Whats going on with treasure maps now? I went to a fine one with 6 quality 700 gold and got raped by level 98 Undead....are you kidding me or what? Yet i did another map 16 quality and attacked by level 25 undead which was more doable. Also shipwrecks 50/50 are un completeable. The ship is locked off from the chest or the tiny arsed hole you made for us to go through doesnt work and or the suit decides to just poof out of existance

I thought i was the only ex Shadowbane player... Now THAT was a beautiful game that went sideways..

Didnt we have/had (new) devs and or communitymanager(s)? Or are they allready silenced?

Not sure what small niche game they are trying to fill at this point with their PvP except maybe a griefers paradise? Game is going backwards in a hurry.

Hello, I've been playing Atlas from the start of it and LOVE this game! However, since the recent wipe of islands being removed and new ones added it's been difficult, if not impossible to find ironwood and darkwood. I've heard that ironwood is no longer a thing?? And Darkwood needs an elephant to harvest the bamboo for it? Thought I'd bypass that and jaunted over to the Freeport to purchase some from the commodities vendor, only he's not there. He's not standing in any of his normal areas on any of the freeports I went to on the server I'm on. Has he been removed? Also, when pressing "H" on resources it'll say "Sandstone, Chert, Iron" but when you harvest it it's actually "Marble, Chert, Iron". This has been happening on a bunch of different resources so when out and about the only sure way to know for sure what each island has is to actually harvest it. As this has been seen on other servers is there a 'bug fix' in the works for it? Back to our Missing persons report, where is the commodities vendor? Will he be back??

Maybe it's their way of further limiting who gets Mythic boats and equipment.....

OK

Devs please read my words. I have played games only since 2014 as a pve player. I think PVE gets lost in the definition of exactly what it is and, why I was drawn to it myself so please read what I have to say before you make any big moves again and to consider pve players more seriously. Veterans People with disabilities Older generation People with agoraphobia Introverts People wanting to escape the crap of the world today. There are more I am sure that I have not thought of. Veterans have fought their wars, they only want to go on a game in pve mode so they themselves can not only control their situations and not have to fight which would most likely trigger a lot of players. Many of the Vets I have seen posting in the blogs and on the game have left due to them thinking it was going to go to pve/pvp and global server. PVE offers them the choice to put themselves in a controlled situation. People with disabilities now have a way to get up, move about like they can't in real life, they can jump, run all of the things that they can no longer do in real life and if it isn't stressful enough in real life, making them play pvp ( if that is your intentions ) in order to play this awesome game would be, well it just wouldn't be right. Agoraphobia, there are more people out there with this disorder than one actually realizes, they have anxiety about their environment, if it is not a controlled environment then all h#ll breaks loose for them in real life. With the pve aspect of a game it gives them more control of their surroundings. Introverts, shy people that would not really have anything to do with other people due to the severity OF that shyness, in pve they can actively participate in conversations and of course, control their environment, this gives them some sort of platform to build better skills and confidence to actually talking and interacting with people. People wanting to escape the crap of the world today. I am one of them, if I don't get on a pve game I am in F# jail on a constant basis fighting politics, on games like Atlas it keeps me out of F# jail lol. I absolutely hate how our nation is acting and so Atlas gives me a MUCH needed reprieve from the real world one where I myself have control over my actions and not have to worry about the actions of others. There are a lot more out there like me in this aspect than what you think. Last and I feel weird offering this up but, Atlas brought me back from a stroke, I had a mild stroke, didn't know how to use the asdw I could barely decipher left from right and it took real hard thinking to get that straight, after six days of playing Atlas I finally was capable to sail one of my ships, scary as h#ll but, the game itself helped me to get back my functions I am convinced and of course, those gorgeous baby bears!! OMG I lOVE those bears!!! In short ( finally ) PVE is a lot more than what you guys realize, meet us, your pve players Now please, put us back on NA servers, global servers are not only horrible on the lag and rubberbanding they have a high account of mean, snobbish people ( and jerks scared to play pvp so they do it on pve ) whereas you just don't get many on the NA server, that plays an important part of the pve community and why people ARE pve players. Thanks, sorry for the long winded explanations.

Don't know why those folks are not responding. It's not like we haven't noticed these things. SMH...

There's ton of issues right now and ZERO acknowledgement from the Devs or Community Reps. Very disappointing right now.

I'm sure some of the people on this forum only post here cos they were banned from twitter ! It's easy to spot a die hard pvp player on Atlas forum, cos they are the ones doing the attacking. They just can't seem to help it.

This is me. I've been playing PvP games since the early 80's with text based PvP MUD's. After that it was Shadowbane, then DaOC, then dozens of other games that at least had some point to engaging other players other than to just kill them. I love the sailing. I love the building. I love the idea. But their is literally no point to PvP in this game. No objective. No ladder to climb. No quests to turn in. No rewards to obtain. A lot of risk for zero reward. You can literally lose hundreds of hours of work while you aren't even online. Hell, even my old text based games had an objective in PvP. There was a program that kept track of kills and every kill earned you a point. You were able to buy resurrection scrolls and items using your points. That was over 30 years ago and this game has NOTHING?!

