bit of a yikes for that ZIP download :L

if you notice when a patch goes live that actually EU PvE is the only one thats up. This is so they can test it on the Live server's and make sure nothing is wrong. hence why you might see the EU PvE Server up for 30+ mins after a patch and none of the other :V

On C14 Northern Free-port there is a place you can get stuck - in images. Follow the path up. There is a rock you can jump and you can get stuck

The thing is the area where me and my friend were shooting was an area where only crocs spawn. Just in between every shot they just naturally reneged most of their HP

Hey team,

has anyone else found the crocs are now stupidly hard to kill? Normally either 3 fire arrows would do or a carbine + pistol shot would kill them.... now its taking multiple carbine shots (friend shooting at a level 25 croc) and me shooting at a level 19 croc broke my flintlock (fresh craft) and still was a live :L
This seems to have happened as of a recent patch and that the health and armor values of the croc has mass spiked up which isnt fun when 90% of our animal spawns are crocs :L

There is also a mini-game with the Sextant which increases the speed of which you travel on the boat depending on how good you are with the mini-game

Is anyone else getting a stupid amount of lag? like everyone in my company is complaining about it and so are a lot of people in sectors i go to.
Also is anyone getting a lot of Disconnects from the game? Im getting nearly one every minute :L
the first couple of days i was playing i hardly got any lag and probably DC'd 1 or 2 times a day .-. getting really hard to play if you are rubber-banding back to the spot you were at and then DC'ing

Flame arrows in a PvP Stance is broken due to the fact they pierce armor and do DoT damage (i believe its % of health as well - or was % of health)

Strange. I head shot a tribe mate in plate with a 134% carbine and it did 29 damage. 

I have varying numebrs with shooting at company members or enemies... like sometimes i will dink them for 130 damage and other times i will pull a 10 dmg shot. Its really weird

2.5x is a nice "event" rate but for official servers i dont think it should be this rate maybe a 1.5ish rate would be enough. During the 2.5x we had gathered so much that we were basically dropping anything we gathered and that was a problem cause some materials we can only get via trading the goods we dropped so a higher rate for sure but not a 2 or 2.5x

Maybe have weekend rates vs weekday rates having weekday a normal rate and weekends a higher rate cause more people are online for the weekends

We seem to have found an issue that causes lag. Treasure Maps. Weather stored in large boxes or small boxes every time you open a box with map/s in it a large lag spike happens. Why? Every map's icon thing RENDERS so the map displays a part of the island and an X on its Icon - Look at image and you see that these maps are all different for their location and every time you open a box it renders (you can see it starts Blank then puts the image on) 

How do we know its the maps? We have 4 small boxes with maps in them. There are 6 of us online from our group. We all went 1 by 1 with a 2 min gap in between to open one of the boxes. We all felt lag spikes every time someone opened the box.

A fix? Easy. Make it like every other item - a Static image when in storage like it rolled up or something

There is a soft cap level being 51 - entices you to explore
You can get past this by exploring and apparently after exploring its max is 81 (Though the max level int confirmed)

No Problem
I try to help people through this so called "Cancerous, Dead, Worst" game :V

What skill tree is that in? 

Piracy has the DivingAttachment. Put the Attachment onto any ship and then put oil into it. You will have X amount of time before your own Oxygen starts being used

We walk up to our Lighthouse, open its inventory, and dump oil into it :V and idk if you have to turn it on like a campfire or not but the whole building (when lit) will deal damage to you (i think its based of the Campfire just with different look and changed what can and cant be put in)

The Black Skies is due to turning off some settings and turning down sky quality. I dont know what settings just fiddle with them

I actually quite like the black skies

Also blueprints help you from have to put points in certain trees, essentially letting you bypass certain skill reqs.

False. In ARK you could use BP's whenever you wanted in this game you actually require that skill to use the BP's

As for answer: BP's have higher durability and can have modifiers on them e.g. a bow bp can have 115.789% damage instead of a 100% bow. We did pick up some BP's from treasure hunting and we got armor and the armor's had a buff on them for instance we had one that raised HP, Speed and Melee Damage so its kinda like a Class Armor almost. Maybe Taro will unlock a way to remove modifiers or move them over to another item

Water is a big issue. We are surrounded in water but unable to drink it. The only way to get water is either to dig for it depleting the water in the ground or wait for rain which doesn't happen often. I suggests two applicable ways for water.

1. Well
   Dig for water with a shovel, get a 1000 water spawn (like 4 or 5 correct skill checks) and be able to put down a well. The well will drain the water but over time the water comes back and can refill the well
2. Boiling
   Being able to take water from the Sea or Ponds on islands using what ARK had and then having a tap feeding the water into a cooking pot and then having it be boiled down.

The island that I am on is quite small and water is depleted a lot of the time and it hardly rains

If they wish to convert the game into a mmo with the changes in the skill costs they have made, they will must introduce two systems of experience in the game, each with its maximum level (51) one based on the combat in which when leveling up you invest in the combat skill trees and another based on crafting and gathering in which you gain experience only by collecting or crafting (tools, weapons etc) and that when leveling you give you skill points to invest in crafting skill trees, survival etc ...

