Dunno wether to laugh.. report your posts as personal insults or simply block you both. But fyi.. I'm 50.. live in my own house with my wife to whom I've been married for 22 yrs, where I have 2 cars I own parked outside in my driveway.. my mother, lives 25 miles away in her own home. And neither of us, have a basement. As for me bashing the game.. I only complain about what I love. I ignore everything else.

Only thing I'd like to see is passive taming of birds.. so I didn't have to keep killing them all the time. No bola.. just crouch, creep, feed, wait.. like the monkey. At 50% the bird stays on ground..or flies back to you.

Yeh but there's a tiny slight difference, in a factions game, choice isn't a choice.. at least in atlas you can choose to be in a mega or not.. that said, in planetside, you could choose and many frequently did, to go around trying to solo capture bases etc.. rather than play in the mass lagfests.. which were great fun. I miss my magmower now..

Same.

30 yrs.. hope your employers don't read this forum. And yeh you're right.. I have wedding photos, other games, music, movies etc on my drive.. besides just atlas.. Oh and it's working now. Was working before you replied. But thanks for your needless input. 30 years.. omg, I'd have sacked you within the first 30 seconds.

Does the cannon fire underwater or it is only a surface attack sub? Oh and my suggestion would be to add a 2nd puckle for seagulls attacking from behind.

Clearly you have no clue what you're talking about. Windows itself takes up a large chunk.. limiting trash etc means nothing. Cleaning your hdd means nothing.. having to find 126gb on a drive with 30gb spare.. is a significant issue and also expecting everyone to have spare terabyte drives is as well. As pointed out in my earlier posts. As for the game not being buggy etc.. explain where the other 38,000 players have gone. Sorry.. miscalc.. 158,000 other players..

True.. haulers can't fly and getting the materials down stairs and ramps is considerably more difficult that just riding upto a bank or silo. And only admins/owners can change flags settings. Everyone else has to just make do with those changes. If it was defaulted the other way around, those who were perhaps not aware of the settings or procedures would perhaps have an easier life ongoing. A question on berry consumption, since it seems only those foods can be loaded.. how much food does a crewman take from a single berry.. compared to say from meat, farmed/wild veg/fish/milk etc. This is my main issue, if you load 10,000 berries into your flag.. log in the next day and find that they're all gone and your crew are starving.. when as the day before, you lost 100 cocoa.. and some potatoes they weren't.. similarly, if i put 10,000 gold into my flag, then come island payment day, find there isn't enough gold in my flag I loose my island. But if I put it in my ships chest.. I only loose my crew. Performance be damned.. if I loose my island.

I'm sure modding like this will be easy enough to do. Make a map, add a structure, add an aod spawn around it. Put a treasure inside.

Yes and No.. it depends imo, for example, placing islands or ships or spawn points you're not playing the game as created by the devs, but you are playing it as intended. But if you change sliders to make a game easier.. then surely, you owe it to the community, when you claim the game is "too easy" because you used a slider to make it easier.. ie to play it differently from "normally intended". Similarly, if you "spawn in" a lv 150 tame to "test" an idea out.. you should not be then making reports in forums claiming the game is too easy.. the same goes with using Gamma to bypass vision, a cave is not easier because you can now see in the dark.. the game is now easier.. because you're cheating. I don't honestly care if people cheat themselves.. it's your game, play however you want. But my point is, admit to it. Because if people find out later on.. that you've been using sliders and then claim you're playing the same game they are.. as far as they'll be concerned.. you're being dishonest, because you cheated. If you make any claims about the games content.. make sure you're playing the actual game.. that is intended to be played by the devs. Not using bypasses and cheats.. to then make false accusations. If I had a dollar for everytime someone said "this is too easy on my modded private server" I'd have at least a few dollars.. a modded server.. is not an intended play server. The game rules were changed, that's what modding is. It isn't fair to players who don't cheat, to suggest something is easy or hard.. because you changed the rules. To me, the definition of cheating is obvious and common sense.. Those arguing against me, have imo, admitted to basically being dishonest people and their views can no longer be credible or accepted as valid opinions.

If you cannot be honest with yourself.. how can you begin to be honest with anyone else?

If you patch and it changes me keys.. please warn me.. Now I have to change them all back again!! Also: Crew on Fully Anchored Boats: 1st priority: Silo 2nd priority: Claim Flags 3rd priority: Resource Box and Food larder I think it should be 1st Silo, 2nd Resource box and food larder 3rd claim flags. I do not want my crewmen soaking up all my flag resources. Which I think is the real reason this has been added btw.. it is your intention to add in further sinks for gold and resources doing this. So people run out of gold in their flags faster, therefore loose their islands more often. I'd rather loose my crewmen, than loose my island.