I couldn't stay away, I had to at the least test and see how the global servers were working out and I so love those bears I just can't stay away from them and, sailing. I love/hate you Atlas arrg!! The global server sucks, simple, the lag is horrible and rubberbanding is out of this world people have been asking left and right if it is only them and of course as predicted LOADS of folks have said it is not just them that they are having the same issue as well. I predict it will only get worse. The amount of space on there is just simply not enough for a global server, it just isn't there are no other words to put it other than that. The fact you have total jackwipes that want to kill other people's tames is happening left and right, I don't get why they must do that but I figure it is because they are too chickenshite to play pvp so come on pve where we are all supposed to work together not against each other and create chaos and havoc, too many holes on the global site where there were NOT on the NA site I want my pve back on NA Devs!!! I will still not recommend this game to anyone due to the past moves y'all have made which were abso horrible to us pve players and you well know or, should and btw please, don't mention blood, sweat and tears like you use in the new upcoming farming build because you know nothing about that as far as gaming goes, you have lost the concept or never had it of what a true gamer is without Godmode or the like. I will always love this game and what it offers as far as the pve aspect of it goes but know this Atlas, there are others coming out with the same concept, make sure you don't get left in the waves due to the way you treat your followers arrrr!

I've done 139/552 Discovery Points and if you look at the Master Cartographer quests it shows your discovery point progress (Currently at 25.2% of all discovery zones) however I have not Completed the the Veteran Explorer which only requires 25%? Has anyone else had this issue? (Server: The Only Official PVE server)

17 - Crossing out of the storm makes wind and waves direction not synchronized. You know, during the storm wind rotation speed is increased. So if wind turned half circle, and then you cross, after transition to another server wind slowly goes back to where it is on current grid. But for 5-10 minutes waves flows in to direction where they were before you cross. So wind blows one way. Waves goes opposite. Ship can't handle the situation and goes floating up to the air, then goes down underwater. After 5-10 minutes, picture twitch and waves goes downwind. 18 - So many buffs. So many text! I'm glad I have so many buffs. I wish I could read what they are (Seriously guys, your UI has SO MANY ISSUES, you need to rework it totally!)

Alright. Just to let you know... 15 - Temperature debuff goes through the border. Sometimes when you cross, all temperature debuff (cold, freeze, hot, overheated) goes there too and stays with you and don't disappear. Like in the picture below. It's +16(C) or +60(F), I'm in full fur clothes and still cold. This way debuff don't affect your pathfinder. It just there and confuses you. If there is a freeze and overheat - pathfinder also do voice suffering. To make this one disapper, you need to feel another debuff (like in picture above - I need to go freezing, hot or overheat). It's old bug, actually. 16 - 100% ui scale and company name. Can not read company name through spyglass if there is UI scale is on max value.

11 - Sextant buff cover landowner message. I really love to read what message landowner left for me, but to read one - i need to wait until my sextant buff is gone.

Ah... yes. As I back to SqOTD's hunting, few more updates from me: 09 - To color crew clothes. I know most of players don't do that, but I always create an armor for all my crew, and even more. I PAINT IT in to the color of ship, they gonna be on duty. I do love when all looks good: But here is the problem. It's like I hired 10 cannon-guys, I created 10 pieces of each part of armor, and then... you just imagine. - I went shop. - I bought 90 navy dyes. 90 peel orange dyes, 70 golden dyes. - AND THEN I APPLIED ALL THOSE 250 DYES to clothes ONE BY ONE! And there is no hotkeys - I LMB part of clothes, LMB to dye I need, LMB "apply" button. Repeat 250 times! I see the solution with "design" button. Same as we paint flags. Before I create thing - I color it, and then put in tannery not just a hide and fibers, but also dyes. It will save a lot of time for players like me. 10 - Damned ships loot. With current situation - I feel sad about loot from damned ship. Because we have squads each battle require alot of maneuvering and sailing! And after it's done - I have to find somehow, in the clear empty ocean, between flotsam - my loot, which is look the same as regular flotsam: You never guess - what is my reward, and what is just regular treasure chests. Today I engaged 8 damned ship at once, and after I end them, it took me an eternity to gather what's left of them. And I didn't find one of my loot chests. The solution I see is to light the loot somehow. For example, the same light pillar as we have above our corpses. I really would LOVE to see that. I keep loosing loot, and it's a shame.

You forgot to mention that most of the Megas from Atlas are there. You also failed to mention that Atlas had server issues in the beginning that cost the game way more than 30% of the player base. What MMO hasn't had server issues in the beginning? Also, in your attempt to be sarcastic, you missed the point. I did finally join LO, and it was only my second day last night. We discussed Atlas. The sentiments of my friend were echoed by the other players in the group, and others in the Alliance on Discord. Atlas is a great concept, but poor execution. It is very unfriendly to noobs. The highest level in LO is 60, and in two days, I am already level 35. I am also not forced to create my character to fight, or craft. There, I don't feel like I am at the mercy of those who have 70 hours a week to put into the game. I do wish Atlas would create a Ship vs Ship official server. If they did, I would come back. I personally think the ship battles in Atlas are epic, and this is what the game should be about. Not about defending bases. The Devs said they wanted to take Atlas out of the Shadow of ARK. To do that, you have to make the game about being at sea, and fighting at sea...not putting most of your efforts into building and defending bases. The only thing base defense should be for, is harbor defense, so that if somebody is chased back to home port, they can defend the ship until it is green anchored, and thus invincible. I got tired of logging in to find that somebody had done a harbor run on us, and destroyed my ship while I was offline. Got tired of most of my efforts going to building and defending bases. My second day in Atlas, and already involved in a huge fight involving many Walkers, both large and small (ships). And even the smaller walkers such as a Spider, were useful...very useful. If I had my choice, Atlas would be changed to Ship vs Ship, and that would be my preference.

The only way I could kill pirates on turrets was to use a melee weapon. Those on high structures I had to use the Fly command...I could mount the ladder leading up to them but was only able to climb halfway up the ladder.
