When Season 4 began, we were hesitant to return but hopeful at the promises of new changes and active Devs. For the first few weeks we were really impressed! It felt like a completely different game compared to the horrors of Season 1. We reached out to old friends and were able to pull back many who had completely written off the game and everyone was having a lot of fun. We were encouraged by the Devs transparency and action with dealing with cheaters and exploiters, the balance improvements, the quality of life improvements with the farming grind... Atlas finally seemed to be becoming the game we had all initially hoped for. Then... you brought back barrels and literally killed the game overnight. The game transformed from a thriving sea based PvP game with engaging ship battles, into an endless assault of barrel bombs everywhere you look. No one wants to bring their ships out to sea anymore. What's the point if they can be deck cleared by a single barrage? With less and less action on the seas, the only way for anyone to get some PvP was to try and land raid, which after a few days becomes a discouraging pain in the ass. Pretty much everyone has now quit and you can see from your player stats that nearly every grid is empty. Sad to say you blew it with barrel bombs and I'm not sure many will be willing to give Atlas another chance considering you didn't listen to your community when they begged you to revert the changes. I still hope that Atlas can become something great, it has bones to be amazing but time and time again your community has spoken loudly that they are seeking more action on the seas and until barrels are removed or balanced better, that will not happen.

Barrels need to be completely removed from this current iteration of the game. This is going to be your biggest contention point for any type of PVP player. They are just too powerful. They do way too much damage. There is no real way to mitigate barrels right now in this game. Barrels should only be able to be used from Catapults. Or placed manually and lit. They should NOT be able to be fired from cannons. Full stop. Barrels should not be able to remove a row of planks from a ship. Either make them incredibly heavy, or make the materials excessive. They are too easy to make, too light and too disposable for the amount of damage they can do to not only ships but player structures. You say you want this to be a sea focused pvp game. Barrels have made it so you can no longer leave your harbor because you're too busy trying to defend the structures it took you weeks to build and get destroyed in under 5 minutes. This is ridiculous and you need to change this if you ever hope to get any player base back into the game. Limit the number of catapults on a ship by ship type. Remove the ability for cannons to fire barrels. 0 on sloop. 1 on schooner 2 on brig 4 on galleon. Reload time on catapults on animals should be 10+ seconds.

Real talk tho, 4k hours in. Barrels NEED to be removed in order for this game to last. The mention of needing it for future content, well bring it back with that future content if it can be used. They are as cheap as nades essentially, do damage equivalent to the old torpedoes, and can be stuffed into mobile cannons on tames and boats.....remove the fricken item until its fixed

BARRELS ARE GARBAGE. There is no other way to put it. Fucking take them out of the game. Whatever dev has this "grande vision" for this game is fucking blind.

yep, barrels killed the game. I have gone from a daily player to signing in once a week and going meh can't sail anywhere without someone one shotting your ship with barrels. no point in having mythic ships and planks if one barrage of barrels sinks it in moments.

Guys you were really close to fixing the warehouse and farmhouse, but then you made it worse making it so they need to be built near coal and oil (which isnt on every island) to remain functional without player interaction. If the goal is automation remove the fuel cost, but if you have to program in some sort of fuel just use fiber in the mean time.

almost 6k hours in game, i can honestly tell you the current ability to add cannon and ship leveled points to multiplicative values of barrel damage is WAY WAY WAY TO OVER POWERED. You need to remove them, or reduce range by 50%, Reduce damage by 50% AND (not or, this is all 3) remove the multiplicative damage on ships, from Cannon % and Ship levels multiplying the damage of barrels. This current iteration has reduced sea combat DRASTICALLY we cant get people to bring out endgame boats to fight us because 1 volly and those sails (those .001% to drop handling ENDGAME sails) are gone, 394% defense wont mean F all if i have a 200% cannon and 174% dmg in schooner lvl's, they would be gone. Is that balanced? hundred hours to find end game sails to my LUL schooner? that is unfair, and i do it to people. Its wrong, NO ONE WHO PLAYS asked for this, NO ONE who is playing wants it kept. THE PLAYER BASE IS BEGGING FOR THIS TO BE FIXED You don't address it. you ignore this GLARRING problem. FIX BARRELS!

