For weeks huh?

By the time I hit level 50 (currently 40) my character should be about 100 years old.

Gold as upkeep is a good idea. However, it would have to be fairly inexpensive. There's simply not enough gold out there. Plus you have to keep your workers working. On a galleon that could get pretty expensive.

Nothing. Not even an acknowledgement.

I think they need to nerf em down super low. Let everyone dig their heels into the game and then bring them slowly up.

It's a good thing I specifically said PVE and didn't comment in the PVP forums.

Considering this is early access I would disagree with a reset. However, something needs to be done asap to protect peoples hard earned work. If they don't, nobody will be here anyway so claims will be available everywhere.

No I'm talking about going to work and a player traines 20 animals to your boat and parks himself on it until your boat is dead. So you come home to nothing. There needs to be a solution. Now, not later.

You don't have much vision do you? My suggestions weren't about me, me, me, me, me, me. They were about the game as a whole. The game keeps destroying everyones hard earned and very time consuming efforts. You don't understand how that will impact the game a whole. They're setting themselves up for failure with the current system. Instead of complaining about it I offered a solution. Thanks for the insult tho. Very classy.

They will have very low player retention if this continues. Players can grief way to easily. The game world destroys all of you hard work. When everything is gone you're sent multiple zones away to start from scratch. Assuming that you had a claim to being with, it probably won't be there when you return. Too many players have too many claims. Animals are too OP (tigers, lions, wolves, etc.). Everything is against the player. It's too much. There has to be time versus reward. If I was the head honcho I would.... (PVE suggestions) 1. One claim per person, per region. 2. Make structures built on claims indestructible. They rot over a period of 60 days but players can repair to reset. 3. Make taming much easier and more common. 4. Put a revive point in each area that cannot be walled off by players. 5. Make ships indestructible, sort of. When the ship dies a player need only return to or build a dock to summon it back from death. 6. Revamp the entire guild system. 7. Make every craftable flagged to the player, not their last name or guild affiliation. Toggle option for "company" use. 8. Make levels scale stats. Punching a level 1 snake at level 50 should mean something. 9. Make freeports level 15 cap instead of 8. 10. Build in a trade window for players wanting to trade with other players. 11. Revamp character creation to allow for more customization. Do some or all of these and you will see a lot more people stay with the game. Don't and you'll have less than 1000 players in a month.

My only interests in ATLAS are... 1. Build 2. Tame 3. Explore this awesome map on a big ass ship I'm sick of losing all of my hard work to animals and players. Maybe I'll come back one day when I can private server cheat and customize it to my preferred game play.

It no longer matters. I don't have the drive to start again, for the fourth time. I'll check in on the forums every few months to see if things improve. Bye guys. Good luck.

This is getting old already. I've played sun up till sun down since the game launched. I have nothing. Literally. Nothing.

+1 on the two claims per person.

Let's hope they ban accounts that do this.

Devs need to eliminate stuff like this. Greifers will ruin the game for most.

Nope. For some reason they have everything flagged to your guild name and not the player. Hopefully they learn about it and fix it.

That's right. Your latest build allows players on the PVE server to walk up to any shipyard and select an option to destroy it.

I want a claim. I want to build. I want my construction and time spent to be preserved. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. Devs, please take out ALL PVP mechanics of any kind. If a player can grief you, remove it. Please.

Same here. Stupid mechanic. Why is stuff flagged to the guild instead of to the player?

They could make the following changes for the better.. 1. Two claims maximum, per player. This will encourage guild recruitment. 2. Flag the claim, and all contents within it, the players. Have it decay over 30 days (repairable). This will encourage logging in. 3. Boats should be forever. This is a water based game. Whoever starts it, keeps it. Have it decay over 60 days (repairable). Reward versus effort. If we are constantly losing the effort, we no longer have player retention.

Here's another problem.... If you joined a guild, and built yourself a boat or house, they can kick you and keep all of your hard work. It's bound to the guild, not the player.

I did not know that. Thanks. You da man.

Oh. How is anybody supposed to know that? Lol. Thanks.

Everyones hard work was lost. Sucks.
