5 hours ago, gadefence said:Boats are supposed to be unaffected by speed until 50%.
So a speed lvl ship would try to stay under 50% weight.That doesnt seem to be the case, my ship is definently slower than our cargo brig even when i am 30% and its at 20%.

A wipe but keep discovery points would be good. I dont mind being level 1 again but id hate to have to sail to almost 100 islands to get back to where I was. And i pity those who have been to more.
-
I also agree about the discovery points. I could honestly survive if i lost the ones for the power stones and whales, but if i have to sail to all those islands again, find the points again and sneak into bases again I think i will end up being stuck at a low level.... I do not see why the discovery points need to be reset. Alsp now there are more discovery points than there is for max level, is the level gonna increase or will the amount of points needed per level increase....

Also weoght on a boat affects the speed on the boat, so the higher the weight the faster the boat.
If a boat is at 10% of its weight, it will travel at 90% of its maximum speed. So lets use a brig thats at 7500/15000 weight and a brig at 10000/20000 weight. They will both go at the same speed even though one is carrying 2.5k more. But if the second brig was carrying the same 7500 weight it would become faster. My battle brig is at 20k weight and fully armed etc it reaches just over 10.5k weight. So its pretty fast.

Chances are the discovery points are on a table, so they would only be adding to them.
In all honesty i think that the suggestion to keep the discovery points is a very simple and a welcome thing. Even if it was only the discovery points from landfall and exploration and require you to once again kill whales and do powerstones that would be ok because it doesn't take a fee hundred hours to do those. But sailing from A to B and all the way through to Z multiple times after already having done it would be a killer. Starting at level 1 and having to earn the exp to get up would be completely fine by me. Getting boats etc and evedything else are relatively easy, but sailing is not especially when hostiles like to block you from doing that.

3 minutes ago, Tillman said:Also to your point. A lot of players will come back because of this. All my friends that quit are really excited about the wipe and are planning on coming back. So there’s 2 sides to the coin.
I agree about some people coming back, but I reckon a lot of those people who have left before will probably leave again.
-
I honestly dont see the point in 10x either, a large portiom of people will probably stop playing. Which means you might end up being one of the only people sailing on a server versus people who are either doing the same and missing you or people like me who would just spend it building new things to test it out. Which us what I do already.

You get bhffs the first 5 times you do it apparenttly. After that the only benefit is to stoo the old age debuff which you should still get, it just doesnt show it on the bottom right now.

14 hours ago, boomervoncannon said:Came to pretty much the same conclusion. Low levels not worth the ammo expense.
Actually low level ones are usually the best for smaller groups, wifh the possibility of getting fines that seem to go up to 130% versus the horrifying masterworks makes the fines seem very good.
In all honesty I shoot all ships of the dammed, and there is never enough, recently even the power stone areas have none or almost none making it quite frustrating as I would ideally love a mastercraft or legendary blueprint which is actually good. I think my best was a journeyman medium cannon with just under 160% damage.

I assume you havnt seen the legendary galleon in EU PVP with over 60k HP per plank then.... to put that into perspective thats over 400%, not 30%. Will take a lot more than 1 or 2 salvos for that.... and thats only for legendary, mythical could be even higher. So far the best I have gotten is a 200% which I could get up to about 250% if i get a semi decent roll on the crafts.
But to get those sort of blueprints you literally need to be killing thousands of ships of the damned.

On 2/25/2019 at 7:16 PM, Nokim said:it does make a difference im lvl 64 now, i have put all points into int to craft bps. the highest i have seen is +9%crafting bonus and that seems rare to get. i can get +6% crafting pretty easy +8%not so commonly.
At level 64 you should have about 364% int right? You should be able to get up to 12-14 or somewhere in that range. Try to look for gear that says Intelligence x10%. Obviously replace the 10 with whatever it says. If you do get one though with that 10% you wil get an additional 36.4% intelligence which is nice. If you get 5 pieces like that then your looking at nearly 200% added on top.

On 2/25/2019 at 9:38 AM, Forb Hidden said:I craftet epic bows yesterday. First without a int buff = 160% dmg like in the bp.
Then I had a crow on my shoulder and crafted 4 more bows with a bonus between 0.4...0.9% because of intelligence.
Best bow with 163,9% by 0,9% int bonus. Upgraded to Max (lvl6) and I get around 174% dmg now. Deals with a regular shot 66dmg. Not bad for a cheap bow
If your base intelligence is low then the ceiling for bonus will be low as well sadly, even with a crow it would still not be worth it. I have over 500% and so far the highest I have seen is 19.8%. About 700 should give you +30% bonus.
Just to let you know unless you ha e like a level 80 crow diving into water for a dolphin buff is better as it gives you 50 int versus the crows level based int.

Sadly i am the opposite, i hardly find any now and I have bee hunting them in the power stone areas. Sadly not a single one in ages. If i am lucky i find one though thats low level which sucks.

Ok so everyone here seems to have different opinions etc. Below is actual fact etc.
1. Intelligence only affects crafts made from a blueprint.
2. Intelligence does NOT affect the upgrades as the values for the upgrades are a % of the base value. Example would be that I bave near 500 with my gear on, and my friend has the base 100 and the upgrade is the same value.
3. The value of intelligence is lost on lower stat blueprints, for instance i get up to about 20% crafter bonus when i craft. If i were to use that on a 105% common carbine the gain will be very small but if i were to craft my 168% and get 20% crafter bonus then the amount will be far larger
4. Intelligence only increases the higher end of the crafts, sadly you can still get 0.0% bonus.
5. Items that can stack can be used to reroll stats snd once your happy with one you keep it in the crafting station/inventory and any after thag will be exactly the same.
6. You can use crafting gear to recraft/upgrade the same crafting gear multiple times to try and get better crafts. Example would be craft some good gloves and if you roll high, upgrade them and continue to craft the same gloves over and over. Get better ones and uograde those, so on so forth.
If you need any clarification or help please let me know.

Yeah i mean we had it happen as well by several different groups who were allies. Pretty sure the alliance has portuguese, russian, turks and english. So yeah not just the chinese.

I definently think that a cow/bull etc should be able to pull a heavily laden cart to help transport materials for trade etc further inland.
Seagulls would be great if they could fly around your boat and alert you to shipwrecks in your area, as well as land.
Crow would be interesting if it had an additional perk to maybe find odd shiny objects or detect objects you could gather with a shovel.
The biggest thing i would like fixed is when a creature enters your boat they sometimes get stuck in a falling animation which requjres me to usually break apart half my boat or risk teleporting it onto another boat which can cause them to insta die or fly into the sky.

At least the length of a brigantine, my box is at the very back of my boat and the swivel guns on top at the front still get ammunition. Thags about all i can offer though

Anything bigger than a sloop can easily outrun the ships of the damned. Unless your going directly into the wind.

I used to own an ARK server, and you can change most of the settings whilst it Is live, so the change can happen suddenly, but currently it is not live as I am sure everyone has noticed
Edit - Guy above beat me

@Jatheish i appreciate your updates! You are the dev i look to for all info on twitter! Please keep up the updates!
If possible could you please confirm if the entire company is wiped when this happens or if it is only certain players from the company?

Will there be a wayto force ships out of loading when they are stuck between servers? We bave a few brigantines which are stuck between them and if we spawn on the bedsit causes us to choose another spawn point.

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone knew how tbe AI crew steer a ship?? I know you can make them steer but how do they know where to go etc!
