Been with this game since day 1, working hard, playing as well as I can, gathering my ass off... and just had my galleon griefed and sank in PvE.

[Dragonchampion 107]

A guy pillared my boats, sank my galleon, and taunted me in the main chat. I guess... he won. None of my friends have the drive to continue playing after that, and I don't want to just mindlessly gather for a week. I guess that's it.

I love Atlas. Everything about it. It makes me feel good, love the progression, and love everything about it. I love the people, I love the trading, I love the combat. Bu I guess it's over now.

Thank you, Atlas, for the best month of gaming I've had for a long, long time. It means a lot that I got to play it as long as I did. Thanks, guys, for reading this eulogy, and I do hope you don't have this sort of luck either.

NA PvE. The Devs can't refund for ships, so.

Dude for real? Just get over it!

Unless that guy was using a hack or breaking the rules then you shouldn't complain.

Just grow a set and get revenge.

What is he going to do on a PVE server? Nothing PVE servers are lame, you cant even fight back when people are doing this type of stuff to you. You at least stand a fighting chance on PVP servers.

ignore the chat and sink his ships how he sank your or just move dude!

Nice post, OP.  I'm feeling the same way, I suppose.  I've had fun since launch but there's almost nowhere to build with people having multiple land Claims and those Claims are locked down by the crazy 6 hour "any-passer-by-resets-it" timer.  IF you can build, the griefing and exploiting even on PvE is enough to ensure nothing is safe - at least on PvP you can do SOMETHING about it, even if it isn't much in some cases, but overall the situation is worse on there.  There's no prospect of being left in peace in any Official game mode to enjoy your little slice of Atlas and just build, trade and explore.

Playing a 100 year-old "Pirate" who, in reality, has to slave every hour he/she can as a Lumberjack-Farmer-Miner simply in order to try and keep a small base running and a ship afloat, with one eye constantly open for griefing and wondering what will be destroyed when you next log in, is getting less and less entertaining by the day.  It's also the first game I have owned in 20 years where I dread them bringing out an update, because everything they "fix" or introduce just results in more broken game mechanisms, more exploits and new ways of griefing.

With what? Our ships are pillared, and he will probably sink them by morning.

I'm not one for revenge either, but in this instance I quite agree with you.  OP, just do to him what he did to you.  Get as many people as you can to do the same.  Pillar under his ships and see how he enjoys a bit of that himself.

The thing is, I'm way too soft-hearted for that. I guess I truly need to "Grow a pair" but I'm the storta person who hung out way too long in the lawless zone, because I loved walking up to newbies and suddenly dropping a sloop's worth of materials at their feet.

Were you in L4?

Sounds like you need to read my post about unlimited land claims bad idea because you feel like there is no where to move to.

Well, assuming he is in a place near you, you all load up with wooden pillars and you all walk over, swim out and pillar around and under his boats.  Is he on his own?  When you say "our" how many people do you mean?

We were a good chunk of maybe 10 people with intermittent login times. Everyone was getting bored of just gathering though, and I guess that's why i started to talk in world chat when I gathered. And then I said something he didn't like... and now here I am.

And he lives on another island.

Sorry about that. Wasn't my intention. Not really intending for the devs to do anything, I just wanted to thank the community for giving me a really fun game while it lasted. You guys are just as much a part of the game as the game itself. And you guys are awesome.

I'm going to bed, but thanks, at least, for being here to talk to.

Scorpion, the OP is just a nice person trying to explain in a calm manner what has happened to him. No need to be a total cunt just because you wanna feel like a keyboard warrior.
