You can´t kill owner of the Settlement during those immunity times. Which means you can still land on Settlement during those times and kill everyone else there (like companies which live under owner etc.). And you can ofc pvp all the time on lawless / unclaimed islands or outside of Settlements (ship fights will be still nonstop). There will be timer for getting invulnerability so if u start attacking ships on the sea they can´t just go to Settlement harbor and be immune.

Are u mentally healthy?

Oh true. If they take care of griefers (blocking resource spawns with pillars/foundations etc.) it will be ok i guess. Everyone will be able to play anywhere. Edit: I don´t think griefers will place repair structure and keep it filled with resources for repairing btw.

Claim system totally changes. There are new rules for building in Settlements etc. This just has to be wiped. And many players duped items, used exploits etc. Wipe has to come with patch like this. New fresh start for everyone with much better possibilities to claim land will result in many people coming back.

Smaller tribe claims smaller, less valuable Island. It wont have a high upkeep. We don´t know how high upkeep is so.

No it sounds like they want even smaller tribes to have an Island ... They want to reduce the amount of Island MEGATRIBES hold.

Why don´t u claim your Island? There is gonna be 1200 Islands ... Btw why should your landlord raid u? U presume someone acts totally illogical ...

What weak points for instance?

Content locked behind doing something is pretty normal in MMOs. U want to progress? Work for it. Kraken is perfectly killable with 3 ships so where is that disadvantage of smaller tribes? It takes longer to collect everything needed for summoning him? Oh man, why would people create companies with 50 members if they could kill Kraken with the same effort with 3 people? MMOs always give priority to teams of players. It´s the concept of MMO. Why do players always want everything for free? Do World of Warcraft players all enjoy end game content? Not at all. Because if u don´t want to work for it you simply won´t get that.

They are adding 200 more Islands to the game. They are adding upkeep which needs to be paid to run an Island. Which basically means big companies will have less islands because why the heck should they pay for running islands they don´t use? It means smaller tribes will still be able to claim their island. Everyone and their mom will spawn in some tropical areas to claim land after wipe. Spawn in tundra and claim an Island, it will be peace of cake. Don´t forget there will be about 1100+ Islands to claim.

End of war before war begins? When war begins you can place mortars / puckels / swivels / cannons in no time and are able to defend them so.

I think its pretty clear. An island which has been claimed is now known as a Settlement It means Settlement is a whole island.

Settlement is a whole Island.

It is connected with unclaimed Islands. OP was talking about raiding Settlements. On nonSettlement Islands you can build everything including mortars anytime u want.

You can´t harm owner of the Island in any way during invulnerability period. He can. How do u stop him from destroying your puckles when u can´t harm him?

Well owner of that Island will be able to destroy all your puckles during invulnerability period and u will have no way how to protect it so ... No It won´t work like u think it will.

Actually you will be able to claim land much easier since people will need to pay upkeep for their Settlement. That means much less flag spamming and megacompanies holding 20 Islands.

You bought PvP game and you are complaining about what? Solution for offline raiding? Can you please tell me where is pvp in offline raiding? Protection from offline raiding means much more online action = much more PvP. If you just want to destroy someone while he is offline then sorry, you are just a griefer. It has nothing to do with PvP.

How do you counter offline raiding when you are not online? Teach me sir Because there are no defensives in the game which are able to stop offline attack. But tell me, im really curious. So again? Give me tips against offline raiding or offline ship griefs.

Another night, another 4 a.m. raid. Even I am done (and I am reeeally patient) with this game until some sort of offline resistance buffs come. Or some sort of defensives which are actually able to hold attackers for some time before people come online. This is ridiculous. We've rebuild our ships so many times now, we've tried every sort od defence but there is nothing in this game which can resist a fuckin cannon bear. This meta when 95% of raids happen offline will be the end of Atlas, at least for official PvP servers. There is no pvp in this shit. After nearly 400 hours I am finally done. For now. Had a really good time in Atlas but now its only offline raids / griefs and rebuilding. Btw im not playing alone, I play in a 140 people company and we are able to rebuild pretty quick. Its just too much to rebuild all the time. Its not a PvP game how it meant to be.

All u need in Atlas is being online 24/7. So that´s why it´s hard? No. How hard the game is has nothing to do with offline protection m8. People just don´t want to lose everything while being offline. Are they bad because they are not online 24/7? I am in a tribe with 140 people, we still suffer from "1 person with a cannon bear" offline grief without being able to do anything because in this game there are no offline defensives yet. You can do whatever amount of puckles/cannons/balistas/swivel guns, 1 person with a cannon bear will still sink your ships in no time. This state of game isn´t "hard", it´s stupid design which leads to people leaving this game. That´s a fact and it has nothing to do with difficulty of game.

Ye small cannons and gunports are pretty much useless now.

Sorry but this seems like lack of experience or simply carelessness.

Maybe you should stop going with full loaded ship? I would expect that from someone who has 600 hours in game ... lol

Why do you build galleon as a solo player jeesus
