I have also lost my FoY buff, unsure what caused it, but my buddy said he had it in his stat list as rejuvination or something +1. I don't have that or anything that indicates that my character has been to the FoY, but I did it. Also every time I have respected since going to the FoY it has disconnected me when I reapply points into skills.

I don’t want to leave, I really enjoy this game, but I’m tired, lol.

Sorry for your confusion, let me clarify. I am not saying that 2 people should be able to take out two galleons. However if I had blasting barrels that would of been possible as I swam under those boats a number of times. I am saying that we’ve not gotten a moments rest. We’ve gotten zero chance to build up enough to make any kind of progress that would allow for us to even have a foot to stand on in PvP. I don’t mind that these guys came to grab resources from the island and we played a game of hide and seek and strategy to get them to move on. That’s part of the game. I stayed up all night doing this, laying in the grass. If they had found me and killed me, wiped the island as they said they would, then cool good game, you won. As you can see from the picture, I have nothing. Nothing in which to fight back with, so I played smart. Sorry if that was confusing for you.

I love the size of the official server, I love the ability to go to a sector of the map where no one has heard of you. I love pvp. My experience thus far however has been that there are 2 of us verses two galleons. I can only do so much. Here if you need a little pic, I’ll give you proof. Me and a buddy holding off a large company from taking land. This is after they contacted me over Discord and tried to threaten/bully their way to getting what they wanted.

I started playing close to the beginning, not during the first couple of days, but I heard about that mess. Instead I came in with a buddy of mine and we struck out with some friends. We did the typical ark/Minecraft/smackatreeforwood game stuff, gathered our butts off, build ships and then went to bed. Ships got sunk and we log in to gathering again building another ship that we got to sail for a little before it also got sunk. We gather again while thinking about striking out on our own and we do. Tried to team up with another group that we thought would bring in more people, but no one logged on and we farmed up ships and we took them out and had a lot of fun, but then when it became just us who were getting on we decided to leave, so they offered for me to take the ship that we gathered and built. I went to take the ship and they kicked me before I could get it to a safe place to claim and killed me, in return we took ram-shackle sloops and sailed them into the harbor to slam into that ship till it sunk. That was probably the most fun I’ve had in this game. Moving on, we farm more stuff, we make more ships, but no matter where we go, our ships get sunk while we are offline, we come back to nothing. Starting over again and again had always been the Ark way, until they implimented the offline lock, if someone was offline for however many hours, then you could strike, but right now there is nothing to aid people or groups that are smaller from being able to survive a night. My buddy and I have pulled a month of all nighters trying to keep land and ships and tames from being killed, I’ll speak for myself, I’m burnt out. I love sailing, I love being a pirate, but if these larger companies that have so much more manpower than me and the 4-5 other people I play with just wait till we are offline to raid. Then that’s no fun for anyone, there is no PvP, there is no challenge, there is just opportunists who further make it impossible for any feeling of hope or adventure or anything. If I had one request, please watch this. Understand that the mechanics and how ‘punishing’ your game is to its player is what drives the negative ratings. https://youtu.be/hmEa-YAcFk8 I’m going to be stepping away from this game for a little and hope that at somepoint down the line it becomes less about large companies, which reminds me of EVE, and more about pirates.

Turmeric, Aloe, and other 'medicinal herbs' can be used Rice seeds, potato seeds, any vegetable can be used for the seeds Sap and fiber for the Organic paste and Hide It took a little for me to find what worked and what didn't. I will say that the mini-game for the medkit is alright, you have to be strategic with it because it makes the character you're working on unable to move lest they make the kit fail to heal.

Also, age slower, so you don't have people getting bonuses and bonuses and bonuses to their character so quickly that they out balance other players by such a wide margin that again it makes the game no fun to play.
