So instead of 20 large cannons on the backs of boats, put medium cannons on the back of boats. Really only thing it changed was having more then 1 crew mate help repair the boat anyways... You will still get hit pretty heavy on the back of the boat, if you dont kite them right. Circle kite them now then. and use the medium cannons off the back. The AI logic in this game needs massive improvements, otherwise the Sotd will all bunch together and pretty much play bumper cars for everyones quick Easy win large cannon meta farming.

Hold tight, they already said ship changes are in the works and lots more ideas where coming for ships. I agree you cant change up your configs much, however just means more tanks in the water now then ever. A galleon is a tank too.

Well it doesn't surprise me any, pve has been meshed with pvp this whole time. Its a total mistake to put the two games together and patch them together. Its two different games. But there is only a few doing this game so i dont expect much yet until they build the game up some. I think this team is too young to have ever played Shadowbane, or they would understand how pvp and pve can be placed together. There is a balance, and you dont weigh down the pvpers by pve. The reason i suggest this, because we would have groups go out and mass xp boost players to get past this whole "time sync" system. We have it in this game too, with shared XP. So you will now just have to kite them to a shore defense and let the towers take them out. Make more sense?

Ah they removed it completely from ships?

No but there can be a system in which objects can not be placed while under attack such as shipyards, lighthouses, walls close to an enemy. I see why the poster is making this a point, resources to destroy a ship yard, then others rush out place another ship yard etc.. Players find all kind of ways to exploit the system, and it doesn't always involve a mega company doing it either. Makes sense to find a good balanced system.

Thanks Doc, ill give that a try.

No he is correct, unless you actually mess around with the L-ALT key you would not know this. It is turned off in 1 option, but enabled right back on if you hit the L-Alt key. It returned after they wiped the servers. SO why i said its hard to figure out, back then was we thought it was broken, until i actually started to mess around with the key binds. L-alt moved to [ and and auto targeting off. If you need to turn it back on just use the [ key. I had to turn it off 4-5 times to enable it to work once. Don't listen to Willard hes just a troll and on ignore. The options never worked right from the start, a simple off and on was turned on by L-alt key at the start, they remapped some keys and options have changed. I just repeated the same options, and it worked last time i checked. Never bothered to read that deep into it. Sorry Edit, i use the L=Alt key for push to talk on discord etc.. imagine every time auto target goes off when you talk to others? every pig, every boar, etc.. auto targeting, then auto following. OH boy that was annoying i had to find a fast fix. Got tired of bitching about it haha.

Pretty much, the same ones being mentioned in Reddit right now, i know many of the posts have been deleted. QM, Huya, huyu whatever are the same ppl we had at the start of the game doing the exact same aimbot crap they are doing now. I reported that crap months ago and refuse to go back to official because its lame. As for negativity, yes the direction the devs are taking and the lack of dealing with things have been since ark EA. Never expected atlas to be arkish either, boy was i fooled.

Cyclops are completely different then the older school eye kills. If you use 4 balistic weapons off the back of a boat and drag them into the water, it would do approx 49-70 damage then approx 5-8 rounds later it would land a eye shot for 1300+ damage. YOu miss a few times, however with 2 people i would like to try one person using it to hit the eyes. Thank you for the others. The hydra i tried to pull to the water i think in c6 zone, and it went right back to its location. Maybe i didn't do it right. I used just arggo tagging not actually hitting it.

Would you recommend a good setup for those? its un official i speak of so it wont matter too much for hints.

Cyclops still are decent, but also gorgons, and other top end creatures. Remember end game is Mythos so it should not be easy to farm.

It mainly is pvp but i recommend trying it, so big. I know its down right now, new servers being picked up.

Yes but after the mega patch it was broken, has it been fixed yet? still waiting for our server to get ready unable to test it again on placement. 3 cannons 1 bay or more.. 2 or more large cannons on top of each other.

Not going to work unless they block the Aimbotters and cheaters. Sorry to say no matter what great, cool mechanics they put in it will be exploited by the very same players doing it now. Its very aggressive on Reddit, the same ones i reported months ago, are now back after a ban. They need to get things in order or else this system will never be worth a damn.

I put up a sad face on your post because you get it.

Cyclops ballistics works roughly 49-59 damage per one, having 4 off the back of the boat does good, after about the 8th round of ballistic you get 1 eye shot. Its the same every time. This is standard weapons. I tested this awhile ago, so things might have changed yet again.

Copy your Saved folder.. It has your character files in there.

Dude, i want to just re engineer this game and make a complete ship game.... everyday i say to myself... damn what would atlas be like if we had 8 - 10 different ships of the times, tech trees related to the times, and outposts that resemled some of the past ports we had. How much would the game be cool. Yet we get taming fishes... Its a shame really it is. Someone, OH maybe shoot the idea across to the rust guys?? oh damn good idea.

Working as intended, lots was broken 1.5, new mega update will break it again. Best to wait until they add in the other stuff before fixing anything more.

Here is the next tame coming to atlas soon! TM

I dont recommend exploding this game into an ark clone.. Taming and over burdening the population with crafting, farming. Its repetitive, and players find ways to exploit any of it they can to avoid it. Its mainly a balance issue that needs to be fine tuned. really find those Aimbotters, esp users because i reported the same cheaters months ago and now they are just getting banned. Keep going towards shipwright building, and pvp should be completely different then PVE and try not to bunch the two together it puts burdens on both players. Get back to the ship game and players like me might return, this torpedo crap and flying ships are a stupid idea.

I am just trolling ya man, no worries =D i just want the shit removed and lets play a ship game... that is all.

Its ARK 2.0 stop lying guys! Really.... You think they read the reddit posts hating the content? and no pirate type game play left soon?

NIce so uninstalling the game and checking in and i see this poll. Guess i wasnt alone? Right @boomervoncannon lol

Still a bad feature, and very hard to disable. Last time you had to unclick, reclick and add some other weird option to get it to avoid target lock.. OH ya when i use ALT key for discord for push to talk, i had to move it to [ key just give more codes to the hack makers.
