The fast auto decay is such a stupid fuck ... unplayable for humans that need sleep from time to time ....
I built a sloop yesterday, had every piece of stuff in it... With building, sailing for treasures etc. this took me the whole day...
My company dont own land until now, so my only option was to bring it in a free port over night ... because i have to sleep from time to time in real life ^^
I slept for 7 hours ... weird enough that i start the game immediatly after waking up - only to see the stupid ship sinking before my eyes !!! There was no time for repairing anymore...
I hit alt+f4 ... and lost all fun for playing
There is appearently a function for the npc-crew to repair ... i tried to do this ... bought a crew, have given them ressources and had also ones in the ship ressources chest ... But like so many things it is broken, or not implemented - and there is not a single describtion how things are supposed to work... They will wait until external websites and fanboys do their work for them .. like in ark ...
And please Wildcard fanboys - i dont need your comments that its my fault when i go in a free port ... I mean i was there just because i have to fucking sleep from time to time ... double the auto decay timer and people can log off without lossing their stuff overnight...
Nobody from the devs cares about anything ... We have seen that with the launch already ... Players invest hours for hours in this game .. and loose everything only because the developers dont think enough about things ... same with the million ships of the damned ... why why why where there so many of them - what are you thinking when you implement things in that way??... there is no other reason then they wanna kidding their players ... or why are there lvl 168 alpha creatures right on the starter islands? Why wildcard why? That are no bugs .. that is only stupidness and a lack of caring and thinking for players!!
