uli

and that’s how they should stay leave them as they are regular players may want to join up later and claim one of the larger islands , or as game progresses larger company’s may join , why should tiny company’s get to claim and entire large island ...

needs to stay as it is 

no just east tundra islands had a graphical overhaul, there are no new biomes ,

not sure what u were expecting 

not gonna play out much different to colonies server , fastest will get an island to own rest of us will be paying them for the rights to build there , stupid system should never have been an option

It served its purpose as a distraction from the fact they had nothing to release that week?  And know that are busy revamping the game they do not have time to promote/support an official map mod program like Ark?

i’m inclined to agree with u , my other theory is they won’t release it as players would just run their own small server and play single player

Then I don't believe you're doing it correctly. The clearall batch file literally just deletes the database file which redis reads from.

this is correct , no way u can still have all your buildings and players after using the clear all as the old database is deleted fully

I agree, but i seem to recall reading somewhere that this is a feature of the new system. Spawn in any grid and everything visible on the map.  You will still need to make landfall for the name of the island.

i am unable to spawn in any grid only at freeport , even at char creation only option freeport

WTF, where is PTS or must you all waste more of my time with yet another delay?

 

Shut up troll , it's just gone midnight in the Devs timezone people do have lives and need sleep , 

As long as the Devs are making the new content more sea based it's all good 

They need to get away from. Tames this isn't ark , 

More ships , more ways to customise them , more sea based areas , more sea monsters 

STOP WITH ADDING MORE LAND TAMES AND LAND CONTENT ,AND CONCENTRATE ON SEA BASED ADVENTURE CONTENT

Aren't you able to do these with out the sub?  I thought you could do these with the diving suit also,  but would be easier with the sub.

 

the sub was advertised as for salvaging then they announce procedurally generated shipwrecks doesn’t take a lot to work out they go hand in hand 

yes u can use diving suit early game before u get the skill points / lvl to make the submarine , same as farming i start off the long way by hand then tools then tames , it’s called progression

You can kill the kraken solo, there is a you tube vid of a person doing in a gall by himself. Also seen reports from multiple people they have done it or know of people doing it solo. You can also just join a group of people doing it, if you are by yourself and cant. I am not saying it is easy just it is doable, because multiple people have done it solo and duo wise. I would just join a group of people doing it. We have 3 modes now, hostile, neutral, ally. Go with allies or join a group that is neutral. It is still doable.

Though I do not mind them locking it behind the kraken, I wish they had not. I think they should have made it more available. The only thing I can think of is that they want it as more of an upper end level thing, giving higher level players who have killed the end "boss", something else to do after. Which was a complaint by a lot of players, that there is not more end game content. If I had to guess id say the devs plan on expanding the trenches for more upper level end game gameplay.

that is the whole point giving players stuff to do but to lock all  underwater content behind end game bosses  in a game designed to be sea based it a very odd thing to do ,

by by all means have very hard content underwater ,

but bear in mind they are adding  procedurally generated shipwrecks that will need a sub to salvage so again more content locked away from average everyday players 

shouldn’t be locked behind the kraken full stop , 

it it locks game content behind something g that not a great amount of the player base will see or do 

take ark none of the endgame content is locked away from solo / duo / small groups so why do it with this game , maybe a quest to unlock it but not behind an endgame boss and end game ghost ships and high lvl island bosses 

bad game design is bad game design 

i hope not was loki g forward to them 

please reply only if u have something useful to say ? very rude

I don't understand what the issue is - its so simple its painful. 

Set a foundation and you have a space within which you can build. Each island has a set number of spaces that can have a foundation built upon them. Only buildings decay and over say 7 days. Animals die if you don't feed them obviously or go rogue after the seven days and their housing decays. One/two foundation per person per island. All ships anchored should have no decay, else you will need freeport banks so we can store our gear. Auto destruct upon decay of all buildings. Set a foundation and no-one else can build in your space.

keep flags limited per company depending on amount of members , solves all claim issue in one sentence , 

theyvare adding more more islands as well with a flag limit per company there will be more than enough for everyone

My solution for upkeep -  No upkeep.  Put claim flags back in.  Limit flags.  Problem solved.

