It is not subscription based. They got your money. You can be sure there will be a few bones tossed your way before the next DLC

I have seen the 30 min once in total (and then the timer was off big time), a handful of 10 min timers here and there, but most of the time i only get the "we are now deploying" crap. You would think that in a game where it is so important to log out in a safe spot they would come up with a timer or more consistant messages. Only like pretty much every MMO out there has. Not to mention that 10 minute warnings in a game where sailing takes AGES wasnt very smart to begin with.

Had that a few times, it went away after a server restart. Very annoying when you try to do anything with them, the flicker resets the radial menu aswell...

They look ugly and should look like a normal ailing boat. And withe same benefits and cons a player haves. 

Butt ugly designs fall totally out of  all other art

Because they didnt figure out how to make NPCs use the same ruleset and be any useful i guess... Same reason the trader is an ugly wannabe river-steam boat.

If you wipe the servers, especially the PvE ones (not much to do except for building, really) you will just lose large parts of the rest of the shrinking playerbase. See ARK. Not to mention that it wouldnt make any sense now before they at least sorted the biggest flaws (and exploits) around.

Agreed, this is getting out of hand and needs to be addressed...

Apart from the fact that the SotD should be a LOT rarer than the currently are, it is really annyoing that they dont follow the same ruleset playerships have to.

I get it, it seems to be too hard to let them use actual sail mechanics. But at least adjust their speed to the current windspeed? If you have low windspeeds you are doomed. Thats not "fun and engaging gameplay", or a skill factor. It is just annoying. Nothing else. Or change the render range so you can actually avoid them. But we all know that one is never gonna happen, the "150 max" Servers already buckle under the load of 20+ just sitting on islands.

With one of the recent "fixes" it seem like you broke the part again that made sure your crew doesnt get killed by wildlife... There was no aggro from the ship and it was anchored.

Oh of course, typical EA response.

Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Your Buff vs. hundreds of ships.. There is your non EA response.

Agreed, there was no 15 min warning, only a 2 hour one.. everyone assumed there would be at least a 5 min warning.. especially before a giant patch

There was also a 20 and a 10 minute warning that even gave you the planned time the servers will go down.

Be aware that the mod uses the Ark fonts and messes up the current ui quite a bit (they are way too big).

Sooo today the Same problem, but now, the Change between C13 and C12 Back. Whats going on?

No idea, best part is that even if i manage to get my char off (and to another server) and log back in.. im stuck again between the Servers on the ship... I guess its the same bug that created multiple copies of your char in the past. But in the past youd just "use them up" every time you spawn. With no bodies left in the game now when you are offline you seem to be stuck in and endless loop.

Did any of you that are stuck have a changes to the beds? Do you have beds appear that got force removed by a patch? Because the list of beds differ on both Servers i try to transfer between.. one has the "new" list of working beds, one (the one i try to travel to) has the old, forece removed beds in the list too...

Scratch that. When i tried to jump to the next sector (different one) i got stuck again. That offline body/bed removal patch really screwed things up...

After spending the night beeing stuck between o8 and a8 the ship was finally back this morning. Now its stuck again between a8 and b8. Seriously... Its really getting old.

Its seems to have something to do with the bed changes.. on one server i have the 2 new beds listed.. on the server i jump to i only see one of those and the 2 old removed ones...

Happened to me also going from o8-o9 on NA/PVE my Galleon appears to be lost. It has been 14 hours now and no response to my ticket. 

Mine was back this morning, in the region i traveled to... Lost 2 NPCs and it was badly damaged. Still has weird acting beds, if you jump to the ship you end up in the water miles behind it. Good luck!

Yes, still broken...

Here is an odd question, any of you that got their ship stuck did you happen to have custom painted sails?

No

Same, stuck between A8 and O8, ship keeps jumping back and forth betweeb those too. No way to spawn on the ship, you land somewhere in the water without a ship.

Yeah, but i dont think that anybody would be able sink ship with heavy stuff, because popcorn last only 2 minutes...

Seen that with an asian galleon parking next to a schooner, lots of popcorn flying and the schooner went down.

As long as you can popcorn heavy stuff onto a ship you still arent in the clear. But its getting there, so yeah...

I hope this comes with some sort of increased protection for PvE.. If all your stuff in an "MMO" depends on a buggy 3 day timer we are all screwed. I get that playing on official servers means a certain commitment, but HAVING to log every 3 days is a joke.

FOY concept is so broken and not sure anyone really wants to raise kids.

Especially with breeding being broken too  I dont really feel like watching them for a few days straight, force feeding them just to watch them freeze to death in the end anyway.

Well in Ark you could just fire up a private Server and be done. Here you are somewhat forced to play official. You have to admit that is a lot harder to run your own Server in Atlas unless you want to play on a very small grid or dish out a ton of money. Even with the mods that fire up the servers you need, still a lot more work.
