    ATLAS You all had it coming.

    ATLAS You all had it coming.


    You all had it coming.

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 03:39 AM PST

    I'm going to be blunt, it's absolutely hilarious watching so many people act surprised at the current events.

    Everything happening right now is the same bullshit cycle that happened in Ark.

    - Meshing? Check

    - Duping? Check

    - Aimbot, ESP and so forth? Check

    - Rollback so soon? Check

    - Abuse of admin power on official servers? Check

    - Will anything be done about it? No. Check

    - Devs don't know their own game and buff / nerf whatever the fuck they feel like? Check.

    - PvP completely unbalanced? Check.

    What are we missing? What will the future hold for Atlas? Let me tell you:

    - Meshing will never be fixed, same garbage foundation / code as Ark. It's impossible to fix *Edit*

    - Paid DLC during EA

    - Paid DLC before major core mechanics are fixed

    - Ping WILL NEVER be stable, it will always be a lagging rubber banding shitshow

    - A LOT of lies from the Devs.

    - Snail Games will and stay corrupt

    - Black Butterfly (TEA) will continue to run rampart on officials, because they are somehow tied to Snail Games. Wildcard & Grapeshot can't do shit about it.

    - Global server wipe on official release

    - Promises the game will be great and fixed by the time the Official release will happen. IT WILL NOT!.

    I'm sure I forgot a few things, but all you have to do is google about all the shit that happened in Ark and you will know what you can expect from Atlas. Just google "Ark reddit TEA" so you know exactly how untouchable Black Butterfly is (TEA was their tribe name in Ark).

    For all I know this is one massive social experiment to see how much shit a company can feed players until they actually quit. The only thing that surprises me is that all of this, even during Ark, never got any serious gaming media attention. The company is corrupt, officials are unplayable, everyone should be eligible for a refund no matter how many game hours. It's unethical and pathetic what is happening.

    You finally had enough of this shit? Go to the gaming media, Steam, whatever. Fight back.

    I'm super happy I jumped ship after the first Ark DLC, because I never had faith anything will be done and I was right. Downvote me all you want, I know the truth can hurt.

    DRAKES AND WHALES being Spawned again...

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 12:32 AM PST

    We just took our island back from Gucci gang Company here and now Drakes and Whales are spawning in here... #Streamerhouse Company https://clips.twitch.tv/SmilingPopularAntelopeFloof

    Well we killed the hacker spawned whale with guns and a cannon at least! lol https://www.twitch.tv/videos/366878832

    Typing in Server messages https://clips.twitch.tv/DeadWanderingSoymilkNotLikeThis

    Land whale https://clips.twitch.tv/CrypticHyperCoyoteBCouch

    Sub to pewdiepie server message: Black butterfly strikes again message (Dont think it was them) https://clips.twitch.tv/SaltyPoorYamChocolateRain

    FYI! I posted this about 5 mins after it starte, around 330AM Eastern APPROX

    3HR Rollback: So they rolled back to mid clearing of this base.. First sighting of the whale/drake spawns was 15 mins approx after we cleared their base, and first sighting/post was mine AT the exact location of the base. Will go through vod later to post more on that later... way to coincidental..

    IMO Avoid Gucci Gang company. They've been all over chat, spamming our discord, etc etc to top it off lol.

    Official note from Grapeshot: https://www.playatlas.com/index.php?/forums/topic/35988-emergency-maintenance-na-pvp-rollback

    830 AM EST AFTER ROLLBACK Gucci gang ended up with like 30 people online after the roll back. Most of us gave up and logged out. Llnk gets on and gets 1 shot through walls: https://clips.twitch.tv/SmallLuckyRaisinChefFrank not to mention the rest of the strange/questionable things happening during the stream/attack from them..

    I will say thank you to Jatheish and Dollie as soon as I pinged them and made the thread they got on it, sadly we're pretty convinced these guys from the Gucci Gang Company had something to do with it but I do thank Grapeshot for responding quick.

    How to kill your game! (easy)

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 01:26 AM PST

    -Have your ADMIN account/password/twig of power 'hacked' on a new and decent sized mmo.

    -Refuse to take any action against the clan, don't take any action against any dev(s) potenitally responsible for the issue, ban any mention of the issue and hope it goes away.

    -Reduce Elephant usefulness in hopes to enrage and distract everyone from the wal- the black butterfly issue.

    -Allow people to spawn dragons and roll back servers again (either intentional or gross negligence)...

    Also a fun note a year is 8760 hours.

    Rolling back 6 hours on 225 servers with lets say potentially 50 players on average (probably less), would be about 67,500 combined hours of playtime deleted. Combined 7.7 years of work deleted by players, but lets not do anything and just hope the problem goes away ;).

    "Every 50 in-game days the fountain relocates to a different Golden Age ruins" More like every 15 days. GG

    "Every 50 in-game days the fountain relocates to a different Golden Age ruins" More like every 15 days. GG

    How did you guys spend your Sunday? I spent two hours trying to get in the Powerstone cave on D12, only to be met with a severe lack of Fountain of Youth once we did get in. GG Grapeshot, thanks for forgetting to keep the fountain on the same island for 50 actual in-game days.

