Mythathos

It's frustrating that most of us really enjoy the game despite the bugs that have plagued us. The claim system is a brilliant idea that gives players a sense of safety and ownership along with a entirely new layer of trade and commerce. Many of those who joined the game later from EA launch felt frustrated that land was difficult to obtain and yes that push us away, but didn't stop us from wanting land of our own.

Now that claims are announced as being abolished after the wipe those who never had land will not get it or have the same sense of ownership. I had pride in my land claim and that pride drove me to build beautifully. Land ownership is more than functional. It's a catalyst that will raise the aesthetics of the game. Without that pride people will build functionally. You can bet to see Borg cubes on every beach.

Returning to the frustration, we the players know that a reduction in available claims or limitations per server per player are a sure fired way to solve this. I feel like there's a language barrier between the populous and the development team. That's what's making us shout all the louder.

Big surprise.

No response from the dev team.

We were told the claim system was going to be revamped.

Well, simply removing it entirely from PvE is not a revamp. It's just choosing the easy option of getting rid of a problem. Which in itself will create further problems.

I for one liked having my own little claim, it is what interested me in Atlas. Removing that removes my interest.

I'm struggling to get a majority of my company to even play after the wipe, which won't happen without those claim flags.

We should stand together with one voice and tell them this isn't good for anyone. Please consider upvoting my suggestion listed below.

I made a suggestion on the forums. Let's show the developers in one voice that this is a bad idea.

It seems like you all put a lot of thought into PVP and then forgot about PVE until the last moment.

I urge you (developers) to reconsider your decision to remove claims from PVE.

Doing this will destroy your plans for trade and player markets in the future as everyone will have access to everything. Or nothing as most spawns will be blocked by foundation and pillar spamming.

Player will log in to find their ships enclosed in walls. Resources will be built over by careless players and trolls. 

This decision doesn't resolve anything and adds even more issues.

I really wish you would allow claim flags for PVE.  This sounds like basically all of our servers will be like lawless.  That means that people can come in and kill out spawns or prevent you from building by blocking and then there is the fact on lawless rocks and trees will spawn through the foundations.  I really do hope you rethink PVE version of this.  I feel we are getting crapped on.

I second that. Grapeshot needs to realize that PVE isn't about killing other players. Land trade and resouce control is a large part of that. By allowing everyone to build everywhere you essentially destroy a market for resources.

Posting this in Bug Reports would be a good way to relay the issue to development.

Post this under my suggestion listing and upvote to bring more attention to the development team.

i can  deal with the problems,  its early access.  everyone should understand what this means going into the game

what bothers me is the lack of support, and lack of communication 

There's plenty of support and communication. Jon the official discord. Forums are a thing of the past.

I'm confused. How many straws are there now?

The tax rate is so insignificant that you can't really tell you're giving up a part of your resources. It's a nice concept, very noble. However, pirates are greedy and taxes hello is get those varying types of resources into one place from our lands to build masterwork items. We aren't going to drop those rates just to appear the good guys.

PS. With dedication anyone can get land. Believe it.

Fair enough on the gold. Still call bullshit on your wood farm. Transfer alone of 240k to a place where it wasnt weighing down your elephants would take about 30 minutes for that load. Now if you had an extra person sure. But you didnt include that information and it certainly isnt implied when you say YOU can do this.

I'll  make you a YouTube video on timelapse, but you may want to sit down because it's obviously gonna be difficult for you to grasp reality. I'm not sure your mind can handle the truth.

Maybe for you its the end of story. Others would like the problems fixed. What did I expect from a pirate game in EA? Nothing more than I got really, but this IS a problem, and it should be solved.
Secondly, you dont need to lie about your numbers to make it seem like you know what your talking about. You cannot farm 240k wood in 5 hours. And your 2500g in any hour conveniently leaves out the time it takes to find enough maps to make that much, as well as sailing time between islands. Bit disingenuous.
Its not working, so fix it. End of story.

I certainly can farm 240k wood between 2 elephants in 5 hours. 

I also never mentioned maps when I said 2500g. You get 1400-1500g for killing 1 monstrous blue whale and it only takes 2 people. 1 driver and a single person in a ballista roughly 30-45 shots to take one down at drive-by speed.

As far as people wanting things fixed, well they are being fixed. People can't sink your ships by climbing your ladder, which you can raise by whistling at your rudder Y & U. SotD no longer for upon ships unless they were targeted and fired upon by them. 

So, get your binky out, man up and leave that tear ridden safe space where your can't grasp that something is possible simply because you can't or don't understand how it's done.

Is that the same pirates luring SOTD into your ships? Is it the same pirates that hang off your ladder full of weight? 

I guarantee if either of these things happened to you you would not be saying "its only a pirate game"

The game is for everyone and people shouldn't be penalised from doing maps because of big gates all over. If we went on your logic I'd put gates all around outskirts of island not allowing you on it, hey its only pirate game. 

It is the very same experience I've had, except all these complaints have been patched. 

During double weekends I can tame 30 bears ostrich elephants.. farm the materials for 2 galleons in 5 hours. Earn 2500g in an hour any day of the week. I don't understand what you were expecting in a pirate game in early access.

If it gets wrecked. Rebuild. End of story. Trolls get off on your reactions. This post just shows me they're winning.

It's a pirate game. Pirates in history did only acceptable things. There were cuddly and polite. They thought of others and always earned what they got. I agree. These pirates are being rude!

This is the MOST annoying thing in the game: People who use water claims to overlap and spam  your claim when your claim was there first! I can't place a LAND claim anywhere near another claim, so why are they allowed to overlap using water claims?! Even worse, WHY are they allowed to build on MY LAND?!

With the recent updates claims are only allowed to overlap if they are placed to contest a existing claim. Placing a claim in the water cannot occur without this exception. 

This should be in bug reports. That's where developers look for issues. Not general chat.
