Hey all, came back to Atlas after a year long hiatus.  I setup the company's webhook but it doesn't seem to be functioning.  Anyone else have this issue?  Thanks.

We're not planning to overhaul the game.

3,000 people play your game on a good day.  You may want to reconsider that.

If you're talking about the farmhouses being turned on/off by random trolls, I do believe they've already taken care of that previously. Otherwise your farmhouse will turn itself off if any of the following happen: It runs out of fuel, it reaches its weight capacity, or it reaches storage capacity.

This is still broken by the way.  You can turn on/off any farmhouse regardless of ownership, and also in PVP.

It has better reviews than Atlas, why not, right?

This game was already incredibly difficult for new players to get into, and now with the added gold cost on ships, this game has more in common with a murder hobo simulator that it does a pirate game.

When they showed off the new map, I thought they were including PVE tiles to accommodate the loss of NA PVE.  Guess I was wrong, but damn, that would be a good idea to throw in some PVE tiles, and make the resource gathering rate on them half in a PVP tile, so players still have incentive to travel to those grids in search of better yield.  Why, it might even become a pirate game at that point with PVPers hunting down resource ships traveling to and from the PVE tiles.

In the 500 hours I've played this game, I can count on a single hand, how many times my ship was sunk by another player at sea.  I cannot count the times they were destroyed from decay or offline raiding.  I considered rolling on a PvE server, but there aren't any ship battles and where's the fun in that when you're playing a pirate game?  Eventually I retired from playing, because the amount of frustration/farming heavily outweighed the fun.

It seems players have been asking the devs for some sort of extended freeport safety since release.  Something simple would do. Why not allow players to dock ships in the free port for X gold per day?  They could even go a step further and despawn the ship until the player talks with the NPC to fetch it back.

But let's be honest here.  This game has been shelved, and I won't hold my breath for any QoL improvements.

I Keep my Ladders up and when i Log off i demolish everything that can be used to sink my Ship. I Rebuild if needed, Annoying but better than Loosing The Ship bc. off this Shit!

People can still get on your ship by jumping from another one.

If it meant better server performance, stability and support, I'd gladly pay a monthly fee.
