When I sailed into the grid on my raft my ship showed up on the inventory map and atlas map.

Unchecked wpe yet they are still in game. Also beds not showing up on schooner.

Logged back on today and ended up grids away from ny ship and no bed showing up. Crew prop dead. Made a raft and gone out looking for my ship.

On single player I’m not sure about this however there is either no lawless or lawless has wpe’s. I went one grid up from where I spawned and there was 2 wpe camps. Therefore I believe there are wpe’s on every island except Freeport’s. I only played for a few hour because I kept on having a problem with the bed on my boat. When I died I could select it but then the game crashed. When I respawned I couldn’t find my ship on any map. Thus happened several times. Anyone else have this problem on single player. Also the repair hammer didn’t work.

My experience with the wpe are they’re everywhere. Mostly two camps per island. Trying to move around the island on foot near these camps dangerous. Many times I thought I was out of range they would either shoot s rifle or cannon at me. For npc’s they are very alert and good shots. Being single player I think it’s going to be difficult to claim an island or settle on one with their camps and boats. I think it would have been better to make them more random vs on every claimable island.

Can't play this game in single player, last time I died I built a raft to get to where I died. This time I'm too far away. When you die your bed on the boat don't show up on either mini I map or atlas map. Not paying NAPVP, too many jerks and now cant play single player, please fix

In single player, when you die the beds on the ships (schooner) don't show up to respond back on it. Also don't show up when fast travel from home location. Bed does not show up on the atlas map or the inventory map. In addition the repair hammer does not work when hitting the planks or anything. You have to go into the E function and select repair to repair the panels, decks, etc.

It shouldn’t be about player count it should be about equal access. With all the fixes on today patch it a wonder we were able to play at all on the old servers.

The rope ladders made from the loom wont attache to ladders previously placed on schooner. Can put new ones one fantail but not on sides.

There shouldn’t be any timers on tames. Your not around they starve and die.

I’m proud of you man. For all the deservingly crap you gave the realist, you helped him. I only hope he goes to eupve. Only kidding kinda

There are some great points that have been made here. I like the idea of new beginnings and starting new but will miss all that I have accomplished since the last wipe. When is ea going to end or does it go on forever? Just joking Why cant we keep our levels, skills and discovery points going into the new map? How is it fair and balanced for console players that pc players get a 10 day head start ? How about another wipe on pvp after 10 days. Why do the pve players have to wait till the 8th to play? More bugs to work out idk. Same playbook as last wipe . Sure they have addressed some fixes but what about ALL the other bugs that all of us have lived with? I always believed it should be before new stuff fix the old stuff. Why cant we have WPE on the official servers. It made sense without a wipe but now ?? It would add so much to the game play. No choice except to wait and see. I

In addition you have to download a 16GB file every time you switch to the PTR or go back to regular game from the PTR.Stupid

Played yesterday and no problems, today I joined an normal 1X gathering rate. Did something change on the PTR ?

Has anyone else experienced these kind of problems. I talked to NVIDA and said to check with the forums first ( a lot of help ).

In Freeport for less than 1/2 hour and game froze and crashed 2 X

Could someone post or link to the instructions to connect to the ptr. I know it’s a different setup and can’t remember where the instructions are. Thanks. Nvm. Found the instructions on dollie’s wow and mega patch post.

I love all this banter back and forth regarding weekdays and/or weekend 2X. Regardless of what side your on, it's obvious that players want 2X. Yes EEECEEE my hidden motive is I want 2X to be the new norm. The current rate is too much of a grind. When considering the Dev's roadmap with more time spent at sea and in combat, to balance that we need to spend less time gathering. Ask yourself, how are we going to accomplish that? Critical changes are coming and we can only guess what those changes are.

Yes , your right, I should have included that but what about those players that work weekends? I sometimes cant get on line on the weekend and wish there was additional events for weekdays. Ya, I agree bad choice of words. BUT I'm trying to figure out what Jat meant when he said "we'll discuss whether that includes a 2X or not." What I gather is they are working on something with critical changes that might change the way of 2X. Just the PTR ?

