this is it? jesus takes you a whole year to do this much?

this is a joke not only do you not manage to improve the gameplay but you also make the npc cheaper for spamw more in the island than bigger disappointment and I am not the only crazy person who thinks that it is not enough

All the snowflakes saying, "Is this it?" You all make my day . If you don't like it you can go play another game bb

Yep. They literally the bed. I knew it. All they did was make a new map that isn’t really that different. Megas will always be Megas(losers), but I am starting to think they just used this map as an excuse to give the Megas something to do aka destroy all the new companies. I won’t even bother with the game this time around or as they call it “season”. Pretty sad when they say season but what they really mean is we wiped you again. Season 4 everyone Yeah just sold me on not coming back lol thank you for going through that so I don’t have to. You have my gratitude.

why are all console users so disconected with reality? the game has been scheduled for yesterday's wipe for over a week now, you should check the home section of the forum more often, so yeah you have to start all over, yes the map is smaller (one tenth is a huge exageration, they went from 15x15 to 11x11), yes there is more people now (as every next day after a wipe), yes most land will be taken and the sold to players by mega companies, welcome to ATLAS

Don’t get my wrong, I did noticed they put a cute little ring of island in the center but the powerstones are still spread out. they went from a 15x15 grid to an 11x11 grid. You guys realize they just cut the crust of a piece of bread right? no wonder there is less discovery points, you cut out 104 servers so of course there is less discovery points. I gotta hand it to you guys, you can really word things well. Bad people but good talkers. I see a career in politics for you guys.

Like I say, there is only so many times you can rearrange furniture, before you realize you need a new house.

Is that it? All this hype for 12 lines of changes? Trailer video that was used at the launch of the game with literally 2 new scenes saying NEW MAP and SEASON 4?

@w4stedspace I'm afraid so too. We unofficial will have to wait again. Wildcard has not learned to communicate properly with Ark so far and Grapeshot makes exactly the same mistakes.

Why would you remove islands from the build when you clearly know it will force unofficial servers to wipe, what is there to be gained by removing them? Honestly this just seems like an attempt to force existing unofficial servers to wipe, and force the players (that have been responsible for a good number of the sales the game has generated) back to official maps because they'll have no choice while the unofficial admins rush to fix issues caused by this. An obvious insult to the unofficial community, and I suspect just so Grapeshot can shout about how awesome numbers were on the launch of the new map. I imagine alongside this we'll see a delay to the servergrid editor being updated so that unofficials have no choice but to wait, or produce custom mods using the old build to add islands back in. That'd be the icing on the cake.

I decided to jump on and give it ago on PvE, got to a big island on lawless and the spam already is unbelievable. Could not even put a shipyard down, sailed around and all blocked. I just don't know if I have the motivation anymore to sail island to island. Soon as I entered the grid chat comes up with "why are you blocking my path?" "it's not your path, we build where we want" "why do you have to spam like this?" it was all just deja vu for me. I think with them forcing NA onto a smaller map with EU is just going to get worse, I hope I'm wrong but from what I seen I'm not hopeful. They did say it would bring more conflict and battles, not wrong there.

FINALLY! Well done @Chismebeard @Namiand @Gortok

agreed, taming for me was simply not my idea of fun, i find it not only overcomplicated but overall and insane time sink (all of that gone when glitches/bugs happen), still i did it because in some not very bright person's mind a bear should from the very start gather way more mats than a mythic quality tool so i didnt have a choice, i dont dislike having pets as a feature (tho it needs polishing) but taming them miself could prove to be very annoying.

I can be called a lot of things, but "new" ain't one of them. Besides, I enjoy stating the obvious, and occasionally poking the bear.

