The 30% move speed with no wind at your sails just ruins sailing and removes any realism the game had. Yes, it was a total pain when you want to go in the wrong direction of the wind and you had to sail in a zig-zag pattern to get to where you wanted to go. But that's part of sailing. If people don't like it then this is the wrong game for them. I could see changing it to like 5% so you are never dead in the water but also hardly moving but 30% is WAY to fast. You have already nerfed the threat of pretty much everything else in the water. You are dumbing down the game way too much. If you want to make sailing easier just make the wind change direction more often as this is a much more realistic fix. But sailing against the wind with your sails concave in the wrong direction and still moving fast just kills any immersion the game had.

So this has to be one of the most depressing communities i have ever been part of, literally most of people who comment on posts here are just whining and complaining, every Positive post about the game gets bashed, every New comer gets neglected and told to not buy the game, every update patch notes gets a meh and more whining like seriously what the hell is wrong with these people? the game had a rough launch we get it but if you don't like it then no one is forcing you to stick to it and if you don't play it no need to sh!t on it and move on go play something else, why would you waste your time here if you just gonna be a negative c*nt who does nothing but put new players off? and my god let's just not talk about r/PlayAtlas everyone there is a d!ickhead they literally do nothing but whine and sh!t on everyone who says anything good about the game like they do nothing else with their time. ARK launched in worse state compared to ATLAS back then and it manged to pull though and now it's one of the most played Steam game of all time, but we are not giving ATLAS any chance other than complaining, i know the devs have been slacking due to Genesis DLC but there is no reason to put off new comers nor whine about it, The most complain i heard was "it's ARK 2.0" like is that even an insult? what is wrong with ARK? i love ARK i have over 2k hours and i have and still enjoy every moment of it, yes i have ran into bugs but it's not common at all and every patch has a lot of bug fixes in it, most people who complain have potato PC. Every Developer Re-uses their Assets in their future games i mean literally every game does this it's nothing new, Path of Exile devs had an entire Hour dev talk about how Devs should save time by re-using Assets in order to focus on making the game better than just re-create everything which will take years and years! why create a new asset when you have already made one which took you years and ready to go with some tweaks? ATLAS has a better foundation than ARK had in Early Access. if you want your voice heard DISCUSS not complain, if you want bugs fixed report them, send a ticket but keep in mind it's an EARLY ACCESS game and you know what that means it means it's in its testing phase it's not complete and it needs a lot of work i agree but not when there is a lot of negativity that may destroy the wills of the devs, Jesus even the community mangers gets bashed to oblivion. in the end i just hope to see less negativity and more positivity in this community, less whining more helping new players instead of telling them to go away, i have seen people ask for help on certain topics and never got any response for weeks heck even months but when there is a whining post everyone jumps in. i really want this game to evolve as ARK did, i want them to work on the Road Map, add more content fix the bugs, optimize the game yet i don't whine i just discuss them instead but at this rate i don't think it would come out of Early Access with that much Negativity surrounding the game and it's community. So please i don't want ATLAS to die as Dark and Light did, let us discuss and have fun i'm tired of seeing negativity in on every, comment, post, video, if you don't like it go play something else and let us enjoy it, hope you all have a nice day/night. PS: this is mostly targeted towards the community and not the game or the devs, i know the game has not seen any major updates for a while now and most people think the devs have abandoned the game but that's whole different topic and i will not touch on that here.

wrong answer wrong answer Why even bother replying when you have the wrong answer? You're wasting everybody's time.

They have not gone on record saying anything about this being a PvE focus change yet.... I truly hope it is BUT I have been around long enough to not jump to any conclusion. The only thing they said was a "Monumental new Adventure Begins"... Sea of Thieves did just that with a big Pirates of the Caribbean crossover/tie-in adventure and nothing about that game has changed to a PvE focus. I wouldn't believe they have changed their minds or direction at all.... the poor quality modular ships are still being churned out and there is, very sadly, no communication at all to prove they are really listening to the community or bothering to change the course they have already clearly stated. I honestly hope I am wrong. Atlas has the greatest potential of any sandbox I have ever played. It feels really bad to see all the potential just being pissed away. Still I will wait, watch and try what they release till it truly sinks to bottom of the seas...

