on pve eu, North wolf, one of the member name Tigra_777 and hes team do it a lot on many grid, seem the dev dont care

And it was still a pain to find any land that I could actually place a flag down to claim. Searched for about 30 zones and only found one piece of land that allowed me to contest. Saw a wolf still alive so I didn't claim it though. The people had obviously just not played this week...probably weekenders I'm guessing. I'm looking to contest, but not looking to contest people who look to be active somewhat recently. Crew members still alive (they'll contest anyway) or tames still alive mean they are just taking a small break and aren't inactive.

May as well put this here to Yeah... well got my base in lawless raided and everything stripped down to stuff that would be totally useless like my cooked fish and meat. I am a solo player who plays as a crazy pirate role-player. I spend my time giving out info, helping others because I weirdly find that fun Logged on at the tail end of it where they were building another schooner to supplement the 3-4 ships they'd brought to carry away all that I'd spent the last few weeks building up so perhaps I could go try do something different and fun in the game like build a brig and put some cannons on it and try killing some SotD or getting into an exciting battle at sea. My level 38 weaponless transport Schooner sunk at port, the pair of near cap bears I'd spent great effort in getting? Dead. My horse, my pigs for poop for my farm, my wolf and lion all executed. My Parrot and Monkey which were part of my role-play shtick which I was quite attached to both slaughtered. My Elephants dead along with a couple of others I'd tamed as a gift for a helpful chap dead .All the gold I'd taken weeks to build up so I could maybe hire some NPC crew gone. The 4-5 Parrots I'd tamed as a gift to give to some people I'd met living in the frozen tundra killed Yeah fuck this and fuck the devs for making this easier with the nerf to stone. Fuck the fact that it was a bunch of Chinese players when I am playing on a server marked EU (not that they were Chinese, the fact that this server is not advertised for that region and I think I am right in having some expectation of an EU player-base on a server advertised as EU that will be largely playing in the hours kept by EU citizens). Even managed to (pointlessly) kill a few of them naked, they were truly terrible with one managing to point blank range shoot his colleague I was punching with a blunderbuss as opposed to me. Fuck teams that come into lawless with 3-4 ships during work hours to pick on players there and, once again, fuck the devs for encouraging this by nerfing my only protection while offline of having prioritised building up a layers of walls and gates, even had a few puckles up covering all angles inside the inner perimeter. I didn't put up cannon towers etc because this seemed kind of like a dick move to pull in a lawless zone bordering freeports on new players just finding their way. The only reason I even caught any of this happening, albeit far too late as all the above had already happened, was because I had to pop home during my work day to grab something to continue my work day and thought I'd have a quick check on things while I drank a coffee. Fuck a game that punishes me for having the temerity to sleep or work, it's fucking retarded. To blow through two sets of gates and 4 walls should at least be prohibitively time consuming and expensive, it is neither of these things. It is way easier to knock them down as opposed to putting them up and I'm sure a lot more fun too, not to mention lucrative. I already have a job, I don't need another. It's nothing to do with PvP either, I've played PvP games with persistent worlds and base building 15+ years ago that managed to not put their player-base through this crap. The fact that recent changes have made this worse, when it was bad enough already, feels like a targeted “fuck you” in my face from the dev team to whom I've given my hard earned cash. Not that I haven't had positive experiences, a few players piped up the other night to say that my crazy role-play antics brightened up their day. I was actually touched that people remembered my sea rescues when everybody was spawning in the centre of the map at the bottom of the ocean and that “I did an amazing pirate voice”. Bollocks to it, I really haven't the energy or enthusiasm for it anymore. Oh and to the idiot going on about NPC protection etc, I had an outer and an inner layer of gates in the direction they came from, 4 sets of walls, 6 npc's on puckles, 2 high level bears, a lion, 4 Elephants, 6 pigs, 1 horse and a partridge in a pear tree and it barely slowed about 6 players who were so "leet" I managed to kill 3-4 of them naked with one of them blunderbussing his colleague at point blank range as opposed to me when were both stationary and I'd run out of stamina, am naked, armed with nothing but my fists and he's in full plate. It's not like I even want to build a gigantic fort in the first place, just exist a little beyond spending the first hour of my playtime spawning in a freeport and sailing out of there in a ramshackle sloop you fucking end.

