Emeralds under the water near the Powerstone island, as well had one of the oils down there and a few other things I cant remember, I was just speed picking through to see what was there because, its scary down there.. stopping would been a baaad thing.

Think they added the 10 lvl 1 in company at a time so people couldn't sit there spam buying them in bulk and causing issues. buy ten, level them up 1 time, buy ten more.

Lol this Post has made me google this since, mid 1600 to mid 1700's (the golden age of piracy) seems to be a thing here in Atlas.

How Fast Did Ships Travel in the 1700s?

The speed of ships in the 1700s depended on the wind, but averaged about 4 to 5 knots, with the ability to reach 20 knots. In its life of 8 to 10 years, a ship would typically embark on four or five voyages.

So, your fully loaded CARGO sailed ship is actually pretty fast even at 11, after..erm.. all! heh heh

Anyone remember and if you were around its only been a handful of months now when, A ship in Atlas wouldn't budge if It was against the wind,  at all?

heh, my group on the last unofficial server set the mutes to ignore group whistles after a couple of OOPs.

The one with the pretty lights is under the water (mermaid city)

And, so looks like there is a patch for beds and landscape and stuff, anyone confirm that they are in working order

I have seen mythical bp that when crafted, end up with a 0% crafting bonus (out of a crafter who has all his intel buffed up) and 100% damage before, Its a real weird RNG.

I though that in Ark, it actually gave you a better chance for a mutation to happen.. the mutations were actually usually a bonus (higher stat, crazy color) sorta thing. No idea how far Atlas takes that into consideration.. Have bred bears n mass, all started with a single pair, no new blood introduced until near the end of my breeding program and got several stat mutations in level more than the others but, hey, I wasn't complaining.

Hey, pirates aint idiots  I mean, They are rumored  the ones that started putting lime in their grog to prevent scurvy first.

*further thought! Maybe the OP is more of a Navy Man or Trader at heart, and you know they are all about those spreadsheet and numbers.

I had not bothered with more than 2 crates myself, I mean.. there is only soo much gathering to be done in a setting for me. I find this thread interesting.

Well, while I play Atlas and don't run up against things that would make me want to quit Atlas as a game. I DID quit playing Official Atlas  because, of the cheats other players were exploiting to stay ahead (they were not playing the game as its meant to be played).. So, yeah..  Other players made me quit official And until the devs can get a handle on that.. I will avoid official play for evah. heh. Not saying they are not working on it, They have patched and reworked a LOT of things as players were found exploiting them. But, unless they can get to the point of a full lock down of it, I just cant do it. lol.. BUGS is the game don't bother me, report them and keep going. Players who find the bug then use them against me, bothers me, and if those players who find and use a bug/exploit instead, of reporting them so they can be fixed. are not removed from the gameplay soon after, bugs me even more.

Sry this game looks like a cheap copy of wow, gw and aion.

Am still trying, after 10 hours to find the relation of Ark and Atlas to those games..

Oh! you can break rocks in wow too, got it!

I have lost a total of 1 crewmember to a wild beast on land.. and have been playing since Jan.  I think RNG loves me or maybe, I keep them safe behind stone  walls with a buffer short wall, cuz of the pesky Cobra poking heads in.

BTW: Grapeshot fix your game! My crew members all agro on a BULL.. low level as well.. and it got one before it went down.  my fault though, I hit it while harvesting fiber and had them set on neutral, hanging out in an off duty shed, nearby.  Still FIX your game  

I have had crew members mutiny before though, on login same as your baby dying on it.  but, was on multi play so the short time I was out of game, the time was still going for them in game.

Yeah, I hope they find a way to get more fish to spawn, with out an over spawned server load   it is a task on starter areas, and since there are many that have no or very few fish.. its rough.  I will try fishing net   Nope island has many many fish.. and mermaids and sharks and crabs  to go along with them  fish. lol.

Unofficial servers like to wipe every month or so to keep their servers up to date with the new additions to main game. I am use to wipes, nothing is forever

 Cricket, huh.. tweeting that news out right now! Thanks, smiling bloody person!

Cricket Sucks!
Reliable source commented that, The world famous cricket player Realist may have time to play Atlas now after an unfortunate comment he posted on the PlayAtlas.com caused many of his sponsors to his Cricket fame, to back out of their contracts.

More as the story unfolds!

Uh.. You would need a modded version from ark to use in Atlas.. for many things.

