Leveling is easy. Stepping foot off land..........yeah that is a problem. IMO freeport is one of the nicer sections. If ship decay, can't lvl past 8, build bigger ships, and taiming wasn't an issue we leave freeort before level to 50? Then we just sail to the foy/higher level cap/taims.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I "live" on an island with about 60 people in a lawless island. We all get along fine. The safety thing is people sometimes come by in boats and raid newbees. I have mortars to deal with them and say "gtfo". Pirate game though. I sailed around the map today. 40 sotd.and 8 storms. I say maybe 4 ships being sailed by players in 6 hours.

While never playing ark I know ark mechanics. Ican have my walls/roof 9 thick to secure them. In reality they are just to slow people down. Wall only need to be thick enough to make people expend more resources than they will get and the wall is effective.

I wanted to try the solo experience. I have done the raid leader thing. My feed back is "gl to people better than me and I am dam good." Plenty of games are MMO but offer single player fun. I can solo in most MMOs. My issue I found was I have to level on land (minor) and when you go to sea there is nothing to offer.

I can join a group, I've had offers and my answer was the game need to be playable on ones own also. My skillset fit with any of them. Game is contingent on others to make it work properly. As for catering to massive mmorgp. I don't see it offering much there as well imo. We all want itto be a sea game.....it isn't.

I had to this just to respawn in my ship bed. Shouldn't have come to that but not an issue.

Not about the land. I have a spot. I am on an island and have talked with most of the groups, were cool.

This is just ark with large amounts of water. Went out sailing and I find islands enclosed in gates. Was trying to say it nicely, and backspace, oh well. No game here. I sailed for 6 hours. Looks nice. Content? None. Ark Ocean simulator, I was trying for more. Solo play isn'y frown on....it is crushed. I met lots of nice people. The whole "why do I play" and I can't answer is when I saw islands today surrounded in gated past the ocean. Then I get chased down sailing correctly with the wind in a ship 60% weight by a sotd. I am reaching for a reason to continue and I am not seeing it.

I have seen it where you can't move. I usually just do the ctrl+lmb rmb death again to fix it. I have lost me character a few times now. Log out/in till servers sync/update to each other.

ty for the info. I'll just login once a day for 5 seconds till they fix it or I feel it isn't worth it.

I live in a lawless region due to land claims not working out to well. I have a boat with a bed in the shipyard, I have a raft/bed entombed in a building. I don't have the option to spawn on my beds today I found out. I made a sloop at freeport and sailed and renamed my beds even. Did I hit something that makes it so my beds don't show?

There is no way. My "base" is a 2x3 minimalist with double thick wall and slanted ceiling in-between all the way around. I logged into a lvl 28 wolf eating my face inside my locked base. I play solo so naturally after dealing with the wolf I looked for a huge hole from being offline raided. Nope, every wall is at 100%.

Did a person really come to the forms and say they actively use a glitch and now that is is patch they want help to get the glitch to work again?

Was just an example of intent. Could add a dock/ship at golden age ruin islands. That is what I was thinking without going into great detail at an npc dock. Offline raid protection would be a fine fix. I know it has it's issues to be resolved too. I dislike the strategy of "we are being attacked, everyone log off." They would need to make is not affect flags imo or you would never be able to take land claims and everyone would just live in lawless.

I think they will add something to help eventually. Current system of "time to log off for the night, goodbye ship nice knowing ya" is unrewarding. Imo "at a freeport 1 ship can be harbored per company or non companied player." Company could store a few ships if they used mule accounts and then claimed the ships back but that would take time. I see something like that happening eventually.

Makes sense, ty. I misspoke on the preservation bag. It is x12 and as you said that would be 3x longer than the larder.

Been trying to think of a good harbor spots when at sea exploring. My idea is anchor at a Golden Age Ruin islands. The already have lots of rafts/starter sloops around them. Any huge decay I don't know about those areas besides the cyclops army/lvl 70 wolves.

Why a larger and preservation bag? I thought larger=4x food duration and preservation bad was 8x.

I make a half wall high and 2 length box on my sloops (It looks like a cannon deck but really it is to fit a lot of stuff out of sight.) Under the Sloop deck I have a bed/smithy/Large storage box/Mortar and Pestal/Resource box/Ammunition container/Perserving bag and still able to walk from the front to the back underneath for easy repairs.

When in settings for gpu it shows Low=gtx 660, medium=I dont recall, high=gtx 970. Before I swear it said high settings required a gtx 1070. Hopefully it was an optimization update. Gtx 970 is slightly more powerful than a gtx 1050 ti. Only reason to go with a gtx 1050 it is to get one that doesn't require 6 pin power connector for a desktop. Gtx 1060 is equivalent to a gtx 980. Get the most powerful card you can for the right price. Rtx 2060 is coming out for 350ish and is equivalent to a GTX 1070 ti. Rumor of a GTX 2060 but that may never come or be months away.

Not sure what you are disagreeing with as I never said anything about tier 3 cooking.

Food/vitamin system is not rewarding or fun. Food spoils to fast. Most survival games make you drink/eat a lot but making me eat an entire horse a day is excessive. IMO make cooked food last much much longer. Make cooked food act as a meal: Fills you up/brings your vitamins into equilibrium/if soup also hydrates you . Make it easy: generic meat vegetable/water. Currently effort put in feels like a waste.

Easiest way is probably a tamed wolf/cat.

I agree with the reason of the resources not spawning is a dead zone increase. I say the bug is the size of the dead zone. Not sure how you think this is possible on lawless islands to have people not set up camps. Only way for you to prevent someone is putting down a foundation which then makes more resources not spawn. Leave it bare and randdomplayer1234 sets up a storage shack.
