First - sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place.

Gen X lady gamer who works from home and enjoys adventuring. I played single player for a long time and got super bored but I am not into fighting PvP but I thought I would give PvE a try and my GOD the things people build! That minecraft generation is wild. But I am starting over and weak as shit. I went through someone’s portal and ended up in the North, right at the little cabin with the 4 nordlings by the lake, broken part of the giant bridge if anyone wants to come help a sister out because I am too weak to venture out far because I have no decent armor/weapons and super weak, I should have stayed at noob river! Alas, too weak to travel back across the map now. Not to mention every time I log out, a few of my craft stations disappear. Please, if you want to hold my hand and help me get armor/weapons, I’d much appreciate it! I am on server official server #3520 PVE g-portal. One of the dudes who builds close to me has some amazing shit but he ignored me :slightly_frowning_face: I clearly didn’t unlock half of the cool stuff you can do in this game - just looking at all this crazy stuff but I was level 60, decent at fighting, shit at building, I had 4 camps (noob river, next to the frozen bridge, next to the city Conan hangs out in, and in the valley where I am currently stuck), I have a great place to farm black ice and had all star metal weapons/tools but too lazy to farm epic armor. Also HATE losing all my shit when I die to I have avoided dungeons/bosses so it’d be cool to have someone along for that. My gen alpha son fights naked with no weapons so when he dies, it doesn’t matter. Savage. He won’t play with boring old mom though.

Also, first time I have ever been on a game forum so take it easy on me!

3520 is a PS server, yes?

I used to be heavy in that server but got distracted with real life stuff. Anyhow, from what you describe you went through a player portal and ended up at the Black Keep/bridge of the betrayer. If you still have access to the portal, look for a stone that has “sepermeru” or “Oasis” in the name of it. If they did rename it, you can look for relic hunter city, or conan city or such thing. The point of going there is because you are probably loaded up with corruption and since you are new, you don’t have a way to remove it. You want to head to the Sepermeru city because in a tavern with Conan are dancers that can remove the corruption slowly.

Also you are lucky in that there is another regular forumite that I know that plays on that particular server.

@Cannipals If I failed her, can you help this poor soul out?

I was heavily corrupted after the portal but it magically went away. I am just toodling around trying to build and craft but as I mentioned, my stations disappear, at least one or two every time I log out. I have been attempting to grow my horse so I can travel easier but my stable keeps disappearing before it finishes. I have one growing now and I am not signing out until this one finishes.

You probably went near someone’s dancer, they remove corruption ^^

If you’re daring enough to make the venture downward yourself consider making a bunch of bedrolls, place them as you go so if you die, just select bedroll and return to pick your dead body back up.

As for your benches and stable disappearing this might be because those specific items do not have full decay timer. If you do not interact, go near or they are not connected to (usually) at least 20 interconnected building pieces/placeables, it has a low decay timer and is removed.

You can check to see if they decayed by accessing your event log, I am not sure the controls on PS, but in the main menu when you’re logged into the server. Ensure you increase days and proximity.

OK so it sounds like you need a lesson in decay timers and bases since you were solo offline playing prior and not familiar with the differences to online play.

Placeables (crafting benches and stables and other things like that) have a very short time before they decay away UNLESS you have a base pretty close by ( a house structure that you build up. Look for a repair hammer that you can build from you characters crafting section. These can be used to repair damaged buildings and placeables (which are not important in PVE so much until you start doing purges) but also show you what the decay timers are for that structure/bench. The more building you do on one base, the more time you get on the decay timer (also if you upgrade to tier 2 or 3 buildings helps as well) to a maximum of 240 hours (10 full days). You must physically visit any building to reset those timers.

These timers are not based on the time you play but the time the server is active (which is where it’s different between server online play and playing the single player game) so that means yes…you log off, the game is still going on around your sleeping body. You ran into one drawback of online player which is the timers but there is another. The NPCs do not reset after you leave rendering zone and will remain until someone kills them or captures them and then they will reset after that. The advantage of online play is that you can stack your benches to craft tons of WIP materials like bricks or reinforcements or planks that will work even if you aren’t online.

@Aerysta @erjoh For sure I can help. As erjoh says I am active on that server. I also have way more stuff than we need as a clan so I can gladly give you some stuff too to help you get started.

I’m going away for the long weekend here in Canada on Saturday but I can help you out tonight (Friday).

If you’re free tonight I can give you a hand.

@Aerysta you’ll be in great hands :blush:

Hi! I wonder if you have one of the cool compounds I have come across (literal castles and such)? I am about to hop on - I am Aerysta in the game as well if you can add me as a friend, if that is possible. I have always played offline games (Fallout, Cyberpunk, The Witcher, Skyrim, etc) so I am a dummy when it comes to playing with others, I am not sure how it works.

Sigh. Just signed in and random npcs have spawned in my camp and my horse is gone, they have killed me 5 times now. :frowning:

Oh geez! I’ll get you added as a friend in PlayStation. I won’t be home for about 75- 90 minutes yet. But then we’ll kick some butt and get you setup with some walls and bedrolls/beds for respawning. Plus some thrall guards!

You might have seen my base. It’s over by the dregs dungeon.

More like it is the dregs :rofl:

Haha!
I’ve been shrinking it somewhat. It’s a lot more hollow than it was. A little streamlined and a little more smaller footprint. And I moved storage mostly offsite to get majority of chests out of the base to try and help loading.

But you should see the other stuff nearby. Two other clans are fighting for space on the north side. Sandstone everywhere lol

Is my creation still being maintained?

A few things of yours have changed like a couple map rooms gone but others are still there.
The dregs and sepermeru ones are still there. Others have the structure still but no map room. But those might not have been your original creations.

Noob river has HUGE builds from a few clans. Not necessarily a lot of stuff on the foundations but lots of foundations :slight_smile:

It was right around my leaving that the chains of foundations were going on.

Haha yeah it’s pretty crazy. But I like that there’s lots of activity.

Helped @Aerysta out this evening. Showed her the PvE ropes - mostly about decay and putting foundations under stuff.

Gave her as much stuff as she and the new bearer thrall could carry! :slight_smile:

Also got the werehyena thing turned off for now.

She’ll level up and kick some butt!!

Sorcery next! :slight_smile:
Thankfully we didn’t fall into any foundations! Small victories!

Cannipals did me a great service! I got it all figured out, definitely a different beast then playing single player. The decay thing was never an issue for me there. I have a nice little camp by the trapper’s hut by the lake in the green valley, broken part of the bridge leading to the frozen north. Stop by and say hi!

I am still leveling up so I can actually fight, and will move on to sorcery next. I had no idea you could recall your body! That’ll make life so much easier!

Again, a million thanks to Cannipals!

Thanks Aerysta!

Hope it’s going well. We can meet up again soon and go get some more obelisks and stuff. Plus whatever else you’d like to tackle next :slight_smile:
