Enki Anunnaki 240 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Im probably gonna rip my keyboard out of my computer and break it over my knee then body slam my desk and cry naked on the bathroom floor. What do you think? Is the update scheduled for mid to late march getting postponed after announcing a wipe and killing the player population gonna drive you wild? Are you ready for it?

Buck Rider 63 Posted March 5, 2019 You could always come to the forum and read the trolls post "IT"S EA" on every thread. Followed by some made up facts. If they comment things like we are trying to get these things working, it's possible. I wish we had some insight into what's going on. Given the state of the game, this forum and the player base, I don't understand why we don't have a daily post here by them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s literally a disclaimer before you click buy that says anything could and will change. What are you guys called? Ignorant people? Fine.

There is a difference between pre-Alpha state which is Atlas right now and EA. And No, i am not complaining about the Wipe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets not forget for Arks EA there was only one wipe early due to duping and I'm pretty sure it didn't happen again because of how poorly it effected the community despite multiple dupe exploits being found afterward. Seems like Wildgrape has a taste for destroying their games community and trying to rebuild it from the ashes. Edited March 5, 2019 by Writhes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you’ve ever seen Natural Born Killers then you’re familiar with the line ”Look bitch, you knew I was a snake.” Not to excuse it, but this crowd’s history of missing their deadlines is so bad that at this point if you let that surprise or significantly upset you, it’s kind of on you. Mild irritation, some degree of ongoing exasperation, maybe even a twisted sort of amusement. Really though it is only the foolish who take any of Grapecard’s dates seriously anymore. Tbh when they first announced this patch as being expected in Feb, my immediate reaction at that point was “probably around st patty’s Day then.” 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thor Ragnarock 99 Posted March 5, 2019 I mean if the update doesn't come I will just continue to live my life and do other things. Eventually it will come out and I can come give it a test drive. Honestly not minding the break at the moment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh when they first announced this patch as being expected in Feb, my immediate reaction at that point was “probably around st patty’s Day then.” I'm new to how this dev team runs things and I found very early on that they are pretty loose with updates and time lines. I actually like it. They just get things done and do it when they are ready. They play it loose and fast. I think its neat being apart of this phase of development due to this. Most of my company is in the twisted sort of amusement stage. We joke about it. Make bets on when that update that is due in 15 minutes will actually happen. Generally just laugh about it.

DocHolliday 366 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) My group has Ark vets in it so they are used to it. I've been in IT for 20+ years. They handle it how I like to work. I hate schedules, deadlines, policy. I am a managers worst nightmare and best friend all in one because I get shit done.

Remo 43 Posted March 6, 2019 Early Access Game Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops. Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Pretty clear to me... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason it didn't happen again was because they promised they wouldn't, which was the single worst decision they ever made in that game.... Besides perhaps extinction.

Whatever do you mean? Grapeshot is practically notorious for their punctuality, and yet you seem to be implying that there will inevitably be a delay. I can't imagine what might have lead you to such a conclusion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prodesu 11 Posted March 6, 2019 Laughing alot at people already defending them before they've delayed it. It doesn't matter that it's EA, it's still hilarious that literally every single time they delay patches, releases etc where they could just be up front about the dates instead. They're still saying march 20th, but I'll bet my left nut that it's going to be delayed because god damn it they just can't set realistic dates even for the life of them. That said, I'll still play, I like the game, but they're literally indefensible in this guys come on hahaha. They should hire someone else to do communications, because as someone working in marketing I have to say they've done a horrible job with this (it just seems like they've hired some newbies for this, maybe they'll improve. But I've yet to see it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I've yet to see it). i don't think they expected so many people to be interested in the game in the beginning. In thinking like that, they probably only hired a hand full of people and set their ea budget for a slow development cycle. I think reality is really setting in right now for them. Games with horrible starts and small dev teams don't often make it, day z for example. this will be the update that makes or breaks the game and they know it.

That's what I think too, and it's not easy finding good personnel when it comes to this and todays toxic gaming community. It's a tough job for sure. For what it's worth, I hope the game succeeds (I know I'll play it) and that they step up their game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirate Hawkins 32 Posted March 6, 2019 WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN THEY POSTPONE THE UPDATE, YET AGAIN? hmmmmmm.... let me think real hard...... think I've got it..... same thing everyone does when a update is delayed by any company... they will......................... wait 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildbill 142 Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Keep playing on unofficial servers, like I've been doing. They made us wait a few weeks to even begin playing the game. Anyone that can't handle delays hopefully never started playing Atlas at all. Edited March 6, 2019 by wildbill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocHolliday 366 Posted March 6, 2019 I guess I should answer the original question. MY company will be sailing its ships out to suicide at the toughest bases around or the biggest ship battles. If its delayed we will just get more ships. Rinse and repeat until server is down and characters are wiped. Should be fun. None of it will be there tomorrow so make use of all of it. Maybe I'll sail a company Galleon into battle with 40 tames on it set to aggressive. Sail into someones port and fire away. See what the tames do when the ship does down.
