Carnotaurus

i'm back to ark but i still check the news here. This new roadmap sounds good, a lot of aspects that can change the game in a very good way. Let's see if it will be all right when put into practice. 

Until there, my pirate outfit is resting... maybe I can use it again someday! 

I have been playing atlas since its launch, in december. About a month ago, I started joining the game just to refresh the structures and feed the animals. I can't say that the game was not good, I played for several months and I believe I paid little for it. The game has potential, but I always get the impression that I'm in a mere shadow of Ark, that there I could be having more fun. The theme, the bosses, the fights, everything fits better than here. I understand that Atlas is still under development, guess just my patience has run out for now.

I believe that ATLAS can still improve a lot if the developers want it to, by creating an identity to the game, something to establish a solid theme (more ship/sea content, less animals and taming). I destroyed my island's claim flag, so other people can enjoy a new land to conquer.

Back to my Carnos...

Working as intended.

Unfortunately, this was already foreseen and now causes even more problems for those who built few pillars to legitimately protect a place, everyone will end up doing this. Griefers to continue their acts, and legit players to protect their things. More structures to increase the lag. 

Thank you for this rematch! 

Company: Ar

Ship: Brig, 16 cannons.

Players: 2

Hope we don't get kicked from the commanding stations this time.

Thanks for organizing it  Sadly i got kicked and clipped out of the boat at the start (and shot into the sky), so i didnt get it. Id be happy to join in on the next one, ill keep an eye on the forum.

Yeah, that happened to me and my company mate when the kraken was about half life. We didn't get it. Hope we can try another time in the future. 

Now we can use those weight sails... 

Hello, we would like to join the fight! A brig is ready, with two players.

I still believe in Atlas, just don't know for how long...

true...was playing daily and having a blast. now it's all kinda meh. sure the old system had it's flaws but this all can build everywhere is worse and no more claim flags, no more territory msges, no more nice flags...meh too.

would have been better to fix the old system as it was quite solid just had some flaws....maybe just an upkeep and/or decay for unused claims and a remove of the tax system on PvE...i mean i gladly play tax on PvP to someone who uses it for defense like whe had it on PvP but if i played on PvE i would be salty about itcuz it doesn't make sense there at all.

everything wiped on top...meh again

i will try to get into it again after the wipe but somehow i do not think we will have a super high population a few weeks after the patch and very likely a lot will not play again that played until now.

I feel exactly the same way about playing the game now.

About the claims, the old system wasn't that bad, it just need some fixes.

U sure?

What if the Claimer is the griefer itself?

What if the Claimer dont care about the griefer?

What if the Claimer can not keep up / is not willing to keep up with the griefer?

All thats a fully griefed island, instead of parts of an island.

Add pillars inside the ground to that list and you have a big mess of an island. Large plots of "insecure" lands. 

Lots of good ideas already! 

I'm just going to reinforce one of them: Giraffes should gather thatch at improved rates.

Interesting news, hope you achieve  good results. Looking forward to see those changes in game. 

This is my biggest concern while playing this game. I'ts not easy to build a good base and big ships with a couple players. it takes some time! The idea of losing everything to a random guy on a raft while you're offline is horrendous, to say the least! I really hope they make a better system, otherwise this game is just a waste of time, at all. The lack of good explanation about the system make it even worse, nobody knows exactly what happens with this broken system...

This is really a frustating situation. Something like this happened to me today, but I was able to stop their claiming by coming back to my single territory using the bed respawn. Left my sloop alone (middle of the sea), died just to prevent some dude to steal all my work, then died again to return to my ship.  

This system is really bad & confusing, hope they make a better one asap.
