Attention: Devs. The latest Q & A is completely terrible for PVE players, which should be a considerable amount of your very loyal player base.. Your latest Q & A stating your intentions to not make any more PVE "content" at all (bosses / quests ). All the while, there have been plenty of complaints from players that you should focus on more interesting content, cause of us PVE players always running out of things to do.. ( in case a player doesn't like breeding). Please take note of this, if you want to retain your tons of really loyal, long term PVE players. Aswell as keep new ones from leaving, after a short while. I want to add that, in my company during these 2 years, when we gather up to do things like powerstones, Kraken, or Ice Cave, everyone in the crew "wakes up", and comes online again, after being passive and not gaming for a while, etc. Even old players that have been offline for quite a while, often come back, at those more special occasions. So, a few more side quests/smaller and easier bosses to do, would add tremendous ways to "lure in" new and old players into the game. Just my 2 cents. Regards from a day 1 (PVE) player.

Exactly, only 3 grids, and that is including your own... so it practically means 2 grids outside ur own... very limited as of now. Yeah I remember all about the hard olden days, have played the game since day 1. It is easier with the warehouses, even if the trading is limited, we still have to travel for a lot of the materials etc.

@Nacona Hehehe, sorry to say, that is absolutely 100% wrong.. We have like, more gold than we can spend, to be honest. So its not about gold, but trying to make a "chain" through a few grids where we have been able to conquer some warehouse spots... .This has been done by a lot of activity and hard work by us, so I do not feel bad about it at all. The devs have made this into a game where a lot of activity is rewarded, so I see nothing wrong with it. Also, goes without saying, that if someone has 3 warehouses in g3, it might benefit them to actually have a WH in i-1 too, instead. Also, it is supposed to cover up for the fact that the trade system is very limited at the moment, seeing that people can only trade within 2-3 grids. So it is a win-win situation we are looking at, for us and another active company, to be able to haul resources we dont have in a current grid etc. Cheers

Hey there, if u live in g3, and have a warehouse location I'd like to ask you for a favor that can benefit u aswell, perhaps! We would like to exchange a warehouse spot in i-1, (on a nice claimed island), for a warehouse spot anywhere in G3 grid. To sweeten the deal, we could even offer you our warehouse location + a farmhouse location nearby, in i-1 and all you would have to give up is 1 warehouse location in G3. The reason for this is that we are trying to connect some of our warehouses in some grids. As a second alternative, we would also be interested in warehouse spots in C5 or D6, we dont have warehouse to trade there, but we could recompense u in other ways, for sure. PM me if anyone is interested, cheers mateys!

H3 and a couple of other servers/grids ( I believe H2, H1, and G11), have been offline for like 8 hours mate. We are still waiting to hear about a fix. We players can't get back in, if we have sailed or fast travelled to those grids. Sorry. We have the same issue so it is not just you. And there is nothing you can do until the dev. team fixes the server, sadly.

I understand the issue mate, however, you can still earn gold by diving (diving attachment + oil) from a sloop for sunken treasures. You can also tame a couple bears and start doing a lot of common quality maps, and maybe green maps (depending on the bears' health). It takes maybe a few days / a week, depending on how much playtime you have, but is quite doable, to get a schooner. Best of luck. That said, I agree there should be a limit to amount of farmhouses, especially on lawless etc. Cheers.

Just saying to devs: Please don't do this, it is likely a move that will kill the game entirely... Even a wipe after 4-5 months, is exhausting for a lot of players who spend a lot of time with building, breeding lines, grinding for all sorts of stuff. Not to talk about the achievement of claiming 1-2 islands, getting up at 4 am to do that, and sacrifice sleep for a whole night, etc etc. And the grind to build up a main base, get new ships etc. A wipe after 6-8 weeks is completely intolerable, and any gam devs who do this, will give their game a very bad reputation, and lose most of its playerbase. Thanks. I hope to see an official post from devs assuring us there is no plan for wiping until at least spring/late spring. The dev. rep. who said end of year on discord, that stuff needs to be said in an official statement if it's true. Cause the rage from players if you don't go public with this now, is gonna be huge. Imagine all these people grinding, grinding, grinding, for 6 weeks now. And then after that, hearing "now there's a wipe".... Gee. Too tired to write more, this whole thing was crazy to hear. Hope to hear good news from devs, soon. That they are realizing their mistake etc.

Hey mates! (PVE server) WTB Male parrot, wild levels 38-44 (or higher), and NOT spayed/neutered. Tell me your price and where u are located and we can see if we can make deal. (PVE official server). Cheers!

