As soon as I left M11, this stopped instantly. 5 days of thinking some patch broke the build, and it turns out it's a garbage server...

Just an update: As SOON as I left M11, this stopped. Like...immediately.

As soon as I left M11, this stoppeed. Immediately.

Edited to say I'm in M11 NA PvE as well. I've been getting this suddenly starting 3 days ago. Never had this problem before. Scared to start sailing for fear of losing all the tigers I just tamed, my ship and crew... aaaaaand about 2600 gold.

Not only do I get the Battle Eye crashes due to "Client failure to respond", I also have been able to log in, but lost m,uch of my HUD and the game doesn't recognize certain items in the hotbar. I try to open my inventory, but it flashes open then closed instantly. Can't interact with anything, or get the pop-up tool tips. Can't get on my cat. My crew and animals are slowly starving as I wait to be able to get off then on my ship jsut to forage a little. There's no way I can sail like this.

I just posted about this as well.

I logged in unable to open my invesntory. I can't get on my Tiger. I get no pop-ups for items I look at on my ship. I see no boat HUD with wind and sail info. E does nothing. Can't man steering wheel. Can't climb ladders. Several items are missing off my hotbar. However, I still have a few items, like my pistol, latern, and sextant. Logged out then back in. Same issue. However, I did not have the option to rejoin a server. I had to use the log in to a new atlas option to get back in. Logged out and back in. Same issues. Then I got booted with a message about the client not responding. Logged back in and things seem to be back to normal for the moment. Edit: Kicked again by Battle Eye Edit 2: Logged back to all the same problems...except now me and my cat are off the boat, I can't get on her, but whistles still appear to be working. Logged out hoping I put her on attack my target and follow.... Edit 3: Logged in. Things reset. But I keep getting booted by battle eye Edit 4: I happened to be booted while holding my bow. Logged in an there was no bow in my hot bar, but the slot was selected and I was able to shoot my bow, even though there was "nothing" in the slot. Edit 5: Same Problems, no matter how many times I log out then back in. On a possibly related note, I also started getting the Host server not responding messages again every time I log in. A list of the items the game is failing to generate on hotbar: Fine Bow Fine Pickaxe Fine Hatchet All of my F* key powers Ok, 30+ minutes of messing around with this nonsense. I was barely able to replenish a little food on my boat for animals and crew. I'm done....

Seems there have been a couple changes, so if any could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Last night I ran into a problem where I needed to invite somebody on to my boat but I could not invite him into the company while he was stranded in the middle of the ocean. Is there a another solution to this?

Welp, thanks to lack of communication from Grapeshot, I wasn't able to communicate effectively with the girlfriend. This delay (which wasn't actually a delay, because the process to get their servers ready isn't some brand new, unknowable mystery, and could have EASILY been anticipated and communicated to the players) caused a misunderstanding about priorities that could have easily been avoided had I been able to plan my actual night based on actual information. So, thanks for respecting my time to support your game.... /sarcasmandfrustration

Yeah, I scheduled around this as well.

Nope, but I'll continue to expect a higher standard.

It's getting a bit old refreshing the server list, refreshing the forums and refreshing the twitter feed to stay on top of this. Please and thank you.

Nothing yet. Empires is still on the server list.

Empire is still on the server list as of this post. 736pm Eastern.

Same. Not sure why the Empire PvP server is still listed. They should have taken it down and strarted wiping and migrating data by now.

They wanted to manufacture some arbitrary reason to make people log in, becuase the entire map, before the wipe, was claimed, but people would only hop on every couple days/weeks to refresh, then disappear again. Unfortunately, combining their plan to make the game more active with the ability to own land, THEN signifigantly limiting the number of people that could own land by letting them claim entire islands, failed to achieve multiple goals. If they kept the claim flags, significantly limited them, then added a small/managable upkeep for one person, they would get a whole lot more activity in the game, and way more people would get their own litle tract of land. With individual claims, people don't lose everything if they split from a Company. And even one flag was plenty of room for one person. In a company, you would contribute your ability to place another claim, and everyone would know what they were responsible for. And, if there wasn't enough room to place a claim, that just means you could help the company get gold for the claims they do have. With one flag per person, they would marry the amount of land a company could hold to the number of people it has. Even better, they could incentivize Companies to place claims in clusters with lowered upkeep, or maximum taxes based on concurrent flags, or whatever.

That's certainly understandable. Though, at this point, without some major rework and a promotional campaign, I'd estimate a 10% drop to claim point costs and upkeep would be pretty reasonable.

I sure hope ya'll were erring on the side of caution with those claim costs. Not sure how many 60+ Companies you were thinking were coming. We need more <35 claims.

Please correct me if I'm wrong? Been searching for the answer on and off all day.

So, um..... We all have ZERO reason to keep playing on Official until these changes take effect. Also, Free-For-All building on PvE servers is a HUGE mistake. Keep the individual claim flags but limit them significantly. Two claims per person. That way if someone is kicked from a company, they get to keep a small chunk of land. Please do NOT made the entire PvE server like Lawless. EDIT: It would seem their answer for the Pillar/Foundation spam is this structure decay damage. I will have to wait and see how they implement this idea. However... There is still no reason to play right now.

I linked the videos I uploaded to show that there are, what appear to be, islands where there should not be any. My ship "mostly" clips through them. But occassionally it will rumble and sound like cracking wood as I traverse through them.

We were lucky enough to find a place to claim with no taxes and so we did. Thankfully, the owner of the land was a cool guy. He attempted to remove the flag so we could have a claim, but the "Dead zone" required between claims of different companies made the area still too small. Well, since then, our entire base has been decaying rapidly, so the guy replaced the flag to stop the decay on our structures....But now, he owns everything we built. Is this intended to allow land owners to just take other company property by removing and replacing a flag?