Could have a 2 tree system with sub systems or each tree earns you EXP meaning you can either

1. become better at the skill (say if you were shooting a flintlock you could be dealing more damage or every x shot applies a blind or slow etc) 
2. say you weren't spced into rifles but you used a rifle X amount of times you then get the understanding of rifles and can passively earn points

I dont know if you could apply passives to crafting/building maybe have them all fall semi under the same grouping and then say every time you make a club or a wall you earn a little bit of EXP into the Building/Crafting tree line

If all you are going to do is moan and winge and cry at EARLY ACCESS GAMES stop buying them. Wait for release. Wait a couple months AFTER Day 1. I want to say 90% of the steam reviews is people shitting on how Day 1 was a laggy mess. Tell me what Online game with a large player base is gonna do an A+ 100% perfect no issues on day 1? Some of them are "I cant buy the game" Thats not their fault thats on steams end having suddernly thousands apon thousands going to a place to buy something is basically dosing them in a sense.
There are a lot of changes that are yet to happen and to the people that are saying dead game you are very wrong my friend. there may be a lot of salt and rage but it isnt a dead game. if it were a dead game the plugs on the servers would already be dead no? You guys just need to stop complaining and saying turn it back i want my 3 1/2 tree learnt skills back instead give feedback and ways to change it like i did. Its much more helpful than having a bunch of monkeys spewing wanting shit put back when it was clearly broken as fuck

for why the pve servers is ? show me MMORPG especially only 4 a group team play without any solo play. its a guaranty speedway to the dead game.

Cause this isnt your standard run of the mill MMORPG where you run around and do Fetch and Grab quests. This is an MMORPG with a twist. You can't solo high level raids in WoW can you? you go in a group its basically this but applied to the whole game Atlas is taking your Team based, Role shooter (TF2, OW etc) and applying it to the MMORPG world and like it or not it only takes 8 or 9 people (depending is a person meme's or not) can cover all the tree's.
Also PvE? You wouldn't really need to take all of the cannon tree or firearms cause a bow, flintlock and the basic cannon stuff for ships should be enough. Also in Floatsam you can find BP's for many different things. Farm them and then you can build from there as well

And like i said the suggestions I had said could remedy this patch and

The dev's had even said in the streamer EA part was "You can play Solo to a point but really you need to be in a group"

still applies. If you have 40000 people playing a game whats the real point in playing solo? you are basically gonna get a lot of burnt out people wanting a lot more content that they can produce

So we all have been hit by this patch. I see why they are doing this and thats cause there are what (pre patch talk) 300 skills to choose and at level 51 you cold have 102 min (sometimes i noticed i got 3 skills per level up) meaning you could at min max out 1/3 of the skills.

I see a lot of people saying "You now have to join Zergs" or "you cant play this game solo any more" I never saw this game as a solo game. The dev's had even said in the streamer EA part was "You can play Solo to a point but really you need to be in a group" ever since i heard this i knew this was very much group orientated. There is a streamer who im subbed to and the subs that have the game are kinda split 80:20 (20 to streamer cause its a mess there) but 5 of us were online when the patch hit. We basically sorted out the skills trees. Most of the skill trees require one prior e.g. Rifles require Archery so naturally the person with Archery is in Rifles as well. Ships require cannons so cannon tree and ships went together. there was all but like 3 tree's the 5 of us couldn't cover and we knew there were 3 people that had speced into those tree's prior to patch so with the 8 of us we can cover all the tree except Taro Cards (naturally its locked)
There are some Tree's that are QoL's such as Piracy. Really all you need from Piracy is the Shovels. The rest of it is just personal buffs that dont really matter.

There are some changes I could see happening and thats

1. Halfing the skill requirements
   I dont see 1 point per skill is really good but instead of 8 make it 4 and instead of 6 have it 3
2. 1st line of skills per tree (except survival) is auto given
   say you went into construction. As a perk of picking construction you know how to do the first row making it slightly easier to do tree'

Other than that there really isnt a problem with the patch due to the what I had said in the start of the paragraph. It sucks for solo players but its a group game i dont see why you should be solo any way

So due to a meme thing in a Twitch chat I speced into Music and hopefully into rifles (just need the flintlock) I build my accordion we set sail on our newly finished (just before patch) Schooner and we picked up some Floatsam and it had a sheet of music for the accordion. I drop the Music onto the Accordion... I left click and what do you see.... you need SIX PEOPLE including yourself to start playing music.... I AINT GONNA GET 5 MORE PEOPLE INTO MUSIC... make it so its a solo thing that only requires myself and accurately hitting the keys at the right time.

Those wanting to know the meme: A streamer that i am subbed to played Final Fantasy Tactics as a throwback game he used to play a lot when he was younger. He was alternating between Subs and Non Subs for the people he names and my name happened to be pulled out. I asked to be a Male Bard which he laughed and was like okay (bards are useless) later on I learn how to use a crossbow which leads into a gun. After that I learned how to fly (basically be able to scale terrain a jump wouldn't be able to do) I would buff myself and teammates, fly up to an enemy and pop them in the face for a stupid amount of damage and thus i was named secondly as Bard With a Gun

to trade for some land

We dont want to trade land. We want to trade Sugar.

Only trading in Freeports

Our company got wiped - Unable to do any trades

Hey guys. Looking for Islands with metal spawns on NA. Our island seems to be baron with Metal spawns (actually spawns in general for resources but seem to be patching that ina future patch) the other Islands in out sector have been heavily claimed by clans and those Island's seem to have metal spawns as they have cannons galore.

Either info for metal spawn islands or trading of metal for Sugar (our island likes to spawn sugar) would be much appreciated.

Also a Cow and a Bull would be nice as well. We used to have a lot of Cow spawns but now it only seems to be Crocs and Snakes with the odd Elephant spawn
