I see ORP as you cannot do any damage at all to bases or ships while a company / tribe is offline. I don't consider having a structure buff while offline ORP.

What other games do you speak of ?? there are no other games like Atlas and do not say EVE they are not the same.

The issue i have with ORP is that its abused and exploited to the point of game breaking. If they came up with other ideas like i suggested before by having a structure resistance so buildings and ships took way less damage to explosives while a company is offline I think would be a great solution. But to make it so they take no damage when a company is offline shouldn't happen. I have had a base in lawless area for 2 weeks untouched full of loot. Yes I have went through plenty of ships but they are easy to get. Some have even lasted days in the lawless area. Many were sunk just because i made mistakes out sailing lol.

Yes there are people leaving the game probably due to being raided offline. But the way most people are making it out to be is that it's the only reason. Which i totally disagree with. People are complaining about far more things than being offlined.

Atlas will die yes in its current state i agree. ORP will not fix that. Where do you get this crazy notion that we need ORP for atlas to live. That is not the issue.

This isn't EVE remember. You would be changing what people like about atlas and the ones that are playing official PVP. I would go as far as to suggest the ones playing in the PVP right now like it the way it is without ORP. Otherwise why would they be wasting their time if they do not like the way its setup ?

your joking right most of the complaints on reddit are about land claims and even a bunch on the forums are complaining about how they were implemented. I am not against changes as long as its not to create safe havens being ORP or safe servers to stay and live at on the PVP server.

But those games are different than Atlas in many ways. You would have to change the conecpt of the game to the point it wouldnt be Atlas anymore. It would dumb it down and make it appeal to carebears.

Yes it is EA and there will be changes. But adding ORP for official PVP to survive is not the issue. The issue is land claims and other stuff. Not ORP

The design isn't flawed people just want different style of play and instead of demanding official server to change and posting it here on the forums they are going to unofficial to play and have fun. Well I for one do not want it to change and like the setup how it is. And i know for a fact other people have the same view as I do.

And I say again there are servers with that ability already that are populated. Have at it.

What are you trying to get at here. The company did nothing wrong but troll/ grief you. Its a broken mechanic right now that SOTD can damage anchored ships.

Alot of the people I have played with in game say they do not want that. A Few of the ones that did left and went and played unofficial.

that was aimed towards majority not wanting ORP and liking the PVP aspect the way it is.

Well i would say the same. How do you know all of these people are leaving because there is no ORP ??? Take a look at reddit and see all the people complaining about the roll back losing ships, Hackers, people complaining about region locks because of chinese players. To put the blame on not having ORP is pretty foolish. When there are some severe issues going on with the game atm. This is not EVE online. And this official PVP server there shouldn't be PVE aspects that is why there is a server dedicated to just PVE>

The game is losing people because they are bored, hackers, devs being to slow with bug fixes. Its a joke to think that those people are all leaving because of not having ORP. Alot of people are playing on unofficial servers as well.

The silent majority that is playing official PVP right now. The ones that like it the way it is.

And i have been trying to tell you that ORP will be abused. Its been proven in Ark. Which will have the same issue here.

But we do not want safe zones. That would make it worse. For the people wanting that they should go play PVE

So then what your saying is that if they are online and get totally wiped they will quit as well. So now might as well add a complete resistance to all buildings so no ones quits lol.

Not yet but if they added longer time like 16 hours or 24 hours. It will start to become abused by everyone to the point it is a big issue. Right now being only 8 hours no one is really bothered by doing it but a few. Wait till all of the server starts doing it with multiple ships etc.

Atlas wont survive another year due to other issues than not having ORP. That will be up to the devs whether or not they can fix the game and add content. Right now the game is lacking serious content for trying to be an MMO.

I was looking at it as a solo player perspective since thats how i play. But yes then it is already being manipulated. By making it have a even longer decay timer it will just make things even worse.

That you can build anywhere its a Sandbox game which allows for the total destruction / loss of everything at any point. You can do whatever you want, and play how you want. What other MMO has that ?

From what ive read it was buggy and alot of peoples ships were sinking after only 4 hours. 8 hours would be a hassle still and almost not worth it unless you had no job or sleep. by making it 16 hour gives you to much time to not have to worry about it and let it sit safe which i do not agree with.
