Put 200 hours on the last wipe, had a wonderful time with 4 people on pvp. 3 xbox players and one pc player; that's me. While we had survived cheaters, greifers and much more Atlas is not essentially a game like any other. If you and your crew do not sacrifice real life to play 7 days a week 16 hours a day. Something is bound to destroy you in your sleep, resetting you back no matter how many brigs/galleons you had the last time you logged off.
The only way to succeed in this game is massive trial and error, but I believe seasons should happen every 6 months. It's the only way to put everyone on even footing everytime, otherwise anytime you get raided and sent back to spawn. That's it for you, because now you can't compete with the people who retained their bases, unless you are really good a diplomacy and forged a strong alliance of small tribes. Yet we've all seen it time and time again, small tribes get convinced to merge into mega, then become slave workers and abandon all former alliances.
This is one of the greatest games i've ever played, also the hardest. Certainly makes ark look easy.