@SeroJSorry if i upset you. I played roughly 200 hrs before the wipe on pvp. After the wipe had maybe 50 on pvp both official and private, and another 100 on pve. Take it or leave it. Don't get me wrong, i like the game. I'm just not ok with how bugs or misconcepts are dealt with by the devs. I might also have a completely different approach and understanding of respect and communication than most contributors in this forum. I feel insulted by your use of language. I might be wrong in your opinion. However it's how i feel about the issue. My char was literally dying by cold with unusable fur coat in hand, standing in an enclosed cabin on a ship with a grill blazing and the temperature still at -8°C, while the crew mounting guns n sails sat happily around in their underwear watching the icebergs float by. Made me feel dumb. I played rpgs for roughly 30 years now. Starting with DSA, ad&d, shadowrun, stormbringer,elric on paper. Ultima1-9,UO, baldurs gate, neverwinter and a countless number of others. I know that no sane mage would EQUIP plate. But he would WEAR it to survive cold if GM allowed and agreed. And just because its a gear granting special abilities its still a coatlike garment. Like it or not. You may of course question my credibility, you may not, however, insult me. I did not lie. I just told you something that you don't agree with. That is all.

90 PLAYERS ALL OVER EU SERVER, YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG, FIXING THIS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE VERY DIFFICULT, NO? AND IF IT IS EARLY ACCESS BUT HERE SOMETHING IS FAILED

Wrong! If they were listening, they would have turned off the ships of the damned as soon as the first reports came in. But that brings up the issue of how stupid the devs are that the ships of the damned would be anything but a rare occurrence. Does it take a rocket scientist to know that having that many ships of doom would be a bad idea? Any idiot should have know that MY Brigantine could not compete with those monsters...even one of them, let alone seven of them, before I even had a chance to get gold to buy a crew to man the cannons, which brings up the point that I don't even believe you would have enough ammo on the ship to deal with one of those. They had about 40K health. I had 6 large cannon on the top deck, 6 medium on the lower deck, and 6 swivel cannons. Each set had 40 ammo. This caused the ship to be fairly heavy, and sluggish. I do not believe that would be enough to deal with those ships of doom, and yet they put so many of them out that that anyone can believe this was a deliberate soft wipe, which is wrong, and so wrong they would never admit to it. So what is it, dishonesty, or stupidity? Soft wipe, or a clueless decision? And THEY are still there. While reduced, still too many. Like WTF are they thinking?

For me this game has ended. I deinstalled it the second time... should be the last time so. It is great fun to discover... but still shooners costs gold which is a no go for me. A Sloop is meaned for the first 1-2 days and than it's simply not needed anymore. Some still love the game and play it. Farm and grind their base, the gold for ships, spend ridicoulos time on hunting SotD and Treasue Maps for BPs etc. to have one ship for PvP. Still barrels everywhere and so on. No blancing of BPs as i suggested several times. 350% damage cannons with the increased level 60 ships it's hilarious. Most mid tier BPs are totaly worthless due to the high spread of mystic. I had too many negative points to play it further. It's too much hardcore for me playing PvP even in a large and profesional company with thousands of hours expirience of every player. You build up 1-2 month but you are never safe... have to be online daily with no break, griefing everywhere with toxic Players abusing bugs etc. Red = Dead no matter what. Ship combat is to expensive and way to much land griefing is possible. I suggested to reduce the island heights, instead they lowered the building height for structures, puckles etc. and gave us the spider to climb the mountains or a mortar ships to shoot bases on top, lol. Yes the People you play with make this game great. You find new once and build great teams from scratch. But once you hit the wrong toxic kid you are screwed by their stupidity. Fight fair 10 vs 10 company on see and win? Guess the enemy calls their mega friend in to wipe your base with 20 cannon horses. This game is great for playing and discover for >2000hours but the frustration level is also very high. For me this is the most important point to quit. But the game will be dead because of the Devs way. Nobody is seeing any positive aspect on the modular ships. Yes it's EA and everbody playing is Alpha/Beta tester and know it. Some will keep testing and give feedback on reddit, discord or any of this bull shit plattforms the Devs can't get good information from, but just get spammed.(My opinion) Maybe they will go on like this for another 2 years adding ship after ship and trade after trade, re arange the map layout etc. and finally call it finished. I don't believe this will happen. They abandone nearly everything they add "new" and don't fix or improve it. See the new ship... a longer shooner with 20/20 cannons not balanced with weight and sails most likely. Most Brigs drive around with 3/4 cannons due to the speed meta... what is this ship? Long, but small width... lower truning rate than worse kraken(shooner) close to a gally... but you may can place 8 catapults modular on the deck? Just for the funs? I'm done with Atlas.

