    I also submitted it as a bug and so far no response. Do they ever respond? And if so how long does it typically take?

    They don't reply to those at all. Best case it gets magically set to "resolved" at some point.

    so will this be the first mmo to wipe all progress all the time or is this just an EA thing? i have a tiny bit of hope to play this again as up until the first wipe and the bad claim system afterwards it was a blast. still i will just set 1 foot into this when there is no more wipes.

    When they f**k up (and they do a lot) they wipe and call the next try a new "season". It makes it look like that crap was planned all along and hides the fact, that this game has zero content.

    I am very skeptical, but if this dev team is actually new I will give them the benefit of the doubt but still be very skeptical at the same time. I won’t say they are shit devs until they prove they make shit decisions. 
     

    It does look like they try to go by the playerbases biggest concerns according to Discord. Gold costs for ships are gone for example. Lets see, i am carefully optimistic.

    Jateish and that first community manager i can't remember her name, suddenly stopped logging on the forums and answering us on Discord. We could see they had loads of activity on the Ark social media at this point.

     

    Dollie. It was pretty obvious, that she had no idea about the game whatsoever.

    On one hand the portals offer opportunities to guide gameplay in certain directions. 

    As in "away from Atlas towards other games"? Its an artificial bottleneck, that ruins the servers they are located in. It reduced the once vast feeling map to an experience similar to cruising around in your bathtub. Good choice.

    Stop developing new content THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR and focus on fixing the problems the game still has!

    FTFY 😉 The original map fe was fine. It was part of what made Atlas. The current map with the bottlenecks makes it feel like you cruise around in your bath tub.

    Yeah no kidding, I try to keep an eye on them all the time but lately they have been just vanishing then I find them half a tile away in the middle of the ocean. It wasn't that bad for a few seasons I found but just recently its been a gong show.

    The superlaggy, rubberbandy Servers seem to kick them off again, like they did early in the game. Back then, it was at least because of the Servers being overcrowded. Now it happens on empty Servers. I assume, they heavily downsized the Servers.

     dont play EA / alphas if you can not handle wipes

    i have a feeling that you guys just wanna play and flee reality instead of helping the devs and game to succeed so others can play this game in future because its awesome

     

    It is about how they handle it. The game has gone backwards since release, the "development" (if you can even call it that) is slow and sloppy. I was here at the start when Jat said laughing they arent going to be one of those games that stay EA forever and that they aim for 2 years tops. Didn't quite turn out that way, did it.

    The unlimited island points or the dropping of all tames isnt a minor thing that slipped through the net when they thoroughly tested the changes. They obviously didn't even try once. Same goes for the ladder fix for Cog and Carrack. I mean.. come on. Dont tell you you actually believe, that this game is going into "release" in a playable form ever (and with an actual playerbase).

  9. Nitrado is probably the worst Server-host around. I was wondering in the beginning, how they ever managed to land the "official Server host" gig. It makes sense tho if you think about it. They offer about the same level of support and professionalism as the Atlas Team 😉

    I'm at the point where i'm not doing it again. I may have a look once it reaches actual release, which I cant see happening soon, they seem happy to milk the "Early Access" cash cow.

    The reason i stopped. It is just not fun enough to do it over and over again from scratch. For extra laughs search for Jat's promises about the 2 year max EA 😛  Or the several road maps. Sucks, it had potential.

    Nice job breaking it, heroes.

     

    Server's been up for like 8 hours and mega corps already own chunks of the PvE map with the idea of selling off islands once people have got for like 30-100k a piece. Some zones have 1 company owning all islands.

    The only reason for the update was to make it look shiny and new for another steam sale.

    Lol updates been out lil over a day and everyones crying. No wonder the player base is so toxic. You ppl literally cry iver EVERYTHING!!!!

     

    God help me im surrounded by stupid!

    They threw out another one of their famous "updates" in combination with a steam sale to milk another round of idiots. By the looks of it, you are one of them.

    They sold you a "new" map, which is conveniently smaller (less running costs for them) and silently ditched the NA PvE community and no one cared. They just string you along from one false promise to another, squeezing out as much as possible in the process. Go check the last "roadmap" and their promises. Go check out the "This is the last wipe, promise" posts when they milked the XBox community. Go check out the patchnotes from the last year. A bunch of half assed fixes and ofc.. sorry. they added cats. Yay.


  13. Sorry to break it to you... But they already have your money.

    I agree with all the issues, dont get me wrong. But in a game that lives of Box sales and "dlcs" your type of boycott wont even be recognised as such 😉 

    The whole EA idea is the problem. There are games that used it as intended (Space Engineers f.e) and actually finished the product (and then some). But for most it turned into a way to sell you a concept without any consequences for them.
