trouble with a lotta mmo's devs find it easier to make the game grindier than to add content and make the game exciting to play. And yeh I agree about the skill tree, when I started a company I thought we'd all have different skills to offer, but no you all have to have basically the same which just seems daft. If a shipyard is company built then anyone should be able to build any ship on it if the skills have been bought already by an individual in the group, same as tames. alternatively they could give you the chance to open every skill line as an individual player. although there is discovery points atm.

Yeh I play pc and xbox and xboxers totally got a raw deal in comparison. I can't import any designs on my flags or sails either which is damn annoying. and even my controller is more responsive on pc. I understand the graphics aren't gonna be as good but there is other stuff the devs could do to help, like giving xboxers pirate logo skins or nation flags for ship flags.

I wonder if the game risk would have been so popular after all these years if you could attack your enemy after he's gone to bed?

Go lawless if you do pve, d7 used to be good.

It's funny how you criticize people for picking the wrong game or playing safe in pve or sp when offline raiding is about as safe as you can get! Why cos you play pvp dyu think that makes you some kind of elite digital marine? I play pvp, a lot of us who play pve and sp do play pvp in games. But my ego isn't so fragile that I have to go round boasting about it. And as for you enjoying griefing people? How many legless spiders have you got in a tin?

Well actually pyracy is robbery at sea, not sure about ships that are docked but I guess they are on water. Also this is supposed to be based on the golden age of pyracy 1650 - 1720 where pyrates worked together, with no mention I can find of a submarine a giant crab torpedoes and a dragon! This is at best a fantasy game now.

Well the old this is a pyrate mmo comes out everytime you have an idea that's controversial. Even though this isn't strictly a pyrate mmo anyway. I'd like to add that pyrates rarely attacked each other for the reason that they knew it would be a fight to the death with barely any chance of surrender. Most pyrates would work together when it suited them. They attacked naval vessels and merchant ships mostly. Yeh there were rivalries aboard a ship amongst the men, but not with other pyrate ships. This game is not a realistic pyrate mmo ,anymore than lord of the rings is a ww2 novel.

Anyone else had ship parts missing when they log in? I had my sloop ladder disappear and a figurehead too.

I'd like the large shipyard scaffolding to be wider so not only will I be able to see what I'm building but I also won't keep falling off.

As you travel around use your fishing rod, there are fish around the hydra isle top right on map. I camped by the oriental style village dock.

you can look the stats up on youtube of all atlas weapons. someone did a vid of all of them.

no especially as i've got building decay turned off.

It depends on how you like to play, if you like a head start then play single player ocean for a while then go over to pve or pvp once you're established.. good luck.

Yeh logged in tonight to find similar in single player on xbox. Boat half gone, buildings full of gaps, and that's with building decay turned off too.

Well the handling sail does help a bit, it's better than not moving at all like I have without one.

Well the big difference between politics and video games is quite distinct, no one forces you to buy their video games. But you have barely any choice over your country's leadership, so yeh as far as i'm concerned the two are very different beasts. no one put a gun to your head and made you buy atlas I assume? and you're obviously not happy, I'm not sure if it's atlas or your life in general but you certainly need to get over it.

most pyrates used small ships only, it was very rare for any to have a large ship.

It's not a sailing game exactly though is it, it's a survival mmo, with buildings and structures and islands etc. naval action is a sailing game.

Actually airships were in the first version of atlas, and tbh I'd like them in the game, but not the ones they designed first rather more of a balloon and a ship style cabin underneath so you would have to steer with the wind. I don't care either way, but people using the argument against fast travel who quote this being a golden age pyrate and sailing game is just plain wrong. Submarines, torpedoes, elevators, giant crabs, dragons etc, this is not a golden age pyrate or sailing game anymore.

Well i'm quite happy for pve to stay that way so some friendly npc villages would make a nice change.

I use a wooden ladder for the sloop underdeck, but don't have the hatch too near the front of the sloop or you won't climb.

yeh nintendo must be really regretting using the same mario format for years by now, I bet they're skint.

I've asked for this before. But anyway on the xbox if you press pause then hold down X Y, LB, RB. then type ghost, and click admin command. it should get you out of most things, to get back to normal type walk.

yeh I wouldn't want them outside in pvp.

inside or out?
