Will the idea has merit in principle I think a donate button would depress them more than motivate them at present

I'm enjoying the game but feel no need to contribute further funds. If this game had a monthly fee I probably would have cancelled it. 

Perhaps they should have set the initial price higher this might have mitigated the launch woes. 

At some point this will have to be addressed with people leaving the game. 

If their avatar remains in the game despite them having not logged in for months this could theoretically tie up pve land indefinitely. Naturally this is less of an issue on pvp. 

Every issue that comes up results in dozens of threads on the same subject, please please please comment in the threads already started there are already dozens of threads about the following subjects

Stone buildings 

Ships of the damned

Land claims

Developers poor design choices 

Fountain of youth

Taming

Would be great to not drop in and see pages of threads all on the same topic

These systems are not fully implemented yet. Right now its a means to reverse aging and removing the debuff but later it will be the only way, or one of the ways, to avoid Legacy and keep your toon.

Edit: Also, rejuvenation stacks each time you use the fountain 90+. Free stats

I am familiar with the workings if the fountain but deemed it not worthwhile for me as I have a relatively limited amount  of time to devote to the game and the trade off of better stats against enjoyment of my game time didn't make it a worthwhile endeavour for me at that time. 

Conceivably in the future I might reevaluate the trade off but at present the mechanic is something that is irrelevant to me

Makes no sense to me, reached 90, re rolled rejoined my company, back to business as usual without the debuff

I heard sotd are back attacking ships close to shore now, don't know if its true or not, 

Alternative possibility wave action during a storm smashed them against the sea floor. 

Another possible cause is storm damage. 

Another possible cause overweighted players hanging off your ladders or throwing items onto your deck. 

I'm sure there are other possibilities

rubbish nev er been that long unless they have taken the servers down like they did the other day for the server compromise 

You obviously weren't around when some people could play and others were locked out of the game for 12 hours at a time. 

Feel free to search the forums before calling people liars, it will save you from looking like a nob

Not being able to log in for 4 hours? How? And when has this ever happened? Lol. 

 

At least twice to my knowledge, and at least twice to me personally

They said during the Live stream that 2 companies have been banned.  Take that how you will 

I'll take it with a pinch of salt

The system was designed by people who put a cage in game that allows you to imprison other players indefinitely 

Developers who have no inkling of the words professional standards and conduct, are you all high when you expect anything better? 

Same for me

One reply in an hour, that's a fair indication of low interest. 

Its also an indication that all the waaah cheats waaaaaah exploits waaaah bad pings from overseas is a storm in a tea cup. 

The money would be provided by the 200 or so members of the consortium. 

I don't believe this is difficult to achieve 

So I was thinking at work today, to fully represent the game world of atlas on private servers would require at most 225 servers

I am envisioning a server consortium run by a group of people interested in running the full game world, only with admins actually interested in removing cheats and zero tolerance for hacking. 

Needless to say these servers would be Region locked. 

Would there be any interest in this?

Rafts do NOT reverse.  You can hold the S key until you die of old age and it will do nothing.  Actual ships, yes.  Rafts, no.

Well there you go you learn something new every day, simple solution, add s key functionality to rafts, problem solved, alternatively build a ramshackle sloop instead.

So every shipyard in the game is designed to be perfect raftcatchers, and since rafts have a horrible turnradius, once you realize you're heading fo one it's often too late to avoid it, or you have to choose between leaving the raft where it is or ramming it into one. Not as annoying for me after i more or less stopped using rafts, but now my own shipyards get random rafts stuck in them instead. Any thoughts? Possible to change raft mechanic and/or shipyard design? Allow rafts to reverse perhaps?

Close your sails completely hold down s key your boat ship raft will slowly start to reverse can be done with any ship I believe 

But yes the buttresses on the shipyards are a pain

While I understand your point I would hazard a guess that it's no difficult feat to sink a wooden boat with an axe, does it really matter if a sickle is used? 

But then I expect you are advocating that it should be harder to sink ships with hand tools. 

Only 30% tax!

I find the stone buildings to be rather unsightly, well that's putting mildly, I think they are an eyesore. 

I don't build with stone because of this. 

There are premade buildings around the atlas world that look a million times better, a12 for example. 

Once you have the important things working perhaps you should have another look at the artwork for player structures. 

Read the forums since I'm at work

If you use fire arrow (easiest way) you should know that a direct hit won't do shit (ye i know it make no fucking sense but whatever, it's how it work), you actually need to aim at their feet so it light a fire under them (most of the time they will walk on it if you aim close enough).

 

I needed someone to explain and show me, that's why i take a few minute to post here.

*puts finger to lips* ssssh don't mention this again or they will nerf it

I think we are misunderstanding each other. Not to worry enjoy your day 

I'm in complete agreement with the dislike of the aesthetic of this buildings 

Atlas is a gorgeous game and these do spoil the view. 

This was done no doubt to address wild animals you are fighting that heal up to full health while you are still fighting them. 

If this has had a knock on effect for tamed animals that's unfortunate, perhaps and increase to the health pool of tamed animals would be the solution?
