    I'm walking down the hall at the office. I pass a seam in the wallpaper where one panel is slighter darker than the other and for a nanosecond I feel I need to do a repair.

    Hi together, i hope to get some information about the next update. You release some Information about the new Islands, but will it realse with the next patch or a week later, what will be with the deleted Islands? The Settlers? The Claimflag? The Ressources? Is there a wipe incomming or only a wipe of the affected Island? - Alternative map layout (note: we've not yet determined whether this layout will make it to the current existing official servers) There are 76 new islands which can be found on the following grids (many existing duplicates have been removed): F3, G2, F14, H2, G14, H14, O2, I8, J8, M14 ,N1, O1, C2, M8, O8, G8, K8, E8, C8, F4, F2, G3, O3, N3, L2, N2, M3, O14, D15, N15, K15, J15, G15, O15, F15, I15, N13, N8 i hope someone important will read this, and will be able too place some real information for that! I still remember yout last video for the May Mega Update, one month later there was a wipe... and now... the PTR is online without facts for the future and my teammates are confused because of no information again.... dont let us play and invest time for new ressources, bp or tames and in 2 weeks we get a info from the wipe again.... Sorry for my bad english

    Haha a neighbor of mine has a bunch of freshly cut firewood in his driveway. I drove by and immediately debated in my head if it was wetwood or strongwood.

    When I am hiking and I look at a scrawny patch of trees and the first thing to come to mind is "I wonder what kind of thatch that produces?"

    My apologies, I think we misunderstood each other. I do not assert that EA and Alpha mean the same thing. Only that a game in EA is in Alpha stage, or possibly in Beta. I don't frown upon Grapeshot for not clearly stating if Atlas was in Alpha or Beta as I don't think Steam requires you to make this distinction when you put a game out in EA. My point is that being in EA it is assumed by steam, and therefore the players, that the game is in Alpha or Beta at best. -CS

    Developers your game is crap! Problem 1) Skill tree, is terrible it creates a bunch of clones out there playing the game everyone have about 60-70% of the exact same skills!!! Where is the diversity??? Do you know what a skill tree is for??? Where are the professions??? Suggested Fix) Put in Professions make people different!!! If your a Master Shipwright because you invested all your skill points into it then you barely know how to make a campfire and your go to weapon is a hammer!!! If your a master Tamer you don't have a clue how to build a ship let alone a house!!! If your a Master Logger you cut wood like nobody's business the tree's fear you but those rocks laugh in your face as you have no idea how to get metal from a rock!!! And for the Love of god TAMES are not the end all be all of everything... They should never harvest anything faster than a human who specializes in harvesting that item! Problem 2) Why do you insist on being able to claim an entire island or put down 300 hundred different claim flags!!! Why can't you figure out that all you need to do is give 1 person, 1 claim flag that claims a SMALL area NOT AN ISLAND..... Problem 3) PvP your grandiose ideas of giant player vs player battles with No rules anything goes is a FOULS DREAM. Your style of game is a harbor a paradise for toxic behaviour, it's a place where griefers and trolls run rampant because you don't put in Structure and Rules that are NEEDED for pvp to work!!! That 1 claim flag above should be a person home there castle and it should not be a place griefers are burning down at night while a person sleeps it should be a safe location a place to keep valuables. For PvP to work you need Offline Raid Protection (ORP) Claims should not be raidable and Ships that are Anchored should not be sinkable! Lets PvP happen at Sea when everyone is at keyboard.... Problem 4) You idea of sailing is lackluster at best your concept of Sailing that bigger is better is sad and stupid. Games like Pirates of the Burning Sea and Naval Action demonstrate how Wind and sail types come together to create Strategy, was to run ways to chase, ways to make a player think.... For the love of god give us Lanteen Sails and Gaff Sails and Spritsails and (Topmast) and give us more ability to customize the hull or more hull types!!! And Most importantly a heavy Galleon IS NOT the fastest ship on the water!!! Sailing is not just raise the sails and aim the ship opposite of the wind.... Now I am going to stop this list here as I don't want to overwhelm you with issues! These are some of the Worst and most glaring if you were to fix this list you would make this game about 1000% times better but I am quite sure this like so many other posts is going to fall on DEAF ears and that's also why I am going to save my breath and cut this list short....

    Have you thought of putting a map with pvp and pve areas together like a lot of the private servers have made so that small tribes can enjoy the ship pvp without having their base trashed by the large tribes and have a safe area to relax when they want to just build.

