My ship was still in the shipyard and not released and i see 2 neighboring shipyards are empty as well. I just figure they were out exploring but now im not so sure. I mean if the ship was released and and sunk, i figured the frame should still be present and floating debris as before but nothing.

Not racist bc i love asians but why is it always chinese that find exploits? They dishonor their race and make all of them look evil in this game. I can say i met some nice ones on pve so i dont think they are all evil and all races and countries have dealt their share of evil in this game. If you find an exploit post it, dont do it bc you think its funny. You know its not right so grow a brain. With that said, people should help improve quality of life not make it harder. Dont encourage what you hate, put a stop to it, be an example. Common sense i know but it has to be said.

I dont know if its intentional, but i was offline a total of 8 hrs and when i logged on, i found a pin locked doorway way gone. The log doesnt show it was destroyed or demolished. Then i look at my shipyard and my schooner i had almost completed was gone as well. No mats in the shipyard or anything. It was lock and though there is an option to pinlock it wont let me. I mean seriously you pin lock something and it should be good for more than 8 hrs reguardless. I knew the PTR would be worse than initial release. Ive given this game a better chance than any but its getting worse and worse. Devs please fix these basic bugs. I dont know if theres an exploit to demolish or destroy doors and ships or if it just vanishes when i log off. Update the only thing that has changed is someone has claimed the island. I don't know if this has allowed them to destroy my objects but that should not be intentional.

Lmao the course is set to down the drain.

This company is a joke. At this rate the full release will never happen under them. I mean seriously you see set a date, then change it 12 times. Seriously if it stays in their hands it will continue to go down. I mean you have already lost over half the player base.

I got that error bc i used the useallavailablecores command in launch options. The same used in Ark, but it actually induced a stutter in my PTR game before i got the error. Maybe i dont need it now with a single gpu. Guys the 2080 ti is really a beast with this game. 4k high settings with epic graphic and tile buffer settings. It will run at max setting and hdr in windowed but certain areas drop to 30 fps which is unplayable to me now and yes its noticeable which is why i dont play cosoles anymore, except red dead 2 of course.

I was in the southern part of e10 and there are 2 oslands so close together that one company had claim to both islands. This is a ridiculous. Why cant they just keep the old zoning system. And If people join neighboring company their claims join the compant but remain personally owned so if they dont like the company they can leave and not lose their built items. I tried the PTR all of an hour and i know this game is headed in the wrong direction. If PVE is the same i can promise i wont be back . This game has really sunk in the quicksand and the more they try to fix, the further its sinks. I feel i have lost a game i loved, forever. If fallout 4 was wiped and changed to fallout 76, id never buy another bethesda game. So looks like i wont buy any grapeshot associated games. Goodbye and fairwell atlas you will be missed but easily replaced.

I cant wait til Ubi launches their pirate game alternative. Looks better than this one as far as ship battles go

Lmao so shocked the date has been changed a 5th time. Lmfao this game is dead so stop kicking the dead horse. Its disrespectful!

April 8 is what it says ingame on the start screen. Build anywhere and 6x until then. Woopiddydoo lol

I still say the sub should be a reward for pre wipe players who lost hundreds of hours of work in testing. That way we can test their new underwater biome and see if the servers can handle a lot of players. I mean we are testers so let us test. Whats the use to kill the kracken if its gonna be wiped again. Good luck getting 30% of players back and thats a generous estimate lol

Yeah but my company mates and many others left weeks before the wipe announcement. I think many may not be back until the game is more complete. This game is turning out worse than Ark and Ark never had complete wipes, they just added dlc when the world changed. I may do as those who are gonna wait for official release or beta maybe. People are thinking a wipe will make so much land available but if those land babies do come back, it wont be any diffrent. All the land will be gone after the first 12 hours. So if you cant live on the game, you wont have anything. I think the delays are making the most people leave, but ive come to expect incompetence from this game. Its not from a lavk of trying it from trying to please all and thats just not gonna happen. If they use these forums as a base, they are gonna miss the bigger group of people who dont even get on this site, who probably even make up the majority of the player base.

