Lord Muke 3 Posted December 24, 2018 I drove by sea for about 5 hours. And all are completely occupied ... 1 clan with 6 island ... It would be suitably restricted to the flag. Thank you. For me, the EU Official PvP game is unplayable. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TelFiRE 9 Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) There's nothing unplayable about that. Take it from them. Claiming land is the whole point of the game... You realized you're in the PvP area right? I could see this being an issue in PvE. Edited December 24, 2018 by TelFiRE 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Muke 3 Posted December 24, 2018 Is there building? If not so much new game does not expire until the end of the area to 8 lvl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funbasket 5 Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) The problem is, the majority of players couldn't make it out of the starting zones for almost 36+ hours because of server stability issues. Those players who were, have essentially had a game-breaking advantage over the rest of us. Once you're out of the starter zones there is almost no lag, so players level and farm significantly faster. Not to mention they have the entire world to be able to lay claim without any major competition. This has already happened on every server, all while the rest of us can't even log in. My mates and I finally got our raft outside of the starter zones last night. Within 2-3 hours we were found by a player crew of nearly level 40's in a large ship, and they proceeded to (unprovoked) one-shot us with guns and destroyed our raft. We were a robust level 8. Never had even a thought of a chance. Edited December 24, 2018 by funbasket Grammar typo 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With most games with a system like this, that is the case...be it through experience (level/knowledge) or materials. The most you can do either accept this and move on and go at it from a different approach, or simply not play it. I hope you are able to recover and move past boat load of pirates, and have a Happy Holiday! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The game appears to be identical to Ark in that if you don't have the numbers/tech, you get demolished mercilessly. I'm extremely curious how this game will pan out long term. Enjoying the ride as is, just wish the game let me play it more consistently. Edited December 24, 2018 by Cerberus Persist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you are able to recover and move past boat load of pirates, and have a Happy Holiday! I understand your point and I agree that is normally a large part of the experience in survival games. Personally, I only play survival games that have some form of scheduled server wipes. That feeling of a fresh server and an even playing-ground is a large part of the fun for me. So in this case, it just doesn't feel fair for the players who could have otherwise kept an equal footing with these guys but were unable due to server stability issues. I've likely logged just as many "hours" playing Atlas as these other players, yet my total time in the game is probably 1/10 of theirs as I've spent most of mine viewing the server selection screen. I don't have the perfect solution, but I would bet that there will be an increasing number of complaints about this in the upcoming days.

The Falcon 25 Posted December 25, 2018 spent 8 hours IRL sailing from a "freeport" to a couple of sectors that were not in the "spawn area". All islands were loaded with claim flags. Could not approach any of the islands without being attached by 1000 gators and 4000 snakes. This game is worthless. Sorry. That is the reality. There is no "gameplay" for most players unless you like looking at endless ocean for many hours only to die at the end of your journey. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

secret 3 Posted December 25, 2018 Yep its a problem. Once you get a boat, youre pretty much ocean locked because everything is 100% taken until eventually a ship finds you and... well... you know the rest. There needs to be better restriction to what a company can do. because if ARK is any indication of the future. with the differing nature of atlas this game will be unplayable in another 2 weeks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellbeard 2 Posted December 25, 2018 Most players I've run into are either constantly battling over land and resources, or belong to a mega-group that dominates an entire square. Atlas supposedly supports 40,000 players per server, but there just isn't enough space for everyone, unless we learn to share. I'm looking for other players who wish to join my company, as well as other companies who would like to band together to share the limited land resources in the game. I know there are groups already out there, and if you're looking to do something similar, or are already doing something similar, I'd love to work together. In this game, the only way to make progress is for us to work together and change ourselves from raft-bound vagabonds into true pirates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparti 3 Posted December 25, 2018 The problem is you need to claim land to build stuff including a shipyard for bigger ships. If you can't claim land you can't do shit. I honestly don't understand why they did not put in a restriction on the number of land claims a singe player and a company can have. (This is not taking in consideration the headstar advantage some players have by getting out of the starter areas early, half of the map beeing start area and at least in my opinion not enough islands to support the current playerbase) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only way I see getting around this without the game changing it's ways, is to form a group big enough to hold our own island or square. Ideally they will change the way this works, but it would be such a massive overhaul and be hard to implement with players already having claims that we should start preparing for what to do if it isn't changed.

Sykotech 16 Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) bump this is true many people who had set their home to a region that was broken for the first 2 days couldn't log in at all. So many got an unfair advantage from the start. I think all claims should be reset. There are probably a lot of claims from people who quit already but now its going to take 1 hour 30-40? minutes to reclaim them, assuming noone disrupts the claim. Also I think this over claim timer is a little ridiculous, you should be able to destroy the flags instead but they have a lot of hp or something.. or the more people standing on the claim site the faster the timer goes down.

Papah_Bill 5 Posted December 26, 2018 I had thought that the initial intent was that each player would be able to place a single flag... placing a second would remove the first... from what I have seen, that is not the case. Multiple claims can be set per person (on PVE at least, this would seem to be problematic) which would end up leading to an Ark-like situation where one person could theoretically claim a massive chunk of land with no recourse for anyone to be able to take it from them.

Lyphe 4 Posted December 26, 2018 Damn this is unfortunate and I feel like I'll be 'out' of the game. What a pointless feeling. So you either join a massive company or you are screwed. I feel like the claim system should be set up that there is always more land than can be claimed, which creates a bit more space, exploration, and still allows people to find and kill your bases. Man, who the hell wants to essentially restart life every time they log in? I guess it's good that you keep your level, but still. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How will this end up being a rewarding gaming experience for anyone if you have to start over everyday just to go take something from someone else cause your forced to and then they have to start over. It will turn into a vicious cycle and make the game the most toxic ever created. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mistermcg 0 Posted December 26, 2018 Slow and steady I think is the way to go for now at least. Band together with some people, build up a bit, hide until you have some defensive abilities. These large companies going out claiming will be going through their own problems. They are casting the net wide but it will semi implode before they balance out. I’m basing this all from what I have seen from ark pvp. Even alphas are not alphas for ever! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
