Have you tried just keeping the gold in your inventory? Haven't built a new ship since the gold for ships mechanic came in to play...

I guess we now know where the gold goes when you are forced to pay for a ship you build with your mats...in your yard....it goes to the devs as payment for either coding classes, or actual proper coding!

It's a new feature.....ofc it's going to work...100% flawless!

They've stated that to implement the new trade system, a wipe is needed.....call me a simpleton, but...how does putting in a trade system negate the need for a wipe?

Devs don't seem bothered by the wipe at all...I think they enjoy making us start over...and over...and over again....they don't care about the countless hours players have put into their tames/bases/ships. They won't even come up with a way for us to at least keep our tames (or a limited selection). Although I'm not very fond of starting from scratch with nothing, I'd rather not lose the tames I've taken the time to get. Bases and ships can be rebuilt, but when you come across a beautiful pure white tiger with brown stripes, to which I've never seen the likes of before (and most likely never will again), that's a rather bitter pill to swallow. Devs: If you need to do wipes, fine, but at least come up with a way to allow us to keep our tames!

Not to mention they never explained who gets the gold you pay to build your ships, with your mats, in your shipyard. Who gets the gold? What does the cost cover? Oh, a nod at a couple of my previous replies: I'm STILL waiting for the people who wanted/suggested we pay gold for our own ships to raise their hand....I've still not seen one raised hand

From what I understand, you also have to pay gold for the ships you build on your own. That is what seems to be the issue. Players grind the mats for their shipyards, then grind even more mats for the actual ship building...now on top of that, we're expected to also pay gold to build our ships. No explanation to where the gold is going, or who you're paying to build the ship....in your yard....with your mats....

I'm going to go ahead and assume that, in this case, MAGA is used for Make Atlas Great Again....as for ships just being removed, i've had it happen some time ago (back when we had a server called NA PvE) .. Only info I was able to find was that perhaps the decay timer ran out....I've read that simply logging in does not reset the timer. I was advised by players to get on board each ship at least once a week and raise/lower anchor and play with the sails briefly. Been doing that since.

I'm still waiting to see who wanted/suggested that we pay gold for the ships WE build ourselves...I remember asking the people who wanted/suggested this to raise their hand...and as of now, I still see nobody raising their hand which leads me to believe NOBODY WANTED IT!!!!!!

Claiming they've heard (and listened to) our feedback...tell me..... Who here actually asked/suggested we pay gold to build our ships, in our own yards, using our own mats? Go on...raise your hand if you asked for or suggested/wanted it.... <looks around, so far nothing but crickets>

New content = Good (depending on content) Adding new content BEFORE fixing old/existing content and game = bad Claiming to listen to our feedback, but not actually listening to our feedback = bad Hinting about more wipes after previously stating no more wipes = very bad Look....the game has potential...it really does. It's cool you want to add stuff to the game, keeping it semi fresh....but I've said it before, and once again I'll say it again....FIX CURRENT STUFF (including server/performance issues) BEFORE ADDING NEW STUFF!!!! Your lack of logic here amazes me. The fact that you claim to listen to us, the players, but never provide responses etc to player posts, auto-closing tickets, and what not just proves you don't care what we say/ask for. As for even more wipes coming....why should anyone here (pvp and pve) bother playing if you're just going to keep wiping things? Why should Player X build ships to fight SoD if they're just going to lose the ships yet again? Why should Player Y spend much of their time/energy/resources to tame that one tame they've always wanted, just to have it taken away in a wipe? Why should Company A tame and breed some basic tames to help out new players with their first tames etc if you're just going to wipe again and again? You want us to play, and you want new players to join, but give NO reasons to stay. What's a new player to think when they just get a basic base going, to log in one day and have it wiped because you devs think it's for the best? If you need to wipe, find a way to allow players to keep the things they've worked tirelessly for. Or just get good at making a game and keeping the players. As for costing gold to build ships....really? I can understand if you're going to allow players to buy a brig from an NPC (like the guy in the freeports), but if I'm building my own shipyard, using MY resources that I grinded, why should I pay gold to build something with my own mats? Building ships should NOT cost gold if you're using your own mats, your own shipyard. Learn to get good, devs.