Hello Pathfinders! Welcome to Season 4: The Maelstrom! We’re excited to launch The Maelstrom, which was designed to intensify the pirating and seafaring experience! We looked at player habits and reshuffled islands and resources to align the map to encourage more interaction though both conflict and cooperative gameplay. We’ve also made a number of balancing changes to improve the initial gameplay experience and make other strategies for gold more viable. This is just the first step in the grander scheme of new changes coming to Atlas. There are many under-the-hood (or should we say, under-the-deck) improvements and new features coming down the pipeline. This new patch is just setting up the foundation for it! You can’t build a ship without a proper frame in place after all. We’d also like to thank the community for all of your support and patience! We are excited to continue on the renewed Atlas journey with all of you! Below you’ll find detailed Patch Notes for our latest update, v406.7. Released Patch Notes New Map created Centralized Golden Age islands for a clearer path to completing the compass. Centralized high-density servers to reduce the distance/sail time between conflict areas. Updated mineral foliage on islands so its no longer tied to plant biomes. Removed most unique discoveries to reduce the grind of getting to the max level cap. Economy Balance Updates Army of Dead on Golden Age Islands gold drops reduced by 62% Island Claim upkeep costs reduced by about 75% NPC Crew upkeep costs reduced by 84% on land NPC Crew upkeep on sea reduced by about half. Other changes Army of Dead Treasure Guards has been made significantly easier for low-quality treasure maps. Updated early game XP curve so you don't immediately level. Moved skill point gains to be more generous in lower levels and level off in later levels. Army of Dead on Golden Age Islands XP rewards reduced by 60% Custom Servers Season 4: The Maelstrom introduces a new map update in which islands have been reshuffled, added, or removed.

I was hoping for major continents in the four cardinal directions. *sigh* Guess I’ll just have to make this game myself when I get my studio going.

I just logged out and there were 80 online in 1 zone.. The atmosphere in there was a bit... questionable.. people being idiots for the sake of it, killing tames while others were taming them for lols and giving each other grief even for asking questions. Guessing the kids came out of hiding. But mixing 2 regions into a smaller map is going to have people living on top of each other. And that's going to put people's backs up over resources and space etc. People were spamming foundations all over beach fronts which I get if you want to expand to that point and reserve your land until you build on it but sometimes spamming way beyond what you'd need and where it clearly isn't necessary. Bugs have turned up which didn't exist before like farming fibre for instance. Resources seem strangely spread out. Like in some temporate zones there are strawberry's EVERYWHERE but not much of anything else. Seems this game just took a really big step backwards.

"Ark resources are in the game on lawless instead of ATLAS resources"

Was sailing to Island 24 in A10. Then I tried to build anything fiber related. Eventhough I had fiber in my inventory, it didnt count as fiber towards the crafting requirement. It also doesn't have the little white fiber icon in the top right of the item. Same goes for the new berries. I cant start building my stuff because I lack fiber, please help.

And still no answer on the PvE server, many people have asked the question and it goes ignored, are they keeping PvE up longterm? I would say surely they can't be so stupid as to make people build on it and remove the server in weeks or months time but we all know the answer to that.

Ok i just played for 15 mins. Ark resources are in the game on lawless instead of ATLAS resources- we can't build anything. RIP -- this is why you need to do public test realms devs. its like common thing to listen to your players and work with them on upgrades, not keep them in the dark and mess up a re-launch.

This is a MASSIVE change. I have a little experience with programming and am good friends with people that work for codemasters so know a little more than most. Stop your bitching. I for one am looking forward to playing this once my console has downloaded the update and I have got some more sleep seeing as I'm in the UK and have had to get up at 4am to install!

That's the thing, we all are, thats why Atlas population took a nose dive and why you are even getting an update.

Good job ! I'm giving you guys benefit of the doubt. Let the haters hate! Thanks for doing a good job.

Nah they wouldn’t dare release something at 11pm pacific time. My guess is 8am pacific time tomorrow morning. So 12 hours from now.

Sounds great

NICE!

While Grapeshot are willing to just delete a server (bye bye NA PVE) without warning - I have more dedication to my playerbase than that. This isn't about making a new map - as I've said repeatedly, it's about why are they forcing us to wipe by removing game assets? Are your players hyped to have their stuff wiped outside of their control with barely any warning, and get to start again on a map that contains nothing we didn't have already? I know mine aren't...

This should be a surprise to no one. One day we had NA-PVE, then we didn’t. Zero warning. They hate us. I will be restarting for the 4th time tonight at midnight on official (maybe) Why? Because I love abuse. I asked yesterday if this was going to happen to private servers and I got a shoulder shrug. I’m sorry that I like this game more than the people that made it.

