    ATLAS All Treasure Maps Should Send You To Lawless

    ATLAS All Treasure Maps Should Send You To Lawless


    All Treasure Maps Should Send You To Lawless

    Posted: 05 Mar 2019 07:47 AM PST

    Branching off from another discussion, this new system is going to do something pretty lame for PvP servers: treasure maps will frequently end up sending you to islands where PvP is disabled because it's outside of raid hours. Actually I guess it's even worse than that: you want this treasure, the island owners are invulnerable but they can still kill you and you can't defend yourself except to run away.

    Lame.

    I propose that in the new system, all treasure maps send you to lawless servers, where PvP will always be allowed. It will be a good reason for people to continue going to lawless areas, too, either to hunt treasure via maps or to hunt treasure via prying it out of your cold, dead hands.

    Increase the distance you can see ships while on top of mast

    Posted: 04 Mar 2019 09:03 PM PST

    Currently the only thing being on top of the sail masts does for you is increase the distance you can see flotsam. I think it would be cool if you could have somebody up there with a spyglass looking for ships which could help facilitate more ship v. ship battles on the seas.

    Betrayal, empires, and MAGA: Inside the brutality of Atlas

    Posted: 05 Mar 2019 10:11 AM PST

    Jat please can we have updated version of upcoming wipe patch? Because:

    Posted: 05 Mar 2019 12:22 PM PST

    I may have misinterpreted something but all the more reason to update it I hope. Some changes sound VERY.... not.... intuitive

    Company limit has been reduced to 250 members

    • An alliance now only contains a maximum of 4 companies
    • A company can only be in 2 different alliances at a time

    ---- incentive to put everyone that lives on the island into the same company since you want the ally slots for other allied island

    seems like the company limit is so big its just annoyance and will accomplish nothing

    //////

    • There will be a hard limit on the total number of claim flags per company. For example, 20. Numbers can be adjusted
      ---- so how many?
    • The upkeep cost will scale on the size of the island, the total number of claim flags a company has, and how many different companies/players are building on the island
    • ---- numbers please
    • There will be a timer on players before they receive the invulnerability status
    • ---- For some reason players will be invulnerable.... to protect them.... from offlining?... What? So if I want to do a treasure map on an unknown island I should ask nicely like a good pirate so the immortal people let me? :]
    • Settlement owners can freely damage other characters and structures on their island.
    • ---- So if I dont like someone on my island I can bully him because he cant do anything about it? Sounds nice
    • Only one war can be scheduled at once
    • ---- why? Its not like majority of companies will be 250/250. What if 2 smaller companies of 40 players want to attack a big 250/250? They should take turns? :]
    • There is a cooldown after a war has ended before another war could be declared on that island
    • ---- Why? It seems that when you want to schedule a war you have to pick a time 3-7 days. Your opponent can transfer all the good stuff elsewhere. You end up fighting over a barren rock.
    • Declaring war is per-island, so it is possible to declare war against multiple islands at the same time.
    • ---- So when I have 1 island and want to fight a bigger company they can simply transfer all their boats etc into the immortal zone? And I have to pay multiple tokens just so I have a chance? Because they are bigger?
    • Wars will last a fixed period of time
    • ---- How long?
    • When an island has been deemed warlike, building rules no longer apply. After the war has ended, the normal rules are enacted again
    • ---- So now my island turned into "enemy can come and build a mortar at 3am anywhere he wants because no territory flags? I assume war will be active 24/7 or whats the point otherwise?
    • /////
    • Damage decay added over time on all structures (lawless)

    ------ So lawless is to gather "rare" (different quality) resources but if you arent after it its simply better to farm in freeport because its full PvE right?

    Atlas crashes when trying to load .pnt tattoo's

    Posted: 05 Mar 2019 11:52 AM PST

    I have been doing sails and tattoo's since release and have never had this happen before but I see that it happens to others as well. Does anyone know what exactly causes it to happen and a fix/workaround? The only thing that I've noticed is it tends to get hung up on something that is a large amount of a single color which typically is black for me, however, it doesn't make complete sense as I have multiple large black tattoo's and some of them apply just fine.

