I hate doing maps because depending on the lighting the red X over a red claim circle is pretty much unnoticeable.

God yes PLEASE! When we are trying to do maps it is so freaking hard at times to locate our X on the map to know where in the world we even are.

So last night a group of us using tigers were off doing a batch of maps. Then the 2-hour warning for the next update popped up. Two hours? More than enough time to finish and get home!

We finished up less than an hour later and got everything back home, animals in their pens and what not. We unloaded loot, and logged out for the night.

Now we log in, we are rolled back to the last island we were at and from where I logged in at it was as we were heading back to the ship. So we were still on land... all the tigers we brought for the maps have been killed by the wildlife in the area, they were all on neutral but didn't survive. So we lost most the gold (we had 7 maps for the same grid) all our tools and supplies and yes, our tigers and the maps they were holding as we went on this venture.

All dead, all lost all due to this heck of a roll back that took us back over an hour.

So dev's,

PLEASE, DO A SERVER SAVE AND WARN US IN ADVANCE FOR IT

We paid good gold for them tigers off a breeder we met and now we have none of them now due to this.

This is not the first time I have lost tames and ships to these darn rollbacks! I've lost 2 brig's due to Ships of the damned due to the mighty 5-minute warning of patch updates while I'm sailing in very low wind, even if I made it to the nearest island I would be rolled back a lot further than them 5 mins.  So for the love of god let us know when the servers saving and so we HAVE SOME HEADS UP.

30 is the max level for anything in none golden age ruins. It's designed that way so new players don't get over run or don't run smack bad into something they are not prepped to deal with. So they limit the higher level ones to a few areas so if you want better loot and a good fight to go to the grid's they are on. 

If anything wish they would lower the spawn rates. I'm sick of seeing 3-9 (yes, NINE)  ships of the damned as I'm traveling on my cargo brig.

We lost no ships but we did lose a lot of tiners and lions we were all using to do maps last night. Timer said 2 hours before patch so we continmued for another hour than packed it up and went home. Put the animals inside their pen and called it a night.

Now we log on and our ships at the last stop we did and all the animals were killed by crocks and snakes.

Talk about one hell of a roll back.

I say this is a good thing. It means, in the long run, you can only maintain the land you have people for. The game shouldn't be about owning as much land as you can. Land is tight as it is and its hard enough to find any with all the claim spam many companies do. If your company has lost members it only makes sense that you would lose land as well.

As someone who has been stuck on lawless sense game launch due to no land being out there and the only land, we have found to contest having been foundation spammed by the company next door making the land 100% blocked for us to build on due to such. I'm all for this.  You should only have as much land as your company size can maintain.

Lawless doesn't have storms. Storms are currently murdering parks ships outside lawless. Count your blessings.

E5 Lawless

I dunno sure looks like it storms here to me.

So can you go over why THIS:

is a thing? Pretty much we found this land and we were able to claim two flag's worth of land. This other company beside it saw what we were doing and allowed it. Only to than come over and foundation spam the land to no end. They apparently couldn't do this with the flag that was there before us. This has left us with 2 land claims but we can only use the small bit of land that is around the shack that was there to start with.

So we have land that we can do nothing at all with.

All your screenshots posted are super tiny and nothing can be seen on them. You need to post the full-size images.

Yes this is true about certain animals spawning near by, I realised this when our elephant got killed by a cobra whilst being offline. We've since rebuilt the base where the floors are raised and have an elevator onto another floor, it's worked out quite well as we've not had problems since. Yes you have to be logged on within 4 days to keep everything, I don't mind that but can see why it turns others away. i just find it more enjoyable on there.

We tried this too. Our animals just end up glitching through the ceiling tiles back to the ground or just getting stuck.

There is also the issue that once you GET land, the land may not even be yours to do anything with.

This is what we are dealing with after getting two claims of land. Instead of trying to contest the claims we were after, this company just waited for us to get it then started foundation spamming everywhere. Apparently, the owner of the land before us was there before they moved in, so they couldn't do anything to this land. But now that we took it over because we are the 'new' people, any overlap of the claims they are free to build on no matter what we set our flag too. So they have made it so our 2 flag's of land are useless outside where are little starting shack is.

This is just stupid at this point and it needs to be fixed. What is the point of owning land if once you get it you can't do anything with it?

This is the reason I love lawless, build what you want where you want within reason. I started off the game having 3 flags on an island, the group I was in decided to disband and the admin deleting everything which is another story.