I really say wipe and make the land changes and add whatever is finished. As long as the seed is planted for future updates and added game modes. So no more wipes will be necessary and players can test the new system so it can be know if the game will need to be reverted back to the original state.

Im with everyone wipe us already as fix as you go like the first week. Jesus Billy

I agree. Mostly raiders still play. The game isnt cometely dead. There are 10 people including me on pve right now and i dont see them returning.

Exactly what i mean by casual lol. Pvp is for competitive gameplay. I mean land claims and fighting over the land in a war system in pve. The war could be set to even terms and nor let stronger players attack weaker one but let the weak attack the strong. But in pve it should be done for rewards and not for the land. But id really like to see, more than anything is personally built ships belonging to the builder and not the company and can only be used or changed by the owner as well as personal lock boxes. So if i build storage and pin lick it, no one can take things i dont give them.

It's finally good to know that they are not going to do anything for PVE players. I thought PVE was for casual and solo players but I guess that was wrong. I stopped playing Ark because I could not spend every waking minute playing into a game and it doesn't look like Atlas is going to be any different. In theory it is a great game and I like the theme of it but now that Ubisoft is coming out with a ship battles game with better detailed ship models and customizations. I have yet to see anything indicating a casual like mode will be implemented and they make up a lot of the player base in many games. I guess I will have to just put all my efforts into Red Dead 2 so I don't have to worry about my progress ever being wiped as well. Tbh I would rather play Sid Meier's Pirates then this game now. It has many of the aspects even though it is a really old game. It really seems the devs are taking a wrong direction due to feedback. There is always going to be somebody whining and complaining about the changes. The flags really should have been left alone so people would not have to spend every waking minute worrying about keeping their land and those seem land crybabies are whining about the changes now. so instead of spending time actually looking for land or finding a good company to join that may give you some land why not get on the feedback and cry about not finding any and ruin it for everyone causing everybody to lose all their progress. So when I get home this game is due for an uninstalled until I see the base game or something that resembles it with added features at most.

I do kinda understand the wipe now. Sometimes when i log on i can see mountains where my ships are docked. Maybe a sneek peak of changes or a glitch. But if they change existing island as well as adding i can understand wiping claims and tames maybe even ships. I still dont like the idea of a character wipe and never will. I mean a reset like when they changed skill points is acceptable. But the only way i figure a reason complete wipe is due to existing tames and ships. Those may get wiped but still show in your inventory tame limit. If they raise the limits it might create exploits. I am just guessing here from what i have seen. But im betting if devs can save character progress they will. It may take a while but everythimg else can be rebuilt. But what will take longer is rebuilding so you can explore to recover discovery points and regaining levels. I see so many complaining about land like it doesnt matter the hours it took to get to even lvl 60 as i did. This leads me to believe many of those just started playing and snagged someones land who stopped playing prewipe announcement or after the wipe was announced. I will say it again, all those who put in the hours should atleast have a character save or some better reward for their hours put in. Im all for the new lands and areas but i hope in the future they can create dungeons and hidden islands so they can put those in a new game space so no more full wipes would be necessary. I dont know the mechanics that involves here but like in fallout you can create doorways to new spaces via doorways which should be used here via caves and underwater caves. I mean exploration is a great aspect of the game so why not use that to create a game space like lost Mayan cities or sunken Roman ships and buildings maybe even Atlantis. How cool would that be? Of course you can put rare weapons or blue prints there with gold. Maybe even rare weapon and armor skins like Roman and Atlantian. If this is a late 1700s era maybe put in pirate shipwrecks to dive on of all the famous pirates. Then i would glady give another 500 hours to this game.

I am a casual player who started on pvp then changed to pve bc i was solo to start and my company left before the wipe was announced.

