Red borders should really be rethought....

[GeekyGek]

I'm sorry but the 'ooops you crossed a red border, congradulations! you've now lost your ship, all your supplies, your crew and your life!" really needs to be rethought. This honestly is giving flash backs of the SoTD problem.

Two reasons why they should rethink this:
1) Colorblind people DO play games.
2) Many people have the borders "Pop" into view right as they come up on them and don't have time to turn/stop the ship.

Every MMO/RPG i've ever played has never killed you for trying to cross into a full zone, rather they just don't allow crossing into them. your litterally blocked from going into the full zone. Which honestly wouldn't of been too hard for the devs to do, just full stop the ship, raise the sails and don't allow zone change when they come within x range of a Red zone.

One losing hours of work just because the zone border popped in to late for them to see the color, just isn't something anyone would enjoy and has the potential to be a game killer for many people.

So I hope the devs really rethink their idea about the red zones, and come up with something better, this just gives me one more reason never to sail out on sea.

so yep... Yarrrr! i'll continue playing Land Pirates! (stares out at the ocean wondering if one day they will be able to sail across the world to explore and have fun)

You don't die from trying to go into a full zone.. it just don't let you cross. It's also not just red there is a massive fire and smoke type animation across the zone boarder

There does appear to currently be a bug when crossing zone since the last update so maybe this is what you encountered

lol this guy thinks the game would intentionally nuke your ship for trying to cross border, if that happened its clearly bugged

well not all of us see massive fire / moke animations due to graphic settings, just looks like a red border, just a fyi.

far as not being able to cross that doesn't seem to be the case, and ship was lost. perhaps it is realated to the patch bug while crossing zones.

Ah oh did not know about that running on low settings ok you just see red :(.

Anyway yeah it's related to the bug for sure.. I see one of the Devs updated his Twitter saying he is now awake and going to be looking into all the reported bugs including the ships going pop when crossing zones.

They need to patch their patch, same with tame inventory suddenly dont want to show as an option/access. It is a lil harsh to loose a ship too it but, things like this come up whtn putting out a large patch with content to it. In just about ANY game. I have learned a long time ago, When a game has a big patch, I wait for a day or so .. just incase its going to be A .. Patch and hotfix the lastest patch... Seems many ships are sploding.. (btw for tames/no inventory acces.. relog to fix for now.)