Hey dumbass the only dumb cunt was the one the gave birth to you. FYI you fuck up the first team of Dev's got fired you really are the one that brings a knife to a guy fight. Did you forget to take your medication. Do people a favor smack your mother fir swallowing the wrong child.

See, I disagree. You're not wrong about the game having it's issues, but the devs gave me a game that I played more than any other game in my entire life. I'm reinstalling the game right now, going to try and get some of my old buddies back on. Hopefully one day they'll invest more into its development. I heard they added seasons which was something I always thought would be a great idea. Wipe every 3-4 months and have a new theme for each season. Maybe make things a little less grindy and require less time investment for people with jobs. I think that could reignite some interest. I would say market the seasons as a feature - I always love it when everyone starts with a blank slate. Either way, I've always loved this game.

Hello Developers, designers and all others on this project, Please look at this image with an open mind and heart then ask yourself what is wrong here. You are creating content that continues to generate mostly negative feedback and your communication with the community has all but shut down. I recall the ARK early access period. It was exciting and fun with all the new things that, for the most part, made the game better and I still play ARK to this very day! I strongly feel this pure pvp focus and the forced generic ship design are destroying any potential this game has/had. Please consider resetting your course and do what you have done before. Make an amazing game for all to enjoy! Thank you and much love. I really want to see you and this game succeed!

