    I disagree since some of the most unbalanced changes made to this game, come from pve players. I don’t mind it since we all just gotta adjust. But if I must point to a group for screwing up this game, it’s the pve’ers. 

    I'm not talking about the game, though.  I'm referring to the atrocious dickheaded mentality of people like Arykos and Realist.  They think if someone doesn't like PvP they're "weak" or "wimps".  That mentality leads to unnecessary strife in the community.

    it's just like in every other games that some people are afraid of losing a fight and they prefer sit around in boredom.

    This is why PvP players are considered to be cancer to the gaming community.  You can't see past your own play style so everyone that doesn't play like you do must be "weak" and "bored".  It never occurs to you that some people just don't enjoy fighting other players.

    I wonder if you think anyone who doesn't enjoy your favorite TV show or food is "weak" too?

    do you really believe ppl will sail around doing them like they did before when they know there will be more character wipes...i doubt it.

    I doubt they would sail around like that even if they knew for certain there would never be another wipe.

    we were quite sure they wouldn't wipe characters as there is not really a need

    I wish there wasn't.  But Jat mentioned in the livestream (like really briefly, he really should have emphasized it more) that the wipe was also to address some issues in the code that can't be fixed any other way.  I mean, it was literally like one or two sentences and then he just left it behind at that.  A lot of people probably missed it or dismissed it because it wasn't brought up again at all.  I don't know what code problems it would be, but he did mention it as one of the reasons.

    you might got another opinion here but you can't believe that all that plan to stay are happy with the wipe

    I know some are leaving due to the wipe, some that will never return.  I also know that most who are Chicken Little-ing about it will be back after the wipe.  I've seen this sort of silly reaction to all kinds of things with games over the years.

    Not to be dismissive of your concern, but we've had several threads about this already.

    I, too, want something done about this meta.  Not because of the logic/physics of it, but because this particular meta shits all over the point of gunports and fun naval battles.

     

    But presenting your case (which is a worthy case to present) with physics kinda falls apart when you can build things in a way that would never work in real life.   Building a ceiling two placements out from the wall that doesn't even have a support structure to stop it from falling over?  Physics be damned!  But I do understand where you're coming from.

    Please do NOT let everybody spawn on any server or even island. Rather make it more difficult to reach certain region of the world.

    I would like to see a compromise/hybrid of this and the proposed change.  Select zones should be excluded from the spawn list (other than golden age zones).  We have plenty of zones to choose from, some should require actually traveling to them.  They don't have to be based on anything specific, hell it could be randomly chosen which zones won't be spawn-listed (at server creation, not character creation/respawn).

    Part of the game is exploration.  We need more than resources and power stones as a reason to do that.

    To be honest. Pve is the place for wimps. Not trying to say anything bad personally,

    You can't call people who prefer PvE over PvP wimps and it not be personal.  You are a perfect example of why people don't like the PvP crowd.

    i doubt anyone cares about the level 🙂 it's more the discoveries made and FOY runs done.

    Both of which you'll be able to get again.  People that plan to stick around for the long haul aren't going to have an issue with this, they know they'll get these back and more.

    5. With the new system, they can just slap down an auto-repair structure next to their griefing pillars, and keep it repaired... indefinitely for as long as they choose.  And there's nothing anyone can do about it.

    We still don't know all the details about this.  If we can only have one, I don't see a lot of people using this as a method of griefing.  Jat and Dollie popped into another thread and they've said they're aware of, and listening to, our concerns about the changes and they're discussing how they want to move forward due to the concerns from the players.  Hopefully everything you've listed here will become an irrelevant concern.

    Just wanted to chime in here to let you guys know we are actively reading the threads, our discord servers, tweets, reddit posts, etc. We consume feedback from every where and not one place takes a priority over another. Typically we tend to do our big announcement/changes over our Captain's Log, as we're able to funnel people into one location where they can see what we're planning.

