GodsDead, I always assume you’ve got your reasons for things, cause I ain’t naive enough to think this discussion has never been had before

But ships, no one uses them because the current system makes them obsolete, with teleporting and stuff like that

I was thinkin maybe make tpa’s cost something? Something big as well? Maybe you’ll lose a few players and lose a bit of appeal to I guess, mainstream players, but the players you do get would be ones committed to the server itself because of the way it is, people come here for ships but ships are pointless in the current system

As for fire spread, I think that was changed lately but that I was thinkin needs to stay down cause it doesn’t benefit anyone having it on, especially when there’s ships involved

As for ships speed, they do seem really slow compared to other places that use them (Not mentioning any names)

If this is for lag purposes I understand but if it could possibly be sped up we should do that

But my main problem is, tpa’s, what’s the point in ships if you can just tpa anything to anyone

If we had no tpa’s people would be sailing to the cove filling their ships with stuff and sailing out, sure anarchy would ensue, but that’s the entire point, we want anarchy, we want piracy and we want empires to do their best to try and police that

Just a suggestion mate

At least for me tpa’s r a must for working with friends and coordinating raids. My buddy lives on the other side of the world from me and i couldn’t go bye boat as more land than water is blocking me. Speeding up boats would make them more relevant but i think they r good were they r.

Try to avoid suggesting the same thing someone else has already suggested in another thread. We have talked about this exact thing already. Fire-spread is already off for example. The removal of tp’s in the regular world would not encourage ship use like you think, it’d just annoy many people in the current world. The purpose of ships isn’t to force them upon people to transport themselves. It is to have a fun thing they can build and fight in battles if they wish. They can even use them to build bridges and think of new creative ways to raid. You say there is a huge lack of ships, yet most deckhands I see that come on end up building a ship in their first day of playing right outside their newly made base. It’s almost always the second thing they’re excited to try out. For now just understand the system works as is, and there will be something new eventually for those looking to change things up. Thanks

I respectfully disagree with you

It would annoy people, sure, but that’s a worthwhile side effect of a better game long term

Sure they can build in ships and fight battles but where’s the competition if we can’t get on a pirate server and sail around tryna raid places because ships are too slow and because there’s no ships to actually raid

And yeah I say there’s a huge lack of ships, because I’m not counting deckhands who come on, build a ship, realise how obsolete ships are and never play again or just abandon their ship and leave it

They’re excited to try it out, but they’re rendered completely unnecessary as you continue playing

As for the “just accept the system works as is”

I’m not planning on rioting over it mate, but I’m keeping to my disagreements on this one

The_Network is right that if you get rid of tpa, people will quit. It isn’t easy to sail from one end of the world to the other in a lagging ship. In another post about ship speed,Godsdead said ships would either be faster, but no one able to do anything, or you have the speed that we have now. In order to address the problem of no tpa, you would need faster ships, and then people would be standing still the whole time, and life would be kind of boring. I’m going to have to go with The_Network on this one.
