lol are you kidding me? during hte 9 hour window you have more than enough warning and understanding to prevent a raid, git gud or rip

Pretty much the tittle, add better building parts and defensive structures, thicker wall segments with battlements that can be added that start our as a skeleton (much like the boat) but count as one segment of a larger thicker wall that you can customize with gun ports inner walkways,stairs, rooms etc etc.

get out of here if you have nothing constructive to add to the conversation child.

well said

gotta hand it to the devs, they seem very involved and seem like they want to listen to the community and change things according to what the majority of the player base wants to do.

Why not wipe the servers in a week rather than the end of the month? and why announce the wipe a month before? just rip the band aid off and wipe the servers.

i agree, the devs should make it more accessible through a mission or just a simple unlock with skill points.

Our coms are quite relaxed and organized and the rate in which new members join our company and remain active is quite consistent actually, you seem like somebody who is incredibly bummed out because his or her tiny group of 4 or 5 friends couldnt get a foothold or got constantly wiped because they couldnt handle the game how it was and id imagine when the new system comes out you will still get wiped, infact judging by your overall attitude towards how large groups (and almost all smaller ones) play the game i bet you and whoever you play with wont keep ownership of an island for very long after the wipe and just end up quitting the game or living on lawless.

lol gitgud nub go play on a private server with custom rates?

I think the devs should just give us more options to defend against offline raiding, like defensive towers or some crazy golden age tech that bubbles your island or something, we dont need hand holding with this raiding time crap and war declarations, those are made on the open seas or when some tiny group of assholes raid one of your outposts or sink your boats in harbor , 90% of us come from hardcore survival games, we all know the time that needs to be put into games like this and we all know how hard we all have to work to maintain and keep the things we work so hard to build. Thank you devs for considering the little guy in your pvp changes but i think a better change can be figured out that benefits everyone for pvp. @Jatheish

Amen.

lol Maybe so but id wager in that scenario the pvp servers would be mostly dead a month after wipe, but i guess we will see where this all goes. I doubt the devs want their core audience to just move on to another game. But maybe im wrong! who knows at this point.

then perhaps you should find a new game? but i do agree the grind should be greatly reduced so you can just hop in and get stuff done but not so much as its incredibly easy and requires no time at all.

completely reasonable but thats what pve is for, and im not trying to be toxic when saying that, its just a more relaxed casual forgiving experience. PVP is and always should be a time sink.

The war system and timers on pvp and offline raiding sound like absolutely trash, some of the most fun ive ever had in this game were launching sneak attacks on enemy harbors and having them try to funnel out in a panic to meet us in battle, or defending against people trying to offline raid us but catching them in the middle and beating them back, honestly it sounds like everyone complaining about pvp as it is right now needs to seriously get better at the game or move to pve for a more relaxed experience. So what? you dont have the time to invest in the game? fair enough the devs should reduce the grind dramatically to compensate but changing the core mechanics because it supports offline raiding or attacking harbors to destroy enemy ships? give me a break, this is an extremely poor design choice for pvp and although i appreciate how interested the devs are in trying to fix issues i dont think any of these changes are going to really solve anything, And Offline raids are a thing because all of you smaller groups popcorn everything when bigger groups try to online raid you! i think the devs need to start paying a bit more attention to how the game is played at the top rather than listening to the 50 players at the bottom that cant get a foothold because they are unable to or unwilling to invest the time necessary to ensure they wont get wiped while they are offline. PVP in hardcore survival games isnt for everyone, thats why there is always an option to join a bigger group, or just playing pve for a more relaxed experience. My clan takes in all sorts of players, pvpers pvers and everyone in between because both types are absolutely necessary when you play PVP. I seriously hope the devs think a bit harder about the changes before the big wipe day and change them according to feedback before people invest time into building, maintaining islands and waging war.
