  1. So I set up a place to breed bears, I know about breeding bears as it was a sort of hobby on the side before the last wipe that was promised to never happen again but, I ran across an issue with breeding that I am not sure if a few or a lot of players have dealt with, here is how it started. Before the wipe I had no issues with breeding bears in M3 put 12 grills under the floor and anytime I wanted to breed didn't matter the time they bred but one day a guy came through and said " Can someone answer some questions about breeding bears please? " Oh, one of my most fav subjects in Atlas besides sailing which I can no longer do anyway, so one of my longtime friends was on too and he knows some things about tech crap as far as games go I do not but, this guy was having issues with breeding his bears, he lived in the Polar or whatever the very top and most coldest part of the map is, I told him to do the grill thingy and he said he has tried everything! My friend piped in and said something pertaining to, if your pen is too close to the edge of the ocean the map doesn't recognize you are on land, he went into some tech garble that I just didn't get and the guy said he WAS close to the ocean like right at the edge so he left I never heard from him if he resolved his issue but, my friend said that happens sometimes with planting certain things as well that would normally grow in the colder regions. My issue, H grid, my pen was overlapping the ocean, couldn't get them to breed to save my life!! Talked it over with some folks that just didn't believe it had to do with the map not knowing to separate ocean from land and, I remembered what my friend had said so, I built another one! A big one just like that one that didn't work NO, didn't work, it was NOT touching water however it was in a cove but on land so, my friend on that grid said come on over and see if they breed here, she had such a simple little get up I was like " no way! " and, yes way, she had like eight campfires below and right above she had only a small room that the bears could enter and mine started breeding immediately, I guess they were frustrated with all of the waiting they did with me trying to figure out the map configurations but, I ended up throwing down a wooden building not far from her place but, non intrusive and they freaking bred, this was waaaaay away from my area so, the map in that area for whatever reason would not allow me to breed on land, if someone can explain the tech jargon for the reason that would be abso awesome! Thank you in advance.
  2. Cutting some Atlas waves eh? LOL
  3. Is anyone losing animals during sailing due to this? I wouldn't know since I am afraid to sail which is stupid since that is what the game is based on but I don't want to lose my bears.
  4. You never had those issues because it was on an NA server not a global server.
  5. I have told players best get while the getting is good because of the animals being pretty much obsolete due to the farms, the breeders will start griping about it, being solo I like it but I can see your point at the same time I also see a lot of players charging out the back for prices of like 10k+ for a mater just absolutely ridiculous on prices and only a few will pay those prices I mean, if you don't want to do it and you think it is so hard to do then why do it? Why invest your time into it only to have them sit around and wait on a sucker to come along and pay that much for an animal. Two sides to every story or, more. And not having to make a small base like so many people do, one could set up a farm with a bed and that is all.
  6. The decay timers on some of these items is maddening like those billboards and the looms and smithy's and the forges they too should have the same decay time as the foundation of a base which IS decent time with ten days IMO.
  7. Agreed and at this point I will not sail which, is the biggest part of this game!! I knew this would happen and would have railed against it had I had a say so in the dumping us all on global but nooooooo none of us get a say so and now look, to the author everyone is complaining not just a few. We were attacked five times last week due to not being able to get the sails to work right they kept going up and down up and down due to the lag and rubberbanding sadly if it isn't fixed I will have to give up the game, really sucks!!
  8. Gameshooter crashed I have seen this before when I ran my own server years and years ago but can't recall what caused it but back then I knew how to fix it( have forgotten how! ) being I was the one that could work the server can someone tell me how to fix this please? Me along with five other players ( that we know of ) in our grid alone H8 crashed with this error me a total of seven times, the others were varying in the numbers it happened to them HELP! Please BTW I could absolutely NOT get any answers after googling blog to blog.
