    Spent the last 12 hours looking through artic regions haven't come across this yet. Just tons of Wetwood. Does it not exist in game anymore or is it buy off a merchant in freeport only?

    First off, ironwood is kinda the 7th type, so its not mendatory to own it.
    You can get it when you do trades with a market as event.
    You cat trade it in freeport.
    It is not harvestable atm on official.

    The issue being ive traveled a ton of grids just to find one spot to put down 2 claim towers. People say there is open land...where?  The settlements. Oh yeah majority say Not Accepting Settlers. I pretty much refuse to live on a settlement due to the fact i could lose everything if somone decides to be an asshole. So again. Where is this land. Sure I could sail around for another week and hope people dont log in. Sorry but if i dont make progress in a game within a week. That spells the end of the game for me. Living off a sloop isn't my idea of a good time considering two have already been sunk. The only place ive seen open land is in the tundra. Ok so lets go back to when you first started the game. Did you have enough stuff to survive the polar regions? In a few days did you have a schooner w/Ballistas to take down whales?  Esp with the cost of the ships these days. Yep i've got the whole 2300 hours played. It was when the game first came out. I stopped when they brought in the owning an island or living on someone elses settlement. The only reason i came back was due to the claim towers going back to the original system. Yep i found 2 blueprints for a mine and lumberyard that i stupidly built thinking well. I could place them. Warehouse too. Yep buncha shit wasted. Unless i've missed something im guessing this teleporting you are speaking of is fast traveling to a bed. I mean sure its great if you find open spots without other peoples stuff. Im late to the dance and either waiting for server wipe, maybe find some claims not being updated or my only ship a schooner will get destroyed and i'll uninstall the game at that point because the rediculous gold cost for a ship skeleton is a bit steep. I hit level 56 before i actually found a place to call a kinda home. The main point is that the whole automated thing-They advertise it. Sure one or two people per island will get lucky enough to utilize them. But its honestly the biggest joke.

    Yes it is a big joke.
    They gave claim towers, but technically dont have a working restiction on how many you can place.
    Everyone want to have all 4 gatherers, but most island only have space for that 4.
    So one lucky player clutters the island with his towers to place the gatherers. Other people an put down Warehouses but no gathers.
    But the gathers are only really needed for trading, for base/shipbuilding in the beginning they are to slow. So if you want to progress, get some harvesting tames and go ahead.

    There is no need to have the farms, they surely help with the gold, but thats also slow and steady. Nowadays with rates a schooner is 2-3 green maps, or like 5-10 comon maps on your neighbour island.

    Again, for PVE the whole system is just a joke, a buggy mess. Noone needs it, no newbee and no established player.

    Best to play PVE as if that stuff doesnt exist.

    ALSO: BPs for Gatherers are bugged as hell too, so dont wast mats to craft them, esp when they are conected to a warehouse.

    When i logged in this morning there was only 500 people in game.  I've been on all day and maybe seen 5 people enter my grid. Currently i've seen more SoTd groups then players through grids. Had to go pick up some more crew after an unfortunate taming accident wiped out my crew members...8 grids in a sloop later.

    There are manned puckes/cannons to recuite crew 😉
    Did you try to tame a drake or what?

    Man, they are down to an average of 968 players. That is one of the worst numbers I have ever seen in gaming. That small number is also spread throughout 3 big clusters and Unofficials.

    I gotta make sure to ask the guys on official servers what it is like to play an online single player game lmao

    we are close to averaging only .5 player per server. Like not even I full person. Just a half a person lol

    You did prove multiple times that you cant really handle data, maybe stop using them in your arguments.
    What is your mission here btw, since almost a year you bring up the same stuff from time to time. If atlas isnt yours anymore, just let it diefor you and move on.

    I wish to ride some fast Caravelle or Corvette ship, to serve some fraction, hunt pirates, escort trade expedition, explore the world... or... to be a pirate. Not just pick sausage-like ship called turtle, and fight disco-rave damned ship with jet engines...

    Same!
    Thanks for your review, how can they release the fourth broken ship in a row?

