Nox 56 Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) So last night I set myself to the challenge of figuring out what it would take to pacify the golden age ruins at G3 which are necessary for the fountain of youth and turning in the key fragment. The land animal enemy list includes : Giant Scorpions Giant Cobras Rattlesnakes Lions Wolves The water enemy list includes Sharks Manta Rays There is one amphibious creature - the Giant Crocodile One in-shore you have 1 to 2 spawns of undead, and then fire elementals. I've run this gauntlet naked probably 30 times? On the 31st time I got the fountain and never looked back until my woman had to do it. She's not the sort to make this futile run 30 times in a row, and neither are a lot of people judging from how many people in my own company quit coincidentally after getting to 100 and then not levelling anymore. I decided to set my mind on solving the problem, so I looked at sloops people had built all over the game and settled on one that I saw built by one of the guys from the streamer Sirslaw's old alliance - don't remember their name but they had very creative ships. I scavenged up shipwrecks, stole a real sloop and built up a little fighting platform. It's a nice roomy setup, I love how it ends up working out. I put a forge on the top, and smelted enough ingots for some different weapons - cannon and balista, and tested them out. Turns out the balista is a great anti-creature weapon. 1-2 shots the big monsters. It took me about 45 minutes to clear all of the creature spawns on the beach on foot using bow. Lions and wolves you can train into the water and kill, crocs, rattlesnakes, cobras, and scorps you can kite on land and kill. Once I had cleared the beach, the next challege was undead spawning in the valley but those turned out to be easy with bow headshots. I started out solo, but then some brazilian guy from a company I don't recognize started helping and just the two of us cleared the whole valley up to the fire elementals. Once the beach and valley were clear, people were able to run in to the powerstone podium trivially. The bats were still there but they didn't stop people from clicking on it. So there you go. You can fight the mobs, they are easy to kill with even a regular bow. Also, it's disappointing that I was there for 5 hours doing this and not a single person confronted me in PVP. I would have loved some fighting. blackjack and handcuffs were ready for them. The minute I went offline someone picked the boat down and sank it. That right there is the state of atlas. Cowardly little shits. Edited January 29, 2019 by Nox 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nox 56 Posted January 29, 2019 That's a golden ruin shore. People leave boats there to have beds to respawn at. That isn't even the dense side, the other side is far worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is pretty bad. Shame people do that. Makes the shore look like an eye sore or a junkyard. Smh 36 minutes ago, Jean Lafitte said: If you owned the game you wouldn't have to ask.

Are you feeling guilty for some reason? I could honestly give a shit if you do or don't and my preference would be that you not ever own it as we have enough griefers already in the game. No, I'm just making sure that every time you open your mouth and try to convince people of just how knowledgeable you are about this game, I'm going to remind them that you don't know jack.

Oh careful now, that other guy made sure to tell us we never own the game. Which is a good point. You people seem like you want ownership of this even though you don’t have any importance. its all good though. This game will become what it supposed to be. It’s already happening. good talk though, hopefully you feel better now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep trying to feed everyone your bullshit because you know so much better than people who OWN the game. Keep using ad hominems to prove your point. Looks real mature. Firefighter? No, troll... my diagnosis fits you perfectly. Right... There, that was an ad hominem. Do you feel better now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You went a little overboard there man. just to be clear, I know I don’t own the game. I did want to bring up the fact that the other guy(who quoted you on accident) said we don’t actually own the game. That wasn’t me saying you can’t say it anymore but he had a point. how about we say I haven’t bought the game? It is still the same thing right? And hopefully we can all agree on that.
