Ok so I have 1 gripe right now lol.

grappling hooks.

they should not automatically let go of you hit a little lip or sometimes even randomly let go.

distance and height are fine and all of that but when you are in the middle of climbing and you just let go? Nah man, I am not suicidal.

make it to where you only let go when you physically let it go yourself and you guys will be fine

So, you finally got your Xbox copy. I wonder if you like the game still this much in, let's say, 3 months. Me, pc player since day 1, love this game. Up to the end all alliances quit the game and my members ran away;

-buildingbug (still ridiculous, the thread gave alot of players hope, but even devs/co-owners are not having the respect to respond to it anymore. Wipe incoming)

-STILL NO new ship (designs)

-bonusses on bps not working

-tames falling thru foundations etc. And only they moved AFTER destroying loads of those

-Captainhat skin for ALL WHO LOVE and helped out to get this game to a... ye, a what? (where the frack is it?)

-Promisses no wipe, yet wipes are still incoming

This, matey, this should've been fixed by now. After almost 1 year since EA release. And yes, early acces, I know. But come on, this is becoming one big joke.

From thousands of players on a daily base, to hundreds weekly. Doesnt that say enuf?

I logged in after the wipe, made a very high stone wall. Broke down a ceiling, looked behind me and see the wall broken down. The bottom 10 hight where gone, rest above was still hanging there.

"Bugs not fixed, cya after the next wipe" And logged off.

I hate this too... last Days a lot of Cellings are gone, lost the half of my Stuff and Buildings...

So one Guy in this Forum means "Check the End of the Pillar´s" sometime it looks right but you can Snap an another one in the Ground...

I checkt all Pillars and found 17 where i can Snap one under the Ground. Now it is better but...  Yesterday i lost Stairs and a Wall near to Foundations.

i dont understand this...

 

Dont try to understand. Trust me, not worth it. Make a little spot somewhere as "home", make a Galleon and start living on that. 

Take it from this ol' foolish pirate matey.

Im a really patient Person And i Totally fine that some stuff will take a while Till the they are fixed but that bug is Game Breaking for PVP And annoying for PVE And should have been fixed Long Time ago

Xbox players got new money. Waaaaaay more important. We tried for 6 months to get this under the attention. As soon as the wipe kicked in, we build a foundation with 30 high walls. Turn around, break down 1 ceiling, poof. Half of it dissapeared. The bottom half. So, looking at a flying wall, prox 10 high from the ground, we decided to come and look after the next wipe. 

No matter with GS says, it will come again. And knowing the ARKlogic a bit, they will not even touch this untill all platforms have paid for the game AND (we must not forget) LASERS has entered the game. Wich can be mounted on underwater bases wich have superportals ofc.

That bug usually occurs After demolishing or picking up structures. Any structures connected to the ones you demolished can vanish . For example if you rip down a Part of your dock it is possible that Parts of the Docks on the otherside of the Island disappear as Long as they are connected in Any way

A person would've thought, that after all these nautical miles this great company have sailed, they would've fixed this by now.

But, that's the rum maybe, clouding my head.

Hello, long term fan, been playing ark and atlas, just figured I would ask for a few simple requests.

Can we get some larger land masses that take up the whole region for exploration and such? They could contain like lost civilizations and cities that have been over grown, swamps with ships the got trapped due to poorly navigating the swampland, the ships sit slowly decaying and rotting, with the remains of the crew still walking the deck (Dead or living) guarding the plunder the vessel contains.

Maybe add an active volcano on the island as well, oh and so the sea dont seem so dull, add underwater volcanos to add more challange to the sea and maybe a skill that allows one in the crows nest of a ship to see through the fog... also couldnt hurt to spread the Ships Of The Damned out a little more, i keep going into regions only to find like 9 ships clustered together, makes fighting them not worth it when a single ship trys to take on like 6-9 ships at a time.....

Please add more clothing and weapon verity (Cosmetic skins) I would love to see an English uniform and a British Navy uniform (The blue coat and Red Coat uniforms) Please also add weapon skins, I would like to have a musket rifle, the current carbine rifle just looks to... fancy...... also, please add the ability to craft a bayonet and mount it to the rifle! also wouldnt hurt to add in sword skins as well!

Next thing is a major MUST.... because currently its extremely irritating... Please FIX the building mechanic......... in Ark, I never had to worry about trying to build a giant wall only to end up with an issue preventing me from placing a foundation, on Atlas, it seems I run into this issue every 5 feet and now i simply have a giant wall that looks absolutely stupid because its not even at all!

