At this point im convinced that pve'rs just wana wreck this game

They shouldn't ness with the ability to put the planks on yourself because that is what allows some of the armore ships. also a lot of armore sloop designs are just used for fighting sods.. and ...just one final point here....and i really want you to consider my pov for a moment because i disagree that armore sloops = bad but i see where you are coming from so ...my point is...you think armore sloops are bad and "not realistic" or "piratey" enough. in a game where you can ride a GIANT CRAB WITH CANONS ON IT... But you think armored sloops...literally just some angled wooden armor is too much? If they remove the systems that let someone make an armored sloop this game is 100% dead. You have to put the armor on before the planks...specialty ships are fine but dont mess with the normal ships ffs.

im new. i dont have a hundred hours yet and i started playing like 3 weeks ago or so and not many people have been on NA cause they were convinced wipe was soon so i haven't been able to find a mega company :[. iv been looking for experienced players on pvp to play with though. i haven't found a company that deep into the game yet where one person does x skill and another does that. mostly the companys i ran into and played with have been small groups of casuals (that aren't aware that they are in fact casuals) they think they know whats up but they have inactive people dont talk on discord or make plans dont try to land grab and they are all spread out to different lawless islands instead of all being in one spot and trying to grab as much of 1 lawless and then expanding to real land. i didn't even know discoveries raised your max lvl. kind of a weird mechanic. course that can be played around if you have a company that is willing to send groups of people on treasure hunts together that are prepared with a decent ship. can get some discoveries from other lawless and hopefully not get gunned down by puckles, but like i said they are too casual and socially inept to do that. they all just do their own thing. and im not tryin to lead i mean i didnt even know discoveries raised max lvl cap..i jus tthink the idea of a group going out to dive or treasure hunt is rewarding enough but their is actually a concrete reward for your lvl cap. casual company = death.

i can understand not wanting to stress about having your precisely created structures bombarded. they might even enjoy pvp in other games where it isn't your time getting destroyed.

Oh that 1k takes into account eu and pve as well as unofficial? Well. Idk. Wipes gonna be interesting

i play on NA pvp. curious what do you mean by "clusters"? also to follow up on my point about solos being effed so join a company of 100 etc: its not necessarily about hitting a certain number. could be 50. could be 20 (good luck finding 10 people are are gonna no life with you) the point is to find a company that has however many people but that their is at least around 5-10 on daily. i mean if you cant even field 5 people daily :/....just dont make any powerful company mad and it should be fine. but i mean its fun to do group activities. even just whailing or treasure hunt diving w/e. companys are important. i feel bad for solos. i said all that because another player said it was frustrating to get offline raided or sometimes he has to do things irl and he has no control over that. so my advice was to be in an active company or one with large numbers just someone to make sure the crews paid farms running deter raids. i'll never understand people that play unofficial. i want the real game with the real hardcore players. im sure il never see a hydra might mess around with single player one day just to see the pve stuff but would never actually play multiplayer unofficial. to each their own. maybe they like showing off complex structure builds. making art sort of.

Oh but maybe you did do all that and did find a company and it even whent well for awhile....now its mostly inactive players..your leaders are useless and half inactive..no one talks on discord they have no plans for land or working together and they are spread out over the map and they just dont communicate at all and have no goal...now all the stuff is the companys -_-. for this i have no good advice :[

casuals join...get wrecked by companys, get mad and leave *shrugs*. they dont' have time to search reddit and forums and discord and steam and w/e else for an established company or make their own (of course they shouldnt make their own serious company cause they dont know ish about da game make one with yourself and merge) it seems to me this game is about who you know. if you have bad social skills your toast gg. i guess they think their gonna jump on and 360 carbine people? :'D or its non stop action? Lol go chop wood for like an hour thatd be a big help thx. Yay....pirates :3 And they probably think they are above chopping wood for someone else for an hour but it really is helpful :/. i mean if your being treated like ish by your ompany then yah you are above that but again. discord. gotta find a company that has at least leaders that aren't low iq. call it charisma if you want.

