    Ahoy Pathfinders!


    Conch here, bringing the latest edition of Atlas Community Q&A with the Devs!

    Without further ado, here’s our Q&A! Hang out at our Discord for a chance to get your questions answered in the next Q&A

    How does the team feel about setting minimum stat values for blueprints at each rarity and adjusting the maximums, so that 300% cannons as an example cannot exist and so mythical blueprints that are no better than common ones don’t exist either?
    There is a huge balance pass in progress for blueprints right now.  Please let us know what you think once it's done.

    Are there any plans to reduce stun duration with shield bash or even use a diminish return so it isn't an indefinite lockdown?
    Yes. There is a lot about combat that really bothers us and stun locking is number one.  It's on the list.

    When can we expect more pvp balances to come? 
    It would be great if players could provide a detailed list of changes they would like to see in the Discord channel.  We have a long list of things we're fixing from the old team and putting a complete and forward thinking list up in the discord channel is the single best way to be heard. 
     

    When will the SoTD loot table be fixed? Also the instant/infinite respawn of Sea Fort tax banks? Will there be some tweaks also to the market/warehouse/farmhouse structures to limit companies from spamming them so that new/returning players can have a chance to get their markets up?
    Consider them all added to the list. Cheers!

    Any ETA on some bug fixing and stability patches?
    We run patches roughly every 2 weeks. There are a number of fixes associated with each patch so we are doing this constantly. If your particular issue isn't being surfaced, please join our discord and let it be known there.


    As always, we appreciate the suggestions and feedback from the community. Please keep them coming! Thank you for all of your support! 🙂

    To the Atlas Development Team

    1.People have spent HOURS HERE on YOUR COMPANIES OFFICIAL MESSAGE BOARDS providing feedback. If anyone appreciated it you'd be saying "Hey Jimbob McGee thank you for your feedback". Its cleanly typed with points, subpoints and rebuttals. Stop redirecting and obfuscating by telling us to use discord or any other 3rd party product.

    2. The new Dev Team has owned this since June of last year, throwing the old Dev Team under the bus is scapegoating and speaks volumes about the competence and honesty of the leadership . I don't even code but I KNOW an SotD loot table or blueprint quality range adjustments can be made for the ENTIRE game in less than a few hours.

    3. THIS SITE IS AVAILABLE TO ALL YOUR USERS, DISCORD ISN'T. "Forward thinking lists" belong HERE. Period. Your clearly giving forum members the brush off. MMOs BEGAN ON MESSAGE BOARDS YOU BUNCH OF ASS CLOWNS. YOUR IGNORANCE AND INSINCERITY IS BEYOND COMPARE.

     

    Tough choices need to be made. Your either scared or incapable of making them.

    Jesus Christ, maybe if you would have said Covid was slowing progress I would have believed you, but blaming YOUR random, selfish and inconsistent progress on development of this game on people not around to defend themselves. Grow the fuck up.

     

    Your clearly running blind and trying to hide it

    I just gave away or scuttled everything built this season.

    Soon I'll be uninstalling.

    Maybe I'll dip back to the forums as people who see the floundered potential in this game often do... Will you bray at me then too?

     

    As a sidenote, I've told you multiple times and in multiple ways that I don't care if you don't believe me. Same reason my company was named DGF this season. Same reason the scientific community took years to embrace the theories of a patent clerk.

     

    Enjoy your sloops and sea horses chuck.

    Oh well, scuttled my brig yesterday.

    Scuttling my gally today.

    Giving warehouse, gold, buildings, tames, food and drinks to my friends. Not that many still play this anymore...

     

    Been offering free help since season 3. Zero thanks given.

    Been posting since season 4 that i have a novel, possibly copyrightable solution to all their problems that would make this a G.O.A.T. and haven't received a single inquiry. No direct message. Taking it on the open market since its applicable to any mmo.

    Over 2400 hours playing time since i bought 2 accounts in season 3. Whats the next patch gonna be? A tamable Jumbo Shrimp?

       Pirate-definition: one who engages in acts of robbery on the high seas (Merriam Webster Dictionary)

     

    How about we focus on that..

     

    This is advertised in the xbox store as the "ultimate pirate experience.."

     

    Enough with the 20+ tames, hats on cats, blueprints, grinding, breeding, farming, farmhouses, warehouses, markets, bosses, gigantic bases, lighthouses, shops, holiday decorations, "exciting new features" ..... AND JUST GET PEOPLE OUT ON THE SEAS FIGHTING AND PLUNDERING. PERIOD.

    Thats it. Thats the point of this game. Get back to basics instead of layering all this bullshit into a giant shit sandwich. Focus on the core experience instead of making things so complicated.

    Its a pirate game. Let me be a PIRATE then, then, THEN after that let me CHOOSE to fart around with all the anncillary content.

    @Ranger1k What it comes down to is that it is possible to like something, and still find faults with it.


    I should be allowed to like the ability to passively generate gold and materials and well as trade them around island, while also disliking the gameplay loop that is inadvertently created.


    Sure, I COULD go make gold other ways, but unless I genuinely enjoy those other activities, its not worth doing.

    ...Which I don't. TMaps are 70% sailing, 25% climbing to hard-to-reach places, and 5% fighting.
    Worse, TMaps on top of stone pillars make it impossible to get bear up there to fight the mobs, so unless i re-spec my character for combat, i cant really fight them unless i bait them off a cliff to where my bear rests below.
    TMaps suck ass.


