kinda what I was saying but with 2 claims per player apart from having the choice to move your claim to company territory or not. See what youre getting at But all this aside.... wouldent it be good to try a server with a cap per player ( and per company if required) to see how it would play out? Id like to see it. The only real big issue I had with previous system was that players could just spam the claims, company or not. In theory it wasn't any different to foundation spam in lawless I guess

Ok thank you I see the point. But what happens to player number 6 joining the company? Does he not get a claim entitlement? And I assume this would happen to company players 7, 8, 9 and 10, before you get to the next company claim tier? The only problem I see there is that it will kinda put people off joining companies? which is very similar to the current claim system: cant have a claim but can live under someone elses?

yes but youd only have 2 claims now. One person could not just spam for miles as before. Even a company would be limited to 2 per player. So still an element of spam maybe: If company players would be willing to use their 2 claims just to fill space. I see what you mean, but a hard limit of 2 would be very different from how it was. You wouldent be able to stick your 14 down as you once did. You would need another 6 players in company just to do that. Be nice to see the screenshot though

But what happens if, say, 10 players each set up there claim, then form a company? Claims would be taken away? Just trying to understand the system

Well that would be the cap? 2 flags per player? Ok so 500 player company has 1000 claims? Takes time to get to 500 players I imagine? Plenty of time for smaller companies to grab the land they want? And if there has to be a company cap ( which im not against btw), surely just be a start to try the system? If popular, changes to caps can be made after? Just be nice to try what a lot of people suggested and wanted all along. Grapeshot got nothing to lose. Sorry trying to make myself clearer. You find an island and claim 2 spots. Then find super company you want to join. That's cool. But then youd have to chose to move your claims to company territory or stay where you are. No more extra claims. The only issue I see with general company cap is how do you set it? Not being an arse, just wondering where anyone would set the limit? We played as a smallish company before wipe, so cant really judge what a fair level for a company cap is.

cos maybe they would like to see how it works? fuck it, okay, make it a live server.... EAs all testing anyhow

How about it? Put up a test server with a claim flag limit with flags working as they used too? say 2 flags per player. No company cap. Company has 100 players, that's 200 claim flags for the company? It would be interesting to see the player figures for a server running like that. I reckon you guys may be surprised how quickly it fills. ( yeah I know the old argument about mega company claims, but it would still be capped to 2 per player maximum. A large company would naturally have more claiming ability). I mean itd only be a test server right? could always be removed? got nowt to lose. Just a weird far out idea

Feel for you. Shame nobody at Grapeshot ever comes here

same boring old crap. File this under "more grapeshot bs"

you are correct "get it right" A bit like SOEs old "soon"

Farewell and good luck. We are offski too. Be safe

Change your topic subject to "we are all going to die before the server wipe comes because they keep putting it off" TY

this

Hang on a minute...…. im playing early access to essentially test a game, so icould join the PTR to test the game I will be testing on the early access. Will there be a PTR2 where we can test stuff before we test it on PTR before we test it on EA? Just release it on the EA and we will test. Youre wiping it anyway so what does it matter? Annnnnnyway. We're not up for any more delays. Possibly the death knell for our small group of players. Fun while it lasted

That's just too funny. Sad thing is though...…. it doesent seem to far from the truth

