well most companies do not care about controlling 100 islands as it is a mess to defend and sustain even without upkeep... atm it is easy enough to ignore the upkeep cost on one island that is your mainbase for a big company if they split up in divisions... in most cases companies merged and had control over a ton random islands that way cuz of inactivity of players... probably impossible to keep a base on lawless on the first ptr patch but we will see...

same for the upkeep cost of islands... just split your company in divisions and ignore the upkeep...

Secondly, since ATLAS launched as an Early Access title, there have been a number of bugs, exploits, and patches made to the game that have had a significant impact on the state of the persistent world. A number of players have benefited or have suffered grievances due to these various since-fixed issues, whether they were taking advantage of crafting exploits, alpha babies, duping, or had their boats sunk by Gatling Ship of the Damned. As such, being a game that is focused on players building an empire, claiming and ruling over what’s theirs, and being the hero or villain they were meant to be; we believe that a wipe is necessary to put everyone back on an even playing field. Furthermore, we’ve been a little more soft in some cases when it came to players taking advantage of these game exploits. After the first wipe has taken place in March, that will no longer be the case. We will still prioritize fixing issues/bugs/exploits, so we encourage you to work with us when you’ve discovered something that could be exploitable. That is our mandate, fixing and resolving game problems, however we’ll be taking a more firm stance against the serious cases where a company has used an exploit without coming forward which could result in company-wide and or alliance-wide punishments.

my gtx 1060 6gb sits on 50-60% use most of the time = atlas is way more cpu intensive as it is gpu intensive... 100% use for a gpu is normal cuz it uses its full potential but 100% cpu use is bad...

is it that hard to fix that animals,npc, players on bed port etc falling through ceilings or wild animals glitching through walls? if it is stuck on a ship you can at least port it to another ship...

not just you several people can not log in... at least i can not log in eu pvp but na pvp works just fine...

1. buff weight sails by 50-100% and let handling sail rotate 360° -it is still all about speed sails and nerfing them is no solution as sailing is already slow if there is no wind anyways... 2. change the color of the cross that marks you on a map for better visibility and adjust ally territory color for better visibility -should be self explanatory... 3. buff melee weapons like swords and maybe adjust the skilltree to add faster swings and more dmg swings -firearms outshine melee weapons by a large margin for multiple reasons so it should be scary if you get hit by a melee weapon... do we really need aoe or parry if duels are basically no thing? 4. add something like transforming olives to oil and similiar stuff under cooking more coming soon...

to nerf speed sails sounds terrible cuz if you have no wind you are sitting on sea for ages and it is already slow as **** anyways no matter the sails...

so what would be a change that buff weight sails to be on almost equal to speed sails? -removing the slowing down penalty according to max sail count -even more weight -suggestions???

there is a reason why the decay has to be so crazy at freeport but the countless bugs like glitching through walls and ceilings and various skills or items sitting there underpowered "weight sails" for example could be fixed...

well the big bases still habe like 100k gold and tons of npc on cannons or guns...

well this game is built around sailing and battle on sea so building large bases should be a small part and piracy as you have experienced is the main part i gues...

tbh for foundations it would be fine i gues to prevent floor spam but most islands aswell as lawless are already spammed with floors and large stone gates... so yea wood is the way to go now?

ok had to ask a buddy to send me the whole folder and copy&paste it there... that worked and im in game now...

as you can see on this screenshot this file is locked and wont let me update/play atlas... already resetted winsock and restartet pc and reinstalled atlas (4 hour download) and reinstalled steam on a different drive (but dont know how to access already installed games) but nothing works... just happened with the latest update... i run no firewall or anything that blocks steam or any game and it just happens with atlas... tried to google locked files on steam but this is a needle haystack search... nice i gues till this is fixed all my stuff is demolished and faded away...

specially if you up the rate to 2x and negate it that way...

are you kidding? thats not the way you nerf stone gates or buildings as a ton are already built... multiple islands are naked cuz of this and that way you are forced to log off as there is no point to play if you can not farm or build... not really logical if theys up the rates 2x and negate it that way...

well i gues there is no point to play till they fix this cuz if you stay in freeport the decay will get any ship you buy even if you repair it and if you hopp server booom...

tried to sail in another region with my ramshackle sloop and it blew up as soon as server was switched with no sea monster of anything in sight that could have destroyed it... the ship was on full health and fully loaded with mats... well thats the 5th ship i lost after switching servers... 4 raft by server crash and decay or random attack cuz not able to reconnect and 1 sloop randomly without any reason...

shouldn't turtles give fish aswell? (i know they do not) atm it is way easier to just kill yourself instead of managing vitamins... tbh if you do not start in a cold area it is pretty easy to get a raft and a bed on it but to sail away and find an island to build on is next to impossible if you do not join a company...

shouldn't turtles give fish aswell? (i know they do not) atm it is way easier to just kill yourself instead of managing vitamins...

i dont want to save those rafts from decay i just built that many cuz i was unable to get to another island and there was nothing else to do... all i want is find an island where i can build and now with that mats buff i dont even care about all other rafts...

no place where i did not lose my raft even if i did not enter an island... thats why im stuck on on freeport with like 10 rafts full with mats unable to progress...

genius idea i would have never thought of that possibility to kill myself and try to spawn on my raft next to that island... it does not work... gone cuz the decay will kill the raft if im not able to repair it till stuff like that is fixed... -_-

if there is really more decay at freeport and ships decay in a few hours ill point to the problem that some people are unable to sail to other islands and build there...
