Nope, it was said at the first livestream they did when they still cared about the development. But please, do explain to me how the people that were screaming that the devs are stupid and that the game won’t be anything at the very start of the game when it was still being developed were smarter than we are right now after we haven’t got a word from a community manager or a talkative update in more than 6 months? 

Because you already made the mistake of saying they cared to begin with. Others that have known about them since the beginning of ark tried to give a warning and they were not listened to. It was very easy to see what was going to happen. Hence why we were smarter. When didn’t need to get ignored/abandoned for months to know what would happen lmao. 
 

gotta love the idiots that say “well you don’t know yet” nah, we knew. Some people just see it coming before others. Not everyone is equal.

How exactly are they smarter? When the game launched and the player population was 300% more than what the devs were expecting, the server problems were normal. Exactly like finding out what claiming system to use and what not.

You can’t compare them in the slightest so maybe you should keep the thought of who’s smarter here to yourself lol. 

Nah, they claimed that there could be 40k on every cluster which purely based on slots per server each cluster could only hold 33,750 so they pretty much lied on that. They were complete idiots and they weren't the only ones lol.

so the game should have been able to hold 160k by their count and there was barely over 50k and they couldn’t even handle that. So I am not sure if you are getting the 300% comment from another lied they told or you are just really bad at guessing. This company preys on the stupid and they have done a very good job at it. Smh.

Don’t quote me as if I’m some new kid on the block, I’ve been here all along listening to the shit of the community because the devs were ‘failing this game’ - well, now that they’re actually are, I will damn sure open my mouth about it. 

You probably just should have listened to the others from the beginning then. You tried to call them out before and know he was calling you out now. You sound just like the others did back then when you tried to dismiss what they were saying. The only thing that has changed is that those people were smarter than you because they saw it coming a lot sooner than you did.

I honestly feel like there's not enough sea monsters but there should be.

 

Sure we have the giant crabs and the mermaids but that's really it, I honestly hope we get more variety in the sea life in the future.

 

Something like a Charybdis inspired sea monster would be pretty cool or grotesque deep sea dwelling humanoids kind of like in that movie underwater would also be very cool.

 

Maybe have ocean sea monster bosses similarly to the Hydras and Drakes on land and etc, instead of a power island maybe you could go deep down into the depths to fight your way through a sunken city type of place and end up encountering a powerful sea monster to basically act as a aquatic power island. 

 

Also maybe a giant species of sea monster that just randomly patrols the map attacking any boats it finds as a threat, maybe it Could be nocturnal appearing near the surface at night only to retreat into the depths during the day which would change the attitude towards what times you want to set sail and really add a interesting dynamic to sailing the oceans and it could function as this fearful and intimidating creature that's ruthless and powerful, basically a aquatic giga from ark in that it's extremely powerful but extremely rewarding to take down or possibly tame.

No they won’t be doing that. Even if they did sea monsters would be so far down on the list that it would be at least a year and a half to two years. If you don’t mind waiting that long then kudos but if you don’t want to wait then you are simply out of luck.

They are literally impossible to tame without being hit nowadays I used to be sweet taming them a while ago but now they kill you easily

THE fact that they also spin too while down is just stupid and has been a big tame breaking glitch since day 1

Just buy one. They will be for sale within a day. Just do maps for a couple days and you will have the money to buy one. Best advice you can get.

I left my character on a grid in the j series yesterday. I encountered an error when I tried to join the game. I thought it would be an update and decided to wait. I thought No one was connecting to the game. and I realized that only my grid is offline. I have not been able to connect to the game for the last 10 hours. Second day after wipe, everyone can connect to the game, some grids cannot connect. Is this fair?  So they very amateurs I can't even get information. Ticket, discord, twitter, facebook....

Looks like you tried to hide what number you were on and now everyone knows you live on j2 we are all coming for you now once the server comes back up. That will teach you a lesson to come here lmao

Some preliminary questions. Should I build a ship or a land base, is a ship even a base? Should I tame animals, like is it as important as in ark to do so? Are animals good harvesters?

Best tip I can give is that you are making a very bad decision to begin with. If you do happen to decide to be stupid, then yes I feel the need to help you out and deter you as much as I can. Ark was just a finger in the butt for you. Guess what atlas is? Yeah I can’t tell you that because I would like to stay on the forums. 
 

it is important to remember that finger though. Very important

Guess what hartsia? You made me agree with Percy over here. That is never a good thing. 

worst off is you thought they were doing a good job. I mean we’re you doing the whole 60’s Woodstock crap where anything is good and you don’t care because of all the drugs. Or are you all sjw to the point of not matter how much someone sucks they deserve to be praised as they did something monumental? 
 

please give me more info.

