Same for us still as well, beds not working, tried recreating one, but not company or unclaim/claim.

Will this by chance work with Blackwood as a stand alone?

This is something we're investigating at the moment.

Thank you Jatheish

Anyone notice beds on blackwood, at least for us don't allow travel currenlty. We have 2 at  a main base on western island, and put another inland for taming, and cant respawn at inland one. Added claim flag to see if that helped, but nope. Also when I try to fast travel, it sends me right back to same bed.

cool, idea. did you have any SoTD issues ever?

I can see 2 different options on this, and both would be ok with me.

1 wipe the whole map as they are now

2 Do a partial wipe. If all servers will be home servers, do we need free ports? Other than to get a starting ship. Or NPC's they could be anywhere. Maybe recycle the Freeport servers as new ones, and give everyone 2 or 3 weeks to move to those and then wipe the no lawless. 3 weeks later wipe the lawless. Stage it and when wiped, add the new islands.

Either way, I think a 2 week 10x after would be good to let us get back to higher levels again. 

But going forward I'd plan for 2 month staged wipes if I was running it, until release.

That's all gated behind a goal that the vast majority of people didnt get to in the first iteration.  

True, including myself. So still lots of material to the game to play. Maybe with the rework there will be more people on to do the kraken with.

that said, it would be great if we had a 2 week 10x to get caught up.

So why not stay and help make the game better. It’s in early access, a wipe is always possible. Have more fun by trying the new mechanics, meet others and do the underwater stuff.

I agree that gating the sub seems counterintuitive, but then again, I also feel the public early test server should be permanent 10x and allow for starting with most levels open, free res and items to test with. Then move the second test to the main servers with a bit more time needed to progress.

It sounds like you would be building the puckles, but not setting them up until right before the war, but I could be wrong.

I agree with Capt Trenchard, the game is in EA, I haven’t seen anything yet that was a final straw, or in fact a fifth or tenth straw. So far the game has been great. Some minor challenges here and there, but overall they haven’t been earth shattering.

That being said, I’m not sure if they wipe the servers I’d be happy, we’ve done a lot of work so far, and I don’t think a wipe will fix much, that can’t be fixed another way.

Any chance we could eventually get 4 sectors on the PVE worlds, that allows for PVP. While we play PVE for our own reasons, sometimes we like to blow stuff up.

Reason I ask for 4, is one in each corner of the world, say c5, n5, c11, n11 or something like that. One sector would allow those that don't wish to PVP to go around(though i have a solution for that), and those that wish to PVP, can do so in a close area to most areas of the map.

So my solution to not having to go around. Make these sectors with a map similar to the one attached. Those that wish to PVP do so in the middle. Those that don't can still traverse the map, but would stay to the outside. And land, like mythical islands, would not allow building, but would have resources.

If your Company has several ships docked next to each other with crew left on Repair Duty, will the Repair Crew draw resources from the other ships if the one they're on runs out of certain mats?  Or are they restricted only to the ship upon which they are stationed?  I have a feeling they'll pilfer from the neighboring ship if it's also in the Company.  Seems logical.

If the resource box, food trough, food larder, or possibly even ammo box are within range, anything in the company can and will use it, I think. Though the resource box might be the only exception. 

While there hasn’t been much spam on the forums, is there someone specific to send them to? Can we get a report post button maybe instead?

So I was brainstorming an idea and will throw this out, making a couple assumptions based on things I've heard. One, that there may be floating islands in the future, and two that aging was an idea to allow you to have kids or something like that. Also I know this would work much better in a RPG game, but give it a thought and see what you think. Also this idea would require a major rework, or server wipe here and there maybe.

So the idea of aging doesn't seem to fit, so, instead of a fountain of youth just resetting and boosting stats, have it actually start a new story line. How you ask:

Start of game is like now, in freeport, sail out and start your adventure....

First time you do a FOY challenge, it gives a boost to stats, is done around 45 with aging slowed by 1/3, and is a much simpler system than the cave is now. Maybe a treasure map to a hidden cave that only spawns with that map?

Second time you do a FOY challenge, around age 70 you get a second stat boost, and the challenge is a bit tougher.

Third time you do the FOY challenge, around 95-100, you are respawned with age reset, allowing the following

1, you are now a child(15-20), your parent left you the following, go figure, a treasure map, with a location to your inheritance(base in ruins due to time), and a ship to get there.

2, First time through the 3 FOY challenge now unlocks access to the underwater world, giving access to subs, underwater bases, etc

Repeat 3 step FOY

2nd set of 3 FOY, you get reset again, and now have access to the floating islands, and air ships.

This would be a total of 9 runs through the FOY system, but would give a 'new' character and 'new' part to the game each time.

Now for the really psycho twist. In order to make this feasible, certain islands would have to be off limits, and set aside as 'inheritance' bases. The twist, they are partial destroyed from another company that all did the FOY. So yes, you would move to a new part of the map at random after the third FOY run, and would loose the base your group built. it would go to another group, and you would get someone else's base/island.

One issue I see is how this would work for a whole company. Done by the owner and rest of Company next respawn starts at FOY to run it, not sure.

Sorry for the long idea and I know it might be crazy, but maybe it will give an idea to someone else that might work.

Are those tiles on the bottom outside the ship?

There’s a topic in general discussion re the render distance having changed with a recent patch. Might be part of it,

It’s happened to me 3 times now I think. For now I put the tame on follow and it jumps up to the deck on its own.

Any chance of adding 4 sub forums under companies for the company listings, one for each server?

I know it's a minor thing, but can we get the direction that the handling sails and the boom move fixed. When sailing with the wind the boom should be perpendicular to the direction of the wind, and when sailing into the wind, the boom should face the direction of the wind, going downwind, not upwind or perpendicular.

I know it's a small thing, but can it get added to a fix at some point.

Thanks
