They have all balance data from. Ark the Wolff's there u can kill with pikes if wearing armour so there is no excuse for any wildlife to not be balanced 

I have got same issue with a single flag on my claim border there is nothing at all in the claim atea it over laps a bare rock top I have run the entire claim there is noone / nothing at all withing the claim yet it's contested

Damn makes the different tames pretty useless , 2 hits rhino full i haven't tested other yet giraffes etc but will try later this evening and see if results differ 

Pillars in ark flags In atlas , early players took grids close to free port  late players will need to travel further .

And tbo players are not trying hard enough we have had just this weekend new players find d abandoned areas 

Just because all u see on map is red blobs doesn't meant they are all active 

have any of the tames got weight reduction for their specialist materia gathering like ark ? 

or is it just rhino that is bugged

Schooners are pretty damn cheap and you can make one solo in a couple of hours.

this even less if u have all resources close at hand 

oi posted similar a couple days ago 

i know i’m dying red edge , i know i’m hitting trees , rocks , bushes as i’m the one holding the mouse down i don’t need sounds as well 

remove the sounds or let’s us turn them off 

shameless bump

really hip this gets an update to allow chests on the cart

if they are active the 3 day timer is refreshed , recent upkeep so safe 

if there are sleepers and haven’t played for 2-3 months they will age and die once the ageing system is active the. u can claim 

everyone looking at the now not what will be implanted later 

u do age when sleeping and logged out

We need someone from grapeshot to give an official explanation on the full mechanics of how land claiming works on both PVE and PVP. We can not find bugs and report them to you if we do not have a detailed understanding of how land claiming works. For example how is it I can camp a spot for 4 days and every time I try to steal land on pve it says it has had recent upkeep but yet a location I claimed gets stolen from me even though I visited it the same day it got stolen? Why do some locations say recent upkeep and others allow you to try to steel but just read contested the whole time after you place a flag? Then other times they can actually be stolen? 
If you have twitter please retweet this to jat https://twitter.com/Firespark81/status/1083582488612651008
If you do not have twitter please just reply to this post asking for an explanation from an official.

Do not post your land claiming theories here. This is not the place for them. This is a petition for and official breakdown of the mechanics. So unless you work for Grapeshot we don't want to know how you think the mechanics work.

and do u really think that stupid red txt u use give your post any weight just annoying to read

I doubt they'll do that since it was never fixed in ark.

Honestly, they just need to make it so people on your boat can be shot in PvE and moored ships take no weight damage. Fixed PvE and PvP.

i like this idea all your own ships u can kill players that board without permission but they can’t fight back 

almost like real pirate game traspassers will be shot 

latest one is now they drag damned ships to nearest shore base then run around shooting arrows at it so it blasts the base they running around / near

exploit them back, if that is how it has to be

can’t if we don’t know their main base area 

what ? the devs need to get on top of this 

even temp bans for players that are doing this more so if it’s a company ban the company if the evidence is there from videos of them using glitches and exploits the.n they need to be banned 

which grids ids are they at currently ?

yes i have lost 4-5 crew this way everyone to a croc chomping on them 

this has been asked for a lot i would hazard a guess the devs will be looking at this and trying to find a solution 

the issue with set ship to zero speed of over weight players will just log out on your boat you can’t drag them off and u won’t be able to move your ship

I agree and also the crosshair when you're aiming maybe one that's smaller. Be nice to change color on also

yes doesnt really need to be that big ,

i use a small utility called desktop logo , u can use it to overlay any crosshair style / size u can import own crosshair images as well 

need the game in windowed / full screen wi dow for it work but it’s my go to crosshair utility for all games i play

Yes, defend the bug insteed of acknowledging it and showing devs evidence of it existing. There is no point in further discussion, if that was the rapid fire bug that killed their ship, that's devs fault not their, that's like defending cheaters saying to swarm them with entire company while they reload or something.

yes it’s a big but u have to get damn close for the Sotd to start firing so i say again he was in control of the ship .. he got too close . and then destroyed by the sotd either with rapid fire bug or normal fire and he couldn’t get away 

he hasn’t said if he was sailing solo , with friend or ai crew if solo u are going to lose a lot of manoeuvring speed as u have to turn then go to each sail 1 is bad enough 2 is a pain , 

there are are a lot more factors than just i lost a ship to a rapid fire bug ....

Is it possible to solo treasure maps or does it have to be done with a group? I ask this as I play atlas mostly solo and want to know before I go treasure hunting and end up very dead.

can be done so but i will need to cheese the ai 

group is easier and more efficient as can split them up  i will be doing them with alliance members

Stop bashing op everyone and being an alpha male, female, whatever. There was a bug that caused SoDs to go into rapid fire mode, they were not reloading, they kept bombarding untill out of range with like 5-10 cannons per second. Ships don't sink in few seconds and they described just that, few seconds so we can just imagine that was the rapid fire bug.

and yet i still get away .. medium handling and medium speed sail on schooner 

medium speed on sloop 

it’s not about being alpha male femal other it’s simple learning the gameplay mechanics nothing more noting less

ran into the side of yellow ghost ship stil got away took massive damage but my trusty repair hammer didn’t let me down 

again in if i are going to run off from ghost ships u do need to repair as they bombard you and yes rapid fire u do take massive damage 2 planks were at less than 500 at one point 

i only really looked at cooking recipe briefly during the lvling phase and the respects each lvl

was finding it a bit offputting looking at mats required for some recipes 

would need travel half way round the grids to even collect simple recipe mats 

although i liked the idea of 1 good type increasing all vitamins in one

Hey all, I want to build a schooner and I'm wondering what sails I should go with. Normally I just put everything into speed to avoid the Ships of the Damned, I'm wondering if they're still faster than everything out there or not.

no they are easy to out run sloop with medium handling or speed easy 

schooner with medium handling and medium soeed easy to outrun

My schooner has a large speed sail and a smaller handling sail, clips along faster than any sotd could possibly match, even on low wind

someone on our grid said about this large speed and small handling is it really that fast on schooner ? i use medium handling and speed 

it’s your fault u were in charge of your ship 

i have taken my sloop schooner all over map even yesterday went afk ran into side of one still got away , learn to play the game learn to use ai crew if u have no friends to play with 

rafts will get attacked but only if u u touch the ghost ships all other ships will if they get too close within day 20 metere

this or fence posts 

yes if u get too close
