A 30-45 sec timer where you are not attacked after crossing a zone would be ideal. Many fleets end up getting kitted to the edge of a zone naturally so having a grace period where you are not a target would be nice. My close call came on my brig after entering a golden age ruin zone and was flanked by two red galleys and a mixture of red and yellow brigs and schooners. I took HEAVY fire from the galleys and lost about 1/3 of my ceilings on my deck and countless hand rails and misc pieces. Luckily the ceiling my steering wheel was on held in there with a few hundred life and I ended up not loosing but 1 or 2 planks somehow. Although overall damage was massive but spread out just enough that I escaped to sail another day.

Ye - the berrys are also a problem. If you have a vitamine-system, at least make it so you can actually gather all 4 vitamins on all the servers. It doesnt need to be easy gatherable. It is ok that a vitamine as example can only come from eggs. But they need to be available on the islands themself in a form. The ingots are an absolute killer-argument if the missing ressource is something heavy. Just allone our harbour with all the towers needed so many ingots, it would not have been viable to have to sail two servers to get them. To the airship-topic: the moment airships are reality I am out. The flyers allrdy ruined PvP in ARK so much they had to nerf them into oblivion. Flying in any form will completly ruin the game.

There would be enough Islands - but to many Islands are simply not viable. Instead of adding more Island they should rather take the time and balance the Islands and Servers. All those Islands without any Owner - they have huge flaws. Sometimes you see ppl claim them, and within a few days they leave again caus it's simply not viable. - To many Islands & Servers lack basic ressources (I am not talking about Arctic Islands here - I talk about Islands that are as example Equatorial, but for some weird reason they just forgot to add some spaws. There can be as example on a Server an Island that has all ressources like the others on the Server, but for some reason not a single metal-spawn). There are also Islands with small lakes in the middle of the Island but it's sea water instead of drinkable water. The worst part about this is, that some of the new added Islands are among these. There is ZERO reason for some of the new ones to life on them. They are by far worse than all the others on the server. - To many Islands lack the possibilty to craft Ingots. It's simply not viable to have to sail 4 servers away to get the missing ingridient to craft ingots - especially if that ingredient is something super heavy like gems. - To many Islands have weird broken ressources. As example Island 1, 2 and 4 on Server XYZ have Herkinger (crystal). The thing is a light purple crystal. Island 3 for some reason has the exact same looking purple crystal - but if u mine it you get gems. - To many Island have no possibilites to build a harbor at all because for some weird reason the entire water-areas at the beaches are either to shallow to even park a sloop or they would be deep enough to even park a gally, but there is no connection to the sea to get in. Other Islands would have possibilities to build harbors and park ships, but someone had the need to place at the ocean-floor these huge rocks you can't place anything on it (THIS POINT IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING - WHO GOT THSI IDEA?) And then on the other hand - there are entire Servers that are broken OP. Server like L10 as example that have 3 diffrent kind of gems and everything you need to craft golden, because for some reason one of the Islands is a diffrent biom than the rest. Why?! TL:DR -> no need to add more Island: but fix the ones that are ingame so ppl can actually use them.

