Huh?

Just went to my first powerstone island and ran butt naked through it. The minute I saw 100 plus tames I was like “nope, I am not bringing anything with me” got far enough to get a discovery point and get my ass roasted by a drake lmao

Yeah very true. As long as they aren’t building walls around my base it’s all good. Once that happens then the fun stops

It wasn’t that big of a deal though and he walked away with more than he had. grieving is stuff that is a lot more serious. If anything they were just trolling him but I wouldn’t call that grieving Because there wasn’t any negative impact in this situation

Ah ok very cool. Yeah hopefully I find another good one. I have been to over 100 islands and that is the first 30 I have seen lol

No I don’t want to sell her. I want to breed her. I will definitely keep that in mind. Didn’t realize there was a marketplace. Thanks for the info though. If you want you can move this to the market place section.

Because I have been to a lot of islands and this is the first and only level 30 I have seen so to me it is rare

No, you have to use the left and right trigger to zoom in and out to the bed you want. If you just press the spawn button it won’t do that for you edit: sorry, then hat the right thumb stick to navigate around. If the right thumb stick doesn’t work anymore you have to keep zooming in.

Really? I thought that was a funny story. Smh

Xbox release on oct 8th

The cool part is that it was not on our home island but during our exploration so she will be on our exploring ship. We haven’t figured out a price yet but we will send both a global message as well as I will put I message on here as far as breeding prices. but yes, started 30, no mistakes so she tamed out at the max 44 with 14 levels. stats at tame: 617 health, 800 stamina, 135 melee, 1178 weight

Has to be a bug then. I have 100 int. Every dam map I pick up is always the same(over 50) every map he picks up is always higher. Suck for me except I get to keep the points in health and stamina lol

Yeah I get you. They did say the were looking into factions and if they ever actually do that in phase 4 I will actually consider going to pvp down the road. Been in Megas before and that is what actually makes the game boring for me. having nothing but huge factions would take away from the whole offline thing.

Very true and well said. Having said that I just can’t do the pvp aspect anymore. With the offline raiding and more importantly, the insiding that goes on it just leaves a bitter taste. After 3 years of ark pvp I can finally yang my hat onto atlas pve. i love pvp which is also why I was big into sea of thieves for a while. I love sailing so it is no surprise I love atlas. The best aspect of sea of thieves was that you always had a ship to go back to so it really incentivized pvp which was some awesome fun with all of the crazy ideas you could do for pvp. sea of thieves lacked a lot of content though unfortunately. Atlas has a ton of content but is very lacking in PvP when a good 9 out of 10 fights are done while others are offline. Just really disappointing. kind of sucks when you want some action and the Megas know very well they could easily squash you but they STILL wait till you are offline. It’s like come on man, you had the win already but you couldn’t even let us put up a fight? these types of games are very rush once storied and memories but their biggest strength is also their biggest downfall when it comes to pvp

Yeah I got a pretty good laugh out of that. With stuff like that it isn’t even about having thick skin or anything. It is just enjoying the ride. hell actually anytime I go on a island with the owner on it I ask if they know where discoveries are. If they say they don’t know then I tell them I will let them know when I find it. Already helped a few land owners know where their DP’s are. so far this is an awesome game. I am loving so damn much. All I do is sail and find DP’s. Who knows maybe it is hanging with my buddies or the beer I am drinking but the sailing is definitely not boring

So my buddy needed some bamboo so he sailed to an island to get some. The owners started dragging dead animals by his base and set up a cannon by his little shack and started shooting at it. They were laughing in chat and saying that was how they say hi to newbies. my buddy then said if you give me bamboo I will just leave. They gave him 4000 bamboo so he picked up and left lol. all he needed was the bamboo so I thought that was pretty funny and cool at the same time

I would definitely recommend the game. Especially since you said pve. If you were going to try solo pvp I would have said don’t bother lol. yeah everything is possible solo but I would recommend at least temporarily teaming up with people to do end game stuff of course like the kraken or powerstone islands. this game will be very fun for you. To be honest if you have enough gold for npc’s you could technically sail a galleon but if i were you I wouldn’t bother with that until your solo status comes to an end lol. if you are going to do maps solo then definitely get a bear because maps can be a pain solo. unless you will be the type to be on a lot I would go to a lawless region. If you are on a lot you might want to try being a tenant on someone’s island if you find a good landlord. There are plenty of landlords so don’t put up with a bad one. The good ones deserve the taxes more lol

Then I am the one with the bug lol because when I pick it up it stays the same. Yeah definitely time to get crows lol

Except when I pick them up they are the same as when I saw them up. When he picks them up they are higher. so ok, I guess we will call it a bug or something because I am just confirming what is happening with us.

No, it definitely does raise the quality. Not by a lot but it does. i look at the bottle and it’s 2.2, then he looks at the bottle and it’s 2.2, then when he picks it up and goes into his inventory it is 2.8 its already happened with the few maps we have picked up. Confirmed

And it also raises the quality of maps when you pick them up. That is confirmed now

That’s all fine. But just like an anchored ship there should be offline raiding protection for bases as well. When people aren’t online it isn’t pvp it is pvb(base). The way it is right now is definitely not pvp. sure people would say that other people would abuse it. Who cares if they abuse it, it would keep people playing and force them to actually pvp and not be cowards.

My buddy tested it and when I saw a map that said 2.2 quality it showed that to him as well. Once he picked it up it became 3.0 quality so that is pretty cool. Cool. Thanks for the info

So I know they made a change to intelligence a while back and I am just wondering what percentage increase you get for gear and weapons per intelligence level. i looked at the wiki but it doesn’t offer much info. It did say that higher intelligence gives better quality to maps when you pick them up. Does anyone know how high of an increase to the maps?

Make bases invulnerable but ships not. That way the PvP stays on the water and people can still be able to build more ships because they will be able to. base wiping is actually the main thing that makes atlas still very much ark. Which it still is. It just has some different aspects but the gameplay or pvp itself is ark.
