I've never lost animals from the ship since they fixed the send to ship command. If I do see an animal jumping or feet off the deck I quickly jump on it to reset it then run back to the wheel as I'm usually solo these days when playing. This game is a real grind and I think it needs to change for the people who don't have alot of time on their hands. Fortunately I do have the time but it's not fun for people who don't and they lose their things like this. These days I only log in to reset timers and feed animals. The game has become to boring for me now, very little to do anymore, repetitive. The game needs a huge shakeup with new things added. The communication from the devs is appalling. They could easily share things with the community to keep people interested, the longer they stay silent the more people will leave. They should take notice because new games are just around the corner, couple of months including New World and possibly Skull and Bones. I know for one once these are released it is bye bye Atlas for me as it stands.

I agree also, I've stopped playing it and I only log in to reset my timers and feed the animals. I'm hoping the update this month is going to bring us new changes, I won't h old my breath though. Until they add more things into the game then I won't be playing it anymore. For me the development is far to slow, for 1 year you would probably expect to see alot more things implemented in the game by now. My opinion is I don't think they will end up with a good finished game, judging by how it's gone in 1 year tells me they are incapable of developing this game into what it should be like. I don't think bringing 1 new person onboard is going to change that. With Other games coming up such as New World and maybe Skull and Bones, I think they will lose many more players, people have just got fed up of it and I start to find it repetitive. There is nothing to keep players engaged in the game, especially trading wise. Freeports are just left in the game empty, I mean anyone with half a brain should know these zones could be used for many things and bring players together but nothing has been done with them for a year. The honeymoon period for this game was well and truly over months and months ago and until the devs wake up and take notice then it's downhill all the way.

Funnily enough I had this in the Red Dead Redemption game, I thought it was just the game. I have rtx 2080 so knew it wasn't my card. Never had this happen in Atlas though. It is very strange when it happens but not happened for weeks for me. Usually when you moved around alot in game it vanishes and goes back to normal, at least for me.

I remember near to release I lost mine in the freeport, so many lessons have been learned since then You think that was bad? You should have seen it when it was first released, a ship of the dammed decided to take it upon himself to come right into the shipyard and shoot at my ship, it wasn't even complete yet but that was the normal back then.

More furniture is not coming until the end of the games development, I heard that from the horses mouth so to speak (Jat) I would like more structures and building parts also but I know it's not going to happen anytime soon.

Knew they would be no new items though, a few bug fixes doesn't cut it I'm afraid. I said I might have believed the harvest rates etc but knew there would be no items or new gameplay. They are saying January, the least they could do is let people know what is coming up, you know that roadmap they talk about. Where are they at? What are they including? Communication with the community is still atrocious.

Well the game is down to around £3 right now, that should tell you everything. Even the Xbox crew won't save them, just a short sticking plaster.

I've never played PvP because I think its more for large companies which I don't like, I like to own my own things and feel what I'm working for is myself and not someone sitting at the top of a big company. This is another reason to scrap companies and go with factions where everyone can watch each others backs but not tied into large company. I play PvE and its fun, you still have dangers from animals but yes you won't have danger from other players. I really hope they go down a faction route and maybe have PvE and PvP on 1 server splitting the big map for this.

I wish you could put npc on ship wheel and have option to send it somewhere on the map while you do something else or take another ship yourself. The ship would not get to the destination straight away but will take an hour or so depending on distance. Never played Naval Action but think its similar. With there being not much to spend gold on how about using it to speed up travel? The npc need to change while sailing though, needs better AI.

You'll be lucky, we've hardly got anything in 1 year nevermind over Christmas. The x2 harvesting and taming I might believe but different items also? Nope. It's about time they come out and let people know what is going on with the roadmap, they were supposed to keep players up to date with progress. I bet when New World comes out in May people will abandon Atlas even more because of lack of updates and items.

I've had times like that when i've killed a couple and seems like there is non left. You just have to hunt around for them and wait for a respawn. Other times i've gone there and there has been loads of them, enough to tame with. It certainly hasn't took an hour for them to re spawn though.

Have you also tried clicking follow and then go on to the ship to see if it goes on there? This is the reason I'm always careful when seeing traps all over the place, i've almost done it myself. Hope you find the company if the follow doesn't work, try putting a sign up near the trap hopefully they are good people and will destroy the front part for you.

When is the next update for Atlas? I'm starting to get very bored and tired of the same things. I think it is long overdue in adding more things to the game, it's been out for 1 year now and it feels like it hasn't got very far along in the games development. It would be nice to have some sort of trading in the game or map wide auctions but for that you will also need more items and weapons in the game, it just feels to be going all to slow lately with this game. It can be very frustrating when you see in your mind how it could be and developers who can't seem to improve the game. I was hoping for a December big update but they have said nothing, no communication on these forums what so ever, you know the place where it is supposed to be "official forums"

Only if I can pay by cheque and they pay by instant transfer

Never took any on the ship, usually bears and such float near the border if it was glitched but if it just fell off then it should be where it fell off, good luck with finding it though. Just tame another, there is loads of them in freeports and yes they gather fish, kertnoids and rodents but for fish they only catch 10 I think, you'd need quite a few cats.

