Hey bud, do you walk on your hands? because you sure as hell talk out of your ass. Also can I make a prediction!. You will get detention on Tuesday because you didn't do your homework because you were too busy typing this S@%T. No facts to back up this tripe. I remember similar doomsayers on ark and it is STILL going.

Have they said the date of the server wipe?

I thought I read some where, that Grapeshit wanted to reduce the amount people built to help increase server performance? If this is the case where on earth is your logic when it comes to reducing the blocking range of a foundation? 3 weeks ago I had 1 Chinses foundation preventing me putting a wall on MY foundation, then you reduced the effective range of foundations, I managed to get that wall up, but latest patches instead of 1 foundation there are now 3 all people are doing is placing MORE pillars/floors to claim the same amount of land. makes no sense what so ever,

My pets are in a large stone building, in some places the STONE floors are 5 deep as to make the building level, when I logged in before the patch I COULD NOT mount my Rhino, his feet seemed to be through the floor, BUG NUMBER ONE. I am not demolishing 8 stone floors to get it out because of BUG TWO stupid stone requirements "get a brain", yes I know it isn't technically a bug but nearly almost as much metal as stone wtf is it reinforced concrete? WELL CLEARLY NOT AS WOOD IS STRONGER, so I logged out and came back after the patch which brings me to BUG THREE the Rhino has vanished. NO IT WAS NOT KILLED, all my other pets are there and there is nothing in the log, it has just VANISHED I spent 8 hours getting it, from sailing to it's location to killing mobs trying to get one to spawn. Sort out your incompetent coders and give me back my TIME.

Head on over to his Discord, http://www.discord.gg/YHGWPyd you can see all patch notes there and download any new builds he makes.

Yes maybe if we could get the 22000 people who play to all send one.

Nice to see this topic still has people's interest, but, I still do not see anything happening about it, I DO NOT see any feedback from the developers one way or another, almost as if the people who pay for the game and the people who play the game DO NOT matter.

Sorry , what were each grid supposed to hold 150 players? This is a few days after a 5% server performance boost. Any chance you can stop work on the upcoming patch, what is it, "oh Yea" Bounty system and fix the shit you have already. I can tell you now, with the amount of offline raiding going on now, your bounty system is going to be a heap of bugfest crap.

Sadly I think if they were going to rollback the change they would have done it by now, so it looks like the game is perma ruined

I kind of agree they already have our money, and being realistic how many more new customers are gonna buy this game, with both the amount of negative comments out there and the fact it is just an Ark mod rehashed. Unless they do actually start listening to the community then yes this game is dead in the water.

Are we hijacking this post and turning it into a wish list ok. 1: I want the developers to think before applying patches. 2:I want full Global chat not just the cluster grid you are in So we can form alliances to do any game content as solo and small companies. 3:I want more official servers 4: I want to stop losing Bears to Alpha Lions ( If I am lucky enough not to get 1 shotted by the Lion while on the bear I can kill the Lion, if I die my Bear is usless) 5: I want all Pillars and floors not connected to another Wiped from all servers 6 World Peace Being serious if they really are releasing patch 17 today instead of February it is for one reason and one reason only, to mask the negativity of the last patch, which in itself is really funny as most of their last lost of content is buggy as shit, so what hope do subs have.

Again sorry I only play on Pve, I cant dedicate the hours to protecting something pvp, Only needs Stone for protection against Alphas and Looks

I do have an elephant and Rhino so need to keep riding 3, but here is another issue with half hearted efforts Bulls are supposed to be good for Thatch, So I Tamed a level 30 Bull but I go out on my Bear and use a metal pick because 1 it doesn't pick up 8000% more berries than thatch and 2 the pick harvests twice as fast as the Bull

click on the resource and it shows you what grid they are in, its a work in progress

Thanks, beat me to it, I got side tracked.

Hey but look on the bright side they increased server performance by 5% last patch so when you are sailing now you only rubber band back 100 metres instead of 105 metres so you will get to the sap tree quicker.

lol I don't do bigger pictures I play solo, I was fortunate I managed to build my Stone base the day before this patch hit, I have now specced out of stone as I don't need it but it free'd up something like 16 points or something because you have to take crafting speed 1,2 and 3 before you can actually take Stone. The point is Grapshot atm are just giving half hearted fixes to massive game breaking problems. Too Many Building affecting server performance (week 3 of the game, what are they expecting week 187) No spend money increase server performance and ironically their fix could actually increase buildings. Too many Wolf spawns, kill wolf spawn almost completely, now snake run rampant and no wolves to tame. instead of actually spending 5 minutes changing spawn rates to the point of balance. Weight Griefing The easiest fix and probably the most hard hitting to the griefers is the minute the ships sinks instant death, they would die and lose all resource and pets they had, instead no you float above deck and cannot really move so some people innocently get stuck. Land Claim Cheese, instead of removing it until a proper fix they make it so Land Owners (cheesers) can "ALLOW" others to build on it, at which point he cheesers can revoked the rights and take everything you build or in most cased "NOT ALLOW" others to build. These are just 4 of the many many many half hearted and pathetic fixes they have made. But hey don't worry the dev kit is out modders will save the day right?

I think I saw an Atlas map that had a breakdown of resource locations, Ill see if I can find in my history.

I think the amount of skill points it takes to actually get stone crafting offset the need for metal, with the new costs and nerfs to strength it's way cheaper in both skill points, time and materials to put 2 layers of wood instead of 1 layer of stone, which increases buildings to worsen server performance rather than improve it

Don't feed the idiot Troll who ironically called me the Troll I do like this idea of having to trade resources, except the Land Claim grab week one has made it very unfair, what does the guy sitting on a 3 x 3 foundation spot of land have to trade with a Company that cheesed 28 islands in week one?

Dude what point of STFU do you NOT GET? Your idea of keeping metal and paste in Stone was stupid, Although this is NOT ARK, it is ARK there were not metals or pastes in Stone Structures except maybe gates, they had metal structures which is pretty much what have now done in ATLAS, Either rename Stone Structure in Atlas to Metal Structures OR rollback the change put 10 minutes work in and create a Metal Tree for Skills.

dude STFU As many have pointed out making stone more expensive and weaker all they are going do is increase building as people build more layers to defend, making stone cheaper and stronger would have been the fix not the total opposite.

I appreciate you trying to be helpful but the vitamins are just another item on a list of FAILS, I do try and maintain my vitamins to the point of equilibrium , yet nearly every time I get to the point of vitamin deficiency while still on 3/4 full stomach, so its easier to just suicide than muck around

First of all I started this post, secondly get your head out of your own ass, and my opinion is backed by 90% of the replies on this post, rollback the last change.

I totally disagree by halving the metal and paste costs would suggest that the overall idea of stone containing metal and paste is a good one, when in fact it is a terrible idea, I say put it back how it was and work on getting a Metal Structure tree in place, how you are meant to instead of making half assed efforts.