Other Threads: Majestic Kraken. Mortar Ship. I just wanna double all I've gathered about this Ramming Galley ship. I really wanna make sure DEVs reads this. But before I go - I just wanna say to every players, who read this message. DO NOT BUY RAMMING GALLEY. Until they fix all issues and add all required features. Right now it just very RAW and BROKEN. So... But if you consider to buy it, I would say this ship has: +++ + Nose large cannons, pointing forward. + Oars and Rowing. Allow you to get +4 knots every 30 sec. (Except tradewinds). + Good handling full speed. You can avoid damned ships even in tradewind. - - - - 75 rhino horns. Wasting hours doing rhinocide. - (fixed with new shipyard) Sailing to the shop with 80% loaded sloop (for solo players). - Lack of customization (I couldn't find a spot for wardrums so they wouldn't block the way). - Bad low speed handling. - Difficult to maintain. Repairs with patches takes forever. Not repairable in battle. You should manually search for leaking parts. - Extremely expensive in maintenance. You need to gather more thatches/wood/fiber than it required to build a Brig, every time you wanna go hunting. - Sinking VERY FAST. Even with points in sturdiness and all in captaining. - No ramming damage to Damned Ships. - Raw design and broken features. * * * (raw design) * No snap points for ladder on the board side. Emergency stern ladder is your only option to come aboard. * Some unpaintable parts. Disappearing custom paint. * No leaking icons. * New HP icon shows random numbers. * Scales and visual model are not matching each other. * You can not put patch kit in resource box and use it from there. * Crew repairing damaged parts using resources in box while anchored. But you newer know how many you need. * Front zone has only 15K hp, while Brig's same zone has 4x6k planks 40k deck and 10x5k ceilings. / / / (broken features) / Crew dismount sails every time you cross the grid. / Junk sails are totally broken and doesn't work and looks well here. Design and customisation. It's now paintable, and it made very well, except couple of unpaintable parts in front castle, 3rd region. But after I sailed for some time my both main and low decks and also some railings lost their paint. When I hit those parts with brush - it showed It painted. Junk sails cosmetic doesn't work well here. If you put large junk sail on the deck, it'll add invisible mast down to your hold: Some cables have wrong spots attachment to the ship. Crew manning those junk sails in weird spots: Also addition snap points to rope ladders would be gr8. No one likes this emergency stern ladder: I also kept hitting my pier from pretty far from it. So physical model of this ship is wider than visual one. Broken control issues. (This one FIXED) Right now control is totally broken. Crew don't follow you on ship deck. In Ramming Galley they wanna reach steering wheel on stern. When they manning sails station, they keep randomly dismount. After they do - you still able to control sails from steering wheel. But ship freezes in the state it was before glitch appeared. So no matter how you rise and low your sails, no matter how you rotate your sail, no mater what navigation menu shows - ship will think sails on the same position they were right before glitch. Meaning it continue to move with totally lowed sails. If you press "S" it stops, but when you dismount steering wheel, it start to move again. The only thing you can do is to whistle you crew to follow you, then manually rise and low both sails. Then you regain control. Battle issues. While I was fighting damned ships, half of my cannons suddenly stopped aiming and shooting. They just pointed down to the waters and didn't react to my controls. Crew were manning cannons this time. UPD: This happening when your cannon modules and front castle hit 0hp. Damage and repairs. In ships survey I wrote hell a lot about ship maintenance. And yet DEVs didn't do ANYTHING from here. I received some damage. Small icon in down right showed my ship's health around 50%. Then my ramming galley started to sink. I picked patches and went for maintenance. I upped ALL damaged parts I found to above 50% of health. But my ship continued to sink. Health icon showed my ship HP is above 78%... and it just sunk at this moment. GGWP. I couldn't find out what caused it. Before it sunk, I was running fast and did repairs to ALL PARTS I found damaged. But sinking speed was increasing every second. Even tho I have all in captaining and 140% of sturdiness it sunk 10 times faster than my BRIG usually does. So DEVs. You told in last QnA that... Before you go any further - you need to fix your broken bullsh...t first (sorry but I really upset right now, because I put so many efforts in this ship, 24K gold, 75 horns, all customization, and after that all I've got just suffering from broken controls, broken crews, raw ship design, and then I just lost my ship for unknow reason). It's just NO POINT TO INTRODUCE NEW FEATURES TO BROKEN UNPLAYABLE SHIPS. Before you go to all your modular updating, you need fix Ramming Galley. To do so you need at least: - Fix ship dimensions so it match visual model. - Fix paint so it wont randomly disappear. - Fix crew not following you (fixed), and randomly dismount their stations. - Fix crew position on junk sails, and junk sails cables graphic. - Fix invisible mast inside ship hold. - Fix sails control issues I wrote above. - Fix cannon crew not aiming and shooting (solved). There also need some improvement do be done: - Add snap points for rope ladders on board-sides. - Add "mount closest crew here" button to all stations on the ship (you should have done this one long ago). - Add "leaking" icons to damaged parts like there are now in old fashion ships. - Allow us to put patch-kit in to resource box, and use it from there. (UPD) You should greatly reduce cost of patches. Because now every time you wanna go to do some seas battles it requires same amount of wood/thatches/fiber as if you would build new BRIG. I repeat. EVERY TIME. Same as for BRIG. I'm not saying I can't afford this, but this ship is just not that good to bother THAT much. Only after all those fixes this ship will be something like playable (still need to be tested especially through leveling and high end content). Until then - it just BROKEN and I urge everyone to give up new ships until they fixed. p.s. - I so upset so I would demand my 22000 gold and 75 rhino horns back. But... I doubt we have this kind of player support in this game... unfortunately. p.p.s. - Really. just imagine my fight with damned ships. I do circles, speed up and slow down with totally lowed sails, can not stop my ship, half of my cannons aiming to the waters and don't shoot...

