Whitehawk

well I was online on eso last night and if you think roughly 14 players in one region is busy you're the one whos trippin.

ok, many thx

I remember before ESO went to tam one in its structure, a lot of the long term players including myself told them in forums that it was a stupid idea and would almost make levelling and factions pointless. However on the forums a lot of new players said we were too stuck and the new idea was better etc.Well they did it anyway and now the server is almost empty most days. and all the new players that opposed us are gone.

where did you find the amethyst on the skull island, I got a base there and I haven't found any.

Well I believe that for a game to survive it does need a set course/plan, I just watched worlds adrift it's last days on youtube and I was thinking how easy it is for a game to lose direction, I hope that never happens to atlas. Although with worlds adrift I noticed that they didn't do much to bring in outside influences and investors or even release it multi platform which at least atlas is doing. One thing they did wrong in that game though from the very start they had the players far too involved in the way it was developing, too many people pulling and pushing in too many directions only causes confusion and misdirection, and can easily derail a project. I wouldn't want that to happen here.

Well it's horses for courses, I suggested an airship as you know, Yet I get people say it's not pirate themed etc, then some of us suggest teleports, again we get the same negativity. Then the same pirate purists go off to their giant crabs, subs etc. At the end of the day fantasy is fantasy it could mean almost anything regardless of it being pirate themed. Ok the devs said airships are prob a no go even though it's been on their header since startup, but there are other things that could be added that aren't strictly pirate themed.

The Hydra island freeport has fish and most other resources, it's a great place for a base.

The problem is though this isn't strictly speaking a pirate game and to argue that we have to keep it one is pointless. As far as I am aware captain kidd never raided ships on a giant crab, blackbeard never had torpedoes, Did anne bonney Use a submarine? And how many people stand by the pirate theme whenever other ideas are mentioned and then go back to their submarines and torpedo armed ships? Or jump on their giant crabs?

Yeh and NMS has just messed up the controller support for pc too.

Don't know how we are supposed to explore the mermaid city without a sub though. Never done it in a suit but I suppose it can be done.

well the hydra island has almost everything I need but I didn't find wheat only maize. It has tin and iron no salt so far except by digging, and it does at least have a cosmetics vendor.I know the frozen cyclops isle has gems too. But I wouldn't say the blackwood map has every resource , not that i've found yet anyway.

Like any mmo to keep people playing you have to regularly add content, I think my message in bottles quests are a good idea for some of that. But quests will have to be the way to go at some point. Adding cosmetic content always helps too. I think the airship is something that needs to be reconsidered for the future, as it's no longer technically a pirate mmo now anyway. Different building skins etc, all of these sorta things keep people playing.

Yeh I used the soap and erased the original sails, now nothing I paint shows up. It shows on the mini picture in paint mode but when I open the sails they are just plain.

Anyone know how to use the soap to erase the sails yet?

Hello, I have 4 suggestions, 1.Could you have the bottles have messages in them from shipwrecked pirates that need rescuing? Maybe join our crew for free as payment? 2. Could we have proper stern lanterns please? makeshift ones don't look that great. 3. The Hydra island freeport in blackwood has some lovely oriental style buildings, Could we have the style to build with? 4. Could we have the bowsprit as part of the ship build? as it's not actually a figurehead it's the mast that's above it, and you can't put another figurehead underneath. Many thx. ps the hydra island in blackwood is stunning btw.
