When they launched ascension they did a lot of recoding with the vulcano etc. Same happens here but on a large scale, hence the huge map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People can update it and still keep past changes noted. It's not a problem if it's outdated for a short period of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not much different than the wiki being a complete blank slate on day 1. What you are saying is a good case for why people should try to keep it updated but not so much a good case to delete information stored on the site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pirate Hawkins 32 Posted March 2, 2019 2 minutes ago, Jozzie McTowel said: No offense but if people "need" a wiki for a game they bought the same day they shouldn't be playing games in the first place, It's supposed to be an MMO, people should enjoy at least the first days or weeks of it without having to go looking up details unless you really get stuck or the tutorial lacks alot of information (like Atlas' tutorial). Can you imagine those google-everything-at-day-one-gamers touching an old game like Majora's Mask when there is an internet outage? so we do away with Reddit? discord? fan sites? in game chat?

Information becomes outdated and people update it. Wikis are not meant to specifically used as game guides. They are meant to store information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirate Hawkins 32 Posted March 2, 2019 the Atlas wiki right now is almost completely useless, mainly because of lack of data, and that reason is because no one updates it, now even fewer will do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pirate Hawkins 32 Posted March 2, 2019 15 hours ago, Huck Finnley said: But the basic code of Atlas is the basic code of Ark basic code of all games are the same if you want to go that far into the sewer you can only write it so many ways, as in one way load and prepare the game level (score is set to 0, lives is set to 5, the enemies are generated and placed in the scene, the main character is placed in the scene, the ammo is set to 100, and finally the scene is rendered) start playing soundtrack music do main loop if (the user pressed a key) then do the specific action depending on the key (e.g. move main character, jump main character, shot the weapon) calculate the AI and move + animate the enemies render scene and the UI (score, lives, ammo, etc) while (the main character still has lives) or (the main character didn't finish the level) or (the user didn't exit or restart the game) if (the main character died) then display game lost screen else if (the main character won) then display game won screen else if (the main user restarted the game) then a new game using the same level is initiated else display the game main menu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wrecked a lot of ships that came to my grid (when i still played) to farm bamboo because someone put my grid in the wiki and was 1 of 2 places mentioned so i got a lot of traffic... and a lot of loot Edited March 2, 2019 by Enki Anunnaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivah BlackWater 58 Posted March 3, 2019 Why in the hell would you wipe the forums, wiki and Reddit?.. there is still a lot of good information and discussions here. Oi!

"Dead Cat Bounce" sounds like the name of really good blues album you found in the back of the music store on a vinyl and now can't wait to tell everyone you know about.