Previous thread was there. 01 - Screwed map. PVE server. H9 has 2 islands but only 1 discovery. I visited another island and eastern island has NO NAME (usually showed in top right corner). 02 - Where is Lawless? If you log in under admin account and check how things are goin on official PVE, you'll notice, there is NOT A SINGLE CLAIM TOWER placed all over the map. You know why? Because there is just NO LAWLESS GRID at all. We have some usual grids with island to claim. And more usual grids with island forbidden to claim. So... you should make some statement about that. If you did that to make players level and create towers before allowing everyone to claim spots... Or if you mess this one out and gonna fix this, by turning grids to lawless by fixes... ...THEN YOU SHOUD ANOUNCE TIME OF TURNING GRIDS TO LAWLESS!!!!!! So every1 who woke up at 5am in Europe today to settle the spot wont lose everything to offline raiding. If you planed to get rid of lawless (which now is no difference from past time when those grids were called lawless), you also should make a statement about that! 03 - Farmhouse doesn't gather ANY RESOURCES anymore. I put my farm to lovely spot surrounded by rocks with metal and trees. And all I've got is just FIBER AND BERRIES. If you did this on purpose, then you made windmill useless crap in the game. Because it just hell expensive to build and gather only one resource for trading. 04 - Extended HUD shows wrong for some stones. It sows that EVERY stones has Stone, Flint, Metal and Geode. While some brings just Stone and Flint.

You know... I still feel that this Atlas being developed on leftover basis. It's like they have around 35 ppl overall in company, they do ARK-II, they work enthusiastically there. And then, once in 1-2 days, one or two developers open Atlas project and do something there within couple of hours. I was 3D developer long ago, I was creating Russian trains for TainZ game in 3D studio Max, and It took me the same time to introduce my new projects, as they do this modular ships. I was working alone and using my free time, after university and some homework. It's not DEVs bad, or something. It's just they don't wanna to. They do more interesting and more important projects. Atlas is more like burden project for them. They don't have time to love it, to feel excited about it, to share their feelings. Even each patch notes - they are ve-e-e-ery formal with copy-paste text like: Again, we would like to emphasize that ATLAS is still in Early Access, and will be there for next 10-15 years... I mean I would be glad if I wrong here, I just saying my feelings.

Ive been told conflicting things on how to mate them. internet says mountain peaks, other people say its not needed. Im in western temperate area, but they will not mate.. i get no icons telling me too cold, too hot, wrong biome.. nothing. Just ready to mate. but they dont actually mate. 1 male 3 female crammed into a box, all on wander.. temp stays between 10-21c.. with added campfires in their box. do they really need a mountain top? Is the temp wrong on the wiki? whats throwing me off is im getting no icons above theie names. Any help would be appreciated.. need someone with recent experience who can point me in the right direction

found the problem, but now a new one. what am i doing wrong, server is running fine but i don't see a map

Started playing on Blackwood and started a base on Freeport and along comes a lv 195 Alpha tiger, how the heck is someone meant to deal with Alphas when your just starting out lol, it was even at the traders docks at Freeport. And this is the default lv lol, eventually build a trap after getting killed A LOT and we killed it but dealing with alphas when your lv 8 is nuts lol, I thought Freeport around the merchants would be like a safe zone but was I wrong lol

No. They will announce when the update is coming and what time you can download the update. You won’t be able to join until you are finished downloading which is usually a pretty big file. The fastest internet wins. that is also if they don’t crash the game with the new update and people have to wait a couple days to play which has happened. If that happens they will give you multiple times about when the servers will be back up but they usually get that wrong as well. Plus once it is finally up you will be fast asleep. Happens to people all the time. make sure not to take vacation for it because that is always the most stupid thing anyone can do with these guys. Lots of wasted vacation have happened for some people. I wouldn’t bother trying to be first on because it almost never happens