Well anyone in game can say things like that, I just wouldn't believe them at all. The devs have been known to get pally with certain people though and choose to speak to those on Discord. I don't agree with it personally, they shouldn't be pally with anyone because it gives out the wrong impression. They should be more active here for a start, this is the official forums for Atlas, you wouldn't think so , you really wouldn't.

Never seen that before but as already stated wouldn't it just kill you? Unless you have diving suit of course but won't get far.

Some discoveries are not there, I've also looked on some grids where 2 are left, I had been using a guide for all discoveries but 2 left. Used spy glass and never found them, I think some of them are either bugged or just not there.

They are a head ache if they sit outside your base and nobody moves them. Before the wipe I had 2 galleons blocking my base area, thought nothing of it at first thinking they won't be there long as they are galleons. A week went by and still there, never moved an inch. I read the patch notes at the time, think it said 14 days and they will be gone. Day 14 thinking I'm going to get my base area back, nope. It was closer to 4 weeks when they vanished for me, I don't think timers work correctly anyway, should be visible. You can't do anything with them I'm afraid other than wait it out. Smaller ships even sloops can be used to grief, once the anchor is green there is no moving it.

Wow they finally brought in fast travel? Just kidding lol.

Well I wouldn't mind them replacing it with the current official server, adding a new one would split the numbers again but maybe to try it out initially yes. Well certain areas of the map could be made for PvE and any PvP player coming into those areas will not be able to destroy or kill. You stray out of the faction zone though and you are at risk of being killed but being in a faction you all help each other maybe for a common goal of some kind? Maybe each faction works towards something to get people working together like this? Just ideas. From what they are saying I don't think we are going to be building much on land in the future anyway, not sure about the tames. I think they've said already they want us more at sea than on land so why not just use the land to make more quests and more buried treasures if they want us at sea? I only play PvE, i've never played PvP in this game but I'm not against having us all in the 1 server if you are protected in parts of it. I like the idea of the risk when venturing outside of the faction area. I don't know what the numbers are like now in this game but they were losing many players, something has to change in the game because coming back after wipe all the time is not going to cut it I'm afraid. They want the numbers back they will need to do something to turn the game around. I remember when it came out there was so many players online you couldn't get on the server at times. They wanted 40k players online they had said, won't get anywhere near it in the current state. There was a mod called Breaking Point for Arma 3 which had factions, I know it has nothing in common with this game but it did have different factions and each faction had their own specialities and you choose from the start which faction you would like to join. Maybe they could have different specialities in this game related to pirate themed? I don't think it will change personally but I was just throwing ideas out there like others have.

I think they could use the land for more buried treasures and add the pirate encampments to them. I don't know why they have multicoloured ships of the dammed, not a fan of them to be honest. Why can't we have the real ships that we currently make? Add them into the game the same way ship of the dammed are now, put NPC on them that fight back and make it so we can board those ships to take anything they have on them. I'd much rather they changed from companies to factions though, that would make it easier to help out others and make pvp and pve in the 1 server, each faction has their own place on the map where you start out. The freeports could be used for all faction members to meet up and if they had events on they could have the festival atmosphere like they show in their videos that was supposed to be in from the start or so we thought. So many ideas they could come up with for this game but they don't seem to listen to the way the community wants it to go, it's their way or the highway and many chose the highway, it's about time they learn from their mistakes.

Flying tames or airships would be nice in this game, it could help solve time taken to travel. Never tried the dragon thing but something like that to have all the time I'd like, it reminds me of Game Of Thrones. They have submarines in a pirate game so don't know why no airships.

Yes that bug has been fixed, has been fixed for months now. You can teleport them on ships no problem, they don't vanish. I've not had 1 problem seen they fixed it.

I have said from the very beginning I don't think the game is in the right hands meaning devs, they don't even seem to be organised with showing road maps or streaming. Yes I think they tried to make some quick money with the xbox, they have admitted on stream themselves it hasn't gone as good as they'd expected, what a surprise. I've been playing since it was released, last December I believe and by now I would have expected to see more things in the game including items, not the odd few cosmetics. If this game was released by a big dev team like Blizzard or ZeniMax then I'd have more confidence in it. I'd happily pay a subscription every month if it went down those lines but only if there was a whole lot of stuff in the game like other MMO's quests, items, trading etc. This dev team will not finish this game anywhere near what is in my mind at least and probably many others.
