For whatever reason some People get higher fps with higher graphic settings

Its called optimisation, or lack thereof.

As far as my Knowledge goes a higher graphic Quality usually decreases fps instead of booosting it

Waiting for them to say they are finished with wipes.

Yeah, look it up on the internet. If you get the same or higher frames with highest settings, compared to minimum settings, then that is due to poor optimisation.

So the thread turned into rig boasting and snide remarks. If it's going to run on a shitty console i am sure your rigs are fine. I will stick to my points about the blocking of the islands and hope the devs change it before the XBOX release as the players there will flip shit and not play either. Sure there are a few other bugs but for the most part it was the gate wall spam that would lag you to death. If our rigs can not handle it then, RIGS that are 10x faster and stronger than XBOX then they will be having a very shitty time. Cut the game braking baggage. free up the islands and let people play. I Personally play games for the sense of freedom they provide, freedom that otherwise is not allowed in reality. that's why i got a pirate game.

searching for gold and raiding and generally goofing around. but no a group of 5 can lock down the hole island stop thousands of players and kill your game. i know this because we did it. If we did not have the walls and gates we would not have been able.

Wow. Um. No. Not really.

Anyway... Did you crash your ship into a wall after it failed to load or something? Seems you're very focused on the need for a replacement to spam that causes lag. Maybe instead of focusing on why you locked down your island so it lagged, please remember why you think talking about "freedom" is the reason you play video games.

It's actually possible to look at the possibility that there can be walls and gates that makes somebody focus on them so much that they forget other stuff, as a positive. Instead, people think that they themselves somehow kill a game, that they never really played.

No but i have seen it done and thank you for adding to my point. if its a problem now how do you think the xbox will handle it. even if they are able to stop that issue the wall its self is a problem. and ask yourself what is it really guarding. and fortress of junk is my answer. not the real reason people play. I know this might flip a few people out but sea of thieves has a larger player base and i believe it is because of the free open spaces. that and a easy play style. true they are different types of games but kids can not deal with that shit. people who work cant do with it either 6 hours grind to get a good ship with cannons and ammo all the base and stuff to build it by which time they are done for the night.

in there lies the issue one that ark players know to well. the solution dose not lie in walls and gates but the time it takes to reach one goals. Atlas has already beat sea of thieves in content and lore they just need to balance the time. the endless slog of hitting rocks and trees.

[GoreJar Horizon 4]

my suggestion in cuts would go even harder but a little at a time might prompt players to return. the things they add and change are great just the base aspect is off. im not just saying it as im angry more concerned.

[zottel 297]

I Dont Play in PvP but if the Island is sourrounded by large Walls And Gates there are less structures than of you build the Same with normal Walls i guess. So wouldnt  that reduce more lagg 

[GoreJar Horizon 4]

its more of a time to load as landlubber was saying the ship is going faster than a guy walking the beach. i think they make it so they load in chunks to but can not be sure on that. and i know it kicks people out some time on the first log in even if you have a high end rig

[GoreJar Horizon 4]

not just a lag issue its more of a game play issue. stops the flow of play kids and well all player dont want it. the small group that still plays it can defend it all they want but all the players that left disagree and they far outnumber the player base that is. at some point players must come to the realisation that they a wrong and the player base needs to return. the product is not doing well and needs to change.

[eeeceee 116]

ehhhh

i'm not replying properly here but here is this bunch of text below:

in ark, the structures load as you go. this was not the case a year ago. i have a base in ark that has been there for years, and neighbours that had a base so big that it would crash my computer. there was lag. nowadays, i fly past this base matrix style, the building parts load in bit by bit, appearing next to me as needed by "the system", i do not slow down.

thats my point big walls like big base. make do swear words lol yes there is lag but we have alway had a bit here and there. but it the yo ho ho bottle of rum sailing around trying to fill my tum tum oh fuck a giant wall around the world. game breaking bro

[eeeceee 116]

I was trying to say that i looked past the walls, to see the other side. Yes, if something is gamebreaking, it is gamebreaking. If you can't physically do something, then you can't. Just remember though why you play games. Being able to look at walls and past them is not why i play games, its to do that and everything else. An answer that could be given to what you're saying is that the game then becomes one of not lagging - everybody lags for the same reasons you do. Therefore, everyone is still playing the same game. Just gotta stop for a moment, let the game load some more. 

Possibly relevant: I knew somebody that played ark for years on their mac laptop (lol) with 3-5 fps. I could not play on that laptop. When I did try to play, I died horribly and cried about it irl. I was physically not able to play the game using that laptop, and had I not owned a computer myself, I would not be playing ark at all. This person played ark and enjoyed it for what it was, and was able to make it what they wanted it to be. They currently do not play however, due to performance of their laptop (they saw ark on my computer.)

ok yeah that great, but there very existence drives players away from the game. over 7.000.000 copies sold and the playerbase is just over 4.000. why are you arguing or debating. take the walls out and the gates, make players build like the npc town. they can move inland if they don't want to get hit by cannons. people brushing of problems is not helping the game you are letting it sit in shit. Ark players want it to be like ark let it shed the skin and become something else. let the game become Atlas free of the old ark game. cut back on buildings even cut stone altogether. make ships tougher as they are the grind, you baby, you freedom as jack sparrow says. more ship types. i know a landlubber like yourself don't want them but why play a sailing game and push 7.000.000 players away with you ARK player bullshit.

[eeeceee 116]

I'm trying to discuss something, not argue or debate.

There's no question that walls and gates causing a problem, is a problem. Nothing I've said is brushing off problems or letting something sit in shit.

 

[GoreJar Horizon 4]

and add those cool glass ball lamps and lamp post you see around town, people loved those lol

[eeeceee 116]

Not sure how a pirate game can be a pirate game without grog mugs made outta that ol' timey coke bottle glass window glass. Ol' timey windows and lamps would be nice too.

other thing is the sails on ships. stop mid sails on sloops and smaller ships it defies physics they would flip the ship and increase the speed of smaller ships

[GoreJar Horizon 4]

and work on how build objects mold to the ships love how it changes the building pieces perhaps ships storage could act in the same way, turning into wall storage.

[GoreJar Horizon 4]

and sort the treasure maps out nobody can be arsed to climb the stupid mountain. and level the loot

[DocHolliday 366]

I love it when people hate an aspect of a game then turn around and use the player base leaving as leverage to get it changed to their liking.

the mechanics of the game are stopped by others in the game making it shit to play. You are a smart guy you already know this and given the rest of your posts you are likely the friendly neighborhood troll. Well you do the game a diservise defending to poor state of the game. the devs want to make a good game early access gives them chance to get player perspective. its players duty to tell them what we want. but in ark defence there taming system is much better.

[GoreJar Horizon 4]

is this what you want Doc 

 

yes its better now but its still got 4000 out of 7.000.000 players. i wonder where did they all go
