So yeah, just reached as soloplayer the Cap of Lev 51 with 41k XP.
The one thing first to mention is that the XP does not run further, after you reached the cap you will get a "warning" message that you have to make further discoveries to increase the max possible amount of XP. So it is possible to prefarm for the sooner or later incomming difficulty 2.0 and so on (ARK started also with max Level 30 wildlife except of Alphas, the next step was difficulty 2.0 3.0 up till 5.0, the max wildlife Level has been always increased by 30 (30, 60, 90, 120, 150) ATLAS will most likely follow this pattern.
Screenshot of the message after reaching Cap > klick me <
Ps: for those who are curious, I leveled from Lev 20 to cap within less than 2 RL days by just hunting Alphas.
Alongside obviously picking up rare stuff like met/gems/sap and so on to make it more efficient.
Wish you all gl & hf

Short general Feedback:
Ghostships are in it current state broken, please fix.
Temperature differences /Weather influences - Vitaminlevel - Taming and so on is easy to handle if you have experience from ARK, new people just have to accept that there is a learning curve and afterwards you will handle it almost automatically.
The changed skillpointcosts and available skillpoints do make it in the beginning really hard for solo players, you barely have any bluprints and have to think twice where you put your points into. (Sure you can ask neighbours and so on to craft you stuff, but common, does it have to be that painful?...)
Rare Ressources only being available island by island is a good idea to make people travelling, but with blocked and perma looted spawns the jouneys are most of the Time worthless, so you are forced into trading. (Metal at Island A Kristal at Island B, Gems at Island C and so on)
Please add a warning for people joining a Clan that all their property will be lost if they get kicked. The nonsense was already at ARK a pain in the ass and you adopted that system 1:1...
PVE Feedback:
Limit max Territories at 2 per Person, if it is a Clan add 1 more territory for 5 members up to a max of 5 terretories (5-9 people = 3 terretories, 10-14 = 4 territories, 15-xxx = 5 terretories)
People are currently already extremely struggling with finding even small single spot locations to settle down. Above mentioned point would help against groups who claimed whole islands.
PVE Terretory Tipps for players:
Steal Enemy terretories: In order to be able to do so there has to be no sleeping(owner) or alive character(everyone) in the terretory.
If there is a sleeping owner around you are not able to steal the territory, but if you find one without anyone around you can start.
The stealing process will be paused as soon as any person does enter the area, just ask them friendly to leave, or wait it out. 30 seconds after they left the stealing attempt will continue.
The stealing Time has been reduced to 30 Minutes + additional 10 Minutes for the normal claiming process.
Territories placed in the water have almost 10 times the volume of a normal one placed at land..., till we are all on islands look that you place it somewhere at the water close to land instead of the other way around.
If you do not want to steal terretories from other people, but you still wanna play at packed official servers you have several options:
- sail for 10h+ to finally find a decent free spot.
- beg people with huge terretories for a small portion of their land.
- set your terretory at the outskirts of an island inside the water, so you are able to place your stuff at the edge of the land (during placing the flag the blue line will show you the edge of your claim) with crossing others territories (good way if you just wanna have a small portion of land to build a shipyard and sail away later.)
In the next days many flags should dissapear due the implemented 3 day innactivity rule, so you might get lucky if you keep your eyes open.
