I watched it all two times already, I did not hear them mention characters even once, so are you just pulling this out of your ass? or you will share the minute with us.

Ok, I think you are either trolling or just skimmed it at best. Enjoy then.

Right. Yet you’re forgetting there will be probably 40 cannons pointed at you since the land owner can place cannons at any given time. He will have base defenses. 

That are busy shooting wild life and fish?

Just uninstalled today, made it easier

Can you share at what minute? All of this just seems as players supposing things.

It was said multiple times doing the stream. Even with extra clarification.

I suggest you watch the entire stream to get everything and not just a few things here and there. There are many other massive changes in it.

The issue wont be that big. The current server peaks have been dropping to 9300. New server peak in march after wipe and new games people have been waiting for is sub 5000. maybe even less.

The only question that remains is if they do cost savings on official servers and scale down the grid significantly. At this point even 8x8 and maybe as low as 5x5 would be plenty.

Game was already dying fast, now it´s just dead. 9300 Peaks dropping a few 100 per day, march would already be brutal due to new games But now we talk sub 5000 peaks very soon.

No claim on PvE and "autorepair" is going to be fun. I am out as well.

Guess after wipe my company will move on. It was fun as long as it lasted.

9300 peak today servers, guess we will see sub 5000 peaks very fast.

Servers peaked at 9300 today. It´s rapidly declining.

It used to be claimable when you could stand on the boat... then with their "fix" which no longer allowed you to step foot on someones boat broke this system.  You needed to stand on the ship and place a claim flag.. again no longer works...

They destroyed a lot of features and content by trying to fix the griefing with rocket science, instead of just with a very simple no brainer fix.

Crew / weight limit should'nt affect while anchored. Simple fix

The solution to all the issues is so simple, yet Grapeshot tries the rocket science approach with failure.

Not entirely sure how but someone has been sinking our ships overnight on PVE we suspect they either jumped on or put tames on to exceed the crew limit.

That's our working theory. 1 brig and one schooner sank 2 nights in a row.

Planks were full before going to bet all crew fed well and paid.

We had pulled them up next to a structure which may have given them deck access inadvertantly. Such a dumb mechanic.

Floating still counts as a crew. Same when you see seagulls floating on the ship or a lion and still using a crew slot.

Not advocating anyone try this, but..... I wonder if you can WAY overload yourself, die with 20k weight, then pick up the body and jump off a cliff with a glider suit. Then glide over your target ship, drop the overloaded body on the deck as you pass by.

Dive bomb ships like a plane to sink them........ Except that would be a terrible thing to do to abandoned ships that take up space, so please don't do it. 

Body will be floating and not technically touching the ship.

NPCs is the contesting defence. Then you need to wait till they run out of food and gold.

everyone is doing this , u racist asshole , 

 

your title reeks of racism why do u think its only chinese that do these exploits and cheats ? you answer u dont know , u just think its great to accuse a whole race of players ..

Yep, I am European and being a big ass with this tactics for example, but it is fun

I have parked a troll ship on a decayed claim with 1 crew to forever contest it. I find it funny while countless other companies spend their time in a furious battle to get the claim and wasting while days online.

Another favourite of mine is the constant data corruption in storage cabinets. That can´t be heathly for the server either. Not to mention that it even happens is outright scary in a DBA sense of way.

I have seen nothing whatsoever from Wildshot that indicates this game is or has ever been intended to be hardcore. Unless you can cite something verifiable from the developers to support this claim, why should anyone regard this statement as anything other than something you personally want to be true but is not necessarily what the developers intend?

The only hardcore part of the game is the intended constant grind/play that every similar game type has. Else there is absolutely nothing hardcore in these "survival" games. They evolve around the concept of losing what you have build, nothing more.

It isn't exactly a rumor, not from my perspective anyways, I was being vague because I don't want to call the guy out for having direct conversations with the lead dev when they're leadership in one of the top companies. Don't want to give the illusion of favoritism or collusion. The conversation happened. 

A wipe would be a welcome boot to the rest of us who for some odd reason still hangs in. The game would be down to 2000 player peaks after wipe. Hopefully the new servers would be more high powered 5x5 or 4x4 tile servers. But it wouldn´t matter. Dev resources would be gone afterwards. The dev resources are already at a place where the management people in Snail Games and Grapeshot/Wildcard must be thinking hard on where to cut cost. Atlas will never be a success on the likes of ARK. And march month is likely to be brutal on the remaining player base due to the new games coming out.

More than 10 players in a tile these days is the exception, even in weekends.

It seems its only cannon crew that cost more anytime. When anchored sail crew takes the same as unassigned, not sure when sailing since I haven´t checked for a long time. But previously they took a little more when sailing. Elevator crew also takes the same base/idle crew.

the extra cost for gun crew when anchored is most likely due to the floating battery part where it can serve as defence.

SOTD respawns anyway, you could use a 1000 cannon balls on nothing daily.

Just as clearing the land for predators, only to see them roam there again 10-15 minutes later.

Agree it´s silly. Specially since treasure always spawn around the same areas. So when you first have those "fixed" areas, you get a buttload of gold. Sea claims ensure you get "free ammo" and a tad of gold.

But again as one already stated, the Devs made land claim into a competition where you cant get enough.

The worst part is it would take about 3 second for someone to change either the "enemy claim" colour or the X colour. Yet here we are.

Wipe.....ok. 

Day 1. Run, run, run  for land

Day 2. I have Land. Now this Game is great

Day 2. I don't have Land. This Game sucks. Game need a wipe!!!

It will be even more detailed now.  Best land with metal nodes etc taken, quit!

People don't want to live on just "land" anymore, they want more.

Every time they optimize they seem to reduce the servers ability to send data. Hence why everything loads so slow. 60kb/sec is "epic" setting. I guess it´s more to do with the limitation of the discount hosting company. Same reason why the servers can´t really handle 50 people either.

This has nothing to do with peoples rigs or client performance. It´s a pure network and server limitation.