Thank GOD. No more shuffling resources into my personal inventory just to craft the simplest, most common things.

I'm pretty sure devs want ship pvp, BUT people don't want to bring out ships bc a bp-ed ship can be raped by a common barrel ship. Even worse if the ship is also bped and damaged pumped. Barrels are like bugs. Devs like em. We don't. Get rid of bugs- I mean, barrels. There's other balance issues, but the barrels are the ones that screams out the most attention for balance. Quit buffing it. No one asked for barrels. You think it's a good idea. But it's not. Put the barrels back in the trash. The recycling bin is too good for em.

Please just remove barrels from catapults and cannons, thanks

Nice! I've always wanted to ride my tamed cow!

Yeah, we dont have more boat fights, we have barrels in every way fight... Game got screwd after that update... Should just remove barrels and thats it! Back to pirate game! I appreciate what you guys bein doing with the game... After season 3 it got revitalize. I was really excited.. But now with this barrels i already have people giving up on the game cause its not a pirates game anymore. Its just a barrel game... Miss the boat fight so much... =/

I am disheartened to login to this game anymore. I used to enjoy the hell out of it but with the barrels you have completely and utterly ruined any fun, engaging experiences anyone was having. RIP

exactly this GET RID OF BARRELS, WE DO NOT WANT THEM...........period whoever the dev was that decided to put barrels back into the game should be put in a gibbet what an idiot

Why aren't the patch notes posted in the section called PATCH NOTES? Why have a special section, on the top bar of the forum, called patch notes, and then put them somewhere else? Oh, and remove barrels before you lose all your players

the only time barrels were fun on the sea is if you can place them on dingys. putting them in cannons is too OP

So day two and I'm locked out of game. I click rejoin game and get stuck at the loading screen _BP. What I think Caused it, Me and my friend loaded game same time, He got in before me, He was in the middle of moving my Character as i was loading in i guess, So my game didnt load in. Then 2nd try and he crashed lol while moving me and i was coming into game. Then he couldnt load in and i couldnt load in. Then he tried to join game using the other link Join online servers, and he got in BUT he cant click on anything ingame.. so hes stuck in the boat house and cant open doors or windows nothing, So we cant play. I tried loading game the way he did. And behold I also got in and cant click on anything, cant open doors nothing so i too am stuck on our ship. I try opening my inventory and it quickly Closes, I dont know what server im on i logged out as he was sailing to a server. So i used my number pad number 8 to open the atlas map and BAM! my game crashes. and not a day later still cant get into the game.. I went to steam and did the file check thing, I rebooted my comp and had to do a steam update then ia atlas dowload started after i tried to join again.. still nothing.. I am now in forms and see some others with the same issue. going back 2019 Same thing that happened to us.. This going to be fixed or am i unistalling this game. I left this game about a year ago.. after getting chopped up and feed to the sharks by you guys. Just started playing it again you guys said New patch and fixed so much and are working so hard to fix this game i get it.. but i still a year later and this is still happening.. how many others left game to never return that this issue happened too and didnt take the time to come in here to tell you what i am now.. PLEASE FIX! or i'll just be another lost player of atlas lost in time to some other game. FOUND A WORK AROUND: OK found a fix... STAY OUT OF F3!!! lol had to kill my guy spawn back on another server log out back in then kill my self again then spawn at a Free port build a ship fast then take it to my ship on the F3 server then get it the hell out of their! lol ya left the new ship to sink more Skeletons for the dev's to remove.. working fine now

Had this happen to me in F3. One thing to take note of is when you are at the splash screen (start screen), check the area just above "rejoin atlas". If you don't see "ATLAS: [PVE] The Whales's Solitude" just above "Region" (whatever region type you logged out; lawless for example), you're going to have problems. I found it takes killing yourself 2-3 times to get re-synced to stop the battleye kick, and then make sure to log out in a different zone. I've also found just fast travelling to another zone and spending time there doesn't cause the kick, but as soon as I log out in F3, I have problems.

