The D Legacy 191 Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, HansenSM said: for everyone who want more information i found this on twitter: A friend from eric seem's to defend him and give some interesting information:"Atlas killed itself. It is not Erik's fault his entire dev team was stripped away from him and sent to work on another game.It's all about HOW you ask. Dont approach them in a fit of rage. I spoke with one privately an hour or 2 ago, game is still being worked on, but they feel changes were made in the plans for the game, and they have been left in the dark with said changes just as we have been.Wildcard pulls the strings for Grapeshot. They were behind on ARK development, and pull all the programmers out of Grapeshot help to fix it. Leaving Erik with no team to work on his game." So for resume they are working on genesis since some month and should comeback later when they fix their new dlc on ARK well well well, its seems that the shit i have been calling out for months was not wrong at all, "time will tell" they say and it sure did tell!! all this time withstanding personal attacks from the whiteknights of this game sure was worth it xDDD The only question left is: will the current and former players have any dignity left and move on, or will they cling back to ATLAS if they ever decide to continue its development?? (i already know the answer, but guys.. do you?) Edited March 20, 2020 by The D Legacy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Shandy 242 Posted March 20, 2020 i'm a slow player, and I've not finished it yet. I also know the majority of the bugs and how to avoid / get around them. And quite frankly I enjoy it for what it's is at the moment so I'll keep playing until I finish or get bored. Saying that I won't be touching anything this dev team does in the future, I've lost all trust in them. I can totally understand this Erik guy, getting brought in to sort out a game they have no idea in what direction to take it, then stripping his team to work on another game. That's just rude. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HansenSM 11 Posted March 20, 2020 at least they could make a statement about the situation and not leave the community without any information during month and a false roadmap story ;d 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nyt 12 Posted March 20, 2020 All companies shift their employees around to cover priorities. I'm sure there were some Ark employees working the Atlas XBox integration last year, which most likely caused delays for Genesis. They'll return back to Atlas after Genesis development slows down again. IF you're bored on official, there are plenty of unofficial servers running mods that improve the game in various ways. There are servers with different settings and mods that you should be able to find one that fits you. IF you try a very popular unofficial server and it feels too OP or P2W, try a smaller server, many of those are not OP or P2W, just lacking players willing to brave a lower pop server just starting out. Don't always trust a server that states they're not P2W either, do your research and look at how quickly players can buy mythical. The knee jerk reaction of trying to destroy a game with "Fraud" and negative posts because you don't enjoy it anymore, is just super salty. If you're not happy, just stop playing and move on to another game that you can enjoy. You should also ignore all EA games, since you clearly can't handle their development cycles. This is the time when players should be supporting unofficial servers and modders for adding to the game experience while the developers have gone dark. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(i already know the answer, but guys.. do you?) Last Oasis comes out in 5 days.. its not even a question where most current and former players will be going... with what the beta testers have said, its already in a better state than atlas is after a year and a half into EA... as far as dignity is concerned, i'll never trust snail games/wildcard/grapeshot or any other studio that hires ANY of these devs, every again. I put my heart mind body and soul into this game just to get abandoned.. they wrote out the road map in crayon on a sheet of toilet paper...took a massive shit on my face and said... how's this for a development homie.. then i never heard from them again. no thanks. Would take a god tier patch to bring me back after this... and even then, id most likely never buy another game or dlc from them again anyways, on principle. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildbill 142 Posted March 21, 2020 3 hours ago, The D Legacy said: why tho? if you are trying to refloat a sinking boat and the same people aboard doesnt let you do it wouldnt you move on to a better place? I would. From someone who works in the software biz (I test software), I know that if there are 20 people working on a project like Atlas, maybe 2 of them are making all the important design and scheduling decisions. The rest are just working on stuff assigned to them. The typical dev doesn't make any of the decisions that most people here are so upset about. It is irrational to take this out on them. I am also worried this ship is sinking, but I'm not going to boycott some other game just because one of the former Atlas devs now works there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dingiva 16 Posted March 22, 2020 Its amazing how butthurt people can be. Even trying to report for "Fraud" while it isnt any fraud at all. Who cares that people would lose their job?

Enki Anunnaki 240 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) reputation is everything, and in the survival MMO market which is supposed to be their bread and butter, they've fucked themselves for future buyers. a pump and dump will not work for them again. and you act like ea hasnt lost billions because of their shit lol. just look at anthem. battlefield 5 took many years to make a profit.

EA is only still around because selling the same relabeled sports ball games to the lowest common denominator once a year is highly profitable. EA cant survive "real" gamers: Their model doesn't actually work, The Sims 3 still has more players than The Sims 4. Anthem and BF isnt working out well for them either.

Strider 36 Posted March 26, 2020 actually we do have a lot of power/sway in the Future of gaming as customers. Our reviews and social media influences greatly impact the wallets of these companies. And when the bottom line begins to hurt, thats when they know they have not been listening to their customers. I am not a streamer, but i have contacts with over a hundred other gamers in my online community. And so do hundreds of others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