im sorry if you thought I was making a personal attack on you. Well, actually im not. Im sure ive seen some similar pretentious crap on the forums somewhere. Maybe not you, but similar breed. The facts stand that the OP and other posters are complaining ( rightly so) about the time frame imposed on the wipe. (They did not in ANY WAY complain about EA. Something you alluded to and you purposefully addressed even though it was completely irrelevant to the post. In fact it was used as a defensive measure against people like you) About the fact that they now have 3 weeks, or more, to waste in game, or find other stuff to do. I think you'll find the OP said this might kill the game. I don't agree with PvP as such, but I deffo agree with PvE. You still don't seem to grasp the idea. Grapeshot wants to keep its (now limited) player base. Grapeshot tells the world wipe incoming. PvP players don't care. They play for the salt and the fight. PvE…. well, whats the point in playing for the next 3 weeks? Tell me Boomer? Please tell me? answer my previous questions. What are you going to do until the wipe? I find it best to not make any form of analogy. I don't find the need to make any connection between an early access game, or any game for that matter, and real life. I play to relax and get away from real life for a few hours. You know. Like watching a film? But that's your choice I guess. The OP never mentioned any future wipes? And im sure an intelligent human being like you can read between the lines with Crythos post. Stop trying to be clever. If you cant read and comprehend ( god forbid you ever read a book) you will understand Crythos, at worst, was making a point but not making it fully to your grammatical standards. Maybe he rushed it? Maybe English isn't his first Language? BUT HE CLEARLY STATES THE FOLLOWING "If they wiped today I could just get on trying to re-build but three weeks away wtf why should I bother to log in." You are not helping anyone here. You twist what is said. You make meaningless analogies, and then wont stand by them. Take your salt to the PvP forums. These guys have a massive point. I wont lower myself to answer you again. PS any other guys out there want to quote any Latin phrases in their arguments, Boomer can recommend Wikipedia. It'll make you feel kinda big and educated. And fucking stuff (……. that's not latin by the way.... I just made that up) READ THE FORUM POST TOPIC IF YOU ARE UNSURE

Once again, read the context. Hes not moaning about wipe. Hes moaning about the time scale warning. He even states : "If they wiped it today I could just get on" etc. Hes basically saying " okay. wipe incoming. wait 4 weeks???!!!" Id take an overnight wipe right now, as Crythos would.

I don't think hes complaining about the wipe as such.... hes complaining about a months notice. He has a point.... wtf will anyone want to log on ( apart from me but I will sail that Brig dammit. Sailed it now. Playing something else tomorrow) and do stuff when they know that in a few WEEKS times, all their effort will be gone? NA PvE currently dead, approx. 24 hours after announcement. Let me explain for you: I guess the OP and others, would have preferred a wipe warning less than 48 hours before it happened. As I would. Not much point playing now until the end of march. Approx 3 weeks of play until wipe. Tell me Boomer.... what will you do? Tame stuff? Build a couple of Gals? To know it will be wiped 3/4 WEEKS time? Why bother? Hes looking at the time period he either has to a) play and achieve and lose everything or b) find something else to do. Seems to me hes a player that likes the game. A commodity that Grapeshot is rapidly running out of Yes you are right. It is EA. Hes not complaining about EA. Learn to read and understand before you jump in the whole fanboy thing. As for the guy on the Gulf Coast? was that you? did you buy a property in Hurricane territory? Stupid comparison so don't use it. You buy a game in EA knowing that your kids lives don't depend on it. Buying a house is no joke. Get outta your moms basement and find out

Cross zone line, elephant slowly bounces higher and higher until its a little speck in the sky. You guys want me to come and do some coding? you can give the chimps a day off then Btw, I have zero knowledge of code, but ill give it a shot. The chimps must be very tired

Getting real tired of this game real quick now. Fast travelling between beds on ships isn't working for us. Green screens. Cant spawn at base. Cant spawn at other ships. Why make it hard work to play? just fucking fix this basic game breaking shit. Keep this up, you'll lose another 30% of players this month. Fix the crap before you add stuff

J9 Freeport west island all over the place

Don't see anything negative in patch notes. Like the animal changes. Good to have the opportunity for a thatch gatherer. Like the old age debuff removal - foy not worth attempting in a group of 4. weapon reloads lowered. all good

we're also getting it now. Just glad these guys only make games, and not aircraft

good luck getting a claim let alone 4

he expects pvp not griefing. You think PvP is offline raiding? or some dick taking all his gear off and ruining everything with nothing to lose himself cos hes got no penalties for being smashed up before respawning and doing it all again in his underpants?? you think that's PvP? PvP needs a price to be paid for everything. Be brave, stand up, and get into some real fights! Don't be an ass and just ruin stuff cos you can. That aint PvP.