My guess is they're working behind the scenes on content that nobody wants, asked for, nor suggested, to which they'll claim will make the game better....Look at taking down the NA PvE server....nobody wanted it down... nobody suggested forcing all the NA players to connect to European servers...yet they did it anyway...why? They figured it'd make the game better. What I really hope they're doing is working on already existing issues that need fixing...fix what they already have before adding new stuff to break things even further.

Can I assume you're a fellow Torontonian (or a city near Toronto)?

Wait...what's wrong with solo players (assuming that's what you meant by "filthy solos")? I'm a solo player, but I don't take up 3,742 acres of land for a grand castle/palace with courtyards and grand entrances etc, and enough space for 1,967 tames (knowing the tame cap is 300)...

You mentioned new players getting a free tame....you've now at least got my attention....what are the choices for free tames, and what are the tame levels?

My single player crashes every time I exit the session. Made a ticket about it including the crash report, but bc it has nothing to do with what they're currently "focusing" on, I doubt the ticket will ever be read. I'm almost certain that it even says (just before making the ticket) that the "team" is currently focused on X,Y,Z aspects of the game, and tickets not dealing in those areas might not get read. I personally hope I didn't actually see that part. -- EDIT -- Thankfully I don't see that messsage about what types of tickets will be read, and what won't.

So I loaded my game, and on top of the usual "connection to hos lost" error (which usually kicks me to main menu, where I just rejoin atlas with no issues), I got an unexpected game crash. Can any of you devs (or other people who know how to translate these reports) tell me what's going on?

I think the AoD is meant to be killed quickly. I'm with you on the markers that are on top of those towering spires.... I hate sailing to a destination only to find that I've gotta be Spider-Man to even get to it. Waste of time. I really enjoy when I get the chance to dive. Maps have mediocre payouts, but give a bit of experience too. Only some shipwrecks are a waste (3.0 quality with maybe 50 gold and grey bp's...oh, and a touch of food).

Companies.....yeah....let me throw this out there..... There are obviously good companies and bad companies.... Good companies want you to invest in their product, whether it be a game (this case) or something else, but they ALSO read/acknowledge/respond to customer (us in this case) feedback. They appreciate what you say, whether it's criticism or a heart felt compliment. They act on what you say, taking your feedback seriously to improve their product. Bad companies just want your cash. That's it. Just your cash. They change their product according to what THEY want, with little to no regards to what their customers actually want or suggest. Feedback of all kinds, good or bad, gets ignored 99% of the time. When they just so happen to get something right, which would be rare, they act with "See? We listen to our customers" .... So.... Which category does this company fall in? You decide....

Atlas was running rather smoothly on my laptop, with no screen tearing, or choppy game play etc (lag was and is still ridiculous). Then that las t patch came out that "fixed" things - ie fake SoD's - which in some part was okay. However, since the patch, Atlas has been very choppy on the laptop. Moving around is no longer smooth, but very choppy instead. Anyone else have this issue? Any resolutions to the issue?

It's not just you. Placing shipyards now, specially the large shipyard, has become very tedious.

Can't they make it so the Army of the Dead ONLY aggros on to the player (and their tames?) who has the map? If the player moves out of a specific range, the AoD could disappear. If the player decides the AoD for that map is just too hard for them, and drops the map, the AoD disappears...something like that so that somebody else's tames don't get harmed/killed because of a blocked spawn, or too high of a level for the map holder. I've seen many players' tames killed because of this. Just a thought.

C7 is still at its limit? Dang.... I visited C7 from H4 last weekend for a couple of days, and couldn't even tame a sheep there to bring back home. That's actually how I personally found out about server/grid having a tame limit.

You guys want to put (regular) arrows back in the game.....or?......... I don't remember reading about arrows being taken away.

Here's my Ask A Pirate question: When are you going to focus on server performance issues, rather than add "new and exciting things"? We currently do not need new things added to the game. We need what we already have to be fixed first, including the ridiculous lag. Fix the game, then add new stuff.
