So they probably won’t come back then. I mean no matter what it drips at least 20 a day every single day. That has been a trend for months now.

They will in about a month or so. Let them hit the level/weekly progress cap and they will be back. Classic WoW is so loved because it is both more and less of a commitment than modern WoW.

Did something significant like a mega get wiped. This is actually a significant event because the drop is a lot higher than usual.

Yesterday was the first full day of WoW Classic.

And what was that game with the little bloke in the massive explorers hat?  

On the 2600? I think that was Pitfall.

Actually they barely charged us for a playable game. Maybe it's cos i'm an old codger and grew up with bug filled games that loaded from tape in 45 mins if you were lucky and they didn't crash first.But i've played atlas for over 400 hours and I paid £11 for it, I played skyrim for about 300 hours and paid £40.I actually don't feel like I've had a bad deal at all.

Remember ET on the 2600? Or that terrifying abomination  "Pac Man" recreation (instead of a port....)

Look, the biggest problems for the community are obvious. In the better part of a year, they charged us for a barely playable alpha state, and for some, not playable for months. They have repeatedly failed deadlines, and blatantly left out promised content from updates. 

They have no direction, and when they do it changes like the wind direction in one of their storms. In a year this software has gone almost nowhere. Now they gonna focus on serving up a sad state of a game to Xbox players in an attempt to keep this boat from sinking.

Question is, do they have enough buckets to bail out the water while they harvest resources to build new planks. Maybe. But they probably ought to offer up a better sales pitch.

Working on multiple platforms is literally what you do when developing a game.

At least they are fixing it even though there are low numbers of players. Ark has gotten skipped on bug fixes that Atlas got and Ark has how many players? And the Genesis Expansion coming? Clearly this team cares more about this side project than their main game.

It is called AFK'ing. That is how real ark players play these games..... 

I rest my case.

Go back to Ark and take your entitlement with you.

I do play the game, I have like 3k hours or something fucking stupid, and no I will not be shutting up.

 

You spent nearly half a fucking year of your life (literally) playing this game.

What game? A game that doesn't even know what it is, isn't what it says it is, isn't what it wants to be.... a "game" that is more of a "oh yeah hey we promise" and changes according to whatever the devs think we want to hear....

Exactly. You just don't like the game. Stop playing and shut the hell up. OR: Deal with the answers we have for now. They need to overhaul major parts of the game, (they even said that) but, they don't know how to go about it yet. Want to make sure they walk the right path? Leave thought out and detailed posts in the feedback forum. Knock it off with all of this "DEAD GEAM" "NO DIRECTION" shit.

I'm sorry how many hours of this game have you played?  Did you not get your $20 worth?
Wanna call people crooks and shit over a 20 game that you played for hundreds of hours... my god.

could you please post a link to the stream you watched, I must have been watching the wrong one

You must have! I am pretty sure they touched on everything. I know they didn't answer everyone's questions verbaitum, or address problems that will be solved by new systems. Maybe try and watch again without chat turned on and you will have your questions answered.

Problem it was vague and no timeline. They did Blackwood, Xbox but meanwhile pc players are plagued with issues and servers are dying fast with the only answer to those problems is “wait on Xbox”. The biggest one asked and didn’t even get a vague answer was on wipe, but hey they answered cosmetic questions directly. 

I'm gonna float this at you; and I really want you to consider it.


Maybe they don't know either? Its a small team working on what is among  one of the most ambitious games to date. Most of the team are not professionals, but modders from the Ark community. Seriously cut them a lil slack.

If they did a bigger stream ya'll would have complained that "their ideas suck! Will ruin the game"

Ya'll got what you wanted:  Confirmation about more ships, offline defense, less tames, factions, crossplay, QOL, optimization.



Literally all of the complaints about this game were addressed and you're still crying about it. It might just be you don't like the game, dude.

@Realist 's complaints don't really hold water here, as per usual.

That is the one circumstance that regardless of playing experience, I won’t change my opinion. Take the claim system for example. Once the console release happens I know for a fact that I will not like it. Once I am playing the game I will come back here like I have always and give my opinion of distaste for the claim system.  

I wont have some epiphany to where I end up liking it. I don’t need to play the game to l ow what I dislike.

 

You're not going to dislike the system. People don't do the shit they do on Ark. You don't get "taxed" most land owners welcome settlers because it makes the island cheaper to maintain, they don't have to farm as much; and the usually will help you out. The culture of these two games is completely different man.


