    Ok so if they open new server everyone here that said no keep your ass on the old server and dont come to the new one! That sounds fair.

    Simple solution. Start your own private server so you can WIN (and hopefully stop whining on the official forums).

    Nope not at all what happened. They were flying around all over the place and rising in the tank.

    the streamer himself said “yeah I was telling people not to touch anything” but they did it anyways. They utilized a hack and they should get banned.

    the streamer himself knows they did wrong and is admitting it on his stream. They should have thought about the consequences before hand

    Oh bullshit. He also said it's not like they ran around destroying the island.  They did not hack.  They did play with what the hacker created and so would you.   But you don't even own this game so you couldn't.  Personally, I think YOU should be banned for all the bitching you do.

    @Jatheish btw if you ban the hack you need to ban the company that is utilizing off of these hacks as well. Not sure who the streamer is but they need to be dev wiped as well since they are using the spawned in dragons and tanks.

    if they don’t get banned as well, then we will all see the favoritism. This is your time to prove to us

    Blind white knight strikes again.  If a dragon spawned on your house you'd wanna take a ride.

    The streamer kicked the guy from the company multiple times and the hacker kept forcing himself back in.

    It would seem that either a Grapeshot admin was doing this or someone found a way to make themselves and admin and used the GM commands found here.

    https://www.nerdsandscoundrels.com/atlas-admin-spawn-commands-and-cheats/

    If we assume that this was a normal player who somehow made themselves an admin you will also see that with those commands they had infinite resources at their disposal as well as crew. If this was a player then that activity should be logged and I would expect some swift action on the part of Grapeshot along with an explanation of how this happened.

    If this was a Grapeshot employee you have to ask, WTF?

    And this "Gentleman" did not spam Foundations he just put them on an Area where he wants to build a House, a Shipyard and a Cage. Play the Game like u want to play it but dont tell other People that they do something wrong just because they want to have there own Land. 

    I am not saying anyone is doing anything wrong for wanting their own claim. I too want my own as well.  And because of the way the system works even if that guy had gotten that claim instead of building on a neutral claim, it still could have been taken away.  My first claims, I lost them all to a bug when the server crashed and I was kicked out of my own corp.  What I am saying is that a large portion of those looking for claims are either a. expect them to be handed to them or b. aren't willing to work to keep them. I'm not saying that I lump everyone into those categories.

    My fiance and I are looking for somewhere to build our 1st workshop and shipyard. We would prefer tropic or temperate areas. We are both fairly new to the game and therefore do not have much to trade but are more than willing to work for our homestead. 

    Alternatively, we are more than willing to "rent" from someone who has space that they do not want to give up permanently which would still facilitate upgrading our Ramshackle Sloop to something more respectable. 

    We are not interested in joining an established company since our goal going into this game is to push how far we can get on our own. 

    PM me.  I'm working on an idea to help people get started if you're willing to work for it.

    I'm considering opening up some of my claims to help people get started.  The problem, my waterfront is quite small and there's not enough room for a lot of ships.  My question is, if someone is listed on your claims as being able to build, do their anchored ships decay at a faster rate?  Do alliance ships from other companies anchored on your claim decay at a faster rate?

    Thanks

    Point 2 - Way to have no faith in the community at all.

    Are you a hermit?  Do you live in a cave in Siberia?  Is your real last name Cleaver? This is not 1952, this is 2019.  This planet is infested with self-entitled soccer mom's who will run your ass over in order to get their kids to practice on time.  The overwhelming majority of the people on this planet still have Janet Jackson's, "What have you done for me lately," as their personal theme song.  This planet is infested with people who will throw an absolute fit in public just to cause a scene so they can get a free pizza because they feel they deserve one.  This planet is infested with people who will intentionally cause you grief, whether in-game or out, simply because they think it's funny.  I have no faith in this community because I have no faith in HUMANITY.

    People who are dropping these pillars/foundations to counter griefers, as you suggest, are by default becoming the griefers themselves. And why? Because they are protecting THEIR assets. Whether they want to delude you and themselves with the excuse that they're doing it to help everyone, they're doing it to help themselves.  Or they'll give the justification of, "I'm doing it before someone else does."

    I dunno where you've been living for the past 30 odd years, but the civilization inhabiting this planet has become inwardly focused on themselves and the few, tiny voices that are out there crying, 'work together' are drowned out by the masses screaming, 'MINE! MINE! MINE!'

    For example, one of the biggest bitches about this game is the claim system. Nobody wants to pay taxes to live somewhere. Why? Because they ALL envision THEMSELVES as being lord and master and not the working peasant.  They ALL envision themselves as the landgrave and not the sharecropper. And rather than pay those taxes to someone who just got lucky and got their first or actually WORKED to expand or hold onto their claims, they'd rather quit playing all together.

    I would love to have some Place on an claimable Island (PVE Server) but all i found so far are People having much more Land claimed then they nee d. I had to make a decission searching on Islands where no claimable Land is available or placing Foundations to avoid having nothin g. In my Opinion there is too much water and not enough claimable Land. And there are too much greedy People ….. hello World. 

    This, is a perfect example of what I'm telling you.  There are people on the NA-PVE server who are offering land to be settled. Is it taxed? Yes.  But rather than get a foothold in the game and pay those taxes until such time as they're capable of exploring and finding their own claim, this gentleman decided to spam foundations in order to avoid having nothing because he equates nothing to being him not personally owning it.

