Whales are fun you can just outrun them , trick i found head for the nearest island if you get close enough to it they leave you alone. But ghost ships after the last major update they seem to be everywhere only couple of grids where i only saw 5 of them , mostly on avg around 20 in 1 grid currently and i mean tundra grids where theres only like 5 players online on avg.

From what ive seen large companies dont really rent land only smaller ones 5 and under and the reason for renting is others cant claim the land if someone is sleeping farming even if he aint part of the company wich needs to be changed. The 3 day protection that you can refresh is good enough . And so far it feels like the land owners should pay the renters tax instead considering those guys are stopping you from losing your land lol.

LOL renting land now that you cant keep it safe ? Yeah it works stops other people from taking it over but id just say it now just remove the flags or you will lose them to the renters soon enough a 3 man company will not be able to hold the island...

Why i dont join a company in pve humans you never know wtf they will do.

From what ive seen in streams the masts are not phyaical atm but the "birds nests " on the masts are. But i might be wrong about the nests considering i only heard it on the background while playing but i did see them park a schooner inside closed area with masts sticking out. Well it didnt go so well for them the 1st time cause they didnt have the ship anchored opening the large gate made the ship into a blender.

Is this the 1st patch you guys seen or what couple of snakes and crying , heck i had to deal with about 20 wolves every time the server went down . One day it happened 4 times was so fun sniping them with a carbine on top of my house.

@Asanna are you sure the build option on the flag is company only? If its free for all you will have to change it and if i remember right wait like 3 days before you can demolish the building.

@Elroodholy f wtf are you even thinking about , im sorry but i cant understand where the f are you pulling all this BS from. Even if the large cpmpanies split they still have the same nr of claims ...

Oh pls tell me how a company that has like 500 players should not dominate over 20 man companies .... And the resource protection yes some people just want to grief and block stuff but most people just want a coastal area to build the house/ships . In the current system peole have spammed islands full of flags in the name of "protecting resources" pls tell me how you are protecting EVERY piece of sand or fiber. Yes if you want you can plant flags that are going in a straight line from the coast to inland or over some special resource but pls tell me again how special every tree/ stone and plant are .

Im sorry but did you even read at all what i typed cause the reply you gave shows that you didnt. Im not againt the claim system they just need to limit it somehow for it to work for PVE and i took pvp here to make a comparison for what all these people are whining about "overpopulation" in pve , and as i pointed out its not true at all , pve servers are the least populated ones by like 60% less players then pvp.

@Linxieits not the lack of servers its human greed , pvp servers are full with 150 people and no problems on larger more wanted islands and you wanna tell me the so called 20 players on avg we currently have in servers is full then i sadly have to call it a BS. People should only have like 2 claims per person for free after that they need to add some sort of cost to them . And all these excuses about large guild will dominate and resources would be blocked . Are the 2 most re7arded excuses ive seen in a long time. But what am i expected as a person thats played a lot of online games ive found out that the avg human really aint any smarter then a monkey throwing shit in the zoo.. This claim system dosnt work for PVE and you dont need to be a rocket scientist to understand that.

They can leave the tax but a major change is needed in the claim system , and this coming from a guy thats been playing the game 2hr after the release and had all the claims stolen while sleeping/at work. If they want new players they need to add a claim limit and cost/upkeep if you go over it . Thats the only way i can see pve turn out playable for new players/ people that have lost it all and had to restart from scratch. Il give them that its early access and this coming from someone that has had his ships griefed , wolf spawn inside house while sleeping and killing me and lost my claim thanks to it . Most of my 190 h of play time is searching for land i could claim after having to restart from almost 0 , 4 times . One time had to relevel a totally new char. Now im building on tundra thats totally frozen over and i would not even be suppriced if i logg on tomorrow and its claimed as well , cause the 3 day protection timer should be over now and with all the work + a 6h drive i havnt even managed to log on and refresh them . For a PVE game in its current form it sure needs a lot of commitment , that most players cant afford. Most of us are here just to relax after a long work day and build something . But its not fun when almost every time you log on you have to start again from nothing. Heck i can say ive gotten quite good at starting now only 20 min to get out of freeport with a sloop , smithy, large storage and bed. About an hr if i want to change the sails out for medium and get fur clothes most of that time spent farming turtles for the shells , for something that has a huge a55 shell on its back it sure gives a low a55 nr of them about 5 on avg. Not even gonna start with elephants big boned animals give tons of hide but only like 2 bones on avg...... Well this turned into a random rant but oh well here you guys have it.

The things you buy fir the apartment you keep in this you lose everything and are back to the start you dont go building a 5 star resort on a rwnted field in real life so nit really a difference there yes if the large companie build some small huts and you could just use the place while farming mats and hopping to a new place when done id see this tax system work but in the current form its pure garbage like the claim system. Seems you havnt been in a lawless for a while people have spammed it full of pillars so others cant build...

Well some griefers are pulling in ghost ships again get them close enough hit them for aggro and hide behind the ship / building you want destroyed. So yeah it only takes more time now but still aint foolproof . Now only thing im hoping for atm is the claim system overhaul.