Ok all you that know the knowing in here.  Someone is asking on Steam forum about why their cannons on the sips are not working.  Went through the noramal stuff but, The have screenshots showing Yellow X above the gunports (top view).. What does a Yellow X mean.. seen red x before but, not noticed yellow.. lol

REDACTED! seems the player was doubleclicking R each time so the doors were closing by the time they went to fire.

More building options   and not the kind of building people would use to make stronger pvp minded gated and honeycombed ugly box builds  but,  immersion minded stuff. would be my choice there. I am certain that they are all ready working on most of the others or at least have the idea to add them over time.

More beasts to play with? Sure, not harmful and always a fun hobby.

More ship designs? Sure, why not.

New weapons? Eh, don't see a problem with that. Having at least one option to counter something is nice, I love the new harpoon for instance.

Anti cheat and taking care of exploiters, don't see why they would not be trying to catch that one.

Content is what you make of it in your playground of possibilities.  I will say it and say it again.. RP servers are the best servers for creating content within this huge playground.

Do agree though, They need to focus on a direction and start piling up the content and adding those props because those that like to do theatre and create their own emersion on stage, are only a small percent of your average kids on the playground  and even bullies get tired of beating up the same kids every day.

I actually would love to see them add some Royal Navy content, even a made up Faction for it, not an earth historical one, in (current state of the world as apposed to ancient state of what it once was). So far the game just doesn't pop as being Alive beyond the players.

The only thing that stirs the imagination even a little  are the static finds, the shipwrecks and The random buildings you may find.. Same thing.

I don't see them and really think, What happened here.. instead , I think.. Oh , another randomly placed asset...  It would be nice to add to those static objects.. Give each of them a story and one that is more Current than the "pre-history of the world".  That's what the explorer notes did for Ark.

After the Pirate encampments are in and if they turn out to work real well.

1. New boss/dungeon. A Pirate one with the boss as the Captain.

2. Just more humanoids/Npc in general. Rather they have a function or not. Just makes the world seem more alive.  Stick "Bob the retired" at one of the abandoned pre build shacks in the world. Maybe a random sketchy looking Npc, creeping around the ship wrecks with a  fat loot pouch on his back..  little things like that, even if they do not have an actual function currently.  Maybe in the future, Make it so Bob will exchange goods with you or Creeper guy "will give you a deal on a hat" 1 single hat cosmetic :P donno, just along those lines.. lol

Solo play is not possible?

I have been on SP for two days now..

Think someone hit it on the dot up there. Sounds like you want it to be an entirely nother  game?

Its unlike anything out there but, it would be better if it had this thing here, like that other game and was shorter when you did this,  just like yet another game and oh... lol  People are very use to games where you die and respawn at check points or have easy access to your stuff, warp points to bip bop around, insta well.. anything really. eh, I like it for what it is.. A take it at your own pace survival, sandbox, open world, exploration, building.. creating..

Everything in the game you can counter.. You just have to play the game and use what is there ..  I mean temps and vitamins and  aggressive beasts.. sotd , storms and hydra and cyclops and.. included.. Though Fire Elementals still scare me lol. Most everything has its weak spot.

Multi play, the only thing out there that can always get you, even if you do use the tools the game gives you is... other players   srsly.

People keep abusing the " difference of opinion" explanation for antics that are out right harassing and threatening when provoking others into things. Its childish (and the kind of child a parent needs to step in and correct) no matter how old you are.  I  do see something wrong with that tweet and it isn't Jat's  reactions.

yeah, they really need to get that settled, maybe after a few more wipes.     I do understand some will not bother since they know wipe is coming, now... but I bet many more will do things not related to building.. take more chances than they would otherwise, exploring,  attacking people they normally wouldn't in fear of retaliation and losing stuff,  attempting fights of pve npc's they normally wouldn't.. I mean its like you have 3 weeks of, nothing to lose so yolo

Besides, many players will hit then game just after the wipe, to get a foothold and an island  before they are all taken. I play a lot of unofficial, I am use to wipes, I enjoy then now.  A fresh start on a clean map to build "bigger and better" in a new location, applying all the things I learned from the first time.  that sorta vibe. heh.

Expect more wipes to come before it is a finished game.  People, like you are the only reason many of us have to suffer through not have em more often. lol.

They really should maybe wipe every month while they are still implementing several changes to the game to clear out the old leftovers.  imo

Do have a question though... Has there been an actual use of the throwing knives, discovered? They seem kinda pointless to me. lol
