Like i said in 1 of the TOPICS, there is zero immersion, no point and purpose for smaller company , there is no trading , freeports are dead and were dead all time. Noone cares about trading cause RARE bp are not RARE at all.  There should be like 0,00000006 % chance for lets say purple walls or better boots for amor, for now better BP are useless due to game mechanic and easy raiding, you just need a horse or bear and you can raid offline someone in 1  hour.

I dont know what devs will do but i think they didn expect that so many ppl will leave game in 1 month.

The problem is Devs are focusing now on new content like new islands (i dont know why cause there is plenty free islands on PvP server now cause its dying) and new animals like...sea horse. Great. Well ok we cant force them to do smth else, thats their plan now in EA...but i think they should focus on game mechanic not on content now, it doesnt matter if they will throw a lot of animals or islands or quests if mechanic of this game is broken. There should be like someone said,  ZONE where you can capture your Island and keep it without this kind of bugs , that means without treasures or PvP,  you should only afraid there of running gold on that ZONE. And other ZONE is PvP zone free open where you can dig up treasures, fight for new lands better ones with better profits, where you can find  greater BP, where you can Tame bigger and better lvl of Animals. So you will neve rlose evrything cause there is always point where you can feel safe and start all over again.

On Safe ZONE you can feel safe BUT you cna lose it completly when other Company will give you pernament war which cost big ammount of Gold.

Yea i know thats PvP and we have peace time...but still somehow PvP server is dying, lets ask WHY ? Your lost is the only 1 from 99 problems of this game.

Would be nice to have WIPE 

Its not that ppl complain cause they hate game, its cause they want the game to be good . For now PvP server is dying maybe 40% of islands are claimed.

I for one would wipe the servers, make only one PVP server (which a physically all in one place = Germany anyway) and get rid of the PVE servers that do not work anyway, because of this being a game designed around PVP mechanics (as stupid bad as they are...)
Fix land PVP so that NPC defenses work and therefore make cost of attacking higher for the attacker, even if the streamers and the Zerg would complain about their lack of skill...
Fix ship PVP in that it becomes realistic to attract the pirate game players... again don't mind the screams of the skill-less...
Make it so that PVE players are almost always protected in a claim, while the claim itself is PVP all the time and if it is unclaimed it gets lawless and even PVE can be raided

That is so great idea. Man you have beer from me if they will do so.

I am playing ATLAS since realase date only with my friend. First of all for me game is good, not perfect cause of EA but at least good. I wasnt expecting much i know how ARK was working. The problem devs are focusing on content not on interaction let me explain what i mean.

It supposed to me MMO, the idea with peace time is genius for ppl like me. I can sleep without beeing afraid of offline raiding like it is in ARK. Altho even if you will lose Island there is plenty new Islands you can take. Earning gold isnt hard so if you play like 3/4 hours a day you can easly keep your island. The problem is when you rly have trouble with greefers or real raiders, using bear with canon makes you that feel that all your effort was meaning totally zero. They just run with bear and shot all defence or with flames, it doesnt matter how much NPC you have, only matters if you ar eonline at this time and even if you 50 npc on defenceand you  play solo AND  there is like 10 ppl atacking you . You will not stand more than 1 hour (30 minutes + on puting Canon on island by enemy and 30 minutes shoting and raiding). Its just TOOOO EASY TO RAID. Defence doesnt matter, it should be stronger. Its to easy to raid.

Next thing immersion, where are those crowded freeports, where is that awasome trading or co-op with other players. For now you only build ships, gather res, breed animals and fight. Is just the same as ARK, it supposed to be MMO right ? So if i have some great BP for shipyards i cant sell them cause....its doesnt actually matter now. All ppl can have some in time , biggest Company had those in 1 week. What i mean BP arent so rare how they shopuld be. If BP are rare or they drop only in specific sectors it means better co-op cause than trading have sens, there is to much BP and they arent rare enough. No trading, no immersion, empty freeports. At least give more NPC there....

I want to visit freeport, go to Tavern drink beer with other Company, met new ppl. Enter to shop not only NPC. I want to enter shop and buy some goods. Where is it all ? Where is that immersion ? Yea i know its PvP game but hay, why we cant have more immersion ? Less freeports will make you force to travel, so more ppl will gather there and make some trading. Or tell stories how they were raiding other, why we cant met in peace zone and do it. Just build and fight build and fight....

How about some UI with trading window ? So we can check where we can find specific BP or who is selling what? What the point of putting trading shop now. There is none.

You add Islands, new features and content but there is ZERO immersion in this game. Pls change it.

Loyal player of ATLAS/Uganda  

Agree it have to be done smth about it, its super easy to raid with 1 bear and cart with canon.... whats the point to put Puckle if its almost toally useless

Agree combat phase should be shorter, more time to do other staffs for now it is all non stop preparation to defend island. PPl chosenone state combat of Island when they go sleep so when they go online it is combat phase, small groups are preparing to defend or battle at this time so they cant do other staffs like quests.

It has to be within 24 hours.

Yes i know and still i was not able to destroy/demolish other structures. Do i had to put flag near other buildings ? It was unclaimed island.

Claiming and destroying doesnt work, i claimed island and i coudlnt destroy other buildings.

Claim it, destroy his stuff, then drop the claim?

I had the same problem. I have put some defence tower and i was sure my NPC get gold from box but next day i lost 5 NPC cause they were to far. I dont know where the range is, where it end and i have to put 20 boxes for NPC just to make sure and run over and check the gold evry day. Its rly not fun.  Even thoe i put on 0 key gold and tried to pay those lost NPC gold tog et them back and they just litteraly took 5 times gold and i still didnt get them tamed again. I just lof like 300 gold to them and didnt get them back. Its seems like this option is bugged.

Altho i think flag Claim Circle is to big, and enemy can put Flag on hills (i mean hilly side oh hills) , i cant reach defence on that zones. If this cricle would be x2 smaller than its easier to defend. Im not talking that defending should be very easy but this circle is to big .

May i suggest to add smaller circle Flag to Claim . If you play like most of us in a smaller group with less time to play it is easier to defend smaller circle than this big one. Altho we should not be able to put Flag on rocks or hilly terrain, if you have Flag on ground and behind you is Hill, enemy can place Flag on it and easly claim your Island without starting to fight with defence. That is why i suggest to have smaller circle Flag. Fighting for Island or trying to raid base should be harder than just put flag far away from defence on hilly terrain and wait....

Thank you cause little Companies cant make progress without it. 

No it didnt fix the problem

Even if not there should be an option to get water there. Desert sectors have the same problem  i know that desert is like that - without rain. But there have to be an option for areas to get water where is is not raining, we cant farm crops.

The worst is farming there, it shuld be hard but not impossible.

Quote

if in desert do the devs not know that cold night and hot days = condensation , do they not think that desert dwellers would set up condensation traps ?, to at least have a bit of water

Thats a good opton , i imagine it is not hard to implement it by devs. Would be nice to have it ASAP.

There should be something done about it, im at Desert also and we dont have water. I know it should be that way but hey...there should be an option to get some. Not manually its frustrating. A lot of ppl have this problem. There is an idea on forum in suggestion abut special wells , give us one, make it harder to construct but at least give us something to deal with NO WATER for plants.

Yes yes pls ! Awasome idea
