ship too =/ be nice if they had admins to fix problems like this due to their bugs.

well i just lost all my buildings and shipyard to this when i went way for just a few hours to take a break

So what happened to the have to wait for 3 days before can steal land? On pve have been playing pretty much nonstop took a break today to come back and see my company claims were taken over. Is that 3 day cooldown period not just in effect or?

Is there a place somewhere I can see if certain map chunks are down?

If you're in G4 trave south to G5 I know the islands there have sap it's where i went

Believe so, before server went down actually did a respect 3 times without leveling up to try and find a way to let me complete things. Already crafted the build tables before hand and had them stashed away but atm while i can finish my schooner for the most part i'll need to respec and take sail building to finish it when it comes time for it. Leaning more towards speed sails instead of weight with these ghost ships showing up everywhere.

Eh I'd say about average 65 hours or so . Lvl 30 or around there can't check server down and almost have the Schooner built just missing a few walls and the ceilings for top deck. What my pics above were from went to an island to my south that it was alot easier to get metal but lacked wood/fiber which are easier on my island I'm building on.

As far as your rant won't comment due to fear of you going on again. As far as getting out of freeport/lawless for me as a solo I unlocked bow and farmed up enough materials to run down to town dock gave to guy to make me a raft then farmed up the hide for a bed placed on raft then a storage chest and off I went to get out of the lvl 8 cap zone.

That magical place is gone, I'm now in pucker sea. 4 friends came to visit

While despise doesn't do the feelings I have for this current patch justice as a solo player I'll still be stubborn and keep playing. I think they did this patch to take peoples attention away from the real problem... The hell is with the roaming packs of 10+ wolves. 2 wolves were hard enough to deal with now with the talents can't even defend myself from those if i want to build or farm supplies. Wish I was able to get a screenshot but was owned by about 12 wolves, 4 crocs 3 snakes and an alpha snake... i mean ouch which then proceeded to take up resident outside my lil ledge house I could hear their taunts throughout the night =(

I'm stubborn and seems like they trying to push me the solo player out of their game. So I'll keep playing and take up the challenge of won't get me to quit -.-. Or take a different look at farming and won't spec into the more resource points and look at it like heh you can only lock storage boxes... I know what I'm farming now lol. At least till the company I use implement their unofficial files so I can get server up.

What I'm reading into this is even more of a push towards unofficial servers again. Here's our game and this is now our stat and skill layout... Eh no thanks official soon to be wasteland again and unofficial back to the norm =(

Yea feel your pain. Just logged in level 25 and holy crap can't do anything I was already working on was having fun farming and building ship and armor and getting into the weapons. Now ... I have to pick maybe half of what I was doing. Barely had the points to be able to finish building my ship frame but can't get my armor/sails/taming/weapons *well got bow at least*
