iconic.havoc@gmail.com 1 Posted January 12, 2022 So, just playing on the Atlas official server. Pretty neat! Pulled in a few crates and feeling pretty good. Landed on an island. Well, a heatwave happened and the game crashed. Ok, cool. Well I restart and get greeted with a "you died!" message. Meaning I lost all the stuff I had, my raft, and now have to respawn at my my bed where I can't build a new ship or a freehold and waste an hour or more traveling back. In no way I think this is needlessly punishing or pointless and definitely makes the game far more fun. Paying $30 for work and frustration is a great deal, a great deal.

Yeah, the devs suck big time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gorelander 38 Posted January 13, 2022 Happened to me many times in this game. Fortunately it hasn't happened to me in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is bad luck if your bed on the raft got destroyed while you restart the game. There is a reason this game is a survival game. THe beginning is realy harsh if you realy try to survive. After some time so you will learn to die and respawn, just make sure you have beds around. If you are crazy like me you try to not die and keep your food and vitamine in balance just for the fun of doing survival. If heat waves are an issue for you, now you can build a wonder to get permanent +20 fortitude buff. But just to let you know i even don't know after ~3000 hours Atlas how much fortitude you need to survive a heat wave with +50°C. But i play in Africa region now in Desert and I did not die there due to heat yet. I skilled 10 points in fortitude and wear the basic clothes for best heat protection. If you wear leather or plate armor you have more issues. Jump in the water and make you wet and build a shelter to stand under and wait the heat wave to end if it's going to kill you. With vitamin buff you have additional +20 fortitude. But i have 200 HP skilled so I can withstand the double amount of damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything done to mitigate heat does not work. Devs should be working on dealing with all the stability issues instead of releasing new things to build. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

George of the jungle 77 Posted January 14, 2022 Just a quick reminder. Some douche streamer comes on and all of a sudden everything negative gets “hidden”. way to prove us right. That was pathetic, and you should feel shame very day for the entirety of your existence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
