I was referring to the guy above me saying its not enjoyable for "small groups". Solo is no worse than it was few seasons ago. This game requires at least two if you want to do any meaningful ship pvp. Anyways, tip for all of you solos and small groups, settle somewhere and you dont need to worry about your base that much. IMO this season is improvement because I'd rather spend time sailing and grinding gold than hitting thousands of treees with elephant and giraffe.

Friend and me came back to Atlas (official PVP server) 2 weeks ago and we have 2 schooners, 1 armored dock and 20k in the base ready for already crafted half mythical brigantine. Both employed and working 5 days a week. I suggest you start playing smarter instead of wasting time whining on forums.

Lost 4 bears in the past 10 days because of it. If grid lags they get desynced off the ship.

Use official Atlas discord - eu-pvp-companyrecruiting channel. I did the same and so many island owners contacted me

Dont know about tranq arrows but as someone who tamed more than 100 animals of all kinds Ill tell the easiest way to tame is with a bear. Tricky part is taming the first bear, after u have it you can tame any animal easily. So, to tame first one all you need is 2 bows (because they break), 100 arrows, bolas and preferred food in the last hotbar slot. Shoot a bear from a distance and climb on some rock or a hill so the bear cant get u. Shoot it until its low and then bola it. After it's down, walk slowly from behind to find a sweet spot to feed em (for a bear its behind its front legs). You can put bed just in case u die. And also, if they run away, just wait, they will come back at u. After you've managed to tame first one, every other tame is easy mode. Just lower any animal u want to tame with a bear and bola it while sitting on a bear. After the animal is down jump off the bear and feed it. DONT forget to put your bear on passive because it will kill the animal if it hits you. Ive never built a taming pen after 1700hours of playing. No need to litter these beautiful islands Happy taming!

It's type of ammo called bar shot used for destroying sail canvas. You either avoid getting hit by it or somehow run away and repair the canvas. While theyre firing bar shots you can do the same to them to buy some time for repairs or destroy their planks.

After 1300 hours of Atlas I can agree sailing should be less time consuming but adding fast travel would completely ruin the game for me. Size of the world is what makes this game so immersive to me. As I recommended few months ago they should just remove ship decay in freeports so you can safely park when you have to log out which allows you to continue the journey next day. If there was an option to park somewhere safely it would save me so much time because I'd not be forced to sail back everytime i travel somewhere far away. People will now say how it will get abused but tbh I dont care if other people in pvp are able to save their ships. It would add much more traffic and risk to travel from freeport to your base and thats exactly what I want rn, more ships and traffic which results in more sea battles. Also freeports shouldnt make ur ship immediately invulnerable but only when you anchor it for 5-15 minutes.

Never said I dont agree with you. It was just too hard not to notice the irony of you calling someone incompetent while showing a gif of you being incompetent. As I said, i cba talking about devs anymore, they dont listen. They got your money, you're not important anymore.

How can you play for a year and not know this is the worst way to tame an elephant? Get a fucking bear and bola the elephant while sitting on it. You dont need pens, it makes them buggy. Also ure feeding it from the WRONG side. I've never had any issues with taming an elephant and i tamed dozens since last christmas. Not even gonna talk about devs, this gif was frustrating enough, seeing how bad u are after a year of playing.

Probably working on another game. Almost a year and there are still so many huge issues which were there at day one. This game is unfixable. Sad, I was so hyped about Atlas.

yes

I enjoy sea battles so much but with current ship render distance and low population its almost impossible to meet any ships. The map is too big to have such low render distance, you have to be so close to see someones ship. Out of 15 hours of sailing last couple of days we met maybe 3 ships. It's hard to keep people interested when they sail for hours and cant find anybody to fight with. This probably wouldnt be an issue if servers had 100+ players per server but rn sailin is so time consuming with almost no reward. I know u devs follow darksideRP closely and their mod that sees ships from so far away made that server 5x better with almost no performance cost.

You need gold depending on how many points the island has and then place the flag where you want to build base. You have to pay upkeep every 12 hours. If ure trying to claim someones island the process basically the same, you place the flag next to theirs and u have to kill all of them in flag radius who are contesting ur flag. It takes an hour, or atleast it took an hour prewipe when my crew owned an island. Contesters (sleepers or online people) pause the timer if in radius.

Complained about that months ago. It is so easy to fix which tells me they dont really care. Ive lost all hope with this studio long time ago. Dont even bother. Seems like they only think about how to milk as much as they can before they move to another game. Its abusable in claimed areas too, because settlers also have decay timers.

Devs are on vacation, try again next week
