How can players demolish the structures of others in pve? Stealing the trunks on the ship is fine ... but inside the house, it's absurd. demolished my ship base construction. if I wanted to be rationed I would play on the pvp server. even my chests with passwords, 2 guys came and stole everything. and destroyed my ship under construction. This is unacceptable, I can not even retaliate since I am in PVE !!! and this should not happen.

I was reading reports that the flag system is not working (e.g. the 3 day timer is not always working). I heard rumor that only old flags (placed earlier) are not working. Is there any confirmed news about this? Also I would like to have an option, where I could config the timer to 7 days for example. Is there an option available yet?

It's impossible for me to claim back a stolen flag on my base due to the timer that's going in reverse. As you can see the timer is at -95270 seconds and 1 sec later it's -95271

Music should be a big thing in a pirate game, I was glad when i saw that there were instruments but I was disappointed when I realised you needed ¨ammo¨ to play it. The fact that you can find music notes around is fine, but the fact that they expire after ONE use is not okay in my opinion. My suggestion would be to either: -Make the notes last forever -Make the notes last x amount of times -Make a generic song that can be played even without notes -Be able to make music notes Good sailing!

Me and my friends decided to change to the pve server and they could connect no problem, not the same with me, I can't join, it always shows "lost connection with host" message. Is there anything I can do?

The Condemned RP-PVE [NA][Private Server][3x3 90slot][Heavy Text RP][18+Mature] "A lot of the old seadogs say that once, we all lived up there, in the sky. That the land itself soared over the seas and that none knew the sting of hunger, or had to fear the chains of the Army of the Damned. The old buggers say, that maybe those days aren't behind us, that the machines and magic is down there now, in the depths. Who knows, if they're still down there? Still, it's probably best to get your sword arm strong, and aim on point if you want to live long enough to find out." A great many ages have passed since the Calamity, the end of the Golden Age. The lands that once filled the sky, now dot the sea as various islands. The technology of old has long been forgotten, and where once mighty nations united to bring about the greatest age, society has collapsed into one of feuding warlords, and coastal city states, it is now an age of terror - where demons and undead seek to claim one's body and soul. - an age of lawlessness and chaos, where piracy and brigands roam the seas. While this is the state of the world, for some reason, this particular area of the world has become walled off by the very sea herself, a peculiar sight - but one best left alone. WIP OOC: The Condemned RP-PVE is a TEXT based Heavy RP server. Currently, we are seeking only mature and experienced RPers to join our ranks. * Two Admin-backed Factions, one of law, order, tyranny, and the other of chaos, crime, and violence. Though one does not have to join these two, or any for that matter, being a solo hermit is discouraged. * 2x Gathering/Increased Taming. * Longer Days/Nights . * Random RP/Structured RP events. * Mature and violent themes. * PVP Events will be centered around RP, making PVP an RP driven experience that will be designed more for narrative purposes and fun, rather than the stress filled nature of open server PVP. Currently, in the early days of Early Access, we are mostly tuning/gathering ideas and waiting for the ability to cluster servers and use custom maps. Please understand, wipes are going to happen, frequently, in these early days of EA. Interested?

Greetings. I would like to ask the dev team to consider looking into the following things, when it comes to the PvE servers: -Land claim. People just spam the flags all over the island AND the sea.... Its impossible to find an unclaimed spot. They dont even build anything, just place flags and leave. -Random trolls jumping onto your ship, trying to sink it, or just being annoying and you cant do anything about it. -Not being able to lock crafting stations/campfires -Somehow, our ship sank during the night, while we were offline, in the middle of the ocean -People can lure wild animals to attack you, while you are offline -It also would be really cool if you guys worked on the chat a bit. For example, added a few tabs such as ''local'' which would work within a certain radius and a ''clan'' tab. It would also be nice if you let us customize the chat, for example change its position, font, size, etc etc. I would be grateful if you guys did something about it! Thanks in advance

If you have played this game you probably understand why this game needs region lock. Please for everything keeping our sanity in tact, please region lock the game. I being from the US should not be playing on the EU server and shadow raiding everyone's everything while they are sleeping, just like they shouldn't be doing it on the NA server. North America is the following: Bermuda Canada Caribbean Central America Mexico United States & a small portion of Greenland so throw them in there too. It is not: Russia China Great Britain Germany, etc.