Yep sorry thats the server i ment.. OK We found a Work around... STAY OUT OF F3!!! lol had to kill my guy spawn back on another server log out back in then kill my self again then spawn at a Free port build a ship fast then take it to my ship on the F3 server then get it the hell out of their! lol ya left the new ship to sink more Skeletons for the dev's to remove.

OK found a fix... STAY OUT OF F4!!! lol had to kill my guy spawn back on another server log out back in then kill my self again then spawn at a Free port build a ship fast then take it to my ship on the F4 server then get it the hell out of their! lol ya left the new ship to sink more Skeletons for the dev's to remove..

WTF! 2nd time now Battleye is kicking me and i'm so active!!! FIX THIS BATTLEYE PLEASE or I wont be able to play this game anymore! I'm on F4 server PVE

Are you soft in the head? I'm not sure your aware this game is an EA and still in development. You bitch like an autistic child on this forum and you think this is a finished product that's been out for a while. You should probably stick to something more your level, like Elmo's how to count.

Return all PVE servers and all previous content back! Can't you see how much dissatisfaction about this?! Your experiments will definitely not lead to good! Many are already leaving! And many are ready to leave! From your short-sighted, sometimes even stupid ideas and idleness, the game is slowly and really dying !!!

For PVP, farms & warehouses make sense, as does buying ships for gold, as they want people out fighting at sea and not on land having to gather resources to make their ships. Heck, even semi-regular wipes makes some kind of sense in that context. However, in PVE, these make no sense. Given the lack of things to do in PVE apart from the boss fights, most people enjoyed exploring, building, taming and trading. The farms & warehouse make the gathering or resources trivial, and totally wipes out resource trading. If there are semi-regular wipes, those that like to build or tame/breed won't want to do it as there is little point investing all that time.

If they go to the rust model, they lose one of the best features of Ark and Atlas. Asset buy in... When you spend time building, taming, breeding, and farming bps you become attached to what you have... You want to keep it and defend it. In rust nothing matters you can get to 'endgame' in days. You can get 'endgame items' in days. Some servers wipe weekly because its doable. There's no real drive to own anything in the game because it can all be remade in hours/days. In Ark/atlas bases take weeks to build, breed lines take weeks/months to perfect. Leveling ships/tames, takes time and energy. Farming exo and regular resources takes time. All of this leads to an attachment for what you have, a desire to maintain it and defend it. Regular wipes leads to the mentality of 'ah shit we didn't get a good start this wipe, let's just take a break and start next wipe.' Some people love the idea obviously but other like myself consider it a deal breaker and I would not continue playing if they went to a regular wipe model.

Unfortunately, we can't read anything here what you want to do about the really badly running servers. Now a new building is coming again, which is reducing the performance of the servers. The playability in the LawLess areas is equal to 0. I think you should get the game up and running again first, otherwise your new ideas will be in vain because no one will spend money on a game that is laggy and the players will be punished with high ping. Altas went really well up to the last wipe, the map was nicely done and realistic. Why do I find arctic raspberries in the desert now ??? The search for the numerous discoveries was really fun. Now the number of Discovery has been castrated so that the stimulus is gone, just so that the impatient can reach the final level. These people should better play GameBoy. I hope for all of us that you get it back on track, otherwise I think Atlas will be dead before it is officially released

Hello! Back to the real issue: The Farmhouse and the upcoming Warehouse are the best new developments in a long time! Questions about the Warehouse: How many warehouses do you need? One Warehouse for every Farmhouse? Or is one Warehouse enough for all your farmhouses? Thanks and best regards!