Here's a quote from Jeremy Stieglitz, one of the co-founders of Grapeshot - "We hope that players will feel they benefit from being feudal lords and having serfs, and not just trying to murder everyone they see." Considering the confusion of this game adding in both galleons and plate mail, it becomes obvious they're not recreating our history but making their own. But, feudalism did exist in our history at the time that plate was used. Which means, feudalism would sorta be period correct. Now, Here's the problem. Everyone envisions themselves as lords and nobody wants to be a serf. I currently have no problem with the claim system. Reason being? I too envision myself as a lord and I have worked HARD to head in that direction. I started solo with a raft, 1 claim and a 2x2 shanty on a wolf & vulture infested frozen tundra beach. And that was two weeks after the game launched so I didn't exactly get a head start. I now have 20 claims. I've built a castle, a sloop, a schooner, a stables, a wharf, piers and a taming pen. I set up public crafting tables and an 'inn' where I'll feed you for free if you need. I have recently recruited a number of players into my company which I consider to be more partners and crew than serfs. I have established relations with a number of other companies and many now know me by name. I have made allies with others and have been invited to build outposts on their claims. I have traders coming to me from 5 grids away because I was able to take an island barren of unique resources, use what the game gave me, and turn it into something others desire. Last night, we loaded up our tames and took both our cargo brigantine and our cargo schooner into a polar region to gather metal and penguins. We are expanding our stables and building new crews quarters so that each member has a safe place to stable their own personal horse and a private room for their personal possessions. In the coming days and weeks we'll begin construction of our combat brig and then, our galleon. I told the crew the other day, I'd love to one day call each of them 'governor' (one objected and insisted on the title of 'Admiral'). And yes, I'm looking to recruit more to join us. My point is this: While I have bitched about a lot of the things I see wrong with this game, not once have I asked the dev's to hand me everything on a silver platter (Stop beating me over the head with a mallet, yes. Silver platter, no). I say again, I have worked HARD to get where I am and I'm going to continue to work hard to keep my crew happy. I'm proud of what I have accomplished and I'm proud of what my crew is helping us accomplish. If you are willing to put forth the effort and forge your own destiny in this game and become that feudal lord then the claim system will reward you. If you're waiting for this game to hand you a claim without effort, then feel free to seek me out. I will give you a scythe, a cow and a few maize seeds as that's all that serfs like you deserve.

My response was to your response in which you basically told me to accept what was and just join a company. You keep saying in your post that this game was designed for group play, you must have a different idea of what the NPC Crew for hire is than I do, I thought they were implemented into the game for the solo and small companies to use as their benefit, if they didn’t want solo players in the game why add npc’s you can hire. I’m not being childish nor am I a pushover, you didn’t consider what other people may be dealing with or you didn’t care how the 2 day claim may affect them or how it may impact the game. I can see you prefer to be in groups, your not the lone wolf and I respect that. I’m not you and I also have the right to my opinion, I am willing to fight for or voice what my thoughts on the matter are. Win or lose at least I said my piece and what comes will come but in no way will I let someone else voice theirs if I disagree with it and I’ll back my argument the best that I can putting as many ideas for one to consider as I can. I can’t stand loop holes, so I try to point out each scenario that I can to hopefully open some eyes that may have been closed or blind sided by their own thoughts. I have no ill regard against you or anything for you because I don’t know you and I was only voicing my opinion as you were

Like an example last night, i shot an elephant in the ass with an arrow did 55 damage and it booked it. Just kept on running. Now from what I understand it does run but comes back....But nope it just left. So I punched it in the ass and now it will attack me. It almost feels like my arrow did to much damage and scared it. That elephant should destroy me. The wolf did get the nerf so maybe it does need looked at cause it just seems silly that a person in this chat said he beat one to death with a spy glass. Seems off. And now the bear, does nothing....should be like Ark where if you get to close it will attack. Got picked up by a lion, it just held me.....didn't even bite me lol something is off. Trust me I'm not asking to get one shot by an animal or logging in to 20 wolf's and snakes looking at me. I just feel the animals are no longer a threat.

