Current copy paste of the stats

21,748
24-hour peak

58,788
all-time peak

Now don't try to tell me unofficial isn't counted cuz this just counts whoever has the Atlas app running in their Steam client, and as far as I know Atlas is only available on Steam and u need to run it through Steam to connect to an unnoficial server as well.

Here is the Steam stats from their in Steam stats page, it gives them a couple thousand extra players but still it's a horrible statistic.

Right currently Atlas isn't even in the top 50 of most played Steam games with even a Wallpaper engine app being more popular in terms of "players" than an one month + old game that was overhyped and overpromised, 40k players on a world, u can even split up the nearly 12k players on a Saturday over 4 official servers and unofficial, no wonder the game get's easier, nobody is playing more land is available alot of real players left the game as it is. Ark lost players to Atlas which in return totally quit Ark & Atlas all together if u compare the charts. Even Ark's EA phase was far better than Atlas in terms of players that kept playing it, even now it's out of EA it's even performing poorer than the EA times, if Atlas goes the same way in terms of players when reaching final development stage u'll all be cruising around on empty grids with a ping of 75 cuz that's just how it is right now.

No, it doesn't.  Weather conditions affect game charts. The day of the week, the hour of the day, whether a major city is dealing with a blackout, a war... I can give you a thousand things that can affect a game chart and not one of them have anything to do with the devs or even the playerbase for that matter.  It could lose players simply because the company stops an advertising campaign. Games gain and lose players all the time and there is no one single metric you can point to and say... AH HAH! That's why. EVERYONE left because of THAT!

Does the trend show that this game is losing players? Yes. Is it because of the dev's, we don't know and there's no way to prove it. A lot of people, myself included, buy a game, play it for a while and decide, "naaa... I'm going back to my old game."  And that may be exactly what's happening here. You don't know and neither does the OP.

Furthermore, the charts in the op are not comparing apples to apples.  It's trying to explain how badly this game is failing by comparing it to a long established game and that is not an accurate comparison.  My chart however, compares the launch of NMS to Atlas and that IS a fair comparison.

Looks like this one has all the doomsayers riled up. They're pulling statistics out of their ass and trying to match them to their own warped opinions.

*waves his dead chicken in the air and yells, "OOOGA BOOGA"*

The reasoning u are taking here is that there would be a huge amount of players in case a blackout or weather would affect the amount of players, in this game it's not the case, here it's each and every new cuckup by the devs that makes more players leave the game. Even with the most recent patches as if from today they are not really addressing the major complaints people are discussing in here. You think I'm just cherrypicking with these charts, go look at them right now, it's Saturday, we had nearly above 20k players this night and right now there are about 6-7k players online thanks to their last patch that came out hours ago. So stop calling us doomsayers, look at the charts, u say it isn't fair to compare it to long established games? Make your own comparison then and use EA games or what not, I mainly wanted to compare Ark & Atlas but someone said: Hey Ark is in the top steam charts so it can't be that bad right? Just look at the damn graphs, other games improve over time and make a steady flow of players who keep returning. In Ark they fucked up with their latest expansion and with Atlas they fucked up since the start, how else do u explain that a game loses nearly 80% of it's playerbase in the time of a month? Considering we had nearly 60k players at peak times and now in a weekend where in most places in the world except Australia it's terrible weather we get 6-20k players online, it's a fail and it will stay a fail, they are not addressing the right concerns of the players, they are not listening to us either. They pretend that they are listening to us now with some promises but I will assure you those promises won't be kept cuz they are gonna ruin the game even further before they even address our concerns.

I'll give u comparison from those games in the top so much on Steam, excluded TF2 cuz of space issues and it being a free game. Now the games in this list are listed on all time graph.

I guess pictures say more than words, but here is just a clear line showing how much these "devs" are pissing people off over time.

So I logged in today after 10 days of not touching the game, seems my land claim was taken cuz with their latest update sleepers no longer contests claimed flags, now for this being my own fault is ok, I wasn't online for 10 days but what I noticed was that there were only 15 players online, the ping was still 80+ and I will check again in 10 days. What my biggest concern is now that sleepers no longer contest, players who had land claims who aren't able to play every single day or don't have a big company that is nearly always online are gonna lose their land claims pretty quickly now. The only upside is with each patch they lose about 500-1000 players and they patch alot so it won't take that many weeks before I maybe start "playing" again and just claim what there is to claim, since what else is there to do besides naked runs on end game content.

So this morning the total amount of people on Steam who were playing/running Atlas were sub 10k, divided over 4 official 'wannabe" 40k players servers + unofficial. I guess there is a lot of land to claim now with their latest announcements, too little to late imo.