    Fountain of Youth: Lessons not learned from the launch of Atlas

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 04:29 PM PST

    Hello pathfinders and devs who might read this.

    I personally like the fountain of youth system, it really fits well into the pirate universe.

    But the elephant in the room is server performance. You saw on launch how stressed the servers get if many people are on them and esp if you have sleepers and/or corpses. You had to open lawless for spawns.

    So who thought that forcing all of those players that stayed with you from day one to travel to a single server was a good idea? You are forcing the whole 15x15 server grid into a single one, because -10% weight is just not something we can shrug off (I am personally ok with -10 health and stamina, not that urgent, but weight is already a pain if you are at 100%)

    So currently we have everyone rushing into a single zone with a lot of strong mobs, creating a lot of corpses and probably also putting some stress on the AI.

    The thing that you should have done instead:

    Show quest at age 90, get the debuff at 100. That way people would have had some time to prepare for their journey and it also doesn't force everyone to get to that power stone island ASAP.

    Ability to grab a sip of the fountain for our company members that might not have the time to travel across the map (just reduces their age by a couple days, so that they can delay the debuff until they have a bit more time, but don't get the buff)

    Edit:

    Looks like you increased the fountains to two available, that should improve performance (we will see the next time the zerg of the elderly marches).

    Also since you mentioned "early access" and all that on stream. "Early access" allows you to get feedback from players before you make a major change to the game like the FOY system. "Let's release it and see what will stick" can backfire a lot. Take a look at EvE Online for example, there is a whole group of players elected from the player base, that CCP uses to get feedback about planned features in very early development stages.

    Some of us really want this pirate game to become successful as much as you do and would be happy to prevent grevious errors like today.

    Reports of flying wales + dragons on streamerhouse's twitch.

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 01:03 AM PST

    Other streamers are wondering who's single steam account got "hacked" this time lol.

    The servers just got pulled down.

    ~~~

    Despite claims of "two other posts" there have been multiple reports on reddit alone. This post has video and a reply from Jat (saying the same thing stated on twitter).

    Na PVP needs to reset all ages

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 02:46 AM PST

    Since once again devs lost control of admin passwords, they need to give everyone a free age reset and buff. Most players I know ran in and fought hours of lag to reset. Simple enough to give anyone without the buff, the buff. Or just those 80 plus. Idc this is unreasonable, please get your shit together as a company.

    Solo taming

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 10:11 AM PST

    Any tips on solo taming without a pen since the patch? Seems with the HUD change I can't actually avoid getting hit when I try to feed.

    Please undo fire arrow changes... will settle for just having them be blue and more firey.

    3 hour roll-back on a weekend we were encouraged to do powerstones and tames. Great.

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 02:05 AM PST

    Right now, for our time (if we value it at all) we'd be better off to just put down ATLAS and come back at a later date. I'm sad. I want to love the game. There's so much potential, but... nope. How are these cheats even possible in the first place? Stop adding fountains of youth and other garbage and go make sure your devs are securing accounts and that this can't happen.

    Dragons are spawning everywhere on our tile. Admin Dollie can't de-spawn them fast enough.

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 01:05 AM PST

    Fountain was supposed to stay in the same location for 50 in game days right?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 06:59 AM PST

    As patch notes:

    - New "Fountain of Youth" quest will appear for characters aged 90 years and higher. The "Fountain of Youth" (currently represented as a magical particle effect) appears in a single Golden Age Ruins across the ATLAS, near the Power Stone Container. Every 50 in-game days, it teleports to another Golden Age Ruins, on a cycle.

    The event started at Day 800. Now we're at Day 821 and the fountain already change location 3 times.

    First spawn was o14, then c6, then d12, now everybody in the sector, while i try to navigate to the island in a powerpoint slide, are saying that is gone again.

    3 times gone in 21 in game days.

    What's going on? Anybody knows where's now?

    Would it be so bad to have a fountain of youth at every power stone isle, until the server lag gets sorted out?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 12:05 AM PST

    There was a lot of rubber banding, and SotD griefing going on, and it all just seems excessive, can we spread the load on the servers out?

    1000+ Companies on 150 max servers?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 11:26 AM PST

    I saw this on the dev Q&A and can't get it out of my head. I'm not interested in large scale PVP but a lot of people are and I feel the devs are setting themselves up for failure.

    You, or someone in your team, imagines these awesome large scale battles but just like Ark it's simply not possible. All you're going to do is create a wave of discontent as people try to join battles with their friends and are barred by server limits, and those that do join will experience the server being pushed to the max and struggling.

    Please, rethink how you are promoting the future of the game, even wasting your time by rewriting code to make larger companies a possibility, the game, the engine & the servers simply cannot handle it.

    Would be better spending your time devising interesting ways for smaller scale groups to PVP rather than dreaming of a scenario that is impossible.

    What if the fountain of youth is actually used to stress test new servers with better hardware?
