Just yesterday, i died and did not get the option to spawn on a bed, they didn't show on map either.  I have three on ships anchored at my island.  I thought they changed the rules on beds, but no one else seems to have had this problem.  

There was no timer. I only died once.

I had to spawn at a freeport and move back to my island 2 sectors away.

Am I doing something wrong?  Or is this a bug?

1. Implement some kind of trade mechanic

2. buggy animals (all the things aforementioned)

3. put pin codes on more things we make

4. server stability

5. Less work on Taming Skill Tab, are we pirates or animal handlers?  I"m confused.

I never played arc, I read the review's watched youtube and stayed well clear of it.

I'm just like you.  I'm not sure if you're hating the game or loving it, but wishing these things were adressed, so I put my experience below each of your points...

 

 

 

1) Technical issues during release, I ignored this eventually got in after 14 hours and went to playing, most mmo's have terrible releases this is common to some extent.

Same, but this doesn't really bother me, since it's being worked on.

 

2) Advertised 8gig ram, was simply not true.  I bought the game for friends who still haven't been able to play.

Probably true, most games that give the required specs, if your computer is just at "required" it's going to be pretty crappy.

 

3) Releasing an MMO into even an early access environment without any type of economy???? Mind boggling!!!

Oh man do I agree with you here!!  How can you have an MMO with no trading mechanic??  Throwing stuff on the ground and hoping that the other player is honest is the worst idea ever!  There's so much economy potential in Atlas, how could they have missed this?

 

4) Hiding professions behind other skill tree's and making everyone have to go down the same sets of skills????

Some skills unlocking other skills is normal.  But why can't we preview the pane before we unlock it?  That's really annoying if we're not familiar with that skill tree.  At least we can fully respec right now after each level.

 

5) An unlimited flag placement system to claim land???  Further confused bye actually lowering the timers to contest and steal???  

The claim system is getting addressed.  They know they need to fix this.  I just live in Lawless lands right now

6) You have demonstrated a pattern of not taking action against griefers, hackers and trolls??? 

You sure about this?  Seems to me, there's already been patches to address some of these issues?  

 

7) Not immediately implementing a New server or two to take the load off of the current servers instead simply waited for your customers to leave in frustration?  

FOr a "game" that takes so many people, it sure seems crowded everywhere we go.

 

8  Amazing lack of communication when not meeting your release deadlines that you imposed on YOURSELF???  If you weren't ready why did say you were???

Starting issues.

 

9)  An obvious lack of any kind of content, that didn't previously exist in arc?  How much time and effort was really put into this project? At this point it screams cash grab!

not sure what you mean.

 

10) Over powered predators everywhere and no attempts to balance?

they are working on this.  but good lord it needs addresing!

 

11) Making ships of the damned agro on rafts?

they do?  how close did you get?  i've easily passed them

 

12) Blueprints thats are more trouble then there worth.

true, not sure what's the point of these.

 

13) Sheet music that just clutters inventory

True

 

14) Complete lack of Safe Zones

Freeports?

 

15) Complete lack of proper siege mechanics

Not tried any sieges.

 

 

ever played SWG back in the day?  I  was a smuggler...who didn't smuggle ANYTHING.  I just made drugs. lol

This reminds me of those days

powerful slow hit seems useless right now, till they fix animal clipping and teleporting.

I use my sword most of the time, my island has spiders, giant snakes, and mountain lions.  Spiders and snakes are easy kills for me, but flying/teleporting mountain lions that grab me and hold me in the air till i'm dead?  I don't have the technology to kill something like that!!

How do you trade materials?  Just drop yours in front of the other person and hope for the best?

it should be noted that unpurified sea salt contains many other things than just salt. calcium as well as other organic compounds and organisms. mostly harmless but if you are sourcing your sea salt from contaminated waters you also get those contaminants in your finished product.

considering the technological age the game is based in most people are likely dumping all of their raw sewage and other waste right into the ocean. meaning that any water collected from within a claim is likely contaminated with all sorts of gross things. to add a touch of realism the water should have to be taken from outside a claim, or take a second purification step. ether would help limit the use of the salt to make blasting powder.

Harvesting salt from the sea would not contain sewage at all.  It would just be minerals, primarily salt.  YOu could boil the sea water till all water evaporates, then harvest salt.

Also, considering the time period the game is in, the oceans aren't polluted at all.  They can handle sewage from the low population of that time.  The polluted waters were rivers and lakes getting too much sewage because they're near the big cities of that day.

I'd be a Farmer doing nothing but wheat right now if we could trade.

This game is very fun and huge potential.

We need a trading mechanic in game, immediately!  The only way to trade anything is I drop mine and he drops his, and we hope like hell each other is honest.

that doesn't work!  This game has the potential and already a lot of the tools to rival Eve in sandbox MMO universe.  BUt not having a way to trade is bad mojo.

By the way, i'm loving the game. lol