    I'm on my 3rd start from nothing at this game.  In order to get that start, I found an island where the owner had set up free, public crafting facilities. He also charged a 30% tax on everything I collected there.  Was I happy to pay this man? Damn straight I was. I was able to sit there for a few days, keep my raft repaired and build myself some furs. I was eventually able to venture north with enough resources to get me a good foothold in the tundra.  When I landed, there were rafts and shanty's from at least 3 others who had attempted to start there.  They were all vacant because the owners decided the game wasn't handing them a claim on a silver platter.

    I'm now on phase two of building my small castle. I have 3 towers completed and the first layer of walls. I have a sloop, a schooner, a wharf, 2 piers, a taming pen, a large barn for my tames and a 4 story stone house to protect me.  I have roughly a dozen claims covering a small waterfront and a valley behind my house that's surrounded by mountains. I trade with nearby islands and passersby for the things I can't get and I STILL go back to that guy who had the free crafting tables and harvest fiber from him as a continued way of saying, "thank you for helping me get started." I have endured what I perceive as a massive aggravation of wolves, lions, snakes and alphas and continue to endure that aggravation every single day I log in.  I have worked and continue to work hard for what I currently have.  And when I hear people bitch about how they can't find a claim and they're stuck on a lawless or how they won't pay taxes because someone else got lucky, I quickly classify them along with everyone else who thinks a game should just hand them shit simply because they exist.

    Do I have faith in this community? No. I have become just as cynical and inwardly focused as the rest of this planet.  The difference is, I'm old enough to remember when people WORKED for what they wanted and didn't EXPECT it to be given to them.  So when I hear people bitching about living on a pillar/foundation spammed island I have to ask myself, why are they living there anyway?  Every single day people get fed up and quit this game and every single day there are claims that become abandoned.  If you're willing to get off your raft, explore and work for a claim, they are there to be taken.  If you cruise by on your raft, see gobs of red dots and say, "this island is entirely claimed," expecting a claim to be handed to you, then no, you won't find one.

    I'm done ranting now.

    Now see, I've had two wonderful days of gaming on Atlas and it's all because of alphas.  Yesterday, I had a 248 elephant hang around my house for hours and hours (I named him Jumbo) and today, it was a 170 pig and a 215 bear.  It was grand, I was actually able to go out and farm some resources, I had a traveller stop by in his schooner and we had a nice conversation and did some trading and only one lion showed up under the pier.  I snagged a few new tames, beat up on some annoying vultures, took the horse out for a brief ride and gathered some berries to feed the crows... I had a wonderful, productive day.

    But, I'm certain tomorrow, my visitors will all be gone and I'll be back to this bullshit:

    Problem solution:

    admins

    Problem. You used the plural of admin.  Thus far, we've been informed that there's exactly one admin for all 4 clusters.

    I am sure most of the community is reasonable and will abide.

    If the community were reasonable they wouldn't be pillar/foundation spamming in the first place.

     and just use normal foundations with walls on one side.

    Don't count on that working. I have a magician for a money who's currently under my floor.  How the hell he got there, I have no clue, but that makes twice he's done that.  I've had to install trap doors in my floors.  I've also had pet vultures dematerialize and pass through walls.

    Beyond that, you don't need pigs for feces unless you have a farm the gods would envy, because fertilizer usage isn't too bad,

    No, but pigs do have one amusing feature should you suddenly find yourself out of fertilizer. They can shit on demand.

    Crows/Parrots give buffs to their owners when on the shoulder (Supposedly, haven't done this myself). 

    Crows do give an int buff and it increases as the crow levels. For example, my lvl 7 crow gives a 12.7% increase whereas my lvl 43 gives a 26.5% increase.  Parrots do give a fortitude buff.  I only have one parrot and it's buff is pretty lame.  Like +3.5.

    How does that compare to the bear? I find one patch of berry plants gets me dozens of full stacks in about a minute.

    Seems pretty equal. I haven't had a lot of opportunity to work with bears as I keep getting them killed and since in the tundra there's so little fiber it's a bit of a waste.  But the horse does as well as you describe. But there's just gobs of berries where I live.

    Since I tame a good number of birds, one quick trip with a horse gathers enough berries for a day.

    Tossing corpses into the wolves and vultures seems to produce about as much meat, hide and keratonin that I do with a hatchet.

    A. You never had to beat the dinos on Ark. B Has a triceratops existed in your lifetime? Because penguins have, therefor they are more relatable. Weren't you trolling someone else earlier Percieval??? Run along. I am sure you are missed somewhere. 

    I feel honored. I trolled you and wasn't told to 'shoo'. Thank you.

    Seemed like you were suggesting a single person should be able to grow a corp like that on their own; if that was not your intent, I apologize.

    Not at all. But I am saying that in EVE it's definitely possible and could could do so without even leaving the safety of high sec. A single person can start a corp, recruit members, put the right ones into the right positions, and build it into something quite large.  I started solo and at one point, my corp was around 100 members.  I simply stopped recruiting.  On Atlas, while it's still possible, the moment a solo leaves freeport (which you have to do if you want to lvl past 8), the incessant dying begins.