    As for the PvE specific feedback, we are discussing as a team, based on the feedback and suggestions you've provided about our initial proposal and we're open to making changes. So certainly keep it coming as we do appreciate it 🙂

    Edit: Dollie beat me to the punch 😛. I am hoping that we'll be able to share more info with you guys soon, based on what we decide to do but you have all certainly raised some valid concerns over the past few days.

    This is often enough for us to relax a bit.  Please don't do what Blizzard does, don't be scarce on the forums.  We don't need daily updates, but sometimes the silence between posts from the devs makes it feel like you guys aren't listening to us.

    Discord is nice and all, but some (many?) of us don't frequent discord.  Picking a random thread every few days with concerns from Page 1 of the 3 Main forums (general discussion, PvE Gen Disc, and PvP Gen Disc) and dropping in to say "We're listening" and perhaps an update of ideas you're throwing around can go a looooooooooooong way.

     

    Thanks again for the post, Jat and Dollie.

    WTF does this have to do with anything at all?

    People keep using the excuse of "i has job" to justify their entitlement tantrum about characters being wiped.  What changed from 1999 to now that people in 1999 were able to progress and you're not able to now?  You think the people in 1999 didn't have jobs? Families? Friends? Lives outside the game?

    All of this was covered in my post that you quote only the first sentence of.  Something tells me you didn't read pas that first sentence.  If you had, you wouldn't be asking what you've asked.

    From Day 1 of Beta, EQ had massive platoons of CS people in the game.  The had a community manager posting all over the forums every day.  They had constant updates from the developers.

    This has what to do with people using "i has job" as an excuse for not progressing?

    15 hours ago, Winter Thorne said:

    you know why people were able to progress?  Because they didn't get wiped.

    You're comparing a game that, by your own admission, was post-launch to a game that's still in early development.  Do I need to elaborate on how dumb that comparison is?

    15 hours ago, Winter Thorne said:

    The launch of EQ isn't a good comparison for this.

    Good thing I wasn't making that comparison then.  You must really like fish, though.  You're throwing red herrings all over the place.

    I'm about fed up with people being unable to disagree and have a discussion without calling people whiners and crybabies, and yelling at them to "chill out". 

    Then stop crying and chill out.

    It's like I bought a refrigerator and complained to GE that the icemaker didn't work, and all the other purchasers came over to my house and told me to shut the hell up.  

    What a shit analogy.

    Let me give you an accurate analogy.

    It's like you purchased a game that's in EARLY ACCESS and then threw a fit because development happened and now you're using the excuse of "i has job" to justify throwing your tantrum.  Oh, that's not an analogy, it's what you're doing.

    15 hours ago, Winter Thorne said:

    The plans for the pve servers are a kick in the teeth to the players that play there.  There is nothing in them that is about "betterment of the game".  People are not "whining" they are attempting to point this out strongly enough that the devs reconsider, and it looks like that might be successful.

    There are issues with the code.  Issues that cannot be fixed without a wipe.  The wipe is not solely to implement the changes.  It's also to address issues that cannot be fixed otherwise.  Hence for the "betterment of the game".  Just because you're too blinded by your tantrum to acknowledge this doesn't change that reality.

    On the other hand, your whining about people whining has produced nothing of value at all.  Maybe you should reconsider too.

    Oh bless, it's trying to be witty.

    Once again when You see someone say PVP you automatically think it means raiding someone lol god your brain dead.

    I was not defending offline raiding but defending the point you could kill people at any time anywhere except freeport. 

    How quickly you forget your own posts... "leave it so player on player combat or naval combat stays how it is."  "how it is" allows offline raiding.  So, please, tell us how you're not defending that.  Defending offline raiding and making false accusation is all you do.

    That's means if all clans have EU members they can put it to your 1 am till 10 am weekdays

    If this is what the server votes for, then I'll try to make sure I'm online for it.  If I can't be, there's always another day.  At the worst I have several hours of safety to rebuild.

    it also requires a "war token" to hit during that 9 hour window so ppl cant just turn up to attack its clearly told in advance so yes we will all have the power to see into the future, RTFN

    You tell me to read the notes while at the same proving how idiotic your panic tantrum is.  You da MVP.

