is this on lawless land?

just speaking from a PvE point of view. I think for PvP the claim system is actually quite ok I think (never played pvp so don´t pin point me on that one ^^) 1) you can only set 1 claim flag at a time per person, not multiple which means harassment is mostly from a company with multiple people 2) if you start claiming stuff and leave your claim circle and someone else moves in you lose your flag 10 sec. later (at least pre patch 10.0, referring to flag spam etc.) 3) if you have a big claim where someone can actually claim further away you should have efforts defending it. if you can´t do it lose land and get smaller to the size where you can defend 4) if multiple people try to claim your land the bigger (and thus more powerful) group will win the land. you can defend as much as you are in a company and the same goes for taking. if you are only 1 person in your company you will have a hard time defending bigger claims 5) we naturally know after several defenses where our claims are based on the coords show. its just learning etc. 6) have a bed (pve) on certain key positions where claims cross each other so you can port around and potentially defend multiple claims at once (our main base has 1 cross point which covers 4-5 claims at once, we only build like this and had no issues defending until now with 3 people alone and even offline over night) I personally only hate the system cause I can´t see the claim timer when something can be claimed and attacked. -.-

uhm, behemoth gates have quite a use for building water pens where galleons etc. fit through. even in pve we build ships and then surround them with gates to prevent crocs and other wild animals to attack them. additional they look pretty dope. i don´t like the gate spam though on the island. looks super ugly

please no. imagine having hundrets of claims being contested at once. what a horrible clustered UI it would be ^^ we just need a log and proper naming of messages

no, you have to declaim an area first (30min) and then claim it (10 min.) 10 min. claim is only if there is no other claim

duno, we have 5 crew members and all placed on positions (so no sweeping around) and they constantly use all our materials from the resource box. repairs are also instantly to full and they mostly do 5 planks at a time, 30 sec. later the next set of 5 planks. only time they didn´t repair was when not enough resources were in the box.

not sure if you understood the 3d rule. someone explained it to me like this: you set your claim, you wait 10 min. you claim land, then the 3d timer starts. once the 3d timer did run out it can be contested by everyone. being online does not reset the 3d timer since its only after the initial claim. if you are within your territory no one can claim it but once you are out players can claim it within 30 min. (40 min. to claim it fully, 30 to remove your flag) this is kind of stupid for PvE tbh ^^ land should be claimable if someone is offline for 3d. if an active player enters a claim the 3d timer should reset fully. or another solution would be that your online time is multiplied by 3 and used as protection timer. you play 3h you can leave your base for 12h. you played for 8h you can leave your base for 24h. time would add up so if you continue playing within the 24h it just adds up further and further until you hit 3d max.

I never know with the coords show where the claim is being attacked. The bigger your claim the harder it gets to even know where to defend. despite not having the option to check on the coords cause there is no log for the claim messages. they should appear somewhere in the company log at least or in a separte log where you can manage your claims. Or just mark the area being contested as orange zone instead of green on our mini maps, that would help as well to find the spots.

oh good to know, so this will stay? rather annoying tbh. ^^

kind of wondering why this hasn´t been mentioned in the patch notes. reload animation for bow is bugged atm for a lot of players. the reload animation repeats itself which doesn´t allow you to rapid fire arrows anymore.

yeah for me too

I wish there would be a way to a) name your flags and b) see the timer. Atm we are really bothered by this and the "old flags" issue is something that we probably also have since our core flags are from day 1.

There are multiple questions from my company regarding this topic. What we know is that you should only be able to claim land if the owner is not online within 3 days. After that you claim it, 30 min. pass, then his claim disappears and 10 min. later it is your claim. What does "online" mean? if I login outside of my claims I´m online, are they still protected? I assume you have to be in your claims within the last 3 days, but is just walking through them enough to reset the 3d timer or do you have to do any actions like building something etc.? You sadly can´t check the timer yourself. So now, I had the following case. My neighbour was very annoying and stressful for all others on the island. We went there and checked his claim and while he was within his base (and his claim) we could set up a flag to contest it (no 3d rule seemed to apply here). The timer was not running as long as he was within his claim. He then proceeded to leave with his raft and the second he left his claim the 30 min. timer started and my flag declaimed his land. 40 min. later we owned everything. He then came back and set his flag and tried to claim everything back which worked as well. We lost our flag but as long as we stood in his claim it wouldn´t finish. The buildings were still ours and would decay in 1h 20 min. I don´t get it. Why did it instantly started after he left? and also why was he able to claim it back from us? When we run around and check for claims we often see -XXXX seconds until claim is available. all timer are different despite being from the same company. So how do the timer reset? Do I need to do something in the claim to "reset" it back to 3d? Any help is highly appreciated especially since most company members fear that we lose our land to some strangers just claiming it and thus all we worked for etc.

everything would be ok if there would be resources spawning. they can´t expect players to delete their old buildings. we need a fix fast. almost my whole company stopped playing cause there is nothing to farm or to build.

it would help if you could name your flags and it shows the name of the flag

thank you for solving the issue for all new buildings but what about the old buildings in PvE. saying "player should just remove them" is not an solution. we have a guy who build a Buoy and when we asked him he just said no to grief us and now we are stuck in that situation? The Buoy timer resets to 3d every day.. Nothing spawns where we are. This sucks can we get at least some notice or official information in the patch notes that this is known and worked on? I have tried reddit and twitter to create attention. Our whole island looks super deserted and resource free. Its not nice to play there and progression is hardly possible. Can we please get a fix for this? You don´t have to bother about your ship getting destroyed if you can´t build a ship in the first place.

we have a buoy directly infront of our island from someone who doesn´t want to remove it. the decay timer constantly resets to 3d days. nothing spawns here and we don´t know what we should do. in PvE you can´t destroy it and devs don´t seem to realize there is an issue (or can´t solve it) for gods sake can someone please tell us what we can do here except leaving the island?

push, please inform a dev. we have a indestructible buoy from someone else on our beach on pve.. nothing spawns, please fix this. we can´t play

can someone check and confirm this? on our island nothing spawns in close proximity and there is only 1 buoy from our neighbours which are offline as it seems. anyone knows how to get rid of that thing in PvE?

awesome, our neighbours are from spain and rarely online. not only can´t we communicate I don´t know how I should make them to remove the bouy

we have no lighthouse and still have no resource spawn. though our afk neighbours build a buoy but this one is really far away

Same here on B7 EU PvE.. no resource spawn since last patch came out. Literally 0 stone, wood, etc. (no lighthouse around us) https://imgur.com/a/FEval8L

https://imgur.com/a/FEval8L We waited and waited for resources to respawn. No matter what time, at 2am in the morning or in the evening or midday. It always looks the same. Only resources that respawn are small plants (fiber, berry) and animals. Resources that never respawn: metal, stone, wood, oil, etc. Please, the game is unplayable for those in those areas right now. We can´t build a ship to leave this island to get other resources and this is getting more and more an issue. We can´t swim to other islands cause they are to far away. We seriously need help from devs here. Server cluster is B7 EU PvE the biggest island top right (looks like a fat half moon)