    This is happening, half of my claimed area disappeared as well as several mines have disappeared from claimed area. Either some rogue staff members is abusing power or some serious hacking

    All stuff that you claimed (was placed before withhin a new claimed area) will have a shortent decay timer, its 2 days for floors and pillars.
    So when you dont reset daily it might vanish. You can rebuild after you claimed to prevent that.
    The devs came and said new claim system, better then the old (2019). Turned out they implemented a mess, super buggy and exploitable.
    Why everyone start to reinventing the wheel first tries a rock?

    Some ideas for atlas

     

     

     

    Why can you make a half pvp / pve server?

     

    Make the lawless areas pve but they must use a clam flag.

     

    The pve areas only have common material. To force players to go to pvp islands to min  or to trad.

     

    You can also make pvp islands that  work with clam flags.

     

    Inside you calmed area people cant kill you or brake your staff. So the island is half pve /pvp people can kill you if you are not in your clam area. Then pvp islands are full pvp.

     

    NPC  you can make rare NPC that can do stuff better so people must

     

    Go look for them on islands or on the water. Make them breed-able or not. So people can trad with them.  

     

    Why would any pve player want to play on such server?

    We are currently working on a fix for the recent character rollback issues, we plan on releasing a fix for this as soon as it is available.

    They will try to fix the issue, not your problem, dont expect to get your char fixed 😞

    Well the rollback of characters etc... is caused by players dying and then travel to another grid so if you don't spawn in the grid that you die some stuff will be reset, like tattoo for example. In worst case scenario you lose alot of progress. And i do hope you guys realize that its the mortarship who is causing resources not to respawn. Maybe you also wanna adress that underwater glitch where all of sudden you're like floating in the air and can see all fishes and what not swimming(flying)

    I see the problem more with the crashing servers, on pve we allways had some cases of strange chars (our severs arent crashed that much as PVP). But only with the more frequent crashing due to the maps, the problem became more visible.

    That stuff started when they introduced the level set back in Season 4 for my understanding.

    The changes to swimming are really annoying, but i think its same problem as the submarine sailing. THe weather (storms, wind strength) is calcualted based on time only, but with lag, or restarts, the time can change. So the client weather does not fix the server weather.
    You have two differnet waterlines then, resulting in giving you the bugged view, and makes it really hard to grab ladders.

    I have now no doubt anymore that developers are helping certain groups.

    It all started when my shooner in my shipyard got deleted 2 times within a time perriod of 20 min. That cant be coincidence, and it definitely wasnt a bug.
    Some companies have invincible structures that take no damage. Depending on who is friend with developer gets that luxus ability, huh?!

    THen one time when we were attacking a flag island, my whole ally got disconnected at once, while they were chased by a schooner. The shooner then almost sunk the ship when they came back.

    1 Of my  ally got teleported teh day before into the middle of the ocean while we being in a fight with the same company that somehow disconnected us (or the developer). And this happend to me, i got teleported into the middle of the ocean right after i fell from my elephant onto the soil of their flag island. Besides, when we still had our tames and were fighting on land, they were all set to passive (we never set them to passive), i quickly noticed them not fighting back, so i set my yeti to "attack my target". And when my yeti got attacked (i was on an elephant) it again didnt fight back. On top of that did my puckles on the elephant never shoot at any enemy. I was like, huh?! wtf why are they not shooting. Then i saw my allies tame getting attacked and not fighting back either, so i told my ally that his tames were set to passive, he replied that cant be he set them to neutral before. This all makes clear that some developer was helping "Rive Sud" the clan we on whos island we were fighting.

    And today this: I jump into a ship fight against another company (4th dimension) and I noticed quickly that my cannons were bugged. Every time I moved the aiming cone over the opponents ship the aiming got canceled. U know  when the the grey aiming cone turns into yellow, yeahj that exact moment. And i kept dragging and draggin and it fucking didnt wana work, even if the brig was right behind my schooner. RIGHT BE HIND ME, 10 METERS AWAY. And the cannons simply couldnt FUCJKING aim at it!!!!The aim cone didnt appear.  Even my fire bolt ballista coudlnt  aim. So fuck off! I used that thing hundrets of time just like the cannons and I know how they work. Ther were like 30-40 situations like this. And then my schooner started acting weird, driving into the wrong direction even if i told it to go into the other. At one point my schooner was so out of control, when i tried to take the curve away from the shore and pressed the button to lower my sails, the sails actually immidiaetly accelerated again and the ship just fucking drove straight, it didnt listen to my commands. So i ran with full speed into the shore, and ofc that was my end, i coudlnt get out fast enough before the brig  came and shred me into pieces.

