I am enjoying the game. I love building and sailing ships. But yeah...it's not even close to EVE. I've lost ships in EVE due to being reckless or not paying attention to who was in the area, but I never lost one just from being offline. And don't get me started on the naked geriatric pilgrimage. The resource allocation looks like they are trying to encourage ship transport, but it isn't fully baked yet. It is still very early EA, but they have a long way to go to capture the spirit of EVE, if that is what they are going for. It is very ARK, which is fine, but yeah - they shouldn't compare it to EVE then.

I haven't figured out any of the weather related commands. I tried some from Ark, but they didn't work. If anyone knows the weather commands, I'd like to know.

I take a sailor's death and drown in the sea...

Does sailing the world grids wrap around? For example, can you sail from A to O and O to A? If so, does this work with custom maps also?

I am having this same issue.

Yes, this is happening again. I watched a couple of storms last night roll in and 'attack' each of my anchored shipped parked in shallow water near the shore. This was broken recently.

Yeah...pillars were abused in many ways in Ark. Not surprised to see it resurface in new ways.

I watched the video. He hit a shallow sandbar, which caused catastrophic damage to his hull. Unfortunately, this is a hazard of boats; many RL boats in the Caribbean sunk this way. He should take this as a lesson learned when he makes the next ship. He had the right idea about having spare hull pieces, but unfortunately, repairing when your ship is already beached is hard to recover.

I don't disagree with the boat protection, but having people get stuck is sloppy. You should be bounced off.

Totally agree with this. We did buy it at a discount, so put it away, play something else, then come back to it after they've made more changes.

Kudos to you then. The rate at which the bow breaks with the fire arrow didn't work out so great with me. My buddy and I were hunting treasure and it broke too rapidly. Can't speak for pvp, but for mobs the fire arrows do less damage than normal arrows. I've abandoned fire arrows for pve mobs.

Have you tried the fire arrow recently? Bow works fine with normal arrows. Try it with normal arrow versus fire arrow.

Actually, I think the game has a lot of promise, and there are a lot of things I like about it. I want them to keep working on it. I disagree with their directional choices, and well, if need be, there are mods for that. I wouldn't go so far as to throw barbs at them. There is a reason why we all bought the game in EA to begin with. They were providing us with something we wanted to play conceptually.

Salty!

Water is key for most, except crocs. Congrats! The fire arrows were nerfed too much. My opinion. If that's complaining, so be it. Anyway, please do show us the legit way. Popcorn is still here for the sharing.
