    Submarines have been a favorite toy of griefers since they were first introduced, and anyone who's ever played PvP know what I'm talking about. Subs can't be hit with cannonballs when submerged, and NPC mounted cannons apparently consider submarines to be "ships". We all see the problem here, right? As everyone knows, griefers use this mechanic to drain cannonballs from defensive towers and even cause them to sink the tower owner's own ships by sitting submerged with the ships between it and the defensive cannons - this is typically done during an island's peace period, which makes it all the more broken. A couple of suggestions: 1. Change submarines from "ships" to something else, or add a tag to differentiate them from surface ships, and then change ship target options to "Ships" and "Ships and Submarines". 2. Add an AE damage effect to medium and large cannonballs that will also effect anything underwater. Yes, I know all about "disable your cannons during peace" and "don't park your boats under your own cannons", but these are workarounds to make the best of a broken mechanic. It's about time that we had an actual fix.

    Companies.....yeah....let me throw this out there..... There are obviously good companies and bad companies.... Good companies want you to invest in their product, whether it be a game (this case) or something else, but they ALSO read/acknowledge/respond to customer (us in this case) feedback. They appreciate what you say, whether it's criticism or a heart felt compliment. They act on what you say, taking your feedback seriously to improve their product. Bad companies just want your cash. That's it. Just your cash. They change their product according to what THEY want, with little to no regards to what their customers actually want or suggest. Feedback of all kinds, good or bad, gets ignored 99% of the time. When they just so happen to get something right, which would be rare, they act with "See? We listen to our customers" .... So.... Which category does this company fall in? You decide....

    This poll really applies to PVP but everyone should get a say.

    Steam is already reporting some pretty low numbers. Although steam can't track people who have atlas outside of steam, but it's a good estimate for the playerbase. On top of H hotkey still being broken from the "big map update", and warehouses still only work for some people, on some island. They really broke the game this time with the latest update, can't craft bows/ arrows and game crashes in skill tree menu, bravo guys you've really outdone yourself this time . Just like back in season 1 when they made animals insta heal and almost 3 weeks for the hotfix numbers on steam went from 60k+ to just over 30k because you literally needed 4 people to take down a pig. I believe this is finally RIP Atlas boys, these devs don't give a flying fuck.

    As for listening to feedback I read in one of the forums here where they are seriously considering removing the Q & A and no, I am not seeing things nor am I joking. Like one guy said, maybe devs need to start being held responsible for what they sell instead of the " quick cash grab " that seems to a trend but what it is truly is a rip off. I love this game I do not love the devs actions and non actions. I wish a more responsible company would mimic this game only do it the way it is supposed to be done you know, the right way. Maybe one day, sigh.

    It was supposed to be an MMO, they anticipated 40k players playing on it but even on day 1 everyone knew that was unachievable with the way the servers were back then. I forgave them for bugs because it was early days, the first week everywhere you looked players were running around but there is nowhere to hide for them 2 years later. It should not be classed as MMO today though, they should drop that tag and just concentrate on improving what they have but we know they won't. It won't turn out to what I thought it would be in my head with lots of exciting things to do and economy etc, just not going to happen at any time. They only hope is some company out there is working on a game like it for the future but that is anyones guess.

    Wherever you look, whatever you touch, this team came out through the ass! It's time for you to run from Atlas! Enough of idiotic solutions and experiments! You don't even know how to correct elementary mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gotta Make the End game more attainable for Smaller companies. Megas get to 120 with in days, or hours, while the smaller guys can't. Maps are hard to come by since most of hte islands are pillared off. Hard Kraken and Yeti you need large groups to complete.

    The solution to such problems is: More Official Servers. The solution to paying for such additional servers is: stop breaking the game with updates and, develop a proper cosmetic in-game merch revenue stream. Or . . . play on an unofficial server . . .

    It's very disappointing. As a new player (with just under 100 hours) I was absolutely in love with this game until the latest patch. There is A LOT that is broken from the latest patch including my buddy losing 18 gun port planks for our Galleon because he dropped them to me and they "phased" out of the map. We can't build a Galleon to continue on our journey because he can't place when building and he says he is running around but to me he stands in one spot and doesn't move and he can't access inventories or anything (this all happened after he levelled up in game). I'm hoping these issues are rectified with some sense of urgency as I'd love to continue playing but it looks like I'll be playing solo because my friend has uninstalled the game. I won't be playing until everything has been fixed but based upon what I've read in the forums it could be awhile as the developers seem to be lackadaisical in their approach to updating things that are broken.

