| Ask A Pirate Day. Q&A With the Devs Posted: 10 Jul 2020 05:05 PM PDT Ahoy Pathfinders! We appreciate all the feedback we have received, both written by hardened sea dogs, and those still getting their feet wet. We're monitoring the waves in the Forums, Discord, Steam, Reddit, Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook. Even when we hit rocky shores, you're there mannin' the sails. We're excited to answer some questions that have popped up during our new journey in ATLAS Season 4: The Maelstrom and we hope you're looking forward to all the new content that will be released in the coming months, like Trade Winds, Farms, Warehouses, 'n more! Below are some questions & answers regarding the future development of ATLAS, straight from the horse's mouth. Question: I guess my main [question] would be about new PVP official servers. When you claim an island, is it safe for you or do raids happen? I don't mind PVP at sea but base raids suck. Just curious. Thanks. Answer: Atlas is intended to be a game about pirates, and while our land-based combat is deep and rich, the new energy behind Atlas is to bring that depth and richness to sea as well. More interesting interactions with the oceans and ships is where we are pointed and we'll be making a host of changes to drive more player energy in that direction. Look for our future development to lean towards creating opportunities for greater rewards and higher risks on the water with more opportunities for opt-in conflict. Question: So, I believe that this is the first time that you've acknowledged "seasons". Are you guys considering regular wipes to ATLAS pvp? in many hardcore pvpers opinions, there should be to keep the game fresh. It seems to drop off about 3-4 months in. or maybe a server for it to test? Answer: We agree that it's important for the health of a survival game to have energetic competition over resources, but we want to have our cake and eat it too. So, we are looking for ways to keep these struggles fresh without completely tossing out player progress. We think that coming at it from both sides and wiping when necessary while at the same time helping players hold on to their progress will lead to a vibrant environment of continuous conflict without stagnation. Question: Will ATLAS be available on PS4? Answer: For sure, we want Atlas to be accessible on as many platforms as possible. We are considering whether that means trying to go to PS4 at the end of its life cycle or holding out for the PS5, which is not far off. Until that decision is made, we are focussing on bringing all the new features to our existing players. We hope that answered some of your lingering questions. We have many more questions out there in the deep, and we plan to have Ask a Pirate day as a regular Forum post. Feel free to drop questions here or on our other social channels, and your question might get picked.
