What is a feature that new players wouldn't believe used to exist?

@zeppop

You could claim two islands before the Empires Update.

You mean two islands that can’t be claimed now? Yeah, those are Goso Jungle and Darkpine Isle.

Imagine if a new player spawned in and immediately saw walls taller than the Jaws on a tiny little island with pine trees.

Rising ping bandits so sugoi…

I’m not even remotely a new player (been playing since the Dark Sea update) but I still can’t believe there used to be a bait mechanic for fishing, that and ammo for weapons

[wintertia]

actually having to use the compass to navigate was so tuff but now we have a direction marker in the map (BORING!!!)

[Kyufalls]

Map markers

So at this point it’s not even a discussion. It’s been said so many times, the game needs either map markers or a player marker so we can see where we actually are. Whenever the issue is brought up some people start saying stuff like: “There’s no map markers in real life” well obviously there’s no magical beams that point you in a direction in real life but that’s not an excuse to not have them in a game. I understand people may think that it might make the game more immersive making the pla…

I just found a post about it, I had no idea you it was like that before

alr so having no player marker was kinda annoying as balls i agree with the people there but having a direction marker pretty much almost always invalidates the compass for ship navigation

now i only really use the compass for quick sense of direction when im NOT on my ship, cuz i used to always attempt to get a perfect line up of direction from my compass to my destination and that shit makes exploring a little more satisfying

id rather they add more details to the compass like N W S E letters than adding the direction of the player LookVector to the map (it still sucks when ur not steering the ship cuz its gonna look like ur moonwalking)

There were no dodge reflexes.
Also agility was a stat and weapons had only 2 skills on each which you couldn’t change.

Beast Instinct was disabled at one point because General Argos’ BI-like attack could cause players to fling anywhere on the map, and it could just delete Fort Talos.

you could get a functioning, viable build within reasonable time rather than spending 10 hours in the dark sea and gem crafting.

[zeppop]

no like before empires update, ONE player could claim two different islands at once.

Dashing used to have a 1s cooldown which is now 1.5s

dude ikr. if u got a sunken sword. ud either hold onto it as a clean item so you could get more and trade for a strong sunken sword. or you rolled the dice, and enchanted it and pray u got strong and not hard or swift. shit was just gambling cause ud drop the player value of the item by getting a bad enchant
