To those wondering. This is a exploit cstg and them are using. In order to to this bug.

Have a group of people each holding a sail. Do a countdown and have each person place a sail at the same spot. If done right you can have 2 sails in the spot of one glitched without the ship sail unit points. I figured its better to post how to do it instead of reporting it because devs reads reddit more than their support tickets.

This is broken when done on schrooners...you can go 35+ knots. Obviously we did it just to test we are not using the exploit ourself but it is broken.

Yeah, the only time I've seen devs actually care about an exploit is right after its been described in detail in public.

Confirmed that the update did not retroactively remove items that were already able to be demolished.

Here you go: https://www.playatlas.com/index.php?/support-tickets/support/enemy-pillars-that-are-under-mesh-and-cannot-be-destroyed-part-2-r14745/

The issue is that we cannot find the pillars to pin point their location with "ccc" command. That's because we cannot see them under the mesh. Spent hours swimming down there in suits/subs, we tried mapping the border to find the center and to K mode in it, but still no luck. The only solution I can see is to either add an automatic demo timer which would help everyone, or go into noclip to fly through the rocks/under mesh.

Have the same issue at our island, it's been over 40 days since we took that island now. After 3 tickets this is the official response we got:

"Changed Status to Closed

At this time we are unable to provide assistance for this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We will be utilizing the information you have provided to assist us in resolving this problem via technical/development resources."

Hopefully they add a decay timer to structures to auto demolish.

But let's be honest, though, Ced -- Reddit is a pretty good cross-section of the gaming community. If everyone on reddit is livid, there's probably something wrong with the game.

And the OP wasn't talking about tweaking settings or coming up with new "game modes" like limiting the tribes to 6 players (which does nothing at all to stop mega tribes).

OP's point was valid: The core structure of how the game works needs to change. Somebody shouldn't be able to lose months of work just because they had the audacity to sleep for 8 hours, etc.

some people still enjoy and are not as frustrated or impacted by these issues as you are

I'm sure that's true of literally any issue with any game ever. That's not the point.

It's impossible for me to recommend this game to anyone. I would literally feel guilty if they bought it because of me, because I know they will likely quit within a week because it's so bad as a new player. Even the menus are awful to use and completely unintuitive. If you join a new server through a player invitation, it isn't favourited and you have to remember to do that manually. The chat covers the bottom of the skills list. The inventory is laggy and delayed, most menus are difficult to navigate with a controller - trying to get to the right box in say, the options menu or the skills list is a pain. You can't even filter sessions by settings, or put multiple filters on at once. Say I want to find a server with <300 ping, 20-40 players, >300 days uptime and 10-2...