Day 9 towels log: Still no sight of Captain Jat, shit ...

Wouldn't surprise me but if u have proof of this don't hesitate to share it and send it to game news outlets like someone proposed earlier on in this topic. When did this rollback happen because I haven't seen news of a rollback today or yesterday?

Yet another day without an official reply ...

Haha, i also tried D12 on that day and really made it into the cave after 58 deaths.

Unfortunately you need grappling hook/climbing picks to reach the fountain inside.. bad luck.

Today the lag is gone and the light speed cyclopses wont let you come even close to the cave entrance.

So no longer chance to meet and play with the level 6453 one hitting spiders inside the cave.

That's why the design itself is terrible, it was stupid when everyone had to do it at the same time and it's stupid now as it's nearly impssible to do without dying.

Weak!

Why not they have screwed the game up sooo bad already.

That's no valid reason to throw more money at the codemonkeys.

These last few patches were a dazzling display of ignorance regarding what makes games fun versus antagonistic and frustrating. Consequently, they more than earned my very first negative review on Steam. Granted there are currently nearly 12,000 negative reviews already so it's basically pissing in the ocean at this point but since it's obvious they're not listening to us, maybe other people will listen and not give these undeserving developers any more money. 

@Jatheish where are u !?

Delete this thread, u don't want this thread to be the only one Jat and the team reads for the entire month and think hell yeah let's do that. Cuz they would ...

Defend it so heavily, funny. Kind of done with people saying that since I have made my concerns about many aspects, just like the stone structures right now. I’m not sure what you’re getting at but do it with a bit more trying. 

Your most recent posts are nothing but defending the game and debunking whatever someone complains about, even in the stone resources stuff topic u are bragging about how u could still make stuff without it using your 500 metal and 1000 organic paste. And saying to people that u were expecting this kind of changes to happen cuz they did them to Ark so u are ok with it. You have your head up your ass mate.

The game is in early access. The official launch is in 2 years. Man I thought we had it with the trolls but they keep coming. 

For someone who likes the game so much and defends it so heavily u do spend alot of time on the forums now do u?

They rather have all of the unhappy customers to become griefers than that they would reply to their complaints or even aknowledge the so many issues that need to be adressed.

@jeremystieglitz reply to it you cowardless chicken, all u did was steal our money and left us with monkeys to fix the code (PS they don't fix it).

I can see it both ways, especially for a major bug on a release.  But, I will mention it to the others and see where it goes.

Did you really just say that... Especially for a major bug on a release? This entire game was a bug since release, so many topics were in the bug section before they changed the damn thing and said well if u get 200 upvotes on a bug within a week we MAYBE look at it. Like he replied to the PVE Sinking ships topic with "Theoretically that can be fixed" that was a week ago and not a single reply from him in there after that. We already knew they didn't want to listen to us, but don't try to tell us fairytales.

Just now, Nightstrasza said:

That's however unintuitive, by default it should be sorted by recent activity, otherwise why we don't have this mess in general discussions section? Please consider changing it back, suggestions are the same, many won't change their sorting settings and so many suggestions get thrown into the void in favor of most popular 1-2 pages.

Yea what he said, alot of the bug topics already got forgotten and pushed to the background when this bug stuff was implemented with votes, now u have a gazillion topics about the same thing cuz nobody uses that sort of filter when not pointed to it.

I wish u and your bosses replied to my other topic that has been there for almost a week now, but Jat, Jermey and all the other headless chickens rather hide and only respond to positive comments, tell them to man the fuck up.

Am I the only one who noticed that the bug section only shows the highest voted topics and not the most recent ones when u create anew topic it appears on page 5 where nobody will find it and nobody will upvote it. This way no topics will ever get 200 votes what so ever. Found it out after bringing this topic to the bug section in the hope they are gonna use they eyes one day.

Even their bug forum section is broken, if someone reports a bug and it has 0 votes and views it ends up on page 4 or 5 where all the bugs are with 0 votes. This means new bugs that are reported need to be found by browsing to pages for people to find a topic and vote for it, this way it will never reach 200 votes cuz not even a single topic comes close to he 200 votes required. Posted this topic there

This way Jat and his eyeless mods and bosses have to take notion of this. Just rediculous how hard can it be to make the forum at least work properly, dipshit, pure utter dipshits.

@Jatheish Stop ignoring your community you spineless coward,

come and reply to the oh so many topics about issues while u keep pushing updates nobody asks for, you are losing players by the thousands now daily, u gonna quit this project like you guys abandoned most of them and let mods deal with your crapcode? Better start acting like a man or I will come and find you in your shitty London.