    Dear Grapeshot, I wanted to like your game, but unfortunately in it's current state I simply can't. Every reason I came to play this game has evaporated either because of bad game mechanics, incomplete feature implementation, or just game breaking bugs. I know it's EA, but I have played a tremendous amount of early access games over the years and this particular game is on my top 10 of worst EA games I have played. I truly hope that you guys figure out how to fix this game (or at least have a plan) and make it into what was originally advertised or at least make it into something worth the time spent playing it. Perhaps get in touch with Hello Games (No Man Sky) and ask them how they managed to save a great game from being abandoned. I wish you guys the best and I will be following the forums and watching the patch notes in hopes that things will turn around. Good Luck Sincerely, A hopeful Atlas player who wants to return

    You all need to chill the hell out I think my theory about why this game is dead is because of the playerbase is 100% right. Look at how you guys fighting over this shit and most of you don't know what you are talking about. Every argument I have heard about this game ranges from ageism, ignorant, to hyperbolic. Grrr... Look, I know you guys are frustrated, I am too. But, this is the nature of early access; and a lot of you aren't taking EA into account for... a lot of this. Releasing to console, getting ready for console, all of that is part of EA especially with WildCard. Another thing you guys have to keep in mind this that this team is working on multiple projects. The team is small, mostly made up of people who were modders, or not formally trained. Nothing like Atlas has ever been attempted before. You all really need to cut the devs, and yourselves some fucking slack. Like for example. Do you really think that the skins are forever going to be purchasable at the Freeport? Or do you think, eventually they will be gated.... and like Tek are actually upgrades? A lot of things in this game are temporary. I don't understand half of your complaints, or why they even would be complaints to begin with. Like the shit about "feudal lords" and other nonsense. I mean, I really don't see why paying a "tax" that you don't really pay (it just gets added to what you farm) to live on the island they have to farm gold to maintain. Really? What affect does this have on you or your game? Why is it a problem? Why are tames a problem? They were advertised with the game. Fuck THEY WERE ADVERTISED WITH WoW (oh... and its a BEAR). They are part of the MMO genre. Get over your grievances. Also what the hell do you think pirates did on their own property when not at sea? They farmed. They maintained their ship. God. Dammit. Ya'll. Just show some love for the game and your fellow players. Look at the passion Rust players have, even when the game was at its worst... there was an out-pour of LOVE for the game to get it to improve. Seriously, didn't Mr. Rogers teach you assholes anything?

    My boss has a pet macaw. When the heat index here in North Cackalacky hit triple digits the other day, I found myself wondering if he carries it on his shoulder to keep cool. Also this is my new favorite thread.

    Personally I think it matters a great deal because prior teminology alpha and beta, were more precise and gave players a more accurate idea of whether the game was very early in it's development cycle, or further along. I dislike the one size fits all term Early Access in part because it has been applied to games of wildly varying levels of completeness when first offered to players. This is important because unlike old style game testing Early Access games ask players to pay for the privilege, so at the same time that knowing how far along development a game is in order to determine if it suits your personal tolerance for an unfinished state becomes more important because you're being asked to pay, a single broad losely defined new term has been substituted for two older more established, generally understood terms. tl:dr version: At the same time the industry starts asking you to pay for something that used to be free, they are calling it something new, which is harder to define, and therefore gives them more wiggle room for it to be crap.

    Screw you and your crossplay talk. Oh and how thoughtful of you to suggest a wipe on a game you dont even play on. Nobody on PC cares if you spend your hard earned fifteen dollars on a console game, they have no interest in playing with a console. You dont even get the same maps, graphics or half the other items a PC does. ARK was the same. You get the console version special just for you.

    Right now there is a lot of concern over Atlas and what it is and where it's going. Is there an updated vision for Atlas? Is it possible to get a road map from the developers? e.g https://fix.pubg.com/ What is good in PvP life? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women. Done that and now we have nothing to do. We raise their fleets and destroy their base and then they quit? How is that going to make a sustainable player base? What are your plans for incentives and accountability? Many, many, many people have asked for combining PvE and PvP and given great suggestions, myself included. Are you even considering doing this? Why separate the player base? Why is decay of structures forced into the game? Can you not allow the player base to clean up things? This has created all kinds of nuisances including but not limited to people not reliably being able to take a break and helpful structures such as ramps to treasure maps auto destroying. If someone quits, let us be pirates and pillage their items. We should be able to destroy structures and get resources. We should be able to take over ships that are abandoned and either sink em or salvage them. Auto decay is awful.

    I think he means that an early access game is early access as soon as it comes out and it is also early access the day before it gets released. So trying to asign a label like alpha / beta is meaningless as it can be any of those at some stage. However it is perfectly reasonable to set aside the 'early access' label and describe it as alpha / beta at various stages of a games progress.

    That should be disabled if on official. It is a Option to remove everything on the Island And your stuff too. Originally was supposed the clean an Island After Claiming for 24 hours. After That Timer ran out you cant raze anymore

    Factions, Law and Order, Government, Notoriety, Karma are all things I would talk about and things the game needs but if they can't fix those basic 4 items then there is no hope for this list....

