I think a good few will come back to see the developments. at least the same amount of people we saw online regularly before the wipe announcement. I could compare what's happening to the game and population in atlas after the constant postponements to.... going to war and you're ambushed by the enemy... your men are dying all around you so you call the generals on the radio asking for air support and reinforcements... general tells you they're in bound and will be there in 15 min... instead, the general sends air support to go bomb a village of civilians then tries to contact you on the radio a week later to tell you they'll help you out next time... you and all your men are already dead but the generals do this over and over throughout the war... the devs are the generals... and theyre gonna lose the war if they keep that up. They're running out of soldiers and giving little reason for new ones to enlist. Most have moved on to other wars already.

I come on here every day and I swear, I see the same exact shit spewed over and over again. No one knows what's best for the game until people actually start playing it again and no one knows what the devs are actually doing until they do it, okay? Yall act like the game isn't already dead. I hate to say it (really do) but numbers don't lie. We will see what happens after 1.5 and then we all can go back to acting like we know anything about where this game is going lmao

god damn rich kids and their cool toys

well... all content is good content. I'd like to see pvp have more meaning other than just destruction. I want profit. I wanna see merchant companies sprawling threw out the game... i wanna hunt merchant ships and rob them blind. But, only way that's gonna happen is if bases can build up and stay open without getting wiped by a mega lookin for a quick thrill.

not necessarily. the new raid window and claim system might just get the ball rolling. Trade, community events and exploration. that's the foundation of an mmorpg.

idk why it can't be a pvp sandbox game AND an mmorpg.

Cmon now, thats why these kind of games are so popular. Some of our favorite activities growing up were running around screaming pew pew. Cops n robbers. Cowboys and indians. Getting tied to a tree and beat with a wiffle bat. Ya know? The good ol days. This game is an echo of the good ol days.

jussss calling the idea dumb, not the idea holder. Bear cannons are cool. maybe could add a slight increase to reloading time and disallow exploding barrels being shot from them.

that would be stupid.

I mean, mega should exist... they just shouldn't be able to zerg fools and wipe entire grids at once. Should be like Trading leagues or something..

Welcome to The Atlas Fighters Guild! Where all companies are welcome. Coming to a player town near you! Dedicated discord for setting up fights, tournament qualifier rounds, and LIVE BETTING! Where the prosperous come to wager their coin. Where the brave come to fight for glory n' riches. Just like in the Gladiator fight pits of Rome, the stadium comes complete with an undercroft for contestants to prepare for battle. Do you have what it takes to be a champion? I will be building this stadium on the NA PVP (Colony) PTR to advertise THE GRAND OPENING OF THE ATLAS FIGHTERS GUILD! After that, once Atlas 1.5 is released to the official servers, I will be building these bad boys all over the atlas. Everyone is invited to participate. Large companies who intend to grab islands day one of the wipe and host multi company player towns, are encouraged to hit me up if you'd like me to build on your island. With the potential traffic the fighters guild could bring, trade could be booming. See you there PS: For those who'd like to see the build before the PTS (it looks better in person), I build it on NA PVP, L7, Neuver Island, amongst the ruins of a prior civilization. North side of the island. Neuver island is the west most island in the zone.

probably would actually be a good idea tbh

what you got in mind lol ( i never claimed to be smart )

Sometimes i watch the forums and read posts like this... and im like

try PVE, sounds just like the kinda safe space your fragile ass needs.

Man you got 900 hours in this game and your really gonna say atlas is a horrible game? lmao the hypocrisy is beyond evident. since you like to spend so much time doing "horrible" things, go stare at the sun. See how long you last. bet you wont get 900 hours.

NO! its mine. you cant take it from me.

Although i find this to be a sugar coated form of censorship and has vast potential for unethical social engineering... Considering Atlas's dilemma of population growth and player retention brought on by horrible foresight and an obvious lack of discipline when it comes to development coordination, Im inclined to let this censorship slide in the name of progress. Read this: https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1808664240333155775 On that note, the devs have best get their shit together for this ptr moving forward and knock it out of the park to earn the good reviews and reputation that will bring the population where Atlas deserves to be. Its a 40k player server. fill those puppies. If done right atlas could be the next runescape.

How to counter the mega's joining the colony system and fucking it up: if you don't have a structure on the island you plan to attack befor the attack, the number of people justify the raid window. that would make things very hard on mega's. no matter their resolve to break the mechanics. most would say fuck it and leave them to their own thing. <50 people raid = 9 hours raid window to attack the island. >120 people raid = 1 hour. Boom.

are you saying that grids are getting zerged by farmers and crafters?

I mean i like what you've said but you can't put fully pve safe space grids on pvp oriented servers. Pve scenarios like dungeons are awesome, so is factions, but you still need to be able to kill people, structures, and whatever else you wanna kill in all spaces. I once supported the idea of playor towns on freeports. but that was about it, for the sake of getting trade started. trade/commerce and pve work even in pvp just there's gotta be the risk of other players playing pirates and bad guys in all spaces ya know what i'm sayin? I'm also not gonna lie, last night when i responded to your OP, i was already up for 23 hours waiting for the captain's log and was kinda upset after i read it, then after that when i wrote this lol. I didn't even read it till now really, b4 it just saw the map.

I just wanna cry.

the whig fools me every time

that's not what your sister said. she loves it when i give her a pie
