Hey Atlastians, thought i'd have a look at farmhouses in single player but even though they are in skills, they are not in the smithy to build! Is it a glitch or deliberate ? Anyone know?

Unfortunately most mmo's seem to think that making a game more grindy, keeps people from noticing the lack of any added game content. 

I'm sure some of the people on this forum only post here cos they were banned from twitter ! It's easy to spot a die hard pvp player on Atlas forum, cos they are the ones doing the attacking. They just can't seem to help it. 

I understand island owners frustration, but it doesn't stop said island owners from spamming beds all around lawless when they can. And they know full well we can't demolish them.

Tbh I could understand wanting that much control if you owned a server and pay for it with real money, but not if you have claimed an island as part of a game mechanic. No one forces anybody to claim an island, you could just live on someone else's or build on lawless. If you give island owners too much control you just end up with some having a god complex and exploiting the power. I was always quite happy on lawless anyway, it's not as bad as people make out.

I always thought that the whole point of being able to own an island, was being able to delete peoples spam in part. If nobody is allowed to build in the first place, then what is the point of being able to demolish it and having a timer? I doubt if anyone would want to have to physically allow people to build every time they ask. And to be honest I asked island owners in the past and all I got was a load of owners trying to be oh so clever with sarcastic remarks. Then another time I built a small hut after asking permission, and the next day it was destroyed, cos apparently it was in the  wrong place. So in the end I stayed on lawless. I don't think the current Island owning situation is ideal, but I don't see many ways round it tbh.

This happens all the time in conan exiles, but the decay timer is a lot lower. and normally the people who do it move on anyway. When I played Ark someone griefed me by putting pipes all the way round my cabin. When that didn't work they surrounded my hut with massive dinos. In the end I had so much lag I couldn't actually play anymore. I wouldn't have minded if I had built a massive base but it was only about 8 blocks square. It was a massive tribe too, they just thought it was funny. Stopped me playing ark for good tbh.

Strange thing is I haven't seen a pve player saying they should abandon pvp or implement loadsa nerfs that would make pvp rubbish. Weird how so many pvp players are hostile towards pve. Even though  imo  the devs are actually more suited to pve, as they haven't made a decent pvp side to a game yet.

Yeh except there isn't that much to spend your gold on, that's why megas end up with loadsa wonga.

The problem I foresee is if games like skull and bones get released, which is essentially gonna be hardcore ship pvp battles. Atlas has more potential as a pyrate survival game than a rust on water style of game. Yeh a lot of people like pvp, but not all of them are gonna want to play at being pyrates. And bearing in mind, after the initial purchase of the game, there is no income from it, and it isn't good enough to have a subscription or micro transactions. It will just end up as another pvp grief fest, with tons of unfixed bugs, what a bore.

I think the farmhouses will be great for pvp, but why would you want to do less in pve? Not sure about the ships though as building and selling ships is something players could do, It would be nice if they were blueprints for different ship types though.

I don't know about the trade winds, but my galleon in sp is now slower, I used to get 12 knots now it does 9 - 10.

What about glass in the game u know for windows n stuff, I mean they do have glass windows in ark after all. Btw paper, sometimes u need to jump up on a ladder then click climb.

First of all i'd like to point out that unless you start Atlas with other people then you always start out solo. Secondly there are a lot of ways of making your base less detectable, although it will now be tougher with a smaller map. but if you look for long enough you will find places that aren't easy to see or stumble on, but in an exploration game no matter how well you hide, your base will be discovered eventually.

Amazing, a 3 question pyrate Q and A ? Where you pick and choose what questions you answer ? To make the player base feel like they are included ? And you're serious ? Mr Anderson, we have a problem.

I personally am not sure where Atlas is heading, but one thing is for sure, people have a right to play it and and enjoy as much as people have the right not to. Besides I and many others have had our moneys worth so far. If people are that bothered about a realistic pvp pyrate game, then inundate ubi with requests to speed up skull and bones. I mean that's been in production for nearly 3 years now and so far I've only ever seen a demo!

If you type factions in the search box and tick topics, you might find a few.

Have you read any previous posts on factions?

Ive just been to a freeport where the passage is so narrow I didn't think I would get my ship in, so I have also noticed terrain and islands have been done with pvp in mind. On a plus side the smaller map has improved my xbox graphs and performance. It would have been good if they could have added a bit of content, even a damn carpet would have been nice. But overall the update did go quite smoothly, and as has been said, on time too. So lets see what they do next. That's if people can handle the overcrowding in pve anyway, at least in pvp you can blow them up.

America? Is that the only country in the world with free speech? Or do you think it is the only country in the world? Try not to be so narrow minded and stick to Atlas game talk eh.

Ok, so apart from the usual spawning into the sea, (SP) .no resource bugs(again) and getting stuck, which all seem to happen everytime now. What does everyone actually think of the new update? For me I am not happy about the wipe again, and maybe another one coming for pve eventually( maybe not). But for now at least, pve seems almost like business as usual. Haven't played the pvp yet so can't comment on the claiming etc. And I haven't claimed any land yet in pve either. Is that still the same?

A player told me he found some gems in c10, emeralds I think.

Yeh I mean what makes you think you all have the right of free speech (or text anyway)?

Like I say, there is only so many times you can rearrange furniture, before you realize you need a new house.

Yeh they are being too non committal about future plans for pve, I don't read so much as what they do say, more about what they are not saying. But I still think they will give it a month to see what happens with the player base before they change pve.
