All that wall of text. U could just write 'I don't want to raid online because its too hard'. Simple enough, "PvP" master And about "u don't like it go play pve". Man, are u able to understand there are people who want actual PvP like ship fights, online raiding where there are both defenders and attackers? Its early access, the game will be polished according to majority of players. And majority of players doesn't like the fact there is NO way how to defend you ships while offline. Like u know, those ships which this game should be about. Now it takes about 5 cannon balls from a csnnon bear (which don't have an offline counter) to sink your ship while offline. Wow, so pro, such PvP. They either have to put something in game which makes it much harder to sink your ships/raid you base while offline or their population will be extremely low. Simple as that. And it's not because those players are bad at PvP but because od the fact they don't play 24/7 and they don't want to put their time in something which is gone during offline time without being able to do anything. Rn the game is not about pvp, it's about being online during night tim÷e

We are under our claims, no lawless problem isn't "enough" defence. There isn't anything like enough defence in this game, only lack of ways how to defend. Nothing in this game is able to stop offline griefs.

So, we've just lost about 20 ships against 2 griefers with a cannon bear during offline. We got multiple cannon towers, swivel guns on all ships and around base, around 40 puckles all around the harbor to cover those griefers. Tripple walls all around base so they cant come from the back side. I don't know what to do more in this game to defend ships while offline. Like this game is about ships but there is no way how to protect them while offline. I'll probably stop playing until some sort of offline defense is about to come. I'm not mad about it, I just feel pointless to rebuild our ships because we have no way how to protect them while offline. Both puckles and swivels are outranged by cannon bears so they are easily destroyed. If you set cannons to tames and players, 1 naked friend will deplete you ammo boxes in like 10 minutes without taking any dmg. Same with balistas. There is simply no way how to defend your ships while offline. You can do 100 cannons/puckles/swivels/balistas but you will still lose you fleet against 2 griefers with 1 cannon bear. So from my point of view it's just pointless to play rn. Maybe at least allow NPCs to automatically repair / replace planks while being under attack and anchored, do something. Right now all it takes to sink a ship is cannon bear with fuckin 5 balls.

Its from the same developers so why not use something which works

It has mechanics from ARK which is great. But it's sandbox mmo, ARK isn't. Im pretty positive about that. It's not finished game at all but thats what EA is. Try it, if you like ARK and u like ships you will probably have fun here.

Early access. U know, that unfinished, unbalanced product full of bugs, glitches etc. which need to be solved before the game releases and which costs 1/3 of its release price. I got everything what I expected from EA Atlas. More to be honest. EA games are usually much worse bullshit than this Ye, some of my ships are gone because of lag issues, server restarts etc. I don't care since we all are on the same boat with this.

I did, still get the same. You are bitching at devs thats it. "They don't get the feedback from players bla blah". People were angry abour flame arrows - fixed, explosive barrels - fixed, animals aggroing on NPC crews on ships - fixed, alphas - fixed, overweighting ships in pve - fixed etc. They still need to work on BattleEye, solve duping problrm, they still doing performance improvements. I think they pretty much react to peoples feedback.

Jesus man. You want to fix everything all at once. They can't u know? They don't have team large enought to fix all things in like a month. Thats why EA phase is planned for 2 years. Look at patches, they are fixing things all the time.

With stackable items? Yea. With carbines and other nonstackables? No, don't try, you are making a fool of yourself.

You are the tester. Its EA. Put feedback, make it change Look at how much they changed animals since release - alphas, stamina, weight balances.

Hey, we can offer you place to live on EU pvp server under the tax (15%). We have a free Island for those who can't find a place where to live. Edit: We are not megatribe. We do have about 35+ people online, majority of us are cz/sk players, we have like 15 german players, some Americans. If you would like to join us instead of living under tax we can discuss it.

Stop being sarcastic man. Noone is telling you not to raid someone during night because its just your time schedule. Problem is every retard is waiting for offline raids even if he is able to raid someone normally during the day. Just because its extremely easy and effective.

Its not eternal conflict. Rn its online wars Because so called "PvPers" don´t want to raid during the day. Why? Because they want to offline raid someone instead of trying to do proper pvp. Sorry m8, offline raiding isn´t pvp, its player vs stupid NPCs. And new to gaming? Nah, not at all. Eve online? They have some kind of offline prot. ARK? Ofc it has some kind of offline prot. So why would Atlas be different? Im not telling they should add offline protection. Just make offline raiding more difficult. Buff structure resistance against siege weapons while tribe member are offline so offline raiders can still raid but it isn´t so fuckin easy. Right now it has no downsides. Rn those who play 24/7 win this game. Not those who are good PvPers.

You really consider offline raiding PvP?:-D

You cant outsmart them. Currently there are no means how to stop offline raiders thats it. You can have puckles, swivels, cannons, multiple honeycombs and u still get raided easily And im not telling them how to play. I just consider them pathetic

It must be so much fun to offline raid someone soooo much Player versus Player when u got no enemy players playing. Jesus I love these pathetic offline raiders who play 24/7 and refuse to raid you while online because they are not able to do it. So they have to raid you offline while you can't defend yourself. Btw I have no problem with people who actually play at night because they can't during a day. But those morons who just wait for you to go offline while playing all day long are just pathetic. They are not good at PvP, they don't even want to play proper PvP, they have no balls to fight you so they just wait.

You like raiding at nights because its easy don't u migthy PvPer?

They chose to raid at night because they are 24/7 players and they know they wont have any resistance during night. Stop making excuses. People do raid at nights because its easy, not because they play mostly at nights Its just pathetic how they ignore their enemies during the day and go raid them when they go offline. Its not pvp.

I agree with it. Make it possible but much harder.

I never said anything about ORP. I said game needs some kind offline raid protection. Never said anything about form. I dunno, add some resistance to structures, ships while offline, add some turrets, better NPCs which can shoot from carbines, anything. But just add smt so people don't get raided their Island in 2 hours while offline. Just make it harder to raid while offline, not completely impossible. Ofc in ARK you can offline raid too, but there are still shitloads of turrets you have to soak and durable (tek) structures to destroy. It takes much more time to raid well defended base while defenders are offline. Atlas? Well, take your 3 cannon bears and shoot throught 5 honeycombed stone walls in 15 minutes.

You dont want some kind of offline protection simply because you want easy raiding, just admit that you don't want proper PvP. We both probably have different explanation of what "Player vs Player" means.

Jesus, I give up. I do care about population in this game while you don't, i get that. I want proper PvP where you can actually defend yourself against raids, u want to grief and offline raid someone because you play 24/7 and you can do it with zero difficulty. Fine, end of discussion. Just listen to me when Im saying you will get bored in a month because u won't have anyone to raid. Edit: ARK servers has 70 pop. Only people who can play 24/7 play on those servers without ORP and they fight each other. Atlas has a capacity of 33k people ... If only people who play 24/7 stay, servers will be dead.

What will you do when there are no enemies left? Oh, wait, you leave the game because u wont have anything to do.

So u want empty official servers do I get that right? You don't care about population of officials?

No, if they are wiped during normal day they have at least a possibility to defend themselves. Atlas isnt ARK, u can move all across the map to different region and start again. U could not do it in ARK, map was simply too small to move somewhere else. If they get wiped offline they certainly wont move anywhere. They simply stop playing because why bother playing game where you have to chance to stop offline raid. And because they leave, big tribes wont have any enemies and they stop playing too. Thats how it works. I like Atlas and I want people stay in game. Thats all.
