Totally agree with you, this game should be more about piracy and less about farming.

You missed all the farming in the trailer

Thats a really good idead, they should definetly be more rare with with much better loot quality instead.

Yes the patch did not affect the damned ships at all, they are all over the places.

yes i know, even though they advertised it as a pirate mmo...

Could not say it better.

I do not want to be offensive to you but looking at the amount of time you have invested into ark its pretty safe to assume that you are a hardcore gamer, thus its just natural for you that the grind feels like nothing. however, atlas should not be as said be about the grind like in Ark but instead more about the adventure. Moreover, not everyone has the protection of a large company, so loosing stuff is much more common and getting things together much harder to achieve.

this is more or less a test run to see how the cummunity responds to less grind, and adapt the harvesting ratio accordingly. may i ask how many hours do you have in ark and with how many others do you play atlas?

I am pretty sure they will keep the harvesting bonus or or set it up again after positive feedback from the community, but probably not at x2.5 ratio. This game is not Ark so it should also not have the same grinding timespans.

now they just need to fix this point as well

Yes they definetly need to do that. it just happened.... it feels like the devs were watching this thread.

they do, it says worked 10h and sunk in 5 minutes, thats a complaint about the the timespan. Just as i said above the amount of work you have to put in to the game just to get stuff destroyed in a few minutes is not balanced at all yet. so either increase resource output/lower the grind or increase the durability of our stuff, in order to increase the overall experience of this game.

So it should be no problem to increasing the farm ratio output, since there are apparently mechanisms preventing the servers from crashing or lagging even with more ships on the map then usual.

Atlas should have the capacity to handle a good amount of ships on their servers, after all they have advertised that they can have 40k players on one map. So they can not keep their promises or what? And why do we have dozens of ghost ships roaming in the sea then, they should cause a hell of a lag.

And i am telling you it is a problem.

Selling the community on private servers to make this game playable is not a solution. The Devs needs to solve these problems on their platforms to secure the long-term success of this game. thats what they are working for after all.

just increasing the farm ratio output by x2 or x2 would be already enough to balance it.

This game needs to lower its grind to make it fun, Atlas was promoted as a pirate game with many adventures and obviously piracy. Instead, the game feels like a farm simulator. I have been building up a ship together with my company for about 1 week just to get it sunk by ghost ships within 5 minutes. The ratio of how much work you need to put in to make everything work and how fast everything can gets destroyed is not balanced yet. either lower the grind or increase the durability of our stuff, in order to increase the overall experience of this game.
