The implication being that if you come and bitch about early access being everything that early access literally promises to be when it had been a concept now for nigh on a decade, then you must be either a child or mentally deficient. In happy for people to choose the one they most identify with. I couldn't care less how obscure someone's screen name is, especially on the Internet. I could be called Noam Chomsky on here, it doesn't mean that I'm not spending every waking minute wondering where my baseball is.

Its meant to be broken dipshit. That's the fucking point. It's on the box...... They're not making you enter your (or your parents most likely) credit card details into steam. It's not that hard to just go "Fuck im an impatient ass. This one is EA. I'm going to give it a hard pass" then just go download fortnight with the other hardcore 12 y/os for instant gratification.

Dipshits don't have to buy early access games. Even if they can't read the disclaimer. This has been a constant in gaming for a while now. If you want to be pissed of about games that have bugs or missing features! Go buy Anthem. That's a full release apparently.

Because that's a stupid comparison. Your example doesn't even make sense. What about the example you left it which is what if a company of 20 is threatened by a company of 50? Suddenly, not such a big gap is it. What about the company of 2 that's threatened by a company of 70? oh wait that can't happen anymore. When you drop the maximum population of companies the small companies don't get smaller as well. If you had a company of 35 before the wipe, you still do now and you have less to worry about from the companies of hundreds. Let's take it to its logical extreme. If you reduce the max company size to 1 and get rid of alliances then you can't have a hypothetical 1 zergs the other scenario. You could conceivably get 500 single player companies all working out of 1 discord but it would still be a nightmare to administer. You couldn't use each others boats or infrastructure, you wouldn't share logs or map data or warnings. There would be no friend or for setup making pvp much harder. All this discourages that style of play and held the little guy who are actually the majority of players.

Try thinking about that question for 5 seconds and then maybe just delete it.

It sounds like your looking at honey in a freeport. These will drop the genetic mat, i.e sap. Just go anywhere else where there are hives and they'll drop honey proper.

The annoyance was the point. Prior to colonies companies like ctsg had 20 companies already. With a 50 limit then might have to try and manage 50 that can't all be allied. Who knows, maybe they might even cop the social credit penalty and actually play against each other for a change in the new meta? We can only hope....... Or nah, just raise the limit I guess.....

100% this. 50 was to high. When the megas refused to play Empires, why cater for them in colonies?

Would be fine if blubber was multiplied by 1000%

In a mega but doing my own thing in PTR. My only real feedback is "spawn everywhere" is aids and shouldn't get anywhere near the final product.

I'm not sure how you only have 3 ships to choose from when the only thing you have limited control over is the length. If you think there are only 2 ship weapons then you clearly haven't played the game.

I don't really understand the issue here. The ships are modular and effectively just small, medium and large frames. My only issue with it is how brigs seem to have more flexible build restrictions than the other 2.

I'm in dynasty, which is a combo of Dynasty, HSBB and Destiny and if there was some huge meeting of megas recently this is the first I've heard of it. The impression I get from our "leadership" at the moment is that we should all go back to ark and mesh for the lols. Most seem fairly disinterested in Atlas it seems.

How do you "doom and gloomers" have the energy to keep coming back to these forums to post your unfounded and unreasoned tripe? Why don't you do what everyone else does when they think a game is dead? i.e. Go play something else. I hear Apex is good.

They're fine as is. They basically just provide some insurance against 1 boarder being able to take out a galleon. Figure out where they are, take them out first. Board at your leasure.

I'm in Dynasty (formerly HSBB) and I'm pretty excited for these changes. I think there are a few things they need to sort out or clarify but overall the above issues do need to be fixed. I do need to question a couple of things you've raised though. First of all,if you can muster 60 active players after protracted wars and burnout then you are not a small company. Secondly, most claims of insiding or DDOS are false. You probably had some tax bobs with their flags set to everyone can build. DDOS is almost always just servers being overloaded by online player activity, not a nefarious PVP tool that megas use. That aside though, this game does need the ark small tribes treatment. There's nothing hard or skilful about being part of a zerg. I have no idea why people are complaining about the 250 cap or that GS are catering to carebears...... Being in a mega is carebear. Its the safest and easiest way to play these games.

Do anchor and take a guy off a cannon. Wait 10 mins,done. Then just check all the structures on the top deck.

Are mega going to cap out a server for a whole 24 hour period? Seems unlikely. Also you can declare on 3 of their island. Which one do they cap?

You can't fix it unless you make some serious changes to merging. Currently you could put a cool down on name changes but all you need to do is have 1 person leave company, make a new company and then merge the old company into it. They would need to delay mergers or something to have any control over it.

I think they should revise the number dien from 250. Not sure it's needs to be as low and complex as your suggestion, but 100 would be a good start.

The only reason it didn't happen again was because they promised they wouldn't, which was the single worst decision they ever made in that game.... Besides perhaps extinction.

Gross. I'll take raid windows over pillar spam any day.

A) small tribes get offline more because they are actually offline. Also, if you are a small tribe and you get wiped or buy a big tribe it will be pvp. You know.... Fun. B) you can have 8 tribe in an alliance. I know it feels like you can, but trust me, you can't. C) maybe, the current meta with do not grief lists is hard to administer and generally just pisses everybody off. That's only going to get harder. D) this isn't ark. Going to a free port every time you need a rare mat or Blueprint isn't practical.

I got to level 51 in one day..... Stop whining. Its not that bad.......

No, please wipe them. Not everyone got to zerg the powestones when keys were limitless.