Repairs for damaged structures..sure.  General upkeep?  Nope.  There's no need for it.

the problem is unless the devs do a reverse on their stupid decision upkeep has to stay 

i , along with the majority want flags to stay but with limits per company depending on how many members they have 

if every keeps asking for this then maybe we can influence them to go that route instead of the stupid lawless crap 

and while  they are at it remove lawless so all islands out side freeport are same system they are adding more islands so there will be plenty of land for everyone

UPKEEP cost is the same  Bullshit like , organic paste cost on stone. Dont accept it... dont find solutions for it. Better fight for gettin it removed. This is nonsense punish PVE players for griefers... no way!

yeah let’s just let griefers pillar everywhere they want with no decay and upkeep , have u even seen lawless areas or played ark ,

good thing devs don’t listen to players like u

You are right. In that case leave same range  for flag as it is and have two flags per player. If player want to build something big in that case player must find another player with same vision.

again 2 isn’t enough as all that would happen is toxic players would place them in resource nodes and build on them blocking them

6 per company up to 10 players , 12 flags per company up to 25 players , 25 flags up to 50 player , 50 flags max over 50-100 players and addupkeep

the solution  cannot be any simpler , keep old system with the above changes 

room for everyone and resources can be protected as well , 

all the suggestion so far about governors and voting for this and that are rubbish 

simpler the system the better .

as title , i load up my new grid/map just completed  , load in , move to first tree hit it nothing happens , go to next tree same , try to harvest fibre nothing ,

clear database load up my older first version map all works fine , 

what could be stopping the resources being not farmable ?

anyone know why i get invalid server as name of server it’s running shows in server list in game and in steam but shows as invalid server and when connecting crashes the server 

yet doesn’t happen with maps ready made by others , i have even copied settings from them still same ,made an  exact copy of map (with my own ip ports etc) same and still shows as invalid server 

all ports are correct , ip in all correct places , servers names filled out correctly 

i’m lost as to what it can be

Well, if they are listening, flags will stay with reasonable claim limits, 

Remember, the idea is to go into it with enough land freed up for everyone from the start, to have plenty of leftover for new players. (see the math post upthread for the breakdown on numbers and what it could accomplish)

Reasonable upkeep would be fine, but I think a hard 15 day timer, regardless of number of claims you have, would be adequate, because if there is more than enough land already available, and people can't claim beyond their hard claim limit, it won't be an issue. When a timer runs down, there won't be 4 people who have no land, and 3 of the neighbors, and 2 of the big companies fighting for it. They'll already have land, and more than likely have hit their claim limits.

Thanks for the clarification on that!

forgot to add the claim limit part absolutely agree claim limit and upkeep problem solved 

it’s what the player base wants if the devs listen this time and do it they will win major brownie points from the community

When I ran a private Ark server and the redwood biome released, it didn't update the map automatically. The rest of the update happened, it got all the tree platforms and stuff to go along with it, but didn't get the change to the map until I loaded the new map in seperately. I'll admit that I don't know how unofficials work, for Atlas, haven't attempted to run one as of yet.

I was under the impression that it was the same as Ark, where once you had the map running on your server, it wouldn't update your copy of the map, but the official server could always be running a different version of that map.

Which, now that I think about it makes sense, because else if your server was running the same grids that are the ones that will be changed in eastern tundra, and it changed when the update to official changed it, you would have to wipe.

our unofficial severs we will need to set up the new maps otherwise as u say we can carry on as we are 

the biggest mistake they made was releasing server files and allowing players to host ,

supposed to be a giant mmo , what did they think was going to happen to official  servers when they allowed this . 

official server have what 15 max per gird now with most just logging in to refresh timers feed and pay crew 

if there are other flags in the area overlapping  they also need to declaim

could have been that you were in fact declaiming other flags u were not aware of before it started on the one you could see 

doesn’t just declaim one flag declaims all affected flags in any overlaps

2% i have mine set at and my bank has over 100k of all mats at any one time 

seems to be working for me and my neighbors used to have it higer but i would never use what it was producing