    What I do enjoy is making ships and fighting SotD, but I cant make gold doing that.
    In the past, I took pride in how efficiently I harvested mats and enjoyed taming and breeding animals to do accomplish that.

    The time to get a Galley for me used to be about 10 days for my first one if I grinded for the mats, but that included taming bears, giraffles, elephants and rhinos.
    After the first Galley, I was able to build a 2nd or 3rd one in much less time.

    Now, I'm gated to 10 days with optimal trading, or less if I grind maps all day. I can spend 30 min a day to make 5k, or 5 hrs a day to make 2k doing maps. Really?

    I edited your post down to the points I sympathize with.

    Only fault I'll accuse you of is presenting trading and the other gold gathering means as either/ or,  because they're not. Not important though because I agree with your summation of the situation, basically that many people competent utilizing their warehouse will choose to just dump their excess mats and wait for the gold for they need for the ship they want to magically appear.

    Obviously larger companies will invest in cheaper fleets because many people enjoy sailing, whaling and diving etc.. Plus many members wont want to take a number and wait in line.

    The entire situation is ridiculous. Passive income and shipping mats conveniently shouldn't even be intertwined. If anything, shipping shit should COST money, not generate it.

         1. Trading mats needs to be reconfigured as mentioned above. Some rewards and losses could still be part of the system but it should NOT be a source of direct gold revenue

         2. Passive income solutions

           A. If the developers want to create passive income sources just disperse little gold and silver deposits throughout the land and oceans. When a player finds one he just attaches an NPC with an extraction widget to it and receives bullion for a week or month etc

          B. Let Companies own small businesses that they place on their claim. Examples are a Tavern, a Bakery, a Tailor etc. Place one down get Xgold daily. Sidenote, the idea that we have 121 grids filled with islands inhabited with animals but ZERO NPC humans strolling around borders on negligence. 

         3. Fix the SotD loot tables. Quadruple the gold drops, minimum.

     

    OK I'm done providing todays good faith consulting. God forbid @Gortok or some other member of staff quits playing on Facebook, Twitter or Discord and chimes in and acknowledges the feedback being given ON THEIR OFFICIAL FORUMS. Timers hitting zero

         (smashes his guitar and walks off stage)

    1. Gotta side w @Chucksteak regarding the warehouse income. Theres about a dozen other ways to make gold. Your creating YOUR dilemma. Kill a whale, dive for a treasure, sell a tame, kill an SotD, hell just grapple flotsam. I know breeders paying 100+gold a stack for meat...

    @n0ttsweet otherwise though i thought your post was interesting...

    2. Regarding trade the problem is simple, the UI is terrible. Period. It needs to work like the stock market...

         If i have 5k Iron to trade I should simply list it as an open ticket with resources Im willing to accept

         If i want 5k iron once, again, i should simply submit an open ticket with resources I'm offering

         If i want to shop around i should just type in "iron", scan the open tickets and commit the desired transaction.

     

    Period. Its not fucking rocket science. If these devs would knock it off with the "look busy doing something" bullshit with hats for bears, fucking dolphins and seahorses, playing around on twitter and discord the shit would have been done right the first time back in fucking November.

    Talking to you @Gortok, again

     

    PS Fuck a survey

    @Chucksteak

    Review your previous posts you've made the last few weeks my friend. Your actually in agreement w me. Simply put a meta is pointless in a broken system. Is there a "Meta" for a hockey player? Sure speed, agility, size, stickhandling etc.. Does it matter if the game is almost always JV against Varsity though?

     

  19. Posted · Edited by Ranger1k

    Theres no curret PvP meta.

    The game lacks enough cohesion for that. Join a mob, lay low or participate in fragile alliances.

    Thats it.

    Theres some best practices, such as create a character 2 feet tall, level quiickly and pick on someone whos offline or unable to muster a solid defense. Thats about it. They're farting around with tames and tweaks because they're afraid to address the core issues.

     

    Period

    Not only have i offered to fix this game, many other people have offered solutions as well. They have our contact info but they'd rather play on twitter and discord

    @ProfessorDub

    Multiple threads about it on here.

         Dunno about eta on fix. You might have better luck contacting a dev/ rep such as @Gortok, @Nami and other official reps on the other 4 social media sites they seem to prefer over their Official Atlas Forums.

         I mean MMOs just BEGAN on message boards and all, but, ey whadda i know... *chuckle.... *mumble, mumble, groan, frown

    🙂

    Good Luck

    My bad

    Try another bug report and be as specific as possible

    Maybe the devs did some work on firmer terrain clipping, or, like you said, maybe its a bug. I don't think they nerfed build height when they nerfed gliders...

     

    I'm assuming you cleared rocks and other stuff that may be interfering..

    I remember last season there was an issue building into the water in various locations.

     

    Good luck

    @Jgre2301 fud

    In addition to the traditional methods, which can be found via some searching on these forums, theres another way.

    Simply taking a bear to a control point can yield between 100- 100,000 gold by destroying the tax bank. Its a little wonky, sometimes the bank immediately respawns on ya. Bring a few turds to eat to insta-die or you may have to punch till you die of exhaustion if you get stuck inside.

    Just dont aggro the defense towers.

    Best done w a buddy but i think it can be done solo
