Any code wizards know what it means when i look under file info section on xbox and it states IsPreIndexed:False?

Someone whos familiar w the Microsoft petition process should submit a request to have it pulled from the stores until the issue is resolved. Does singleplayer even work? Maybe that would motivate the developers to fix the problem instead of (possibly) using sleazy tactics to boost their Steam sales

@DocHolliday If he's associated w any of the sales staff of the companies involved i dunno if prison would occur but possibly criminal charges and a penalty, and i don't mean Subway.

Are things running smooth or laggy?

@DocHolliday ?

@DocHolliday <--- double boxed a rogue and a summoner or Played a Barbarian MeatShield or a Priest when playing in team. Been so long that the only equipment i remember are my glass throwing axes.. LOL

Duly noted Maybe someone will remake ShadowBane Good luck to ya

Buh bye

Just in case you deny lying... Weren't trying to convince me of anything, huh? NoW please go mangle someone else thread with your circular logic.. Nope. Its a contest to you, or else you would've pissed off by now

Name calling Lying Derogatory comments Wtg!

@jared.lapsley@gmail.com You said it already also one thread away... Stop throwing rocks from a glass house... Also I do have a better solution.. Submit an accurate bug report and wait for them to perform their job.. All of my company is owned by my xbox account, how the hell would buying a 3rd account on steam resolve anything? Now, respectfully, piss off.

@jared.lapsley@gmail.com I will NOT reward this blatant lack of transparency w a boost in their sales

@jared.lapsley@gmail.com I will not reward this blatant lack of transparency w a boost in their sales...

Used this forum to submit a bug report. Heading off for a few hours to find a gaming provider that functions

Im positive the devs said said something along the line of "we try to avoid nerfing things unless absolutely necessary, and put our focus on making things fun.." Skimmed all the announcements and i cant find it now... Why has gliding been nerfed?

Sidenote if THIS company HAD ANY business sense you would use these other platforms to simply say "New information regarding Atlas is available on our OFFICIAL FORUMS" Then Post a few ads... and make money I will only constructively hurl one insult. Incompetence.

@Killerswitch46 Where did you receive this news that should be posted on the official forums?

Any official word regarding what the problem is on the 7 other platforms they've decided to distribute information on? I mean these are the OFFICIAL forums correct?.. You know the place where gaming companies have traditionally ineracted w their fanbase for, oh i dunno the last FOUR FUCKING DECADES?..

I guess i was wrong, this IS Ark, not Atlas. Any chance you'll explain exactly what necessitated a change to gliding heights? Hats for bears. Wow. Way to focus on the important stuff.. Sidenote, why did you need to MAKE A WHOLENEW STRUCTURE FOR THATCH AND WOOD? JUST MAKE THE GODDAM COLLECTION RATES ADJUSTABLE ON THE FARMHOUSE! For example then i could turn berry collection OFF, and put that collection percentage into wood and thatch?... How goddam lost are you?

@kiritodw Great ideas.. What rates are you proposing for generational stat "consumption"? How about 10%, 25%, 50%? After that infertility maybe? Also how do you feel about the fact that we age but our tames do not?.. Aging in the animals would also keep populations down, although it would probably be more difficult to implement.

@Kummba Duly noted and thanks for the feedback. Also some people dislike the current system. Read the Q & A, devs have stated that someone on staff is looking into overhauling it. Ever had a base next to a breedery? The lag gets ridiculous, also the base foot print is generally obnoxious. If we want casual gamers to be able to participate in breeding, by shortening the time investment required, then the exponential growth problem needs to be addressed. Did you have an alternative solution?

@Frederick De Houtman What are you talking about?

@jmurph First of all thanks for the feedback.. My 2 cents.. 1. You can't ban alts. It's both impossible and unrealistic. I own 2 xboxs, one for me, one for my kids. I purchased 2 copies of the game. Launching an investigation into whether I'm using the 2nd account, or my son, is impractical at the scale this game is supposed to be designed for. 2. Caps per ANIMAL TYPE is a possible solution, and i dont mean dropping it from 300 to 150. I mean more like 6 per type, maybe less. 3. Increased food consumption per animal needs to be implemented. Bears living permanently on like 5 berries a day is ridiculous. My lions get by on a couple of steaks a day, IRL these animals require ridiculous quantities of food to live. 4. Unfortunately i don't believe a cooldown will stop breed factories. It needs to be both random and the more tames of the same type in the area the less chance of a female going into heat. That would offer a better incentive to players with limited playing time. 5. When this game goes live aging needs to be slowed significantly. Now its 80 years a month? More like 80 years every 3-6+ months is appropriate if the wipes stop. If age were applied to animals then it should be based on average real life animal life span. 6. Regarding inbreeding it should simply increase the miscarriage chance generation by generation. Also, take mutations out of the game. Its Atlas, not Ark. The stats per animal could be standardized or at least have tighter FIXED ranges. These changes would encourage players to stop spending all their game time watching animals bang and get them out on the oceans, exploring with a trusty sidekick and a small farm at their base. I say again its Atlas, not Ark. If you want to primarily breed then playes should be directed towards Ark & Ark 2 The devs have stated in Q & A the game needs more cohesion. Implementing some or all of these proposals would be a step towards that end. Feedback?

@Vivian & devs First of all just an fyi the devs have stated that they have someone looking into modifying the breeding system, dont remember if taming was mentioned. So Im sure they would appreciate constructive comments. Some things that make breeding a tricky mechanic in this game vs Ark is that this a pirate/ adventure game whereas Ark places animal taming and breeding as a central mechanic. The scale of this game makes breeding a possible game breaking mechanic, especially in PvE, I'll elaborate. Theres breeders who place literally 8+ story buildings filled with shelves of bears and breed en mass by taking a stud up and down elevators. 50-100 cubs dropping in a rotation. It quickly becomes a problem of exponential growth within weeks of a fresh server wipe. Giant buildings filled with ridiculous quantities of animals quickly begin lagging out areas then whole grids... PvP balances this mechanic more with warfare. For a great example watch the Youtube video Atlas Meat Run . Unfortunately when they make it easier for a casual gamer they also make it easier for mass breeding. Simple company cap reductions may help somewhat, but then determined players simply resort to alternate characters. Heres a rough draft of some possible solutions.. Studs - lets be honest, after 4 breeds they should shooting blanks and after 8 they should be asleep on the floor with zero stamina for several days.. Females - Stop using wandering to enable breeding. Instead use an "in heat" mechanic thats maybe rng based? Have them even reject studs, furthermore a certain percentage should become hostile attacking the stud. Characters age in this game, why not animals? Make animals infertile after a certain age, or just randomly. Rng based miscarriages? After some mechanics of these types are implemented THEN the breeding cycle could be shortened... Feedback?