    Hello everyone, I need to suggest this little change, because it annoying me a lot now. Please make the turrets reload when you put a crew on them. It takes so damn long to have to manually reload the turrets when placing them! You should also consider changing the standard setting of all turret rang to high range when placed. Who in their right mind would put all their turrets to medium range as a standard. I can understand that in a few situations you would like them to be set to medium or low but not as a standard. I have about 3 k hours in this game and i feel that his small change would be a big improvement when you have to build defenses. Best regard Jack Shepard

    Atlas isn't even currently in the top 200 of top games played. The fucking cartoon pirate game, Sea of Thieves, is even in the top 100 games (#59). That's pretty terrible. Hell, Even Raft has more players and is sitting at #149 and it only has like 20 total hours of playable content right now but at least it has competent Developers and non-game breaking bugs. 242. ATLAS 1,597 4,539 1,874,509 Source: https://steamcharts.com/top/p.10

    Stopped playing about a month ago and just coming to the forums to see if they are actually trying to fix the game. Apparently not. So sad to see this game fail so hard. It has a ton of potential if it just had a Development team that would listen and focus on fixing problems rather than trying to balance PvP and add fluff to entice a few more people to purchase the game.

    Exactly, everyone should literally just stop playing this game and teach these fuckbags a lesson.

    I tried supporting grapeshot, they dropped the ball and since the literal fucking release of this game ( i played since day 1 pal) It has been the exact same as it is now, shotty updates with no real progress, this game was dead in the water day 1 and developers need to be held accountable for cash grabs and unfulfilled promises.

    The problem is that server capacity is a finite resource. Meaning that there is a certain number of tames, above which the server will stop working. That means, having no tame limit is not going to work. Since no carebear could ever wrap their mind around having even one stupid ass tame fewer than whatever astronomical number they had in mind, it is impossible to find a tame limit that is not going to be met. The only thing that could possibly counteract this problem is to have a tame decay system in place. If you haven't used one of your tames for ages, you should get a warning message directing you to move said tame out of the grid and if you don't, it is going to be removed from the game. If anyone still wants to keep his thirty million fucking bears, they can pay for the increased requirements in server hardware. If you pay for having your million bear server, you may have it. If you don't pay, you are using up other peoples (server hardware-)resources. LOSE SOME FUCKING TAMES ALREADY you greedy, filthy, selfish, boundless carebears ! And it is the exact same problem with all your barbie dream houses and 30 million piece disney castles and harbors. Be a part of the solution instead of being part of the fucking problem!