Yah devoting resorces to hats on bears is dumb i can agree with that. i don't agree that getting offline raided is a bad thing. destroying other peoples stuff is a pretty big feature of the game. also yah if you take a 2 week break stuff happens when your gone. basically to counter that you need to be in a company of like 100 people...or however many people it takes to make sure their is always like 10 people on. that's the social aspect of this game. and dont take this as me saying its wrong to take a 2 week break by all means you do what you have to do in real life. the only other thing i would disagree on is the time sink as well. i mean...do you want to play classic wow but everybody is instant 60? runescape but everyone has 99 stats on char creation? their is always unofficial servers for that. their will always be people who spend more time playing than you and some who spend less. depending on how you look at it you can laugh at both when encountered. in defense of the claim system: i think that arguments can be made for the way it was before and the way it is now. It's hard to decide what the philosophy should be on that issue. you could still find a tiny sliver of land to lay a claim tower but its gonna be a bad spot. if its the other way you could make the argument its even worse. someone could just start building literally right next to you and now you're really in for a war. offline raiding. grinding. destroying structures etc: is the whole appeal of the game for some people (me included) and large companys made up of people with social skills who don't blow up and have tempers and who aren't socially durrrrrrrrrr will always be playing the real game and companys with inactive players: ragers, social morons, casuals, bad leaders etc will always be weak and i think that's the way it's meant to be. if you don't like having your stuff destroyed find some cool people to pve with and just roleplay. build ships that are beautiful with complex deck layouts and stuff. basically if you try to play this game solo your gonna have a bad time. i guess you could rp as a savage maniac who jumps out of the bushes with a spear and just be a forest hermit. obviously i agree that technical problems are always bad though and i think going for mass appeal isnt a good idea. This game was meant to be brutal learn to make friends...or else :3

so about the player numbers. to be fair do you really think this game could ever have mass appeal? (without making it carebear kid mode) they would have to put in the ability to buy power so that bads could just throw money at it instead of developing some social skills or just becoming knowledgeable. even then it still probably wouldnt have mainstream appeal. right? im sure the player counts will jump up but it's not like they're going to be smashing the charts, and i hope they never view having a low or a high player count as ultimate success because they may start making odd decisions like having stupid sea of thieves esque gun skins or just absurdly stupid looking flavor skins for sale. imagine them selling wow like microtransactions on full release. fully leveled tames or blueprints...gold...(shudder). i dont think that would even help player counts tbh it would destroy the loyalists. but you get the idea. the game is too time consuming; social, and complicated for most gamers to enjoy imo. think about that..this game take cooperation with more than 3 other people over long periods of time to become powerful. people have meltdowns on overwatch or dota or league on a team of 5 in matches that last a few minutes. theirs a reason this niche game has a low player count because most gamers are scrubs X _ X I doubt this game will ever have a "high" player count. Here's hoping tho (dont even bring up ark. those people think dinosaurs are cool) :{}. . .

what? you found a way to utilize your crew in a helpful and precise manner?! oh they patched it? PHEW good good your crew is supposed to be hitting fish not helping you fight. what are you some try hard? 1 npc manning more than one canon?? having your crew go to different places on your ship mid combat is broken. luckily most of the player base never noticed this was possible :{}. . you should really stop trying to find exploits like that. if you find another way to make the crew useful please let everyone know asap so the devs can patch it.

