    this is bug, it will be fixed. And you will pay taxes. Which I hate to have in game. Game live should be perfect: no age, no tax, no landlord. Bringing all those in the game make it realistic and not that fun.

    This is not a bug (at least in PvE).  It was in the patch notes:

    Max Tax rate on PvE set to 20%, and is only additive on PvE (doesn't reduce the taxee's resources)

    You don't get discoveries on the island you set as your home region.  If that is not the case, then yes, they may be broken.

    This is an island in K12.  My home region is L12.  That being said, K12 used to be my home region.  However, I can discover other islands in the grid, just not this one.

    So if you plan to start and stay solo, explain how you will be creative when going on a 12 day holiday whilst staying solo? I'm not going to have some random house-sitting for me ingame.

    If I could afford a 12 day holiday, I wouldn't care a bit about some stupid game.

    Keep reading: "we'll be able to deploy an additional NA PvE network in a couple of weeks time"

    OK.  I guess I'll get with my friends and see if they want to play on the EU network, or wait another couple of weeks and play on an NA network.  I know they won't want to start on one, and then start over on another.

    For this relaunch, we'll be spooling up the following networks, completely fresh with no pre-existing data:

    • Colonies: EU and NA Networks
    • PVE: EU Network
    • Empires: NA Network

    So from what I'm reading, if I want to play PvE, I've got to do so on the EU network?

    But as long as they (dev) stick to the ark mentality it will be never a new kind of eve.

    Thank God for that.  I don't play Eve.  I don't want to play Eve.  I will never play Eve, or anything like it.

    Put the crews on chairs while at harbor or leave them on a cannon (chairs are cheaper with wages; sails are also cheap).

    This is a good tip.  Most of the ships though, there isn't room for chairs.

    They are, always.

    Educate the people in your company / alliance.

    Most of the time, I'm the only one playing.  In my company, in my alliance, on the island, in the entire grid.

     

    To go into more detail about what happened:  I parked our brig in our harbor.  There was a server time-out error "Host Connection Timeout".  Instead of calling it quits for the night like I planned, I decided to log back in.

    All of the crew (and tames) from the two adjacent ships were on the brig.  It also wasn't parked.

    Sad as this sounds after losing a few ships(nothing in the logs) it was discovered that birds were landing on the ship getting stuck that was at capacity for crew and sinking them. Maybe if you were at capacity with crew try to keep a few spots open and since Ive done that haven't had one sink for "no reason"

    I figured out what happened, because it almost happened again to another ship.

    For some reason all of the crews from the two adjacent ships got put on our brig.  It's just lucky for me that I forgotten something and had to log back in.  Took me all day to get all the crew members back where they belong, and there is still one ship that has a phantom crew member.

    So, after much pain, heartache, and connection timeouts, I was able to get to our base.  Only to find that two of our ships had sunk for no explicable reason.

    I salvaged everything I could from the ships, and are now left with the frames sitting there taking up space.

    Is there anyway to get rid of the frames? I don't care if I get materials back or not.

    They've been explicit about making the game playable for solo as well as group players.

    The developers statement is "We'll be making some design changes over the months ahead to make the game more accessible for smaller groups and solo players"

    The key words are "more accessible".  It doesn't mean solo players will be able to do power stones or the Kraken.  It doesn't mean that every solo player will be able to claim land.  It means that solo players will be able to log in, build ships and bases, explore, do treasure maps.  Accessible does not mean being able to do everything a group can do.

    I think from their statements, they are misinterpreting what players want.  From the Captain's Log 22: "Players not being able to find land to build a base on both PvP and PvE".  From Captain's Log 23: "we want players to always have an option to build".  Their emphasis is having players be able to build, and from their standpoint, the new system(s) they proposed allow this.  What they are misinterpreting is that players don't want to just build, they want to be able to claim.  They want a piece of land that is all their own.

    I've played well over 600 hours.  I played with all the bugs and glitches, some I know will be fixed, some I know will never be fixed because they are the same glitches that have always existed in Ark.

    I've even been playing a lot since they announced the wipe.  Leveling ships by hunting SoTD, trying crazy ship and building builds.  With 6x harvesting why not try crazy things, it's not like wasting mats.

    I've been sailing around gathering different mats to make high end blueprint stuff.  All in all, I've really enjoyed the game.

    But, I guess I'm finally done.  Why?  ""Host Connection Timeout"  I haven't been able to log in for over 12 hours now.

    Despite all the flaws and what I consider bad decisions, I really enjoy the game.  I would like to play, but if I can't, I'm done.

    If you do not have floor, ceiling or roof connections, you can just demolish it.

    You can tear down a building that has no walls, no ceilings, or no roofs.

     

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you could demolish a pillar or foundation that doesn't have a wall or a ceiling?

    They tried this in Ark.  So instead of having a bunch of pillars everywhere, you have a bunch of pillars with ceilings on them.

    Just as I thought, they took the easiest way for the PvE claim system.  Take what they already have, and modify it.

    I still think it's better than no claims at all.

     

    One thing they didn't cover:  How are inactive claims handled?   

    ie Someone claims an island, and than quits playing.  They had a tax bank and settlers, so the upkeep is met, but they haven't logged in in months.  Is there a way for the claim to expire?  Or be contested?

    One flag per island is designed for PVP conquest, it is not suitable for PVE.    How do you decide who gets to be mayor of the island? 

    Whoever plants the flag.

    How do you kick a bad mayor and tear down their flag?   How do you deal with the absent landlord bed spawning to move mats from the tax bank into repair bank, that does not actually live there?

    Same way you do now.  You contest it.

    There is no repair bank using the system described for PvP.

     

    Using a modified version of the PvP system is far from perfect.  But it is better than the disaster of a plan that the devs proposed.  It has the added benefit that it is already developed, the devs have to put in little to no work or thought into it.

    I really prefer many of the systems that players have proposed, but players have been proposing these systems all along, and were totally ignored.  So, I say use what the devs have developed, since they seem to like it and would be more willing to listen to themselves.

    No Claim on PVE server! I was in the game 50 days and 2 of us couldn't find single spot to claim. Following that experience it is better without claim and if you really play you will log in often and your buildings will not decay.

    So your problem was you couldn't find land to claim.  With the new system, you still won't be able to find land to claim, because there will be no claims.   You still have the same problem as before.