Steam boats! because why not? You already have a submarine, so why not add Steam boats? it could be this games form of "Ascended Gear" like, when you find the fountain of youth, you "Ascend" and unlock some cool stuff, like the steam ships and such and each time you "Ascend" you unlock more stuff, the Steam boats could even allow transportation of animals, since the vessels we have make it sorta hard to "Load and Unload" animals... also the issue with not being able to reverse from a port... thats getting annoying.... you could also add in the Hot Air Balloon or even a Blimp (These two vehicles would not be able to be used for combat, strictly a means of transportation!) as part of the Ascended stuff

Prebuilt Structure Blue Prints! It would be pretty cool if we could get blueprints for prebuilt structures and ships, would also make exploring in my honest opinion, worth it.... since i simply like building towns and such in games like this, the ability to have a prebuilt tavern and medical clinic or large port dock, would be awesome! and a massive time saver!!! Also, wouldnt mind having smaller walls....  I like the giant walls we can build to put around our towns and such, but could we get smaller ones?  same length just not as high. prebuilt ships would also be awesome, and save time.... instead of putting down just the frame, you would need to bring ALL the materials needed to complete construction 100% to the dry dock and put it all in to "Build" the vessel which would then give you a ship that is 100% complete the minute you craft it, different quality blueprints would include cannons and swivels and mortars and puck guns and such, but the common buying blueprints would just be the ship with a prebuilt cabin and such already on it, and furnished with tables and beds and even a map in the Captains cabin.

This will never happen. When game will be out of early acces and wiped several more times. 

Have fun with the buildingbug!!

I absolutely get the reason for the wipe, honestly I do, but how are we are treated for being loyal?.... nope, 0, nada, nothing. "Thanks for playing, hope you had fun.".... gone..... never mind...… here we go start again #facepalm. Do you even want us to come back after the 8th?

I get that we have significantly less real world $$ value to offer as we have already paid for the game and xbox is a new cash cow. How about some recognition or incentives for sticking with you through the journey, Unique cosmetics only available to those that had played more that xxxxxx hours?

Spot on, you nailed it.

Ha

Ha

Ha

"Decision not taken lightly" 

Ye rrrrright.

Thanks for all the fun we had, the trades we did and bossruns.

We tried, we prayed and we sweared, but we lost. Again ARK logic has taken over, nothing will change untill this game will be at least 1 year out of EA.

This wipe means the end for all hard work alot of you guys did. All breeds, builds (FIX THAT &*er%$$#%^BUILDINBUG AS WELL!!!) and tons of hours to sail around the rest of the bugs resulted in;

OUR HARDLY EARNED SKIN WOOOHOOOOOT!!

Oh no, even that's not gonna happen.

Take care all, 

I'm out of this mess.

3 Weeks since this roadmap came on, but we see no changes whatsoever. Is it safe to say we need to come back in 2 years? Or do we need to wait with 100% ARKlogic in the back of our heads (back each 3 months to see nothing much has changed, wait for the next 3 months and "hope" for the best?).

We had such good hopes, it still feels like cash and grab....

Alot of bug fixes, true. New roadmap is doing well I guess. 

But when is PvE getting the fixes? All patches are PvP ones.

So maybe we should vote the devs here onto the political stage. I'm sure they wouldn't have problems to fit in there with such a behavior.

I'm convinced they know how to read. You need to look above their paygrade. That's where decisions are being made.

I'm really wanting to know what on earth exactly happened to the NPC Pirate Encampments? are they still coming? has that idea been completely scrapped? This was one of the biggest things I was looking forward to, especially on private run servers/solo play.

Do you remember the first teaser on YT?

THAT'S what all of us want and that's the reason alot of us had faith (ikr, stupid stupid stupid) in GS and bought the "game".

Now it's ARK 2.0 with 100% ARK logic.

This game is becoming a big joke. 

Where are the lasers?

Sigh.

This is something they need to fix for their stated goal of making this a pirate game.  Pirating means melee/ranged attacks on pirates guarding the treasure.   Archer attacks on your skeleton archer opponents, followed by the hand to hand battle is very much part of  pirate fantasy.

If tames are the only way or best way to do something, then this is not a pirate game, this should not be ARK2.0

Tons of people asking for the same, do not put anymore effort in this, waste of energy trust me. Try and find a game that suits you, GS completely lost it and their "promisses".

Welcome Erik, I very much look forward to the Live stream tonight.
I certainly hope the that previous major updates that included doing wipes will be a great example of how the "good will" of the player base gets significantly impacted, especially as there was no return on time investment for those that decided to remain loyal to the cause. You lost a vast amount of players during the last event.. can you survive another exodus?

On a personal note. We invest many hundreds/thousands of hours building beautiful places to live, ships to sail, collecting wonderful gear and resources and capturing and breading powerful tames, ready for the next series of adventure and excitement and then.. bosh..... here, start again..... it's OK though, "we have introduced a new island" #ThumbsUp  #GoGrapeshot
And yes, I get the "in the interest of fairness" part, if wipes are necessary, you cant be seen to bias anyone just because they played a lot, however, there is only a certain amount of time people will put up with having their hard work thrown away and exiled to the depths our memories.  

Best of luck for tonight, I hope you have some great news for us

"Livestream" Ye right. ROFL.

Oh they have decided. They just haven’t said it.

They have decided way more then they told at this prerecorded piece.

All hands are on deck fixing the new DLCs for ARK. Thats why there are hardly any devs at work for ATLAS.

Q&A? What a joke. 

The broadcast from yesterday showed us exactly what we didnt want to see. 