Ok, now we're at the core of the problem. Good, something to discuss. The AI has always done that. I suspect that it's based on the amount of hp of the animal and not the hp%. AI have always allowed you to hit them up to a point and then attempt to run away, heal up and come back at you. With the nerf, this may need adjusting as the wolf hp is a lot lower than it used to be and may be jumping straight into the 'run away' tactic. As for elephants, I only had them on my island for a few weeks and they never had a problem kicking my ass when I pissed them off. Since the nerf, I haven't seen one. Look, I'm not opposed to what an old D&D DM called his 'fuck factor' whereby characters would randomly get their ass kicked as result of one person doing something stupid. A little excitement in the game gets the adrenaline going and that's a good thing. Too much of this and you have what I experienced when I went looking for claims, 30 deaths in 40 minutes with 3 crocs sitting on my raft camping my bed until they destroyed it. I have stated this multiple times, there is a fine line between challenge and bullshit. You can add to that, a fine line between easy and challenge. Everyone's idea of where easy, challenge and bullshit are on that line is different. I want to make sure that the complaints about it being too easy now doesn't result in a reverse of the knee-jerk nerf that happened to wolves. If given a choice between the easy we have now and the bullshit we had before, I'll always take the easy because then I can go out and find or create things to challenge me. Not being able to get out of my house is bullshit.

Yes I did and still do lol. It's not the SPAWN rates, why do they run from you is the question lol like serious go punch a wolf and just stand there. It will hit you twice then run away most cases lol same with elephants and why don't bears attack you? Not a chance in life would I ever walk up to a bear and pet it. But in Atlas we have carebears.

^ I don't think you lived on a Cobra Island or Wolf Island before the nerf

Think we a bit off track when talking about wildlife nerfs. Everyone wanted the spawns fixed and we are all are happy they did 30 wolves at your door was a pain in the ass.Same for snakes etc. That is now fixed , but punch a wolf and it runs away is a bit silly, same with other animals. Last night a lvl 14 bear took on 4 elephants at once and won without a scratch lol. This is what I think needs looked at and not the spawn rates. I'm glad the person above got to ride their pony and go visit their neighbours. But at least have some type of danger, not 30 or 40 attacking you but just a bit more of a scare would be nice. Keep getting everything nerfed might aswell change the name from Atlas to My little pony or Sailing with Miss Daisy.

Whereas, where I was, it was wolf hell. Until that nerf I had not even fully explored half my claims. Reason? I couldn't get out the damned door without being killed. Dying 20... 30... 50 times in one gaming session and getting nothing done as a result was not fun. I was ready to quit. Did I have more wolf tames? Yes. But even that was hell because any time I tried to tame a wolf, I got decimated by vultures. I had to build a fully enclosed pen and trap in order to tame. And even then, I didn't dare take any tame out of the FULLY enclosed stables for fear of it too getting eaten alive. I cannot even count the number of tames I lost to wolves, alphas and vultures when I did take them out. I could not go kill wolves and harvest those resource because the moment I whacked on the dead wolf, I was also whacking on half a dozen vultures which would NOT stop attacking until dead. Now, I have finally gotten a chance to see the island where I live. I can now get on my horse and go visit and trade with neighbors. Just a couple days ago, I ran into two groups. One was desperately trying to get off of a lawless. They had a base set up in a polar region and were looking for a small camp to gather wood, and as they called it, 'orange vitamins', which are plentiful where I live. I just happened to be standing beside a claim I was trying to take to turn into a horse trap. Instead, I gave it to them. Last nite, my crew and I went to visit them in their polar home. We had some great conversation, farmed some metal and yeti, grabbed a couple of penguins and had a great time. And, they agreed to let us build an outpost on their polar claim. Ya know what I've decided... You can leave the predators just as they are. A little, 'oh shit' every now and then is nice. But I'd MUCH rather spend my in-game time interacting with other players, setting up trades or just chatting about how lousy the weather is than to spend my entire gaming time tying to kill mobs by beating on them through the walls of my house because I can't get out of the fucking door. Can you tell that even the recollection of those days pisses me off?

