Could have all been solved by moving to a 3 or 4 faction system. They want more action at sea? Let different factions set sail and take over another. I remember the original claim system and all you saw was spamming flags as far as the eye can see, if that comes back I won't be back. All the water on the server is wasted, they could just increase the islands to give more people a chance to build. People are running around islands while the sea is empty, doesn't make sense. If they had more things on the sea I probably could understand but sailing across water just to get to a small island, pointless.

I had a similar problem with the warehouse a long time ago and gave up with it. They now have it a race against others to place their structures first, how is that a good experience for players? They should have it where you share resources from other structures if you can't place them. You would not think it is PvE when it's a fight for survival placing structures. I dread to think what the new claim system will be like, I will give it another go providing their is a wipe but they've tried everything already with claims. You will still get people abusing it 1 way or another. They could have added Pirates coming into islands on ships and you have to defend against them, something along those lines but I think that would be way over the heads of the current devs.

I had a little go of Atlas again recently but didn't last long when I heard there will be a new claim system. I know all to well there will be a wipe when they put that in again like the last time, not worth playing right now. Once they wipe it and put the claim system in I might give it another go from scratch again (must be mad) does anyone know what the claim system is going to be like? We've had a few haven't we? Started off planting flags everywhere then changed to 1 flag per island, what will it be now?

Easiest way was by doing shipwrecks, as soon as you can make the diving attachment put it on a ship, it will fit on the sloop. You can have a few thousand by the end of the day.

Used to be 2 per island, I don't know if that has changed. Personally I'd like to see the lighthouse at a much longer range, nowhere near enough for what lighthouse should be. Same with the flares, they don't have much of a range either, pointless addition. Flares should be used to signal danger or trouble and should be seen right across the server not just a fraction of it.

Never played for months and going from plans I won't be back. Why fantasy themed? Just make a true pirate game, you go into fantasy it stops becoming pirates. They are looking at going back to original claim system in some way? Dear god. Why don't you just give us factions? Or are you incapable. Having fun in other games, I don't see myself playing this anymore. Scrap the game and just go back to Ark.

With them not bothering to look into tickets so much it's a case of fighting fire with fire. Build those huge wooden walls and place them around people who are griefing you that should get them running towards you crying "please take down your walls" it's the start of negotiations. If it was me seeing as though the devs don't care I would leave them up until they decide to play nice and remove what they have, you don't want to play nice? Get used to those huge wooden walls then.

Oh dear, proving what many of us already knew. I just wish some top devs had this game under their control instead of amateurs, we would see a much better game than we've got. Not played it in a couple of months and don't intend to but it's so sad to see it going downhill when it could be a very good pirate game. They've never listened to the community to gain any direction on how the game should be, it's not them playing it it's us the community, our voices should matter in the development. Frustrating as I want this game to be a success but it will never be that even at full launch not that I think it will get to that stage. I don't this this game can survive under the current devs which is unfortunate,

PvP will always come first, it is their main focus, I believe they have said this before. I don't play PvP, I'm PvE only but I know it will be left behind while they work on PvP. Would much rather they change to factions and bring all players together on maybe 3 faction system. I've give it a rest for a long time but still like to see peoples thoughts on game in forums. Still haven't seen devs here though.

No wipe but even if there was I won't be back anytime soon. I let my last place go, could not even be bothered to log in every week to reset. I hope someone is enjoying my gold and taking good care of the animals. Will see what they add next year before I consider coming back. Forgive me for not having faith in these devs.

Trouble is there isn't much to spend gold on, they don't have much of a gold sink in this game. It just sits in the box and only mainly used for upkeep. They should be adding more things to spend gold on, i don't think this trade system will turn the game around, damage is done.

I won't be back after any wipe, I have done so so far but not anymore. The only way they will get me back now is if they overhaul the game and change how it is including adding alot more content to it and I don't just mean the odd cosmetic. No huge update then no more players it's as simple as that. I've seen the numbers go from 40k day 1 right down to in the low thousands, for an MMO that is unacceptable. I don't blame others for not coming back either, know exactly how they feel, been led down the garden path to many times, the devs are deceiving.

Haven't been here for awhile into other games now but judging by the posts I guess they still haven't done anything, why am I not surprised. You are only hurting yourself if you have any faith in these devs, the game is finished. You either enjoy it as is or not at all and I choose not at all anymore, finished with it.

There was a video going around a long time ago over a year I think where it showed a Twitch streamer came up against a hacker that had spawned in planes and tanks, I found it funny to watch and just goes to show the shambles of this game. Getting paid to sit on their ass all day long doing nothing at all, must be nice eh. It wouldn't surprise me if they all played other games in their office.