There's no pillar spam.

meh. no mans sky was a shit game for YEARS

A year*

Its only been two. Got damn, lol.

As I have been saying on the forums a lot here:

The team has done so much more for Atlas than for Ark. I got back into Ark just to be able to argue for Atlas this past two weeks; and boy does it make me appreciate Atlas. So many glitches and annoyances don't exist in Atlas that are still ever-present in Ark. We don't have the hit detection problems, problems with tames growling instead of attacking, griefing is harder, the graphics are better, the building system is better.... just about everything is better.

"Banwaves" when you have 600 people playing on a server cluster during peak times I'd probably avoid such grandiose terminology. A "banwave" at this point would result in an empty server.

Ark just had a massive banwave ya dingus.

I'd like to see bonuses to being actively at he helm and leaning the boat while follwing the drafts.

Tradewinds. Please god... Tradewinds.

More weather conditions, less fog, less cyclones when they appear.

Some sort of bouns-speed/sail angle minigame.

Ship upgrades such as beaching keels, raming bows, armor plating.

OARS FOR THE LOVE OF OATS, OARS.

Unoccupied crew also move freely around the ship, doing tasks like fishing, and repairing the ship. Just to make the ship seem less dead.

Option to select a destination and have a crew member at the helm sail there instead, allowing me to freely move about the ship doing repairs and fishing.

Crows nest slot for an NPC holding a spyglass. Reduces fog and marks targets.
 

Are there any plans to make skins functional in the future?

I feel like it is a waste of potential game-play mechanics to make all of the skins purely cosmetic. For example, the metal figurehead could be a ramming bow. The Hydra set could be a set that gives a bonus to taming. I think this would also be a better use of the blueprint system and a more traditional MMO approach.



In my "Atlas Nations" post I suggested a more traditional approach to PvP/E by using NPC factions. Are there plans to move forward with such a system to counteract the issues that currently effect PvP?

In this post I detailed a system (that admittedly needs some work) to allow both PvE and PvP players to play on the same grid, allow different flavors of PvP players to get content, and still allows for the current system of land claims. This more traditional system has worked for EvE Online; are there plans to move forward with a similar system?
 

Will there be any fixes for breeding and taming to make it a more casual, traditional MMO style affair?

I feel the breeding, storage, and taming of animals in Atlas is too much like Ark and cheapens the experience a great deal. Would the team be willing to take actions like: reduce breeding times, increase bola times, allow for power-stone taming, get rid of breeding temp requirements (or make an item equivalent to the Ark A/C Unit), allow newborns to use troughs, and make an number of tames summon-able/respawnable thus reducing their numbers and overall focus?

I think I am coming off the wrong way. I really don't think big red letters and hammers and sickles are "yelling." The colors of the USSR were red and yellow. Or are formatting jokes too out of style now?

 If you think speaking nice to people won't get anywhere with "these people" I can assure you that yelling profanity at them won't either.

At this point I am not trying to win them over. I just want them gone from this place. And, boy does being abusive get that done.

Think of Don Corleone in The Godfather. Not once did he raise his voice or spew profanity, even when face to face with the men who killed his first born son. But everyone listened when he spoke, and no one doubted he was a man to be reckoned with. He let the force of what he said carry its own weight. 

The Don could also kill people and get away with it. As soon as I can figure out how to do both through the internet, I might change my 'tude. Till then, decorum is for the birds as far as I am concerned. If people are going to come to this forum, or Reddit and do nothing but heap myths and hearsay about the game... Im gonna speak up. I'm not going to be nice because that isn't accomplishing anything with these people.

Again the whole "CASH GRRAB" bullshittiery. Comes from a place of both stupidity and entitlement. I have no patience for either.
Neither should you, it's what's wrong with the world.

So unlike yourself my posts stay on topic, and somehow relate to the game.

Your posts are either attacking the community or swearing or some combination of the two!

How about some of the attacks on the community!

I really don't think I need to say much more as your own word's say plenty!

Yes you are the problem. "Altas is just a cashgrab mod reskin totalconversion jatgrabgrab." Take that dispassionate shit to the toilet, and flush it. I'm here on these forums to see this game improve. Do you want to see the game improve or not?

Also, get over the colorful use of language, seriously, what part of Peglegtheangry can you not comprehend? I mean, there is obviously

plenty you can't comprehend (like finances.) It's a sailing game, I don't know what you expect from me.