I know the start of this "Early Release game" was a rough one for many even if you are an experienced ARK player. But all of that aside once you get through the 5 or 6 rafts you lost to game attrition or server problems. You finally make it out of port and on your way. Only to sail for hours and hours and see nothing but red from the hordes of large companies and their land grabbing. The concept is cool, but PVE is not PVP and building more permanent homes is something of a must. That being said if you cant lay down roots what is the point of playing and sailing to yet another island only to find 656 Sloops and all red claims yet again!!!!!!!!!!!! Please fix this glaring issue.

On the PVE realm there is a bug with claiming. When you are contesting a claim of some one that has been offline long enough, and someone comes in to contest it as well it increasing your current timer to claim. My company had finally found a spot, and we were 15 minutes away from claiming. Some one came in and continually try to contest and stop contesting. It took the timer from 15 minutes right back up to an hour and 30. This is a great way to grief players on PVE.

First off, great job stabilizing the servers; Game looks beautiful and is running well, so thanks. I'm enjoying the game, but there is a glaring problem, extremely few sources of fresh water. I know we can dig for waterspouts to top off, but it is tedious and never lasts long. In addition, we can't use water spouts to irrigate crops (or fill waterskins?) making creating a home impossible if you don't snatch up a freshwater source, which by now there probably aren't many free ones thanks to mega companies. Rain collecting could be an answer if it ever rained. I've played for 29 hours now (granted a significant portion was battling the rough start of the game) and I've seen it rain once. I imagine the goal was to get people to focus on island hopping, and making water a valued resource fought over in PvP, but as it stands on a PvE server, the fresh water situation makes the grandiose map irrelevant since most of the islands are unlivable, shrinking viable play space to a fraction of what it looks like. I really like the game, and building my first ship with a friend was an amazing feeling, but now that we've gotten over that first hurdle, we're basically hitting a wall. I know the devs are up to their eyeballs in salt water (heh) from trying to get the servers working and assisting players with struggles (good job stepping up after the initial fiasco), but when you get around to making in-game changes, I'd really like to see this on the list, at least for PvE servers. I don't like pointing out problems without proposed solutions, so if any devs are reading this, I came up with a few vague ideas below. Water purification system (must be in sunlight | byproduct is salt | must be emptied regularly) 'paint' additional water sources on islands, particularly large ones that lack fresh water entirely Craftable wells (game implies a water table with the waterspouts as is, so why not tap into it with a well) that provide large amounts of water that drain/replenish over time Some kind of animal/plant that produces/purifies water (there are already dragons in the game so why not something mystical like that) 'Bear Grylls it' by purifying pirate 'liquid waste' If there actually is fresh water on most islands and folks are as blind as bats, craftable water diviners to help us find it Increase the frequency of rain NPC ports that sell barrels of fresh water for some kind of vaguely rare resource (fish meat *lol* | snake scales cause they can be dangerous) Cut into some of the massive mountains and make caves with underground lakes If other players are experiencing something similar please leave a comment to let the devs know its not an isolated thought. If I'm totally off-base and missing something, please let me know! And to any devs actually reading this post, keep calm and sail on, you're doing good and thanks for your hard work.

Hey guys, we are looking fore someone to design a logo for us in exchange for a steamkey for Atlas! Pls respond with some of your previous work. Greetings Hado www.twitch.tv/hadovebeap

We have a group of like 6 people who are looking to join a relatively new server where people have not just placed flags everywhere to claim land they're never going to build on. You can PM me if you like with your server name info please. Thanks!

Hi All Please can the Contesting times for claiming Territory be changed to 24 hours when someone is asleep in the zone and 6 hours when not. At least on the PvE server any thoughts? Thanks

I can't join the server : " Unable to fetch current server info to join! ".

The North Pole company will have goodies from the frozen biomes, as well as resources gained from diving soon. Will keep this updated as the game stabilizes and we get situated.