And the "fix" they did i have to say was fun the raft i usually hop over for cutting corners was stuck on it in falling animation , get to the edge and theres a invisible wall so you cant even get off it without killing yourself by punching and i mean the slow one cause you cant do the ctrl left/right trick while falling. And seems one beginner was stuck like that for over an hour before i got to the freeport and told him to just keep punching. Good thing they changed it so you can punch air to death . One time before the change i had to just keep punching and regening energy just to consume food faster while stuck so i would starve to death , took me about 20 min cause full energy regen only costs about 5 food...

@BaelithanDont remind me about sea flags had to go through a server that was spammed full of them most active time of the day only 8 people on and barely saw any buildings on the land but the server was laggy like the lawless areas....

As ive sayd before 2 claims per person and you can go over it but need a upkeep , straight up some resorces and pay a certain amount for keeping them up once a week or so.

This is PVE not PVP we cant to anything at all , you sleep and work thats about 16 hr of your day gone and so is your flag and buildings pls tell me how that is PVE... You arev talking about how this game is focused on claiming but thats only in PVP where it really matters . Currently in pve small companies are holding large pieces of land thanks to the 3 day protection , and the bugged flags that need 6 hr for taking over while anyone that walks in the area can stop it. And no its not just the 1 flag owners that need 6 hr ive seen 20 flags in a area owned by one company tried to claim a spot and its still 6 hr...

They should add a per person claim limit and if you go over it have to pay for the upkeep of extra claims.

@Elroodyes biggest companies but that dosnt apply to the pve atm moslt you have small companies of 3-5 people dominating whole servers cause they got there 1st and refresh flags to keep the 3 day protection up.

Well short answer this pvp claim system dosnt work for pve specially with allthese bugs. 2 claims per person would be fine , and if you whine large companies will dominate then yes , do you even have anything between your ears its simple logic large companies will dominate no matter the state of this game . But limiting the flags will balance out the smaller companies that stole all the land they could. Heck 1st claim i had soon after the game was released got stolen in just 6 hr of sleep thanks to not having a protection system by a 2 man company that spammed flags all over the island. 2nd one i stole from a 3 man company that had taken over the whole 3 islands on a grid and it took the guys 1 hr to drive there with a raft was the only reason i got 2 spots. And after that they released the 3 day protection , refreshed my flags next day my shipyard taken over by overlap. 6 days later got back in the game with another 2 man company taking over my and the allies land on the island. And i only had 1 claim flag left. They sunk my ships and just left someone sleeping on a ship camping the flag so each time i went out of the area to farm my flag would go down. So i demolished and popcorned all the stuff i had . And took a almost week long break. Now been playing again for 4 days sailing around all over the place. On pve most populated place is the lawless with avg of 80 players , then near the freeports its only a avg of 30 players per grid. More dangerous places like desert and tundra is about avg 10 players , full ice area tundra was only avg of 2 players and even then 60% of the land was claimed . Oh and if you asking about claims on other lands its 95% with only small caps that you cant claim. And if you think 2 flags per person aint enough go join a larger company... You dont need all that land and the excuses of protecting resources is " braindead" , sure if you want to make sure something dosnt get built on go place 1 of your flags there we dont need to "protect" sand or every f piece of fiber on the land....

@Traven Guthrie 7 grids yeah shows you that you havnt really seen what a shi* show pve is on the 1st day this game was released i had to travel 7 grids , so far in total ive gone through over 50 grids i ask people and if no response circle the islands in the grid for finding anything i could claim , if your experience of this game is only 7 grids you havnt seen even 1/10th of what the map is like. So anything you say about how this claim system is working nicely and should not be changed cant really be taken in face value . Heck i bet you havnt even had 1 of your ships sunken by weight griefers yet LOL.

yeah having to wait 5 hr to take over someones abandoned place cause they only own 1 flag is "interesting" and each time someone walks into it your flag gets contested is real "fun" . Sorry but seems i got a different understanding of "fun" from you.

@Traven Guthrieif you think theres not enough land for all the players you are wrong on that point lawless mostly have on avg 80 players on PVE servers then the islands next to lawless are about 40 on avg then another grid away its about 30 and it keeps going down like that until about 5ish players who are on the farthest grids north / south on the map and those 30 players usually own islands the size of what ON PVP has megaguilds with 150 players on But yeah if you tally up the avg players per server on PVE it would be a measly 30ish . But nope who cares that theres a lot more people on PVP and no1 has to worry about a spot cause you can just shoot the guy that tries to defend and we cant even get enough spots on PVE for 1/4th of the players that PVP has your logic is soundproof.... And if you come with resource protection logic they can just change the distance that buildings stop resources from spawning , not like the 30min tree respawn rates are so good anyways currently.

@Traven Guthrie The flag limit WILL have the result we are looking for PVE servers dont have the 500+ megaguilds as the PVP servers most players in pve are small groups of 2-10 , that have claimed a lot more land then they need but heck no point in me saying anything cause from what ive seen in the game aint FACTS for you anyways cause the only place you have been seems to be lawless and your own small spot in the game . But who cares that i have over 200hr played on steam and about 70% of that traveling on the sea while losing 2 schooners and sloops and countless number of rafts jsut to find a place to claim after my 2 first places got taken over .