NOTE: Originally posted on Reddit on May 30, 2019, Edited A little info about us: Since the wipe, the Republic of Texas has been doing what we normally do...building up bases and outposts, trading with neighbors and nearby islands, and trying to keep our ships afloat. In the larger scheme of things we have realized that our little island is pretty quiet....we have visitors come and go without incident almost daily. Texas is a friendly place and we welcome visitors. If you care to visit, I suggest you keep to the north-eastern shoreline which is away from our harbor. And while you are on excursion, most areas east of the lighthouse are safe for all visitors. With that being said, we have now been raided twice by our good friends, Wendigo. And by their actions we have had to install base and harbor defenses which are always on alert. And now comes the second installment of our experience with the wayward Wendigoans. ==================== Our mostly quiet region of F10 usually exhibits few more than a dozen active sailors at a time. So imagine my concern when we began receiving reports of multiple sailors entering the region....again and again...more coming...and more. The population rose to over 34 men at arms over the span of a few minutes...and talk began to spread of our westerly neighbors, the Wendigoans, seeking adventure and sport on the high seas. They seemed intent on seeking out ships flying the flag of our neighbors, YT, and attempted to call them out to a fight but either the YT company was out of region or they were nowhere to be found. We Texians realized quickly that hostilities were coming to our shores like it or not and our minds were set and focused on our motto -- Don't Mess With Texas or Come And Take It. Your choice. We set about to make ready our harbor ships at anchor and we manned the mortars. I stood lookout on the High Guard peak and began scoping the horizon for sails while others prepared the lower mortars. Negotiations took a sour turn when the Wendigoans located an unmanned YT vessel at anchor on our southern island. I didn't know it was there, nor do I care. We have sought safe harbor during peace time at every island in our region from time to time, so it just seems neighborly to us that others would do the same. But the Wayward Wendigoans were looking for a fight and with YT laying low and our friends, the Hippies, in absence...that left Texas as the only means at their disposal to rid their cannons of their blue cannon balls. They used the unmanned YT ship as their reasoning for bringing the fight to our shores....if we were allied with YT then we were the crazy ones. My assurances that we leave YT to fight their own battles and we only concern ourselves with ours fell on ignorant ears. Even word from Jazz Cabbage vouching for our Texas hospitality went ignored. Then they accused us of allying with CSTG....to which I had to verify our company records that they were NOT floating somewhere in the lists. Seeing as how we are only cursory members of two regional alliances, CSTG was not shown or indicated, and our pre-wipe membership with the Federation of SCA would have meant nothing to the ship captains making sail for the Texas coast at that moment...so I didn't bother to explain our history and heritage. Ultimately, the only company that has shown us any hostility has been Wendigo itself...and since they appeared to be hellbent on shooting at something or someone regardless of affiliation or peaceful intent, we Texians resigned ourselves to the second half of our motto and agreed on comms -- Let them Come and Take It! As expected, sails appeared outside our harbor, a solo brig flying Wendigo colors with two speed sails and a handler. She brought up and heeled to as she found what was waiting for her....the Texas harbor was not so lightly defended as it was last time. She circled outside of cannon and mortar range...dipping in and out of view at the farthest my spyglass could see from the High Guard. Our harbormen reported her movements as she went off our southern point and lied in wait. Shortly, a second brig arrived, masted with 3 speeds, and approached hugging the cliffs of our northern point....she dropped sail just as she was about to enter the firing arc of our harbor tower. I reported to our crews to standby...watch for foot soldiers and listen out for puckle fire! I assumed that a smart captain would have put a man ashore to scout for weaknesses in our defenses...but apparently I was wrong. The 3-speed Wendigo brig made for a slow sail as she rounded the point. She fired on our northern-most large shipyard and I could see cannon balls being exchanged through my spyglass. The harbor crews reported the shipyard destroyed after only 2 or 3 volleys! 