As a general rule, every animal which you see a heart over shows that he has a mate nearby, if you attack, the mate(s) will jump in the fight as well, beware !

Horses don't need to be attacked, they willingly come to players just to be suprised that's "eew" to get close an we have to pay for this idiotic mechanic by being chased with 1-2 alpha horses.

The fish thing is about trash hitboxes, or perhaps that's bcs hitboxes lag behind their model. Whatever that is, fish is not the only one that unless hit in center of mass won't take damage.

Bingo!

Not realy. What about islands that only have 1 predator. Our island have full wolves, very rarely scorpions and seen only 1 or 2 rattles on the greenier parts of the shore. Did never dare to scout deep into the islan as dying already behind the first mountain but seen there giant snakes however they never got out to the shore.

Just wanted to clear the coast, but then... so ridiculous

Who uses guns those days?, especialy the slowest to reload one? Stone age is way to go... but yeah, there is no way clearing that no matter what, unless there is some boulder to jump on or ocean.

Same, already poked Jat on his steam profile few hours ago but suprise, no help still. Already lost patience, 9 hours of not being able to play bcs of v14, negative review dropped.

Just stay at the ship, wait for few minutes untill being sure that the server wants thou there without teleporting all over the place and leave the game. Right now unplayable.

Really, it works!

And can cross servers with the ship without it vanishing? and when dying can respawn on the bed?

Have you tried polar regions

Polar is cancer... but yeah, they are the only bet left on official propably, unless someone is kind enough to spare 1 flag (in case of pve, in pvp they just gonna kill thou and teabag for showing up). So the thing with polar is that there is no fiber, wood is very scarce, no vitamin A and C and the most important thing, yetis. They have thousands and thousands of hp, they take increased damage just like cyclopses... but doesn't help if they have like 2-10k hp depending on lvl, they move faster than player and they hit hard from strenght of a bear to strenght of an lvl 249 alpha wolf. They are also everywhere and respawn just as fast as predators on normal islands, not to mention wolves are also there so 2x cancer.

All old beds are bugged and cannot be spawned upon. You will need to make a new bed to spawn again, that seems to work.

The ships also don't show up on the map.

I have a couple pieces of advice for you. The first is you need to learn the art of baiting predators away from your corpse to get your stuff back. Instead of giving in to the temptation of running directly back to your corpse, you should get into the general area of your corpse and attempt to get the predators' attention. Once you have it, run like a mad man in any direction that won't block your path back to your corpse.

If the predators in question are something obnoxiously fast like wolves, you're going to die multiple times before your path is clear. If it's something you can outrun like giant snakes just lead them in a big circle and you can usually get your corpse back in one go. 

Also, keep in mind there was no discernable attempt made to balance the fauna of any given island. I've seen islands where there are no predators to be found, and others where that's pretty much all there is all the time. So if one island is simply too obnoxious to deal with, there are sometimes islands even in the same grid where the opposite is true. Basically, it pays to explore. 

Not realy pays to explore, everything is taken at this point, grab whatever can.

There are skills that seriously reduce the aggro radius in the beastmaster tree

It doesn't reduce their spawn rate tho.

Is caused by the immense animal spawn?

There are also trees and boulders inside mountains (try to glitch head into one).

Well. Yes. That was my point to someone who commented on the "Realism" of the video game. I made your exact same point to the person I was replying to. 

 

You're kind of missing the entire context of the post. 

Oh... it was a sarcasm, right..., forget whatever we said lol.

So I was thinking at work today, to fully represent the game world of atlas on private servers would require at most 225 servers

I am envisioning a server consortium run by a group of people interested in running the full game world, only with admins actually interested in removing cheats and zero tolerance for hacking. 

Needless to say these servers would be Region locked. 

Would there be any interest in this? 

 

 

The amount of money to run 225 servers and all the time hoping that admins won't just get tired of the game or run out of money. Yes, a game ran by fair community would be better than lazy devs of any game, a GM in-game will do much more than a robot auto responding to suppor tticket after 2 weeks just... kinda sounds hopeless to achive.

Just now, Ellentro said:

That was kind of my point?

 

Not realy, thy post says that it should be possible to just shoot a fire arrow and sink someone ship with that 1 arrow. That's how we understand it.

26 minutes ago, Ellentro said:

I'm pretty sure if you set an enemy ship ablaze it would sink and the fire wouldn't just magically go out after three seconds either. Welcome to video games. 

Video games are made to be fun and balanced not specificaly to be 100% realistic. Otherwise even stone buildings could be damaged by a stone hatchet, slowly grinding in, however that is not the case and stone is immune to many types of damage. Bullet to the head would instaill anything no matter armor or pounding health stats to full, same with stone arrow if it managed to penetrate the skull and in case of animals also their thick fur.

This is tower defense not mmo, wrongly advertised hehe. Dunno how to help..., get bow, metal tools and stone building. Keep corpse running and suicide diving untill will get a stone wall going allowing to lure nearby cancer then smashing their heads as they try to bite thro an undestructible to them wall. Basicaly this.

Ah also..., many predators and animals can't go thro a wall made of doorways but player can, so there's always possibility to make traps with those and keep the predators inside so they don't respawn insteed of killing them.

Nope Nope and Nope. I just tested this. I made a brand new raft with a brand new bed.. sailed my brand NEW raft back to my house in B6. I also place a brand new bed in my house because there was not one in there because it was pointless to put one in there earlier. Well now it isn't. I died on purpose and was able to spawn in the bed in my house butr not on my brand new raft. GG devs nice stealth change.

So the game doesn't see ships...yay..., well, gonna later go stock up on wood and stone we guess, nothing else to do bcs leaving island is a suicide it seems.

8 minutes ago, Gornemant said:

That's because dying has no impact on the player at all, suicide becomes a valid tactic.

That is still viable to make a sloop with few fire archers and sink even a galleon. Cannons are much worse than that, we can understand flame thrower but this is just effortless way of destroying hours of work, no matter if penalties or not.

I dont think that mods are needed. The dev kit makes it only more difficult and complicated for the devs and fixes substract development time from the real issues of the game.

Tbh, not complaining that they released it, some ppl asked for it. What not being happy with is that there was a jump from 11,4 to 14 for literaly only this that did nothing for the game, broke beds/ships and downloaded 436mb of nothing bcs we never gonna use that tool.

1 minute ago, Talono said:

So if you demolish an old bed on a raft and place a new one it will show up on respawn ?

Yes, new beds work normally, for ships to show up guess need to demolish entire ship and make new one... nope, they gotta fix that part.

Also the forum takes ages to do something now, is everything DDOSed, hacked into, exploited, griefed etc here...

So from what noticed. Old beds don't work, need to demolish and place new for them to show up on the map, the old ones can be used to fast travel but... for nothing else. As for ships, they simply don't show up on the map and not gonna demolish entire ship just to fix that lol.

Wanted to explore, get some journeyman bps for fur armor and bow... guess, like everyday, we can't do anything without them breaking something.

bump

Yeah, on twitter he said this:

This major version is primarily for DevKit compatibility and then some backend stuff for ourselves but nothing that will impact players/unofficials

It literaly did nothing for the game.

Ye the gate spam is damn awful, and infuriating when done in lawless especially. If you plan to covert an island with huge gates, cutting every single path through it, at least have the decency to get a claim.

Also for some reason i can't grappel hook them in pve, is that just a pve setting?

Can't aswell, need to go to nearest rock or mountain to get arround them.