10 person Conan server ballpark $10 a mo retail cost...

Take your proposition many levels further if you suspect its a ROI issue... 

 

Jus sayin i could make the game a smash hit w exponential ROI...

Since I am on my mo ole I wasn’t able to get a true count because the nitrado website is all messed up for mobile but when I get to my laptop I’ll look it up. You can basically configure your rental how you want it and the official servers have a 150 slot limit so I want to figure out the cost of 1 server that holds 150 people per month

clearly cutting 60% of an alpha game in production is the best way to add content!

but they added cats that fish for you...that for some reason will not eat the fish they catch and starve to death.

Yeah that always pissed me off. It’s like come on kitties I get you are loyal and don’t want to eat my fish but I need you alive and thieves instead of dead and loyal. Smh

Well when you had 4 clusters of 15x15 at 225 servers per cluster you had 900 servers for people.

now you got rid of 1 full cluster which was 225 servers and melded pve together. But also, of those 3 remaining clusters you dropped the size to 11x11 effectively getting rid of 104 servers per cluster for a whopping total of 534 servers less than what you had.

so when you look at it the combined total before was 900 but now the is only 363 so in reality you came pretty close to getting rid of 2/3 of the whole game. Even though it isn’t exact we will just call it getting rid of 60% of the game.

not sure if you guys(the community) thought about it yet or just don’t care but regardless of bugs and other complaints people have these guys did literally just take away 60% of your game from you. After that we can talk about the new resource bugs and many others, but my main point was above.

to the devs, I gotta hand it to you. You are bold. You will never hear me say you don’t take risks.

edit: I have never rented a server so I have no clue on the cost. If someone else is able to figure that out I’ll include it in the post with a “courtesy of” to that person.

It isn't the resource rates that kill the game it's the fact you can literally do endgame stuff on day 1 like people collecting powerstones ffs and getting max level on day 1 it shouldn't even be remotely possible they should of wiped after stuff like that got addressed now by the end of the week I can guarantee that all bigger tribes will have full mythical ships etc and max lvl characters 

To be honest all of this has actually got me nostalgic for world of Warcraft again. I might have to get it again but start from scratch and not even use my old account. That was the good kind of grinding.

too bad they weren’t smart enough to use some of those mechanics such as real quests and so forth. Smh these guys just suck.

A lot still it's a joke I'm not going to 100+ Islands to level up get rid of that crap mechanic

Yeah the discovery points were very stupid. And even if they weren’t stupid back then, they very much are stupid right now for the fourth time. I won’t be bothering with it either

Lol updates been out lil over a day and everyones crying. No wonder the player base is so toxic. You ppl literally cry iver EVERYTHING!!!!

Spamming the forums with pointless and non sensible rage make zero sense.

Ive literally watched the forums be raided by crying children for over a year. Yet you are STILL here so grow the hell up. 

You ALREADY know how the games going to progress. Post your dam bugs and complaints in a manner beffiting of a mature human being and POSSIBLY  just POSSIBLY the community devs might be willing to update you. If i was the developer id give 2 fucks abt this community.  All you have done is bi#%h and moan for over a year bashing the very company creating the game YOUR crybaby a$$ ppl are playing.

God help me im surrounded by stupid!

I think you need a nap dude.

You’ve single-handedly managed to screw over the community (probably one last time). I mean I’ve got to hand it to you, it was a great troll. 

Making the community believe that you’ve actually implemented new content with a ‘new map’ which is the old map, just rearranged - with ARK berries in it though.

This update once again made us 1 step closer to the complete downfall of this game, or what’s left of it. I sincerely hope that Jat and Dollie can still look themselves in the eyes in a mirror since they’re the ones threw Atlas in the toilet and then flushed a few times.

For everyone enjoying the game: good. But please, do not get your hopes up. I’ve defended this games for months on end because I believed this was a game that could last a decade - sadly I was wrong. Some new ‘devs’ and a community manager won’t change that. 

Yeah I tried to tell you and many others that a long time ago.

I just logged out and there were 80 online in 1 zone..

The atmosphere in there was a bit... questionable.. people being idiots for the sake of it, killing tames while others were taming them for lols and giving each other grief even for asking questions. Guessing the kids came out of hiding. But mixing 2 regions into a smaller map is going to have people living on top of each other. And that's going to put people's backs up over resources and space etc.

People were spamming foundations all over beach fronts which I get if you want to expand to that point and reserve your land until you build on it but sometimes spamming way beyond what you'd need and where it clearly isn't necessary.

Bugs have turned up which didn't exist before like farming fibre for instance. Resources seem strangely spread out. Like in some temporate zones there are strawberry's EVERYWHERE but not much of anything else. 

