    I wasn't going to reply to your personal insults, but since it's become part of the discussion here, I will.  As others have pointed out, YOU brought up textures.  I didn't reply to the other parts of your "questions" because I was interested in what the discussion would be.  It seemed to me that both topics were started in a very defensive and obnoxious way by you.

    Then you invited me to wait for you outside. Twice.  I don't know where you are from.  I am in the USA.  That is an invitation to phyisically fight here. Is that how you meant it? I can only guess.  But it set you up as being overly aggressive and in fact the "butthurt" one. My "insults" were not all that bad, but they were in response to your overly aggressive response.

    I don't care if you criticize the game. Or make suggestions. That's largely what this forum is for.  But your complaints about the colors and the textures at this stage of development is just...   It's like you don't want to deal with reality.  Like complaining that the sky is blue when you think it should be pink. When I said that what you were suggesting would be a ground up redesign, you blew that off with "modders do it all the time."  To which I responded, that mods and CC don't really work all that well, in my experience. The just paste of the top of original content. They look and act like they are pasted on the top, which is what they are.  To change the color scheme and texture scheme would require reworking lighting and shadows, and animations. You know... a redesign. Also it gets into branding and overall feel.  I can understand it being an issue.  There are games I don't play because I don't like the feel of them.  Minecraft is one.  I love building.  It's what drives my interest in most games. I can't get past blocky pixels.  So I don't play.

    You never commented on my assertion that mods generally don't do what you claimed. You just started bashing my response.  If you want to have a discussion, that's groovy.  But do it.  YOU are the one who came in being rather obnoxious from the get go.

    I was trying to rescue a player who was not online, but on a raft drifting. I tried pushing them toward the shore. It was really impossible. We can craft ropes, why not allow towing as an option?

    I noticed that placing an object resulted in it not showing up, but if I logged out and back in again, it showed up.  This happened until I restarted the server last night.  Not sure if it's happening again today but will keep an eye on it later when I get a chance.  Maybe related to the lag in picking things up that bb cakes reported.

    That has always happened to me in placing items on my ship. It's always either crystals or lanterns.

    As predicted, the lag coming in is worse.  But things seem a bit more stable.  One thing I do notice is that my character has to try several time to pick up items.  It's not quite the thing where they just keep stooping down, it's actually picking up, it just seems... sluggish?  Everything else seemed better to me.

    Adding textures to a game isnt really something u would call a graphical redesign. Modders have done this for a long time. And secondly, im under the impression that Ylands will be developed further past release. 

    Mods generally suck, IMO. And yes, to do this properly, it would be a redesign. You would have to deal with how lighting and animations are effected. One of the reasons mods always look crappy is because they don't do this.  

    I play The Sims 4 a lot. There are gifted creators and mods. But most CC either clips weirdly, or doesn't quite fit properly, or the animations just ignore it altogether.  Also, it makes sharing your builds problematic.

    You should find a game that pleases you. There are many out there to choose from. Ask your mom, she might let you use her credit card to buy one.

    Frankly, the repeating pattern would drive me batty.  The style is the style.  There are games out there with the textures you want, go play them.  But no, you come in on the last days of early access and are asking for a graphic redesign because it would please your aesthetic tastes better?  Seriously?  I hope there are nice textures under your bridge.

    I think it was more like 4 hours, and in that time, I got about 10 minutes of game play.  I will probably try again today because I am a sucker like that. But if it continues on, I have an SP build going.  And Sims just had a new game pack this week....

    There should be a key of some sort that extends possession / ownership / protection to ships and the goods on them.

    Or admin should be able to specify the level of aggression allowed. I know some teams play real survival and battle. Some of us like exploring and creating.

    Thanks for the update Ane.  If you need any volunteers to test the saved game compatibility, let me know.  I can spin up additional servers using the saved game that I already provided to your team and have some of our regular players check things out.

    I spend looooots of hours playing. I would be happy to test.