300,000 hitpoints gone without our cannons making a dent in the Wendigo brig's armor! Amazing! As the brig passed our harbor, the handler brig that had being laying off the southern point had approached within firing range. Her broadsides began flying into the harbor and ripping through masts and rigging! Our ship crews stood their ground and every cannon in the harbor fired as the two vessels crossed and came to bear....I was regretting my decision to be perched on High Guard with all the fireworks taking place down below but the Texas harbormen were reporting the action and I could hear the cannons bellowing in the background and I could see the muzzle flash light up the rigging and walls of the harbor! At about that moment, I heard the only shot that I heard during the entire battle from so high on top of our High Guard peak. "What was that??," I wondered. One of my captains had landed a mortar shot on the brigs as they crossed and was reporting fire and sparks on the offending vessel! It's a small victory to land one solid hit against a much stronger foe and we Texians enjoy our small victories! At that point I lept off the platform of High Guard and began sprinting down the cliff face....I was obviously missing all the damn fun! But as I descended High Guard using grapple and gravity, the Wendigo ships pulled out away from the harbor and our guns fell silent. Everything fell silent. The elephants and crows meandered along our harbor street as if nothing of import had occurred. I joined my fellow Texians at the harbor... "Was that it? Where'd they go?" "We lost the shipyard. Anything else?" "Not that I can see." It was then that the crew of the schooner, IH8Rocks, began shouting and yelling as she sank unceremoniously near the mouth of the harbor! "Damage crews! To the ships!" Damn our ignorance....we had forgotten that a ship sinking makes no sound until it's too late so we split up and began boarding our ships and making repairs! The galleon, Alamo, was struck hard, her bow facing the open harbor entrance had sustained heavy damage and several planks were completely gone, her bilge already full of water and her lower deck awash! The brig, Davy Crockett, was also taking on water...one plank missing and several leaks! We scurried about the ships and tended them like bees tending honey....repair hammers in-hand and rummaging through caches of spare planks and wood! I was not able to locate the Alamo emergency box...and as her lower decks became flooded I was grateful for having spent the time to learn to hold my breath for extended periods. I finally climbed above deck and jumped over the side to swim to the next galleon, the San Antonio. I was familiar with her layout and knew where to find supplies. With replacement planks in-hand, I dove back into the shark-infested harbor and swam alongside the Alamo...dropping planks in place as I went. With only her last remaining deck above water, we plugged all the holes and she began to rise again! Saved! We gathered on her deck as the water was pumped out and took stock of our losses: A large shipyard and a plundered schooner with no cargo or cannons aboard. We also lost one of our harbor walls and the four cannons perched upon its ramparts. The four gun crew and the solitary deckhand from the schooner were all saved and assigned new duties. We all agreed it could have been much, much worse...and that we need more mortars around our harbor! After the frenzy of repairs, the salvage operations began. The shipyard was replaced and the schooner Loot and Schootnerwas backed up closer to the shoreline away from the exposed harbor entrance. We exchanged pleasantries with the Wendigo captains and acknowledged that their mythic and legendary cannons had been well demonstrated. They were reluctant to accept offers of trade for some of them however, advising us to go out and find our own. They did offer to come back and rid us of our harbor defense tower since it seemed to block the firing arc of our mortar so well. That was mighty neighborly of them to offer. Just a thought I would like to opine...when ballista can be armed with ship harpoons...drive-by broadsides on harbors may become a very costly hobby. I saw how much damage those brigs took in a single pass of our harbor....and I would not have made a second pass either. Good fight, Wendigo. See you next time!

