Pathfinders, Earlier today, an admin’s steam account was compromised and used to cause some devastation on our Official NA PvP Network. To be clear this was not caused by a hack, third party program, or exploit. We have taken the appropriate steps to ensure this does not happen again. We’ll be rolling back our Official NA PvP Network by approximately 5 and a half hours to a network world save at approximately 11 AM UTC (3 AM PST/6 AM EST). We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank for your patience and understanding during this time. Sincerely, Grapeshot Games

Why not just a full wipe to make everything fair?

Yeah but the OP is a solo lone wolf 1v1 genji main and he got wiped. Obviously the game is busted, needs a full wipe, devs need to fix it so he can dominate the NoOo0Bz. TLDR; OP makes these threads literally every six hours complaining about how he can't win a game designed for groups, playing solo and it's all the games fault.

And those of us playing completely fair like you from the get go but have land / built up in areas we'd like to keep get fucked for what? Because you didn't grab any land and aren't willing to do more to get yourself a plot? Nice that you assume anyone that has land automatically exploited the game to get it.

No. They aren't wiping the game until you don't get wiped. No they aren't changing the rules so you can win. Can you stop making threads like this every six hours?

you obviously dont understand then why they made this fix, it was bad, a lot of other players sinking peopels ships. so no, this is one of the best fix's

@Jatheish btw if you ban the hack you need to ban the company that is utilizing off of these hacks as well. Not sure who the streamer is but they need to be dev wiped as well since they are using the spawned in dragons and tanks. if they don’t get banned as well, then we will all see the favoritism. This is your time to prove to us

Wipe the Server.........Fuck Off Block China.........Fuck Off Racist Remove Taming Tree........ Fuck Off Remove Sea Claims.........Fuck Off Fix Siege Weapon Damage..........Ok Remove 2x Resource Gathering...........Fuck Off

I expect some official word on punishing those who were responsible.

Simple solution. Start your own private server so you can WIN (and hopefully stop whining on the official forums).

Oh bullshit. He also said it's not like they ran around destroying the island. They did not hack. They did play with what the hacker created and so would you. But you don't even own this game so you couldn't. Personally, I think YOU should be banned for all the bitching you do.

The hair.... the hair on characters flows really well in the wind.

With all the hacks going on and exploits that made some companies move faster than what the game aloud. Many of us like myself with over 300 hours into this game never got a land claim and are forced to roam around on ships. Stealing a nights sleep from port to port hoping that someone wont sink our ship or block us in. Too be fair you own some land someone docks there you could build gates around them locking them in. Also the taxes are a good idea until you have no land claim of your own. With the buggy or just broken land claim take over it gets old real fast. So the cheaters and exploiters got a push forward in their sails as most of us playing fail were left with a row boat and no paddle. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SERVER WIPE AND RESTART FOR EVERYONE AND ALL SERVER TO MAKE IT FAIR AT THIS POINT! Beside most of use are push 90 and isn't the death thing suppose to be happening and with no children to pass our stuff off to I think this is a must.

This has got to be the worst change ever made. Have you guys not played this game? Sometimes you want to be on a boat to see how they designed it. Sometimes you need to see who owns it. Sometimes you slip and fall on a boat. If the game tossed you back off that would be one thing but to have yourself stuck floating and the only way off the boat is to kill yourself --- utterly dumb! I've lost all my things because I jumped on this person's boat and all to see who parked their boat between our docks. If you want to fix an exploit, challenge yourself a bit more and find a way to do it that doesn't involve punishing other players.

You said let you know if there's any issues. We have and there has been no response. Can you please give us an update.

ATLAS‏ @sailtheatlas 2m2 minutes ago More Pathfinders, We've temporarily offlined our Official Network whilst we look into reports. We'll be restoring the servers online as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and our apologies for the inconvenience.

NO Sure Hell No Meh Sure Fuck you.

