My 2 day experience and why I'm done.

[CapnGeiger]

I had fun for two days on a PvE server.

Then, I log in, and all my stuff and my base are gone.

I ask what happened. I'm told in pub chat about the resource that I'm expected to feed my base hub, even for time logged off not playing the game. Then the player teaching me lets me know that "The game does tell you. It's your fault you lost your stuff."

This is the moment that I decided you know what? #%$! this game. And %!@% this community. And never played it again.

my condolences

Can you disable this in your game settings if you just want to play a solo private game?

Yes its called castle deterioration in advanced settings you can shut it clear off for solo play. The timer will still tick down on the base but it wont destroy.

Bunch of 3rd graders here that need to learn to read tooltips. Christ almighty what is the matter with people these days. Boohoo you lost a whole 2 days worth of progress on your castle, that's nothing.

I really don't see people telling you to "lap it up and like it". Seems more like people are telling you that not taking the time to learn the mechanics of the game (which hold your hand quite a lot) is your own fault, not something you can blame anyone else for.

But I'm assuming based on previous behaviour in this topic that you won't listen to these words either. I've also reported those comments of yours that include abusive language. I hope you get better.

Good riddance, from this post it's obvious you're toxic as ♥♥♥♥ capngeiger.


Edit: By the way, if there was zero decay on online servers there would be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ everywhere. Games like this need decay for public, online, servers.

Honestly, you can just stop playing. A public announcement wasnt really necessary. No one cares.

Not likely that someone with the number of diagnosis that I have will ever be ok with having money just taken from me.

Here's the rub: I did learn to play. I played solo on private for about 7 hours to learn the game. And it DID NOT delete me for setting the game down. It didn't include tooltips that told me the mechanic would be different on official servers. And when I moved to a pve server after learning the game on my own like EVERYONE ABOVE SAYS I SHOULD HAVE it didn't warn me.

This is all nonsense. And yes, I'm reacting abusively to having money taken out my pocket and to people telling me that it's ok that the money was taken out my pocket. Yes, I am, because that's the appropriate response to the world taking money out your pocket and gaslighting you about it.

Strange... There's an annoying timer in the bottom right showing you how much time you got in your territory. Even the first time you make a castle heart and fill it should be obvious that your dealing with time decay.. I agree with the guy that said its your fault, I'm positive he didn't mean it in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ way.. Seems like your over reacting at peoples help.. PvP games have this mechanic. Your base and character usually stay in server when you log off..

It doesn't work that way when playing local server. And I wasn't playing PVP. I wanted exactly what the tooltips said pve servers would be: Chill building.

I'm not saying these mechanics shouldn't exist. I'm saying that on launch week I shouldn't log out, sleep, go to work, log back in to completely deleted progress. Period. that's it.

Except it does... its in the bottom right of the screen. The Character will even make a comment about it.

Also how is this money stolen from you? You can still play the game. You can still play on a local save, you can still find a server that doesn't have decay. Its not like you have to pay for every server you join or new game you start.

Despite what people like to say here. Playing on a public server is not "the way" to play this game. If you want to play with other people sure. But if you're reacting this poorly to people on a forum who aren't even really being all that rude. Might I suggest that playing on a public online server with pvp and potential griefing and server resets is a bad idea actually?

I was on a PvE server and griefing has nothing to do with this. I've played plenty of ark and rust, understanding survival game culture is not the issue here.

There's a gigantic clock onscreen when you are at your base trying to tell you if you're remotely in danger of it running out, so if anything the only real way to make you look at it more is if it was in the center of the screen instead of the side.

It only takes maybe one dedicated play session to get this to the point where it's not an issue unless you just decide to leave for several days, but even so, it takes just the same amount of time to get all of that back pretty quickly, so the only issue here is that you just want to camp a spot on a server like you own the server and it's your single player save.

Incorrect. I'm allowed to turn the game off and live my life when playing solo.

You are willfully missing the point that my issue is that the clock kept going when I wasn't in the game and that the consequence was instant deletion of all progress. ]

I want my money back.
