Any chance of getting this fixed? Its really not fun when "primitive" brigs run away from brigs with legendary sails. In PvP being faster gives you extreme advantage thats why speed sails are so important. Any response if this is even noticed?

You can disable it in options. How is this hard?

It´s not "a bit more" man We for instance pay 1300g/day which is over 9k gold per week. Brig full of crew costs about 220-250g/day. That means owner needs to farm "a bit more" which is like he has 5 full crewed brigs. Im not saying its hard, but its definitely harder and more time consuming than farming 30% more because of tax Stop pretending island owner doesn´t have to do anything and "poor" settlers has to pay. Its nonsense.

You had to acquire those maps somewhere which takes time, you had to sail on that grid which takes time and you had to kill it/dig it. No, u didn't do all of this in 1 hour. U didn't answer me yet, what does settler need to do?

Ye and what is nonowner day routine on PvE? "Oh do I have to login daily and farm gold for maintaining island? Oh no, I dont have to". Owner HAS to pay upkeep every day to keep Settlement, nonowner = settler doesn´t have to do anything. He does not pay upkeep and he does not pay true taxes because they are additive (on PvE) which means he harvests 100%. So tell me who has the better position here? On PvP ok, taxes are a thing. But jesus stop pretending owner doesn´t have to pay anything. Farming gold takes much more time than harvesting 30% more resources. Lets take an example - you farm for 3 hours. Because of taxes you need to sacrifice 30% more time which means approximately 1 hour more. Because of taxes you need to spend 1 hour farming for your owner and 3 hours farming for yourself. Now, imagine my company pays nearly 1300g/day for upkeep 86 points Settlement. Do you think you can farm 1300g in an hour? Count going with a ship from harbor, travel on map locations, get loot, get back. Let me answer this question - you can´t. Owner has to spent much more time farming gold for upkeep than you spend farming with 30% taxes (on PvP). Take your time to understand this and maybe you stop acting like owners don´t need to do anything.

You don´t have to deal with foundation spam from random griefers (most owners clear their islands), you got indirect protection from attack via peace phase because noone goes to attack islands which are in peace phase and moreover you probably (according to owner) have help from owner in case of attack on your island. Not many owners accept attacks on their island even if that attack isn´t against them directly. On lawless you are under attack 24/7 and noone is going to help you. So, that´s it.

Artifact key should definitely be player bound.

You clearly don´t know what you are talking about. At all Get better in game, maybe then you will know what Settlement owner has to do in order to keep Settlement. Until then - stop embarassing yourself

They already tried and failed moreover they are under attack from another mega rn.

You can be attacked normally.

Ye it happens even without painting its hilarious

You can try different island with a different owner. If you cross an asshole owner that does not mean all owners are like this. Actually its quite rare to find asshole like this. If you want a place to live come to i7 EU PvP, we got big, pretty rich island where you can live. We protect our island as a whole.

Hmm, our gally was sunken like this like 10 days ago. It was anchored on our Settlement during peace phase and suddenly itbwas sunk. Dunno then.

Ye its completely logical once you stop in your harbor I and go offline, but stoping on random island for repairs for like 10 minutes? Never mind I didn´t know that trick with an N, thanks Vaenix

How is he toxic in that response? He only said its hard to keep toxic players away and owner needs to have some tools to get rid of them. How did you figure out he is an asshole owner?

Overweight? Too many crew? Stucked crows/seagulls are taken as crew members too. Maybe thats it.

Why do you unseat all those NPCs?

You can be outside of barrier to get it. Just go as close as you can, barrier does not damage your ship so go basically into it and just wait.

Oh sorry guys, my bad. I didn't read the latest patch notes.

Its called progression. Its an mmo genre. You can leech Kraken on a sloop as solo. Or you can group up and defeat him by yourself. If you are too lazy to even go with your sloop to the barrier and leech Kraken don't blame devs. Megacompanies only, lol you got no clue man, no fuckin clue what you need to defeat Kraken. MMO won't be balanced around asocial solo players like you, never. Accept it or just leave it.

I have no problems with shooting NPCs from sails/cannons/swivels.

We did tests. It doesn't work. 3 brigs, all 52% weight, 3x100%, 3x104% and 3x120% max velocity speed sails, speed across half a sector totally same. Ye I was feeling really fast with my legendary sails until chasing brigs with common speeds in battle and figuring out I can't catch anyone. That led me to tests and here we are.

You should set your battle phase earlier. More people play at night than early afternoon.

Well firearms are meant primarily for PvP, if you are playing PvE, sorry, but firearms won´t ever be balanced around PvE. If you want to kill animals, get bow and arrow or tames.

Its highly debatable since better quality speed sails don´t work rn (max. sail velocity stat doesn´t work). I wonder if like legendary handling sail isn´t better choice than common speed sail. Tests needs to be done