I totally agree with this I don't know what they were thinking adding this into the game when they want more people to return. If they really wanted it then put it in golden regions only but not every grid. I have lost count at how many times I've ran into a fleet of them with galleons and if a galleon gets a hit on you it can be game over in smaller ships. I'd be happy if there was none at all to be honest and rework how you get planks, cannons etc. When the fog comes in I stop immediately until its gone but if i have heavy weight i go along the server wall if i can. To many of these ships in the game, they are supposed to be rare not have fleets of them.

a little feedback about the ice box 1. it doesnt generate ice if someone is not in render range - this has to be a bug 2. it doesnt keep food from spoiling any longer than salt -given the pita it is to make and transport it should definitely offer much longer preserving times 3. its too heavy to transport in large quantities at 1.2kg per piece for it to be a good alternative to preserving salt -lower its weight by alot 4. stacks of 100 instead of 500 like salt make ice management 5x more complicated than salt. like this its set up to be used pretty much just for breeders and as a salt alternative for the few in the polar regions, which is a shame because its a nice idea. But too niche for general use.

The Issues: As things currently stand, land based PvP is little more than a terrible joke. The lag during combat prevents NPC puckles from being of any actual use, as they are rarely shooting, if at all, and are just objects we sink gold into for no reason. Grenades take down mortars and mortar towers with little difficulty, and the cooldown for new mortars before being able to be shot makes it practically impossible to use them as a defense even if spares are on hand, as they are just destroyed before the 30 minute count down is up. In fact, due to the lag, and the game apparently not counting in real time, even after over an hour in real time, the "30 minute" cool down is still not up and they still cannot be used. Structures, in general, fall too easily, when considering the lack of and heavy cooldown on defensive measures. If an enemy can completely level a base we spent over a week of farming, building, setting up defenses for, etc, in less than three hours with less than 10 people and some bear carts when its on our island, I see some major issues with that. The attackers should have a more difficult time, not the defenders. Honestly, I can't see many that want to sink so much time into building and attempting to defend something that can still be lost within just a few hours. It's not fun. Period. Improvements: Ultimately, since the lag is a whole other beast that can't be as easily fixed, I propose at least removing the cooldown for defensive structures when placed on your own island. That is, if your company holds claim on the island, you should be able to place and use objects like mortars and canons on bear carts immediately. As the combat current stands, that is about the only practical way that those defending their own islands can have a REAL fighting chance, instead of just barely surviving it, if surviving it at all. Additionally, though it is certainly far more ambitious, I'd even go so far as to suggest removing the cooldown for repairing recently damaged structures on your own claimed island. If an enemy is actively trying to destroy your base on your own island, it stands to reason that you should be able to actively repair it, IF you have the means to do so. That is, if you're willing to put in the work to farm up spare material to repair with and have it on hand for attacks, then you SHOULD be able to actively combat the destruction with repairs. (Keep in mind, I am suggesting this ONLY on claimed islands. And, ultimately, even if this suggestion is not taken, I strongly encourage the other.) Conclusion: When it comes down to it, losing practically everything you've spent hours upon hours to build up, and keep, since we pay gold to maintain the island, even, in a terribly unbalanced method of combat is only going to continue to destroy the current player base. I've already witnessed several players, almost entire companies, quit after losing almost everything, even after they were actively attempting to fight off the attack. Something needs to be actively done about it, even if only small measures, like removing those cooldowns on your own island claims, to try to ensure some balance to the game to help existing players. Without players playing, the game will just die off, but it's become quite difficult to actually be motivated to play when you're spending the majority of your time attempting to defend something that can hardly be defended by the means given to us in terrible lag for hours on end, and the rest of the time is spent rebuilding what was just destroyed. Instead of, you know, getting to actually enjoy the game. I enjoy many aspects of the game, and want to continue to do so (I am personally thrilled about cats coming out as new tames just because CATS and, obviously, as I am going through the effort of writing this, I really do enjoy and appreciate the game), but the current threat of losing literally all of your hours and hours worth of work within just a few hours is daunting and has made it quite difficult to even want to play.

@Realist Please do check the numbers for PVE also, were the bases are already invulnerable... and also the ships and tames and and and... You imply that people are staying away from the game because they can be wiped. Not happening on PVE. Still leaving and not coming back... And by the way, if it takes you 2hrs to get anywhere and you don't, it also means people that want to PVP you that far away will also more likely not come to you - safety in distance keeps wipes low... Also there is something called a FOB, your are not limited to one SafeSpace(tm) on the whole grid you know... What keeps them leaving and not coming back is - This is not the game that was advertised to the people. - This game is more about anything else but sailing. - PVP has not a good mechanic and producing meta that is not enjoyable. - PVE is toxic because it misses PVP options (but that is on the PVE players, they want to be protected from each other and blocking each other in the process). - As the MegaUpdates show, the Devs not only lost their goals, but are not even trying to get back on track - more tames, more Mega-weapons, more SteamPunk, more unrealistic contend for the advertised setting. (Most people here came for the High Barbarey; Most Ark players for the not so heavy reliance on tames, hell most non-Ark players because they did not like the taming reliance in Ark) - What killed the main aspect of the game for most is the claiming. People like that generally. But the first iteration at the start was not workable way before the EA release and after that it became a salvage operation with them not knowing what to do, because their best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry... - That combined with the problem that 95% of the Atlas buyers have no idea what EA means and that they have NO reasonable expectation for content or changes. - This leads to the problem that everyone and their mother wants to be able to solo their own island now, not understanding that it is not for them, and not even good for them at all. The fun fact is, that currently the pop is so low everyone can have an island if they want to, but they find out the "grind" to keep it is too much for them, so it is not even the limited island numbers - Then we have the people that don't want to be wiped, so they join a local civilization (aka Ally or directly into Mega) for protection and then find for the protection they are not allowed to attack whoever they want. They want to be protected but not want anyone else to be from them, me, me, me...! - And oh yeah, the contend is limited this early so at some point there is not much more to do, till they add hopefully interesting things to come back to. If people would just understand what multiplayer means. If people would just understand that they do not need a claim, but a reasonable save place to live and therefore have time to enjoy the rest of the content. This game would - at least with current mechanics and content - get people back. If you are one guy or a small group get onto an claimed island (of your choosing) and co-live with the others there, they want you. If the taxes are too high for your liking leave to other island - vote with your flippers... But keep in mind that the land owner is the one that gives you passive and/or active protection that you cannot handle yourself in most cases and that also cost time and resources - therefore taxes - unless you would be so kind and make meaningful donations? Also this understanding would help many small companies help each other, if people would just understand the cost benefit. Yes small, not so active companies cannot handle a bigger claim - and don't need to and save their time trying for more fun stuff in the game. But many small companies with one company playing harbor captain can have a claim while being mostly their own boss.