No your wrong. We need more powerful tames. Tames are why people play atlas.

the game was starting to seem a bit boring. not like ark in some ways. im glad they are focusing on strange and exotic animals to tame and level.. my little sister really loves that aspect of the game. the taming the breeding and colors. yah she has no interest in trying to block and counter attack with a sword or anything so this is great i thought they were gonna make the mistake of being too different from ark but luckily they are bringing in more of the things that made ark great and not cheesy at all...like tames. Tames everywhere screw wverything else more tames please more hats for tames as well. I would hate to just have some boring sword fight naw..i want his tame and my tame flailing about even if its just a 1v1. I want to put boots and a cowboy hat on my tiger. I want expertly done breeding animations. I want an age system for pets. You should have to trim your pets hair. I think the pet system should really be fully explored. You're just scratching the surface of the possibilities of tames. So get this...here's my million dollar idea devs....DRAGONS...that are slightly easier to get BUT these cant fly..AND you could like go in their mouth...to..BREATHE UNDERWATER! Bio submarines! And they can wear hats and put guns on them PEWPEW! Wingless dragons! Its such a great idea. Even better idea! what if you could craft these balls right..like call them capture balls and of course their would be different strength capture balls but youd have to be the tamiest of tamers to make the good ones..a true beast master and it could like...tame any tame..50% or something idk. w/e more tame stuff please. Those new ship rails look pretty nice.

On second thought. Na. Playing solo atlas is terrible. Its only slighly better than being in an inactive joke company.

I don't want to be in a company that doesn't work together and communicate using voice chat. looking for a company that only plays pvp NA official server. you know...the real game. just give me some orders. il build all the ship decks and planks and sails put all the supplies on there. il get everything ready I just want to be with a player crew that talks and works together. npc crew hires on a ship is boring. they're ok for puckle defense but lets raid some claimable land or take over a whole lawless island. il make all the lawless claim towers. il give you all the gold from maps or flotsam w/e I just want to be part of a team that ENJOYS communicating with VOICE CHAT. tired of these antisocial players that are just solo 99% of the time.

This games been out for 2 years. And the **** just blows up half the time. 2 years >:D

Crossplay is kind of important for player counts though. at the very least its someone for you to style on... reliable buffer overflow definetly needs to go away forever though. isn't it funny how the most inovative and interesting ideas come from pc games...yet..the **** only works half the time. any interesting niche type of game on pc i just always expect it to MAYBE work half the time.

And how xbox players are gonna get scamd So. Wtf is a buffer? Is it like a dam? a levy perhaps? some sort of ditch? caucking gel maybe? well what ever it is it is reliably over****ing flowing. and i guess that means i can take my 30$ and shove it up my *** (if i still had 30$) so i guess i'll use something else thats even more unpleasant.) so..in conclusion. if this has anything to do witt: the number of objects placed; structured built; items collectd, etc etc. that would be THE scummiest thing ever. (random intern programmer) "uh boss what if the xbox pleabs build like 2-3 boats and create some sort of compound or villa to store a LOT of materials? wont that cause A RELIABLE BUFFER OVER FLOW! O_0 " (scummy 80's guy) HA xbox player will never even get off of tutorial island! :'D !" "now get back to work!" (walks away to start hitting on qt3.14 millenial intern while spinning the keys to his mercedes around his finger) and that's my atlas experience. buffer **** is getting everywhere. All that being said. I love this game. A lot of people do. Thats why it needs harsh criticisms...games like p2w wow and game plays itsels shawow legends (or w/e its called) exits..their are so many games that are just bad...they run perfectly and are technically sound but they are just...boring..carebear uninteresting shallow badness. this game is a great idea with servers that explode and a buffer that gets blown up apparently. i dont care about some framedrops here and their..or lag..i just want the game to run without being forced out for 12 hours or days or w/e at a time for no discernable reason....fix the buffer problem >< A buffer overflow happens when a program either tries to place data in a memory area past the buffer, or attempts to put more data in a buffer than it can hold. Writing data beyond an allocated memory block’s bounds can crash the program, corrupt data, or allow an attacker to execute malicious code.

How can devs design games in a way that changes nothing or takes nothing away from their vision of what the games potential is while removing some of the hoops to grouping up? i wonder. like can you join a clan get kicked then lose all your stuff? i have no idea. if that did happen i would imagine that i probably wouldnt join another thing. do i need teemspeak or discord? how tf can i be apart of a thing? no matter. i will now brutally harvest this turtle.
