So when I first started looking into this game there was a lot of talk about how they wanted to simulate an economy in game by having resources limited to certain areas, and there was a lot of comparisons made with Eve Online. The problem with this game and the difference being is that in Eve Online, no one can effectively reduce your efforts to zero i.e you have your ISK wallet, other stations to store ships etc. Atlas does not have that, you can effectively go from being the richest dude on the server back to creating a raft on the starter islands overnight, so why would I stockpile resources to trade with others? Here are some suggestions in regards to claims and how I think bases should work - 1. Placing claim flags should cost resources - nothing too serious, just enough to make it inefficient to spam them 2. You should pay an upkeep on your claims, dependant on how many structures are in your territory - similar to the Rust upkeep/decay system. Once again nothing serious, just enough to have people being in that area every couple of days to place the resources into the flag. 3. As long as your upkeep is kept up to date, your base structures are indestructible. 4. Placing a claim flag in contested territory requires more resources and a higher upkeep rate. It should cost people something to raid you, I think it's ridiculous you can place a flag and claim other peoples structures.

Aus/NZ are screwed, constantly getting host timeouts. I think I've actually logged into the game twice, in lawless regions and the lag there was still horrendous. Basically the only way we can play at the moment is on private servers, which means shelling out more cash. Why is the connection to these servers so terrible?

Looking and feeling like Ark is a bit different to - copy -> paste -> rename some of the files.

I don't care about delays, but how can people be happy with the fact that this game is a blatant reskin of Ark? "E a r l y a c c e s s Youre PAYING for an unfinished product. " This is basically Ark, so them charging money for Ark skinned as another game is a ripoff.

https://map.playatlas.com/ Please tell me this is a work in progress because of all the half arsed things I've seen in this game so far this is the front runner in the half arsed competition.

I cant even connect to an NA/EU server

Phartnonu - you are in Australia and getting 36 ping? How?

Has anyone from AU/Oceanic even been able to connect?

Oh dear.

How is an MMO expected to survive with private servers?

Agree 100%. Understand reusing Ark assets for certain things, but please at least make it "feel" like a different game.

Please, for the love of god, tone down the character generator to more realistic body shapes/types. It kills me seeing some of the weird players in Ark, and I was hoping to see more realistic characters in this game.
