Did you practice your "yes Master, ofc Master, right away Master" ?

Superfun if you build somewhere with ok taxes and the Slavemaster decides to change it at some point. The fact that they even raised that crappy system from 30 to 50% shows how disconnected they are from their own game. I guess it doesnt matter much if you are used to console commands.

The 50% taxes are fun.

Yeah because we are all concerned about taxes on the PTR.... We talk about the live version. No 6x there.

If you dont sit here refreshing the already open page it is not, and the "suggested topics" didnt bring up squat.

I hope thats a joke? I came across an island that had the taxes set to 50%.... The whole master-slave Feudal system is already crap as it is, dont you think 50% taxes is a bit harsh?

No, just pick the ptr branch and you are good to go...

I dont think anyone actually wanted the upcoming PvE changes anyway. Its not even going to be tested, its completely overshadowed by the 2 PvP Type Servers. By the time they figure that out the last PvE Players will have moved on. And as long as the PvP Servers are a console command/cheat/hack fest im not interested in those either.

But probably the active playerbase

They fit right in like the rest of the concept... Companies, feudal slave system, taxes, taming, Dragons, submarines, farming... all very "piratey"... Atlas has no identity. A bunch of ideas taped together.

The whole system is crap... I had at least half the treasures walled in or built over with foundations. The second one is even more annoying because the mobs spawn and you can kill them, but not dig the stupid treasure up. Not to mention the ones that bug because one of the mobs decides not to pop up again for whatever reasons so you have to start over.

Yes, the game lost its momentum. I played it a lot, way too much to be fair. Looking at it now it had way too many bugs and problems and i had to spend way too much time with maintenance. A bit like waking up next to a very ugly person after a long drunken night out. Time to sneak out

If i would come across the game on steam right now, given the ratings and comments, i would most likely not touch it. Of the ones that do a lot wont make it past the 2 hour steam refund time

Yeah i guess the 2 people left will be less of an issue than the 10+ left on PvP It is however a bit scary that they dont seem to have the resources to run the current setup plus a PTR. Especially since its prolly the same virtual setup at Nitrado..

If they keep the feudal Slave System i wont.

The first one was sarcastic, the second one wasnt. Atlas doesnt support large amounts of players on their servers. Just because the Servers say 150 doesnt mean it can host that amount. They buckle with 20+ or earlier. 20 Players on one part of a map is less than old shooters, hell Doom could do more. So yeah, if the game cant handle a large amount it shouldnt be called an MMO. My comment is about the technical limitations of Atlas, not the amount of people that play it currently. And if we would go by that we should call Atlas an "up to 4 Players Coop" game anyway.

Yeah and thats the point. Atlas cant handle anything that comes even close to be MMO worthy. Not sure it counts to have a massive amount of players that quit.

This is as "Sandbox" as it can get, the fact that is has more of a cat litter box atm doesnt change that. Im not sure you can call it a MMO at the moment tho.

Yeah sorry, but im not interested in the PvP part of the game. If you ever manage to sort the current meta and the hacking and console abuse we can talk again. Up until then its PvE or a different game for me, and the longer it takes the Devs to deliver, the lower the chances ill even bother.

That makes the big emphasis on tames even harder to understand. But hey, thanks for clearing that up.r

Yes, if they would have released it as ARK DLC, like it was supposed to be, instead of trying to make it into something it was never intended to be. Having a Pirate on the game cover doesnt make it a Pirate game.

Ofc, it is a lot less fun apparently if you can actually lose stuff and be on the receiving end.

Grievers are happy about raid windows too. Its not like they looking for a fair fight. Im just amazed to see how far the Devs are from reality. Wouldnt hurt them to play their own game once in a while. Then they wouldnt overestimate the "returning" playerbase so drastically.

Or "Slave experience"
