i am certain the big companies will avoid land pvp on lawless. They will be too focused to prepare wars for claimed to bother about lawless.

Would really appreciate devs jumping in here and state their intention for lawless: will they let us live here, or will they damage decay everything with no auto-repair and make enemy pillars able to be built right next to ours and thus destroy lawless.

This is important for people like me who loved lawless but now if they destroy it, will likely leave.

Well, it's called lawless for a reason. it wasn't meant to be claimed.. it was meant as a launching point for groups that didnt conquer an island yet, for pvp and shady dealings.. people like you were bypassing that aspect and ruining lawless with the lame ass pillar/foundation spam... so if that means you'll leave, sounds good to me.

I dont think it will break anything, 

Let's see before they announced the wipe there wasn't a pvp server. 

Freeport=no pvp allowed

Lawless=offline raid only

Claimed territory= mega companies with spies in each other's discords, the megas would just pack up on their ships and leave usually rather than fight for their land. 

The mega thing is really pathetic though, I haven't seen a big company fight anything yet. They have the discord spies then when a big fleet is comming for them they take all their ships to the nearest Freeport, while someone else scouts out land that might be offline/inactive and they move there, what exciting pvp action!

So there was no pvp to ruin in the first place. 

The point of their changes is to funnel pvp a bit better, I'm excited that these changes are taking place, there might be some action after this. 

The game is fun right now though cuz everyone's taking ships out to pvp since the wipes coming. 

well, i got wiped by a mega alliance, dynasty and a couple of their top ten pals. It wasn't fun. They insided and flipped a claim so everyone could build on it, placed mortars and wiped our main base on our grid. Before that, they greifed us for a week straight. Sinking every ship we had, every night, when most of us were offline. weakening our moral and depleting our resources. On the day of the wipe, they came in at 1030 pm eastern, on a sunday night, when most of our guys were trying to go to bed so they could work in the morning, 200 strong verses our 60 remaining guys for a solid 7 hour siege... Talk about a lag fest.. when they figured out we were too strong to wipe conventionally, that's when they had their spy flip the claim and wiped our main base with their mortars. that's when most of us rage quitted, it was 4 am at that point. I would spawn back on a bed every couple hours to see if i could save an island but they still had a 100 chinese people (who were probably just waking up) wiping everything else we had on the grid cycling out each other, keeping the numbers high as they took the grid.
We didn't have a chance.

That's when my company died, none of us had it in us to start again, in the current state of the game. It was kinda a relief really, a few of us lost jobs and relationships over this game, to keep our community going and protect our investments... god damn. it shouldn't be like that. 

I'm excited for the changes too. Maybe my gaming community will come back... thats what im hoping for. 

honestly they should not allow more than 5-10 pillars/foundations to be placed on an island without being connected to the same type of material structure. Would need to pave the entire island and block all resources nodes from spawning to stop others from building on it. should probably dramatically decrease the size of the "can't build that close to enemy structure" area of effect, as well. 

well, both the NA servers and the EU servers are both installed in germany sooooo... same ping, either way.

Considering lawless borders freeports, it'll make it really interesting for anyone who wants to go get NPCs, lol.  Gonna have to sail through lawless to get there, and there'll be PVP hunters everywhere.  

also, if you read the captain's log "golden age of piracy", it mentions

• More MMO aspects: player markets, player-specified automatic trade routes, additional quests, and daily missions

"automatic trade routes" Can you imagine??? Now thats gonna be lit. When that's released i can see people focusing on attacking those freighters for the sheer profit and people following around trying to protect the cargo train from pirates. People complaining like there isn't gonna be pvp everywhere even with the new rules lol... they have no idea. It's gonna be epic. im amped. what about you?

booooo fuckin hoo

im almost certain lawless is gonna be the go to spots for instant pvp, considering all the new rules planned. i'm excited. 

boo fuckin hoo

Laughing alot at people already defending them before they've delayed it. It doesn't matter that it's EA, it's still hilarious that literally every single time they delay patches, releases etc where they could just be up front about the dates instead. They're still saying march 20th, but I'll bet my left nut that it's going to be delayed because god damn it they just can't set realistic dates even for the life of them. That said, I'll still play, I like the game, but they're literally indefensible in this guys come on hahaha. They should hire someone else to do communications, because as someone working in marketing I have to say they've done a horrible job with this (it just seems like they've hired some newbies for this, maybe they'll improve. But I've yet to see it).

i don't think they expected so many people to be interested in the game in the beginning. In thinking like that, they probably only hired a hand full of people and set their ea budget for a slow development cycle. I think reality is really setting in right now for them. Games with horrible starts and small dev teams don't often make it, day z for example. this will be the update that makes or breaks the game and they know it.

