Oh goodness, been out a few months and man did I come back to same ol classic ATLAS/ARK Forums, the shameless Blind White Knights and the Angry Dev Haters.

 

Upon reading up on the state of the game, it's good to know nothing has changed either. 

Not really white knighting bro. Just sick of the entitlement and silliness I only see from this gaming community.


Game has 12k+ daily players on Steam, plus however much from Xbox that doesn't get reported. Game is alive and thriving. Don't listen to forum chuds.

Yes, it may technically be enough time to see them and stop. But as you can clearly see from all the posts about it, most people simply don't enjoy the extremely low pop-in distance. For one it is completely against the point of a sailing game, which is all about huge view distances except in fog.

They're ghosts....

your words reflect your personal interpretation of the devs words, all interpretation is biased by the personality of the interpreter hence i could read the same thing and interpret something different, in the end you coont tell someone how to play the game, it they can play it like that and want to play it like that they are entitled to do so.

All of the actual content of the game is at sea, under the sea, or, requires you cross the sea to get to. If you focus on tinkering with your farm equipment all day you aren't going to have a very good time in this game. That's just how it is. It has nothing to do with me dictating to someone else how to play the game or "interpreting the devs words" get out of here with those mental gymnastics.

How else do you want me to say it? Breeding sucks, it's jive, its not funky fresh, breeding is not cash money, breeding blows chunks.

If you are playing this game to breed animals, you are going to have a bad time. Its a literal full time job to do that, on top of all the other upkeep.

You don't need to breed to enjoy this game to it's fullest. Breeding anything outside of bears, is largely for luxury/convenience. All of the actual content for a solo or PvE player in this game is done with cannons, carbines, and swords. Mind you, I'm an advocate for keeping mounts and tames in game, I like them too. I used to fall into the trap of breeding... not anymore.

So sorry it offends you both that I don't join the circlejerk about all the terrible things the devs do. Also, consider, I'm not really here to convince you, or any of the other people who just come here to complain; it serves people who are trying to enjoy this game to see posts that dissuade them from breeding or doing other un-fun activities that are gonna get nerfed and changed as time goes on.


Seriously, this is a simple thought process:

Taken straight from the dev's eh! and carries about as much weight nowadays as your rantings do. 

The game might aim to be about sailing, but there is a good deal more to accomplish on land with tames, and that is made easier with good bred ones, be that fighting or farming and for  people to focus on that is just sensible, be that the dev's intent or not.

It's not really... sensible... its a matter of mildly increased convenience later at the cost of major inconvenience now. (Bears not withstanding)

Trust me... aside from kick ass battle bears (maybe a level capped crow) its NOT worth it when you really think about it. Take it from me, I just worked on a tiger breeding pen with its own HVAC system with levers and everything.

I've done 1000 hours of breeding at least: It's just not worth the set up and grind. Save yourself the boredom and frustration.

Actually we should have all been aware that the game was unfinished, it says so on steam and on the xbox store, also read the startup screen, It clearly states that it might never be finished either.

Truth

well thats YOUR opinion, you have no authority whatsoever to decide what the game was designed for, actually is quite arrogant to pretend you do. 

My words are taken straight from the devs, mate. This isn't Ark. Stop wasting time with breeding unless you are breeding for OP combat tames or income. Considering the devs intend to causalize and lower the amount of breeding and taming it's a futile and temporary endeavor with very little to gain.


This is a game about sailing.

we payed for the game we saw in the trailer not this unfinished pile of shit.

What the hell are you talking about? That trailer was all in-game footage. Just about the only thing in that trailer that wasn't actual in game footage, and was scripted in some way was the freeport/city scenes. The video even has the hideous pop-in caused by having your clutter distance too low.

That thing looks sweet; I want it.

Imprinting is only for the ones you intend to use. Breeders dont need to be imprinted.

Yeah man we all wanted puckle and swivel dmg increased, what is wrong with us that makes it appear to some newbies that we are crying.

