Your aware this game is an ARK MOD.....  all they had to do was cut and paste the code from the one game to the other!  So when people are claiming cash grab they are NOT far from the truth! 

OH MY GOD REALLY? 

Do you know how many other complete games are based on a mod?

Exact figures are not known but we do know it's sold over 500,000 copy's.

You do the math???  Little to no work done just copy and paste code from previous game and then sell 500,000 + copy's 

I think that sums up a cash grab pretty well. 

OH MY GOD!

☭ ☭ HOW DARE THE CREATOR OF THE MOD GET HIRED BY GRAPESHOT TO WORK ON IT AS A FULL ON GAME, AND GET PAID TO DO SO!
HOW DARE THEY I SAY! EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FREE!  ☭ ☭

That exactly the problem, a small team should focus on 1 game/platform and finish their job before trying to cover more platforms out of pure greed, the nature of early acces is to found projects so the can come to be, not found them so they get halted in their incomplete state so the team can focus on some other projects for a quick cashgrab while the players who trusted them are left hanging

It is NOT cash grab. How much money do you think they made? It's not much. Not many people bought Atlas. Not many people will buy it on Xbox. Seriously, just drop this ignorant horse shit. I say this ALL the time on these forums: PERSONAL INCREDULITY IS NOT AN ARGUMENT. You are just flat out wrong about this. Move on.

why the hell would and entity such as pirates wich biggest trait is love/need/obsession with freedom want to ever live under a feudal lord wich represent exactly the opposite ideals, they are by definition conceptual antagonists!!! i bought a pirate game because i wanted a game that would offer me the life of a pirate, the life of freedom, the life of i can do the fuck i want without depending on others, without having to deal with others bullshit or social/political correctness, thats what atlas advertised, and thats exactly what the game is not delivering. 

Oh my fucking god. "Political correctness" are you kidding me? That's some fucking clown ass shit.

Have you ever heard of pirate fortresses?

The code of Bartholomew? You were a vassal to your captain and ship.

What about the Barbary Pirates?

Vikings?

Privateers?

The East India company?

You want to be a "free" pirate, go to lawless, that's what it's there for you melted spork.

Heck Ultima Online has done everything that Atlas, does but far better with tons more content and that was a game created in 1997....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

YOU CANNOT COMPARE ULTIMA TO ATLAS.


There is no fucking hope for this game.

   You all need to chill the hell out   

I think my theory about why this game is dead is because of the playerbase is 100%  right. Look at how you guys fighting over this shit and most of you don't know what you are talking about. Every argument I have heard about this game ranges from ageism, ignorant, to hyperbolic. Grrr...

 

Look, I know you guys are frustrated, I am too. But, this is the nature of early access;  and a lot of you aren't taking EA into account for... a lot of this. Releasing to console, getting ready for console, all of  that is part of EA especially with WildCard. Another thing you guys have to keep in mind this that this team is working on multiple projects. The team is small, mostly made up of people who were modders, or not formally trained.

Nothing like Atlas has ever been attempted before. You all really need to cut the devs, and yourselves some fucking slack. Like for example.

Do you really think that the skins are forever going to be purchasable at the Freeport?

Or do you think, eventually they will be gated.... and like Tek are actually upgrades?

A lot of things in this game are temporary.


I don't understand half of your complaints, or why they even would be complaints to begin with. Like the shit about "feudal lords" and other nonsense. I mean, I really don't see why paying a "tax" that you don't really pay  (it just gets added to what you farm) to live on the island they have to farm gold to maintain. Really? What affect does this have on you or your game? Why is it a problem?

Why are tames a problem? They were advertised with the game. Fuck THEY WERE ADVERTISED WITH WoW (oh... and its a BEAR). They are part of the MMO genre. Get over your grievances. Also what the hell do you think pirates did on their own property when not at sea? They farmed. They maintained their ship.

God. Dammit. Ya'll.

Just show some love for the game and your fellow players. Look at the passion Rust players have, even when the game was at its worst... there was an out-pour of LOVE for the game to get it to improve. Seriously, didn't Mr. Rogers teach you assholes anything?

We, your faithful community of players that have been with you from the start, actually KNOW what ATLAS needs to become playable and enticing to the masses but your community managers continue to ignore our posts.

You know you can  message them directly and they are  usually really good about replying right?

jeremy was the problem and now ark is flourishing while atlas is sinking. If you haven’t noticed all of the bad decisions and followed with atlas. 

LOL No.


Atlas has SO many fixes to the shit thats broken with Ark. The problem is other players and PvP imbalance. Why do you think PvE is getting more popular?

People still like Atlas, just not the PvP.

Just shut your yammer about the game 'til it comes out please.

Actually i never meant to imply the fantasy theme was a bad thing.

I only find it unfathomable how that fantasy term is used as a cheap excuse for having a stupenduous amount of taming related content in the game, and little beyond that. 

"Look, fantasy pirates don't use ships for that. No, really. What they really be using is...... *drumroll* BEARS".

Having what you consider to be a "pure" pirate experience without all the romanticism that comes with the theme probably wouldn't be any more interesting than being a real pirate on the somalian shore is these days.

Them trying to sell their shortcomings as being in tune with and practically required by "the lore" kinda ticks me off.

Pirates plus sea monsters and krakens and mermaids and heck even dragons is A-OK in my book.

Pirates plus bears and armored infantry tortoises and elephants and chicken however is not.

Dude... "stupendous"?  Are you kidding me? Dude... take that shit to the toilet where it belongs.

