Well, then you can say that ARK was just as shit as Atlas in the bad days. So there’s somewhat a chance for a positive future. 

i dont wish ATLAS to be this bad forever, but when we grow up we learn that we must differentiate hopes from reality, specially with this company track record, but hey if it eventually gets fixed in a future i will be glad.

Pathetic state of the game? It’s the best it’s been since launch. 

well i was comparing it to 2 real early access titles that i play that were launched at about the same time, in a muchbut are almost a finished product right now (one of them has actually beenofficially released)

Just a general question since its a doubt in the eyes of basically every company, so voodoo, is it an exploit to use a lighthouse as the 64th structure to gain more height to glide to a nearby island?

Is it alright and if it is not what is the punishment if found doing so?

we all know the pathetic state of the game and the incompetence of this devs but the moment something as harmless as gaining height to glide is considered an exploit, at that moment, i will jump off a bridge in real life.

I HAVE asked for more ships, several times and I will NEVER say we don't need more ships.  

 

Edit:  Here's a link of me asking for more ships from over a year ago...

 

oh my bad i missread you apparently.

Ok, the same part of "Pirate Theme Survival Game" that has you fighting Cyclopes, Whaling and hunt Yeti.  That's the same kind of "Pirate" game where you should be able to spend your days riding around on a Tiger with a Rabbit on your shoulder.

If you did post stuff like that, then put some links in here or PM them to me.

As for more ships, you will NEVER seem me say they don't need more ships.  

wrong, according to the steam tags wich serve as a reference to describe the game, fighting cyclopes yetis and whaling would fall under fantasy and adventure.

i would post a screenshot but this stupid forum wont allow me to upload an image bigger than 10Kb, yes 10 Kb, because they can be this pathetic in 2020...

you are free to browse through my profile and see my posts, i wont be spending my own time with that simply because i have no reason to.

you will never ask for more ships.. ok... your point?

Let me ask the question again, what kind of ocean content?  Through some ideas out there.

I don't see this as an exclusively A or B issue.  The fact is we AREN'T getting ocean content, we aren't getting tames, we aren't getting new boats, NPCs aren't getting an increase role.

so you ignore everythng else i said and the topic at hand and focus on an unrelated question? i have already made long suggestion ideas posts in the past, it was a waste of my time when i was playing and would be a waste even more now that i quit.

can you demonstrate your facts? because if you cant then they are not facts they are assumptions, but i agree you guys are not getting anything simply because this game was created only to found other projects wich already did.

The october 2019 captains log did state that the team would be stepping away from the forum for a while (in a roundabout way) and game development requires money. Ark is probably their best source of money at the moment so working on that makes sense. I can understand players being frustrated but all the negativity doesn't help. Atlas won't attract new players if the existing players keep complaining about it, we need to be patient and understand that it is a work in progress.

so what? is not our fuking job to pretend nothing is wrong to attract new players

I see a lot of negative comments from the community on here and I can't help thinking that a lot of you seem to be forgetting a few important details. The game is incomplete, we all know that, there is fair warning before purchase and every time we load up on the main menu. The other thing that seems to be forgotten is that devs who waste time responding to every little coment, from players who have forgotten that they knowingly choose to play pre-release, aren't working on the game. Personally I enjoy the game and am looking forward to seeing what Grapeshot have planned for full release. Be patient and if your not happy with the state of the game then just take a break until it's closer to actual launch.

your post count tells me you are new around here, hence i would suggest you to keep your mouth shut if you have no idea what you are talking about, many of the people who are complaining now once were hardcore defenders of the game but the current state of the game is due to the shady practices of its developers, just so you know they completely halted its development to focus on 2 other projects like the xbox release and the ARK new DLC release, hence after more than 1 year of early access we have 75% of the problems we had from day one, including bad decisions that didnt exist back when the game was released, so please dont be ignorant, if you dont know the reasons ask, dont just assume shit.

Except they advertised it as a Pirate-themed Survival PvP game.  

I could nitpick more about your statement, but I have a question instead.  Honest question.  What kind of additional ocean content did you expect?  Beyond the obvious "more kinds of ships".

and what part of "Pirate-themed Survival PvP game" includes the word "Tame Based"???

