Can confirm , just got off MidWatch about 10 minutes ago . Debating taking an hour and a half nap before work start again , probably wont though . Yay for coffee ! <| sep |> You have good point . It ' s been a painful road to where I ' m at now in the game . Most of the time it goes pretty smoothly I die a lot but 810 times I get my stuff back , even after a few tries . But every now and then it goes mindmindbogglingly horrible , like when i died halfway across the map from my spawn point and when I went to go retrieve my best weapons BOOM the first pirate invasion happens and it was kind of like in the picture above but a lot worse . I had to start a new map , get better gear go back to my old map and fight off the pirates , but after I took a break for a few months until I felt like playing again . Ideally it shouldn ' t be like this sure , and it ' s a huge flaw that you can lose something that you grinded for hours for and never get it back , but idk , I just quit for a few months and I go back because it ' s usually smooth sailing at least for me and it ' s not impossible to get good gear to progress in the game , just time consuming . it also helps to have the foresight to make backup gear like someone here pointed out , which i dont usually have lol .