    Alot of the people i played with and loved the game get no reward for their time spent and helping making the game better.

    The reward is that they helped make the game better.  Your comment makes you and your friends sound like entitled little shits.  If it bothers you to hear that, well, I can't help that.  I'd rather be honest and blunt than lie to you.

    Instead it feels like a kick in the face when you announce all we get is a useless cosmetic.

    You're getting more than I did for beta testing WoW.  You're getting more than I did for alpha testing Rift and WHO.  Hell, all I got in D3 was a banner design for a banner that doesn't even get used because it has no use.  Then again, I didn't expect to get anything from being part of those.  I went into it expecting to have fun and help find problems and provide data for the devs via playing.

    There will be quite a few people that wont come back for content Patch at 20. March

    And tons of people that left because of what the wipe is fixing will come back.  Welcome to Early Access, the revolving door is always open.

    If you seriously think a stupid cosmetic is enough for the Playerbase that was playing on official networks, you are out of your mind.

    The fact you expect recompense for something that is perfectly normal in EA just shows how entitled you are.

    100 pillars or 50 thatch foundations (depending on if they're trying to prevent building, or also block spawns) don't take very long to farm the mats for and place, and would make half of an average island pretty miserable.

    True.  But there's still the time investment of running around to place them all.  Only the most dedicated dbag would keep that up for more than a week.  And yes, I know there are some very dedicated assholes out there, but thankfully they're the exception, not the rule.

    You do realise that task is a lot easier than it sounds. You can create a Galleon with tames in about a day, if you put those resources in a repair box instead I wonder how long they'd keep a 200+ foundations repaired.

    Assuming they don't add a huge cost to maintaining foundations ect but that would be a different problem entirely.

    You already know all the details of the decay rate and how much it would take to repair an entire island's foundations/pillars?  You should let Jat and the devs know what those rates are.  It would save them several weeks of deciding and testing.

    I'm just not sure I can understand your thought pattern, how did you draw that conclusion?  PvE won't have a claim flag, therefore there will not be a tax on player shops ... and since there is no tax that means that there is no player shops?   Just HOW did you connect those dots?

    So since there is no tax on harvested trees, that means they are eliminating trees from all the islands too right?  No taxes on gold from treasure maps ... guess we're eliminating them too ...

    There won't be any claim flags on PvE.  At all.  Without claim flags, you can't tax the shops.  If you can't tax the shops, why put them in?

    I'm not trying to say any of it makes sense.  That's the "logic" I'm seeing behind the decision, though.  I think the decision of no claims is a horrible decision, because it also leads to other bad decisions (illogical as they may be) to not do other things, like no player shops.

    As i've had time to think, i'm back on the fence lol. The only reason i'm on the fence though is no flags in PvE, if there were flags to a degree i'd be certain to return. Just haven't made up my mind yet.

    I'm firmly with the crowd that don't like the removal of the flags on PvE servers.  It's an unnecessary change.  It feels like a situation where they either aren't sure how to fix the problem or just can't be bothered to deal with it.  But with the change that's coming to the claim system, they did bother with it, so it doesn't make sense to remove them.

    Truth is that they lost more players than they have, if you quit because of the wipe they may gain 5 in your place by having a better system

    The majority of the people that left did so before the wipe announcement.  The majority that left did so because of issues that the wipe is fixing.  In other words, a lot of those that left will be back.  As will all the "waaaah im leaving cuz of the  big bad wipe waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" crybabies

    WTF does this have to do with anything at all?

    People in 1999 had jobs, friends, family, a life, etc and they got shit done without crying about it and (more importantly) throwing a tantrum demanding it change.  THAT is what it has to do with this.  People back then didn't use the "muh life family friends job" excuse, they just got shit done.
