Ideally you want about 5-10 people on a server. In its current state that's about all the players a region can handle. It's basically just like Ark when it comes to handling the latency issues. And Ark never really got any better during EA and even after launch. In allot of region on NA PVE there are only a handful of players and the pings are a solid 60 with very little latency at all. Have you tried resetting your router? A friend was having allot of problems with disconnects and resetting his router fixed the problem.

MAKE SHIPS GREAT AGAIN!

Yeah perhaps my island is a bit sparse for creature spawns and harder to kill creatures. It might just need balancing and spawns reworked. It's one of the new islands in the region that we used to live in post wipe. I have traveled a bit and have noticed diminished spawn amounts in general. Which probably increases performance of that server. But still I enjoy a good challenging games like this otherwise its just gets boring. I like have to think about defense of the homestead. Covering a friend with a swivel cannon while hes in the water pretty much negates any problems we have with sharks. But we don't really dive much without a suit, so I suppose your complaint on the shark difficulty is valid from your perspective.

Sarcasm is my best friend, sorry if your easily triggered. My point was that they are nerfing this game into easy mode. Since the wipe, the spawns on creatures have diminished and the difficulty. The alpha's I hardly see anymore. It's not much of a survival game if all the challenge there is left is the vitamin balance game. Perhaps the sharks are a bit tough, but this update this month with the spear gun might address that issue. Its already too safe on most islands and now to make the water safe too seems too easy. Unless you want no challenge. I also looked up to definition of what toxic is and it doesn't really apply to smart-ass people. Perhaps if you educated yourself, you won't call people names and look stupid. Unless that is you state of your being, if so I apologize for your circumstances. Cheers

I don't have problem with sharks, I think it's a personal problem for you. I'm just disagreeing with you proposed problem. That's not toxic kid, that's called a opinion. Points into swim speed? why? What a waste of points. I'd rather be toxic than stupid. I bet you put point's into shoveling too? #youstillneedtogetgud

Yes, please nerf one of the last remaining thing that's difficult in the game. LMFAO #getgud

Yeah it's not real clear at all. Dates for the days on the patch notes would be nice. It could have been for last weekend for all I know. I wasn't playing the game last weekend. So I have no idea.

- Magic Mythos is now enabled on Official Servers: bonus 2x Harvest, XP, Taming, and Gold rates for the weekend. Yeah if you read between the lines on this patch note post. I would conclude it won't be active till the 3rd.

Meh....whale hunting is easy gold, if you in the right region. Bring a extra ship just to haul gold back

LMFAO ......NVM

Maybe they will just do a character wipe this time??? They didn't need to do that last time and they did....

Huh, I didn't think the ship cap was high enough before they nerfed it. Now you have to use ridiculous amount of resources to build a shipyard just get get back to the level before the nerf? Very Disappointing. Clearly the investment isn't worth the reward in this instance.

Since when does designating your tolerance levels for game development constitute being classified as emo? I see nothing wrong with drawing a line in the sand for a game. Besides everyone quits games for one reason or another at some point. Perhaps every gamer has a emo moment when they finally realize a game is junk and move on. Maybe? lol Besides calling people names is something a 5 year old does. Well unless you are 5 mentally....then nvm and carry on. There's no fixing immaturity, it just takes time.

It's been a known fact for awhile now that speed sails are the best way to go period. Until sails are fixed or re-balanced, whatever you want to call it.

Hmm....to be someone's serf on someone else's island or deal with the bad mechanics for lawless. It's a tough decision..... It's too bad there isn't a third option or better game design.

Just quit the game now....cause I'm sure there will be a wipe at some point.

Well you must have gone at the right time or after a group that cleared it. Cause when my group of 3 did it pre-wipe with about 20-30 others running about we ran into all kinds of bad stuff from lions to fire elementals. It was silly cause the lead guy running would grab aggro and that's the only way we got past.

Oh please send me that video of you just running in once and running out without dying 100 times without the spawns being messed with by others. If the intention of this event is to die 100 times trying to run a gauntlet of mobs, it just might be the worst designed event I have ever seen in a game. ...I HOPE THEY FIX IT. ...and yes by saying "fix", I do believe it is broken.

With most of the content in this game designed for large groups what do you expect?

This is a alpha development at best, not even close to a beta at all. The best work around for most those bugs is to close game out, uninstall and wait a year or deal with the problems till you rage quit and uninstall anyways.

Relax, Everything is working as intended or you could use the excuse that its early access, depends what fanboy you are. However don't ever think that grapedrank made a mistake that's heresy on these forums. I prefer the classic jedi mind trick, "These aren't the bugs and design flaws your looking for..." Please move along....

I think there won't be any problems with finding a island with the new system. The player base will be so small by the time they get it done that there will be plenty of room for everyone.

That is just fucking sad....

Yeah, I get that..... I was being sarcastic. I played Ark for a few thousand hours myself (Nobody like the spam). But the reality is that pillar spam will happen in this new wiped version of the game as it already did in the lawless areas. And if I return (Still deciding) after the wipe I'll be spamming the blocks to secure my build area and the resources on the island just like I did before( I lived in Lawless Region). You just can't decide to not do it unfortunately, because the Chinese will come and build walls and griefer's will just wreck everything. So you will be forced to spam just for the sake of making your place in the game enjoyable.

YES, unfortunately