Well now you’re just talking crazy. Nobody would eat a fruitcake.

im a fruit cake bruh. I end up in ppls mouths alllll the time.

We do have features considered to be mythical in our world, so the possibility of demons existing is entirely possible.

I propose that we call these theoretical demons edge demons, since they exist only at the outer borders, or edges, of the world.

need a special recipe that uses magic mushrooms and roots to make a DMT laced fruit cake to see the edge demons and a spyglass infused with epic lvl magic tarot card to absorb the demon energy, combat buffs to farm more pain

It could be flat and mirrored on both sides. This means that there are two versions of that exist at the same time, one on either side of the atlas, and when you pass beyond the edges of the world you exchange places with the other you.

Hmm. An interesting theory, but difficult to prove.

alex jones was right. the interdimensional demon clockwork elves are behind the scene in control of the atlas! The atlas is a pain farm prison and the demons feed on your negative energy!!!! when you cross a grid the old you is consumed by the demons and they spit out a reflection of you to keep farming the pain!!!! its all just a simulation man. youre in the matrix

damn those sails are hawt. id have traded you massive weight for even your worst one lol.

Atlas is flat! Cant change my mind.

i agree. stealing shit takes wayyyyy too long. 

Im probably gonna rip my keyboard out of my computer and break it over my knee then body slam my desk and cry naked on the bathroom floor.
What do you think?
Is the update scheduled for mid to late march getting postponed after announcing a wipe and killing the player population gonna drive you wild?
Are you ready for it?

Could you elaborate? I do not get, what you are saying.

AhHur Der derrrr derpy derp hur DUURRRR

damn id love the special purge hordes in pvp too. thats content right there baby. That could even be a tarot card skill too. summoning the soldiers of the damned. that'd be hawt

First, i'll do as i please. There's always risk. Whether or not you use the battlegrounds, there is always risk. You're away from your island entrenched in an activity after all. There will always be people like you that are out to ruin people's homes and fortunes. That won't go away with a battlegrounds. Hell it would open up people in pve to pvp if battlegrounds were open to both pve and pvp. meaning higher pve population hopping over to the pvp servers.

go out and raid someone like a men, and don't hide in battlegrounds where you lose nothing to finaly destroy the open world pvp...

I could do that too, but if you remember the patch notes, there's gonna be raiding hours and lets say i want pvp in the off hours without paying booko bucks for the battle token, battlegrounds would be awesome. Perhaps could even win a battle token in the arena

yea true spawn in fight, but don't take the risk to lose anything.... boring

yeah more pvp content is soooooo boring. gosh what was i thinking

i see lawless becoming the go to places for instant action. Not only that, but if you remember the previous patch notes for the future(golden age of piracy i think), they mentioned automated shipping routes for resupplying the trading kiosks. Piracy is gonna be awesome. the wait is killin me

bro that's like saying you know an entire book because you read some descriptive sentences on the back of the book. trust me, there will be more to it, and if there isnt, there will be so many salty mofo's talking shit in the forums that they will be forced to spice it up. I'm constantly suggesting instanced battleground, or fight pits for some nice rewards and instant glory without too much risk.

i mean, why do that when you can just add a battleground arena to official. lets say, you enter a queue where you enter an instanced arena where you spawn in with the gear and/or ship you want and 5-10 min to modify your ship and gear the way you want it. if you lose, you lose nothing and spawn back to the real world with everything you had on you before you queued up, maybe lose your entry free or a gold bet. if you win, you win a pile of gold, or special BP's, special gear or special skins.  would really spice things up. id never be bored.. and i have a feeling everyone would love it. kinda like battle grounds in Elder Scrolls Online, everyone loved it when the devs added it.

shit, myself and my 60 man company/gaming community completely left the game and stopped playing a month ago. We refuse to invest serious time again until the wipe/changes...  not because i don't love the game, but because as it stands, it's pretty much greif city and if i wanted to smash my screen id play dark souls. 550 hours in game, na pvp. Cant wait to play again and not lose all my ships and tames every night when i log off.
 bring on the wipe and changes baby!!!!! wipe wipe city bitch
