Bad Penny

haha I love it

what server and tax rate?

also what climate/biome?

I have been trying to free tame the elephant, I have watched videos of people taming them. I get the option to feed but when you press E, nothing happens.

Great, good for you. That has not been my experience at all, just like many other people if you read the other posts about it. And good for you that you have a farm island when players like me can't even plant a single flag. We are not even playing the same game.

I don't bother reading your posts anymore unless you qoute me, all you ever say is its alpha and everything is fine. I stopped reading after you said "As for the elephant taming: It’s easy, people need to stop whining about it." Because you clearly have no idea.

My OP is useful feedback. It shows the devs around how much of their* systems an average player can endure before they quit their early access game.

I don't think you are in a position to say anything on the matter, if you have not had these bad experiences with the game you don't know what you are talking about and can't add anything.

Its classic cognitive dissonance. Imo the game need a lot of systems completely rewritten and rethought out.

I just wanted to add that a very large portion of the players still playing are playing on PRIVATE servers not the official game servers. Most of the zones I sailed through (over 20) had around 10 or less players in the zone. the most i saw in one zone was around 25 players.

Exactly, and no incentive whatsoever to not kill everyone you see I guess for most people still playing. The developers maybe need to look at what made eve online successful and try to copy some of that stuff, idk. Right now, the only thing that would make me play it again is if there were free crafting stations in the free port, something to make it more easy to restart.I could respec into explosive barrels and make a suicide raft to go get some revenge. Trying to sloop around and progress has been the worst experience ever.

wat? anyways, great, thx for your opinion.

First the things that arnt fun. Falling on another persons raft or boat makes me have to punch suicide to get off of it. Trying to tame an Elephant for 3 weeks and still can't feed the damn thing. Still can't find any land, camped out on lawless. Toxic players. (git gud l2p) Spending hours at sea traveling. Waiting over a a full minute for my items on my hot bar to re-equip, 30 seconds to reload 2 pistols etc. Being Bola'd and rooted in pvp. Joining a company and they don't let you destroy your own buildings, leave company. Shooting Crocodile with cannon, Crocodile laughs, kills you through hull of the ship. Junk loot, worthless crafting patterns etc. Giant stone gates everywhere. Spending hours for days building a ship only to have it sunk due to a bug. (schooner flipped and exploded) Everything related to aging and FoY. Broken skills. (all the bow skills are broken for me) no plus damage etc. PVE = no war. PVP = too much war My pvp experience: Build RS Sloop. travel across 13 zones looking for place to set up, looking for company etc. get blown up by brig with 14 large cannons. Spawn in freeport try again, rinse repeat 5x. I'm level 38 on PvP. In all that time only one group wanted to let me join their co. nobody had a place for me to build, every player I met tried to kill me or destroy my ship. Completely wiped out and started from scratch 5 times at least, a few times I managed to set up a shipyard and build a better boat but that didn't help at all really. My pve experiance: Me asking myself, whats the point of this? I could go on and on but wont bother, just needed to vent. K bye

YES, this is exactly it

It would have been nice if they went for a factional war system in this game, say like 4 factions and your company has to ally with 1
