Server tame limits have always been a thing, even in Ark. The problem is that you cant see what it is and the only way to know if it has been reached is to either try and breed and they wont or to look at a wild animal and see if says its tamable. An added issue is that even though the tame limit is reached meaning you cant tame or breed you can still bring additional tames into the server which forces you even further over cap. In Ark it was fixed by people mass transporting tames to another server or if someone left the game we would just mass murder their tames with dragons to bring the cap back down. In Atlas there is no easy way to murder tames like you can in Ark so tames people don't want or need anymore either get stuck on wander and let go or parked in the corner. Only really effective way is to walk them onto campfires and leave them to die. But yeah, server cap is a thing and C7 has reached it. What the limit is or how far over it is is anyone's guess but it will either need people to kill tames they don't use or move tames out the zone for it to be fixed. I don't see either happening. And if they did it wouldn't take long to be back to cap as people use temperate to breed bears as its the easiest zone. Pretty screwed tbh....

So with the merger of NA and EU, the zones over crowed and full to capacity, the lag and ping spikes in most lawless areas, we now have zone tame limits being reached (C7). Joy

If a smithy or whatever is placed on a foundation they will destroy and go when the decay timer runs out. They only hang around for the full 30 days if they are placed directly on the ground. So if it is a base with floors etc then it should all go at the same time.

No its just so big it went out of my render range for the far side.... If you go closer it fills up.

Should they be allowed? In Lawless the ping is already ridiculous but this guy is taking the... https://prnt.sc/topt5j https://prnt.sc/toptcr

I thought that was fixed? As long as your fully anchored so the anchor icon is green you shouldn't be sinkable.

Whats the deal? I feel it needs some attention. I use the Sextant and get the buff. Sometimes I see the wreck spawn locations, sometimes I don't. Is it bugged? Hows it meant to work? I sail around and go to the indicators and quite often I don't find anything at all. Sometimes i'm on my way to one and come across a wreck that wasn't even on my map? Seems the spawn locations are way off half the time and only a 50/50 chance they're even there. If its meant to mean a potential spawn location which may be on CD, OK I can live with that. When I do come across a wreck i've spent ages searching for, recently I have found SOTD patrolling them (which there seem to be a lot of btw), sometimes they will eventually drift off if I wait long enough but have to wonder is it worth it, when you finally get to it and its only a 3. something quality which i'd say 70% of them seem to be. Why can the spyglass not be used to check quality like you can with flotsam (which tbh isn't really worth your time on PVE), at least i'd know whether or not to waste my time on it? The biggest kick in the teeth is getting that decent quality shipwreck, getting down to it, and finding it half clipped into the seabed with no way inside.

^^ So this. SO frustrating. Sometimes get lucky and the treasure is in the front where the back is buried but a lot of the times you cant get into the ship to loot because the wreck is clipped into the sea floor.

I just logged out and there were 80 online in 1 zone.. The atmosphere in there was a bit... questionable.. people being idiots for the sake of it, killing tames while others were taming them for lols and giving each other grief even for asking questions. Guessing the kids came out of hiding. But mixing 2 regions into a smaller map is going to have people living on top of each other. And that's going to put people's backs up over resources and space etc. People were spamming foundations all over beach fronts which I get if you want to expand to that point and reserve your land until you build on it but sometimes spamming way beyond what you'd need and where it clearly isn't necessary. Bugs have turned up which didn't exist before like farming fibre for instance. Resources seem strangely spread out. Like in some temporate zones there are strawberry's EVERYWHERE but not much of anything else. Seems this game just took a really big step backwards.

What would need you to work in shifts? Gestation is 4 hours. Once the baby is born you fill it with food and just keep topping it up for the first half an hour or so, this should then give you at least an hour away from your comp by then. Come back after an hour and fill it with 5 stacks and that should be enough. Once it reaches 10% it becomes juvi and feeds from a trough. As long as you have plenty of them stocked up you could walk away and come back 2 days later to a fully grown bear. The only time you would need to come back is to imprint and that is every 8 hours. So if you time it right you can do one late at night and one early morning, set an alarm Bottom line, you only really need to be with them for the 1st half an hour or so of their lives. They are very easy to breed.

But why?

If it has been abandoned just wait until the decay timer runs out and it will all auto destroy. If they are active and reset timers unfortunately there isnt anything you can do.