Bite me So. You say there is a way, but fail to provide any evidence that this claim was true. You are literally full of shit. I could totally prove it to you right here and now, but i can't be bothered and it should be obvious for everyone to see. Don't worry, because i actually don't complain that they are able to fight back. As long as i am in the vicinity, they obviously can, and should. But if i manage to escape without being detected, the game should probably not tell them who did it. Right. Because fairness obviously has no place in a game. I would also complain if a sports team were allowed to have 10 times as many players on the field as their opponent. Also, why do you insist on letting teams of 50 people compete vs soloists in the first place? Why do you need to boost your tiny, fragile ego by partaking in an activity where the outcome is already decided from the very beginning, by you being 50 people beating up a single person? Would you find it equally as fun if you were on the other side? There is nothing wrong with asymmetric PvP, but you can do it correctly (as in Eve online for example) or you can do it in a profoundly stupid way, such as in Atlas. I'm far ahead of you and stopped playing this utter piece of garbage months ago. Also, this bunch of idiots company won't ever see another cent from me. I bought a game. Admittedly a game in EA, but still. Instead i got a piece of shit. Either that, or there is another reason why players are deeply unsatisfied with this game. Probably because they agree that the balance is complete bollocks. You seem to be undere the woefully wrong impression that "punishment" in this regard was a bad thing. You probably assume that whoever gets "punished" in this way is meant to lose. In reality, this is not true. Being "punished" only means that you don't get a default win handed to you just because you brought 2 people more than your opponent. Think "diminishing returns", instead of "the bigger one must die". I do not ask for drawbacks for companies larger than *MINE*! I ask for company size to not be the single most important factor in deciding the outcome of any conflict. I ask for diminishing returns, which is a concept that is completely absent from this game. The way things are right now, it is only "more fair", to use your retarded way of putting it, for YOU. Which you regard as being totally better than being more fair for anyone else. I get it. You're the one who profits most from the status quo. How dare anyone demand a change? And i once did care for the game. But not often have i been as deeply disappointed by anything as i've been by this game.

Visited N1 and found my first penguins. After watching some Utube videos I set out and tamed 4 of them. 1 male and 3 females. Took them home to N8. Tossed them into a small room and put them on "wander". Got the message that said "wrong biome". So back to the internet. Wiki says breeding can only be done in polar regions. Back to N1 with my penguins. I build a little outpost in N1. Put in the penguins and set them to wander. Once again I get the message "Wrong biome". I give up. Is this just broken or something else I should be doing...

I have been wondering how the experience is in PVE servers and why you play them, aside from the default,.. don't like pvp etc.. . What is the economy like? What experiences have you had on official servers? Trading? What to do with the excess gold you have without needing to man cannon towers and mortar towers? How is the overall community, welcoming, trash talking? Is there ever accepted war declarations?? (this is one im most interested in, as it could be very interesting if 2 companies come together and fight within a set ruleset, maybe for contested land claims, other RP reasons) Just interested to see what its like on the other side i guess, and maybe one day 10.0.0.0.1 have a gander over there to experience some of it myself The main reason why I personally see they not to be as fun, as there is no risk.. A small force from our company took 2 ships 192.168.1.254 out down south to do some whaling, (1 whaling schooner, 1 armoured brig to deal with SOTD and ward of any aggression) it was sucessful, but coming back we had reports of hostile activity within our home grid, so we had to plan a route to get home, that would not take us straight into the fray, and get round the hostilities and keep our gold safe.... I could be wrong with there being more risk, but thats the biggest off putter for me right now so would love to know your experiences

Mate most of us have been saying it for years They won't do it though, I don't think they are capable of doing it. All they know is Ark coding because that's what it's based off which was the wrong move before they even started making the game. I do miss Atlas but I would never play it in it's current form, if they changed it I would be back like a shot just like the majority who has already left. It's either join a large company or suffer and play alone, no thank you.

you completely missed the point. oh and an animal is fed from the mouth unless is atlas ofc in wich case you have to feer from behind the ear, so yeah its the wrong side, this game asks you to feed a elephant from the wrong side.

lmao never seen something so pathetic if you don't have a brain to build a defended port before you go investing in big ships its your own fault it only takes 1hr or 2 to build a little puckle tower on shore next to your boat don't invest in offensive war ships before you have a foot hold on a island its simple if you keep failing its the way you play I think its fine the way they got it most of the time people do things in the wrong order land base/port before you go building 8hr plus ships simple your going about it the wrong way lmfao if you want offline protection go play pve or better yet go back to ark and play your boosted servers with offline protection and a admin that can have a melt down go on a power trip and talk trash to anyone who views it any different to him defences before offensive simple enough said

+1 The most annoying bug yet. I keep hitting the wrong hot bar number, because I don't usually have a map on it, and bam crash to desktop. Follow by a long wait getting back in. Was freezing. So jump off my bear and quickly build some campfires. Put them down, bam wrong button.... back to desktop... FYI if you go to your inventory and hover over the maps on your hotbar A slightly bigger version appears and you can find your way to the treasures that way.
