How can you play for a year and not know this is the worst way to tame an elephant? Get a fucking bear and bola the elephant while sitting on it. You dont need pens, it makes them buggy. Also ure feeding it from the WRONG side.  I've never had any issues with taming an elephant and i tamed dozens since last christmas. Not even gonna talk about devs, this gif was frustrating enough, seeing how bad u are after a year of playing.

The point of the gif was to illustrate a basic fundemental of irregularities between client and server which is beyond easy to fix but given such little effort to rectify; the penn in this situation is irrelevent, these sorts of things are littered throughout Atlas, the annoying thing isn't taming an elephant but the fact the game could be one of the best in existence with a little TLC.

Also your contrast of support is somewhat strange, you're agaisnt it in other posts but aggressive and defensive in another; you literally agree with my post in another reply, are you okay? " Probably working on another game. Almost a year and there are still so many huge issues which were there at day one. This game is unfixable. Sad, I was so hyped about Atlas. "

I've played atlas now for a year and you know what? I love it, however...

What really suprises me and annoys me about Atlas is that at its core, it's amazing, it's an amazing concept and is excuted in a way that allows memorable and fun player moments, which nearly every single game released to date misses, but what really purplexes me is how programmers can constantly mess up and write bugs for something extremely trival, I'm curious to question if Grapeshot QA actually exists. As somebody who has released multiple AAA titles, it confuses beyond the point of belief, it can't be, yet seems so plausible.

For example, trying to tame an Elephant. What really seems weird in this gif is that the client seems to think that feeding the Elephant is completely possible (it's highlighted and an option), yet when I press E nothing happens, I move a little closer and the Elephant hits me, so what is really happening here? My general thought is the client and the server are NOT aligned but I get hit at the correct points, so to my disbelief it is literally down to extremely poor client or server programming, how does a game that makes $100m allow this to happen? literally any kid on a computer science course could write this better and shows either a huge discompassionate attitude toward the games or just the inability to do it correctly, which is truely sad.

It doesn't make sense that sometimes I can't even attempt to claim somebody else's land, but ours is always claimable - something is missing here for sure..

Logs in after patch to expect 30% less ships. Spawn with 3 around my ship, the odds must be agaisnt me ey?

along the lines of "gay king's live here fuck you" - or something along the lines of negative gay remarks

as the title says, a guy is constantly being abusive and chaing our territory flag message to racist or homophobic clans

So,

Today we logged in after being told these ships were fixed to find our ship and shipyard completely destroyed, how hard can it be really... It's getting rediculous now, I've lost 5 ships to this overnight for the past week..

Old flags that were placed before the 7.2 patch are glitched and anyone can come and challenge them. And in 10 minutes, they will take your flag.  

To correct this, replace all flags placed before 7.2 patch. New flags cannot be challenged. 

 

Will I have to wait 10mins for it to erect? Would my land be at risk in that time?

Are you trying to place a flag already on your territory or new territory?

I'm just trying to protect my territory, as people keep trying to claim it, but when I try to claim others, sometimes it says they've recently done "upkeep" so I can't even attempt to claim it

Hey guys,

Have a question, sometimes on territory it won't allow me to place a flag at all, and say's there's "Flag upkeep" recently, how do I also protect my area? Because people can still place flags even know we have a large establishment.

Thanks!
 

Hey guys, we really want to build defenses around our ship as the stupid ghost ship keeps killing them when we are offline, but I can't see to extend out or build infront of the ship, any advice for extending and building out?

afaik they don't attack rafts, but the fact we lose our ship overnight without doing anything is just dumb

Hi,

Again while asleep, our ship was destroyed overnight (space of 4 hours) - it was anchored in our way, how the hell are we supposed to prevent it from getting destroyed??

Rebumping this, I am still confused, in the image it says I need 2x 17 of fibres, I have 2 differnt types of fibres there as you can see in the image, yet it's still not accepting it? Same as wood too. Only the metal is okay

OOoooh, makes sense, thanks!

Hi guys,

So I have all the needed materials for this gun, and the required skill, but 2 of the mats are greyed out despite having them, what gives?

Cheers

Hi,

Does anybody know what blueprints are for? It seems kinda silly so I must be missing something, I can't make the item unless I have the skill, and it's not cheaper in mats? So if you need the skill then why are they needed?

On a trip to the oceans, stop at an island to look about, 5 mins later our docked ship was killed by a ghost ship...

What a shit mechanic, and as no wood spawns on these islands... Curious do you guys even have QA? seems like a dev just slaps his keyboard and merges code to release.

Can't seem to claim any land andmore, and due to the dumb system one player owns an entire island, Iv'e now visited 15 islands to see each completely populated by 1 person and can no longer contest claims since the patch..

Pleeeeeeeease limit the amount one person can claim and expand it over time OR by guild size, it's such a silly mechanic with 0 thought put into it

So far me and my friends have 20+ hours of gameplay and I'm yet to see any of the real cool looking content that was shown in the trailer. Mass interaction with NPCs, cool bosses, actually good combat, not just boats but in multiple elements, even stuff like dragons

So it's not avoidable seems like if it spawns on you then you're done, it's stupid

So, we spent hours making a boat...

Finally escape the most cancerous island known to man, sail off, enjoying the game for once, find a new island, a storm spawns ontop of us, make it to shore, dock up the boat, tornado spawns one shots the boat, can't repair it.... Doesn't seem so fun and really bad design choice...

Hey,

WE've left the tutorial island, sailed for 30 mins~ to a new island and new it's still saying we must leave the island? Found 3 discoveries and in the "lawless" zone, but we're still locked to level 8?

How to get past?

Thanks
