Yeah it’s going to be in 3 weeks. Wait till ark extinction part 2 comes out. They will completely abandon the game for another 8 months again lol

I read it, I play on xbox and PC. I have been part of many betas the point is to make the game better not worse. The SOD and the ship frames need to be fixed. So yes this game is turning into a POS. I only get on now to maintain my bases and feed animals. This last hot patch did not make me go to sea more but become a land lubber. 

Even though I don’t really like the other guy either I do put some of the blame on you though @Jaster. Not for the reasons he said it was your fault but I want you to think about this.

when you keep coming back just to “maintain” you are keeping the numbers up which lets the devs know that their behavior is acceptable. If they still maintain an acceptable amount of playerbase then they will not change and they will not improve. 
 

I am not insulting you like the other guy did but I do want to let you know that I do put blame on you as well after you explained what you do. You are not helping the situation.

Failure to fix bugs, or even address the most recent bugs with the latest patch in a timely fashion, and the games numbers according to steam are back down under 2k.


RIP Atlas.

This reminds me of back when the game first dropped, about a month in , they released an update that broken wild animals (they instant healed, was either hellish hard or impossible to kill) and then waited 2 weeks to fix it, 1/3rd of the playerbase quit and the numbers just kept dropping from there.

I think the real problem is it took this long for players to realize how this game failed. I really pity those people for not being smarter and realizing sooner.

Pve nonsense eh? LOL   Your welcome to play blackwake buddy.  OH wait its a dead game, hmm imagine that.  Its almost like the market is SWAMPED with pvp trash games. 

Everyone was crazy over HUNT now its barely played. 

Last Oasis was a big HIT! for like 2 weeks LOL  community is barley there anymore. 

Just a couple of examples, hell I could go on there are so many DEAD pvp games.  

I mean look at ark.  Why do you think Ark is still popular as it is?  ROLFMAO do ya really think its because of the pvp community in ark?  Its the pve content and modded content ( all pve creatures and building blocks) That keeps people playing and using their  imagination.   

Yeah it’s funny how that guy was saying pve was for people that can’t pvp when in reality atlas in general is a place for people that can’t pvp well because this isn’t even real pvp to begin with.

By the way Gin, did you get those pictures I sent you? Why don't you send any back?!  ROFL

God they are doing stalking in pve now? Lmao man this game has gotten pathetic. No wonder the fast decline in players. Every wipe there is always what I call the “pathetic” that come back to be the alpha lmao, but once they realize they are the losers in even a losers game they leave again. I can imagine these new “additions” if you want to call them that will be a very good detriment to the game. 
 

let’s see shall we? Lol

Yeah these guys just really suck. To be honest should we even be glad the old team left and left us with these new people? I mean really?

That make trailers that are better than the actual gameplay? Or show things that end up being changed, in an EA trailer? How dare they. 

Pretty much. That and abandon their game for another one and never communicate with their community. Sometimes just straight up lie. The list is pretty long with these guys.

I think it would be a great idea to add some kind of attachment for The Galleon or brig that would allow a space for ship games while on the sea. These games can include dice, fencing, small animal arenas, dueling, shooting ranges, Hell it can even have Hopscotch or tic-tac-toe!

I would love to see this happen guys as it can get kind of boring and repetitive just sailing.

Dude come on, you think they could even pull that off in the first place? Lmao  

nah, that will never happen

Three to six weeks is a normal amount of time for a wipe to die down. Its got little to do with servers or lag.

People get bored, they move on to other games for three to six weeks, they come back.


Not a new concept.

I am a little confused. Where exactly is the “they come back” part? In terms of total player count only like 2k or so came back after it’s all time low. Sure you are right that they got bored, but that only means the 2k got bored after that amount of time. 
 

the other 10’s of thousands got bored over a year ago and never came back. And what I mean by over a year ago is that almost a year and a half ago which the funny part is the game is only a year and a half old.

There are because most of servers are just unplayable right now. Even my I7 now in this state, because every 16 seconds it stops for 2 seconds (you can perfome any action while stops period) and then warp everyone back to where all were before stop. So gameplay looks like that:

- You run your pier, then jump to the boat, then find yourself flying from pier to waters 50 meters back from your boat.

- You run to your house, open door, get in, open chestbox, then find yourself 50 meters from your house.

- You go for trees, your horse with cargo harness following you. You approach the tree, start to hit it. Then you find yourself 50 meters back hitting your horse staying there.

- Your ship do full stop every 16 seconds. Waves runs back at those stops. You waste alot of cannonballs trying to fight, because you can shoot and then all stops and warped back. All but not your cannonballs for some reason : ))

- You waste alot of projectiles because you can shot something and next second it will warp back. Not sure if it's possible to dig a treasure in our region anymore. And... well hunting fish with spear launcher go in to very expensive state.