On two occasions I have transferred my bear to my boat, only to have it teleport into the air or under the water, then disappear. About 10 seconds later I receive a message that my bear has died. I've now lost two bears to this bug, once last night, and again tonight. Earlier today we had also lost a wolf for no apparent reason. We rode it into our pen (beside our other tames), then about 10 seconds later got a death message. No other tames were impacted, and there was no predators in the area. Might be worth holding off on taming new animals until these bugs are fixed.

the wolf nerf was worst so far . the area i set up was wolf heaven , meat galore , furs galoe,r xp galore now im lucky to see one wolf a day , all they had to do was reduce its aggro range job done , but no now the bloody things hardly spawn no danger at all now , lions one shot from bnlunderbus dead , thats if they even spawn , islands full of elephants and giraffes cows , bulls , ostridges , and snakes that really are not hard to kite and kill anyway, sotd nerfed into uselesness , so easy to take down, few cannons on back of ship and sail away , i feel im playing game for easy mode casual kids

I lost a wolf just loading it on my boat. Teleported way into the air and died. Don't get to attached to tames. They will die.

I swear if they keep NERFING everything I'm gonna leave. Punch a wolf it runs away, shoot an elephant it runs away, stand beside a bear it does nothing, more danger and more things to do is what the game needs. Eat all the proper foods after a bit of time you get buffs to your character, very cool and very useful. Age isn't done yet, Taming is amazing and super fast. If I can beat everything in one day I'll go play another game. But that's me and my view of how the game should be, harder and more things to do.

Yes I drink it right now in O14 , the cavern is in the beach at SW u will see the hole in the mountain and is pretty easy to dodge the wolf and gorgone in front of it

No clue what is up with the servers but only 29 people in K8 and lag so bad its just cutscenes … I have seen faster Claymation … and then go to f8 and with only 15 people lag so bad you take two steps with nothing around and 30 seconds later you take your next step with a wolf eating you … server stability is BAD!!!

Yes, ARK in my opinion had way too many tames and wild animals. This is one of the reasons I quit playing ARK. When then number hit over 100, I posted how ridiculous I thought this was, but I think I am in the minority. Still, nice to see a game with way fewer creatures. I do think the there should be at least one tame that is good at at task, but certainly not everything you tame should be able to fill every role. I would like to see cows being able to be ridden with no saddle, same as sheep, but in no way should they also be a good mount. Why not just remove the ability to put a saddle on a wolf? That would make its role much more clear.

I agree completely, although weight on a wolf is not important. I liked riding a wolf before the nerf, not anymore.

As I said at the time the spawn/agro changes would have been enough without the health/damage nerf. I never had a problem killing a wild wolf I just ran out of arrows when 20 of them came from all over the island to join the fight.

The wolf has been nerfed to the point of being useless as a mount. It's carry weight is a joke (simply having a set of tools, a couple weapons, and armor is enough to encumber it), it is fairly slow, even when not encumbered, and it's health and attack are kinda meh. I guess this is the dark side of asking for endless nerfs on wild animals.

I had my level 71 wolf with me on a treasure hunt. Had it bored my ship....shot up in the air and few moments later got the message it died. Bummer. Def a bug though

Often times when moving an animal to a ship, three times in the last 24 hours, we have lost tames. When attempting to move the animal to the boat it will disappear from view. Sometimes you can whistle all follow or something and it will pop back up. Sadly in these cases it will not. Shortly after you receive a message it has died. My assumption is that its drowning but there is never a description in the death message or company log. I have even tried to rush to the wheel to raise and drop anchor or move a little to get it to reset but they are just gone. We have lost an elephant, bear and now a wolf. Is there any precautions we can do to prevent this? Have tried having them on follow, not follow, passive and neutral.
