Those last few points being made are pretty accurate.. Its not fun going on offical pvp servers and getting wiped constantly, or getting wiped once.. after putting in mad hours to make tech/metal massive bases.. thats why i dont play on official servers.. You'd be amazed at how much more fun it is to play on private servers. just my opinion of course. I even find unoffical pvp have danger as well.. just not as much or as often.. which is about the right amount for me. Also i hide my base.. play solo..or in very small groups.. so we don't stick out like a sore thumb. we seem to last wayy longer.. or never get wiped.

older games also took less work, not as complicated programming, and were finished quicker and easier to fix as well.. Games , with time, are only getting more complicated and time consuming to make. Some dev teams nowadays are made up of multiple diff teams based in diff studios to make games for some AAA titles. Its an unfinished game.. in early access.. not everything is gonna work right.. Bugs may pop up as they continue to work on it.. old bug, new bugs.. glitches, etc. Its life with an early access uncompleted game... Im wowed at the number of ppl who just ignore that fact and expect it to work perfect...

Wild Pirate Encampments give gold as well on singleplayer. Not quite as much as treasure maps, but a similar amount of gold that flotsom on the ocean(floating crates) gives you.

i forget the button, but its the far right hotbar slot.

thats not a bad idea.. and it would get ppl on the seas.. like the devs want more of

possibly.. ive seen them on freeports..

ooh i c now, yeah i misread that.

Same.. been playing it every night after work and weekends since it dropped on xbox. So far, they have been updating it the same as pc.. to keep them at the same version basically. They said they are gonna stop doing the minor every other day fixes, and start doing larger ones that arent as often. Their roadmap kinda describes their future with the game releases/additions/fixes

Ever since the game dropped on xbox, my ship structures have taken damage from sotd cannon balls. Walls, railings, ceilings, smithy, mortorpestle, table.. you name it.. They don't take massive damage.. the damage is spread around the area of impact like a shotgun blast.. so nothing is taking full concentrated fire but planks, but all the other structures are taking damage. I don't see why they would be indestructible..

thats actually what the developers want.. more ocean time.. less land time. They mention that in their roadmap. I believe one of Arks new items in the upcoming dlc is a floating foundation... I also believe after that is implemented, it will be brought over to Atlas.. for ocean bases... Pure speculation.. but my belief

using the full map? what do you mean? Singleplayer is the full map.. all grids. The discoveries don't work on the full map on single player other then the basic landfall island discoveries. After reading over this i just wanted to specify... The "full map" as in the Ocean map. Not Blackwood.. and i guess your talking about pc... i know on xbox the location discoveries don't work, but the island discoveries do.

this. Just put all your crew on a station.. sails.. cannons, wheel.. then they wont "fix"(sweep animation) You shouldnt ever need anymore crew then that. 1 crew per sail, 1 per cannon, and 1 for wheel... then when you wanna fix in port, just use the wheel guy.. he's parttime anyways lol

I play single player. Its mostly all i play on Ark too except i occasionly join an unofficial pc server when i want a ppl fix, and even then i dont see too many.. No lag... no issues with ppl and buildings and/or blocking.. i can fix most bugs with a quick admin command on singleplayer too. I change some settings to make solo more fun, like raise gather rates just a bit. As far as Atlas goes, get a bear, get a couple treasure maps, then use the coin to buy a crew. For late game, breed bears, and gets lots of mythic for legendary or mythical planks.

K i think i got it.. i can do all that.. except.. How do you open all the cannon doors at once.. there has to be a button for that

lol i dont plan on getting laid off .. but i did take 4 sick days the last 3 weeks so i could play it lol

ahh ic ic.. Yeah i have alot of friends who quit Ark after buying it cuz they died on the beach and couldnt handle dieing continually .. Get better.. learn from the attackers.. adapt.. get good

I miss the danger of Ark.. On Ark you have to have your gaurd up at all times.. be prepared for a carnivore to come sprinting out of the jungle to wreck you. At least in the early game. In Atlas.. its oh hum.. almost no danger on any land.. Ive been attacked by the random lion, tiger or snake.. but for the most part.. its been very easy going.. No threats really... It's not as dangerous.. I get it.. its a pirate game, so they want you to play on officials, and the danger is the other pirates.. I play solo, but on Ark I play on 8 or 10. Atlas I even crank up the difficulty.. I never play on 1.. its always 2 or more.. to 5, or 8 or 10. Thats my old style on Ark. I've noticed the tames cant lvl past a certain amount or dont gain levels if you tame them over 100-something.. so ive kept the difficulty at 2 usually tho. It'd be cool if there were random pirates walking around the islands(like Arks dinos, not nearly as many tho) and 2 or 3 sprinted down the beach when they seen you make landfall. Imagine you just make landfall, build a campfire or start walking/running to explore, then you hear a gunshot, or a "Arrrg" and 2 random lvl pirates come running towards you from the jungle. Your not ready and u have to run cuz your under lvled or dont have a weapon yet. That would add that sense of threat. I do realize some islands have tiger or lion spawns not far from shore.. I watched a yt series of a guy and he kept getting his house and animals attacked by continuous spawning lions, but would suck and I would just move, or lvl up my boars eventually like that guy did. I do love Atlas as I do Ark and don't get me wrong, the serenity of the beaches and making landfall is nice.. but i do miss that sense of threat Thats my only complaint.

How do you get up in the crows nests? I didnt think u could

Ark was the same way for me on officials on ps4.. So i only play on singleplayer or pc hosted servers. Lots of buildings or ships lags up the area..

Same problems im having. I can't see the forcefields around the locations in which i know excatly where a few are. Do you have to be 51 before they show up? or what? I do see each islands blue forcefield that dissappears when you discover the island by making landfall.. I just cant get those individual ones you find at odd locations.

i didnt block you lmao

idiotic drivel.. breaking down each of my sentences into each word you think best fits... your other posts suggest you play the game.... why tho?? why don't you stop playing.. and stop coming here.. judging by your other posts, it seems your kinda salty from the game trolling you, so your coming on here to troll ? Like i said.. therte are other Triple A games.. top games in history.. with bugs.. however minor they may be.. its a thing since the early days of gaming.. nothing new. And the game isn't finished.. thats why its called early access.. Once it is out of early access and finished.. there will still be patches to fix things, like any other game nowadays. You use 7Days as an example.. I believe they are still updating and patching, and adding things.. In this day and age games are rarely done. Especially with these smaller teams from non AAA games. yet your here.. and still playing it..

excuses for why their are bugs still when its out of early access? lmao why would i do that. Triple AAA titles that are amazing have bugs... Its part of gaming.. get used to it bud.. ive been gaming since 1990.. Im used to it. Why don't you go into programming and singlehandely fix the problems with the developers these days then.. Get on it.. or ppl like you will start complaining to you..

And you know whats even funnier.. the game is STILL in early access.. how bout that lmao