Seriously tho.. imo If you open sp with the intention of testing out ideas.. then you're not really intending to "play" a game.. so it is actually just testing ideas.. you might do this in a number of games, say to find out how long it takes you to complete a task or how long the ai takes to complete a route or patrol path etc.. or to test/verify how much damage a specific weapon causes to a specific target. In this sense, you're not cheating per se, as you're not playing the game as it was intended. Also it follows if you'd playing a modded game, you also aren't really cheating as you're playing "a modded version" so really, you are playing the game as it was intended within the "modded version". My definition of cheating is purely aimed at those who bypass certain ingame rules using menu options and who then claim they aren't being dishonest.. the act of bypassing ingame rules.. is cheating, it is being dishonest. Telling everyone you're doing it, is a more honest way or more open way, but you're still cheating.. those who do not use the same methods to bypass. In a pve game it is of little to no consequence.. in a pvp game. It is. sp/mp it doesn't matter.. ultimately tho, you're only being dishonest with yourself. Something you clearly don't have an issue with. Take bragging rights for example: I completed the entire game.. I completed the entire game.. but I used gamma to see in the dark caves and I used an invulnability code in console sometimes when I was fighting the bosses. Which of those two statements is true? To you GT, both probably are. To those of us who do not cheat. Only the first is.

Yeh I completely agree. All that is important to me, is that people are aware that not playing how the game is intended or beaming stuff in etc.. using gamma to bypass.. is cheating. Wether it's right or wrong means nothing to me. The easier to make a game or the better/more experienced you become, you have the same effect anyway.. a lv 150 player.. is essentially cheating by breathing in the game compared to a lv 1 player.. in realistic sense as they can do everything.. except maybe.. see in the dark.. and 1 shot krakens with a line of code.

If there were servers which used mods that made the game more fun, without making it easier.. there'd be no need for sp at all really. But like ark every atlas private seems to be the same x100 taming.. x902 harvesting. etc. + mods that basically give you free stuff or make the game so easy it isn't worth playing, more of a doss around 5 minute splash. The funny thing is. For all that anyone will ever play the sp for.. you can do on the servers anyway.. and more.. the only real reason for incl of a sp game is for people who have intermittant or no internet.

Who says it annoys me? And if you deny you're cheating.. well you have bigger problems.

Fight the Kraken? In Sp people will just cheat the submarine in.. insta cheatkill the kraken.. etc.. fight it? er..nope.

Ok cool. Will try that.

Don't completely disagree, there should be periods of slack wind, but no way as near as long as they currently are. There's Heat Waves, Cold Fronts, Fog, Wind/Cyclone Storms, Rain Storms (Blizzards in north/south) and No Wind Storms. Every so often.. there's good wind and clear skies.. It's like the Devs have removed the idea of weather and replaced it with timesinks.. Heat/Cold Waves can kill you, Fog usually a prerequisite to Sotd spawns, Cyclone Storms can sink your ship. Albeit you'd need to get stuck in every cyclone to get that damaged, but it is essentially a resource time sink. And no wind.. is just a timesink. There is fair weather.. but not very often. Storms should be rare.. occur only in specific regions etc Fair weather should be normal and avg condition with moderate winds and rough should be with the waves and high winds.. but should perhaps occur as an imminent warning of more severe storms. Would also be good if storms occurred within areas of a region, ie only over 1 island etc.. which would make for a nice effect and add immersion. But I don't know if the game engine could support that. You cannot "sail" into the wind. Your ship moves extremely slowly against the wind and that is not sailing.. sailing can only occur "with" the wind.

Noone should be "allowed" an opinion.. it's something you fight for.

Which wipe was that then? As to the op.. factions is a tried and tested system, the biggest problem with it, is when everyone picks the same side.. the others get ganked. Then you have to limit numbers in fights, then limit skill levels and before you know it.. dead game. I don't mind factions being in a game, but I also don't like being forced into one.

Just put 60 bolts into a docile whale, swimming in circles, it actually had harpoons/bolts sticking out of it and it wouldn't aggro.. just kept swimming around in circles. I was almost on top of it and the shots just kept falling short. It's like they hit the water and just vanish, also they act really weirdly when fired, floating off to one side, depending on direction of travel, like they're in super slow mode.. Unless the whale is aggressive.. I can't see how hunting is going to be a thing, unless you still have to swim upto it and punch it in the face to get aggro.. Either way.. that's several hours of grinding wasted.. I just keep finding reasons to stop playing this game.

For 2k+ gold.. and the xp it carries.. I'll happily build a sky tower to nowhere.. maybe.. But a rock pinicle for 150g? No chance.. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1787969318 This one.. 47g.. a ledge up a mtn.. if they hadn't jumped down.. I wouldn't have gone up. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1787969448 47g... I am out exploring.. I don't actually get any xp from the maps because I'm maxed out.. and apparently now to get a level.. you need to explore an entire region just to get enough xp.. What a boring game. 200g.. this is okay.. go, kill, go elsewhere.. no xp.. but wth.. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1787973595

If at first you don't succeed.. cheat. Game is GREAT! YEH!! Amazing.. except for this, that, that, this, that...

I noticed it's faster to relog, but still slow to load from steam menu. As for size on disk.. it's about the same as before. If the sp aspect of it requires additional files that I won't ever use.. then I don't need them installed on my computer. Taking up space. If the amount of space is negliable it doesn't really matter, my initail issue was trying to find the 126gb of space it was demanding to patch a 5gb file with.