Taming is such a light focus of this game. It's a hell of a lot easier  than in Ark too.  A hell of a lot less time consuming. The taming in this game is a gimme; in most cases.

Also, taming was obviously in the game since the trailer.... you know, dude fighting hydra on bear, lady walking her snake.

You don't need a metric ass-load of tames.

What you need:

One bear, one giraffe, one elephant.

Three.

Three tames is too much?

Really?

It is almost the same team. Multiple members of wildcard went to grapeshot. Also, ark modders got hired on with grapeshot. The main bosses jeremy and Jesse also went to grapeshot.

they have a different name but many of the same team members

Yes, the YARK team got picked up to work on Atlas. Also, the majority of people working on Atlas were those who were unhappy with the QOL support Ark has gotten despite there being what... Three paid DLC and another on the way?

Come on dude.

Your problems are with Ark. You complain about problems Ark has, not Atlas.

You don't play Atlas....


You are waiting for a console release.

Well, I found your problem. You base everything about Atlas on your console Ark experience.

They aren't the same game, and frankly you shouldn't even be here. You are obviously here to troll, or you are the embodiment of the

The new ark team is working wonders with fixes and communication 
___________________________________________________________________________________

The ark team is now better than anything the atlas team could aspire to be.

Ced is kicking butt on Twitter. I have seen him on their posting any problems or fixes at least 5 times a day. He also replies to numerous people on Twitter every single day.

i have actually had about a 10 tweet convo with him a week or two ago. He has actually become one of the most active devs I have seen on social media. I am pretty sure that is because jeremy(boss) is now with grapeshot/atlas.

there has been a slight increase in communication, I will give them that but many things have also faltered. 

Lets see how active they actually get

 

New expansion coming. Servers still run like they are wheelchair bound.

On 8/10/2019 at 4:13 AM, Realist said:

 

you hope they are already working on something new? They are only 8 months into this game that is in a 2 year EA phase. If they were working on something new then that means they were total failures lol. 

 

You know that dev teams work on more  than one project at a time right?

1 hour ago, Lethal Angel said:

Part of problem is that the developers/staff are in some discords other than official. These players have a chance to talk to the team and feed back to the team so they feel heard. Many here have to wait on the information from the team via the official network be it forum and discord and there has been no word from the team.  It has been awfully quiet and yes we know whens its quiet there is a possibility of something good to be released. Perhaps they could do something like 7dtd and have a Devs Dairy in the forums. This could let everyone know what they are working on and what issues they are  working with. They have two community staff that also could drop information into it and it dosnt have to be weekly. That way more information is out on the community and it have a better flow of information between all parties.  

A thing to keep in mind is that this is NOT the Ark team. I have spoken directly with Jat and Dollie just by PMing them here.

They are NOT hard to reach.

Well...

No.

I decided to play Ark on Official since I have had the game untouched for years.

These games are nothing alike, and breeding is WAY better on Ark. Like, it is a complete "gimmie" on Ark. Coolers and fireplaces make it far easier.
Kibble prevents starvation.

I WISH Atlas was more like Ark.

Fuck, taming on Ark is a snooze fest.

I tamed a Trike with my fists and some berries.

Like... Really? People actually complain about this taming method?

Ark is WAY different.

Not a godamn bear that I am gonna lose first time I get dismounted.

Hey hey hey, put your tames in a building.

Having to check a baby every 8 hours its unhealthy and unreasonable.

Babies die in Stasis AGAIN
 

Animals walk away while mating

There's no point in breeding with official settings by yourself... you just can't reasonably and healthfully do it.

Nothing in a video game that can be lost in seconds should take DAYS to grow and require more attention than an actual baby animal.

NOTHING ABOUT BREEDING ON OFFICIAL SERVERS IS A POSITIVE GAME EXPERIENCE.

It's not really possible.

I bound "kill" to a key just for lions/leatherwing.

 Once I have that however, I pass close to islands enroute to the maps, especially at night (the bottle glow has increased visibility at night).

Another thing to keep in mind is that, when you get let's just say a Journeyman map, when you get to that maps location there is likely another bottle for a journeyman map where you got the first map from. You could very well keep a back/forth map route going if you get lucky enough.

Taxes in a game? Smh that is possibly the worst idea I ever heard of lol.

just straight talk here. That is stupid. I wouldn’t do it and evidently most people don’t.

to be honest, I can’t blame anyone for being on lawless lol.

i pay taxes irl. I will never pay them in a game. That is just pathetic. Well on one hand some people might not pay taxes in real life so they are fine with it in game.

i am the opposite unfortunately. That just simply won’t happen. I am fine with them failing, sure I wish they would change, but in all reality they haven’t made a good decision yet so let’s just see how it goes

Honestly, I have exhausted my last bit of patience with you on this subject. You have been told clearly and repeatedly what you need to know to understand why the need for a pve wipe is nonexistent except from an extremely selfish point of view. The things you are saying are now coming from an arrogance of attempting to say you know better how things in the game work than those who actually play. When you have gone down this path, you have always been wrong. I am done discussing this. 

Keep in mind, Realist is the same clown who thinks he's getting taxed by claims.

That being said, you missed my point: Having tons of bottles turns it into farming instead of exploration, it stops being exciting and starts being tedious. In single player and coop you are not competing with anyone, so its not like have HAVE to find a bottle of a certain quality to find the treasure you need.  

I see!
Wild Pirate Encampments are coming, so don't worry. You will have to clear islands before you can get to good stuff.
