gameplay Seme Ideas for the DEVS collected by Players
Efariam posted a topic in Feedback and Suggestions
Greetings I am currently playing ATLAS on the official EU PVE Server and would like to give some feedback and ideas based on the experiences I had so far: PVP on PVE I would like to see some way to toggle on PVP on PVE servers (for example to spar with some friends or to allow alliances voluntarily fight against each other). My idea here would be some sort of PVP flag, so that players (or ships) could toggle PVP on, allowing other players or ships to attack them if they have PVP toggled on as well. The change to “PVP on” could have some delay (like 5 minutes) so if a second player decides to engage the first player, the first player can see that PVP flag and ready himself for the fight. For ships, a separate toggle could be made or the PVP status could be set by the last player that has touched / is touching the helm. In order to prevent spamming, players that have “declared to be in PVP” should only be able to turn it back off again after some time or after engaging in a fight (like 10 minutes or so) and also not lose their status immediately after death, in order to allow the other players to actually fight and possibly even looting them. Obviously, if a player has PVP on and a player without PVP hits him accidentally, nothing should happen, so players don’t toggle on (for example when for farming) and can’t be baited into a fight by another player involuntarily. Alliance System It would be great if players could set ranks and permission for other alliance members, so that for example doors or containers could be accessed by freely. Right now, the only benefit is having other alliance members highlighted. Owned Markets or Warehouses I would like to see some sort of company-, alliance- or player-owned markets or warehouses where we can create orders (like “want to buy 10 X for Y” or “want to sell 30 N for M”) to allow some (unattended) trading with other players. I am not speaking of a global auction house, but more something along the line of a local shop or trading post. NPC Pirate Ships The amount and the strength of damned ships feel unbalanced and their appearance somewhat out of place during daylight. It would be great if the damned ships could be confined to night-time and regular NPC pirate-ships could take their place during the daylight instead, also allowing them to be balanced individually in strength and numbers. Underwater Weapons I would love to see some more underwater weapons, like a harpoon or allowing certain melee weapons, so I can defend myself better under water. I guess, that’s all for the time being. I hope that my inputs help to improve this game and would be delighted to hear back from you. Thanks & Best regards - “Efariam Hawkeye” -
So at the currect game state underwater salvage is a big gamble. You either get no underwater mods and its fairly easy but this is rare. Most cases you go down with no armor due to diving suit taking it all off and have to deal with multiple underwater mobs (Sharks, jellyfish, Eels)All making it nearly impossible to do underwater salvage. Your best offensive option currently is a bow but even with 30% damage increase with the strongarm perk you have to shoot about 20-30 arrows to take out a single lower level jellyfish or shark making it good for about two mobs if you dont miss(due to bows breaking after 40 shots) making them practically useless. What I am proposing is either two new weapons being either the Harpoon Gun which should do massive damage to underwater mods but not work at all on land, or the crossbow dealing more damage underwater than the standard bow and being more durable. Now both of these weapon are already in Ark so its a simple reskin and port to be done. Also having a better arrow type maybe some kind of underwater arrow that has no range on land but better range and damage underwater could be very usefull. My other proposal is a skill in the pirating skill (since most of the salvage skills are in their) that increase your damage against underwater mods by 30-50% and making you more damage resistant to underwater mobs while in the diving suit only (since you cant equiped any armor with the diving suit). Now all of these proposals being added to the game would make salvaging wrecks a lot more enjoyable and really have no negative impact on gameplay or PvP balancing. Plus everyone ive brought it up with in the official Atlas Discord has agreed with me. I hope whoever is reading this can also agree with me. Even just one of these changes being added would make a significant difference and all of them shouldnt be hard at all to implement into the game, especially a new skill. Thank you for reading and i hope you consider this, for all of us underwater salvages we will thank you!! Happy Sailing! P.S. Diving Platform having only 100 health is a joke with the resource cost. A small storage box has around 50× the amount of health, literally makes no sense. Please fix.

I thought the pike would be great for underwater fishing. If I roll my middle mouse button on land I do a forward stab. However, this doesn't happen underwater. I'd like to be able to stab underwater. I think stabbing forward with a pike makes more sense than slashing so if need be make the forward stab the left mouse button click or whatever just as long as it works underwater too. Thanks
