rope ladders are extremely useful for getting into anything bigger than a dinghy. Bigger ships have at least 5 snap points for them. Fore and aft on each side and one astern.

Ships automatically come with one at the back, or at least aloops do. Jump up on the back, look down and hold E. Tada magjcal invisible ladder!!!

Yes you can log out in the ocean, it hasnt been mentioned if creatjres will go into stasis as theh did in ark or not.

But logging out in tbe deep means any shios of the dammed can freely fire upon you

Considering 90% of us got stiffed while 10% made out like a bandit and gobbled up almost all the claimable land, I was wondering if there's been any news yet on resetting the servers back to zero.  It's morally unethical not to and something that will go down in gaming history as a major tragedy never to be forgotten.

Essentially 90% of us funded the game so that the 10% can enjoy it, and that's an utter disgrace.

They wont wipe it for that reason alone, they might have to wipe the servers though if its to impliment a major fix. Which would be a win win. Also what Hodo says about islands is actually true to some degree, i visited an island which was owned by a group of players, and when i say group i mean two. The fear factor is that you cant tell how many actually own the land without investigating.... or just going balls to the wall and claiming the territory.

Give it until the end of january, that us when the real land grab will start because by then large groups will be established, and the smaller grouos will fall away under their might. A few small groups might be able to ohtplay larger ones but it can only work for so long sadly.

Apparently you just look at them and press comma "," dno if they can be assigned to mortars but apparently they can

explodingyeti your idea would literally break the game, imagine a tribe of 50, they kick one kf their own and give him a boat, the other 49 jump on his boat and since it doesnt add to the overweight they can just sail off without any weigh restrictions. Put the boat near max and let them carry the rest.

I do agree it needs to be fixed but doing it that way is not a solution sadly

Caveat that is an amazing thing to know. Wish i had known that after finding out i couldnt climb intk my boat lol

Solo play is viable, but if your going around hitting people then it isnt because all your doing is poking a hornets nest whilst your in a small room. Obviously they will retaliate, mortars are bugged allowing a person to shoot multiple times using only one ball.

I play solo (was about to play with friends but the game isnt working) i have a small base on a lawless land which has enough planks etc to build myself another sloop/schooner if mines sinks which is has because i havnt been on to repair it.... my base is compact enough that its just ignored, AI crew are insanely useful, and heck traxing with other players makes the rest easier and also adds the risk of being shot.

Also like Cheesey there are tonnes of islands that welcome players, in the end they get a cut of what you gather and having someone else on the island helps if the island get attacked. Believe me when someome comes to hit an island they aint gonna be picky everyone on the island is a target. 

It kinda depends on how you use them, if you keep them overnight they eill become expensive because thats at least 6 gold per night per person when your not playing. AI will defend themselves, your property etc using weapons they have (not tested bht i heard thats the case). You can level your ship so that instead of it being 1 gold per hour it can increase to 1 gold every hour and a half etc. Might not seem like a lot but hey it adds up

Sailing shils has been designed for solo players, heck you can technically build them yourself, i havnt built anything aolo bigger than a schooner but id be able tk get the skills for it.

The reason for the skill barrier is most likely to encourage players to try to trade/plunder the loot they need, i mean if your like me, I usually get other people to craft me armour because i cant, but i have not needed a skill to wear angthing unless it is higher than common. Although i have only used hide and cloth armours cuz i dont really bother about armour

Not everyine likes to be trolls, I just ignore them, but eventually the ban hammer will fall on them. Which I find funny because they pay for a game, then they cannot play it, then they usually buy it again, which means the gaming company makes money for very little effort haha

Yeah i was also playing solo up until two days ago, currently its been 48 hours since i could last logon so probably lost everything. But I managed to solo build my sloop in about 2 hours on a tundra island. So believe me, in normal areas fibre isnt an issue. Sailing solo is pretty easy and i sailed solo on my schooner with several AI crew, which i found a lot easier to control than i was expecting. And tbh i think 10 ships controlled by 10 people with their entire crews being AI will be better than having 1 ship with 10 plager crew, mainly because of how in sync you can make the ai versus trying to coordinate multiple players. I finally got some friends on and our plan was to build 3 schooners and mow down ships of the dammed, 1 sxhooner with 5 cannons firing can take then out fairly easily with some damages, so 3 schooners would just rip them apart. I also expect a lot of pvp will be fought with a solo person using the ship, muktiple ships, nd excess players will board enemy ships

I already lodged a massive complaint. Yes its EA bt if they dont communicate with players then whatz the point. Ea theh are meant to work with the players not shit all over them4

Lol someone got really drunk on new years

Pity i cant buy one... cuz i cant get in the goddam server

Amy news on if it fixed it?

Food will probably give you benefits to fortitude, currently having a balanced diet gives 40.

If you have 60 people then some should put more points into weight than others, or make multiple trips. These are the same people who made ark where you cant respect at all once you hit max level (Mayb you can after defeating all the bosses I donno). It use to be you could everytime you ate a certain item, then they capped that to once per level. People complained and they didn't do anything and sadly they wont do that here either. There will be ways to augment your stats etc. Besides Once you reach a certain age your character will probably die and then you will be level 1 again (I don't know if that is what happens but it sure as hell wouldn't surprise me.

How are you gonna respec at max level then? 

At max level you would either trade someone for an item you need if your solo, or have a friend learn different things from you. Plus you can also get blueprints for virtually everything but that would be a massive grind. But I suspect the respec will be removed once they are happy with the skills balance. Thus forcing you to either team up with others, confront others with violence, or resort to trading. Also there is a trading vessel but I do not know what they actually sell other than a dragon

Respeccing should not be once per level but once per hour / day... I have no reason to up / powerlevel cause i'd be wasting respecs. 

In ARK you could craft an item but it was only once per level, I rather prefer the fact that I can respect when I level, but I wouldn't complain if I could respect once per in real life day

Sadly i gave not been able to play for almost 18 hours now, i am also stuck at the Primalgamedata_bp. Nothing that has been suggested works. And the server is up because i have friends on it. I have lost a boat which isnt a big issue but the lack if communication of any kind from the devs us a major issue. Seriously. Nothing from them at all since the new year and so many servers have not been working nevermind the large amout of people who are having the same issue as me.