Seems this game just took a really big step backwards. 

 

That’s all there is left is grieving. And to be honest I don’t blame the players for grieving, I blame the devs. You literally wipe all progress made and then add a new map with no new actual content. Can you blame them for grieving?

they have nothing left since not only have they done everything in game(3 times for some) and now they are starting again with grieving being the only new and fun thing to do.

i actually applaud the grievers right now. Good job for you guys. At least you are still trying to have fun. If the others can’t handle it that is on them. Next time some yells at you for killing their in progress 30 perfect tame tell them “the devs told me to do it”. Let’s make that phrase a trademark here at atlas.

the massive amount of resources the insane amount of resources where you get so much iron from a single rock that you cant even move has killed this game before it even had a chance to relaunch with this new map

a huge part of survival games is resource farming and raiding for resources but they have been made almost worthless........

you have ruined a massive part of the game play by making the resource rates far to high its clear none of the dev's play this game

its a shame really i was hoping it would grow and become popular

there is a reason other survival games like Rust with 10x resource servers are never the most popular server types 

this is just annoying o well watch the game lose players at a extremely high rate again 

To be honest they were going to lose numbers regardless of what you were complaining about(I do agree with you though). This update was doomed when they just added a new map and used that as an excuse to wipe everyone again lol

oh there is less discovery points now? Yeah no shit you got rid of 104 servers I would be pissed if there were still the same amount of discovery points l so.

We have new devs but same mistakes, i wont critize features that have nothing to do with the map rework as that is the only thing they have reworked, but only 1 day has passed and in the PVE server EVERYTHING that is not lawless is owned, and everything that is lawless is spamed with fundations, so why are we still applying the same set up of PVP in the PVE servers? we suffered from heavy griefing before and they havent learnt from that yet, whats the point of having entire islands owned by 1 person while other people dont have where to settle??? how does that make any sense???

Kind of makes you wonder if they are new devs or just went all witness protection on is hi my name is chismebeard a.k.a. Dollie and so forth. Even had a different back story and everything.

Nice job breaking it, heroes.

 

Server's been up for like 8 hours and mega corps already own chunks of the PvE map with the idea of selling off islands once people have got for like 30-100k a piece. Some zones have 1 company owning all islands.

Yep. They literally the bed. I knew it. All they did was make a new map that isn’t really that different. Megas will always be Megas(losers), but I am starting to think they just used this map as an excuse to give the Megas something to do aka destroy all the new companies. 
 

I won’t even bother with the game this time around or as they call it “season”. Pretty sad when they say season but what they really mean is we wiped you again. Season 4 everyone

I decided to jump on and give it ago on PvE, got to a big island on lawless and the spam already is unbelievable. Could not even put a shipyard down, sailed around and all blocked. I just don't know if I have the motivation anymore to sail island to island.

Soon as I entered the grid chat comes up with "why are you blocking my path?" "it's not your path, we build where we want" "why do you have to spam like this?" it was all just deja vu for me.  I think with them forcing NA onto a smaller map with EU is just going to get worse, I hope I'm wrong but from what I seen I'm not hopeful. They did say it would bring more conflict and battles, not wrong there.

Yeah just sold me on not coming back lol thank you for going through that so I don’t have to. You have my gratitude.

Sorry been playing some of the games that made billions taking a break because i was so pissed off that tons gameplay got wiped...

Soooo.... Is it better?

Anything significant changed that an experienced player would notice besides the things listed in the notes?

Any reason to sink 100s of hours into this product and would i have fun doing so?

Is it still claiming its a pre release product?

Maybe ill build a brig an take a cruise....  dunno if i can tho... I literally had an entire island built up for tons of people to use as a launching pad showcasing some amazing, beautiful and fun things to do. I put ALOT of thought into it on the prospect of new dlc and popularity rebounding and they flushed it all.... Correct?

Let me put it another way.... 80% of jobs are filled via referral. Period. Prior to the wipe i was referring customers here.. Now im obviously not... Should i?

Nope. Same  map just smaller. And no fiber 

Don’t get my wrong, I did noticed they put a cute little ring of island in the center but the powerstones are still spread out. 
 

they went from a 15x15 grid to an 11x11 grid. You guys realize they just cut the crust of a piece of bread right? 
 

no wonder there is less discovery points, you cut out 104 servers so of course there is less discovery points. I gotta hand it to you guys, you can really word things well. Bad people but good talkers. I see a career in politics for you guys.

Because that is what they always do. There will actually be a message in the server you are playing on and it will give a 10 mo Ute warning of when servers are going down. How new are you?
