there is no chance of growth even if they fix it if the reputation ends up in the shitter

exactly, this is the long-term consequence of grapeshot's decision-making. you can just look at the sub numbers on reddit, they've barely moved since week 2. the gaming community at large knows atlas is a joke and that's not a hole grapeshot is going to be able to dig itself out of

if you leave due to a structure being balanced for raiding then that's a you problem

no, i quit because the devs nerfed my defenses by 2.5x with no warning at 12:30 in the morning, and it wasn't a "me problem"

Solo player. Spent the 2x farming a stone base with two four-layer storage rooms and prefabbing a brig. Woke up, everything was lost to offliners. Not a big surprise when you 2.5x explosive damage to stone in the middle of the night, eh?

Goodbye, Atlas.

Nerf was needed

if you want the rest of the players to leave, i guess

Large bases aren't the reason for the lag, it's not 100% certainty, but it's highly unlikely

Look at how bad Grapeshot's design decisions are and ask yourself whether their code is just as bad or worse. As others have said there's a strong correlation between heavily-built grids and lag with low player counts. I've had a feeling since the first week that they have code which, for each building piece, is visiting every other piece in the same building (or every other piece in range). Apparently the solution isn't to fix their code, but to nerf stone to uselessness...

Great now the stone walls cost is absurd and you made them easier to break down.

Surely that will help people engage in online PvP and not just offline raiding, right? haha

With every patch I lose faith in this game.

this... atlas was a great game at launch but every patch is harder and harder to keep playing

If you were hitting ramshackle sloops they don't give any mats from salvage

wow so black butterfly is still playing but some random says something racist and the banhammer falls real good adminstration grapeshot

This game has a lot in common with launch SWG... incredible potential, and brain-dead developers who can't fix anything and rapidly ruin a good thing.

Guys... We live in the polar region which is the most extreme place to live and this makes it super hard to live here now. We are a small tribe and yet now we have to go find a fountain of youth? Do you guys know how long it takes to sail around and how hostile everyone is? Now at 93 years old its crazy hard to survive here. The age system could be cool but remove the debuffs and work on the reward for getting to the fountain, don't punish players for not having enough time.

pretty sure the optimal solution is gonna be spawn in a freeport and get a ramshackle sloop to get to the fountain

Their reasoning is wrong and they need to admit that instead of buffing general carry weight on elephants and making them the optimal tame for all gathering situations

Not every patch makes the game worse, it adds new problems but certainly doesn’t make the game worse

i'll give you that v14 didn't make the game worse but the patch that added SOTD, the tame nerf, the firearms nerf, now the elephant nerf - patches are not something to look forward to in this game

Please, if there is ANY chance to go back on this decision, please, do it

no chance, devs are crashing this plane with no survivors

Its not all the devs fault a big chuck of this drop is YOU the toxic community

nah dude this is really all the devs fault. terrible launch, each patch makes the game worse, nothing being done about cheating... the community is toxic because the development decisions are toxic

Their level is usually the same as the SOTD's level was (unlike level 1 crew from freeports)

How much damage does the explosive barrel do to stone doors/walls/gates?

Everything in the OP is right on, good suggestions. 

Gems aren't back yet

what ? I dont have the option to open any spout inventory...

Holding E only gives me option to drink from waterspout.  Maybe you're referring to the waterspout that's attached to the reservoir.  We want to fill our water skins by digging.

I get "drink" and "access inventory" from the spouts that come from digging by hand or with a shovel

Hold E, access inventory, place jar/waterskin in spout's inventory

Weird but works

Have you tried sailing since the change? You move at an absolute crawl against the wind, it's barely faster than holding S with your sails retracted. This isn't good for much besides parking

Higher speeds with the wind are good but I don't like the against-the-wind change.

Wondering about this too. I walked a bear onto my boat while it was still in drydock using the ramps but now I'm afraid to take it off