- Because of those rewinds, day/night cycle sometimes not following the clock. You may see daylight at 22:29 (10:29pm) and then 22:30 (10:30pm) it's turn dark like within 0.1 second. Same with morning. It might be darkest night and next second - bright shiny day.

But most annoying are warps. It's just pisses me off to go somewhere and then find myself in to another place, pointing walls, flying from the pier etc. That's why I became so angry about ppl, who came here to play "minecraft" creating their arty designs, building palaces, pyramids etc (and all creations ARE THE REASON). They destroyed my game experience. That's why I happy and really HOPE that game goes to "prefab" buildings state.

It really sounds like the dev team though man. All of those things are the result of a bad dev team.

I noticed a reduction in players on server I am on also. The novelty wears of quickly if you've been around since the beginning.

We have been through wipes many times, trouble is they are not adding enough content to draw people back.

Then you have the griefers blocking and trolling to the point where people give in and just don't play it. I will be very surprised if this ever got to full release.

I get you totally. I would be fine with wipes as well but if you “just want me to do the same damn thing over again(except build a couple different buildings) then no, I’m done” lol.

Please. Please sell it to a more capable company. This game has so much amazing potential. Try Bioware or Amazon. They would buy the assets to add to New World as an expansion. Just please,  sell it. You can't afford what this game needs. I'm sorry.

No this game has already failed. It’s just not a good game. A couple more months and we can bury it. It’s well past time anyways.

So they basically removed content by pretending to add content. Yeah I liked tames so if they take away the need for them I wouldn’t bother coming back. 
 

so much for “making sailing more important” I don’t get how people can be so clueless 

Wow, I just went on to the steam charts and realized even though there was a small increase last month after the wipe Here we are just a month out and there is already a decrease in numbers. I didn’t come back after the wipe but does anyone know why the numbers are already dropping?

is the new dev team just as bad as the old one?

I also like this season, sailing through lawless is a blessing with the optimisation, i also like that they finally fixed the ladders. I am having a blast.
THANK you new Dev team, good job.
I just would like them to not having single foundations decay that fast, with that, it would be the perfect game.

If you are going to praise the new dev team then your words are useless without first condemning the old dev team.

I am in a mega and I do not like the idea of tracking individuals for multiple reasons.  Numbers however are handy for everyone in predicting attacks or just plain looking for trouble.

Guess you aren’t in a big enough mega because they don’t care what you think, yet they do care what Megas think. Megas love tracking people.

dont bother arguing because we can already see the facts so opinions don’t matter.

That response Pooter absolutely made no sense!  Breeding tames all day is 100% not being lazy!  Being lazy is having people in your company do everything for you and/or you buying tames instead of breeding them.  Jesus did the IQ's drop suddenly in this Forum?

Did you misunderstand me? Not sure. I didn’t say breeding tames was being lazy. I am saying that very specific people in companies have the time/opportunity to do it and others don’t. The lazy remark is to the people that don’t want to have to wake up at certain times or don’t want to have to babysit the babies. Yes that is laziness. If you don’t want to do that then you simply don’t deserve it. Hence the “go buy it”. Stop being lazy once again.

Hello friends. I made my first puppies and noticed that it doesn't matter how many children I raise, if they are from the same parents. They are always born with the same attributes. I have already made 3 generations of children of the same parents and even children of the children. Nothing changes.
Then the doubt. How am I going to make children stronger if they never get better?

Please don’t say children. That’s nasty

What I mean is this, we have no GM's and don't expect any but, there IS griefing and everyone knows of it, like today, I logged in to find an a$$ had practically built in my backyard, I asked wth and he said he wasn't going to put up any gates to block it or anything but it is right at my back door, not only that, he blocked me off from the beach and he has a large portion of the beach so he has put up pillars and foundations allllll over the place including encroaching on mine which I wouldn't mind so much if he didn't take it all!!! So in turn, I put pillars between his foundations, I have left information as to where to reach me when I am not on so we can compromise, he said he didn't want  trouble but yet he is still cutting me off so I ask the Dev's, what sort of retaliation should be done in this instance as it will not be fixed turning in a ticket, please, help me understand here. If I did wrong let me know what I should have done.

I am not the only one,there are so many fights going on on a daily basis of people blocking their ships, their bases just stuff that is uncalled for and makes no sense.

What it comes down to is your fortitude. Regardless of what anyone tells you, grieving is grieving. If you stoop to their level(at any point regardless) you are just as horrible as they are and there is no excuse for it, o don’t care what they did. 
 

if you kill someone you are a muster and if you grieve someone you are a griever. I love it when people act like there is a gray area which there is not. Because regardless of the reason why you killed someone(self defense) you still killed someone lmao, and regardless of the reason you grieve someone(they did it first) you are still a griever. 
 

please take that into consideration because by definition those are the only two options. You either are one of them or you are not. Most definitely black and white without any shade of gray let alone 50.