@Jatheish Where we are on the subject ... Could you please adjust the range of the Food Larder as well as the ammo box so that you get along with one on the Galleone. It is annoying to have to balance the heavy ammunition by hand, just because a box is always preferred and then there is a part of the ship without ammunition there. Edit: Or if the range is technically a problem connecting the objects together so Box A also has access to Box B.

peak players in EU PVP is like 1-1.3k now. Almost impossible to find engaging experiences out on the seas, or have huge battles (which wouldnt be possible with the lag anyway). Without player interaction, people will get bored faster; its a pretty quick downward spiral. Ship pvp meta is also pretty bad, every brig is basically just 12gunports + a few back canons, sniping each other side by side. Used to be so much more fun with the heavy canon builds, even if there was a tendancy for shotguns. Atleast every ship looked different, and you had to spyglass it to determine how you wanted to engage the fight. infinite grenade spam and horses also make land pvp fairly tedious. Game is in a very bad state, but noone is going to want to come back if they know unplayable lag still occurs when player counter goes above 70, thats got to be the first priority

I love the cargo racks. I keep one in a box on all my ships till I need it. Cargo rack and weight sails combo has been a god send to hauling. Also whistle a couple of unmounted tortugas without riders at highest follow range on follow to island hop using a schooner running heavy and slow enough for them to keep up. Logistics is fun at last and feels like a win for the devs in my books.

Not sure what you mean? I'm simply asking for cannons that have the same long range as a heavy cannon, on a ship, so that somebody can't creep up on a port...find the range where they can hit from, but the enemy defenses cannot. This allows them to just sit there, with no danger, taking down your defenses. That is what I am looking to fix. Not sure what cliffs, or lack of cliffs have to do with it.

Well stated. I understand your reasoning. Ironically, I personally refuse to use tames on maps above 10 quality because I found that I would frequently toss a particularly resilient defender into an inaccessible location (like a chasm, or under terrain), and have to wait the full cycle to try again from scratch, simply because there was no mechanism to recover them beyond the mindlessly boring wait. Now that I have switched to in-situ traps and heavy ordinance, I can virtually guarantee that the attackers are physically prevented from pathing into spots where they will prevent me from killing them the very first time. Setup takes longer, but it pales in comparison with the time it takes to sail to a 20+ masterwork, so is worth it to me. Perhaps the OP could try something like that for a change?

Or we could just re-balance health, armor, etc. I agree with Ricky in that the game needs some serious re-work in regards to that. I prefer PvP thats purely skill based over PvP that puts a heavy emphasis on levels. I'd be happy with health being static for all. When you level you get skill points for learning and improving things like stamina, int, weight, etc. Leave health out of it. I'd be content with that and armor sets being toned back a bit on damage reduction. Large health pools with high end armor is redonkulous.

I find this so hard to believe a company would just stick out a torpedo heavy damage like this then turn around nerf it to lower values. There is no creative thinking here at all. We warned them torpedo's was not the way to go, but they still insisted. What will the numbers look like now? official and Unofficial. Sorry to say but i predicted this. The tames are boring people already, reddit and so many others are expressing their distaste for it all. Here 5% see what happens now.. https://steamcharts.com/app/834910

They seem to have heeded to my (and very likely tons of other people's) suggestion to increase the weight of weight sails to make them not useless. The sloop looks like the upper end size of a pinnace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinnace_(ship's_boat) The sloop would be your fast light ship that goes to shore. The dingy should be your heavy one. Make the dingy come with a cargo chest/have one buildable on it and share the weight of the ship it was launched from. This way you can ferry resources to your boat without needing to get wet. I doubt it. Pro tip: Diving suite = no sharks and faster then a boat for picking up SotD loot and crew without using a grappling hook (which can get the loot quickly)

Hi Team, I have two concerns with the way rope ladders work. 1. If you approach a ladder from any angle other than square to the 'front' of the ladder, you do not get the option to climb. This is unrealistic and un-fun. Even moreso since every square inch of the oceans are absurdly and unrealistically full of sharks. Even even moreso since the swimming mechanics are utterly unrealistic, spinning and tossing you like you were in zero-G. (Pro-tip: Check out actual water some time. It's quite viscous and human bodies do not have anywhere near the momentum the game presents.) It's very easy to hook an arm or hand through a rope ladder, even in a heavy swell. Please make it so that we can get onto a rope ladder from any direction. 2. If you're a tribe admin and you approach from a non-front direction, the default action E is to adjust the company access settings. This is silly and usually results in tribe admins getting eaten by sharks. There should be no default action on a ladder except climb. If for some reason you can't climb the ladder, there should not be any action when hitting E. Thanks,