Hey there! As headline says, I would be very glad to buy MEAT, in bulk. Any forms are interesting: Raw, salted or cooked! Any form of meat aswell: Fish meat, Animal meat, prime meat or prime fish.Maybe you are an island owner who just has tons and tons of meat laying around in your flag/bank, and never really use it? Then might aswell sell it, right?As for quantities, the more the better. Minimum for me to come pick-up would probably be around 30.000. Also depending a little bit of where you are located, on the map, and how much you would charge. PM me if interested in selling! Cheers mates! Arrrr Or comment here.(Official PVE server only).

Hey, trying to see if this is just me, cause I've heard several people with this issue, and I don't know if anything is being done about it, or how big the problem is. For the last week or so, I've had some extreme login issues. As in, it can take me 30+ tries, to login, if I get in at all. It takes at least 20 mins or so, to get in after tons of tries. Usually the issue is that it doesn't show me a lot of grids on the login screen (from the "join" option and onwards. "Rejoin" option has been broken for me for many weeks). And then it usually says something like "failed to query server for invite". A friend in my crew can't seem to login at all. I have also heard several other people complain about these login issues. I've tried: Restarting Steam, restarting computer, verifying game files. None of this works to help with the issue. On top of this, Steam has in the last day or so started to say: "unable to sync your files of Atlas game to the steam cloud", which seems to mean it warns me that I might lose progress if I play on different computers(?). (Which I don't do). Don't know if this issue worsens the login issues with Atlas, it seems so. (But, the login issue was there long before this Steam message started popping up!). In regards to the Steam message above, I've tried deleting some folder called "userdata" or something like that. (Solution suggested on google). Didn't help. Any ideas about what is going on? Are they working on this issue, or is this just gonna persist? I know I am having this issue, and heard some people have it too... But, are there a lot of people having the issue? Can I do anything more from my side, to solve this? For me, with breeding and everything, I have to be able to reliably login. If it takes me 30 mins to login each time, this is kind of game breaking, for me. Thanks for any advice or info!

@ExploreAtlas site down right now? Was gonna go for disc. points, oh well, I guess I'll check it later again... it is so helpful for the discoveries. .. thanks

@hurricane moon Great to hear that mate! Now we are 3 or 4 small crews interested so that is great! I will think that we have to announce it a bit in advance so that people can plan on going, and so we can gather as many people as possible. I am thinking a couple of weeks from now, probably. I will inv you to our discord so u can see when i put out message to "everyone" in our discord, that way u can keep track of when we will try to go. Just let me know if there is any time or day that does not suit u. Might not be possible to find day/time when everyone can go, but, I will try to go when most people can go. Cheers! https://discord.gg/ukhYck

Great! @Mithriella I will keep searching for more small crews, also let me know if u find more groups

@Mithriella Great! We need to gather several companies, right now it is my company, (3 - 4 really active players), and then another small company, so I think we need 1 or a couple more! And then we can go. So maybe in 1 week or 2, I will keep this thread active, and I will also search in other places like Steam etc. I inv you to our discord so we can chat there and so that you can see when I announce dates for it. I will @ to everyone so u can see important messages in there. Cheers mate! https://discord.gg/9M2VvV

Hello there @Egon von Sturmberg Are you still doing Kraken and if so when is next try? I have been trying to find alliances for our small company, but only found one other small crew so far, so I think at this point we would need more companies to do it with. Please let me know if you have any plans on doing it soon, and I would gladly join you. Cheers and have a nice day.

Can confirm that their walls are almost around the whole island, I had some difficulty finding the disc.point... But yeh, when I was there recently, there was like one little area where it was open onto the sea, so you should be able to find the d.p.

Hey guys, no one else needs alliance for Kraken? We want to try it soon, maybe in just a few days from now, if possible! We have found 1 other company for alliance. Cheers!

