Again, that may not be so easy to fix.  What if they're just 1 under being encumbered?  Do you still allow that grappling hook to work? How about climbing picks?  What about zipline anchors?  At what point do you say those things won't work?  50%?  Well, ok, so it takes twice as many of them.

Grappling hooks/Climbing picks dont have to work on ships you dont own in general in PvE.

pretty much, also if they're over weight, which if they allowed will add another exploit which we had before

So again, it's not as easy and straight forward as we would like it too be.

Make sure you cant hold onto a grapple hook when overcumbered. And another one they abuse would be gone. But hey... We get new "features" like the foy shoved down our throat that no one asked for. Priorities.

i think it's an easier said than done. Also that means they will jump on your ship and log-out, meaning your ship won't be usable anymore. it's better, but still exploitable.

Well.. make it so you can handcuff/cage non company players that logout on your ship and bam.. new feature and profession.

This seems like a no brainer for a MMO built around sailing ships.

 

Would also have been a no brainer to make sure you cant overweight exploit sink them  Guess i wouldnt hold my breath..

What is so damn hard about just not letting anchored ships sink with overweight and instead pin them down? No way to exploit it and faster than the current crappy "fix" that only brought problems. Makes you wonder if any of them even play this game. 

Yes, in numbers, level and speed.

They are forming Conga lines in the tundra regions... Getting a bit out of hand...

At the absolute least they should have reset everyone's age back to 20 so we had time to prepare for this. To just spring it on the community, when most of our characters are already 90+ is just nonsense.  

This.

It's such a bad move by them to make us get major nerfs because of our age, when they didnt gave us the possibilty to get younger or to reproduce until today. Waited with that for another month and did it in the february update. Such a bad move.

Shows how disconnected they are from the playerbase and whats going on.

Änder in den Optionen die Belegung um die Konsole zu öffnen.. halt auf "Ö" oder irgendetwas dass nicht belegt ist..

Guess with the patch that was supposed to be here 3+ hours ago

You DO realize this game has just started being developed, Right?

You've got another 2 years (announced estimate of "Early Access" duration) to have your unrealistic expectations dashed against the rocks if not.

Seriously, If I were in charge of a game in development I would NOT take this phase to the public, but run closed testing with a group of experienced beta testers.

Oh i was wondering when the first "EA is the greencard for everything" copy and paste would come up.

Now think a second about why they actually take this "phase" to the public.

Good to know the reason they are removing weight reduction buff off elephants is because of all the "weight bugs" aka none really that the PVE players have been crying for weeks.  Congratulation ladies you asked for it, devs fixed it for you.  You literally f'ed everybody that plays this game because you fail to keep people off your boats in PVE server.

 

Amazing tbh

How would a weight reduction buff of an elephant play into this? How many of those have you seen clinging on to ladders recently?

- Removed Elephant having weight reduction for Wood.

 

thanks, thats what we needed

No time for building anymore! You will be hunting for the fountain of youth from now on

It moves every 50 days in game... so roughly every week.  Everyone isnt going to be in the SAME spot.  First it has to be found.

Still piles up players in a poorly optimized game that cant handle more than a few players in one spot.

So... in a game that cant handle more than a few players in one spot.. you decided to make sure they all have to be at the same spot at the same time. And that timing is brilliant with the average player already being above or close to 90. Not to mention that we all reached 90+ in under a month, so we will have to do that a lot...

Are you actively trying to kill this game off? Just say so, saves us all some time.

Beautiful... pages over pages about concerns the playerbase has for example about alphas, wildlife, flags or exploits... and the reaction seems to be to add an alpha Dolphin  

And down they are again, at least parts.

Most of them id say. They didnt adress at least one way of doing it it seems, but it is at least a lot harder now.

no worries man devs more worried about helping PVE RP servers with "weight" issues over actual game breaking game mechanics like flags.

 

Getting your ships sunk over and over again overnight is somehwat gamebreaking aswell.

This isnt an issue yet as the overweight patch just came out but I can already see potential problems and new exploits.

Since no one can board ships and rafts without special permission, if I was a betting pirate,  I would  think that a certain eastern culture of people will start to set up raft/ramshackle sloop blockades and literally block in everyone. With no way to move other players ships all someone has to do is make a row of ships and rafts to block someone from leaving the island or prevent ships from getting close.

A bit far fetched, dont you think? The weight exploit needed a fix, this is at least a start. 

According to a topic i read here somewhere: asign a NPC to the helm, look towards the back of the ship, tell the NPC to go the direction you look.

Didnt try it myself tho. Good luck

No you dont. Pretty easy to test.. go to a different map/server and you wont even see the taxation % when you enter the other territory. 

Check if you can still see the ship icon on the map, even if sunk it should still show  Good luck