Farming & Food Preserving: 1) Currently I am fully speced in the entire farming line with all the bonuses. I have 3 crop plots of turnips and beets. Weather I use the shovel and do the mini-game or not my yield is always 150-180 total for both crops. Making the mini-game useless, as well my husband who had no points in any farming also gets the same harvest yield. Also, having to place crop plots on different structures to be able to grow or in the actual water (this is annoying in the winter regions). 2) Will places that don’t have fresh water to pipe ever get an ability to make a well? Because we currently have 15 water reservoirs we use to fill up about 30 water skins and cooking recipes that take water you just have to wait for more rain. 3) Food Lodders, feed troughs and preserve bags. Food lodders & troughs rot meat and food so fast, I’m constantly having to refill meat in the trough every few hours because of how fast it rots. The space in preserve bags is so tiny. I have just walls of bags because of how much yield we get from our crops (not complaining), sure we can make a lodder that holds more but it spoils so fast it’s not worth it. 4) Can we please make bolas stack. Taming is already a nightmare, between the excessive spawns, vultures, the 3% per feed with the best food & bonus to taming, the “knocked out” tame in progress trying to kill you, you’re sitting here with 3 boxes holding 45 bolas each because they don’t stack at all. 5) building item carry weight is excessive. I have 400 carry weight which I can carry about 13 pillars and 10 ceilings (will edit for exact) of stone. When you’re building a massive base. I understand making it more realistic but my goodness the weight on stuff is so extreme. I understand the alloy cost change to stone gates and doors (they were cheap to make before trust I know I made a ton). 6) Taming has some cool ideas but let’s be honest it is truly an awful experience most of the time and being honest it’s a nightmare. Bolas don’t stack, you have to lower its health several times (not a bad concept), feed at 1-5% at best per, kill all the aggro around constantly, it attacks you while feeding (I don’t understand why this is a thing), if they have a friend nearby it’ll attack you, then after you tame it you have to swim it to your boat (not a big deal) but hope it doesn’t fly off (lost 2 tames because they just decided to fly off the boat into the water that now suddenly has 3+ sharks). I think the rest I was going to ask has been asked.

Much depends upon your temperament tbh. Right now this game is not for the easily frustrated or overly emotional EA or not. Much of the advantage to be gained from playing EA lies in learning the ins and outs prior to launch imo.In that respect you have plenty of time. 2 years at least. I’d wait a bit. Playing a wildcard EA game is a bit like being strung out on heroin. The highs are amazing. The lows are soul crushing. your pets go hungry and your hygiene tends to deteriorate. Holding a job is incompatible with full commitment to your hobby.

What I d agree with, is the ships of the damned. Should be more of a fabled thing that makes you soil yourself when you see it around. Not a scourge that one only has to sail 5 minutes and see 4 or 5 of. Having npc ships that can be attacked and boarded or sunk would be very welcome tho.

It’s an MMO people. The point is to mingle with other players in the game. So TALK to your landlord. Make friends. That’s the whole point!!!! Or don’t. Complain about a fantastic game that you feel is slighting you because someone else has put in time and effort into creating something wonderful with their group of friends.

Hi guys, Just letting you know I'll have Commander 1.0.9 released very soon for ATLAS, lot's of under the hood changes (visually not so much, why change a good thing!) This time around, Grapeshot have provided a wealth of back-end information and software, not to mention Instinct Games Map Editor which will find its way into Commander as a forked project, all this stuff makes great 3rd party apps. For those wondering what Commander is, check out sparcmx.com/commander and the handful of fan vids on YouTube. If you haven't heard of it by now, you've missed so much in Ark life It's the premier spawn tool for admins, used by official beta testers of Ark and Atlas for the last 2 years and I'm sure top floor company would agree. If you love to build in Ark single player, Go Commander. If you need to surgically remove beasts from your path, Finger Cannon has got your back! (cross-hair vigorously recommended). Here are some Pictures for reference Latest ARK Mapping update for 1.0.9 All I need to do now is stop playing Atlas for 5 seconds and pushoff this barge.

ROLLBACK the Servers before you RESTART A lot of ppl Losed their Ships!!!!!

https://prnt.sc/m8k9nr Look at the screenshot and tell me this should be as it is now. Try to counter packs of wolves on the land. There's more wolves than rain drops on the map. What do they feed on? Players, I guess?

