Realist 504 Posted December 23, 2018 Ok the corruption is just worse than I thought. turns out atlas was an ark dlc since there is an ark menu in the title screen. Even had a single player mode. not just that but it really makes sense now that there are only 4 maps that have been copy and pasted then rotated. I thought that was weird but the atlas map DLC was probably going to be those 4 maps. instead of charging a ark map price they are trying to turn it into a whole game. Totally corrupt. They even went through and did minor changes like calling “raw meat” “animal meat” sorry but that is just way too much corruption for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Burass 11 Posted December 23, 2018 It's literally not a possible thing to release atlas as dlc. Not compatible. Its the same company and they are using stuff from ark to to make the game, thats been known for a long time. how the heck is that corruption? The toyota supra has the steering wheel from a camry, doesnt make it a camry. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please stop spreading nonsense, Atlas is a newer unreal engine and would never have worked. A large part is reused from ark what is totally fine. A lot of games do that, World of warcraft,battlefield, call of duty etc. Don't state things if you don't know what you're talking about 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The menus, and everything else is literally a copy/paste from Ark directly. You can even access a hidden Ark menu on Atlas... So yes... it is very possible and already being done. The DLC is called Atlas. Edited December 23, 2018 by Andro Bourne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pirate Hawkins 32 Posted December 23, 2018 Can you download Atlas into ARK? if no, then it is not DLC Can you find ARK in Atlas, well... let's see... Same dev's, same programmers, same code, same base engine, smart people do not start from scratch if they can avoid it, saves time, money, and work... could it have started as a idea for ARK? yup, could they have begun to make a DLC? yup, did they ? nope 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the ark and atlas folders and tell me what you see there. Ever seen something called "scorched earth" or "aberration" in Atlas? No? Because these were DLC´s of Ark...

Using the excuse of "its easy" doesn't mean it is the right way... DLC or not, the fact their is a hidden Ark menu and literal 90% or more copy/paste from Ark, its just wrong. They obviously rushed this out as a cash grab. Delay the game 4 fucking times, you better at least be able to keep the servers online. There is zero excuse for this especially after they knew what to expect from Ark release. They learned all this and knew exactly what to except and yet, one of the worst releases of 2018. This doesn't even mention the lack of communication from their dev team on the issues and their bug fixes or future plans. Supporting this dev team and their actions just makes you part of the fucking problem. Not the solution. Get your head out of their ass and think for yourself. P.S. Just because you can't "download Atlas into Ark", that doesn't prove shit on if it was meant to be a DLC or not. Do you understand programming works? It would takes seconds to remove said options. It doesn't prove anything. Edited December 23, 2018 by Andro Bourne 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atlas is just some kind of a reark. Maybe it is better than Ark itself, maybe it is better than Sot...but it is Ark with the same problems, the same performance issues.