What exactly did we get here, angry boy?

There are more changes coming silly. Read the blog. It's not just you "wanting puckle and swivel dmg increased" that makes you and most of the PvP community sound like cry babies.

PVE players always come here and talk about the toxic community being cry babies. Meanwhile they sit in their RP castles raising baby bears and playing the drums. 

 

Yeah man, how dare they have fun. They should be constantly pissed off too.

Pillars do work inside rocks, you just have to snap things using Q inside of them, sadly. I agree though, this needs  to be made easier

My wife uses a super cheap USB keyboard on xbox and I use Xbox App in REMOTE mode on my phone as a keyboard. Works great.

You can also pick up an old Xbox 360 controller with a keyboard attachment too. Like $15 for both now adays.

in my opinion the biggest mistake this game did was to halt its development to focus on the xbox release, at that point is when they totally lost me as a player and as a consumer 

Why?

Except when there is more than 5 ships, the game lags so much that you will wish someone used a gun on you.

Guns are useless btw, obviously you're a scrub, that wants pvp with pve and factions 

Double order of french cries, extra salt please. You can heat them up in that toaster you call a computer.

your statement has nothing to do at all with what he said, you should stop being a prick to players who are only stating their concerns and voicing their opinions

Actually, it does. "Not able to enjoy this game to its fullest." You aren't meant to tame and breed all day. You're meant to do maps and kill SoD, farm gorgons, do the trenches.
Remember: Atlas is not Ark. Atlas is not a reskin of Ark.

I understand imprinted bears or tigers for maps and PvP, imprinted Razortooths for PvP. Literally everything else just needs to be tamed to be useful as possible. Breeding bigger and better giraffes or whatever is for pure pleasure (and a testament to why breeding them shouldn't have been enabled to begin with.)  If you derive your fun from being a dedicated breeder, cool. We need you. But, what I said still stands: breeding is not the focus of this game. If you arent "enjoying this game to the fullest" because you are focusing in breeding; a task with only minimal gains... that's on you; not the devs.

it's amazing that Peg can find the time to bash everyone on the forums and try to get them to come to PVE where the game is magically fixed and amazing. I guess his RP castle is already filled up with bears and crabs and other pointless shit that doesn't matter in PVE. Get back to painting one of the 3 types of boats you have. 

Wow. EXTRA salted french cires. This is no good for my hypertension.

Damn, how dare I enjoy the game. That's so wrong of me. Sorry, I forgot that I should be constantly frustrated and pissed off at Grapeshot and my crew-mates, like everyone else who plays PvP. I should 100% go back to Uganda and Oblivion to listen to zoomers and developmentally stunted millennials scream Twitch emotes in voice chat.

/s if you cant tell. 

Atlas is a good game. We wouldn't (yes, you too) be playing it if it wasn't. The problem with PvP is other players and the decision to have Survival FPS style PvP in a world that needs to be MMORPG styled; while still allowing loot. This is the reason PvE is over populated and PvP has vacant islands. Atlas can survive as an MMO with PvE, it cant with just PvP. I want you to try PvE because I want you to see the game without other people fucking it up for you.

let us just wait for the patch. it should be a change in gameplay and some QOL improvements and bugfixes.

i would be happy if they just fix kraken fight summoning and do some QOL stuff for now so i can play this game again, including fixes for ships vanishing under my A while spawning on it, and the boring sailing.

i know i wont see a seapony or other new ships or factions, but these things will be ingame later.

lets hope for now they fix at least the core issues of the game. 

 See, Photek has the right idea here. Why would the devs communicate QOL changes a head of time? What is there to be hype about?

You guys aren't gonna be excited about shader changes, daily balance changes, etc.

It's the exact opposite of what a lot of people on this forum and the Discord get hype about: Weeks of stuff breaking, and getting changed. Exploity metas getting patched out.
How many of you are going to "Quit and uninstall forever?" when they nerf more non- gun and cannon based methods of raiding?