Just some ideas for small quality of life improvements that I've wished for over the past 150 hours. -Being able to sort by material type. ie: All thatch listed together, all wood, etc. -Selectable material containers that you could set to only take thatch, or fiber, or wood, etc. -The folder system not working, saving, and having to have the item to set up a folder in the first place. -Lanterns breaking and having to be taken to the smithy to repair, but instead they should be able to be filled with oil in place to repair. -Crafting giving XP. As the designated cook and builder for the crew, its annoying to not get any xp for building everything, while the gatherers and hunters get it. -Being able to build things that are build out of personal inventory, on the smithy. Its just annoying to have to pull the resources off the smithy to build a bow, or arrows, then put them back. -Dyes not showing up worth anything on stone. A good portion of the dyes don't show up accurately on stone. Reds are almost not noticeable. -Those cluster of stupid spiky 'straw' plants on tropical that cover a stupid amount of ground, are annoying to harvest unless you hit the center stalk of the bunch, and give hemp instead of straw...and not even much of it for how much area they cover. -Being unable to anchor in anything but the shallowest of waters. -Resource blocking distance from lighthouses, shipyards and anchored ships is way too far of an area. I know everyone has other issues with griefing, balance, etc, that are being theoretically worked on, I was just wondering if people had any other wishes for basic quality of life things.

YOU GUYS FUCKED OVER OUR 3 HOUR RAID AND NOW WE CANT RAID THEM U FUCKING SUCK DEVS

Is it racism or is it nationalism?

Well, this post was quiet a while in the making. The Last couple of days i spent the majority of my time taming bears, just to have them die over and over again. The time it takes to go to island to gather honey, get back, craft bolas, find a bear, have that bear die to an unlucky wolfspawn, find another bear tame said bear , get stuck in a pack of up to seven wolfs, tame another bear, get ganked by an alpha tiger, and all of that repeatetly really takes a toll on the fun i am having with the game. But maybe thats just me.

Which ressources do i need to build a tank ? For the aircraft carrier...do i need the large shipyard ?

To tame on a high-vulture-spawn island, you really need the whole taming pen completely enclosed. We tried just ceilings and lost multiple tames until we built the fully enclosed pen described above. It's also very nice to feel safe while taming so you can just concentrate on the job at hand, and there is room for a box with extra bolas or food.

Ok so if they open new server everyone here that said no keep your ass on the old server and dont come to the new one! That sounds fair.

Your reason for a wipe is clearly you did not get recruited into a company of any size but expected it to be a solo game. using cheats as the main reason for your failure. I disagree with your reasons. However... on the other side of it, yes a wipe needs to be done for it to be an equal playing ground they have been using dupes all since the start. Gallys being pulled up, items etc.. the mega tribes and smaller groups using whatever they can.

"Grabbing The Ladder" is like a mini-game all of its own.

Rule 1 of Piracy, Bring a second pair of pants. for when the server crashes making you unable to turn and this happens.

WTF HAPPPENING my brick is damaged because of what all planks are brocken are u seriously its the 4 time I WANT ALL MY TIME AND ALL MY STUFF BACK WILDCARD HOW MANY WEEKS I NEED TO FARM FOR NOTHING``??????????? I TRAVEL THE HOLY DAY AND NOW BECAUSE OF A LAGGF MY SHIP START TO SINKING I want a ROllback on PVE immedially!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR give me my money Back!!!!!!!!!! Enough its enough!!!!! U didnt ban the chines wanksters u did nothing to Seriously players and now this again!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the world of online gaming! Do not expect other players to be rational, reasonable or respectful. Be pleasantly surprised when they are. It is easy to fall into the trap of taking the game too seriously. Don’t. Play only as long as you are having fun. When you stop having fun, consider doing something else. Especially in sandbox games, don’t let other people define how you should have fun. Remember that the people you play with are the single biggest factor in how much fun you have so choose your server/company/neighbors carefully. If this advice seems incredibly obvious, it is only because so many of us who have been doing this for years still have trouble following it. And lastly, remember Boomer’s guarantee: All predictions wrong or your money back.

Water jars are better, at only 5 they keep the water from evaporating, and 3 jars at 15kilo's will easily save you the pain of a water barrel's weight alone.

