Well, from the makers of ark, I'd think they should be familiar with the term "adapt and survive".

Never played Ark...

you knew it will come. why the whining? you knew when you bought the game, that it will be a core element. its not polished yet. All they should do, is to spawn the fountain everywhere this time, till they figure out what will be best for all.

Actually, I didn't. Not sure I would have bought it had I known age was even a factor in playing the game. It's totally dumb and immaterial to the game.

I absolutely despise the age aspect of this game now. I am almost 90 now I am forced to go on a freaking quest on some other island or suffer a debuff? This is complete BS. I also absolutely HATE traveling to other islands as I find sailing abhorring and extremely difficult and I get lost too easily, also, there are so many players that just like to grief ships and my sloop is always sunk. I prefer to just tame, craft, and build on my own comfortable island. Why do I now have to sail to random islands to quest for a fountain of youth? And will I even be able to complete this freaking quest as a solo player? I ask because I will never play in a group and this will certainly ruin the game for me =-(

Instead of adding a debuff and gimping characters, how about just including the beneficial buff and those that chose to quest may get that beneficial buff as an incentive but don't debuff the ones that choose not to go on this quest, please?

 

While I do enjoy sailing, overall this is a crafting game for me, and the age thing adds absolutely zero to my game play.

I 1000% agree with this proposal. No way that this should be a forced quest.

Think the devs are trying to kill the game off. The whole age thing is completely lost on me, the obvious creation of someone who hasn't passed their thirties. Trust me, no one that has any years under their belt wants to simulate old age. This feature adds ZERO to the game and is just plain stupid, let alone this brain dead quest - and then to have it not even stick so I have to do it again? No thanks!

Griefing is normally considered to be taking advantage of a bug, to the detriment of other players. We currently have a humongous in the game where you can not dispute other player's territories, at almost any time. We have a company in the N11 area named Landlubbers who makes the practice of claiming multiple territories all over the island of  for no other purpose than to then use the marker to inflict taxation on people who are ACTIVELY playing in the area, which they never do. I tried to place a disputing flag today, was there at precisely the time their maintenance counted down and was not able to place it. Now of course, their flag has gone into negative maintenance and there is zero way of ever getting rid of them now due to that bug, which they seem to intentionally be using to grief other players.