    released patch notes v24.4 - Reverted optimization to how Seating Structures are replicated, caused some issues. v24.3 - Fixed invisible tamed creature case, and optimized some networking related to creatures on ships. - Optimized how ladders network their extended/retracted states. - Attempted an optimization to how Seating Structures are replicated (Steering Wheels etc) v24 - Further fix for case where steering wheel usage became desynchronized. v23 - Major client and server optimization for ships - Fixed remaining case of Client Disconnections (Not necessary to adjust Client Bandwidth, this was related to something else. We recommend all players try to use EPIC Bandwidth!) - Various new server performance optimizations - Sail Canvas is now unaffected by Repair Hammer - AoD soldiers now take significantly less damage from bullets. v22.21 Fixed a bug where tamed creatures, boats, and NPC Crew stats didn't replicate properly. v22.1 - Fixed a case where players would disconnect on certain servers when loading into large bases. We advise setting your "Client Network Bandwidth" Option value back to Epic if you had previously changed it, to deal with the disconnections. - Fixed a case which would cause creatures to flash or flicker. - Fixed a case where players on saddled creatures would teleport back to the server's origin if the creature they were mounted on had been killed by another creature. - Sail canvas now takes twice as long to repair. Repair hammer can no longer be used to repair a canvas. A canvas must be repaired using the pinwheel option on the mast, which can be accessed by holding down E. - Target Soft Spots will no longer add torpor to other player teams in PvE. - Camera no longer interpolates to origin when destroyed. - Glider will no longer activate when encumbered. - Buoy signs remain attached after server restart (retroactive). - Server and client performance optimizations. - Fixed an exploit which allowed players to stall and potentially disconnect other clients. - No longer able to turn off cannons that do not belong to your team. v21.43 - Fixed some server side crashes and added additional server performance optimizations for NPC Crew v21.1 (client) - Fixed choppy claim flag physics 21.42 - Further optimizations to NPC crew 21.41 - Optimized replication and ticking of NPC crew on turrets, for significantly improved server performance. v21.31 - Improved Structure replication rate from servers, though this may increase client stalls slightly. Clients can reduce their "Client Network Bandwidth" Option value if they are experiencing too many stalls with this change (we do recommend the default, 60 KB/s). v21 - Optimized how items are networked resulting in significantly higher performance and less bandwidth usage - Added the Hook Hand and the Peg Leg to the Freeport cosmetic vendor v20.1 With our planned changes for March, the game will be heading into a more rule based system, so for the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes to experience what it would be like if we took an alternative route. We’ll be releasing an update tomorrow which includes the following changes: - 6x Rates - Harvesting, Taming, Experience, Gold, Farming, and Breeding. - Claim flags will no longer prevent enemy building. You can now build anywhere, and only structure build radius will prevent it. This does not apply to cannons and mortars, which will still require a claim flag. This is a non-default, which will be enabled on our PvP Networks. Unofficials can also use this as a custom server-side config. - All servers, other than Golden Age Ruin servers, can be set to home servers, allowing players to respawn at them. (PvP only) Game.ini: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] bDontRequireClaimFlagsForBuilding=1 bIsLawlessHomeServer=1 bForceRequireClaimFlagsForBuildingCannons=true This is what we’re enabling on all our non-Golden Age ruin servers, but please note that you must also flag the corresponding grids as homeservers on the servergrid.json This patch will also include: - Whispering voice hotkey [* [numpad] key] - Server side config that allows you to alter the distance for the 3 voice modes: Whispering, Normal, and Yelling. Game.ini: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] ProximityRadius = 8500 YellingRadius = 22000 WhisperRadius = 2000 - Removing the Destruction Mesh on Lighthouses - Increased the limit of folders in inventories from 20 to 40, and 80 in Bookshelves - Treasure Map names now includes the grid for easy filtering - Explosive Barrels can no longer be used as an ammo type for cannons. Any loaded ones will just fire regular cannons. They'll be receiving a large redesign in the major update coming in March. - Fixed chat scrolling, so it now works again with Page Up and Page Down - Fixed an edge case where voice chat would stop working unless the client relogged These changes will allow us to see how the game would pan out if we didn’t have the claim system affect build rules, which helps us collect more feedback on playstyles. v19.62 - New style Claim Flag with improved flag physics - Improved mini map X icon for visibility - Added chat tabs - Reorganized claim flag notifications (requires updated server) v19.52 - Fixed multiple cases where inpulses would be stacked causing players or creatures to be launched into the distance. v19.51 - Disabled the use of some client side console commands which could be used to gain an unfair advantage in PvP v19.5 - Army of the Damned Soldiers and Crew melee attacks now properly hit. - Fixed an issue with servers that could have stalled them out for significant periods of time (5+ seconds) - Improved general server performance v19.4 - Further optimized server performance - Fixed issue where Buffs were not being added (drinks and such) if you were on a seating structure, or if you were encumbered. v19.3 - Significantly improved server performance when unstasising structures (50%+). - Fixed the bug where picking up stat'ed Structures would eliminate quantity of existing structures in your inventory. - Fixed a case where server-side Spoiling Times were incorrect on preserving bins. - Whale corpses now last 30 minutes - Giraffe harvesting now yields 6x thatch v19.21 - Doubled maximum server physx substeps to maintain more consistent ship movement at low server framerates. v19.2 - 2x Harvesting, XP, Taming and Gold enabled on the Official Network until Monday 25th. - Bookshelf added to organize your maps, blueprints, notes, and songs.

Stack size will remain at 10 You will not be able to store them in creature inventories, however, legacy ones will remain there. They will be able to be placed near enemy structures and water without needing a claim flag, but not on boats itself. You will not be able to equip them into your hotbar, they must be placed from within the inventory. There will be a restriction to how many can be put down at a time within a certain radius.