    And this is just my story, there is lots of players' reports that mention server being shut down or they all got disconneacted etc right in a big fight.

     

    I am done with this game and the admin abuse of it. 

    And btw this goes also into my steam review!

    If bug or cheat, this only proves that this game is no way near pvp ready 😞

    The player placed bank will only work if you wait for a server restart.  It's a feature or a bug.... up to you.

    On PvP basically all tax banks are permanently destroyed and trades get blocked. You gain gold from trading with yourself and you pay taxes that are just in the "nirvana" system. Others don't want you to get gold by trading.

    You can claim Sea forts and unclaim them to make them neutral again for free trading. But good luck to find neutral sea forts on the map^^

     

    WOW the devs are even worse then i thought. This system has have to be implemented to create points of interest/conflicts, but the main parts dont work, and the working stuff is overpowered.

    BTW wanna hear funny story? Unfortunately Kummba didn't have all 50 tentacles when I first asked, and gave me just 40. So I decided to check if some1 can sell me 10 missing tentacles. I was doing some resource and treasure business all around the atlas and every grid I visit I asked if someone can sell me 10 tentacles?

    And soon I received a message that guys have them, and ready to sell them to me for just 6k gold (I mean last season the guy asked 50k for 50 tentacles so 6k was even cheap in some ways). I agreed, anchor my ship to the shore they point and...2 guys came, they took 6k gold and run away : ))

    I mean... it was no big deal for me (I constantly gather 50k gold from treasures, spend them, then gather up to 50k again), and I hope those 6k will serve them well. And probably it was part of PIRACY concept. But...

    Well. Someone, who doesn't do this well, might lost everything he got so far, and will be really sad about it.

    Next day I met a guy who sold me 10 tentacles for 200g : ))

    Its  a bit offtopic, but pricing is so hard now with all that gold around.
    People can get >7k a day per market, litteraly doing nothing for it.
    So 5k might still be a fortune for some, others are despawning it bc of weight issues 😂
    People that steal bc this is a pirate game can fuck off. There is not threat for a pirate in this game, so its pretty onesided view.
    All pirate like pirates should do that pirate life in PVP tbh.

    - How do your game work when no online players around?

    Today I lost my Star Butterfly Brig, due to internet DC (I'm not complaining, sometimes sh..t happens) I was in the middle of the ocean, and as far as I saw - there were no damned ships around. Then I hit internet loss for approx 30 minutes, and after I logged in again I found myself in to waters and saw my destroyed ship sinking right in front of me. Also there were no damned ships around. 

    So what actually happened while I was gone??? Something appeared and destroyed my ship? And after that my destroyed ship stayed on surface, waiting for me to log it so I could see it goes underwater??? Is that how it works???

    I mean, I could understand if something happened with my ship while I was gone, and then I found myself in the water near shipwrecks. But when my ship is waiting for me to sink - it's pretty weird IMAO.

    In generall, server goes into stasis when its not rendered. Meaning it saves it current state and continue from there when someone is around again. Doing calculations from when it went to sleep up until current date. Everything happened while offline, will occur now when its rendered again. Tames that died in stasis will get reported to died current date too.

    So now you logged in again and rendered the server (part), the server will caculate the water coming into your ship from a leak, and if it would have sunk like 20 min ago, it will let it sink in the moment you render it. Thats also how the server let you jump to a decayed bed, but when you arrive your whole base is there, bc it decayed only when you rendered it.

    In your case there are some possibilities as to why your ship sunk.
    All will most likely happen while someone passed your ship and rendered the server for some time. Also when you DC, your char is still online for 3 minutes, and the server is active therefore. So maybe your char was triggering following events.
    - Storm ->cyclones ->leak
    - Sotd ->leak
    - normal decay ->leak

    - sailing over a whale -> leak

    This whole mechanic can be a pain for breeders, bc
    - meat get spoild first, babies are only allowed to eat afterwards.
    - tames / babies dont heal in stasis
    - stuff that dies in stasis dont get propperly reported (no course given)


    PS: Use tames for farming. A Rhino gets your flint way more easy, but i have to agree that the changes to hand farming  are a pain.
    Eles and giraffes are actually usefull.
    Plus points for pink tools tho 😂