...for commercial transport. Surely the world’s yacht clubs have not completely escaped your notice. But your point is otherwise completely valid and something Ark veterans should consider. Go do laps on Ragnarok or Crystal Isles with a motorboat and see how long it takes. The difference is in Atlas you have reason to need to make those trips, in Ark you did not. The only time I ever needed to move large quantities of anything heavy over significant distances was obsidian, and that was always done using a quetz.

released patch notes v24.4 - Reverted optimization to how Seating Structures are replicated, caused some issues. v24.3 - Fixed invisible tamed creature case, and optimized some networking related to creatures on ships. - Optimized how ladders network their extended/retracted states. - Attempted an optimization to how Seating Structures are replicated (Steering Wheels etc) v24 - Further fix for case where steering wheel usage became desynchronized. v23 - Major client and server optimization for ships - Fixed remaining case of Client Disconnections (Not necessary to adjust Client Bandwidth, this was related to something else. We recommend all players try to use EPIC Bandwidth!) - Various new server performance optimizations - Sail Canvas is now unaffected by Repair Hammer - AoD soldiers now take significantly less damage from bullets. v22.21 Fixed a bug where tamed creatures, boats, and NPC Crew stats didn't replicate properly. v22.1 - Fixed a case where players would disconnect on certain servers when loading into large bases. We advise setting your "Client Network Bandwidth" Option value back to Epic if you had previously changed it, to deal with the disconnections. - Fixed a case which would cause creatures to flash or flicker. - Fixed a case where players on saddled creatures would teleport back to the server's origin if the creature they were mounted on had been killed by another creature. - Sail canvas now takes twice as long to repair. Repair hammer can no longer be used to repair a canvas. A canvas must be repaired using the pinwheel option on the mast, which can be accessed by holding down E. - Target Soft Spots will no longer add torpor to other player teams in PvE. - Camera no longer interpolates to origin when destroyed. - Glider will no longer activate when encumbered. - Buoy signs remain attached after server restart (retroactive). - Server and client performance optimizations. - Fixed an exploit which allowed players to stall and potentially disconnect other clients. - No longer able to turn off cannons that do not belong to your team. v21.43 - Fixed some server side crashes and added additional server performance optimizations for NPC Crew v21.1 (client) - Fixed choppy claim flag physics 21.42 - Further optimizations to NPC crew 21.41 - Optimized replication and ticking of NPC crew on turrets, for significantly improved server performance. v21.31 - Improved Structure replication rate from servers, though this may increase client stalls slightly. Clients can reduce their "Client Network Bandwidth" Option value if they are experiencing too many stalls with this change (we do recommend the default, 60 KB/s). v21 - Optimized how items are networked resulting in significantly higher performance and less bandwidth usage - Added the Hook Hand and the Peg Leg to the Freeport cosmetic vendor v20.1 With our planned changes for March, the game will be heading into a more rule based system, so for the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes to experience what it would be like if we took an alternative route. We’ll be releasing an update tomorrow which includes the following changes: - 6x Rates - Harvesting, Taming, Experience, Gold, Farming, and Breeding. - Claim flags will no longer prevent enemy building. You can now build anywhere, and only structure build radius will prevent it. This does not apply to cannons and mortars, which will still require a claim flag. This is a non-default, which will be enabled on our PvP Networks. Unofficials can also use this as a custom server-side config. - All servers, other than Golden Age Ruin servers, can be set to home servers, allowing players to respawn at them. (PvP only) Game.ini: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] bDontRequireClaimFlagsForBuilding=1 bIsLawlessHomeServer=1 bForceRequireClaimFlagsForBuildingCannons=true This is what we’re enabling on all our non-Golden Age ruin servers, but please note that you must also flag the corresponding grids as homeservers on the servergrid.json This patch will also include: - Whispering voice hotkey [* [numpad] key] - Server side config that allows you to alter the distance for the 3 voice modes: Whispering, Normal, and Yelling. Game.ini: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] ProximityRadius = 8500 YellingRadius = 22000 WhisperRadius = 2000 - Removing the Destruction Mesh on Lighthouses - Increased the limit of folders in inventories from 20 to 40, and 80 in Bookshelves - Treasure Map names now includes the grid for easy filtering - Explosive Barrels can no longer be used as an ammo type for cannons. Any loaded ones will just fire regular cannons.