Hey there! Yes, we are still interested in alliance and helping each other. As I said, we will try for the Ghost Ship very soon, I understand the "locator" does not seem to work, so it will be a hunt for it, I suppose. Would be awesome if you wanted to join in on that. Also, would be nice to do Krakens and eventually ice cave too maybe. I will share our discord here, so you can join that and say you are alliance from the forums, so we know who you are. (We give mostly replies in evenings in discord) Cheers mate, here is inv: https://discord.gg/evVJttP @2-of-12

Hello there! We are a small crew who have done all the powerstones and have now set a first day we are gonna try for the Ghost Ship kill, if possible. This day will be very soon. We also are looking to do Kraken some time within the next 3 - 4 weeks or so. After all that, probably Ice Cave, but we haven't planned that far ahead. Now we are looking to make alliance with other small crews, to do this. Mainly for Kraken, but other events aswell. I do not want to post any specific dates in here, because of "trolls" who might come and botch our tries etc. Instead if I do get some replies I will post invites to our discord instead, and we can chat there about setting dates etc. (Those we wanna make alliance with, have to have at least 1 battle brig or battle galleon, ammo for it, and be able to man it with at least a few people. ). Cheers, have a good day! / Jackie Sparrow Company.

@Myrmidon Oh, yeah, I didn't think the Ghost Ship itself gave any discovery points, so far I am with you. But, is the Ghost Ship needed to get the "bonus" discovery points for Kraken ? I know you are supposed to do all powerstones, to get all the discovery points when you do Kraken. I just don't know if the Ghost Ship is also counted as a "powerstone", these days. ( I think it used to be, before). Thanks for all the other info, very nice. I am not exactly sure if I can see/ make use of the "grid editor" if I am on official server, but i don't rly know how that works, so I guess I can try and download it. Thanks again.

Ahoy! Been trying to find updated info on Ghost Ship, not easy.... (including asking in Atlas discord without secure replies). Got a few questions, most importantly: Is Ghost Ship kill currently needed, to aquire all the sweet "bonus discovery points" that you get from Kraken, once you finished all powerstones? ( I think u needed also the Ghost Ship previously, not sure how it is now). For this question, please be very sure in your answer, such as "yes / no, because I have done Kraken after last wipe". Thanks! Would also appreciate anyway to find the current route.... Have googled with bad results. Also, the function of turning on the button in the quest log, does NOT seem to work... it shows me the ghost ship is on an island... Any further advice about the kill, how many ships needed, etc, also appreciated! Cheers mates! Thanks!

Good attitude, @Realist ! I am very much like that too, rarely get bored of a game, it takes a lot to bore me, and I just grind endlessly I was In WoW for X many years and never tired of it. Until very many years had passed, and friends had moved on, etc. So I don't think I will tire of Atlas either, in at least another year or so. Granted, after playing a year now, I'd be happy to see them add some kind of real "quests" etc. But, I will keep on grinding in anticipation of that. I salute your attitude here, and please, let us know how you get on with your nomad discovery point life style! Good luck with it and post about how it is going!

I bet 1 hour late I think, but I don't see my name in your list.. Anyway It does not matter maybe cause the latest news is they've delayed launch 4 hours...... lol. So sad

I honestly don't know if I could follow your very detailed instructions But I'm gonna give it a try... ! My very honest hope is that they actually do it on time, cause even on time, it will be very late for us here in EU, (including the download of the update etc). But, wisened by experience, I am gonna bet on a max of 1 hour late release. So, 1 h after relase. I feel like a fool now but hey let me be proven wrong, I hope for it so much!! I want it to be on time. Otherwise, I have no chance in hell of getting an island, cause the day after, I am back at work again, so... If they are several hours late, that will probably be the end of my journey with Atlas. I sincerely hope not, since I've been here since day 1. But, I am probably not gonna stick around, if they botch this release.. I didn't stick through 2 wipes to be stuck in a disgrace, a bad lawless situation, that's beneath me at this point

I agree with Jack Shandy, always go with at least 2 picks (for 1 mountain). It'a usually enough. If you are really nervous, have really low stamina (low level character), or if you are going to fall down and climb up repeatedly on same mountain, you can be extra safe and carry 3 - 4 picks. I really liked your thread by the way, It was really a lot of fun for me, with such a thread. It makes me think back to how much grinding it was in beginning, heh. As some of the others might have said in the thread, you can also take a break from discovering and do something else. Even if it's just building a small base somewhere where you found a resource rich island. Or taming a bear to make life easier. Or paint your whole ship and color your clothes, the clothes of your crew members. Or your own hair. The reason I say this is, there will be times when you might need stuff like this. Sometimes the wind goes dead, for a while. Then it is nice to anchor at nearest island, have that small base to teleport back to, to maybe grind a bit for wood, thatch etc. (Maybe for a brig). Sometimes even though you do all you can, the ship might actually sink due to unforeseen events. Then it is very, very nice to have that small base to start back from. Where you have gathered a lot of materials already, (in those "dead wind breaks"), to quickly build a new ship. Just a thought. Be well. PS I was a hunter in WoW too! Lol