Started a fresh on lawless and never felt better, much better to play lawless and build, go out on an adventure. Can't be dealing with all that stress on flag territory right now, it's clearly broken and they know it.

The issue with lawless is you have to log in every 3 days. Plus foundations don't block stuff like spawns so animals can spawn inside your house or animal pen. We have lost so many tames by stuff spawning inside our fully enclosed pen. Plus ships also decay a lot faster there too. It's not ment to be a perma home. 

owners of companies can freely change the company name at any time. that has been a thing sense ARK.

that is why the ID is there, because that is static for that company and what you use to report them by.

Yep, had a 'top'  company do this on my land, even though the land upkeep is active. Those guys only know how to play dirty..

You want to see dirty?

This is what we are dealing with at the moment on the 2 land clames we just got the other day after being stuck on lawless sense launch. The system BADLY needs to be sorted out.

Agree. We are just a company of 5. All our points are spread thin so I'm the one that does the taming, while two others have enough points for just the riding stuff. But with the changes made it is freaking impossible to tame anything with these changes.  Even in armor, you can only hit so many times, and then if they bola in a janky spot you have to wait for it to get back up to try again. The timer just resets WAY to fast.

I spent 3 hours going through every stack of beats we had while mates were making bolas, arrows and bows to tame a lv30 giraffe and the best I could get was 40 some % tamed before it lost just far too much taming that it would not get any extra levels and wasn't worth continuing. All because I keep dying while trying to feed, and the time it takes to respawn on the boat, swim to sore, go to the taming pen we are using, try and grab my stuff, wait for the timer to tick down so I can USE said stuff and get back in to feed or to rebola the taming has already dropped rapidly. 

You just can't make any progress and going by what I go through no one else wants to spec into taming, plus if they did we lose out on the other skills we need, like armor or fire arms.

It's just so damn stupid. Stop making it harder and harder for us!

It's bad enough that we keep getting wilds spawning inside our enclosed animal pen that are then free to kill everything.

We don't even bother with them. just go all speed and lv weight. they just don't add enough to make them useful in any way.

Good luck even owning the land you get once you get it. We got land and once we claimed it it allowed those next to us to foundation spam it to no end.

Non stop searching for land and or being screwed over trying?

Dunno thus far thing's have been less then fun. 

Now I want some Undertail music done.

Ooof...  that's rough

You telling me. We have been stuck on lawless since the game first launched and have been going around to nearly every grid looking for land to contest or asking if anyone would like to offer any up. We don't want to build on someone else's land, as we have already been screwed once by that. But now after so long we finally have land only to not have any use of it. Our company owner and two others are thinking of leaving for private servers due to this. Leaving me and one other behind if they do. 

So yeah if we don't find a fix for this or find somewhere else we can go I don't know. I can understand the OP's annoyance because nonsense like this really breaks any enjoyment you might have had for the game, all because some of us have lives outside a game and can't no life it.

Hey, least you hadn't been given land only to have another company freely foundation spam it.

Enjoy THAT nonsense, because we now have land but can't do jack with it.

@Jatheish

Can there be a fix some time that stops people from foundation spamming our claimed land? 

We were given two flag's worth of land by a large company but another company next to us even with our flag set to company and allies only have been able to come over and foundation spam pretty much our whole area, even right next to our flag. I've already put in a report on this but it's getting pretty stupid that we can't even use our land. 

It's the fishing system from ARK, right down to needing sap for bait.

Agree. right now the game is more focused around owning as much land as you can by spamming land claims and less about I dunno... playing a pirate? Even in the fantasy terms of what a pirate is.

this is exactly why i have not gotten any crew. I do not get enough gold to to keep them paid. They just are too expensive. They should just get a set amount per day or days. ex 1 gold for a RL day. no matter what they are doing. They should also get their own food (ie you should not have to feed them) or at the very least they should get their food from the pantry locker or preserving bag

If you have a small crew and can get a grapple you can pull in the crates you find at sea. I can more then support my small crew on the gold I pull in from these crates alone.

That said I would love to be able to unseat my crew in one go and than stick them back to where they were before. Like assigning a job, to them, and they remember that job. Maybe when unseated they could even move about the ship, sweeping, and looking like they're doing various tasks.  Then you tell them to get back to their posts and they all move back into place, rather manning the sails or working the cannons.
