ATLAS Patch 528.11 - Turtle Ship Update

Patch 528.11 - Turtle Ship Update Posted: 26 Aug 2021 06:08 PM PDT Ahoy Pathfinders! Well, the last journey abroad had been a rough go out on the open seas. But we braved through and persevered and finally arrived carrying the long-awaited cargo for all pathfinders to enjoy. Jumping to the stage first, we've made adjustments to our favorite arachnid to allow our pathfinders to traverse to new heights. Spiders are now able to spend their stamina to carry pathfinders vertically up steep terrain and jump higher and further than before. We can't wait to see where you and your spider companions end up! As teased previously, making her maiden voyage into the world of Atlas, the turtle ship brings new defensive options for you and your crew. Not only is she a tank, fully decked out in armor and ready to take a beating, but she also offers some new utility that will change the landscape of the battlefield, literally. Attached at the front of this massive ship is a dragon figurehead that players can activate to breathe clouds of smoke to conceal your fleet's movements. We heard you like buffs so we've also added some buffs to buff towers to uniquely assist your fleet as needed. Depending on which type of resource is used, buff towers will now provide an additional benefit so you can gain advantages where they are needed most. Need some handles in the corners? Try Amethyst and Herkimer in your spire to increase your turning force. Need to lessen your load? Switch to Calcite and Quartz which will decrease the overall weight of a ship (items and structures carried included). Overall, we hope that pathfinders use these new additions to compliment their unique play styles and make every confrontation a unique and memorable one. Rate Up Event Finally, in addition to some major bug fixes to improve the game state, we'll be holding a rate up event until September 6th! X4 Gold X4 Taming X5 Harvesting X5 Exp So grab your crew and take advantage of these higher rates while you can. As always, we, the Atlas team, appreciate your support and 'til next time, may your skies be clear, waters calm, and sails full in whichever way you roam.