Sure if you want to wipe.... Shouldn't need to wipe unofficial is the point. Why remove assets? It makes no sense. If the islands weren't removed then unofficials wouldn't need to wipe. I don't understand why there is any pushback against this, leaving them in would have no effect on official servers and that seem to be what W4sted is saying. He doesn't care about the new islands or map, he was wondering why they were removed forcing a wipe of unofficial.

well that gestation period is already half the legal working day's schedule, also to complete the process you would need to have a full free day + time management in the next day/s that is not always on working people's hands and that is without considering the many many people that had situations in wich the animals wouldnt eat from the trough or would randomly die from weather conditions causing them to lose all that time in the process, oh and believe me i have set alarms for other games when i was younger and my advice is: if you are forced to alter your sleeping schedule because the game asks you to, then you are better off playing something else, but well thats just how i feel about it.

they may have just removed islands from grids that had more then 3-4 and moved them to grids that only had 2-3, just a thought which would make sense of the "reshuffle" part of the post

The last thing I'm doing is defending this, or any other game. The Devs here, the old ones anyway, have proven their dishonesty and incompetence. I was just pointing out that anyone who accepts their word, for ANYTHING, is an idiot.

Yup, and they also fit well with the words I used such as indefinite and 'leaving the option open'. We will all have to wait and see, but as I said in my comment my point was simply that I wouldn't personally wait for something that could be many months or more away.

Wow, where to begin with this nonsense. it is almost like you cant grasp the fact that being part of a much larger overarching faction, facilitates trading, grouping, alliances, and helping each other, much easier than the absurd levels of distrust that people have because literally no one trusts each other even in alliances, I have seen multiple alliances break up because a mega made a deal with one of the alliance members, and then destroyed the alliance. Just farm for 5 different fibers on your island, right? You would never take a different one from someone, it is way too heavy to take back, just take the blueprints and make it with your 1 material on your island, that you control with your small group! GENIUS levels of intellect here. Just get the materials! DUH, no one is going to contest them! Here is how maps work, you go to an island, you try and sneak on, people assume you are raiding them, they kill you, or you announce you are coming on the island to do maps, they tell you no, and you try anyway, they start fighting you because they think you are scouting them. Or you delete the map and sail on to a different one. This is how they work. In a faction, you see some people on your island, you are like hey whats up, they are like "doing maps" you are like, cool, mind if I help to leech, or "have fun" as you walk off. If you are solo or in a small group, you can just do the "safe" maps and if you have one in enemy territory, you know there will be a fight and can prepare for that. Even as a 50 man group it was annoying to do maps with a small detachment, because any time we did we would ether have to sneak, or fight to do them.

We ready. I hope there wont be any delay.

If you put pve in pvp people find a way to cheat it will never work, so dont . ? sir you are a fruit cake, youre nuts.

..my hair is dry, as the ocean is gone. But my eyes are wet, thinking what will be. Soon, the smell of ocean, taste of sea, sounds of cannons.. arr, those who wait, will see!

Ahoy landlubbers, we will be back on the new PVE Map For the start we gonna be a little less active as we used to be in regards of selling and breeding. You can find us on our discord: https://discord.gg/EYC7epU we hope to sail with you again soon^^

I've been messing around with Elephants lately. Breeding in Equatorial so you get the weather swings. I don't use grills or fires anymore I came up with a system using Torches. I place a 3x3 set of wood guns mounts in a close bundle. If you place a wall hook on them they turn into a spike which you can place torches into. You then set the pin codes all the same and pin code them to a electric lever switch. Then go around the outside and place another 12 torches and pin code them to a different number. Code them to a second switch. When its day I turn everything off and the temperature is ideal. When it gets colder in the afternoons into the evening I turn on switch 1, the 3x3 set. When it hits night time and the temp plummets I turn on switch two. Reverse as we come out of night into day. This keeps my elephants happy 100% of the time. Also tested it and works with parrot eggs. I build over the top of the setup and the heat transfers through the floor so its clean and tidy. This is what it looks like under the floor.

I have quite a bit of experience on Breeding Tigers, that's all I do in fact. Gestation is 5 hours. Then 6 hours to get the Cub to 10% and able to use the feeding trough. First Imprint will be 2 hours after this, then 8 hours for each following imprint, 7 in total including the first. Grills seem to be best for providing heat and you will need 720 wood per Grill for the fill 0-10% phase. I usually put in 750. For the 0-10% phase, you will also need about 750 meat per cub. After this, like others have said, just keep the Feed though full. Depending on where you do your Breeding, you will need a number of Grills to keep the cubs warm for the 0-10% phase , and if in the Tropics, or certain other sectors, Friges because the will overheat if too warm. I have been breeding in O4 and only need 6 Grills, but when I was in O2, I needed upwards of 20.

Very good trading company. Bought a few tames and will be back for more.

Excellent service, if you want quality quick give this group a try. You won't be disappointed! 9+ purchases! Friendly group of players with room to spare on their beautiful island!

Go Fairys!
