Do not sail on ships whose loss you cannot afford.

Dont really think that has anything to do with it

These forums were pumping....

Ahhh good times.

Yo

Well if it helps, there really isnt anything to do on the ocean so you aren't missing much...

Yay 7 day x2 im all for it

Why is there a day 1 video here

Apparently everything is "killing this game"...

If you read the latest captains log, it sounds pretty clearly like some of this stuff is otw, albeit not until March. @Udo I really like the ideas of more creature encounters at sea, and I especially like the idea of appearing and vanishing islands. I think those could be amazing if done right.

Mythical locations to hunt down would be cool 

O man..

Imagine actual npc ships that we could pirate for resources.. i got word a ship is hauling fiber!! Instead we have floating nike shoes everywhere....

Aging isn't a great concept. Not the way it is manifested in a game anyway. 

A bump map, and a debuff. We don't need it. Let us pick what our pirates look like. Don't force us to either be too old, or too young.. And please god.. Don't send us on quests for some obscure fountain in some terribly balanced island whilst holding our character's to ransom 

Aging is a wonderful concept imo. But it was implemented horribly and you age way too fast especially since the way to stop it is so messed up. But to each their own.

I would throw money at anyone who had a full size pvpve server

O you mean the companies with the most ocean claims?

Now im not talking electric or gas powered but mechanical machines that are buildable at higher levels to help harvest. I just dont feel like taming fits the genre here. This is a game about sailing but in reality sailing is nothing more than a way to travel and there is no real focus on it. 

So in stead of taming an elephant for wood why not add some contraption that you attach to an animal like the bull or something to harvest wood and other resources alike. Why not give the ability to create a mine and add npcs to work them for pay of course that slowly gathers metal/rocks over time...? Employees if you will. 

I dunno im just throwing things out there because truthfully i feel like im playing ark again but i just wanna sail but really have no reason to atm.

This will also make the dinghy more viable

Sorta funny how there isnt anything to do on the ocean eh

Im all for it.... 

Wouldnt it be nice to see actual storms, regular rain and snow... hopefully this is in the works eventually

It really does.

How much more weight can you hold?

Last i checked wow was massively successful

Yep, this will pretty much tell you. 4 rocks on the 2x weekend with the 2x base so 4. If you are getting 2 rocks you are just too used to the 2x weekend. Mind you we had 2 weekends in a row of it and it was extended into wednesday of last week so it was honestly more like a week and a half total.

 

Edit: Why are you hand gathering.. get a bear, still like 300+ fiber a swipe. Elephant is 50-60 wood per hit. I still hand gather thatch. Rhino charge into stone 1 hits the stone for a few hundred easy. I would recommend doing tames as soon as feasible.. it's a huge time saver and food too.

The thing is that is not entirely accurate. Individual resources gather rates can be adjusted. 

All i know as of right now is prior to the 2x weekend i was getting 100 wood from the trees right outside my home base walls, during the 2x around 200 and now 50. So something is not adding up here. I also use an elephant to gather wood and these numbers come from using a metal pick. But the point is farming wood one way or another was nerfed.

Well, I know for a fact we were getting around 70 to 90 wood per aged wood tree before this weekend with a metal ax. I won't know until later what it's giving now. 

Report back, please. will be interesting to see what you get.
