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

Seriously, sailing around looking for these old places was an entire gameplay style. It honestly fit with the pirate-archeologist theme the game already has. Please bring this back to the PvE servers? 10 days until ransack-able, and 18 til auto destroy?

" If you think the claim systems works either way then that is the real problem. " Tell me how, functionally the claim system doesn't work and what is wrong with the PvE tax system. Without any hyperbole either. I want cold, hard, cause and effect.

Dude, you don't even make sense at this point. Chill. I'm not domineering, I'm right.

What the hell are you talking about? Claiming a full island is great. Even better that I can pay a little extra gold to disallow anyone to build there, should griefing become a problem. I really don't see the problem with tax either, its way of letting the island owner have what they miss out on from other people farming. The trouble with the claim system is that it's a PvE system; it doesn't work for PvP; in the least.

Nah just thinking back to June. "Grr fuck everyone in PvE with 20% tax!"

Seriously, why does this feature even exist. It should just... like auto pay the island owner instead of showing the +tax on map lol.

I swear to god if I dont get M4 big island myself, I will grief who ever lives there EVERY DAY. I KNOW ALL THE HIDING SPOTS. THAT ISLAND IS MINE! (but its got five natrual harbors, and its pretty big so we can share tho)

Eeek no. How about they take some gold?

You aren't finding what you want all the time, you just don't know it yet. Yellow glowing maps are chump change. You want the purple glowing ones. You want the ones that say 14+ quality. The same goes for SoDs, and floatsams. As another example, unless its a special color, you really don't want to tame an animal that's below level 26. (This is especially important when you consider wilds all have the same stats until you tame them, taming a level 30 is the same as a level 1.) Even then, when you do tame it, there is no guarantee it will have the stats you need. You still have to tame a few more and breed them after that!

So did Face Punch reguarding rust, like... 3 years ago. Ark didn't get console until after the buy out. That was like a two year timeframe. Too early to talk about a crossplay wipe. SMH

Pretty much. If player numbers are any indication, people prefer Atlas for its MMO like qualities, more than it's Ark/Rust like qualities. The team should focus on bringing the actual game structure up to snuff.

The game isn't even done yet let alone ready for Xbox. Can we stop talking about this like its going to happen tomorrow?

OP, man, dont take this the wrong way... But did you learn to do questionaires from Donald Trump's website?

Look, either you have a successful game, or you have libertarian wonderland. Pick one.

Rust has "Zerg" clans like DMG that run 30-80 strong... on 275 person servers. But yeah, I get what you are saying now and I agree.... we really need some sort of stash system. Nothing dumb like cryo or ships in a bottle though.

Nope. Rust is even less balanced to wipe someone than Atlas. Rust is SUPER easy to wipe someone, Atlas actually has some time commitment and a HELL of a lot more risk. Single players can find big success in Atlas too, there's nothing like piggy backing off a huge company that has no idea you have been stealing their stuff for DAYS.

Like I said in my Nations post; we need a place to store our personal belongings to keep them safe from company wars. I'd be on PvP instead of PvE if I knew my tames and my trading ships would be okay. I could care less about anything else I have in this game even my land is not that important.

Oh my god... What if instead... You put the BP for the planks and decks you want in the ship yard.... and it built the ship without having to stick them all on yourself.

I really like this idea, I liked it so much I included it as an idea in my "Nations" system, but it functions more like the space station from EvE Online.

DayZ and Rust both hit VERY simmilar low points. Rust went as low as five thousand, and they had similar numbers to what we had before wipe. DayZ got into the hundreds at one point, but is now one of the most popular survival games. Atlas only has a few flaws: Torpedos killed the game. Take out stupid shit like torpedos and quit adding stupid shit like torpedos and people will come back. Do something about player toxicity (ban negative nancies on reddit and here) and the mind-virus that causes a cascade of player disillusion to spread. Lots of people want to log in and see the game but stop short because Reddit told them to. We NEED a PvP-PvE grid. Megas need to be un-nerfed. Huge groups drive the economy and keep people playing. PvE players can no longer destroy abandoned bases.. which sucks, thats good loot.

Oh GOD no. Hiding in the water is already cancerous as it is... +1 to everything else.

I noticed this too, it happened in the middle of me killing a HUGE group of them I lost so much... there were two 25+ yetis that decayed before I could loot.

I really think the players who we should be listening to are the ones that are not here...
