on land, tried over a few days, multiple times. logging out. leaving grid. nothing seems to work. xo

can confirm they change color when leveling. you had a beautiful parrot

here is the location, I know a lot was bad luck but no control to do anything and I was under my ship after the shock.

Sextant Buff Compass Portion Disappears when you log out. you still have the buff in the lower right, but the compass (N S E W part) goes away. you have to die to reset it. Then sextant buff all over. when servers restart it gliches the buff like this, or if you have to restart for any reason. ty.

Explicit Language -- I think that the physics that push us away from rocks kinda got me here. because there was two rocks. I was also moving really fast but...ya. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/419600784

pls

Seems overnight turning with my speed sails (Large and Small, journeyman and masterwork) has a reeeaaaaaally hard time turning. I'd say it's 40-60% harder for me to turn at max speed. and I've been sailing all day everyday.... so I could really feel this change but didn't see it in patch notes. Anyone know? I also just added the masterwork small speed sail with 118% max velocity, and 106% turn effectiveness... maybe it's not working right?

Will try to find the video on my Stream VOD. You anchor and they start creeping in the air, till they float away forever, and die/disappear.

Yo restart your computer with me. let's go.

I'M NOT GIVING UP THAT EZ

23 minutes boyz

we need pixels

Wait with me LOL ? https://www.twitch.tv/dojii

What's up everybody. Me and my brother stream twitch.tv/Dojii and will be playing a ton of this PTR! If anyone is really knowledgeable and wants to help join the fun and discover the new changes, and help orient new players come chill in our chat. Our goal is really to learn the game all over, with these new changes. Will probably be playing PTR all the time as long as it is up. We put in 700+ hours previously on NA/PVP but the PTR gives us access to the latest changes, and all the skills so--- we can dive right into the content. Anyways lets have some fun!

ya that whole "Atlas Launching today DEC 13" feel. then "ok nm the 15th". Then it was like... finally the 23rd or something. Good times. Worst launch ever. still played and had fun but damn... I need dat cosmetic

GIVE US OUR DAMN PIXELS!!! I'm going into a pixel frenzy. They wiped my base! Where's my cosmetic that is my monument of 800 hours R.I.P. Help me. I guess I'm just gonna log in now. last day before the wipe.

^ This

In the Dev stream they said they would announce a day to Log In, to get flagged for, or to obtain it. So last work I heard was -- we have to log in at X time. X = ? :((((

During the Dev Stream when they announced they were wiping, they also said there would be "a day when player log in to claim their Pre-wipe Cosmetic Hat" (or something along those lines). Does anyone know which day it is to log in and get this cosmetic?

I really don't see too many of that threads. lol

wipe is confirmed

Yea if you look at https://steamcharts.com/ it says ARK: Survival Evolved is currently #12 most played today with 44,166 current players. With a peak of 54,964 today. We can also cross reference the data with https://store.steampowered.com/stats/ (From steam themselves) and it's not very far off. Both fluctuate of course. So like you said basically... it's not a mom and pops operation when they have one of the most successful games on steam. Given what current information I have... it seems safe to say they will not wipe servers unless they absolutely have to and feel it's necessary. When things have gone wrong and they deemed it necessary they have rolled the servers back a few hours. I like that when they see problems, or fixes, or have updates they just bring the servers down and apply the fixes. I have also heard from other players they plan to be in EA for 2 years, and will be developing throughout that time, new content, etc... before it leaves EA. With the leveling system being the way it is, how you have to work very hard to unlock 100 levels..... it doesn't seem to me that wiping a server is good for the game at all. Albeit you can get some awesome XP from treasure maps on a 2x weekend. We were able to level a friend of ours from 1-47 in like 4 maps on a 2x weekend with an XP song, and discovery XP buff. It seemed crazy but then I thought to myself.... you're only level 47 and the rest of the XP past 51 you have to unlock. You have to unlock these level caps before you can even gain experience for those levels. It's a ton of work with the current design but it's also cool to see that people aren't max level, and there is more to complete, and achieve even if it is just sailing around 225 grids trying to poke your head into a discovery. There has hardly been any MMO in recent years that required, or was even worth the investment of time (for me). But I feel that this game is worth that 2+ years investment and beyond. However, all the ARK PTSD people have (and I've never played Ark) has had me worried that we're just going to get deleted. Anyways thanks for the information. Rather have the discussion here than on the Steam Forums, because it seems to be a cesspool of trolls. Would still like any official information if anyone comes across anything from dev team. I added tags to this thread and tried to make the question as simple as possible, so that perhaps in the future there is a more reliable reference for the information than Steam's dismal threads.

I don't see anyone posting comments from the Development Team though. It's just more speculation and mystery. I want to read that the devs say if anyone has that information.

I have been reading in some places that there may be a full wipe when the game leaves early access. Most of their argument is based on some things that happened in Ark, and therefore they presume that because it happened in Ark it will inevitably happen in Atlas. There also seems to be this troll campaign that makes talk to encourage a wipe, as well as speak as if they would love and cherish a wipe. I'm not really concerned about the 25$ I spent for "early access". I'm more concerned about the time I'm investing in the game that far exceeds a 25$ price tag. I haven't read anywhere from developers that there would be a wipe when the game leaves early access, or any wipes at all for that matter. Maybe it's implied in some vague lines in the EULA? At any rate I would just hope that if there is plans, or expectations of a wipe from the development team that they would tell us now.... or rather it would be nice to clarify on the subject. Maybe put it in BOLD LETTERING somewhere, so people know what to expect on the subject. Just a bit tired of the mystery of will we be able to keep our pixels or not. If you have any documentation, or word from the Development Team on the subject I would like to see it.

hah yea sure is. The shire has had some challenges today. We were fighting a whale, and an SoD when this happened. We killed the whale, then 2 crew members crashed and got this bug. I was able to make it back to the Shire with the boat. Got half the whale loot. Then I went out sailing on mah brig to get some stuff from the Freeport. If you know Shy -- she was able to bring the ship home. She's needing an AFK now and a cigarette after a most traumatizing day LOL! But we're safe... awaiting stream to resolve their connection issues.
