I noticed yesterday that a 2 man team was able to tame a level 33 Elle in about 45 minutes or less. The secret was the second row of door frames in the taming pen were hanging in space which lessoned the amount aggro. I know everyone has different methods but that seemed to work ok.

I’m impressed how fast I had an issue handled in PVE. I thought for sure it would be ignored but it was taken care of almost immediately. Good sign.

I thought you always had to be in the bubble and at least shoot at it to get the skill. What am I missing?

Thank you for the prompt handling of an issue. Speed and resolution were excellent. We are all very grateful that the time was taken to improve our gameplay. @Voodoo you and your team rock.

Freaking laser beams attached to their heads! Excellent! @Gindorf

Why stop with lasers?!? We have cyclones! We have sharks! I’m not a programmer but I bet it’s super easy to have some shark spawn in and fly out of a good old fashion Sharknado!

For the first time since first launch I have run into real jerks. The ones that I’ve have read about here over and over again. Endless thatch barriers across the entire island in less than a week. They blocked all the resources, they blocked all the land bridges, they blocked in people’s boats. It’s only them mind you. Every other person I’ve met has been great. Over a year ago I said here that I treat this game like a rpg with real people. I guess I’ll deal with the bad hombres and keep playing because I know in just a little bit they will be wiped again. Lol.

Yes it has no sense. This is the third time we have lost everything and have had to start over. On the bright side think of all the memories you can make.

Video Games for $300, Alex. Define Irony in Atlas. What is A Wargoddess breeding cows on PVE? Correct! (I love this game)

I agree with @DannyUK, I’m seeing some real nice walls being built to close off areas on PVE. This of course is ridiculous because it causes problems that can’t be corrected and then people complain and file tickets and it’s why PVE under the current system is broken. The red headed step child of Atlas that’s an afterthought by the devs. The absolute best method that works for people who build like morons is wait them out. They will disappear from not logging on or wipe number 4.

Have your wife get kilt over and over whilst you shoot it and throw bolas. This is my preferred method.

I have played now today for 8hrs or so on PVE and the crowds remind me of being at a campground on the 4th of July. I have been stuck in a hole twice. It seems like the map has been changed exclusively to make PVP better which is what they said they were doing. Right now there is 70 to 80 people in every almost lawless server. Player interaction indeed! FYI, Alice island that was in L9 is now in G3, happy to see that it made the cut. I was also impressed that they kept the time table that they said they would for the update. Hats off for that.

I just got some from C7 northwest island behind huge statue of dude with a lantern. Emeralds.

Because everyone is in different time zones let’s do a plus method time pool. Right now, the official time is 8pm PST plus 45 minutes. This is the actual stated time when we can connect. My guess is plus 3hrs or 11pm PST.

This should be a surprise to no one. One day we had NA-PVE, then we didn’t. Zero warning. They hate us. I will be restarting for the 4th time tonight at midnight on official (maybe) Why? Because I love abuse. I asked yesterday if this was going to happen to private servers and I got a shoulder shrug. I’m sorry that I like this game more than the people that made it.

@Bluestone “ Everything and everyone” So private servers also if they update?

I knew this would be fun. This post was made the week I started playing and as @DannyUK says, 2 years later and we don’t know the answer. Good times.

I just thought it would be fun to resurrect this. Looking forward to Season 4 with you nice folk. It’s nice to know some of our questions never get answers isn’t it?

I’m more than happy to profit off a pirate war and avoid the dangers of being attacked. That actually sounds like a lot of fun. Make us PVE’rs earn the right to not be attacked with gold, letters of mark, traders guild or whatever. A diverse economy and player base is the key that many game devs never find. If someone wants a sterile and safe PVE pirate environment you might be asking too much. Besides there are private servers everywhere for that. I will always be PVE but it would be fun to be part of a more dynamic Atlas world.

Maybe you’ll get a hat.

Thank you for acknowledging my plight @Chucksteak. I will try to explain in just a few words why Atlas as PVE is so appealing. It’s gorgeous, you can sail and explore, it has risk with some challenges, it’s creative, it has other friendly people online and it can be played just an hour or two a day by a middle aged couple who just want a fun pastime. I know we aren’t the core driving the change but it sure fits everything we look for in a game. In fact, it’s so good at what it does for us, it’s hard to find an alternative. We have spent hours and hours collecting animals from players who quit only to give them away to new players just starting out. The joy you can get helping out other people in this game who don’t expect it is amazing. I hope there is a place for players like us in the new Atlas because to my wife and myself, it’s a great way to spend a dark winter evening. We have been married 26yrs and playing pc computer games together the whole time.

Welcome all to my store! I will be selling all my animals at crazy prices. Come to NA L9 and check out my huge assortment of animals that no longer exist. Yes, in less than one day and without warning, our entire inventory of fine stock disappeared into the Ethereal Plane. But that doesn’t mean I still can’t sell them. Behold! I present to you the finest specimens of Reindeer, Moose and Buffalo that I was able to collect in far off grid Q16. Attach a cart to a Reindeer and deliver crushing blows to your enemies from the sky! Mount a moose and be a Mountie from the Great Multi Colored North! Even you will sing along with Mr Marley as your soldiers ride actual Buffalos into battle! Operators are standing by, call now. Ask about our special gift Zebra baskets!

This post reminds me of that time my drunken father came back home after being missing for eight months and told me I had to change schools because we were moving with no explanation of why. He also introduced my new “mom and brother”. He was really friendly but I just felt like I was being poorly handled.

I have a solution. PvP can be great when it’s mixed with PVE evenly. You have PVE islands that can’t be raided while PVP islands can. Separate PVE and PvP ship design. One can attack and be damaged and the other is safe. It’s perfect. PVE could sell to PvP encouraging trade. PVE ships can be attacked if they are at PVP harbors. There. I solved it. Let’s play. Heck let’s just do factions. I would like to on be the peace loving bear hugging sponge bob type of pirate faction. The rest can play the scary rated M black sails pirate faction. They go around and are like “Argh! We name our animals after our privates and don’t use soap.” Whilst I am a more like, “Look dear, these flowers are really pretty on this hillside and oh look...a waterfall!” Yeah good times ahead, meanwhile I’ll paint the kitchen until you have my game ready.

@ATLAS News please put the NA server back up for a couple days so we can take some screenshots at least. You have my money and 1200+hrs of my family’s time invested. I would like to be able to post at least something positive about the way you have handled this. Thank you, Gomez