The biggest issue with people who have logged off for said amount of time is that no one knows if they are on a family vacation or not, the internet went out in their area due to storms or some type of natural disaster. The question is how long does one have before the claimed land is given up to someone else willing to claim it ? I know my company offers a 2 week vacation which means I could possibly be offline for up to 14 days, I don't ever see that happening but it's always a thought about the little plot I have claimed and working on, I worry about losing it if I'm gone for to long. Also consider people who may be moving or whatever else may be happening in the real world, I'm not sure about you but I personally would like a little consideration brought into this, I know I don't want to lose what I have and I don't believe anyone else does either but at the same time we all would like to be able to have land, I know the devs have made much improvement to the system by giving people choices to allow building on their properties but I’m still uneasy about that based on not knowing if once something is built does the property owner have the right to change their mind and decide you can no longer live there, so many questions and so few answers.

To add to what CPSPOK has said, you don't necessarily need 1 core per grid if your buying high end processors. For example i run a 4x3 grid on a 9900k @ 5Ghz which is only 8c/16t but due to it being far more efficient in both multi and single threaded performance, it manages it just fine. In addition, if it's a private server that's going to have < 10 people on it, you could make the grids even bigger if you have the memory for it. It's player numbers that ramp up CPU usage as they jump on.

You need generation 2 or higher processor , 1 core per tile(square) & , 3-4 gigs of ram per tile. So you would need 9 cores and 36 gigs of ram for smooth server that size. So to get 9 cores you would really need a small server that has the ability to go that hi in cores. I have found refurbished servers on ebay with 12 cores and 64 gigs of ram that would run it for around $230 with a 1 year warranty.

- Disabled non allied players and creatures basing on anchored or docked ships which can be toggled with a server-setting on PVE servers with the in Game.ini - set bPvEAllowNonAlignedShipBasing=true If you want to allow non allies to be able to be on your ship so no, not just encumbered, this is not a bug and is intended, dont jump on peoples ships. period

this does not really fix the overweight sinking it just makes much harder to do. They could have made a option in the ship where you could allow or disallow non-ally/company people and if not allow just toss em overboard.

"The obvious solutions won’t quite work due to some backend stuff, however, we are actively looking into a more delicate and effective solution."

I'm curious to know how many people think this is an ok permanent fix. Personally, I think we should strive for something better.

I think smaller tribes should be renting land. I am a solo tribe and for me its a lot easier to go out and pay the tax to get land rather than sail for 20 hours and come up empty.

This game is EARLY ACCESS, so any mechanic that requires workarounds should be killed with fire. I hope the goal here is to have a game we all enjoy playing (our way) -- MMO Design 101 -- build mechanics that encourage emergent game-play, don't hinder the player on purpose to cover up other design issues. The issues with this new mechanic are really clear: (personal story) I got stuck while running along the shore -- I jumped over a rise and landed on a raft -- I had to float there until I was dead. I often climb on people's boats to check out cool builds and get ideas for my own boats. I'm not there to grief -- I have genuine interest. In Freeport, newbies cross other rafts to get to their own. (we are all about to die of old age, so this is going to be a real problem for us all very soon) I want to play as a merchant, and this limits my ability to allow non-allied folks on my boat. Animals get stuck on boats too. <-- taming exploit? Simple fix for any scenario PVP or PVE: Turn off weigh limits at anchor - The weight exploits revolve around moving. If you raise anchor with massive weight on your boat it sinks. <-- make this a sliding scale, and give fair warning. This also allows for boat parties, merchant ships, and work parties on boats at port. <-- you know, community MMO stuff. It also allows us to scuttle or claim abandoned boats. <-- Maritime Law baby! Isn't our goal in this forum to make this the best damn pirate themed game we've ever played? instead of wasting time telling others how they should or shouldn't play this game -- We need to tell the Devs how WE want to play this game. AHHR!

Can you tell me one game mechanic that is well thought out?