COMEBACK!

 

Guys keep it up. I have to say, this new Dev team. You guys will make this game of the year when it releases. If you can figure out a way to make PVP as responsive in official as it is with Single player. you Guys will make this GOTY. These new QOL changes will change this game in such a way. I do recommend moving resource collection to 3x to help smaller companies though. Large companies have numbers these rates dont really affect them. I have led 40, ran solo, ran trio, and now, running a 6 man group with Three verterans with combined 10k hours in the game from companies like N3, slam whales, Two Brothers, and AEA. Were seeing what youre doing, we will do our part to bring these players back. I do think, eventually I would totally support purchasable content in game. SKINS ONLY, but as a guy with this much time in it, you deserve the cash to grow your team. This doesnt feel like ARK development anymore. It reminds me of the early days, with updates daily sometimes, weekly almost guaranteed. HMU on discord if you would like some more feedback from a team of players that really know this game.

Devs are going to make the No Mans Sky game repair look like peanuts compared to this. Im so excited. AMAZING changes. This will always be a PVP game, but as far as im concerned, even in PVE these are HUGE QOL improvents. Giving us time to build more, fight more, enjoy more.

 

Im over 3k Hours WITH taking season 3 halfway through off. LOVING THESE CHANGES KEEP GOING!

Except the number are already dropping. It was a very short lived peak. There is no coming back. There was already a bad taste left in too many peoples mouths. 
 

just remember, even though you “think” there are more people in the game that is only because they not only took away one cluster but reduced the remaining 3 down by 100’s of servers.

if you have twenty fish in a large fish tank it will seem pretty empty, but if you put those 20 fish into a little fishbowl It will seem like there is a lot. This guys are good at being used car salesmen.

The biggest time sink in game atm is hands down the breeding!!  Stop wasting our time with "farmhouses" and start actually getting us off the land and onto the Seas!  You Devs should reduce breeding times by 1/2.  Do that.....and then you can work on other stuff.  But before you even do that......you should fix all the bugs you recreated from Season 1.  Give us back our 6 resources for each material....cuz atm....we are missing 1-2 mats from each resource.  The farmhouse is nothing more than a glorious claim FLAG!.....We already have a resource pool!  Also stop lying too the community too get them back playing the game!  You said a "New World (order) map!  You said Tradewind routes!  Sofar we've seen none of that!  You also need too fire that Admin running your Discord!  We are testers in your game!  When we find things missing/labeled wrong/or bugs/game breaking stuff( not having all 6 of the resources for mythic mats)....we are required too report them!  But every time someone does....that Admin deletes the post and most likely does not report the bug/problem to the Dev Team!  Saying we need more info!  With the old Dev Team...we had a "fix" almost everyday!!  This team has only done 2 fixs so far in the first week....first fix worked.....2nd fix was about the resources  FAILED miserably!  And so far that is it!  No more fixes!  What are you guys doing over there!  If you have a job.....DO IT!  Don't 1/2 ass it like you are doing now!  I love this game....I would hate too see Devs ruin it!  And PLZ for the love of god!,   start listening too the player community for once!  I have seen GENIUS ideas posted about game mechanics and such!  But you just keep steering the game in the opposite direction!  Down the drain!  What do you all think guys??  I mean am I wrong???  I don't think so

 

Kind of sounds like laziness. As it is people breed 100’s of tames everyday. If you want the times reduce so you can breed as well and not have to buy one from someone that is just not going to happen. I would suggest either buying tames from people or not being lazy. Either one with help you out a lot.

they both seem to have been done with paperboard honestly, i respect their effort but the result is far from what it could be (not their fault tho)

also do they even play actively? i mean i am ok with people enjoying building, but i would like to see more "ships art" than "building art"

Very true. If you want to see good building art from a game that is far superior to atlas you would look at Conan exiles builds. Conan is for base building. Let’s hope that atlas at some point becomes ship building. Oh yeah and not the stupid turtle shell ships either. Actual ships that look nice

There are tons of criticism, whining, anger etc, here on forum. So I was thinking of creating one positive thread here. 

I just wanna show you couple pictures I took in my adventures. And If you saw something interesting (cool, impressive, epic etc) in your adventures and took picture of it too - post one here.

So check it out, whoever was the creator of those "bases" castles, he did really impressive job, don't you think?

Unfortunately that tall tower you have in the background is far from cool and that is one of the problems a lot of players have with the game. The tower offers no artistic value and is an eye sore that ruins the view and creates unneeded lag.

having said that, the bottom picture shows some creativity went into it and it looks pretty good.

i would definitely recommend getting rid of the picture on top because I doubt anyone is going to compliment you on building a tower that it not only very simple to build but dull and hideous.