Wipe incoming, the longer they wait, the more people are gonna rollover and never come back.

Sure? Where did you read this?

I had a very bad dream, was watching the livestream... 

Not to worry, wipe incoming.

I got only one; 

Will this game be the game you sold to us?

Aaaand here comes the storm. No more details? Really?

12 hours ago, Olthoi said:

Im pretty much the only one left that plays, most havent logged on in nearly 8 weeks including the company owner.  Is there a way to take over the ownership without them?

Yes, put in a ticket. 

Let me start off with this first, I'm a PvE player so this goes from PvE only (my view);

the following is not meant to be too sarcastic but you guys really have done a great job in letting the (almost) entirely community go to the bottom of the sea and even deeper.

Why? Thats an answer you all know, the silence on all threads and only responses on the Blackwood thread makes it even harder for the majority of players to even making it worth while to comment on this forum. 

Here goes;

Almost 1600 hours playtime. Thats how many I got since the release in december 2018. Good deal for a game wich costed me about 20 euros. 

When I saw the anouncement; ATLAS, a MMO with 40K players. THE pirategame where you can tame and breed animals, NPCs and even companymembers, I was stunned. Finally a game wich lives up to my name and created by the people from ARK. I just loved ARK and almost everything about it. I often wondered how it was like to sail around in a pirateship and do the same as in ARK.  Taming, basebuilding, making awesomely insane ships, upgrading canons/weapons and so on. Now we got the chance of fighting pirates and all what came with it.

Hyped.

Everyone got hyped, we watched the TWITCH channel for the release and even when it got delayed, people still wanted this game so badly. It looked like you guys hit it spot on. We all where gathering old friends to buy this game and set up companies. Opened up multiple Discord channels and we where LOVING it. In the next weeks after release, we got alot of patches, the game is in EA and it needed alot of tweaking. Players where giving alot of tips and bugs and we had the feeling you guys learned from ARK and finally stood closer to the community then before.

Then; the wipe.

The wipe was something needed, we all can agree on that. New players where given a chance to try and get an island for their own, next to alot of improvements such as the claimingsystem. We where all hoping for more "piratecontent", wich was promised to us. More boats/different canons/breeding NPCs/villages bursting with activities like in the anouncements. We also got a skin for helping you guys out. (ikr), communitymanagers where appointed to keep in touch, but to be honest, here it stopped. Entirely. I'll never forget your face Jat, when people where spamming the TWITCH feed with comments like; Where are the new shipbuilds? Why is there a charwipe? Why don't you fix bugs? It was there and then we said as an alliance;" He's in way over his head, this game will never leave EA." 

Griefing.

Players and companies where being griefed big time. Like us, we tried to get help in alot of ways. The only response I got, after 3 days of continiously spamming the the "ticketbox"; "I see what I can do, but I can not give you any info from here on." Thanks for that, I guess. Alot of companies where not having the "luck" of being smarter then the one who griefed them, they also tried to get in touch and/or help, but nothing happened. They left and felt like being stabbed in the back, most of them never will return. I remember and issue with one of our allies at that time, they went on and on and on for weeks on the Discord from ATLAS. Finally they got help from one of the admins. It was solved in 5 minutes, the griefing player was warned firmly and it was solved. 5 Minutes it took for the admin, was it that much for the other admins to do this? And before everyone goes ranting on them, remember they are being told to do things. Or not.

The "Mega updates". 

You gotta be kidding me? That was our first reaction. Unreal, we get a, yes people; A Ron Jeremy of camels. I still can not believe it, an animal to make salt water tastes sweet, it feels like a screwup wich was done with sweet waterspots during the design of the game. No new ship designs, no new canons... Erm, ok, we got a torpedolauncher wich is almost completely useless on at least PvE and wich is expensive as.... 

For soloplayers/little companies? Nothing changed, it has gotten worse.

Foundation and pillerspam? Some companies think it's normal to bomb places entirely, still happening. I asked once if a company wanted to remover theirs, I got so much BS about it, now they even made all of the floors 5 wide. "We just want to prevent other people from building there, due to the resources." And how about blocking other players to build? "There is space enuf now, let them keep on searching..." Sigh... pathetic. And not a single person from ATLAS does something about it. 

July mega update?  It's august ffs. We don't even want to know the updates anymore and alot of players do not even care anymore. We know we're getting new animals and a new gun. That's not wat we want;

WE WANT NEW SHIPS, NEW PIRATE CONTENT, BREEDING NPCS, NO MORE BROKEN PROMISSES! 

I do not care anymore about fixing, for instance, the so much hated building bug? Keep it, you guys know how to fix it, but leave it please. It has been fixed by a couple of modmakers. And in this rate with the game being drowned, we all go to unofficials. 

This game should NEVER been thrown into EA. It has been completely changed since it has been introduced as a "Pirate MMO with 40K players."

Too bad to see all players go, people we got to know in the last 6 months are mostly gone allready. They will not return, so be happy with their cash.

I really couldn't care any less if one of you responded or not anymore. Only one thing me and alot of players want to know now;

Is this game going to be as it was sold to us or not?
