Ok, some thoughts after this patch (PvE) I am an established player with all the fancy toys. I was logged in when the patch went live and grabbed all my stuff and locked down my area without a hitch. Even managed to help a few neighbors who were logged out. Its a small island and it didn't take long for the other people on the island to lock it down. No problems, everybody for the most part was happy. But now what? If you're a new player what do you do? They cant build anywhere, I cant allow a new player to build in my zone even I wanted to. Also: I don't dare park a boat at somebody's claim when I am AFK, all they need to do is pick up the tower and drop a new one and they own my boat. The only safe places to leave a boat is Freeport, Neutral Point, a Player Owned island, or your own zone. I used to just sail about and log out where I was, not anymore. And these claim towers: No cost other than island points, no decay, cant damage, and no decay timer. Once its down that it. Nothing else to talk about So I am thinking about what's going to happen after the wipe. A mad rush to max out the building tree so we can all spam claim towers? Then what? Honestly I don't know if I have the energy for it.

Well there goes my seed shop.

You do what the rest of us did: You grind it out. If you're thinking you're going to get a schooner the first day your logged in, you may be in for some disappointment. And some of us LOVE that dynamic. Ships should mean something. Seeing a gally for the first time this season was special. And that's a good thing. And once you get rolling, gold is easy. So stop fussing and put in the work.

They usually do that after going into another zone and drop in the new zone. I ALWAYS check my tames after zoning. Ive had to turn around and fetch them many times. But to me, it feels like its gotten better.

I see it being discussed all over. I also made a ticket like I am guessing many others have. But have they made any official statements regarding it that I have missed?

Have they officially announced a wipe yet? I don't care wither way, just say "Yes" or "no" please.

The problem is they aren't answering the question. It would be so much simpler if they just said yes or no. By ignoring the question, it creates hype and a bit of drama. I simply want to know so I can save 45 minutes a day emptying farmhouses and feeding tames. And of course, when there is a non answer its a passive yes. Id probably have better success asking them if they intended on packing the supreme court....

What if they just add some ? I'm ok with a wipe. Just wish they would say it so I dont have to feed 50 bears every day.

Official?

Is there a wipe with the update?

I was in this spot a couple wipes ago and made a ticket. They said they wouldn't do anything about it.

I cant get in at all. Its missing?

Wood one working fine, cant get the stone to work. What am I missing? T

I don’t have an issue with wipes. I will always accept a wipe that bring new content and fixes... BUT.... Grapeshot isn’t wiping to fix bugs; it’s not to add new creatures or quests. It’s changing the map and playstyle of the game, it wants people to play differently. It’s shifting from a lot of PvE to more PvP. That doesn’t sound terrible if you like PvP, but the problem is, MOST of the remaining people STILL logging in every day are really enjoying the PvE, the building, crafting, exploring, etc. The people that have been MOST loyal to the game are the ones in game right now playing in a PvE fashion. I like PvP too don’t get me wrong, but in Atlas I have the most fun doing the other stuff. Why is it so offensive to them that people are enjoying the game differently than they had imagined? The people I know who have left the game didn’t leave because there wasn’t enough PvP, they left because there wasn’t enough content. What metrics did they see that told them that moving away from their PvE’rs and trying to lure more PvP’rs was the way to go? There is nothing at all stopping people from playing PvP all day long every day already. That should be a clue for them. Ill log in after the wipe and give it the ole’ college try, maybe I’ll be surprised. But I am saying right now that I am not excited about it. I should be. Olthoi

What else is everybody playing? Atlas?

Did they say when? Timeline?

That worked!

All of a sudden, it was fine the first half of the day, now this. I can get in, but the game is wonky and I can't click anything. After a while I get booted with: "Network Failure Message, You have been kicked by BattlEye. Reason 'Client no responding'" I've verified game files (1 file fails every time), reinstalled the game, rebooted a few times, and even started the router. Nothing. No changes to the PC of any kind. Any ideas?

Im logged in now, I can make a boat if you are ready

OK!! The dock WILL NOT let you make a boat on your own. I NEED TO MAKE IT FOR YOU. Bring all your matts, planks, decks, sails, and a ships wheel. I start the boat, you place your planks and sails. We launch the boat, I release it to you. That's how this will work. I have done a few so far for some. Post here if you are interested. If I am ready to help, please be ready to go. I suggest pulling up your current boat next to the shipyard with everything and then reach out to me in-game or here. My in-game name is Tom Brady. I do this for FREE. I may or may not be able to help you right away, so please be patient. If you give me any attitude, you can go pound whale blubber. Thanks!

Im logged in a lot, just sailing about doing maps.

We will sort it out, and no tip required. What are you building? A brig or Gally?

I'll check it out. I may need to place the resources in it for you. Maybe you don't have large shipyard trained? What ship are you trying to build? Worst case scenario we can build it together. I'll be back in-game after 1230 EST.

Hello, There is now a Large Mythical Shipyard, 206%, available for public use in A5, Hadsonee Ait by the lighthouse. (There is also a Journeyman Small as well) All builds should be completed within 48 hours. After 48 hours unfinished builds will be cleared. There is an open Smithy, Workbenches, and Storage containers if you need them. But they are used at your own risk as they are unlocked to everybody. Plenty of room to sail up and park next to the shipyard for a more secure experience. The best practice is to make your planks, decks, sails, and a wheel before you start. Then you can build quickly and sail it out of the dock to fit and finish elsewhere. Enjoy!

Thanks! Thanks!