I've been messing around with Elephants lately. Breeding in Equatorial so you get the weather swings. I don't use grills or fires anymore I came up with a system using Torches. I place a 3x3 set of wood guns mounts in a close bundle. If you place a wall hook on them they turn into a spike which you can place torches into. You then set the pin codes all the same and pin code them to a electric lever switch. Then go around the outside and place another 12 torches and pin code them to a different number. Code them to a second switch. When its day I turn everything off and the temperature is ideal. When it gets colder in the afternoons into the evening I turn on switch 1, the 3x3 set. When it hits night time and the temp plummets I turn on switch two. Reverse as we come out of night into day. This keeps my elephants happy 100% of the time. Also tested it and works with parrot eggs. I build over the top of the setup and the heat transfers through the floor so its clean and tidy. This is what it looks like under the floor.

I understand the sign post I saw the other day now. Was walking past a new base the other day with a sign out front which said "disgruntled NA PVE Players" now I get it... By forcing all PVE players onto one server do you think there is going to be anywhere to build when everyone floods the grids... NO! Imagine the lag this is going to cause. If the post reads how it sounds like focusing on PVP and something more for PVE is this a response to Sea of Thieves which you've probably lost a lot of players to reading their steam reviews. I've played each phase of this game since launch, i'm not starting from scratch again. All the time spent breeding and getting my bears stats up, wasted again... Why do you need to wipe maps? Why cant you add servers and create a new map on them like your little ARK baby. The Island, The Center, Scorched Earth etc and you can travel between them. You've already got the Mayan / Aztec aesthetic in Atlas, you could utilize that as some sort of long lost Mayan Power which you can use to travel between them, our version of Tek which you have to unlock through end game content. Previous experience says this is going to go like it has the past 3 times, give us a little taste, reap whatever profits and pump it into the next exp of Ark. People remember.

B1 has been restarted. I got in and got myself out

Ive had a problem with our grill. We had 2 next to each other running from the same pipe line. The grills acted like they were taking water from each other and couldn't work out which one to use. Then when we demolished one so the 1 grill had a supply. It then showed that we had wood and water supply so we lit the grill but all items were still greyed out even though we had the mats. We could still create what we wanted but everything was still grey.

Happened the other month to a different server, a server restart fixed it. Apparently Admins are aware, no one has acknowledged anything from Atlas though.

Didnt pay the upkeep so they Mutinied

Cant even get anyone to acknowledge it, either here, discord.. anywhere. Is anyone even looking at a fix?

I did a server outage report yesterday. Cant believe it takes this long to address. There seems to be loads of people held hostage there. I missed my Kraken fight yesterday because of this. Luckily my company are cool and didnt do it without me..

B1 is bugged, I got kicked out and now cant rejoin. Been trying for over an hour. Many others have the same problem. Please fix.

I'm Stuck in B1. Come on Guys restart the server. I got kicked out and now cant connect. Been trying for over an hour, no luck. Stay out of B1!!!

So its been a while since this shock revelation landed that all our stuff is going to be wiped. My company cba to play now they know its not worth it... The "oh please still play our game, here's X6" hasn't worked as its like a ghost town around my island. By now i'd have loads of resources in my tax bank from farmers, treasure hunters etc... I have nothing but scraps... no one can be bothered. May as well wipe it now. I'd hoped you learnt your lesson from ARK but no, we're here again, with the same mistakes, the same cry babies wanting wipes and to have their cake.... The people crying for server wipes for the past few months are the cry babies who cant get their palm beach view on the island of their choice because they were late to the party lol (i'm in northern biome btw). The build anywhere idea is retarded. The flags were a decent solution to the problems we had in ARK (which you have just re-introduced) there is gonna be pillaring everywhere again. All it needed was for the flags to be tweaked or capped so people cant go mental with them. Any thoughts on a single player mode like in ark to test builds etc. That was handy before building in real world. Not feeling the love for PVE. Maybe time to move on....

So PVE will just turn into a pillar spam like it did in ARK, well done. learned from that one didnt we.....

Yep, same for me. Seems to be more the front end of the Galleon. Cant place anything. Using Q and a lot of moving around eventually got to place the remaining ceilings but cant do anything else keeps saying I need support??
