These posts kill me. The simple fact of the matter is "It is a work in progress." Plain and simple ..... released as an early access game and guess what? If you want access to play what they have, do keep in mind, it is early in development. I suppose you could muster up some sort of argument as to what stage of early we're in, but, early none the less. Coming on to the forums and "Crying like a little bitch" about how the game isn't done or this mechanic is broken or numbers are dropping is asinine. Hell, some small studios fish for money to support their idea for a game with "Go fund me" types of sites. They have nothing ..... a few drawings, some new innovative mechanic ideas .... maybe a render or two ...... basically nothing. Would you go to their forums and cry about the game not being playable? It is silliness .... I imagine the devs are thankful at this point that the population has trimmed down quite a bit from 50k+. On a side note, I'm not directly calling the OP a crying little bitch, more of an in general statement. Not really my style and to be honest his/her post were thought out and remotely logical. But ...... frack me, Alpha, Beta, EA ... whatever. Full release is expected to be years away. Perhaps it is an attention thing, perhaps it's something else.

I'm a happy customer ......

I don't get all this cheating stuff ..... period. Not saying that it's not going on, but, I just havn't seen a video of blatant hacking. The duping thing, perhaps, don't know for sure on the mechanics of the game. I know, alt account for pink gays or bdlx or whatever the frack the cheater of the moment is named ...... right? Hardly! Here is my personal perspective on being called a hacker/cheater. It is like a family joke in my house. My kid (not really a kid anymore) stops by and we do the gaming thing in the same room about 6 feet apart. He plays computer and xbox. I just computer and we rarely play the same games. Just the way it's been since he was young. I always built him and myself a good computer because everyone knows lag is the killer and just not an option. He is an absolute beast in every FPS type of game he plays absolutely amazing how good he is. Me not so much, as a matter of fact I'm pretty bad (plays the old guy card). The joke is when kids tell him he's hacking. Tell him he's hacking and you have now become his game. He wants you to rage quit. I've seen or heard it a hundred times and it is a badge of honor to be called a hacker when your not. It is music to his ears because I know for a fact that he is not hacking or cheating. I ask him how he does that and he says he doesn't know ..... most people (myself included) just suck. He says he just always feels like there is a sniper scope on him and plays accordingly. Do Not Stop. Do not give someone an easy shot ever (bunny hop, no straight lines, always ready for someone to pop around that corner, ALWAYS!) My point is ..... just because your getting your ass kicked doesn't necessarily mean it's by a hacker. There are people out there that are amazingly good at games like this. Is there hacking going on in ATLAS? Probably, but, I would think they would try to not advertise they are hacking. I'm sure the Devs are checking into the ones that have been pointed out. Read a post earlier where the devs are just as likely to watch the known hacker for a while to learn his tricks. That is spot on. The floating shit? Why would they do that? I've seen floating everything that should not be floating in this game. Like I said, I do not get the whole point of the hacking thing. Cheating just isn't in me and never will be. I'm "OK" that I suck. and give the devs some time. Hackers/Cheaters will be removed from the game.

Paragraphs man, paragraphs ..... Regardless, I completely agree with the OP. This place is full of a bunch of little girls whining and crying about everything that is broken or incomplete in this "Early Access" game. Then stomping their feet around the forums when the Devs don't do something about it right this second. Make no mistake, many of the complaints are valid. They're working on it .... give them some time. Do you honestly think the Devs don't care about their game or the people playing it? The Devs have stated they were not prepared for the numbers that came on day one. I absolutely believe that. The complications this caused would have to be pretty damn substantial. Imagine expecting a few thousand coming to your picnic, but instead, 50K show up and they want their grilled hotdog now ...... right F-ing now. I'm and old guy and patience isn't a virtue it's a F-ing fact that yields better end results 99% of the time. Let them do what they do and when the game leaves early access, alpha, beta, broken or whatever you want to call it and then do circles in the forums stomping your feet. Sigh ..... Ok, everyone circle up. You too Percival. /Group Hug That's better, it'll all be OK everyone .......

Good post ...... Thank You! I remember hearing of a bounty system being implemented at some point. Tracking players w/ 3rd party means would defeat the whole purpose .... and fun.