Yeah i explored the past few weekends before the wipe announcement. After you build all the ship types and weapons and armor of high quality blue prints, exploring is really all there is to do if you cant get enough people to do the powerstone quest. Rather than a wipe id rather see them lower the level of the golden age ruin enemies. I mean why cant it be like most games where they equal your current level.

Im with you on all counts. Lost tames to alphas, ships to SoDs and cyclones pushing me into rocks. Lost 2 ships to chinese overweighting the ships. Yet i still stayed. Its not about the land to me, but losing all my ships and tames along with my 220 disvovery points and lvl 60. Im all for a better game but jeez give me more t han a hat for almost 500 hours of testing for ya and losing all my hard work. It like you build a real brig by hand then they burn it to the ground and give you a grapeshot games hat lmao just wow. Not to sound ungrateful or anything lol

Probably another player that just got the game at most a week ago and can't find land. It took me almost a week to find land and as long as you're not a douche your neighbors will probably let you join them and then you won't have to be a solo player because power stones and the Kraken are absolutely impossible by yourself. I've been to so many Lawless Islands and see Foundation spamming and all that great stuff and if the whole map is Lawless especially in PVE i just dont see finding an island to settle without having to move because of a single tool that griefs the whole island. But i just wish they would put a little more detail with their updates.

If the wipe completely resets character, i must say id rather have a discovery and xp booster maybe 10x or 5x along with a schooner or brig that only decays if you dont log in daily. Another thought was reward the prewipe player with the new sub. This way you have testers readily available to find the bugs early for squashing.This was just a thought i had for prewipe players and it may get some back to the game who is lvl 40 and above so its not such a grind or with 100+ hours of gametime. Personally i would not come back because a hat and anything or everything free in the freeport shop wont cut it. Just a thought i had and maybe its a pipe dream but i think ideas help more than criticism for the wipe. I mean id be happy if the wipe doesnt happen but if it does, many players wont return without more recognition for their hard work that was put in from day one. We are testers who paid to test your game and not being rewarded for the hard work many have put in. I mean if im at a job and i do my best and i am more productive than most coworkers, i hope someone will recognize it and if not, thats when i know its time to leave. Before there were so many players, the servers couldnt be updated fast enough. Now the servers that were available in the beginning would support the pve community. Thats how many have left and im sure devs have noticed a drop in server load. I just dont think they are coming back with the reviews i read on steam. I know the devs work hard because you kept updating through the holidays to keep the game going. I just hope those people were recognized, those who worked so hard developing and repairing the game to keep it going. If not i applaud you all and i have enjoyed the game you helped make possible.

I can tell you for sure this one wont return if my progress is wiped and im sure im not alone. I can deal with losing land but not progress and losing my ships is also big but not as much. I dont care if this game is so much fun it causes seizures, im not starting over. I dealt with all this in Ark and thats where ill return since i play on private servers there. I regret i didnt just play private on Atlas as well. So just know you speak for yourself, not me or anyone else for that matter. Be gone troll.

I find this whole reply amusing. I have 30 years of gaming starting with the original NES when i was 9 and I build a new pc every 18 months but none of that really matters. Stop criticizing others for having a voice. The devs want feedback or these replies would not be here. I welcome change but not all changes are good. People are leaving the game and they are all ages. So lets say the potatoe you built burns up bc of a update thats supposed to make it so much better, but it actually scraps the whole pc for you. While you may like spending hours or days repairing, i just throw it out and build a newer and better one. Not a good analogy but i hope you see the point. Meaning i will find a new game instead of starting over on this one. To be honest it sounds like you may have gotten this game a few days ago while others got it the first week and struggled through loss due to exploits and bugs that still plague this game. But now that sacrifice is just being tossed away like soiled underwear. I said it before and i will say it again, i think this is why people are leaving. Im not trying to troll or critisize you but just dont be so one sided. While some replies may be irrelevant, some are insightful to the devs. Thats why they encourage all to use their voice no matter if it is positive or negative, because they will listen and maybe a little too much at times.