I was not pre-disposed/expectant of a specific type of ocean content, but tames are not ocean content, and lets be clear that i dont dislike them but if they have time to design more than 20 tames it is only logical they could have designed less pets and more actual ocean content. as they correctly stated in the live stream they overdid the pets part and also "forced" players to spend way too much time at land.

I often see forum messages like: "WE WANNA MORE SHIP TYPES IN THE GAME" I mean, it would be cool if there were a lot of different ship types. And I feel sad to talk about it. But let's take a sober look at current ship state.

So. Difference between ships should be:

- Hold size.

- Sturdiness.

- Amount of cannons.

- Speed and maneuverability.

And we should actually choice our vessel because of current mission needs (it's like that - we wouldn't wanna sail Frigate to nearest island, because we will unanchor it and then park back like for ever).

And what do we have right now?

- Hold size doesn't matter. We can put all of our cargo in to small chest in ship corner.

- Sturdiness doesn't matter, because we can enforce our ship armor with additional roofs, walls, and ceilings and enforce it more with skills.

- Amount of gunports goesn't matter because we can add extra 20 cannons to our brig and even 10 more to stern and 10 more to ship nose.

- We have largest and fastest ship in a game. Why would we want slower and smaller? And maneuverability is important in boardside battles, but no one does that. Just usual chasing tactic and nose-stern cannons shoot.

So... we've basically got everything we need. Wanna more different type of ship - use current base and create different types with roofs, ceilings, walls, different sails, and custom amount of cannons.

If ship type would depend how many cargo it can carry (I'm not talking about weight, but size). How strong firepower it can carry, etc. Then we would wanna more ship types. But to make so - there are a lot of dramatic design restriction should be introduced! like no more guns out of gunports, no more roofs armor etc.

Until then (and again I sad to say that) we simply don't need any more ship types.

do you know why i bought the game? ocean content, not tames, not pvp, nothing else, ocean content. and surprise surprise for that you need a ship that fits your style and necessities, do you need tames in a normal naval combat pirate themed game? no,  are they a bad thing? no, is it ok the fact that we have more than 20 different types of pets and only 4 types of boats? no, why? because thats not what they advertised, if you pay for a tv but you get a fridge instead would you be happy? also your post's title is quite arrogant, who appointed you as the community representative? YOU dont want more types of boats, i do.

From what I've seen of New World in videos, the closest you get to ships is that you arrive in the game with your ship sinking and you are left on the beach to figure out what to do next. Some people compare it to Skyrim (never played that game). As far as I can see, it really doesn't compare to Atlas as far as game play goes. People here just seem bored as nothing new has dropped in Atlas in awhile and they have nothing better to talk about 

what reason aside from the boats do i have to playing ATLAS instead tho? none. new world will have better graphics, better optimization, bigger money investment, wiser management (wich is already showing in the decisions they are taking) in other words the only ATLAS's appealing is boats, wich has not even been expanded, even after more than 1 year of early access we have the same 4 types of boats we have had from the very first day.

Do they even have ships in that game?  It looks like a prettier version on Conan: Exiles.

most likely not, wich is sad, but they also dont have a decay system, wich is great

Usually the "more time at sea/on boats" crowd does want tames removed.  That somehow become at Sea of Thieves clone will help this game out (it won't).

and being an ARK clone will? honestly ATLAS shouldnt be copying neither one nor the other. but hey new world is just around the corner so they can do w/e they want with this game as far as i care.

I don't know why people insist that the game has to be exclusively about ships or about tames.  It's very simple, tames for land, ships for sea.  That's why there are no sea mounts and the only flying mount is temporary.  Just because YOU don't want tames doesn't mean the majority don't.  After all, the tames are want make this game different from many land survival games and will keep the game different from most ship featured games.

Though you do hit on something, even if you don't mean to.  The devs really don't know how to make the game something more than a survival game.  (I don't want to get arid of the survival game aspect, they need to think of a larger picture).

when did i say i dont want ANY tame in the game? what i said is that i dont want ATLAS to force you to have a tame for every activity there is, you need tames for resources, for fighting, for treasures,  even for fucking weather conditions, wich is not a problemm itself the problem is that you have no real alternatives for those who dont like this taming system, maybe i wouldnt mind that much if the game was properly designed, but the reality is that is not.

that said,  i will never play this game ever again as long as there is a decay system in it.