    Haven't seen the friendly blue whale, and not sure how u get the sub unlocked without a kraken fight. Also, we have not found a snowman cave yet either. Ghost ship has not been seen yet either, and obviously all the discovery ones are not there.

    Hmmm I find it hard to understand how people in a forum don't understand that most people play a game, and rarely go to or read its forum unless they have an issue or dislike the game and want to complain about it. As for the OP the system is very Obtuse and poorly designed the developers wanted to make this a large scale cooperative pvp game but did not understand that they would end up creating a paradise for griefers and you can't just create a no rules anything goes PvP style game, it doesn't work in this setting you need rules and structure to keep it from falling into the cesspit of depravity that griefers will pull a game like this into!

    i dont think the problem is them being hard to get or needing to many, but rather getting too much devs attenton when the rest of the game is literally boring as fuck

    There are 76 new islands on the PTR which can be found on the following grids (many existing duplicates have been removed): F3, G2, F14, H2, G14, H14, O2, I8, J8, M14 ,N1, O1, C2, M8, O8, G8, K8, E8, C8, F4, F2, G3, O3, N3, L2, N2, M3, O14, D15, N15, K15, J15, G15, O15, F15, I15, N13, N8 I recommend players wanting to keep day to day track of the PTR as it continues join the Official Discord and opt into the PTR role.

    Oddly enough, I always thought is was a fun “quest” to find loot demolishing stuff in PVE. When they took that away I lost one of the reasons to play. And it is certainly not the same waiting out a timer. Abandoned structures gave the game a unique feel that you could explore ruins that were actually real ruins. If I had one wish, I would like auto destruct turned off. *please

    After crossing to another grid, the game crashed. When I logged in the game, my Galleon (with tames) was suddenly removed from the company. I will not touch this game again until this is fixed.

    you do realise there are 2 game modes , u want to destroy settlers time and work , u want to tax them for protection , u want to rule over them and decide who can and cant settle or build then go play play pvp , or are u too scared and just want to act like you are a big bad island ruler all safe on your non risk pve island . if u do play pvp then wtf are u even concerned about pve for ?

    Yeah, god forbid someone who joined the game a little late actually wants to have a spot of land for themselves. News flash: not everyone wants to be a slave to the island owner who takes a share of their hard work and... oh yeah, can destroy all your stuff anytime they want. I pay a mortgage in real life, i'm sure as hell not going to pay one to you in a game.

    There are two ways to use it, for items in your inventory, all you need to do is drag the soap consumable over them and it'll wash the dye off. For structures that have been placed, just have soap in your inventory, hold E on the structure for additional options and then select the 'Use Soap to Remove Paint' button.

    I get it, you did single player for the snowflakes so they can enter admin commands and feel like they can actually play. But now you have to realize your debt to society has been payed , and you need to stop listening to all the calls for pink bows and ribbons and the fact that these people are trying to take over. Remember the fact that is a pirate based game and things are supposed to be difficult, hard to earn, and maybe even have a sense of gratification in the end. If this confuses you or you are unsure of what direction to turn just Google pirate. I am not after realism, as much as I am just having something fun to do, and what the heck if I go out and get a bunch of doubloons I should be able to spend them how I see fit. You used to be able to tax someone off an island but no, you got stomped down because you were "oppressing the masses". Now they are crying to turn the whole damn place into a homeless encampment. Here is the clue, and if you think really hard you know how it works, people will pay more taxes if they want to stay on an island that I pay gold for. Just a simple example. You made wildlife suck, there is literally nothing to be afraid of, why? Because more snowflakes crying because they died. OMG I died in a survival game WTF!!! Stupid posts about locked content, I could elaborate but these are the same freeloaders I already spoke of. How much gold for that pink ribbon on your bear? I will honestly say you guys have done a great job on a lot of things. You took a huge list of things people did not like on ARK and changed them. Great, but if they made everything on ARK as freaking boring and en eventful on PVE it would have tanked a long time ago. M.A.G.A Make Atlas Great Again

    Seriously man i dont understand where your problem is, Jat already said several times, that they work on all that especially more content, ship types etc... I m a passionate PVE player myself and agree on some of your points but in general theres nothing to complain about as we know they have limited resources and they just can do things step by step and it will take time to get all we want. In the last time theire forum activity has increased and i m pretty sure they listen and reading our posts and feedbacks. I guess its just a question of time till we get what we want/need.

    Well lets see if you are gone for almost a month straight why not? Like I said before the owner may be collecting a tax but you are not paying anything for it. You still get 100% the tax percent is just magically added to the bank. Big bad land ruler, that's too funny. It takes risk to keep the islands paid for, just cuz some goof ball builds his hut on my metal spawn, I should just put up a welcome sign? You want free go live on lawless.
