George of the jungle

And pvp already has 100 people in golden age. The Megas are going to have those platform crabs with cannons in a few more hours probably. I bet the first thing they do is go to the 8 true lawless and start wiping everyone lol

Pretty sure you won’t see any communication at any point.

Rust is also a game where you lose everything every month anyway. Completely different game. Atlas is a failure and almost considered the worst game in all of steam. funny how both games you can lose everything offline yet one is on of the top games and one is one of the worst games. Hmmmm

I wouldn’t bother with it without offline raid protection though. I like player vs play not player vs base. That alone is enough reason this game is 71 on the bottom 100 list of steam charts. no game is worth playing when you can lose everything when you aren’t even playing. all the other stuff sounds good though.

Hell since there are way more people on Unofficials I might actually do that. Player counts on official servers are pathetic.

No, they will not be working on blueprint at anytime in the near future. Well luckily there aren’t that many people playing anymore but you probably will have at least 100 people racing you for the two little spots. Good luck. If you are pvp a platform crab will go there soon and destroy everything on the island though They can’t even get the update out. Maybe next year or something

Wow that really shows how dead official severs are. So even with 1000 people that really only means about 400 is on official(including PTR) and the other 600 are on unofficial. and there are more players on pve than both pvp servers combined. thabks for the website. This will definitely help on showing where resources are exactly and not just total player counts

The really sad part is the patch notes are already done and they said they weren’t releasing those till later either

Yeah I doubt they will even release the patch notes by 7 lol

Well we all knew the update would be delayed and I really wanted to start a thread so people could bet on it. anyways, you can’t just say delayed now because it already is. Question is now how delayed will it be? now taking bets. people are already complaining they took time off work lmao

Actually I went ahead and did the math just to see lol it is actually only .254 players per server so technically they would have to get rid of 3000 out of the 4000 servers just to have 1 full player on each server.

Not to nit pick but the average is actually only 1018. The 1900 you are looking at isn’t the peak for the day, it is actually the highest peak player count at anytime for the entire month. Just some useless info for you lol i wonder what the math would be will that? Lol

I get you for the most part as far as EA goes but at the same time this company also made ark(let’s not bother arguing this because it isn’t the point). Ark is a perfect example of how EA numbers are a pretty good indicator of success. Through the it’s entirety you would see where decisions they made were bad and also good. One important thing is they were able to maintain a pretty normal playerbase the entire time regardless of highs and lows. atlas has shown a pretty good indicator of bad decisions throughout. There has been a steady decrease over the past two years. I don’t call the initial influx after the wipe as an increase because shortly after they go back down and further down than before. the part I agree on is that it is possible that if the game ever releases(not likely or at least not likely anytime soon) we have no clue if suddenly there is a huge amount of people that want to play it purely because it isn’t EA. However, using ark as an example again a lot of people thought numbers would sky rocket the minute release happened. I was there the exact day it did and there wasn’t an increase or decrease. when there is a short EA period there is a good chance that player counts will increase because of hype generated, but once you get to the point of elongated EA it comes down to the “everyone knows about it and whoever was going to play it has played it” factor. Atlas is in the area in my opinion. as far as tames go I loved ark and I love the tames in atlas but that is neither here nor there.

Yeah pretty much. Your ship is gone bro and the update hasn’t even started yet lol theu just made it to where being on land is even more important now lol

What source? Steam charts? Yeah the info is all there. Numbers have been slowly but consistently lowering. Last wipe the initial was 2100 and only got up to 2900 so even if(which it won’t) just as many people came back it would be within the range I said. It’s a very well educated guess and anyone that disagrees is simply wrong unless they have more evidence that numbers would go above it. people didn’t just leave because the wipe was coming. They were leaving for 3 months before hand. I definitely disagree every season is more engaging, unless of course you mean more land based gameplay then sure. these guys really haven’t been doing a good job at all. Hooray for ark imported platform saddles. That is going to make raiding a lot easier especially for the bigger groups.

What? You realize after every wipe only a fraction of the people that left come back right? And besides that, the initial influx every wipe has gotten smaller and smaller. There is a definite east to see trend going on. Probably won’t get above 2500-3000 players after the wipe and it will go down to below 1k this time. they are wiping because of programming, they are wiping because they are making another new map that nobody asked for. Just like the first time they changed it and nobody asked for it. The only content they are really making is a platform saddle that is imported from ark. They didn’t really put in any hard work at all.

To be honest they weren’t going to do any of it from the beginning. We have 2 years of nothing as proof. The tome to coddle is done. They need a reality check after two years.

Are you retarded? Henry Ford made a quality product. You have turned the car into the horse drawn carriage and now there is horse crap all over the place.

That well never happen. Time to get used to more tames and more land combat. Forget about your ships, this is ark after all.

Yeah the 1k is na pvp/eu pvp/pve/Unofficial but yeah you will see numbers go up but very quickly go down. Atlas is also getting old so it will be like Conan really soon. It didn’t just fail it also got old and boring. I am hoping Microsoft QA stops them from the 28th release. If it can go till the 1st the 1k will forever be written in stone lol

Yeah I get you but with a few Megas at a couple hundred that is already half the playerbase. The rest are on pve and Unofficials. That 1k players is spread throughout all 3 clusters as well as unofficials(not sure if you knew that or not). So even if it went to 3k people that would still be at most 800 per cluster plus Unofficials and I think Unofficials are actually more popular now.

Yeah but to be honest this low of a player count is pretty pathetic. I have a feeling this update will rank and even though there is an initial influx it will go down faster than before. if you check steam charts every single time there is a wipe you get an influx and then it goes down again. The important thing to notice is that every wipe the influx is always only a fraction. That is why numbers continue to go down regardless of a wipe. I mean they did fail pretty badly Yeah these guys simply don’t fix bugs. Even when they did release ark officially they still didn’t fix the bugs before hand lol

Yeah because now with crossplay it’s all about getting it to pass Microsoft QA and these guys aren’t good at their job so...

Tames will always be the biggest thing about atlas. I am surprised people fell for that. Everyone should have seen right through that. You thought ships were important? Nope. Only tames.