See for yourselves, notice December on release 40k players which they wanted on a regular basis. Then they go and shoot themselves in the foot and leave Atlas to go back to Ark, look at the numbers they don't lie, the game is finished. Steam chart for Atlas

Stopped playing weeks ago now, only log in to reset timer incase something unexpected comes along. When I first started this season it was 28 players on the server I am on, I log in this morning and it is 5 was 8 a few days ago. If they really wanted Atlas to succeed they could easily take devs from Ark and stick them onto Atlas and focus on that until it is at a decent level then go back to splitting team. I gave the new devs a chance but knew it wouldn't turn out very well. They can't even be bothered to come onto the forums, their OFFICIAL forums. Think they are just going through the motions and know the game is dead which is why they won't do much with it.

He is a troll on here trying to get a rise out of people, wouldn't give him the time of day to be honest.

It was supposed to be an MMO, they anticipated 40k players playing on it but even on day 1 everyone knew that was unachievable with the way the servers were back then. I forgave them for bugs because it was early days, the first week everywhere you looked players were running around but there is nowhere to hide for them 2 years later. It should not be classed as MMO today though, they should drop that tag and just concentrate on improving what they have but we know they won't. It won't turn out to what I thought it would be in my head with lots of exciting things to do and economy etc, just not going to happen at any time. They only hope is some company out there is working on a game like it for the future but that is anyones guess.

Day 1 was fun but hell of alot more bugs than there is now, the wolves and lions used to go crazy jumping all over the place, worse than it is today. When I thought about it on day 1 I was excited thinking in time they will add alot more things and will have loads of people to interact with, never thought it would come to this. Really don't get why they just don't change to faction system and throw everyone on PvP server, many would like that. I'm not a PvP person but given you are in a faction at least you have some sort of protection. I've never seen 1 dev come here to post on these forums or even acknowledge anything yet they have the bare face cheek to slip in under the radar to post patch notes then slam the door on the way out, appalling from them.

I don't play it anymore but I do log in every few days to reset timers so when I saw the update of changing the range of warehouse I took the opportunity to try and place it again. I still could not place it down, saying another warehouse in close range and the distance from me and that warehouse is large distance. I gave up with it and put it back in the box. Personally I think they should do away with warehouse and just use farmhouse, increase the amount it stores, it would be so much easier. They don't think about these things, just come up with an idea and say lets throw it in there, to hell with how it works.

It wouldn't surprise me to be honest, not that they would tell us. The funny thing is they could turn all this around and make a great game or even move it to a new engine for better updates but it comes down to either they have no money or incapable of understanding code or both. I haven't played it for a couple of weeks now, don't plan to play it. I noticed on the server I am on when I used to log on in the morning there used to be around 28 players, log in to reset timer on a morning and now I see 6. The game has been dying slowly for a long time, I'm actually surprised I pumped 1800hrs into it, i've had my fun with it but the fun has gone now.

So @CaptBlackSparrow only here to troll, who would have guessed

You would think some of them actually play the game and get a feel for it themselves, I know I would if I was working on the game. I'd want to know first hand what these problems are. The guy next to me must have stayed up until the minute the server went live again because he is the only one who has a warehouse on my island, quick I will give him that.

They've already quit in droves When it was first released there was huge numbers in the game, it slowly died down though. Some of us still remain god knows why but we do in the hope something will change but it hasn't. They have said they are making PvE into something else, whatever that means though is anyones guess? They are driving PvE players away so maybe this is their intentions? I don't know but they aren't doing a good job so far. If they changed it to factions I would love to play PvP, you would have other fellow faction members to come to your aid if need be for a common purpose but there is no way I'm playing PvP to be ganked by huge companies when I'm solo. Most of the companies just get you to farm resources all day, it's not my idea of fun, I like to do my own thing also.

Yeah it's stupid isn't it, that's what i've done from the beginning just put a resource box down and manually transfer it across. I've got loads of resources in the chest, more than I know what to do with. I've never had the chance to test the warehouse because it won't let me place it, saying 1/1 already there. I went looking around the island and I saw 1 which was nowhere near me and I'm thinking why is it not letting me put it down then? So must be a massive radius. Could they not just have let us use resource boxes like we are but they automatically go in there? Link them to the farmhouse, would have been easier and save space. I've gave it a break for awhile, I did last time until the wipe but I just can't get into it like I once did. I will log in to keep timer going just incase they pull something out of the hat unexpectedly but I very much doubt it.