    Only other thing I can think of is if there is a threshold for the amount of a certain type of ink?

    Any help or thought's on this is appreciated!

    Treasure Beacon

    Posted: 05 Mar 2019 09:19 AM PST

    Noob here...I know there have been issues with treasure maps...but...

    Do the treasure beacons only show up if you have a shovel or the treasure map equipped?

    The beacon shoots into the sky like a dead body beacon does, right?

    1st treasure and I'm currently wracking my brain over where it is because I'm 99% certain I'm standing on the "X" and I've scoured the area for an hour lol.

    Thanks.

    Atlas Solved: Get Rid of Companies

    Posted: 05 Mar 2019 08:26 AM PST

    From the creator of: "Atlas Solved: Get Rid of PvP" Comes a new heated discussion: Get Rid of Companies.

    Picture this, no Company Safety nets, turn on friendly fire. Alliances and grouping are completely unofficial. Everyone can be anywhere and fight anyone..

    Want to live together verbally agree. Don't like your neighbor, kill them. Don't like your first mate kill them. Don't like your buddy who lives together with you, that kills everyone, Kill them.

    Live the truly lawless pirate life, be the asshole you really want to be.

    Arrrrgh!

    Get Rid of Farming With Tames. Keep 6x.

    Posted: 05 Mar 2019 07:20 AM PST

    Farming with tames is a leftover from Ark and in this game it distracts from the pirate portion. It's basically a gate. "Before you can go be a pirate you need an elephant and a bear and therefore a pen to hold an elephant and a bear and anytime you get raided you need a new elephant and a new bear."

    I propose the following:

    • Tames no longer farm. They are for hauling, scouting, combat and buffs (e.g., crow).
    • All tames gain 2X their current cargo capacity.
    • Permanent 6X farming on wood, thatch and fiber (by hand or tool).
    • Permanent 2X farming on metal and stone.
    • 1X farming on everything else.
    • Permanent 2X on taming.

    The idea is to remove tames as a gateway to ship building and therefore ship combat and therefore piracy and PvP in general, but to keep tames as an interesting somewhat more optional part of the game.

    Optional discussion: buff elephants to compensate for their lack of farming. In real world history they were dangerous combat battle tanks.

    Abusing the freeport for safekeeping boats

    Posted: 05 Mar 2019 06:49 AM PST

    Abusing the freeport for safekeeping boats

    Cursed Fleet is abusing the freeport to keep their boats safe.

    This is abusing the safeport on a PvP server in my POV.

    Freeport is for new people to spawn to get a fresh start, not storing youre raided goods..

    Compilation of our fun pre-wipe. (Talos NA PvP)

    Dry docking without shipyards

    Posted: 04 Mar 2019 01:43 PM PST

    So what I suggest for a change for smaller companies and maybe even larger ones is this: What if, at a Freeport, you could "rent" spots at a marina of sorts for your ships. Cap the number at say 3-5 so it's good for small companies but not so big that you could store a whole fleet? Suggestions?

    How will you win an island claim?

    Posted: 04 Mar 2019 12:51 PM PST

    I know they told us that we will be able to claim an island by placing a claim flag and have a bank on the island and to declare war we will need to buy a token. But how will you be able to fully take over an island? Destroy their tax bank? Also, if you use the token will only your company have the ability to raid or will it be a free-for-all for everyone? They made it seem like everyone will be able to raid. I would be pissed if my company farmed up to buy the token and then some random solo player dealt the final blow to destroy the tax bank and gained the claim. I don't know, how do you guys think it will go?

    Curious Ark vet wondering how Atlas plays.

    Posted: 04 Mar 2019 04:46 PM PST

    Hey all, played Ark a few years from solo raider to alpha tribe breeder and cross server raider. Stopped right before Titans came. How does Atlas compare? It seems like a lot less tame variety so Im guessing its made up for with ship variety? Is solo a more viable option? I dont have the time/patience to join another alpha group. Duping server raiders still a big issue?
