they must be made an example for future projects/studios and what happens when you screw over your community without any substantial communication. This isnt just about atlas, this is about the future of gaming.

Its amazing how butthurt people can be. Even trying to report for "Fraud" while it isnt any fraud at all. Who cares that people would lose their job? Seriously, ive never seen such egoistic retards in my whole life. Acting like babies whose lollipop was stolen.

I would. From someone who works in the software biz (I test software), I know that if there are 20 people working on a project like Atlas, maybe 2 of them are making all the important design and scheduling decisions. The rest are just working on stuff assigned to them. The typical dev doesn't make any of the decisions that most people here are so upset about. It is irrational to take this out on them. I am also worried this ship is sinking, but I'm not going to boycott some other game just because one of the former Atlas devs now works there.

All companies shift their employees around to cover priorities. I'm sure there were some Ark employees working the Atlas XBox integration last year, which most likely caused delays for Genesis. They'll return back to Atlas after Genesis development slows down again. IF you're bored on official, there are plenty of unofficial servers running mods that improve the game in various ways. There are servers with different settings and mods that you should be able to find one that fits you. IF you try a very popular unofficial server and it feels too OP or P2W, try a smaller server, many of those are not OP or P2W, just lacking players willing to brave a lower pop server just starting out. Don't always trust a server that states they're not P2W either, do your research and look at how quickly players can buy mythical. The knee jerk reaction of trying to destroy a game with "Fraud" and negative posts because you don't enjoy it anymore, is just super salty. If you're not happy, just stop playing and move on to another game that you can enjoy. You should also ignore all EA games, since you clearly can't handle their development cycles. This is the time when players should be supporting unofficial servers and modders for adding to the game experience while the developers have gone dark.

for everyone who want more information i found this on twitter: A friend from eric seem's to defend him and give some interesting information: "Atlas killed itself. It is not Erik's fault his entire dev team was stripped away from him and sent to work on another game. It's all about HOW you ask. Dont approach them in a fit of rage. I spoke with one privately an hour or 2 ago, game is still being worked on, but they feel changes were made in the plans for the game, and they have been left in the dark with said changes just as we have been. Wildcard pulls the strings for Grapeshot. They were behind on ARK development, and pull all the programmers out of Grapeshot help to fix it. Leaving Erik with no team to work on his game." So for resume they are working on genesis since some month and should comeback later when they fix their new dlc on ARK

Pretty scary stuff. I think the lesson from that video is that that is what happens when a country's health care system becomes so overwhelmed, that it can't respond effectively. We all need to do our part and practice social distancing so we don't end up like the people in the video. Very sad what is happening in Italy. I think that country is one of the worst if not the worst affected by this. I personally am working at home. I'm washing my hands a lot. I hope everyone does their part and by working together we can get through this.

I have been fiddling around with the accordion free play. I couldn't help but learn some songs and make the long sea voyages with my friends more vibrant and nostalgic with He's A Pirate. I think the free play and sheet music of the accordion could be added onto with role playing content in allowing individuals to turn their sheet music blank and have a customization feature. This would simply be a guide for someone to play a specific set of keys, and would destroy the buff of the previous sheet music which it was written over. I think if the sheet music buff carried over this would be an issue in that it nullifies the mini game and allows individuals to simplify their songs should they choose to, hence why I purpose the blank sheet be void of buff as well. The customization of sheet music could be locked behind a skill tree or could be accessible to all and used as a RP feature since it gives no benefit to the player. The blank sheet could then be used in a free play fashion to make the sheet music key presses by taking note of the relevant key presses as they are played. It could even have 2 options, one to make the song and the second to set up the key presses for the sheet music mini game so as to make varying difficulties. Separating the mini-game keys from the actual song played would permit more advanced users to simplify their pieces for others to enjoy, for example the piece can contain octave changes but the mini-game could simplify to remove the octave changes for a steadier flow--there is currently a minor delay in free play on octave changes with the accordion. A key limit on each sheet should be in place as a safeguard in case issues might arise with the feature. TLDR, Custom sheet music. This would simply be a guide for someone to play a specific set of keys created by another player. It would destroy the buff of the previous sheet music which it was written over.