The roadmap attempt to intercept our self made goals and forcibly divert our play style into what the developers think it should be, rather than what each of us, individually, want it to be for us.

This is a game where it will take you as much real time to sail 5 tiles as it does to drive to your next big city.
This is a game where, to breed a tier 3 creature, requires a 4 day, real time, marathon with intense focus.

These are time investments that would typically feel cumbersome, but we do them, we've adapted to them, some of us appreciate they are not easy because we feel a sense of genuine accomplishment and real progress.

But they're taking these things away. They're doing so in a manner that makes no real sense in the context of the game except to make a difficult, time consuming, long term committment of a game even harder but with less reward.

"we do them" you mean the  6.4% remaining ATLAS population? if i wanted to play most of the time in land i would go to one of the several survivals that take place on land, if i wanted a tame simulator i would go to a tame simulator, what they are proposing makes total sense with what the game was suposed to be from the very beggining, you cannot call a plastic bottle "cup" just because you drink coffe on it.

and dont get me wrong i am not defending this scummy developers, but for once what they are trying to do makes sense, unlike the absurd "decay timers" some random idiot decided to implement.

So devs, Genesis is out now so are we going back to developing atlas now? I expect a new livestream with a sincere apology for raising the middle finger to the Atlas community. 
 

Or are the ARK devs joining ATLAS for a bit now? So many questions that need answering as to why you’d think about doing it in the first place. 

just tought i would drop this here

You should stop playing Early Access then.

incorrect:

7D2D, early acces, very fun game,

Oxygen not included, early access until recently, excellent game

Satisfactory, early access another excellent game

You rly have to bump up your standars mate, if you like ATLAS i am fine with it, but what they are doing is not EA at all (even if they have to call it that way so people actually buys it) its decade away from being able to be called EA.

The whole handcuff thing was bad mechanics in ark and still is here. Want to deny someone? Make a mechanic that makes him unable to use beds in the grid for awhile, not this heap of toxic "feature". I recall in S2 a group of toxic players that got their kicks out of picking offline players and putting them into cages for amusement thx to that none of my friends ever touched this game again and probably won't while they keep this uber griefing mechanic. 

so they copy pasted it from ark... why do i feel not surprised?...oh yeah because ATLAS is a giant ark copy paste.

is like everything ATLAS was supposed to be, yet i saw no advertsing for it at all!!

Why is the goal to attract as many people as possible? Why cant they be satisfied with the more hardcore pvpers?

well for several reasons:

1.- these developers are greed as fuck

2.- with no more buyers continuted develpment of the game is not viable, hence lack of content, hence people getting bored and quiting.

3.- people is obssessed with socializing so the more people the happier players are (to be honest i have never understood why they cannot enjoy a game for what the game is, if people want to socialize so fucking much they should just go to a fucking bar or facebook but w/e)

They fight for resources they deem valuable, doesn’t mean they’re going to transfer bulk resources over from 1 island to the other. Like I said, no one does it. Doesn’t mean those resources aren’t valuable to them - if they weren’t, they wouldn’t use them. 

yes it does, you said it yourself:

1 hour ago, Percieval said:

There is not a single pvp player I know that is moving bulk resources from 1 island to the other apart from mythos and gold. 

because mythos and gold are more valuable than the standar wood or metal that you can gather without even needing to sailing, aside from those 2 the rest of resources are barely valuable.

3 minutes ago, Percieval said:

No one does it because it’s dumb to do it. 

thats exactly what i mean because those resources are not valuable enough, players want to pvp, so why not giving more value to resources and also ease their transportation so they actually feel encouraged to fight for something they deem valuable?

25 minutes ago, Percieval said:

Then it’s a good thing there’s a sign saying that the game is low quality/performance. That’s not and has never been an argument. The handcuff thing happens maybe 1 in every 1000 players, it’s not going to sink because of it. 

ofc is not gonna sink because of that, but they did spent time and resources implementing it, if that feature adds not much value/appealing to the game maybe that time and effort should have been spent in a more appealing feature/fix?

i stopped doing it because of what i described, so no wonder why no one does it.