Devs dont owe us shit.
They could call the game finished tomorrow and we would have to just live with it. They could turn the game into Hello Kitty Island Adventure if they wanted.

 

Man, you gotta love this community

Get what they want and still cry.

Ha ha ha ha ha


You guys think New World is gonna be better than Atlas.



Realist quit the forums because plays the game now.

This game is doing what Ark did so horribly, a track record Wildcard seems to have is creating games where you literally can’t afford to play anything else if you want to enjoy the game to its fullest. The breeding and taming in this game need to be lowered badly. The raising times along with biome requirements and travel time make this aspect of the game impossible for those that can’t afford the time to play the game CONSTANTLY. The developers need to understand this mechanic will lose them players, and that developers cannot always have everything their way. Concessions need to be made for players of this game or it will die just as official Ark did. The only things keeping games like this alive are unofficial servers and people with nothing better to do.

Taming is not the point of this game. All of the end game content is done with guns and ships. This is your mistake..

Keep in mind they only have a handful of two people and a HUGE release with Ark soon. Stuff will get dealt with, soon. I am sorry this is happening to you guys.

In the meantime you may wish to switch to Non-Dedicated and invite your friends to the same sessions. Wild Pirate Encampments are tons of fun!

Don’t care about any of them. If you say the game improved on a large after that update then you’re out of your mind. 

Mind blower here:

Maybe you don't like this game?

Maybe it's time to switch gamemodes?

PvP sucks right now dude, thats not going to change until PvEvP and some sort of faction system is finished. But, for now you can live with the headaches of PvP or move to PvE and just... enjoy the game?

1: 10 months or 3 months of nothing for a game in development is bad, whoever you are.

2: When there is so little attention on the game that players need to spam discord accounts just so they can get them to reset the region server that has been down for days.

Greifers running riot because tickets are ignored, so regular players feel abandonded.

The severe lack of community engagement that makes you wonder what the hell is going on.

 

This is why they have lost my respect.

 

3: Just look back at this forum 1 year ago, captains logs every couple weeks, community competitions, dozens of posts daily by GrapeShot emploees, there seemed a real zest for this game by all despite the growing pains of an EA title.

Now?, What can I say? There is nothing.............

1: Simply not true, and you know it. We have got a lot over the last 10 months. Im sorry it wasn't a shiny new ship. We got optimization and balance changes.... WAY more important than a new toy to placate entitled players.


2: "Have to spam Discord accounts" Seriously? Can you contact someone like Jeff Kaplan, Notch, Will Wright, or Sid Myers through Discord? Oh, no... you cant, that's right. You have unprecedented access to the devs, a way that no other studio offers you. It's not good enough? Infact you think its a bad thing that you can contact the devs directly? You have got some serious entitlement issues, kid.

3: Wow, the team stopped posting to the community that abuses the shit out of them. Shocker. Who could have guessed that would happen!?

Leave the forum then, Loser1. You must have tons of free time being an "expert coder of 30 years." Every senior developer I know has just tons of free time to shit post on a forum about a game they hate.

1: Yea, right. I can tell from the movies' total lack of bears that they are hardly related to anything pirate at all.

2: When i think pirates, i immediately think bears and pigs and 20mil piece disney castles.

1: Atlas is an RPG first and foremost. Ever heard of the Hunter class from WoW? How about battle summons in D&D...  oh... and... in this other game, that shares a lot with Atlas... god whats it called? OH YEAH! Pathfinder!


2: Well its good that you think bears and pigs. Stealing livestock in the Spanish Main was one of the primary activities of pirates. I'm glad to see that you are learning! While in reality, battle bears were more of a Russian pirate/navy thing (they were used to carry heavy things, like cannons!) we have them in game because its an RPG trope.

As for castles, we already talked about Sir Henry Morgan's raid on Panama! Let's also not forget about how Sir Henry took over Port Royal! I'm happy you learned something today, its a start!
