Wait so you played ARK, knew it was a "copy and paste" and would have issues and then also tell someone to stop crying yet you buy Atlas and all you have done yourself is cry about stuff in Atlas. Amazing.

This post just shows what is wrong with the gaming community these days, ya'll way too easy to be swayed by other peoples opinions instead of making your own mind up about stuff. The majority of what you cried about was expected from the get go, especially considering it's the very first few builds of an early access title, did you honestly expect it to A) Be a smooth launch and B) Not have balance issues? Nobody cares if you have a thousand hours in ARK, this is about Atlas and everything you have complained about you should have expected before you even considered buying the game. I highly recommend never buying an EA game again if this is your reaction. As for the rest of your post it's nothing but YouTubers doing what they do best, posting a popular opinion about a popular game to get views / money. You're probably one of the kids that is sitting in their discord for hours on end spamming copy and paste BS instead of just doing something else that's actually productive. Edit: Pointless even replying to this child anyway looking at his past posts, claims he knew the game would be a "copy and paste" of ARK and not work properly, tells people to stop crying about stuff yet goes ahead and buys Atlas anyway and proceeds to cry about everything.

Log out in your claimed area, if you haven't build there and don't have a spot to log out then it's your own fault for being greedy. We have a small company that owns %90 of our island and has built on one tiny part, made it my mission to piss him off as much as possible until he gives up the unused land or flags get changed, they're ruining the game for so many people, it took me hours to finally find a place to claim and it's an awful spot but it is better than sailing around for another 6+ hours trying to find somewhere else. In your case that's your own fault for not logging off in the area.

After grinding all day fighting the snow, bugged wolves and a alpha (why the fuck are alphas even in this game) snake we lost our sloop in under 5 minutes due to 3 Dammed ships spawning and circling any potential exit point. A) 1 ship of dammed per square at this point of the games life is more than enough. B) Why do they spin in circles with perfect precision no matter where the wind is? C) Way too much damage and almost perfect accuracy D) Shouldn't be targetting small ships unless fired upon E) Unrelated but remove damn alphas, this isn't ARK they simply have no place in this game, the islands are too small so they just wander around demolishing everything and fix predators like wolves and lions, we spent an hour trying to get rid of a pack of wolves that were attacking the base walls for no reason.

Firstly thank you for working tirelessly over Christmas, couldn't have been easy with all the negative people about but to a lot of people the changes haven't gone unnoticed so thank you. A few bits of feedback: 1. Ship of Dammed are still an issue, they are not as many since the last update but they do still seem to spawn in clusters and I have just seen this fellow hugging my island https://i.imgur.com/ddDXLdj.jpg 1b. The loot crates you added in alongside the dammed are spawning way too frequent also, might want to drop those a little as it's easy pickings. 2. Metal, whilst I appreciate it shouldn't be easy to get I do think it's a little bit underwhelming that using a metal pick doesn't really improve the chance from normal rocks (Yet to actually see a metal node and trying to find one early game without a ship is not worth the time, it would be faster to hit "normal" rocks for metal) especially when you include the price of repairing the pick it works out more cost efficiant to stick with the primitive pick than actually using a metal one, a bit strange. Why are the freezing areas not the hot spot for metal? The only benefit to the cold island is people haven't spammed the flags as much due to dying every 3 minutes from the cold, other than that from what I have seen there is zero benefit to fighting the elements and living there. 3. Wolves are a nightmare, we've abandoned countless islands due to their over aggresive nature, their aggro range is insane and they plow through islands killing everything in their path, luckily we have some bears around which deal with them for the most part but without them there it would be an absolute nightmare. 4. Fortitude, just like in ARK the fortitude stat seems completely useless, I pumped every skill point into it and in comparison to a friend who had zero points invested there was no difference. 5. Claim flags are ridiculous, there is simply no need for one person or even 5 people to have more than one claim down, it doesn't matter what island you go to you will see flags spammed EVERYWHERE and %98 of the time there will be zero buildings. Honestly I think starting the game with a claim flag, an unlimited one at that, is just not a well thought out mechanic, it should be something you work towards, an end game goal to establish the area you have built on as a "town" ready to accept others / open their doors to guests or something along those lines. 5b. PvE Claim flags, I've opted to play PvE whilst issues get sorted for a more..relaxed experiance. However the claim spam is the exact same, the only difference is you can't really do much about it, the island I somehow managed to find a patch of land on (freezing cold making my death count in the thousands) has been claimed entirely by a company of 2 people, nothing can be done as they just log off inside their base meaning this whole island is now useless to new players. I've since made it my mission to declaim everything and open the island back up to people just to stop these douchebags, but it's sad to see even in a PvE server that people are still being greedy with claim flags just because they can. Claim solution? Declaim everyones flag that doesn't have a base on it, this will solve the issue whilst avoiding a wipe. There's probably more that i've forgot to say but just thought i'd put in my 2 cents whilst it was -15 ingame.