EEECEEE....Where do I start ? In one of REALIST past post on this thread he said this: "The only thing is here that they already made the original 1x to 2x within the first few months. It took ark about a year and a half before that really happened. lets say they make the new 2x the new 1x. People will still want events which would really be 4x at that point. Soon after that people will complain about not having that event(totally cool)." I agree with that. If we make 2X the new 1X, where do we stop, and I'm sure if they have event that are 4X, some will complain. I don't agree with most of what he says, but there is nothing wrong with thought provoking conversation. He throws a hook in the water and waits for someone to bite. Granted, not the best place to do it in a forum about game play which he doesn't play, but is does create conversation. Every once in awhile he comes up with something worth talking about, but ya, he likes to talk about stuff he really know very little about. It's obvious he pushes your buttons, and I can understand why, but i don't let it bother me. No, sorry no smurf account here. If you look at my profile in steam, you will find me with 1665 hours on Atlas, and before that I had 6652 hours on ARK. So don't come after me with a bunch of unfounded accusations trying to stir something up, and don't blame me for finding the REALIST entertaining. Sure he posts all over this forum, not knowing what he's taking about most of the time, but that's what he does. You, me nor anyone else can do much about it. If you want to spend time countering his nonsense, that's fine with me. And yes, I feel the present game play at 1X should be 2X. No more than that. I found the 4X, way too much, and in addition IF they need something to attract people for weekend play there are many other things the Dev's could offer. Sorry, I don't see where he want to hurt people on the weekend. I went through the entire thread again and the only reference I could find close to that was this : "long story short. They shouldn’t be having events on the weekends anyways. People don’t play on the weekdays so it makes way more sense to have events on the weekdays. " I don't agree with that however it's not too far off from what the Dev's have plans for and do by not giving us 2X, like this pass weekend. I refer you to JATS statement regarding 2X. Who knows what they have planned for 2X. By attacking me, your playing right into the REALIST playbook. Don't bite the hook.

I agree with REALIST that we should be concerned on what the norm 1X should be. We started out at 1X, then 2X became 1X, where do we stop. There has to be a balance where we get enough per wack to satisfy us vs making the game too easy. I don't know how we find the answer to that. Hardcore long time players don't want the game to be easy because that leads to boredom. As one of those players that have a lot of time in the game I can say I'm not happy with the present 1X, and would be satisfied with 2X becoming the new 1X. With that you must ask then what could be done for weekends or special events? Maybe just do one thing like gold or taming boosts, kracken 1/2 as strong, power stone giveaway, something. As I mentioned before, with the Dev's plan to have us spend more time at combat and at sea, we will need to be compensated somehow for the additional materials we will need to repair and maintain our ship and crew. For the most part, those come from time gathering resources on land. I thought EEECEEE brought up a good point and I have a question for REALIST. Do you play ATLAS? I ask because I think it's important to know where a person is coming from to understand what they are saying. This is not a dig, it's not meant to demean you in any way and I welcome your views be them from a philosophical or player perspective. note I did look for your profile in steam and couldn't find it among the 4200 other REALIST. Are you on steam?

It's obvious that a lot of players want and miss 2X for many different reasons. Gathering to craft is essential to game play. Hardcore players have found ways around it by crafting higher quality tools, bonuses, and by taming animals that yield higher rates. I would be interested to find out if many of the hardcore ones still want 2X or if they are they satisfied with the normal rates. I know the more you have the more you want, but is using the boosted rates from non-2X, sufficient enough? I though about my mushroom comment and realized that if we knew in advance when the 2X events were going to happen, would we not play during non 2X? Would knowing reduce the overall numbers of players during non 2X periods? I want to know when the 2X events are, and will play at other times regardless because I use that time to look for maps or do routine things. I look forward to the 2X to reduce by board-em of repetitive gathering and build up resources which I can use during the week. I guess the question therefore is; would you want to know in advance when the 2X events will be, or are you happy being a mushroom?

Thanks JATHEISH for chiming in with the explanation. It's great to know that the conversations in forums don't get lost in Never - Never Land

I don't know how you can take a picture of 2 pie charts and take them out of context. I agree with you to a point but would not call it development time. They want us to spend more time at sea and in combat. Gee, more combat means your gonna need more repair resources . This thread is about 2X rates and the only reason I brought of taming is because the 2X (when breeding is included) helps all aspects of the game. To be clear, I don't like and do almost no breeding or taming. I enjoy sailing, treasure hunting and building. I don't know if the majority of players want less land time and more time at sea, doing things. If we are going to spent more time a sea, than the gathering rate on land must be better than it is now because you'll have to maintain your ship and crew with repair materials, food, and gold. Even finding treasure maps is done on land. I think as the change is made to spend more time a sea, it's going to be a painful period of adjustment because now you can't do that without spending a good amount of time on land gathering. One way to decease that is by removal of certain requirements for ship and crew or increasing the gathering rates. From past experience with changes, I think there will be many unforeseen adjustments necessary to compensate for the increase to time at sea.

Many players enjoy breeding and spend hours doing so. 2X obviously help tremendously. Unfortunately it's not part of the Dev's big plan. In Dollie's Aug 30 "The Mega Update and Launch" they want to cut time spent on "Tames and Creatures" by approx 80%. They don't care what we enjoy they know better. "Essentially, we feel like players are currently spending too much time in certain areas of the game, and not enough time in the areas we think should be the most fun, such as Sea and Combat." I totally agree with @eeeceee 2X weekends help everybody, even those with super dooper extra skills. Many players look forward to the bonus and for the Dev's to treat us like MUSHROOMS, pisses off a lot of players.
