i think there is just one good reason to play official pvp = you like combat at all times (+2k h exp) solo player was super boring for me but pve was somewhat ok if you found a decent spot to build...

you guys do know that there are player or resource trackers for atlas? a google search might help... one example: https://atlas-world.net/home

i will checkout the current state of atlas after the wipe but im pretty pessimistic... that said is it still possible to store your tames in a freeport?

well i think if you just build small boxes/houses for beds out of wood/stone and spread them around nobody bothers to claim that... sure some might destroy the door and kill the bed but thats easy to rebuild... just for storage you can do the same but as said hidden somewhere for double "dodge cannons + detection" protection...

still dont fully understand how this system works BUT it seems to be super easy to steal anything on lawless... what happens if you build stone walls/gates around the tower to protect it? idk but it looks like hiding your stuff is the best way to go instead of building a big fortress...

one of the more frustrating things if you choose an island to settle down... if you can not find metal nodes or if they are on top of the mountain... if the tames you want "early bear" or "late elephant" are xx grids away... most of the time i just try to find an island where the most heavy resources are easy to get... oil or similiar light stuff can be shipped... can you still put tames in freeport with your gold? the sad thing is you could still kill the tames in a freeport...

how does the claim system work atm? lets say you build up a base on a random island after the wipe and somebody claims that island... can that guy just demolish all your stuff? still like that?

i wont tell how i protect my stuff and i have to agree that the game should not be played like that... that is not true but adds more protection if it looks like that i gues... protected my stuff like that while in large companies and also solo... farmed rare resources or gold... even in war my stuff was pretty safe... stupid but it works...

The Armored Dock is a structure built in shallow water to dock a ship inside of. It must be destroyed before the ship can be damaged. so putting too much weight on a ship is no thing anymore? (also to stay afk and hidden on a ship with a million ton of weight) ive seen some twitch streams on PVE showing me some shady stuff... https://www.twitch.tv/elementallegion/clip/ViscousMistySkunkAliens?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=time

just last season? i did play since day 1 and it was never not laggy/buggy... xD well considering an armored dock to protect your ship is a waste of time for small companies or solo players... same is true for a stone fort to protect your tames even if you put 1000 puckles around and inside of it... that said if you have the time to grind +8h a day and have an active company with 24h shifts sure then you can enjoy larger ships that maybe do not get sunk overnight... the state of this game is kinda sad but i still play it from time to time...

that it should be no issue is true but it has not changed since when? well 5k gold for a schooner is also a joke...

you can not protect your ship or tames as solo player but you can protect everything else... even if you are in a large company it is pretty hard to protect ships and tames... pretty confused about the gold cost of ships as it is super fun to build ships... aslong as this stays i never build something larger than a sloop... (actually i do not enjoy sailing cuz it takes so long but the fights were fun) personally i think that if you can not get over it and insist on playing solo -> go play pve harsh words? actually even if you would be able to claim land "as solo or -5 player company" any other player or company would strip you just for fun... IF all ships + tames etc would be safe as soon as you are offline the whole server would be cluttered/stressed... players tend to build xxx ships and tame xxx creatures...

probably just lawless...

what for are the numbers next to the resources? how many nodes? anyways thx thats a start... maybe the devs should include a map like this ingame... sure they might say "but but we want you to explore" but why force us to tab the game and look it up on an external site?

well i gues if i ever dive deeper into atlas again i will never build a ship bigger than a sloop... :s

well if you think so you have much to learn about the game... turrets and npc are just a waste of resources...

well there are multiple ways to get started... i did jump into atlas "again" during the holiday buff on a lawless island... built up a stone base without ship or tames "cuz you can not protect those" and never got raided... why? cuz i know what ive to do to protect my stuff... 1. you could have built a sloop with wood walls and door to protect your bed 2. hide your bed somewhere if you build no walls around it 3. if you spawn on lawless try to not attack large animals "get hide of sheep, chicken, pig etc" and avoid predators 4. you can not protect your ship or tames no matter what if you are offline and if you are on it is still pretty hard (no towers, fortifications or npc will change that fact) 5. learn how to stay alive and be efficient 6. if you need help ingame msg me

is there a way to get some infos like where to get various resources etc? (not talking about wiki cuz it is half empty) did run around on like 8 islands in different zones "tropical, desert, tundra and temperate" and did not find any metal nodes for example... i know how they look...

actually if you know what you are doing your base "even solo" is pretty safe... however if you are a solo player there is no way to protect your ship or tames... ive +2k hours in atlas and did play during the holiday buff to check the new stuff...

do you really think there are enough active people left that this will be a problem with decay active?

i did not quote you elrod... i just think it is kinda without words to say players quit in 1-2 hours cuz they do not like a survival mmo and cuz of that the devs should adjust the game and dumb everything down... ok he does not like bonus we and a lot of other players do like it so what? id say most players quit cuz of the terrible performance but thats just my opinion...

i think this thread is kinda hilarious... atlas is a survival mmo and even if it wasnt there will always be a huge gap between casuals and no lifers or solo/small group vs large group... if you remove certain elements you get humilated with skill and if that is not possible nobody would buy the game cuz it would be boring... that said what is your goal in a mmo like atlas? as i started i did not care at all about what large companies did and dwelled on lawless thinking im mighty with plate and carbine vs animals... specially if you choose to play pvp instead of pve... sink ships and destroy stuff without consequences and get everything for free? all i can say about this is... delusional+ignorant... probably does not matter anymore in the current state of the game as you can basically solo on official pretty easy...

throw... reason = you waste a lot of time if warriors glitch into the mountain or fall down and you can not use tames to speed it up...

well there are islands without any berries and mess tables feed npc crew all food... i think that is a pointless limitation for silo's and also for the flag's...

btw why can you just put berries into silo's and not every food?