  9. Thank you!! I do NOT twitter at all and never will again but I am glad some of you guys do
  10. I am sorry but the way you described the invisible monster I just had to laugh. I too had a similar thing happen as well as others only we weren't sailing, our ships were parked outside of the base in waters that did not have boulders below otherwise, we would not have chosen that spot but they kept growing and our ships would just " leave the company " .......I had a brig, two schooners and a sloop go poof, a few other people in the same grid had the very same problem, this was before this last wipe ( which by the way was never supposed to happen according to the promise made from the previous wipe with xbox ) I turned a ticket in and in the following patch there were notes pertaining to fixing the growth of underwater boulders that weren't there before but, still had loss of ships, I just rebuild just easier to let them know what is going on and where than to try and make a list of all that I have lost I like to keep it simple.
  11. 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.
  12. Sounds interesting but I don't think it will happen. I think they would lose pve players way more so than pvp players, pvp players do not care where they are as long as they can destroy and kill period. You can't really log off safely in freeports, your ship will decay and it will go poof in a matter of a short time so stop overs yeah but no no on the log off, can you imagine how cluttered it would be if people were allowed to log off there? You would never be able to get TO the vendors, I am glad they made it quick decay, that gives people a line they can't cross and us humans need that in life and, in game because we are not smart enough yet to know when not to cross lines we shouldn't. I think maybe Atlas was trying with a pvp/pve situation like Memories of Mars has, that is pvp/pve, there is a certain zone that if one wants those special materials you must go to the pvp zone or, pay high prices for them so in the whole of that situation, it IS pvp although it says pvp/pve as you WILL be forced to join a large group and a lot of folks just don't want to, when one joins large groups one loses the actual base of the game, Tom, Dick and Harry will gather all resources so that leaves John to stand around and.....get bored. Don't get your moneys worth that way IMO only.
  13. I don't think the devs want it,I think they can do without pain in the a$$es being jerks and all of the tickets one could just go bury themselves over, maybe in pvp it would have it's reason as there you can be whatever you want to be without any scruples at all, pve is totally different and like the devs, you are leaving out part of our players with them it is pve players with you, it is solo players.
  14. Sounds good with one exception that I can see and that is the mega company's that take on any Tom,Dick or Harry those are the ones that would own the most and,leave the solo'ist in the ....well, nowhere.
  15. This is something I have not heard of before and could certainly keep a game going for the supply and demands of mats.
  16. Ok I looked up hex maps as I am not familiar with them at all, from what I could grasp from the explanation it gave as a general hex map is that cells can be crossed, is there a way you can explain it more simplistic and how it could work in Atlas please? I just didn't get how it could work going by what Wiki said. Thanks
  17. I agree totally, you give them concise and precise information and pics if they can be supplied as that will be the kicker.Glad you were helped
  18. *Exploiting Attacking or blocking players through the terrain Blocking players through the terrain is my problem still standing. Can't access beach. But he will not be an adult nor stop being a plain pig about the land and will continue his actions, sometimes you just have to let go it is only a game but, an awesome game! Whoot! *Extreme cases of utilizing structures on lawless servers with an aim to prevent inhibit what can reasonably be considered regular play. <Highly subjective. I will think about reporting it as you suggested above they have been really good to me as far as fixing my character in the past like I have said before and even made a shout out forum title about it, as long as it is precise and concise and of course with courtesy they usually will fix it. It's when players send in reports with their emotions involved and where as the actual fact of the situation is lost and leaving the people who fix the problems scratching their heads, they do not have time for guessing games I so totally get that.
  19. I do get what you are saying, there is NO grey area in that situation, none at all you either are one or you are not, AGREED. As far as killing someone? There are allllll sorts of grey areas there so DISAGREE there, a killer and self defense are two totally different animals facts being what separates one from the other, the end result is no grey area as dead is dead, it's that in between that is so shaded so no, imo it is NOT so black and white. After all of this talk of grey I must go listen to some Mr. Jones w Grey guitar by Counting Crows been too long:)
  20. LOL no worries Thanks for the info though! Maybe they will give you a notice to contact
  21. I did as you suggested and removed them, silly of me to put them up to start with as I am grown sigh. Thanx