1. SoDs camping borders, will that change like when they got a restriction to not get near the shores? 2. Number of SoDs, most of the time when traveling atleast 2/3 of ways that can go is walled off by SoDs, that's definitely not a problem in pvp propably since everyone is there putting cannons on literaly everything so SoDs get culled but ppl both in PvP an PvE that have a sloop or just a bigger ship designed for trading/transporting still are forced to be armed on everything, otherwise they have to go arround for half hour to 1 hour just to circle arround them. What would like to see is hem being actualy rare, not everywhere... or atleast much more rare, but stronger, keep the low lvls nearly like now but the lvl scaling put higher so maybe they gonna be much less common but they will put up a fight, right now ppl fear nothing other than red SoDs if they go intentionaly into a fight, they are just either an annoyance or a grinding material. 3. Animals overpsawn, both passive and agressive. Obviously ppl don't complain about passives bcs... well, they don't break their fun, but the amount of animals everywhere could be reduced by like 75%. Not all islands have this problem, was to islands that have 1 predaotr every 3-5 minutes but also was to other islands (an also living on one like those) that get spammed 3 wolves each minute and it just get infuirating, don't even care there is like 20 horses roaming just arround our house if don't even need them to eat, just from 1/4 of wolves that killing have enough meat to satisfy self, already got like 20k hide and constantly getting more (seen a tiny shore island filled with like 30+ horses + 2 alpha horses). https://imgur.com/a/q1CcRsM (some proof, died like 100 meters away from house to alpha wolf and a pack, took 11 minutes of frustration and corpse running, the screenshot shows the pack that moved now to the neightbour an grew in since by 2x, fun right, there's even many more that did not make it in the spyglass view on left and right, atleast anothe 10+ to those on the screenshot) 4. Alphas are not fun if we have no counterplay to them, ther eis no counterplay against an alpha lion, wolf or tiger, they are faster than player and unless we are on a horse, very close to water or behind a stone wall, we stand no chance to survive that encounter and they are allowed to spawn anywhere, not just on like, power stone islands or something. Even slow ones like snakes etc are a pain bcs maybe they are slowr, but they are forced to be dealt with otherwise we can't gather that tree or something, game threw an alpha at us?, well, time to go abandon anything we did and get smacking for 10-20 minutes, unless we use fire arrows obviously..., but that's just an enforced skill right now, fire arrow this, that, everything. 5. Animals agro on buildings, they consider a building like some prey, if is closer than a player, they will bite it no matter if will stick 20 arrows in their butt, even stone walls which they can't damage are molested to no end. Already lost a tiny shipyard bcs 2 alphas and a pack of wolves literaly prefered to eat wood insteed of chasing their target that was few meters away on the shore sticking arrows and bullets in them. 6. Animals spawn inside buildings... please make buildings have an aura like when restricting resources respawn, everyday having to kill 2-3 animals inside own house. 7. Guns suck, literaly never using them unless need to place some long range precise headshot... or simply kill a vulture, bcs they are good only for sniping birds bellow 20 lvl, nothing else. 8. Server performance is again getting worse, since 2 days, experiencing rubberbaning, stutter and timeouts, perhaps battle eye have something to do with it? 9. Yet again about performance but this time... ping, on own grid having no problems, just 5-20 players at once, but was to lands that have 60-100, and gods, the rubberbanding there is so insane that it takes 1-2 seconds for an acton to happen, lion once tried to attack us... 4 jumps, no damage nor grab, wolf teleported across half screen to us after agroing, army of the damned boss coudln't hit us unless we kept standing in one place for like 1 minute, came to that place to do a fine map..., 1 soldier somewhere, who knows where glitched which makes us no longer want to do anything outside of polar/tundra, bcs that 250 ping is not just unfun, it actualy breaks the game. 10. Will traps be added into the game, like spikes or deadfall traps etc? 11. Remove aging?, we don't want to look ugly nor lose character and land/buildings/gear nor get included into some artificial brothel or something (even if that would be just an option on a wheel and we get kid or something, meh) 12. Psst..., read our sea platform suggestion, bet with some adjustments it could be a fun experience for some ppl to live on those, especialy the new players. (this is so not a stream worthy question lol, but if will read that suggestion then maybe will take it as a proper question for the game) Actualy found that suggestion, hope is not too of a shameless plug, just if would like to check it out Jat, the platform part is in the middle of it after 2 text walls which are about ship parts, third is about sea platform, could give some extra space for building for newcomers. Btw, hope can deduce what asking for in every of those points even if they are not formed as questions most of the time.

you could try to play fortnite

Pretty sure they just pulled numbers out of their arses when coming up with weights and quantities.