Please note that exclusion/inclusion lists are not saved when altering building permissions, so switching from 'Everyone' can build to 'Company & Alliances' only will clear your list should you wish to return to 'Everyone' can build. - All claim flags will use the 'Everyone can build' as a default setting when placed, and this will also be a retroactive change. However, it will not function until Thursday the 10th of January, where we will release another server update to make this setting active. This means you will have two days, from Tuesday to Thursday, to decide and adjust the settings on your claim flag before the change is live. - Only admins and above will be able to make changes to company claims. - Claim Flags will have icons above them to represent their owner and setting. Your claim flags have a green icon. Claim Flags belonging to your allies that do not permit you to build, have a blue icon, or purple if they do belong to your allies and allow you to build. Claim Flags which belong to your enemies and do not allow you to build have red icons, or yellow if they belong to your enemies and enable you to build within them. - Fixed some bugs related to Sea Claims. - Enemy Claim Flags can now be directly pinged to identify any contesting enemies nearby - The time required to steal an enemy claim now decreases the more Claims that enemy team has. - Looking at your Claim Flag will show you how many land claims you have, and looking at an enemy one will show you how many land flags they have, note that this does not update dynamically on the client for server performance reasons.

different hull configurations are fine, but that's another topic. if you have more weight on the speed hull the ship will go slower, less weight, faster. same with the cargo hull, you have 30% weight on that hull and it will go faster that 75% weight on the same hull. maybe there is some benefit in hull shape that reduces the drag on heavy loads but i am specifically talking about cargo racks here. the way i suggested would be the way most people expect them to work and be universally beneficial on any ship/hull. i am racking my brain to figure out why they implemented them in such a weird way, is there some exploit that i am not thinking of? hmmm i know this is not a ship simulator but the more intuitive a game is the less people rage when they find out weird shit like this.

For treasure Maps they still awesome but as a tame that was announced to Carry "heavy loads " its not capable anymore. Bears Giraffes And elephants Carry More And even reduce weight. I could carry 150k Metal And still jump which Needed a Nerf but now its not a Carry tame anymore. Imo they Need to Double the weight And Give them 25% weight reduction on everything in their inventory, And if the crab is overloaded,thats where the ability to jump Needs to stop

Yes clearly I need to learn to sail... The pic was of me in a power stone grid hunting SOTD that do not exist it seems. 1hour 40mins for 5 ships. The boat was relatively heavy as I wanted a decent amount of ammo to shoot (500+) I do not understand why people are defending such a slow system. Its not about making speed boats it about looking at it and upgrading it (you can do it by fixing sails for a start!!!!). So far they have buffed everything in this game and yet I have not seen any buffs yet to the sailing systems. I will say it again. This is a PVP sailing game where no one is on the dam seas. I wonder why. https://atlas.hgn.hu/grid/na/pvp We had 40+ people playing in my clan now we have 5 and only I am willing to do the 5-8 grid sails necessary because people hate the feature. I understand you guys are a few of the tiny population who like it but clearly something is wrong when everyone is just on islands all day.

i guess u have galleon with wrong sails and its so heavy that only moves like snail on wet stick

does that work during peace timers? damn didn't know the old too heavy thing worked still.

Because of that "heavy block range" im stuck, you can see here: Red is blocked because of the foundation you can see in the first screenshots. Green i still can build in water. Orange shows the spot where i can anchor, more way up i cant because its too deep. And on the right you can see the beginning of a big rock, i cant build around them because no anchor and very deep. So im Stuck at this small position, ONLY because of this damned update. So come on otherwise i have to leave this place and the island i have been since release and after wipe with the same guys as owner. I still cant move any shipyard more left that i have more space for new ships to anchor, no i cant because it is blocked by enemy gate or foundation -.- WE ARE ON PVE, not on PvP or something else, we like to build "nice" and in cooperate with nice neighboors, this is so stupid. Its not Lawless, give the Island Owner the Options to set the Block range from min to max or something like that.
