I understand the comments about if someone is cheating there has to be consequneces and indeed that there may be collateral damage or its the leadershps job to weed them out. I can see elements of this being valid. I have never cheated (knowingly) now you don't need to believe that. I would say that is true for the majorit of the 160 who are suspended without any timeline. The failure in justice is....I don' know WHY and I don't know HOW LONG for. To be punsihed without reason or without clarity as to how long for is the work of Tyranny.

So your clan gets disbanded and all players (160) are suspended, indefinatelty for alleged exploits. We get no explanation of why. Who did what ? You are tarnished and cannot play the game you have so much time in and fun with a great bunch of folks. No explanation of how long the suspension is. You raise a ticket, it auto closes with "solved" upon submit. Then if you post on a forum your post gets locked with a use the ticket system. Lots of folks will laugh, with a mouth full of piss and vinegar ha ha you cheated you got what you deserved. No, I didn't, maybe someone in the 160 did (across four clans), but I don't know who or what they did. No Justice. Bad Customer Service. Provide an explanation. Thats 160 people who paid to participate in EA that you kicked without explanation. Even if one (or more) broke the rules, you should say what they did so a) people know and can accept / argue their ban and b) of perhaps more improtance, others can know what NOT to do !!

Did you fix Ships of the Damned being completey broke ?

Great compendium of suggestions, well thought out and presented. This would be the patch of the decade. Couple of other minor things. Make taming less stupid with the set to wander and be next to each other..oh...you wandered thing (yes I know the umpty three workaounds) Make "H" show nearby animal levels when mounted. Fix drums. But also put in a hard cap on cannon reload/shoot. Machine gun gallies are too OP. Improve paint on planks, many colours don't work properly. Show a red hammer on planks below ?? 33% ?? health. Fix Ceilings as a habour block. Either make them just stop the ship dead with one tick of damage...the physics when ships hit these things look like pre-alpha graphic hell. Also provide way of damaging underwater structures Give me a way to "carry an NPC" sometimes its just too stupid. Controversial one...Gallies too OP. Gallies can't use handling sails...it wasn't a thing...shouldnt be a thing.

Mythos is easy enough, you get it from killing the boss critter on the PS islands, if your not with a company or friends capable of that, then head down (or up) to the polar regions and slap some yeti's up. They drop some. Not much...but some. Probably wanna tame a bear or some such.

I believe it now runs on Mythos.

Yeh I think it can also be caused by triangle shaped ceilings. There were a bunch of cannon/puckle towers on a DnT Island we took, I was clearing them with a cannon bear to allow us to build and had really weird issues. If I hit the Foundations or triangular ceilings nothing happened. Took down the structures from the middle and then I could damage the lower sections. Very pesky and time consuming.

I work in Software Development and to some extent I do understand the notion, however architecturally if you don't fix core issues early they become more expensive later. Typically its UI that gets the final polish (you don't paint the house until you have finished building it, but if the the foundations are wrong, no amount of paint will fix it).

I love the game and play with a great group who have become friends....what makes MMO's work. When do you think you will put some effort into optimisation, I have a top end PC, top end Graphics card, the game struggles to run and crashes often, not just me the whole company. I do understand the need to flesh out the base game and expand the various mechanics, but it is a horrid game as far as performance and memory consumption. Your missing out on a lot of potential customers too I suspect.

I totally agree with the ESP/Aimbotting being a reason for alot of folks losing heart. I hate it. It is however as your post infers unfarily NOT somethng one particular nation does. It is done by players on all sides. We all know who they are. Many are almost famous for it. They use it...they called out....they turn it off....then when needed turn it back on. These people, from all sides, is why we can't have nice things.

They are defo bugged..and really its just a case of finding the best workaround until they are fixed (Sheduled, 3 weeks after hell thaws out)..... For me, I place a wall underneath where I need the ceiling and then it snaps in, then I remove the wall. Ideally within the stingy 30 seconds rule. I find the bug happens more often then not at the front of the galley. I always do planks first, then decks, then sails. Then I add in all the furniture. I've built lots of boats...and don't get this error enough for me to get too upset....id keep this if they fixed greenscreens in a heartbeat.

Since about 4 days ago, I seem to be getting no new experience. It may have started when I did my most recent FoY but I am not 100% sure. I am not level capped. I am on NA PvP https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1792410140

A friend can get onto a private server, but not NA PVP Official

Same...and at least 2 others in company are also locked out, I was fine, in game, game went dead, like a server restart, tried to login., hanging like a donkey on Loading PrimalGameData_BP have tried steam restart, 3 game restarts, rejoin and join new.

I like the changes, 3 large cannons in one gunport was stupid, 32 large cannons on the back or the side of a brig is stupid. But...Larges need some love now. I would like to see : Lower trajectory/higher velocity Double Shot (IRL things back in the day) took ages to load, only worked close up but were devestating). Hot Shot (I am a firestarter) Chain shot..like bar shot but went further and wrecked ropes and canvas (and small mast) Gun Ports on the BACK of brigs More Gun Ports on the BACK of Galeons As for solo killing packs of 5 SOTD in Golden Age tiles...well....the fact you could do it with bonkers ship designs was more the problem than the fix.

Put them on your shoulder then YOU get in a cage...surely...

This. Thanks for saving me the typing. I like atlas as its a blend between survival and MMORPG...which is HARD and BRUTAL and requites a playerbase (not just ships) with resilience.

Solution : Get Aussies or and Euro's in your company

Could just be some RNG, but played most of the weekend, went to ALOT of places. Never saw rain once. Our 5 waterbarrels setup an hour after start of test have had the odd dribble of water in them (somehow) but no real rain. Is weather broke. Also sailed from a 12 to a 5 region, no weather varience there.

To answer my own question, Jat in Chat (like elf on a shelf) said they have increased the slots/mat requirements

One of the patch notes sez : "The higher quality shipyard used when building a ship, the more level ups a ship will be able to obtain." which is very excitement. I was messing around last week and noted that the highest you can craft at the moment is a BLUE shipyard...anything fancier and there are not enough slots in the smithy to put the mats. I understand (never played) it, this was an issue in ark and they came up with some workaround (stick a frog up a penguins bot-bot and then use it to craft or some such). In Atlas how are we meant to craft high end shipyards if there isn't enough slots to put the mats in the smithy.

i love the versitility in ship design. However the utter blindness to the most basic of physics is a bit daft. Around the midpoint of the ships skeleton, simply add some maths that says if you put too much weight fore, aft, port or starboard the ship will lean that way. So you want 32 cannons on the back of the ship fine...but yer boat is gunna be bum down and nose up..should take on water during a storm etc. Allow some flex, 3-500 pounds of gun weight before any impact on tilt... Or some such constraint.

When loggin in there is no rejoin option, you need to join and then enter via the server selector. Often (50%) after loggin in you are in a broken game where you cant open inventory, doors etc This is happening to the whole company May or may not be related, but Battleye is also kicking people often when they are doing completely normal things. NA PvP

It could also be regional issue, looking at the server populations on PvP NA, there are a number of 0 player regions (of which I was in one) eg : c15 to f15 are all 0, thats not normal.
