An Update Regarding Recent Claim Flag Height Changes

[DC_Shank 1]

By pillar bases I think you mean mountain pillars because claim flags must be placed on top of ground whether beach side, inner island or on top of mnts. That being said every land spot in the ATLAS is reachable by either by walking, or climbing. I see ZERO wrong with mnt pillar bases. People can spec stamina and climb and use grappling hooks. Such bases are a wise strategy to keeping an orgs stuff out of reach of players that don't want to put in the effort. If the devs are going to dictate how a player can play then why do any of us play atlas? If every valid strategy, NOT exploiting like floating puckle gun placements and floating crew, then why come up with winning strategies? I find it very disturbing a dev would say you cant put that base on a mnt top because its work for another player. PvP is work! Period! 

 

Side note is smaller orgs need strategies to keep their work and stuff safe and inland/mnt bases are a game changing helper. Otherwise the atlas is nothing but a handful of megas where org population is all that counts. In which case everyone not part of a mega should just up and leave or find a entry stepping stool position with a mega. Keep in mind we aren't talking about a few man hours here people are trying to keep safe. We are talking about hundreds to thousands of hours. Small orgs have a right to defend their hard work just as megas do. Its just often 10X - 100X easier for megas because of manpower alone.   

 

Imo, devs should be removing, banning, fixing exploits/bugs (like the one mentioned above) not implementing code that limits totally sensible strategies. So I am all for removing limiting mnt bases all together and I know everyone I run with in Atlas is in agreeance with this because this conversation come up before the xbox x-play wipe/restart. 

 

Best of luck, really enjoying most of your work. Cheers!

So you're going to let us replace the flag again, for all of us that promptly complied with the "move flag asap" request?

I think it is be that we can't contest a island because of structures being built around the flag keeping it to only one company and why have blueprints when you still need the skill it would save the players a lot of time just being able to make the items just using the blueprints.

Cause if things don't get fixed people won't want to play the game .

We also need more servers to reduce the lag and to give people chances to build on islands cause it is hard to build a company area if ass holes take over a island with structures place everywhere.

Cut back on the cyclone spawn how is anyone supposed to be on the sea when you really can't leave the islands due to the reason
