If they wipe again so soon after this one im out, and so will be everyone i know who still plays it. Why would you bother with all those annoying crappy mechanics if the stuff you built isnt even gonna last more than 2-3 months...

We have around 6 or 7 players/companies building on our island, yet somehow they get removed from the active Settlers all the time (which affects the tick duration). It seems they only get added the first time they build/log and then just drop off the list...

According to another thread just to consolidate findings in this one location!  Player Shops can be put in free ports at the price of 1Gold Per Minute 2400 Gold per day lol!!!!!!!!

What a steal.. gonna put up a few of them right away

They also cost 60g to craft..

Same economical principles they apply to the game itsself aswell  The amount you would have to sell there and the prices youd have to ask for will never work. The game doesnt even have a big enough playerbase to sustain that. Much like the Island points and the whole claim system it seems to be aimed at a playerbase size they already lost long time ago.

I absolutely hate being in the deep water. If I fall overboard I will start to panic in real life it is so creepy. Please tell me I'm not the only one ....

You are not

The time between the ticks increases the more settlers you get

You put gold into the flag or Taxbank, it takes the amount for your island out every 12+ hours, the more Settlers the longer the interval.

The "bye bye" loses a bit if you put a "once again" in front of it  

Just find a small one thats taken, but with a decent tax. We claimed a small one and set the tax to 15%; prolly going to change it to 10% even anyway. And as long as people dont grieve others or try to reserve the whole island with pillars/foundations we dont interfere. The only reason we even claimed one was to avoid 50% tax and a random idiot who destroys all you built.

A lot of Islands are set to 15-20 actually, some to 10...

Looks like they did listen to your suggestion

Do that for PvP is you must. I dont get whats so hard for the devs to get that for the PvE part a lot of players just want to build in peace with an acceptable decay timer. I play in a small company with rl friends, it should be possible to enjoy the content with a decent group of players without forcing us to join some random Mega or pay 50% taxes and risk the chance that some "funny" random decided to remove what we built.

On the last PvE we claimed a small part of an Island and just did our thing. This is pretty much impossible now. Thanks Grapeshot.

 Welcome to the EU PvE Players, our server was gutted for the PvP PTR some time ago  At least you guys get another 2 weeks of beta testing (EU PvE) and prolly avoid some of the drama...

I wouldnt worry too much, not anyone feels like doing their alpha testing/bug squishing for them. They didnt even make an effort to make sure we can actually test stuff properly. I was one of those 2k who actually did make the effort, just to find out that they didnt even get the basics to work. The new zone is completely messed up, tons of clipping errors, nodes you cant harvest, basic resources missing, respawning under the islands, resource respawns in your buildings, walls/ceilings keep dissapearing, etc... What youd expect from a rushed "quick fix".

I wish they would actually move the release date back a few weeks and sort that crap out (and that inculdes the tames falling through walls problems). A lot of returning players will not be bothered to stay long if the first thing they see is all those bugs.

Sitting here thinking about the over 50% taxes I pay in real life.  

Yeah which is exaclty why i dont need it in a game i play for fun aswell  Next we need to pay into health insurance and pension for our "pirates"  

Thats a sideeffect of the half assed try to counter pillar/foundation spamming to ruin spawns i guess...

i just spoke with jat he was in L7 in the prt fixing some rain affects, and I asked him was it still going live on the 11th of apr and he said yes it is.

They said that for every deadline they had so far. They also said that there was no console cheating. And a "steam account breach". so yeah.

Why did they change that again? Did the brute force grievers complain?...

I should also point out that actual slaves had no say in who their masters were. You may feel that the new claim system is like forced slavery, but in that case at least you get to shop around for your master.

It is a feudal system, full stop. And sadly you cant really "shop around" a lot, once you built all your stuff there it is a certain commitment to that island. Not t mention that you are at someones good will, as they can change it at any point as they see fit. If i learned one thing, especially in games with no sub... if the system promotes being a douche, chances are very high it will attract a lot of them.

I hope that the sap is an oversight, it had sap before the change. Some islands have both iron and silver, maybe its simply a copa and paste oversight...

Ok, i tested everything. Can we start the regular 1.5 now please ?

Did you practice your "yes Master, ofc Master, right away Master" ?

Superfun if you build somewhere with ok taxes and the Slavemaster decides to change it at some point. The fact that they even raised that crappy system from 30 to 50% shows how disconnected they are from their own game. I guess it doesnt matter much if you are used to console commands.

The 50% taxes are fun.

Not at 6x rate..

Yeah because we are all concerned about taxes on the PTR....

We talk about the live version. No 6x there.

There was a topic, literally one below yours that already discusses taxation.

If you dont sit here refreshing the already open page it is not, and the "suggested topics" didnt bring up squat.
