ummm ... yes it is, claim system rewrote from scratch removed from PVE, PVP system complete rewrite, grids modified, PVE tax system removed and all code for it, new maintenance code for PVE, Discovery system rewrote

it is not a wipe, it is a relaunch , with a major change in base code, you need to reword your poll

the basic code of ark did not change, the basic code of atlas II is complete relaunch

in PVE - no claiming in PVP - complete Island Players can now build anywhere, without owning a Settlement (an island which has been claimed). An island which has been claimed is now known as a Settlement. Only one claim flag can be placed per island, and the owner (player/company) is the owner of that Settlement. PvE Network No claim flags Damage decay overtime added to all structures A new auto-repair structure which players will need to upkeep to prevent structures from being destroyed by decay.

the forums as will the WIKI could be wiped, since the relaunch will change too much stuff, folks will get lost trying to decide are we talking about Atlas I or Atlas II

They made a mistake of calling it a wipe. Cause it ain't really a wipe, it is a relaunch. It is Atlas II. A wipe would be just that a wipe and do over using same code with maybe a coupe of new things it it. But the change in claims, PVP, discovery points, major changes to the grids, changes to character progression, is not a update it is a relaunch with new ideas completely different from Atlas I

The simple reason for a wipe is a easy one, they need the data on what parts of the new code works/doesn't work. They need base data from a freshly launched game, which is what is coming, not a revamp, not a minor change, but major modification in the code. In some cases completely removed code will cause issues since they will be deleted and no real way to determine what did we fuck up and how do we fix it? With claims gone most likely banks will be also since there will be no real land area 'owned' , major code change there lots of old code gone, new code in, and very little testing to see what works, what does not, and with major add/remove of code there is one guarantee something will be broken, how badly broken will have to be seen, and impact will be a unknown

My point is why play if a wipe is coming. They can wipe the servers every night at 0:00. Till the fancy new code is ready

So, why not wipe it this Friday? Why wait?

Tell me

Reboot your router and try for a new IP address, it is related to Battleye blocking your ip address

With the new no collision on other boats , a issue is when your pet jumps on one when unloaded in a cramped area, or if you claim a pet on a boat from a player who has stopped playing. The pet cannot get off the boat due to no collision, causing them to be unable to walk, but just float , and with no collision they cannot 'jump' railings, they just play bumper cars. The fix for stopping others from sinking boats was badly implemented, instead of just making them unable to move if over loaded, stopping mesh collision is asinine. It stopped the sinking boat problem, but you added lots of other problems. We have lost gear by falling onto to boat and not being able to get off of it by just floating in the air, you have to die to get off it and then you have no access to your corpse.

when I can steal land that has a 16 day timer on it and not fight a single other player while doing it, there is a problem

hmmmm looking into the file structure of Atlas what does one find? Steam\steamapps\common\ATLAS\ShooterGame\Content\PrimalEarth\Dinos Steam\steamapps\common\ATLAS\ShooterGame\Content\ScorchedEarth\WeaponFlamethrowerSteam\steamapps\common\ATLAS\ShooterGame\Content\ScorchedEarth\Dinos\RockGolem Steam\steamapps\common\ATLAS\ShooterGame\Content\PrimalEarth\Dinos\Doedicurus you can do some looking on your own.... but if it looks like ARK , it just might be based on ARK

we are on hour 83 of a 6 hr claim .................................................. the words I want to use would make even a pirate blush and a server update coming and we are heading into hour 85...

Enough with the 6hr timer, put it back to 30 min we have been trying for the past 37 hrs to declaim a single owner spot in the middle of ours, they have abandoned it and are not sleeping near it, but it is impossible to get the 6 hr count down, someone rides by, runs by, we crash, the system crashes, updates, any of a gillion things happen and it resets to 5hr52mn59sec , know how ticked off you get when it gets reset at 47 min to go? I can't imagine how far I'll toss my mouse/keyboard when it hits 10 seconds and gets reset

what you fail to realize is no one cares if a game is meaningful, they only want entertainment been that way since before UO , will still be that way long after Atlas is not even a memory

it is a game you want real life, where death has consequences, then do not play it

not on PVE...

- Claim Flags now have settings which allow other companies or players to build within them, with the specified tax rate applied to them. Please note that exclusion/inclusion lists are not saved when altering building permissions, so switching from 'Everyone' can build to 'Company & Alliances' only will clear your list should you wish to return to 'Everyone' can build. So, I allow you to build upon a spot, them after you build the Taj Mahal , and I go in and change settings to not allowed... what happens to your building and all your wimmen in it?

The new raft wind speed ( Sailing against the wind now provides 30% of with-the-wind sailforce, as opposed to 0%.) has made it impossible to turn rafts, no way to make a raft go left/right , it only goes forward. Needs to be fixed to give us a way to turn a raft, or turn off the new wind modification

On 26 January 2018, Darkfall: New Dawn launches. [48] odd they would be launching new content to be bankrupt

no they will not name one game that went bankrupt due to 'casuals'

simple solution, you do not like 2x then throw 1/2 of your stuff on the ground after you collect it, problem solved.

containers on any raft/ship should only allow owners/companies to put items in them, that would help a lot on sinking by others
